Chapter 766 - Yesterday’s Edit
Pan Tingmei and Lin Lin were sitting nonchalantly in the center. They were pleased that Yu Luoluo was surrounded by controversy and mockery.
After lunch, the trainees took a short break before going back for rehearsal, classes, and training.
Soon, Jack and the lecturer walked into the studio together.
When he saw Yu Luoluo, he turned away quickly without making eye contact. He had obviously heard about the rumors, and he was purposely trying to avoid Yu Luoluo.
Yu Luoluo had thought that, since they were innocent, their relationship could remain the same as it had been before. She wasn’t going to let the rumors get the better of her.
The way Jack was behaving now made Yu Luoluo even more frustrated. They were innocent victims. Jack made her look even worse acting this way. It was as if she had had designs on him all along.
Yu Luoluo was fed up and felt extremely frustrated!
Pan Tingmei was grinning. She was pleased that Jack wouldn’t even look Yu Luoluo in the eye now. It lifted her spirits.
That had been the ultimate goal when she had asked Lin Lin to spread the rumor. She wanted Yu Luoluo to be the target of mockery, she wanted everyone to despise her, and she wanted Jack to distance himself from her.
Yu Luoluo had not had many friends in the first place. Now, her reputation was ruined and she was going to be isolated even further. Pan Tingmei was looking forward to seeing how she was going to compete to be in first place now!
After one and a half hours of choreography class, their schedules were free. Jack instructed everyone to practice by themselves and revise for their next assessment.
After he debriefed everyone, he left the studio promptly. It was as if he was worried that Yu Luoluo was going to pounce on him if he stayed a minute longer.
Yu Luoluo was lost for words.
Did he have to act that way? What did she do wrong?
Pan Tingmei and Lin Lin smirked. “Yu Luoluo, it looks like Teacher Jack is trying to avoid you.”
Yu Luoluo was frustrated, but she couldn’t be bothered to get into a spat with the two girls. She would rather spend her time practicing than partake in such meaningless conversation.
Pan Tingmei and Lin Lin were visibly annoyed when Yu Luoluo walked away from them after rolling her eyes. They were annoyed that she chose not to retaliate against them.
“Tingmei, look at how rude she is. I don’t think she respects you at all!”
Lin Lin was putting all her effort into sowing discord between Pan Tingmei and Yu Luoluo. That was how bullying worked. In order to avoid being the one that was bullied, she had to butter up the stronger one. She had to follow behind the strong one and bully the weak one alongside her. It was the natural order of things.
Yu Luoluo didn’t wish to practice alongside these girls and so she went back to the dormitory by herself. She had booked the studio for practice later on in the evening anyway, and she would return when everyone had left. She could have the space to herself then.
When Pan Tingmei and the rest returned to the dormitory later that day, they bumped into Yu Luoluo again who was heading back to the studio.
When she saw that Yu Luoluo was all dressed up, Lin Lin quickly asked, “Yu Luoluo, where are you going?”
“The studio.”
Afterward, Yu Luoluo left without even turning back. She really hated being in the same room as Pan Tingmei and Lin Lin.
For their next assessment, Yu Luoluo had prepared a short excerpt from a classic film. She was confident about her acting, but she was not as good at choreography and form. It wasn’t one of her strengths, so she had no choice but to devote more time to practice in order to perfect her act.
When Yu Luoluo was focusing on her practice, the studio door opened and a man walked in quietly.
Yu Luoluo didn’t notice the man walking in. By the time she felt the presence of someone else, the man already had his arms around her.
“Ah!” Yu Luoluo screamed, and the man quickly covered her mouth with his big, sweaty hands.
