Chapter 264: Cannibal Theater (3)
The training room fell silent for a moment. Song Weiyang was the first to break it. "Time's pretty tight. Why don't we just give it a try?"
Shen Yu cleared his throat lightly and first gave a general rundown of the scenario's plot. "A human girl is alone in the forest, picking flowers, dancing, and combing her hair by the river. A male bear monster that has been tracking her carries her home and locks her in the kitchen. The bear originally planned to make the girl his food, but after her pleading and fawning, she isn't eaten and ultimately becomes a tool for the bear monster to vent his lust."
Ji Ning listened carefully and was the first to offer a suggestion. "Why don't we divide the entire scenario's content into several units based on progression, practice them separately by unit, and then combine them at the end?" Just like learning a new dance.
Her idea was approved by the two men. After discussing it, the three of them divided the entire play into three units.
The first unit ended right when the bear took the girl away and was mainly Ji Ning's solo performance.
Luckily, she had a bit of a dance foundation, was physically coordinated, and could adapt to the scenario's slightly exaggerated performance style.
After listening to Shen Yu explain the positioning and movement direction, Ji Ning changed into a cloth dress, picked up the flower basket prop, treated the empty physique room as a forest, lifted her skirt, and hopped forward through the fragrant wildflower thicket.
Shen Yu was like an instructor, silently correcting Ji Ning's mistakes. "The flower basket hangs in the crook of your left elbow... walk to the center and spin once, bend down to pick a flower and place it by your ear... your right ear."
Because Ji Ning said she wanted to practice solo first, Song Weiyang could only lean against the barre and appreciate her dancing for now.
On the surface, Song Weiyang's smiling face looked perfectly open and honest, but in truth, he didn't even know where to put his eyes. One moment he was looking at Ji Ning's face, the next at her figure, then his gaze would stick to the cleavage revealed when she bent over and couldn't come back down. His mind was full of lewd and filthy directions.
He couldn't help it; it had been far too long since he'd had her all to himself in an instance. This time, by a lucky coincidence, he got to play the bear. It was truly delightful.
Although, well, there was another man here, but it seemed like there wasn't a single spark between him and Ji Ning, and their appearances didn't match, so Song Weiyang didn't count Shen Yu as a factor.
The onlooker was in a very good mood, but Ji Ning, who was rehearsing, felt a bit of pressure.
Because just as Shen Yu said, the process sounded simple, but the movements were very detailed. It wasn't like traditional stage plays or other performances where the movements were broad, simple, and clean.
And it wasn't as aesthetically pleasing as a normal performance either. Ji Ning had to replicate the changing movements, pay attention to her direction without error while bending down to pick flowers, and also stick her butt out like a bitch and shake it toward the audience.
Right now, the ones in the audience position were Shen Yu and Song Weiyang.
If it were only Song Weiyang, Ji Ning wouldn't have a problem not just shaking her butt, but even shaking it completely naked.
But Shen Yu was there.
To guide her, he was also standing especially close, almost right behind Ji Ning, looking down at her from above.
Ji Ning could imagine how she looked right now, as if she were soliciting Teacher Shen...
Her face burned fiercely, and her heartbeat quickened. Trying to concentrate on memorizing and rehearsing became even more difficult, much more tiring than before.
When the "flower picking" segment ended, it was time for the scene where Ji Ning sat by the river and combed her hair.
She switched to sitting on the floor facing Shen Yu, untied her hair from its bun, let it loose, gathered it to one side, and combed through it with her fingers.
Ji Ning cautiously glanced at Shen Yu from the corner of her eye and found his gaze was calm like water, as if he hadn't seen her slutty performance at all.
She breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, but also felt a strange, inexplicable sense of loss?
"When you comb your hair, your hand needs to slant downwards, not upwards." Just as Ji Ning was spacing out, Shen Yu spoke up to guide her.
Downwards? How do you slant it downwards? Ji Ning couldn't wrap her head around it for a moment. Her hand took on an awkward, twisted posture, elbow inward, palm outward, fingers pointing down, combing her hair unnaturally.
She was twisted to this extent, and Shen Yu didn't know how to describe the correct posture either. He simply crouched down, took hold of her wrist to help her reposition it, switching to elbow outward, the back of her hand facing toward herself. Actually, it was just her first posture unchanged, only the direction of her fingers was switched.
An unexpected face-to-face closeness, an unexpected physical contact. Ji Ning had been looking at Shen Yu, but now she hurriedly averted her gaze, memorizing the hand gesture he taught her.
His palm was very large, and his fingers were very long. Her hand, caught in his grasp, seemed small and slender.
It wasn't quite a match, yet it made Ji Ning's heart feel slightly numb, as if she'd been shocked by electricity.
