Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn

Thank you T. for the ko-fi donation~ So far, it’s still (1/2) for the next bonus chapter!

Shen Xingsui, meanwhile, was in dire straits. These “fairy-like” dance steps looked awful when he did them, unlike when those dancer girls did it. Back then, the girls’ movement was like silk, fluttering in the air, inviting you to come closer. 

Zhang Chi comforted him and said, “It’s okay, Suisui take your time, we can do it again.”

Shen Xingsui nodded.

One of the dance steps they were practicing was the movement where the bride danced around the groom before pulling her closer in a circle, then they started circling each other, separating, like a push-and-pull flirting. Sadly, when Shen Xingsui and Zhang Chi did it, they couldn’t make it look good due to the lack of tacit understanding between them. 

They tried to do the steps again, but when Shen Xingsui “pulled” from Zhang Chi, they have a mismatched sense of timing, making Shen Xingsui fell to the ground.

Zhang Chi said with some embarrassment, “Did I delay you?”

Shen Xingsui shook his head lightly, and stood up again from the ground. He dusted off his clothing, then smiled as he replied, “I think we’re just pulling each other’s ankles at this point.”  

Zhang Chi was amused by these words. 

After slapping his feet a bit to get rid of the soreness, Shen Xingsui said, “I feel much better already. Let’s try again, otherwise what will be performed tonight is not a fairy descending to the earth, but a fairy face-falling to the ground.” 

Zhang Chi looked at Shen Xingsui’s humorous expression. He has always admired this quality of Shen Xingsui – he wouldn’t get discouraged easily, and instead have a humorous appearance of comforting himself. Suddenly, this brought back a sense of nostalgia for Zhang Chi. 

Shen Xingsui hesitated, “Why are you in a daze?”

Zhang Chi came back to his senses, and said slowly, “No, I just feel that you seem to be… like your past self.” 

‘You used to love to laugh, and you were very optimistic and cheerful.’

‘Then you slowly changed.’

‘Ever since Anran transferred to our school, you have gradually become a bit gloomy, and you don’t like to laugh anymore. You become… scarier back then.’

‘But now… like a withered sprout suddenly getting sun and rain exposure, you bloomed once again.’ 

And for Zhang Chi, such Shen Xingsui made his heart move again. After returning to China, he has been paying attention to his former best friend. The more he looked at him, the more he was attracted to him now, and he wanted to make up for his past mistakes.

Shen Xingsui was puzzled. He wiped the sweat off his head and asked, “What do you mean?”

Zhang Chi wanted to explain, but then he realized that the camera was still rolling. So, he instead shook his head and smiled sunnily again. “No, I think you’re pretty good now!”

Although Shen Xingsui didn’t understand what Zhang Chi meant, he didn’t care because he was still focused on dancing. He rolled up his sleeves and said, “Then let’s continue to practice again. “

Zhang Chi smiled and said, “Okay!”

Although the movements were simple, Zhang Chi would inevitably stumble because of his low foundation in dancing. Just when the two of them were in a dilemma, someone’s voice came from the side, “Zhang Chi, you are dancing! Don’t focus on your legs blindly, pay attention to your partner’s eyes, and look up.”

The two were stunned and looked back.

Fu Jinxiao came over, and the male dancer came over and corrected Zhang Chi’s postures, “Try again.”

Zhang Chi nodded, and then tried to dance with Shen Xingsui again. This time he didn’t put his weight all over the place. After he successfully coordinated his feet with his eyes, he finally got better. 

Zhang Chi said gratefully, “Fu-ge, thank you, how did you know?”

Shen Xingsui answered with a bright smile, “Teacher Fu is a very experienced senior! When I participated in the “Starlight” audition, my dance was also taught by him. I was super stupid at that time, and my dancing even more so. You don’t know that Teacher Fu is very good. He gave me a few pointers, and I danced very well in that part…” 

Zhang Chi could only watch Shen Xingsui gushing over his idol. 

Shen Xingsui might have looked introverted and shy, but once he talked about the topic he was interested in, he could talk for hours on end. Just like now. 

Zhang Chi glanced at Fu Jinxiao who was not far away. The tall and handsome man had a lazy posture, but his aura was very strong. Especially when he pointed out his shortcomings, he hit the nail on the coffin with every pointer. 

Zhang Chi said softly, “Indeed, Teacher Fu is very powerful…”

He felt a little frustrated.

Although he did have a crush on Shen Xingsui, in front of a strong and mature man like Fu Jinxiao, he was pathetic in comparison. He had no chance of winning at all.

Shen Xingsui asked, “Do it again?”

Zhang Chi regained his senses, nodded lightly and agreed. “Okay!”

Although the dance steps have gradually become familiar, he was very nervous because he was being watched by other people. He was unsteady at first, but after a while of his nerves being stretched taut, he made a mistake. As he turned, his body’s center of gravity shifted, making him fall to the ground and spraining his feet along the fall. 

Shen Xingsui was slightly surprised, and went over to help him in a panic, “Are you okay?”

Zhang Chi’s face was a little ugly, and he said, “It’s okay, I might just need to take a rest.”

The dancer girl also ran closer to inspect his feet. “Then why don’t you take a break first?”

Everyone stopped, taking this opportunity to rest.

Because Zhang Chi’s ankle was sprained, the program team of course arranged for emergency medicines such as safflower oil to be delivered. Since Zhang Chi was his partner, Shen Xingsui took on the task of administering medicine to reduce the swelling. 

The two were suddenly very close. 

Zhang Chi looked up at him with some myriad of bottled emotion. With a warm whisper, he said, “Thank you, Suisui…”

Shen Xingsui felt that it was just a matter of raising his hands, and said lightly, “It’s okay, if you feel uncomfortable, you should say it. It’s more important.”

What he implied was– “If you feel you couldn’t dance for today, you should say it now so we can change your partner quickly. Let’s not delay the task completion.” 

But Zhang Chi obviously misunderstood, and only felt that Shen Xingsui cared about him very much.

Zhang Chi looked at Shen Xingsui with hope in his eyes, “Suisui…”

Not far away, the dancer girl also brought over a traditional medicine. Since Fu Jinxiao was close, she handed it to him and said, “Our wound medicine will take effect very quickly, let brother apply it, and it will be cured soon.”

Fu Jinxiao nodded lightly.

When walking slowly, he saw this “dazzling” scene. Shen Xingsui was doing his job very seriously, but the young man looked up at him with a different kind of affection in his eyes. This should’ve been just a simple first-aid treatment, but now it was tainted with such a feeling. It provoked a sense of… something unpleasant. Actor Fu narrowed his eyes slightly – he knew that he had a bad habit, that is, when he became unhappy, he would make the culprit feel the same. 

Fu Jinxiao walked over slowly, and handed the medicine to Shen Xingsui, “This is from his sister, let him use it.” 

The actor  froze for a moment, then he frowned slightly, but didn’t say anything. He just handed the powder to Shen Xingsui. However, Shen Xingsui somehow felt that there was something wrong. He hesitated on the ground for a moment, then quickly stood up and said, “Teacher Fu, do you feel uncomfortable in your shoulder?”     

Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows.     

“I heard from her that you carried several loads of water in the morning.” Shen Xingsui looked at Fu Jinxiao. Although his back was still straight and his expression was as usual, no matter how well he maintained it, he still couldn’t hide it. The tired look between his brows reminded Shen Xingsui that he seemed to have been on a business trip for the past two days for various jobs. He shouldn’t have enough rest as of lately. 

How can he not be tired?

Plus, tonight, he needs to carry such a heavy drum to dance… 

And yet, he still agreed on such tiring role. While letting Shen Xingsui get the easier one. 

Shen Xingsui felt sore in his heart, he took a deep breath and said, “Are you feeling unwell? How about I massage it? It might be better.” He looked at Fu Jinxiao for a moment .

However, those who are familiar with Fu Jinxiao, including his fans, know that this person never troubles others.

Even when he participated in the recording of a show, his wrist injury did not affect the recording. He insisted on working, only going to the hospital after it ended. He also used to keep a distance from other juniors, so there has always been zero scandal .

But this time…

Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows slightly. His beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as it swept over Zhang Chi, who was sitting not far away. Then, he finally nodded, “Okay.”

Shen Xingsui didn’t expect that answer. And so was Zhang Chi, who thought Fu Jinxiao would definitely refuse. 

Fu Jinxiao’s dark eyes were gloomy, yet his face was still very kind. “But don’t you still need to give Zhang Chi medicine? I think his condition is quite serious, or… “

Shen Xingsui turned and looked at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi suddenly felt the pressure, “It’s okay, I can do it by myself, she can also help me.”

Then Shen Xingsui said to Fu Jinxiao: “Then let me massage your shoulder.” 

“Alright.” 

Fu Jinxiao sat down on a chair not far away. The man’s movements were elegant. He purposefully missed Zhang Chi’s complicated gaze, while the corner of his mouth curled up. “Then I will trouble you.”
