Chapter 229 - 229 In Drag

229 In Drag

Qiao Yue really didn’t know how to dance.

However, the part this girl was in charge of wasn’t really a dance. It’s more like martial arts.

Hong Ning showed Qiao Yue their rehearsal video.

Qiao Yue only took a few minutes to remember the dance sequence in general.

When she was training before, she had trained with cold weapons like swords and sabers. Sword dance was just choreographing sword moves into a dance sequence.

Moreover, this student wasn’t in charge of a mass dance, but a solo.

If Qiao Yue could remember the sequence and keep the beat, he could replace her.

Hong Ning looked at Qiao Yue worriedly. “Can you really do it? If you can’t, we can just give up the opportunity to win the award instead of making things difficult for you.”

Qiao Yu turned to look at Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue wasn’t listening to what people were saying at all. His eyes were fixed on the screen as he committed every movement to memory.

Qiao Yu’s memory was very good, and she memorized the sequence very quickly.

Besides, many of the movements in a sword dance were just modified versions of swordsmanship. They were just toned-down versions of the sword movements. This was not difficult for Qiao Yue.

“It’s okay, you can trust Qiao Yue.” Qiao Yu patted Hong Ning’s shoulder.

Qiao Yu knew that Qiao Yue wasn’t as simple as he looked. He believed that Qiao Yue could do it.

“Really?”

Qiao Yue put down the phone and turned on the speakers.

She picked up a prop sword and went through the sword dance sequence on the spot.

Because the dressing room wasn’t big, everyone moved to make space for Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue followed the music and casually swung the sword as she danced. She was stronger than the original girl, so her sword movements left afterimages.

A few boys started to cheer.

As the music climaxed, her movements became faster. She looked very skilled, as if she had practiced the dance countless times.

“Impressive! He looks like the main character of a martial arts movie.”

“Yeah, Qiao Yue looks so thin, but he’s so good at sword dancing.”

Qiao Yu watched Qiao Yue’s movements from the side and thought to himself that his fifth brother was indeed not simple. He knew everything, even sword dance, which required years of experience.

He started to admire Qiao Yue.

With his talent, he could easily live a good life even if he left the Qiao family. Why did he live in Nanshan Village? Or did he come to the Qiao family to find something?

The sword dance, which lasted a minute and a half, stunned the students in the dressing room.

Qiao Yue was a genius! How did he remember the entire sequence in such a short time and performed it perfectly?

After the dance, the dressing room was filled with loud applause.

Hong Ning’s eyes were filled with admiration for Qiao Yue.

She had practiced dance for years and after watching Qiao Yue, she felt that he must be a gifted person.

Although it was a sword dance, Qiao Yue’s memory and sense of rhythm were not bad, and her movements and positioning were perfect.

She quickly handed the costume to Qiao Yue and pulled him to the dressing table.

“Genius, I’m counting on you to save the day.”

Before Qiao Yue could react, Hong Ning had already pressed her in front of the mirror.

Hong Ning had gotten an ancient-style female wig from somewhere and put it on Qiao Yue’s head.

“Do I need to wear a wig for this?” Qiao Yue was a little confused.

“Yes, you do. This is a female costume. We didn’t prepare an ancient-style male wig. You’ll need to dress up as a girl.”

Qiao Yue choked.

What was she doing? A pretend boy in drag?

Hong Ning moved quickly, adjusting the wig and putting makeup on Qiao Yue.

The character in this scene was a heroine, so her makeup and hairstyle were not overly feminine.

If this was a boy, he wouldn’t look so much like a girl. But when this was Qiao Yue, things were a little different.

Qiao Yue’s facial features looked like a boy’s because of her messy hair. Without the messy hair, her facial features stood out beautifully.

Hong Ning, who was putting eyeshadow on Qiao Yue, praised, “You look beautiful. Really beautiful.”

Brown eye shadow outlined her slightly upturned eyes. Her big eyes were black and bright, and they were sparkling.

“Qiao Yue, if you were a girl, you’d definitely be very pretty.” Hong Ning sighed in admiration after she finished Qiao Yue’s makeup.
