The singing and dancing actress starts by transmigrating into a trainee.

The next day, Songyue took the camera she had borrowed from the production team and began practicing.

Practice once, then watch your movements through the camera to make it easier to correct them.

Actually, correcting her movements is secondary; the most important thing for her is to practice managing her facial expressions.

For girl groups, hard skills like singing and dancing are important, but soft skills like facial expression management are also indispensable.

The reason why Coach Lou attracted attention even before she made a move was all thanks to her impeccable facial expression management.

In the morning, she was correcting her movements, and in the afternoon, she focused on practicing her facial expressions.

When she watched her complete song and dance performance for the first time, she realized that what she thought was a pretty good performance actually showed a stiff expression and even a sense of panic.

Regardless of what she was thinking at the time, she exuded a sense of panic.

Wen Xinyu wiped the sweat from her face and saw Song Yue watching with a camera, so she couldn't help but come closer.

"What are you looking at?"

Songyue pointed to herself above.

"Look, don't you feel a sense of panic?"

Wen Xinyu leaned closer to take a closer look, and after reading it all the way through, she couldn't help but nod.

"Actually, your dancing isn't a big problem. Your facial expressions are indeed problematic, but the main issue is the disconnect between your dancing and your singing."

It's like a choppy video; the sound is loud, but the video keeps buffering and spinning.

Songyue rubbed her face, trying her best to put on a happy expression.

Watching Song Yue practice relentlessly, Wen Xinyu noticed that what was most striking about her wasn't her focus and effort, but rather the fact that she made progress every time.

Compared to her expression during the first attempt that afternoon, which already showed a sense of ease and familiarity, she was practically a completely different person.

That's the scariest thing: she knows her mistakes and always moves in the right direction.

This is a combination of talent and hard work, along with a clear understanding of oneself.

Wen Xinyu couldn't help but be shocked. Was this really a newcomer? If a few more newcomers like this came along, they would really be left with no way to survive.

She practiced until night, and despite being physically exhausted and trying her best to make the facial expressions look as close as possible, Songyue still felt something was wrong.

If there was anything wrong, she compared it with Professor Lou's video and then with the video she had just filmed.

That is, it's not that her dance moves are not standard, but from the first glance, her eyes will involuntarily look towards Coach Lou.

At this moment, Wen Xinyu suddenly spoke up from behind, her voice echoing through the practice room.

“Songyue, I actually feel like you’re wearing a mask on your face.”

Although I don't know what you've been through, your expression doesn't seem to reflect your true feelings.

This is so different from your first stage performance. Perhaps you could think back to how you felt during your first stage performance.

Wen Xinyu's words left Song Yue speechless and stunned.

Are you wearing a mask?

Upon closer inspection, it does seem to be true.

In the past, she would always hide her true thoughts from her parents and pretend to be a good girl they liked.

So even if she had any thoughts, she always pretended to be very good at it.

For over a decade, it had almost become a habit to reflexively hide her true thoughts, which is perhaps why she couldn't express them honestly.

Suddenly, Songyue burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the empty practice room. The laughter wasn't pleasant to hear, and even sounded somewhat erratic.

But Wen Xinyu looked at Song Yue intently, a smile playing on her lips.

“This is even better than your performance just now. I can feel that you want to laugh now, and I can’t help but want to laugh too.”

Song Yue opened her eyes wide and excitedly turned to thank Wen Xinyu.

"Thank you, Sister Xinyu, I think I understand now."

Looking at Song Yue's bright eyes, which were brimming with excitement, Wen Xinyu's smile widened.

"You're welcome. I'm happy to help you."

With a 'click', it turned out that Song Yue had taken a picture of Wen Xinyu with her camera.

"Sister Xinyu, you look so beautiful when you smile. You should smile more often."

Wen Xinyu's smile suddenly froze.

"Am I good-looking? I'm just an ordinary person with average features and a somewhat bitter look. The only advantage I've had in persevering until now is probably my ability to endure hardship."

Songyue took out her camera and placed it in front of her.

"Sister Xinyu, why don't you believe in your own beauty? You have fair skin, harmonious features, and you are even more charming when you smile. You should smile more often with such a bright smile."

Wen Xinyu looked at the girl in the camera, her eyes crinkling with smiles, full of tenderness, without a trace of her previous bitterness, and the whole photo seemed brighter.

Is this her? Is this really her? Could this really be her?

Three questions immediately came to Wen Xinyu's mind.

But looking at that familiar face, she felt both familiar and strange, and her fingertips couldn't help but rub against the screen.

Songyue also asked in confusion.

"Sister Xinyu, actually I was wondering from the beginning why you look so beautiful when you smile, but you don't like to smile. I thought it was just your persona and you were too embarrassed to say it."

Why doesn't she like to smile? Perhaps it's because she liked to smile when she was young, but people told her to her face that her smile was ugly, and then people around her said that if she was ugly, she shouldn't smile anymore, otherwise it would be considered that ugly people are just being pretentious. Gradually, she smiled even less.

Wen Xinyu felt a sudden sense of relief, her eyes brightened, and she smiled with a fresh and radiant smile.

"Matsuzuki, thank you. Participating in this program was the best decision I ever made."

I have already gained the most, and even if I am eliminated, I will have no regrets.

But Songyue couldn't help but say it.

"Sister Xinyu, our goal is to debut, how can you say such discouraging things?"

As she spoke, she extended her right hand, and Wen Xinyu also extended her hand and shook it tightly with hers.

"Yes, we can't be so discouraged, let's keep pushing forward."

Even though she knew she was likely to be eliminated in the first or second round, since she didn't have any special characteristics, she couldn't bear to discourage Songyue.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

A hidden camera in the corner was quietly recording the scene before them.

Then the two began practicing without disturbing each other. Songyue laughed when she wanted to laugh and cried when she wanted to cry in front of the mirror, no longer hiding her feelings.

Meanwhile, Wen Xinyu was practicing singing and dancing with a smile, feeling full of energy.

The two practiced until almost three o'clock before going back, but because they both felt they had solved a major problem, they didn't feel tired at all; instead, they felt excited.

If their bodies allowed it, they would have liked to continue training.

When they got back to the dorm, this time no one was talking, except that Zhao Yixin's voice kept getting louder and louder.

The two exchanged a glance, said nothing, and quickly washed up before going to rest.

The dormitory returned to calm in an instant.
