And on the other side, Zhou Shaoyuan was giving Yu Shu, who was preparing to participate in the selection competition, a simple explanation of the competition rules and the time and location of the competition.

Zhou Shaoyuan: “Although there are no hard requirements for the dance style and music for the selection competition, the winners chosen will be playing Guanyin, so the prepared dance style and music can’t be decadent, as that would be inappropriate.”

Tu Jiarong, who was planning to participate in next year’s selection competition, was also listening to Zhou Shaoyuan’s explanation on the side.

“Brother Shaoyuan.” Tu Jiarong asked, “Then at that time, do you sing while dancing, or play an instrument while dancing?”

“That depends on individual choice.” Zhou Shaoyuan smiled slightly, “But generally speaking, more people choose to play an instrument while dancing.”

Tu Jiarong was puzzled, “Why?”

Zhou Shaoyuan explained, “Because singing while dancing consumes a bit more physical energy, and it’s easy for the judges to hear the breathing sounds when singing, so it’s not very common.”

Tu Jiarong had a sudden realization, “Singing while dancing is indeed more tiring.”

But beside them, Yu Shu’s eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

Not being common meant there was a greater chance to stand out.

Singing while dancing consumed a lot of energy and breathing sounds could easily be heard, but for him who was used to singing while dancing, this was not an issue at all.

Tu Jiarong turned her head and asked the main participant of this competition, “A-Shu, have you decided what dance you’re going to perform?”

“I plan to do a sword dance.” Yu Shu smiled with confidence, his exquisite features becoming even more lively, “I’ve already written the song I’ll be singing.”

Although Yu Shu could also use the dances he knew to participate in this selection competition, dancing street dance in ancient times was too much like an old-fashioned transmigration novel.

Yu Shu didn’t want to be like an old-fashioned transmigrated female lead singing “When will the bright moon appear”.

Fortunately, Yu Shu had learned some sword techniques from Xu Junde before, which happened to be adaptable into a sword dance for the competition.

“Sword dance?” Zhou Shaoyuan raised an eyebrow with a hint of surprise, “A-Shu, are you confident?”

Yu Shu replied reservedly: “It’s alright.”

[What do you mean it’s alright? Yu Shu didn’t collapse even after a three-hour concert with singing and dancing. Participating in this selection competition is simply beating them with a higher dimension.] [But Yu Shu has never danced a sword dance before, maybe he will flop this time.] [He hasn’t danced it before, but he can learn and practice. Yu Shu’s dancing is publicly recognized as excellent.]

…

[Exactly! If Yu Shu wasn’t good at dancing, could he be tossed around by Yan Jin?!] [I was just eating, and the previous wheels ran right over my face.]

When Yan Jin learned that Yu Shu planned to do a sword dance, the image of a heroic and dashing Yu Shu in red clothes on a white horse immediately popped into her mind. Even her tone carried a hint of excitement, “Yuanyuan, have you decided what to wear?”

“I’m trying to decide between black and red.” Yu Shu was indecisive, “Black is steady, red is eye-catching, both colors are quite good. I can’t choose between them right now.”

“Why not red then.” Yan Jin suppressed the elation in her heart, “Yuanyuan, you look especially good in red, it really catches the eye.”

Only now, as he had been thinking about the color of his clothes, did Yu Shu notice that Yan Jin’s expression was a bit off.

Seeing Yan Jin so excited that she lost her usual composure, Yu Shu couldn’t help but laugh, “Is it really that good-looking?”

“Of course it is!” Yan Jin nodded vigorously, “You don’t know, the first time I saw you in red riding clothes, sitting on a white horse, I was completely stunned by the sight.”

“The sunlight that day was dazzling, but not as dazzling as your smile.”

Before Yu Shu could feel touched, he saw Yan Jin silently shudder.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling cold?” As Yu Shu spoke, he was about to take off his cloak and put it on Yan Jin.

“No.” Yan Jin shook her head, “I was just disgusted by what I said myself.”

Yu Shu’s eyes narrowed unhappily, “You were disgusted by what you said yourself?”

[Haha, Yan Jin is the first person I’ve seen who gets disgusted by her own words.] [Poor Yan Xiao Xiao, quickly explain the reason, or someone will get upset again.]

What did Xiao Xiao mean by this?

Does she find what she just said to praise him disgusting? Does she find him disgusting?

Yan Jin didn’t know what Yu Shu was thinking, patting her chest with lingering fear, “The sunlight wasn’t as dazzling as your smile – I can’t believe I said such a cheesy pickup line.”

She actually said such an old and tacky pickup line out loud.

“Yuanyuan.” Yan Jin looked at Yu Shu as if seeking his opinion, “Don’t you also think what I just said was too cheesy?”

Yu Shu silently looked at Yan Jin, “I think it’s quite good, not cheesy at all.”

Really, Xiao Xiao just likes to make a fuss over nothing.

Every word exuded Xiao Xiao’s sincerity, every punctuation mark was Xiao Xiao’s heartfelt words.

How was it cheesy? It was clearly very pleasant to hear!

Yan Jin fell into silence.

She had actually forgotten that Yuanyuan’s favorite pickup lines were exactly this style.

The more mushy and sappy, the more Yuanyuan liked it.

And things that could be associated with mushy and sappy were nothing more than those cheesy pickup lines.

Could it be that she would have to go and specially learn how to say cheesy pickup lines in the future?

The little person in Yan Jin’s heart was almost tormented by the cheesy pickup lines, her eyebrows twisting into a caterpillar.

Fortunately, at this moment, Yu Shu opened his mouth and asked Yan Jin a question, interrupting her wild thoughts.

Yu Shu looked at Yan Jin seriously, “Xiao Xiao, do you really want to see me in red that much?”

Yan Jin nodded heavily, “I really want to see it!”

Yu Shu’s skin was already very fair, and after being with Yan Jin, the youthful inexperience between his brows had faded away, replaced by a “mature” beauty.

If he wore red clothes, Yu Shu would definitely be so stunningly eye-catching that people wouldn’t be able to look away.

Yu Shu smiled, the corner of his mouth curling up, “Then I’ll choose black.”

Yan Jin was a bit disappointed, but still respected Yu Shu’s opinion, “Okay, Yuanyuan, you look very good in black too.”

What a pity, she wouldn’t be able to see Yuanyuan dancing in red clothes.

[Stinky brat! What taste you have, red would be so beautiful!] [This is the first time I agree with Yan Jin, Yu Bao is obviously more suited for red!]

Yu Shu reached out to hook Yan Jin’s pinky finger, “Hearing that I chose black, Xiao Xiao, you must be very disappointed, right?”

“It would be a lie to say I’m not disappointed.” Yan Jin nodded honestly, “After all, Yuanyuan, you’re so fair, you would definitely glow in red.”

“I know I look good in red, so I only want to wear it for you alone to see.” Yu Shu pursed his lips in a smile, lowering his voice.

“Tonight, I will change into red clothes and wait for you on the bed.”
