With this naive thought, Yu Shu fell into a long silence after seeing Yan Jin’s dance, which was like humans’ first attempt at taming their limbs.
Indeed, the heavens are fair. When it opens a door for Yan Jin, it will close a window—Yan Jin’s talent in music and dance is almost zero.
Although dance and music could be chosen from two options, the fact that Yan Jin wasn’t very good at either was a headache.
Just when Yan Jin was prepared for the possibility of failing the in-class quiz, Yu Shu found her again, “I thought of a dance that you’ll definitely be able to do.”
Yan Jin asked him, “Is it easy to learn?”
“Very easy to learn!” Yu Shu patted his chest to guarantee, “You’ll definitely be able to do it.”
After saying that, Yu Shu began to demonstrate the movements to Yan Jin while keeping the beat.
Yan Jin followed along, but as she danced, she felt that something seemed wrong, “Isn’t this… radio calisthenics?”
Yu Shu was so into it that he even shouted out the whole exercise routine.
“Yes!” Yu Shu nodded affirmatively, “So you must have done it when you were little.”
Yan Jin was silent for a moment, then said, “But I did the second set of radio calisthenics when I was little, ‘The Times Are Calling’.”
Yu Shu also fell into silence, “I did the ninth set of radio calisthenics when I was little.”
The two thought of their age gap and looked at each other. The atmosphere froze for a moment.
[Ha-ha, I didn’t expect their first generation gap to be this.] [You don’t understand how great ‘The Times Are Calling’ is! I did it once and my shoulders and back opened up!]Although the two learned different sets of radio calisthenics, Yu Shu saw that Yan Jin could keep up with the rhythm of the radio calisthenics, so he taught her the Chinese-style radio calisthenics.
“The radio calisthenics we did in school were simple and easy to learn, but not very aesthetically pleasing.” Yu Shu said, “This Chinese-style version of radio calisthenics is both simple and good-looking. You can totally use it for your in-class quiz.”
Yan Jin, who didn’t really want to continue learning the exercise routine, politely refused, “I think ‘The Times Are Calling’ is enough.”
Yu Shu glanced at her, “Do you think that set of exercises looks like a dance?”
Yan Jin: “…Not really.”
“So listen to me on this.” Yu Shu said, “Only this Chinese-style version of radio calisthenics can pass for a dance. The others don’t look like dances at all.”
“Then I’ll memorize the commands.” Yan Jin was convinced, “Later during the quiz, I can use them to keep the beat for myself.”
“You’re going to call out the beats for yourself?” Yu Shu blinked, “Didn’t we agree that I would accompany you?”
“When did we agree on that?” Yan Jin was slightly surprised, “You didn’t tell me.”
“Do I need to tell you about this kind of thing?” Yu Shu raised his voice, “You dance, I accompany and call out the beats. Don’t we have even this bit of tacit understanding?”
Yan Jin was even more surprised, “My classroom is quite far from yours. You’re going to come over then?”
It was also because of this reason that Yan Jin had never thought of having Yu Shu carry his instrument over. It was too troublesome.
“It’s your first exam. Of course I have to go over. Otherwise, I won’t be at ease.” Yu Shu patted his chest, “It’s just an instrument. I have strength and can carry it.”
[I’m particularly curious about one question now. It looks like Yan Jin and Yu Shu will be together. Have their parents met?] [Yu Shu’s younger brother and Yan Jin’s younger brother have already become good friends. Do you think the parents on both sides have met?]The three mothers in front of the screen saw this bullet screen comment and smiled at each other.
Qin’s mother said sincerely, “The two children haven’t settled down yet, but if they really get together, I will definitely treat Yan Jin like my own daughter.”
Yu’s mother didn’t want to be outdone either, “Yan Jin’s mother, don’t worry. If Yuanyuan dares to bully Yan Jin, I will definitely beat him to death!”
Listening to the two earnest faces, Yan Jin’s mother felt more and more guilty. When she returned home that night, she couldn’t help but whisper to Yan Jin’s father, “Yuanyuan’s mothers are too enthusiastic. I’m really worried that our Yan Jin will get tired of him within a month of being with Yuanyuan.”
Yan Jin’s father suggested, “Since you’re afraid that it will be embarrassing if the two children don’t end up together later, then you should reduce the number of times you go out shopping and have tea with them.”
“But Yuanyuan’s mothers are so good-looking. Every time they ask me to hang out, they dress up very beautifully,” Yan Jin’s mother sighed, “Especially Yuanyuan’s biological mother. When those eyes stare at me, I can’t bear to say ‘no’.”
Yan Jin’s father sighed with his hand on his forehead, “You mother and daughter are really of the same lineage, controlled by appearance.”
