Chapter 44 Competition
After all, Batman's life can only be done occasionally under extreme circumstances. If it becomes the norm, Sarah from the California Special Investigation Bureau will come to the door first.
Life has returned to its original state, but there is one more person who calls every day in this original life. That's right, that's Zooey. Since that night, Zooey seems to have become very enthusiastic about Zhen Fan.
"Zhen, do you like Chinese food? Sichuan food or Cantonese food? Northern bread?"
Obviously, Zooey may have been busy with Chinese food recipes during this time, and she can still name several local dishes, but she directly regards the steamed buns in the north as bread, which makes Zhen Fan dumbfounded.
"I'm not picky eaters!"
Zhen Fan had to deal patiently with Zooey on the phone. Didn't he just save her once? This girl is too enthusiastic, she has a tendency to agree with her body. Of course, if Zhen Fan wants it, everything will be fine.
"Are you learning to cook Chinese food?"
"Yeah, one of my classmates is Chinese. He is very easy to get along with. I ask him for advice when I have time. I have to say, you Chinese are too obsessed with eating! It's just... like sand in the desert. Same, you can make many, many dishes!"
This comparison made Zhen Fan break out in cold sweat. It might as well be compared to water in the sea, but the enthusiasm of the girl prevented him from hanging up the phone directly, and wiped his face with a handkerchief while listening.
"I'll make it for you when I have time." Zooey looked very excited, "That Chinese classmate said that my taste is already very Chinese, you don't know how he is sweating profusely after eating, it's so satisfying gone."
"He's been eating your Chinese food?"
Zhen Fan asked with some concern.
"Well, it used to be, but these days his stomach feels a little uncomfortable, so... but he said that if his stomach gets better, he will continue to eat. Of course, this is just his wishful thinking. I am already a Chinese chef. Why? Would you still cook casually for people to eat? But, Zhen, except you!"
Zhen Fan wiped his face again, and the handkerchief was able to wring out water. That poor compatriot, fortunately, Zoe will not force him to try her Chinese food anymore.
"Actually... I have recently become fond of American food, so..."
"Ha! I'm better at this! There is a chance for you to try my skills!" Zoe seems to be addicted to cooking, whether it's Chinese or American.
"I want to say, you don't need to do it for me alone..."
"Of course... I will invite Julia to come with me, when I finish my work."
"Well, I'm looking forward to it!" Zhen Fan hung up the phone helplessly, and had to say that he was looking forward to it. As for why Zoe was so enthusiastic about helping her cook, Zhen Fan attributed it to thanking herself. He tried not to let himself think too deeply.
If he knew that Zoe heard something very Chinese from her Chinese classmate, he would probably hate his compatriot to death.
Because Zoe asked that compatriot a question very preciously: how to capture the heart of a Chinese man?
As a result, the Chinese compatriot said to Zoe very cherished and excited: "If you want to capture the heart of a Chinese man, you must grasp that man's stomach."
As a result, this compatriot became a test subject for a few days, tortured and in pain, so he had to excuse his stomach trouble and hide when he saw Zoe.
But these days,
The cooperation between Zhen Fan and Brenda has become more and more perfect, and Brenda's selection competition has also begun, just this afternoon.
Jennifer is performing on stage.
I have to say that Jennifer has a very high talent for dancing. In this regard, she is basically on par with Brenda, but her partner is too thin, and she can't complete many difficult movements. Plain, the result can be imagined, beautiful but not touching.
Jennifer didn't have any expression on her face, she just tried her best to complete her dance moves. She knew that she lacked a good dance partner, and this was her shortcoming. She was very jealous of Brenda who got lucky, but she didn't hate Zhen Fan by the way, on the contrary, she had some good feelings for her.
The music stopped and Jennifer ended her dance with a swan-like stretch. She was indeed like a wounded swan, using that action to freeze her bad mood.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
There was applause from the audience. When Jennifer took the curtain call, she saw the judges in the front row of the stage, applauded lightly, and communicated with each other from time to time, but there was still a slight smile on their expressions, which made Jennifer look forward to it again.
"It's our time!"
Brenda nodded to Zhen Fan, Molly and Elisa. The four nodded in tacit understanding, glanced at each other, and then walked onto the stage.
There are only judges under the stage and no audience, but this is more a test than when there are audiences, because one's own destiny is controlled by these few people.
The "Boutit" accompaniment sounded.
Brenda's appearance was amazing. The difficulty of the toss jump that she had cooperated with Zhen Fan for a long time had surpassed that of Jennifer by a lot. Her stretching dance in the air immediately caught the eyes of the judges.
Jennifer was very depressed at this time, and she was in a bad mood. She even thought that if she cooperated with Zhen Fan, she could do this action, or even do it better.
Her eyes were fixed on the stage, and she clenched her fists tightly.
In the music with a strong sense of rhythm, Brenda is like an elf flying in the jungle, sometimes stretching gracefully, sometimes wild and unrestrained, the music that makes people tremble, combined with the dancing posture, makes people feel alive a feeling of
The hip-hop movements allowed Zhen Fan to play to his heart's content. The rhythm and tumbling in the air led Brenda to spin and jump. The two of them seemed to have been dancing partners for many years. With just one look and one look, they knew what the next move was going to be.
From time to time, the two male judges nodded their heads along with the rhythm. The rest held their breath and stared at the stage closely.
"I love this mash-up dance!"
A male judge smiled and whispered to a female judge next to him.
"Nice girl!"
The female judges also nodded, expressing their approval for Brenda.
On the stage, the rhythm of the music is getting stronger and stronger, as if the wind gathers rain.
Zhen Fan took Brenda and spun quickly, and suddenly followed the spinning posture, grabbed Brenda's waist and lifted her up. In the air, Brenda's hair fell down, in a flying posture, His hands are like the wings of a swan outstretched, and his legs are arched.
Brenda twirled in Zhen Fan's hands, like a feather dragged in Zhen Fan's palm, or dancing in his palm.
"God, it's perfect! This is the vitality of dance!" A judge couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice. Few people can do this kind of dance, or those who can do it, he hasn't seen it yet, but he saw it today!
The rhythm was getting higher and faster, and Zhen Fan suddenly threw Brenda up and caught it. Brenda's soft body slid and prostrated on the ground following Zhen Fan's gestures. Following the final rhythm, Zhen Fan pulled Brenda up again and put his arms around her waist. Brenda spun around several times before suddenly leaning back.
Zhen Fan held her firmly, and her hair flowed down again. The music stopped abruptly, and the shape of the two people was like a sculpture with strong colors frozen in frame.
The lights are slowly dimming!
"It's perfect!" The judges whispered to each other.
When the lights came on, looking at the four people standing in a row, the breasts of the three girls were still rising and falling rapidly, while the man in the middle was smiling calmly.
Jennifer was full of grievances, but she had no place to vent. Two lines of tears slowly slid down her cheeks, and she turned around quietly. She knew that this stage no longer belonged to her for the time being. She went out with her fists clenched, and she swore that she would definitely return to this stage, a stage that only belonged to her.
The backstage was full of jubilation. Looking at the expressions of the judges, Brenda knew that she had made it this time. She jumped excitedly, held hands with Molly and Elisa, and embraced together heartily.
"Zhen, thank you!" Brenda hugged Molly and Elisa, then slowly turned around and walked in front of Zhen Fan, opened her arms, wrapped around Zhen Fan's waist, and deeply pressed her face Buried in Zhen Fan's chest.
"You deserve it!" Zhen Fan patted her on the back and whispered in her ear, "Look, the judges have come in!"
Startled, Brenda quickly let go of Zhen Fan, turned her head to look over, and saw several judges pushing the door in, and the middle-aged man in the lead walked over.
"You dance really well!" The man hugged Brenda lightly, then turned to look at Zhen Fan, "Why don't I remember your face, maybe I've neglected something? You are very good!"
"I'm not a student here, I'm here to help Brenda!"
"That's such a pity!" The man clicked his lips, looking very regretful. If this man was a student of his own school, he would be able to train a master dancer.
"Actually he's a neighbor!" Brenda introduced.
"Okay, but now we should talk about your participation in the competition on behalf of the school. We will talk as we walk, and the judges are still waiting!"
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Although Brenda had expected it, after the man said it, the feeling of excitement still filled her heart.
"Since that is not our student, then we need to re-provide you with a dance partner, because the contestants can only be contestants from our own school..." The man walked and talked to Brenda.
Brenda turned her head and shrugged helplessly at Zhen Fan, saying that she couldn't accompany him anymore.
Zhen Fan waved his hand to let her go first, then smiled at Molly and Elisa: "When Brenda comes back, tell her that I'm going back first! And on my behalf, congratulate her. "
"Brenda will not like this arrangement!"
Molly muttered.
"Is your clinic about to open?"
Eliza asked aside.
"Yes, right away, maybe in two days!" Zhen Fan smiled, then lightly patted the shoulders of the two of them, waved his hands, and walked out.
Walking out of the school all the way, he hailed a taxi and drove home.
Brenda got out of school very early today, and she went home early just to see Zhen earlier. It's not just for gratitude, it's an urgent desire anyway, I want Zhen Fan to share his joy!
"Hi, mom, I'm going out!" Brenda put down her backpack in the living room and left.
"What's the result of the game?" Angela looked at her expectantly.
"Very good, Mom, I'm leaving first!"
Brenda hurriedly hugged Angela, and then rushed out. In Angela's surprised eyes, Brenda was like a happy butterfly.
Looking out, Angela couldn't help sighing, Brenda was walking towards Zhen Fan's room, Angela returned to the living room silently, a little dazed, not sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing!
