Chapter 232: Please Stay Away From Me!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Tang Beibei heard the man call her a life-devouring demon. When she slept, her mind was filled with demons and ghosts.

And the man beside her was undeniably the most detestable and powerful demon.

Suddenly, the demon opened its mouth like it was going to devour her. She startled awake and turned her head to see his amazing side profile.

How was this man a demon? His handsome face made him look more like an angel.

She slid away from his arm, got up slowly and walked out of the bedroom with her phone.

In the bedroom, the man on the bed habitually patted the space next to him. It was empty.

His eyes flew open, and he sat up in shock. He looked around the room and fixed his gaze on the clock.

3 a.m.

The woman wouldn’t leave him at this hour.

He got up and looked around, but he didn’t find her. He called her and heard her phone ring in the dance studio.

Following the sound of her ringing phone, he walked to the dance studio and saw the woman practicing. He was so angry that he laughed.

This woman was so infuriating sometimes!

Tang Beibei turned around and saw the man. She explained guiltily, “I suddenly had some ideas and wanted to write them down. Hubby, did I wake you?”

Jiang Jingchen walked up to her and touched her forehead. Her temperature seemed normal.

“Did you have a nightmare?”

“Yes. You frightened me.”

“When did I frighten you?”

“You called me a demon. It made me dream. I was surrounded by demons and I’ve become a demon myself.”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. He was praising her when he called her a demon in the heat of the moment. He didn’t expect it to give her nightmares.

His wife’s little brain was indeed different from normal women’s.

“It’s my fault. 1’11 keep you company. Whatever story you are developing, I’ll do it with you.”

He didn’t blame her and was willing to keep her company. Tang Beibei nodded with a smile.

Tang Beibei was going to sit on the floor, but the floor was still very cold in winter despite the central heating. Jiang Jingchen turned up the air conditioner and placed a thin blanket on the floor.

The two of them sat on the thin blanket and filled in the blanks in Tang Beibei’s story. Tang Beibei then conceptualized a few dance sequences.

After working for more than two hours, they went back to catch up on sleep.

Tang Beibei snuggled into the man’s arms in bed. It was not cold in their bedroom but she wanted to stay warm in his arms.

Against the sound of his heartbeat, Tang Beibei thought that the most touching confession was not the oath of eternal love, but offering his support and help in whatever she did without blaming her or mocking her.

This feeling made her more confident, including her confidence and trust in him.

She loved this man so much!

Jiang Jingchen adjusted the blanket and patted her back. “Don’t be scared, Obedient Beibei. No demons or ghosts will hurt you.”

He was comforting her, afraid that she would have nightmares again.

Tang Beibei chuckled. He was the greatest demon, who often tricked her and tortured her to death.

Tang Beibei told Ruan Qi about her story, and Ruan Qi immediately agreed. To tell her story, a classical dance would be too elegant and jazz or hip-hop would show too much attitude. The two of them looked at each other when they thought about doing a modern dance.

But they were both not good at modern dance.

But they had their captain, Fu Jin.

Fu Jin learned ballet when he was three and won the World Ballet Champion Award when he was ten. He had won many prestigious awards on dance stages all over the world by the time he was fifteen and he had been practicing modern dance for the past few years.

When the two of them found him, Fu Jin was happy to help. He pointed out some parts that needed correction and began to correct their movements.

Fu Jin was usually very nice to the two of them but during dance training, Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi realized that he was a demon.

He was a perfectionist and was extremely harsh, even more so than a few substitute teachers.

He made them practice each section repeatedly until they got it right before moving on to the next section.

Tang Beibei looked sideways at the man, thinking that this man was not practicing dance, but making art.

And he had the ability to express art through dance.

Tang Beibei was forced to learn dance at first, but she grew to like it as she practiced more. She felt that it was a way to vent her anger. She now saw her narrow-mindedness and weakness in cultural foundation.

The more she learned, the more she felt she was lacking.

She didn’t know what this meant in the past but now she did. Dance set her heart on fire.

“Tang Beibei, Ruan Qi, don’t practice anymore if you guys can’t get it right. I’ve already taught you the movements and you still can’t get the opening right?” Fu Jin was a little angry.

Tang Beibei panicked when she heard him call their full names. “We’ll continue to practice. Thank you for your guidance, Captain.”

Fu Jin took a deep breath. He knew that he was too excited and said, “If you want to do it, do it well. It’s a lot of hard work and inconvenience but it’s all part of the process.”

“I’ve given you the honest truth long ago. Members of our dance troupe are mostly dance majors. If 1 gave them these movements, they would definitely do better than you!”

His words were hurtful but true.

Tang Beibei wiped her sweat and continued practicing.

To extend their training time, they left Fu Jin’s dance studio and went to Tang Beibei’s villa.

After a quick dinner, the two of them went to the dance studio.

Downstairs, Song Zhou saw that Silent Sister had finished preparing a fruit platter. He went up to her and offered to bring it upstairs to the girls.

Silent Sister didn’t think too much about it and handed him the fruit platter.

Song Zhou walked to the door of the dance studio and knocked three times before pushing the door open and entering.

He was about to ask them to take a break and have some fruit when he saw Ruan Qi wiping her tears. He stopped in his tracks and asked, “Miss Ruan, what’s wrong?”

“It has nothing to do with you.”

She wiped her tears with her sleeve and stood up to practice but her footsteps were wobbly.

Song Zhou put down the fruit platter and walked up to her. He wanted to help her up, but she glared at him.

“I’m fine. Leave me alone.”

“But your legs don’t seem to be fine.”

“My legs are numb from sitting, okay?” Ruan Qi was stubborn. She shook her left foot and started counting the beats.

Suddenly, she stumbled, and Song Zhou went up to support her.

“Miss Ruan, you are injured. You need to rest.”

Ruan Qi was a little annoyed and pushed him away.

“I’m fine.”

“Being stubborn is not a good habit.”

He stared at her legs and wanted to check her out. “Miss Ruan, everything is a process. You can’t become a fatty from one bite.”

“It’s the same logic as how you can’t fall in love with a woman in a short period of time, right?”

Song Zhou was a little embarrassed as she flung his hand away.

Ruan Qi continued, “Don’t put on a fake act here and pretend to be nice. I don’t need anyone to pity me. There are many people and things that 1 like but can’t get. Adding you to the list isn’t that big a deal.”

“Don’t pretend to be knight in shining armor. I, Ruan Qi, am indeed not good enough. I don’t know how to be gentle or behave like a lady. This is who I am. I can understand if you don’t like me.”

“Please stay away from me! 1 won’t hang on when I’m not wanted.”

Song Zhou looked at her in shock. Did she think that he despised her?

He pursed his lips, not knowing how to explain himself. It was not that she wasn’t good enough, but he was not worthy of her..
