The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 452 The Legendary Woman
Wen Sheng had no recollection of the "Dancing with the Stars" program that Zeng Xiaoxian participated in during the original series, but he did know about it in the original world.

However, if even the original "A Date with Jade" in this world can have a shoddy production where guests are replaced, then this similarly modified "Dancing with the Stars"... can't be much better.

Otherwise, how could Zeng Xiaoxian have gotten on the show?
Although this preliminary round skipped the open auditions, the actual level of importance it received was still quite different from the program Wen Sheng knew about.

Of course, no matter what, this is a TV program, and it's still a very rare opportunity for Zeng Xiaoxian.

So even though the songs and dances he practiced during this time were somewhat abstract, he was still preparing seriously, and now they've been presented on the show.

When Zeng Xiaoxian, dressed like Elvis Presley, came on stage, Wen Sheng and Zhuge Dali cheered enthusiastically. Unfortunately, Zeng Xiaoxian's legs were shaking, and he didn't see the two people in the audience.

When Zeng Xiaoxian performed his ballroom dance, Wen Sheng and Zhuge Dali fell silent.

The "dance" in "Dancing with the Stars" is mainly ballroom dance, but everyone can make modifications and designs to the ballroom dance according to the style and form of the performance.

However, perhaps because Zeng Xiaoxian and his dance partner hadn't practiced enough, their coordination wasn't very good. Wen Sheng even saw Zeng Xiaoxian step on his partner's foot...

"Uncle, what do you think of Teacher Zeng's dancing?"

At this moment, Zhuge Dali couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Wen Sheng smiled and said, "It's alright, but it's very uncertain if I want to advance."

Zeng Xiaoxian isn't a professional, after all. Let alone dancing, he hardly exercises at all. He's just cramming for this, and he looks like he'll be eliminated in the first round.

Zhuge Dali nodded, looked around, and then shook her head, saying, "It seems like not many people support Teacher Zeng."

“His fan club isn’t that big,” Wen Sheng laughed. “And his true fans are probably watching TV right now.”

For example, everyone in the apartment is probably glued to the TV right now.

"But Zeng Xiaoxian will have something to talk about when he goes live tonight." Wen Sheng didn't even need to guess; Zeng Xiaoxian would definitely brag about his performance on the radio and then say that he narrowly lost and had to leave the show.

"I don't know how many people in the audience know Zeng Xiaoxian, or will listen to his show tonight."

Zeng Xiaoxian has a deep obsession with this kind of professional stage. He always thinks about continuing to advance, about improving his image, and about becoming a real star.

If he really had that ability, that would be great, but the fact is he doesn't. He might as well think about how to advertise, leave an impression on everyone, and then boost the radio program's listenership.

Although this might sound disrespectful to the stage and his dream of becoming a big star, it would maximize the benefits of this trip.

A few days ago, Wen Sheng heard Nuolan mention that she would be reducing the frequency of hosting "Your Moon, My Heart" soon, maybe only two days a week. After all, with her job change, she would be too busy to handle too many things at once.

When that time comes, Zeng Xiaoxian will return to hosting solo shows, and it is foreseeable that his career will be affected.

"Who said no one else knows Zeng Xiaoxian?"

Just then, a member of the audience in front of Zhuge Dali spoke up.

Wen Sheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw the woman wearing a gray beanie turn around and say with a smile, "I also listen to Zeng Xiaoxian's show, but now that there is a female host on his show, I don't like listening to it anymore."

"..."

Zhuge Dali turned to look at Wen Sheng. She also knew that the uncle's ex-wife, Aunt Nuolan, was hosting that program.

Wen Sheng didn't pay much attention to this. At this moment, he looked at the somewhat pretty woman in front of him without saying anything because he felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

Wen Sheng frowned. He was certain that he had never met the other person in real life, and the only way to have this feeling was that the other person had appeared in the original drama.

A new character?
Are you Zeng Xiaoxian's friends?

This woman, who is suspected to be a die-hard fan of Zeng Xiaoxian, has spoken up again.

"Yes, he's my neighbor." Wen Sheng nodded. This wasn't the first time he'd encountered this familiar situation, so he said directly, "Hello, my name is Wen Sheng, and you are?"

"Laura."

……

In the living room of Love Apartment 3601.

The remaining six people in the two suites sat around the sofa, with the TV in front of them broadcasting the "Dancing with the Stars" program live.

Watching Zeng Xiaoxian's performance on TV, Guan Gu Shenqi couldn't help but exclaim, "Si Guoyi, I didn't expect Teacher Zeng to perform so well!"

Anyway, Guan Gu didn't quite understand it either. He just felt that Zeng Xiaoxian was different from how he usually acted in front of them, like he was having an epileptic seizure, and he thought that was already very good.

Lu Ziqiao frowned and said, "Why do I feel like Teacher Zeng isn't on the same level as the other contestants?"

Tang Youyou nodded in agreement: "But it seems that Teacher Zeng's performance is still acceptable, at least much better than before."

After a pause, she smiled and said, "So it turns out that what Teacher Zeng said before, that he could only show his strength on stage, was true."

"Hmph, if this is how you become a big star, I think I can sign up and give it a try," Lu Ziqiao said, pursing his lips.

"Hmph, if you went up there, grabbed a leather whip, and gave the judges a couple of kisses, I'm sure you'd become famous too."

Hu Yifei glanced at him and snorted.

As soon as Hu Yifei finished speaking, the living room of 3601 fell silent, and Qin Yumo, who was eating ice cream, also stopped.

Everyone's attention shifted from the television to Lu Ziqiao, whose face was stiff, and to Zhang Wei.

"Um... I suddenly remembered I have a paper due. I'll go back to my room and look up some information." Zhang Wei, who was leaning against the sofa, straightened up and uttered these words before turning around and running into the study.

"Oh!"

Only after the door closed did everyone turn their attention away.

"Ziqiao, you're really something! To help Zhang Wei get over his heartbreak, you're actually willing to sacrifice yourself." Hu Yifei couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Nephew, if the family finds out you're engaged to a boy, won't the Lu family's cemetery explode?" Tang Youyou added seriously.

The living room was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Only Lu Ziqiao's face turned from yellow to green, and then from green to black.

"That was an accident! How much time has passed? Stop laughing..."

Lu Ziqiao's wailing did not stop everyone; on the contrary, it made the joyful atmosphere even more cheerful.

This incident dates back to a while ago when Lu Ziqiao was trying to pick up girls with Zhang Wei. Back then, because of Zhang Wei's stupid teammate, the two of them failed several times.

Then, after seeing Neo become famous for his design, Lu Ziqiao, who called himself the Satan of the fashion world, also designed a cool look for himself and Zhang Wei.

Later, in order to keep his dating life fresh, he took Zhang Wei and pretended to be an ABC (American-born Chinese) from abroad, and then naturally attended an engagement party.

As a result, they got too carried away and both drank heavily. Amidst the cheers of the crowd, they got engaged in a daze, witnessed by a pastor, and then... had a blackout. The funniest thing is that the whole thing was recorded on camera as a witness for the newlyweds. The next day, when the two of them, who had blacked out, played the recording in their apartment, Hu Yifei saw it... and then everyone in both suites watched it.

And then... this video became the second great record after Zeng Xiaoxian's brushing teeth dance in the living room.

Everyone laughed for quite a while, and things only calmed down a couple of days ago, but now Hu Yifei has brought it up again.

"Hey, do you guys think Teacher Zeng will make a comeback and advance later?"

As they laughed, someone finally remembered that everyone was still paying attention to Teacher Zeng's participation in the program.

Zeng Xiaoxian's segment was over, and after hearing the question, everyone was silent for a second before shaking their heads in unison.

"Hey, you guys don't think much of him?" Hu Yifei said unhappily.

Although she usually teases Zeng Xiaoxian the most, she is still the one who cares about Zeng Xiaoxian the most in this situation.

"It's not that I don't think it's good, but didn't you hear the judges' comments just now? They had plenty of enthusiasm, but lacked experience." Tang Youyou shrugged. "Teacher Zeng isn't a professional, the judges could tell at a glance."

Hearing this, Hu Yifei sighed and had no choice but to nod.

Then Tang Youyou sighed and said, "If Teacher Zeng can't seize the opportunity that Nuolan gave us, then I'm the only one left."

Upon hearing the name "Nuolan," Qin Yumo's expression shifted slightly, and the atmosphere in the living room also changed a little.

Guan Gu Shenqi glanced at Yu Mo, then turned to Tang Youyou and asked, "Youyou, what do you mean by 'opportunity'?"

"Wasn't it Nuolan who gave Teacher Zeng the opportunity to appear on 'Dancing with the Stars'?" Tang Youyou explained. "As for me, well, it's because I told you a few days ago that I got the lead role in 'Reversal Heroes'!"

As she continued, Tang Youyou's tone became increasingly cheerful: "I will definitely seize this opportunity, and my acting career will definitely take a new step forward!"

"Sigh! I don't even know how to thank Nuolan." Tang Youyou finally sighed, causing the others to steal glances at Qin Yumo's expression.

Hu Yifei quickly nudged her, and Tang Youyou, after a few seconds of hesitation, realized what was happening and quickly shut her mouth.

The atmosphere in the living room quieted down again, and everyone started watching the TV program obediently once more.

Qin Yumo, who was eating ice cream, bit the spoon in her mouth and suddenly felt that the ice cream didn't taste very sweet anymore.

The TV program continued, and after watching silently for a while, when Zeng Xiaoxian still hadn't appeared again, everyone was starting to feel the urge to speak.

Especially for Tang Youyou, being silenced was an extreme form of torture.

After a long silence, Tang Youyou, unable to hold back any longer, thought for a moment and said, "It's a pity the audience seats are too dark, otherwise we might have been able to see Teacher Wen!"

Tang Youyou sounded regretful, but then she quickly remembered something and asked, "By the way, didn't Teacher Wen have two tickets? Did he go to the event with someone else?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their gaze to Qin Yumo.

Qin Yumo, who was holding a spoon in her mouth, was stunned for a moment: "Why are you all looking at me? Aren't I sitting here?"

"Yes, why didn't you go with Teacher Wen?"

"I...didn't Wen Sheng call you?"

"We called, but we're going to give you the chance!"

"..."

Qin Yumo's expression was somewhat unnatural as she explained, "I thought I had to work overtime today, so I didn't agree to his request."

"Oh? What a waste! I should have agreed to go with Wen Sheng." Hu Yifei slapped her thigh in regret. She also wanted to go see Zeng Xiaoxian's performance live.

"Who did Wen Sang go with?" As soon as Guan Gu asked the question, the same answer immediately came to mind for everyone—Nuo Lan.

Now everyone was too afraid to speak.

Qin Yumo glanced at them and knew what they were thinking. She rolled her eyes and said, "He went with Zhuge Dali."

call!
A sigh of relief rang out in everyone's hearts.

"Look, Teacher Zeng has appeared!" Tang Youyou shouted, and everyone's attention immediately turned back to the TV. Even Zhang Wei, who had been hiding in his room, hurriedly ran out.

"Hiss~ Doesn't Teacher Zeng sound like he's giving a loser's speech?"

"Welcome to 'Your Moon, My Heart,' the best man is me, I am the best man, Zeng Xiaoxian hiccup—"

……

"The show's over, aren't you going to see Zeng Xiaoxian?"

At the invitation of Laura, Wen Sheng brought Zhuge Dali to sit for a while in a coffee shop outside the "Dancing with the Stars" program team.

"Never mind, Xiaoxian failed to advance, he must be in a bad mood. My presence in front of him will only make him feel worse," Laura said with a faint smile, stirring her coffee.

She had taken off her hat and let her long, wavy hair fall naturally down.

Looking at the legendary figure before him, Wen Sheng's face was full of interest.

In the original series, a world full of handsome men and beautiful women, Lara's looks may not be the most outstanding, but compared to other female characters, she has a unique charm with her fiery red lips.

After all, she was a top-tier sea queen who had tormented Zeng Xiaoxian for eight years. Compared to Lara, Lu Ziqiao's level was simply not up to par.

"Handsome, even though you're good-looking, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to just stare at me like that?" Laura picked up her coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile.

Wen Sheng looked away, picked up the sugar on the table and added two pieces to Zhuge Dali's coffee cup before smiling and saying, "Although I've never met you, I've heard of you. I just didn't expect to meet you here."

Laura nodded and smiled, "Did you hear that from Xiaoxian and the others? What did they hear about me?"

"I heard you are a special correspondent for National Geographic, a Pulitzer Prize winner, and an extraordinary woman who has left her mark in places like Africa, where disease and poverty rage, and the war-torn Middle East."

As soon as Wen Sheng finished speaking, Zhuge Dali, who had just taken a sip of coffee and was frowning from the bitterness, stopped what she was doing and looked up with surprise at the beautiful older sister... uh, auntie across from her who had a gentle smile.

Laura's gaze faltered slightly upon hearing Wen Sheng's words. She glanced down at the coffee in front of her before chuckling, "I thought you were going to say I'm a woman with many ex-husbands, ex-fiancés, and ex-boyfriends?"

Laura spoke casually, without any embarrassment on her face, as if she were saying, "I ate out yesterday, ordered several dishes, both meat and vegetables, and even opened a bottle of nice red wine."

Wen Sheng simply smiled upon hearing this: "When a shrapnel from a bomb whizzes past less than ten centimeters from the corner of your eye, who cares how many relationships they've had?"

He paused for a moment, then looked at the woman with bright red lips and wavy hair and smiled, “If you were to pass away, your obituary would only begin with your honors and career. As for your romantic relationships, they would only be mentioned briefly at the end, or perhaps not even mentioned at all.”

“So, that’s all I’ll ever hear about you, isn’t it?” Wen Sheng concluded.
