The Rebirth of a Diva
Episode 23
"Yes. You never make the wrong dance moves, and you can spur on the people around you. That's what it takes to be a good candidate for the group dance" Wei Shaoyin told him.
The question was finally answered. Xia Ling now knew why she had specifically chosen him. Other than him, all the other trainees had only danced for a few years, how could they approach him with 15 or more years of intensive practice in his previous life? Moreover, as a diva, she had faced all sorts of situations, including difficult ones; spurring them on was no big deal to her.
"As long as the MV itself, I'm focused on observing you specifically. Although you are not particularly spectacular, your improvement is very impressive – You seem to learn something new to improve yourself every day," Wei Shaoyin explained. "Others just think of this filmmaking process as a task, but you can pay attention to the learning points and experiences gained. You're a smart, hard-working dancer."
"… Thank you." Xia Ling did not know how to respond to her praise. He did not even gain experience, in fact, he was very careful in revealing his true abilities, so as to "improve" to his previous standards at a trustworthy level. Otherwise, it would be too excruciating for him to pretend not to dance well despite being outstanding.
"But this can't be all you have to offer to write my first single for me, right?" he asked . The entertainment industry is full of smart and diligent people, who go to great lengths to achieve their dreams. It is not easy for a person to be able to truly shine and thrive in their career.
“Of course, there's more,” Wei Shaoyin laughed easily. "What surprised me the most was when I heard you sing one day – you stood on the homepage and sang Xia Ling's song. Your voice is obviously not suitable to sing a song with that melody, but with the modifications you make you manage to sing it beautifully. The entertainment industry is indeed full of smart people, but few are truly thoughtful and creative. You have a very good understanding of yourself, and you are motivated and capable enough to overcome your shortcomings.This does not change, you will surely achieve great things. "
"So" Wei Shaoyin concluded. "To be able to write your first single doesn't lower my reputation in any way. Instead, being able to help take care of a rising star made me more than happy."
"Thank you very much for your help and looking for me. In that case, I'll do what you want and help in the recording studio." Since everything had been laid out, Xia Ling had no good reason to reject it. To be honest, she was very happy to know that Wei Shaoyin was willing to write her first single for her. At the very least he didn't have to worry about ending up with a song made by a third-rate producer. After all, nothing bothered him more than having to work with fools.
Autumn is approaching.
The trees outside started to fall and shake to the ground, and Xia Ling's condition also changed for the better. It's time he left.
The butler took her to the back garden to tell Li Lei about her disappearance. In that garden, hibiscus bloomed beautifully. He was a little surprised to see him cut a big bush – his skills are professional, his movements are relaxed. He thought to himself: this man is really good at everything.
The butler smiled at him. "Miss Ye, the hibiscus sent to your room last time was also personally trimmed by Young Master."
The housemaids were not very friendly towards Xia Ling at first, as in the case of hibiscus, no one had told her about this when she received the flowers. But ever since she had eaten with Li Lei and he was brought home by her, their attitude towards her had slightly improved.
Xia Ling was not bothered by such a change. The world is like that, people are like that, there are not many things there.
What bothered him was that Li Lei actually cut flowers for him personally. Does he have too much time or are there other motives? It's not that she's narcissistic, but it feels weird for someone who's this good for another dancer like her.

Li Lei put down the scissors in his hand and walked over. Her outfit for the day was a long-sleeved gray round collar, loose fitting and casual, bringing a homely feel. As she moved towards him, a thin line of her toned muscles under the cloth appeared, spreading an atmosphere of seductive yet menacing masculinity.
He stopped in front of Xia Ling and smiled lightly. "Will not stay another few days?"
"My health is recovering and the schedule in the training camp is very tight. I have to get back to training" he explained politely.
Li Lei paid him no heed, and instead encouraged him to sit on the deck chair at the side. "You can always choose not to go."
His brows twitched a little as if it was a hunch.
There were things that did not need to be said explicitly, but in this case, Xia Ling still did not understand what she was hearing. Oh, how wasted his life was twice.
Li Lei intended to provide for him as his own.
Li Lei intended to provide for him as his own.
This is not something new or unusual in the entertainment industry, nothing surprising. If not for Pei Ziheng's protection in his previous life, there would have been many people hiding designs on him. Come to think of it, wasn't she his mistress, even though she naively thought that she and Pei Ziheng were a couple?
The thought was somewhat stinging, and Xia Ling turned around to cover up her emotions.
Li Lei took a sweet moment to sip his tea, patiently waiting for his answer. She has elegance in the way she controls tension – easy, firm and even charming. He can't not think. For a man who has wealth, strength and status, and not to mention a handsome face, wouldn't he be able to have the beauty and beauty that he likes? Why would he only have eyes for someone who is usually as pleasant as him?
He's really confused.
"Why?" he asked, with a tongue slipping.
Li Lei looked at him, his smile disappearing in his dark green eyes. "As I said before, you are the type I like. And also, you are very pure, and you know how to behave in difficult situations."
Xia Ling's eyes hardened. Pure – she has already evaluated her body based on terms related to mistress. Maybe he even hired someone to do a background check on his love life. He feels insulted.
He suddenly stood up. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't know how to 'behave in difficult situations'. Boss, Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality all along. I'll leave tomorrow."

He didn't stop it.
In fact, when he left the next day, he got the butler to see him out.
The butler helped Xia Ling load the items, and even handed her a beautifully packed box. "Miss Ye, Young Master said he had dirtyed your phone for the last time, so he gifted you a new one. Please keep it well."
Only now did he remember that his phone was covered in blood last time after he lent it to him when he was injured. He was already unhappy with it at that time, who knew he had noticed it all along.
The only problem was that since he had ulterior motives with regards to him, his reward was not acceptable.
Xia Ling gently rejected the box. "I appreciate your Young Master's goodwill, but please keep it."
The butler seemed to have seen it coming as he handed it over once more. "Young Master said if Miss Ye won't receive a gift, then that means she isn't sincere enough yet. In that case, I have to bring a group of people with me to send this gift to the training camp "Miss Ye, please don't make things difficult for a servant like me."
