VOL.02

Ah! That... that is a dance machine! It is something that middle school students enjoy playing with nowadays. I quickly smiled and changed the subject, scratching my head in embarrassment, "However... I am not very good at this, hehe..."

I immediately sprang up like a spring, while Jin Yingming on the opposite side lowered his head, making it difficult to discern his expression

Hmm. Jin Yingming nodded, and his expression suddenly became a bit desolate

"It's so noisy, don't follow me!" Jin Yingming shot a cold glance at the man, his eyes suddenly turning sharp

Wow, impressive, young handsome man

I hesitantly chose a dance track with a relatively slow rhythm, the sound shaking desperately like a cassette recorder.

Oh? A pair? I blinked and took a look, and indeed! Both bear cubs had a half-heart iron tag hanging around their necks. The bear cub in my arms had the words "First Sight" written on it, while the tag on the other one said "Infatuation"

I ... ? ... Am I seeing things ! ? Jin Yingming has made a doll ! And it is exactly the bear baby that I absolutely love !

I opened my mouth wide in surprise as I watched the bear cub fall from the shelf. In disbelief, I reached out and took it out of the machine, almost ready to scream out loud, and couldn't help but embrace Jin Yingming tightly.

I steeled myself and pressed the "start" button. I began to awkwardly wave my hands and move my feet to the rhythm of the music

I have seen others play a few times; if it is just to demonstrate the gameplay... it should not be a problem, right

Knock knock! Clap clap!

... ...

What did he say? Did he say that I don't like him not dancing? Is this really Jin Yingming? Is it really him? ... He would care about my feelings and would refrain from playing the dance machine because I don't like it

A crisp sound startled my heart, making it leap in my chest! I looked nervously at Jin Yingming, who was vigorously clapping beside me, and I was taken aback! I never expected the elegant Prince Hayakawa to have such a fierce side!

Look! There is a super handsome guy over there playing the dance machine

Ah, this is called the 'Lucky Wheel'... as long as you press this button, if the cumulative total of the numbers pointed to by the arrow reaches 5 within four tries, you can take the selected doll home. I said, suddenly feeling a bit shy, I stuck out my tongue, 'A long time ago, I came here to play with my brother, and I really wanted that bear baby, but we spent an entire pack of game coins and still couldn't get it. My brother said this machine is a money trap. Hehe...

I was taken aback, yet I was infected by his rare childlike spirit, so I hurried to the counter to buy game tokens and ran to the side of the dance machine. I discovered that Jin Yingming was already standing on the dance machine, while the boy next to him, who had been frozen by his "cold gaze," was looking at me with a displeased expression.

An awkward silence

Rumbling! Rumbling!

The crowd erupted in a burst of laughter, and I felt as if my ears were about to burn red

Nervously watching Jin Yingming, who had remained expressionless since I came out of the fitting room, I let out a gentle sigh of relief upon receiving a positive answer

Heavens! Is it really his first time playing the dance machine? Why does he hit every note perfectly, without any of the clumsiness typical of a beginner, and his coordination with the music is seamless!

Yoho! So handsome!

You don't like it, so you won't jump anymore! Ignoring the crowd's loud calls for an encore, Jin Yingming pulled me through the crowd, "breaking through the encirclement".

Well ... ... ah ... ... are you not going to jump anymore

Take that again. They are a pair

Jin Yingming hesitated as he looked at me, reluctantly standing up from the stool

Do you like it? Finally, Jin Yingming raised his head and gently patted the bear cub's head

Are you alright? Jin Yingming looked at me with concern

Snap! Snap!

What is this?" Jin Yingming stopped in front of the lucky wheel machine and pointed at the doll in the glass window

Jin Yingming glanced down at the colorful promotional flyer but did not stop walking

Seeing the people surrounding me in three layers inside and three layers outside, my two feet trembled as if they were not my own, and my heart suddenly leaped to my throat

Bang

... ...

"No... it's nothing... hehehe..." I shook my head with a silly smile.

It is unclear who shouted, but under the call of "Prince Radiance" by Jin Yingming, the men and women in the amusement park gathered around the dance machine.

Try it out

Jin Yingming did not speak, he put his hands into his pants pockets and stepped down from the dance machine: "Let's go"

What a cool handsome guy! He must be an expert! Go take a look!

The lights in the lucky wheel machine suddenly lit up, startling me, and I quickly shifted my attention to the glass window of the wheel machine

"Jin Yingming, you... you see, this is how you clap your hands, and then this is how you step... ah!" "Hmm." Jin Yingming nodded seriously, glanced at the screen and then at me, thought for a moment and said, "Let's begin"

Jin Yingming seemed not to have heard my explanation, yet he also appeared to be encouraged, turning his head to point at another bear cub in the second row, then glancing back at the bear cub in my arms

As the song concluded, Jin Yingming's score exceeded the threshold, successfully passing the test. As for me... Ugh, it goes without saying that I was desperately flashing the two large characters "failure".

As long as you participate in our selection competition and become the most dazzling 'Star of Tomorrow', you can embark on the brilliance of your life!" The man continued to relentlessly pursue Jin Yingming's footsteps, "For example, the champion of the last session—Sun, was discovered and recommended by me on the streets! His current entertainment career can be said to be flourishing and at its peak...

Just as I was still savoring the happiness brought by Jin Yingming's words, the curious little one seemed to have discovered the next target

The text provided does not contain any translatable content.

The onlookers around came to their senses, cheering and whistling at Jin Yingming. Jin Yingming seemed to be oblivious to their voices, dancing on the machine with his hands and feet, even the occasional casual toss of his head was fluid and graceful

Hahaha! This girl is so clumsy! She actually stepped on her own foot! Hahaha!

I drift... I drift. Completely immersed in the fairy tale world woven by myself, surrounded by a thin mist, blissfully dizzy... blissful...

Woe is me! ... The most unfortunate thing is that just as the performance was ending, I stepped on my own foot...

Is this it! Is this it! To dance to such a low-difficulty dance track like this, how can one even have the audacity to teach others? It is truly laughable!

The captivating dance moves of Jin Yingming and his gentle gaze replay in my mind, and suddenly, a sweet sensation begins to surge within me, making even the laughter from those around me seem to vanish without a trace

Please allow me to introduce myself! A man with a beaming smile walked up to Jin Yingming, enthusiastically handed over a flyer, and immediately began to introduce himself fluently, "I am from the most popular television program in the country - the 'Star of Tomorrow' selection competition..."

It was not until the sound grew louder, becoming impossible to ignore, that I was pulled out of my reverie. ... Ugh ...! ... When did we arrive at the amusement park?! The amusement park was filled with fashionably dressed boys and girls, and the pulsating music struck at the heart with every beat! I hurriedly followed Jin Yingming, only to find him standing in front of the dance machine, his eyes shining with excitement!

I... I like... I hid my nearly flushed face behind the teddy bear, nodding vigorously, "I... I... it wasn't intentional just now..."

Hey! That charming young man with a personality! After we had walked quite a distance, that man was still behind us, waving and shouting, "You have to believe me! You can definitely do it! Don't forget our motto - 'Stars of Tomorrow, Dreams Begin'!

Oh... how unfortunate, it seems I asked the wrong question... Ma Qiuxiu, why are you so foolish? Jin Yingming is the eldest son of the Jin family, and he usually frequents high-end entertainment venues. It is not surprising that he is visiting a more common place for the first time!

"Let us give it a try." Jin Yingming raised an eyebrow, rolled up his sleeves, and sat down on the wooden chair in front of the machine, looking at me with an expression of anticipation. Seeing him in a way that was somewhat different from usual left me a bit taken aback

Hmm, wait! What am I doing? It was only when I noticed the jealous gazes around me that I suddenly realized—I seem to have embraced Jin Yingming, and it was in a public place!

After a flash of lights, a man in a black tuxedo suddenly emerged from the crowd, standing in front of us. He had a dazzling red sash draped across his body, which made him appear quite peculiar

However, good fortune is indeed not a common occurrence. The bear cub, adorned with a sign reading "Infatuation," seems as if it is nailed to the shelf, watching as two bags of game tokens are consumed, yet it stubbornly refuses to come out!

Insert coin! Look, I have no reaction. Jin Yingming has already taken four game tokens from my hand and stuffed them in, and he pulled me to sit beside him

I smiled awkwardly and inserted the game coin into the arcade machine

This looks good

Gold, gold, gold, gold, it has begun...

Jin Yingming looked around and suddenly pointed to the seat next to him, saying, "Show me how it's done."

A hint of embarrassment swept across the man's face, and he immediately turned to the side and shoved a flyer into my hand. I looked down and saw a large slogan written on the cover of the peach-colored flyer— "Tomorrow's Stars, Dreams Begin."

Jin Yingming raised his eyebrows, turned to look at the dance machine, and then glanced at me

Is this your first time at the amusement park

I turned back awkwardly to glance at the man who was startled by Jin Yingming's gaze, and I saw him with his mouth wide open, staring blankly at Jin Yingming's back

Looking at the attention-grabbing Jin Yingming before me, his breath is right next to my ear, yet I can't help but feel a sense of unreality...

He has already passed the test, so why isn't he continuing to jump? I looked at him in confusion

This simple white casual outfit, with silver patterns at the cuffs and golden casual shoes on the feet, looks like a couple's outfit alongside Jin Yingming's attire. For some reason, the thought of this suddenly made my face turn as red as a tomato

"Demonstrate... demonstrate? Do you want me to demonstrate?" I fearfully pointed at my own nose and shook my head vigorously, regretting that I hadn't said "I am not good at this" a bit louder just now. However, in the end, under the insistence of Jin Yingming's gaze, I finally stood next to Jin Yingming...

That... Jin Yingming pointed to the dancing machine where two boys were twisting and dancing, turned to look at me, and asked, "What is it?"

The powerful music continued to play, and the dance steps seemed to become more complex! ... I began to feel flustered, but I stole a glance at Jin Yingming beside me

Alas! Forget it, let me just jump, no matter what, I should be a bit better than Jin Yingming when he first played the dance machine

Jin Yingming ... ... Jin Yingming ... ... Seeing Jin Yingming's slightly flushed face due to his frustration, I gently tugged at his sleeve, "Let's forget it ... ... we can come back to shoot it next time ... ... "

Hey, wait a moment, you handsome guy up front

Jin Yingming ignored the desperate shouts of the man behind him, turned around, and embraced me as he entered a clothing store
