"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Panpan pinched the pair of pointe shoes that had completely separated from the shoelaces and were still full of threads, with a look of panic on her face.
"The nearest dance supplies store is far away from here, and it is not within the delivery range of errands. I'm afraid that even if we take a taxi back and forth, we may not be able to catch up with us... Even if we explain to the security personnel outside the door that the shoes are broken and need to be replaced with a new pair immediately,
I'm afraid it's too late." Zhong Buqun quickly glanced at the map on his mobile phone, "I have to use the stupidest method. You wait here for a while, I will go to the nearby dressing room and knock on the door one by one to see if there is anyone there.
The contestant is willing to lend you his dancing shoes."
Let’s solve the problem of getting on stage first. As for who made this shoe look like this, whether it was done intentionally, and what the motive is, we can only wait until the game is over and have enough time to go back and investigate.
After Zhong Buqun left the dressing room, Lu Panpan had no choice but to cheer up and use the stool in the dressing room to stretch his legs on the ground.
Three minutes passed and Zhong Buqun still didn't come back. Lu Panpan had no choice but to stop stretching her legs and stand in the middle of the dressing room swinging her waist;
Five minutes passed and Zhong Buqun still didn't come back. Lu Panpan held the dressing table and did big kicks and small jumps in front of the dressing mirror;
Fifteen minutes passed, and Lu Panpan was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely, but Zhong Buqun still didn't come back.
This weird competition system is really terrible. Why not let the contestants bring spare dance shoes...
Is it going well for him? Has he not borrowed it yet? Did the dancers make things difficult for him because they don’t know each other? Or they think we are competitors, so they refuse to borrow it?
In fact, Zhong Buqun is experiencing all of these situations.
"What size are my dancing shoes? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?"
"I paid a high price to customize this pair of shoes. I'm really sorry that I can't wear them if they are all the same size."
"Everyone comes out to compete, and each player in each group only has one pair of shoes. Even if I can find a way to exchange the shoes backstage after I lend them to you, then you can guarantee that you will have enough time to exchange shoes.
Will there be any accidents during the process? Even if you can guarantee it, I can't take the risk with such an important competition. Sorry."
... Some of the dancers in various dressing rooms were sarcastic, some were polite and reasonable, and some did indeed think that the shoes did not fit Lu Panpan's feet, but everyone's opinion was surprisingly unanimous - they would not borrow them.
No matter how humbly Zhong Buqun begged, no matter how he chose his words, and how he vowed to return it on time, all the players refused with indifference.
How could this be a good thing? Except for Misu, who couldn't lend them dance shoes, he had asked almost all the other participating dancers. If Panpan couldn't borrow pointe shoes...
She will definitely refuse to abstain. I'm afraid she can only participate in this game barefoot.
If you go barefoot, you will not be directly judged as a violation by the organizing committee, but other groups have set up pointe movements, and if their group does not do it, the technical score will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to get a ranking.
In a state of extreme anxiety, Zhong Buqun recalled those who had particularly bad attitudes among those who rejected him, and could even imagine the state of their hearts that was adding insult to injury.
The shoes are broken? It’s better if they are broken. Doesn’t this mean you lose a competitor? What fool would pick up the shoes for you at this time...
That’s all.
Even if they really think so, it's perfectly normal.
The competition in the Youth Cup is extremely cruel. Having a known bottom group can make other players feel more at ease.
...Only the last dressing room is left without a knock on the door.
Want to try again?
Zhong Buqun pushed open the last dressing room with a pale face.
The next second, a hint of joy finally appeared in his eyes.
"Zhong Buqun, it's you!" Bai Yilun saw Zhong Buqun's shadow in the makeup mirror, stood up, walked to him, and patted his shoulder, "I didn't expect that my student would have grown up after not seeing him for several years."
After learning so much, they have all come to the professional group of the Youth Cup."
Bai Yilun is one of the most outstanding principal dancers among the previous dancers of this city's dance troupe. He just graduated from the dance academy two years ago, but he has already studied hard during his schooling and tutored many art candidates in professional courses.
Therefore, nominally he is Zhong Buqun's "master", but in fact he is not much older than him.
Bai Yilun, who rushed to the stage because of his unhealed back injury and missed the Youth Cup school selection competition by one point, finally had no choice but to join the city dance troupe for experience. This year, he signed up for the professional group just to try to achieve national success.
Dance troupe’s dream.
"Teacher Bai!" Zhong Buqun was extremely happy.
First, he was happy for the reunion of master and apprentice, but also felt that he had finally met an acquaintance.
An acquaintance might be easier to talk to. As long as the shoes are of the right size, maybe Panpan can wear pointe on stage as originally planned!
"Teacher, can you please help me..." Zhong Buqun felt that it might not be appropriate to ask for help as soon as he met the teacher, but at this moment he had no choice but to speak out his needs.
After all, the game starts in ten minutes. This chapter has been completed!
