Almost everyone at Starry Sky Kindergarten was buzzing about Teacher Tang's pregnancy.
Teacher Tang and the gatekeeper Li Yi were both founders of the kindergarten.
Given their age, this baby was not easy to co by.
So, the colleagues at Starry Sky Kindergarten imdiately elevated her to the highest care level.
Liu Chef was constantly coming up with delicious als for her.
Doctor Lu was even seen carrying obstetrics books around as if he were preparing for a major exam.
Street dance instructor Qi Yuan noticed everyone bustling about, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
But soon, his thoughts turned to his own troubles, and his smile quickly faded.
He thought about hurrying back to the dance studio.
But just as he took a few steps, Liu Chef called out to him, "Hey, do you want sothing light today?" Qi Yuan and the classical dance instructor Wu Feng needed to maintain their figures.
They would go running after eating every day.
They were particularly diligent about it, prompting Liu Chef to prepare diet als for them every now and then, sparing them the daily runs.
Liu Chef said, "You're so busy with all these classes and the pop-up store lessons. What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you!"
Qi Yuan was the only one Liu Chef would offer to cook for.
Qi Yuan was pleasantly surprised, "No need, I'll eat anything. You already have to cook for so many people, and making special als is too much work."
Liu Chef replied, "Hey, it's no trouble at all. I enjoy cooking, and as long as you're eating well, that's what matters."
After a pause, Liu Chef added, "Young man, you're so handso, don't be unhappy."
Qi Yuan was taken aback, then looked at Liu Chef and simply nodded, exchanging a few more words before almost fleeing the scene.
He had long been accustod to responding to life with silence.
It was the first ti soone close to him showed concern.
It almost made him cry.
He had been a trainee for many years, used to being alone.
A little bit of kindness was enough to overwhelm him.
But he always wrapped himself up too tightly.
At Starry Sky, everyone frequently responded to him with kindness.
He was sowhat at a loss.
All he could do was dance even harder.
But he was actually very anxious, not expecting Liu Chef to notice even these subtle changes in his mood.
After a while, he returned to the dance studio.
He shared a large dance studio with Wu Feng, the classical dance instructor.
Although there were smaller studios available,
Having gotten used to the large studio, the smaller ones always felt too constricting.
He arrived just in ti to see Wu Feng dancing in a long robe, his movents embodying the essence of traditional Chinese dance.
Every smile and gesture seed naturally elegant.
Watching Wu Feng dance was always a special treat.
The two of them also partnered for runs.
Both had a need to stay fit, and sohow, their relationship had grown closer.
In the entire kindergarten, they had the best relationship.
However, their schedules often conflicted.
So, it was rare for them to be together in the dance studio.
Qi Yuan hadn't expected him to be there and paused briefly in surprise.
But he sat quietly on the side, not wanting to disturb, simply enjoying the performance.
Though his background was different, having seen classical dancers since his trainee days,
He knew those dancers were nowhere near Wu Feng's level.
After the dance, Qi Yuan handed Wu Feng a towel.
Wu Feng wiped off his sweat with the towel.
Qi Yuan took a few light breaths before speaking, "What's wrong with you? You seem a bit down lately."
Startled, Qi Yuan realized this was the second person to comnt on his mood. Was it really that obvious?
After a mont of silence, Qi Yuan replied, "It's not that I'm unhappy."
Such things shouldn't be discussed with colleagues.
It could lead to rumors that he was disloyal.
Yet, his colleagues cared so much that they even noticed the slightest changes in his mood.
Brushing them off felt sowhat dishonest.
He truly wanted to be part of this big community.
Finally, Qi Yuan decided to share his recent troubles: "I've been contacted by a show recently. It's a street dance program!"
He had been dancing street dance for over ten years and had been a lead dancer in his team.
With so fa online, the show invited him to compete as a contestant.
The street dance show was already in its fifth season.
Among enthusiasts, it was highly regarded.
Securing a good position could an recognition as a top dancer in the street dance community.
This opportunity was offered by an old entertainnt industry contact.
The old contact hoped he would return to the entertainnt scene.
The current buzz was fleeting.
And with his fanbase, the monetization was still minimal.
With so managent, he could even earn millions per month.
But it required signing with an agency and a financial contract.
The old contact hadn't expected to catch a big fish by releasing a batch of unprofitable small fries.
The old contact was very enthusiastic, even bringing up contract dissolution.
He ntioned how they had hired professional dance instructors and invested a lot in them.
And it was a free contract dissolution, a rather conscientious practice in the entertainnt industry.
If he returned, it would be better than starting anew, continuing with their company.
Wu Feng listened intently and asked, "So, do you want to go?"
"I don't want to."
It was Starry Sky Kindergarten that had brought him such fa and fortune.
If he left now, they wouldn't even have a backup teacher.
He couldn't just walk away after everything they had given him.
Moreover, the people at Starry Sky Kindergarten were really good to him.
This familial feeling made it hard for him to leave.
Wu Feng said, "Then don't go."
A simple statent made Qi Yuan smile, "Right! It's such a simple decision. Go if you want, stay if you don't."
Yet, it had beco a heavy burden, circling in his mind for days.
He didn't want to go, but he also feared offending people. In the entertainnt industry, you never know when you might need soone. It was really troubling him.
After Wu Feng spoke, Qi Yuan finally relaxed, "Alright, I know now. I don't even know what to eat for lunch today."
Wu Feng's expression changed, "I really can't keep gaining weight. I'm planning to increase my running from 5 kiloters to 10."
Qi Yuan laughed, "Count in."
With that, the conversation opened up, and Qi Yuan flatly refused to participate in the show.
But he had a group chat with forr teammates.
Since everyone had gone their separate ways, it had been a long ti since anyone had spoken in it.
The last ti they spoke was two years ago, and just now, a ssage popped up in the group chat: "Are you guys going to the street dance? Brother Li contacted ."
Qi Yuan didn't respond, but he was quickly tagged.
After all, his dance skills were among the best in the entire team.
Qi Yuan said, "I was invited, but I didn't go."
"Why not go?"
Everyone else chid in. After all, the entertainnt industry is really lucrative.
It's no wonder everyone is trying their hardest to get in.
Fa and fortune are truly enticing.
And many idols have gone there. Maybe a coback could make one famous.
Qi Yuan remained silent; what he had achieved was beyond anything he had ever imagined.
But soon, a forr teammate got in touch, saying, "Lin is planning to go."
He just responded with an "Oh."
Lin had recently been to a nightclub to dance, performing those sexy, borderline dances quite well.
He was quite famous in the circle.
But if he went back,
That past little circle would beco his dark history.
The group initially wanted to gossip, but seeing his lack of interest, they shifted the conversation to other topics, even proposing a get-together for a barbecue.
Back when they were a group, there were so disagreents among the team mbers.
But as ti passed, everyone went their separate ways, and now they found themselves nostalgic for the old days.
