Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 90

The program recording began, with Chi Qingche seated behind Li Chen and Huo Xuanye.

Why was Huo Zhenzhou here too??

Big brother, what’s the point of being so devoted now when your ex-fiancé is still around?

Li Su was the first to take the stage.

She wore a light cyan traditional-style dress, her cascading black hair tied only at the ends with a ribbon of the same color. The music was ethereal, the stage serene.

Her performance depicted a dancer practicing under the moonlight.

The doctor had said she needed eight months before she could dance again, but it had only been six.

Li Su’s dance moves weren’t particularly difficult, nor were they fast or expansive, yet they exuded an indescribable beauty.

Huo Xuanye stared intently at Li Su on stage, admiring her while his heart ached for her.

[Is that really Li Su? This is like the goddess of beauty descending!]

[No wonder she’s born for the stage, she’s stunning me to death.]

[This time, there’s no technique, just pure, raw beauty!]

[Don’t say there’s no technique, an average person couldn’t pull off this effect even if they tried.]

[Li Su’s leg isn’t fully healed yet, and she’s pushing herself so hard. Enough, my heart hurts for her!]

The director’s camera panned across the audience.

[Family and friends???]

[The mentors’ entourage outnumbers the contestants.]

[Happy birthday, Su Su!!!]

[Here we go, the familiar sight of the ex- fiancé and the current man sharing the frame.]

[Honestly, these two sitting together is a feast for my eyes.]

[If I were Li Su, I’d keep them both, sandwiches are my favorite!]

[I don’t get it (/ω＼)]

[You can have the brothers, I’ll take President Li!]

[Why are you all picking? This is a dance show, not a husband selection!]

After finishing her dance, Li Su stood under the spotlight. “Welcome to Dance Beyond Limits. I’m Li Su, one of the mentors. I hope everyone participating in this show gains something, improves, and most importantly, stays injury-free.”

The last line carried a bittersweet tone.

The audience erupted into thunderous applause.

Li Su gracefully exited the stage and took her seat.

Next was Zhao Bo, followed by Lin Yaoqing.

Lu Jun was the last to perform.

Once the mentors finished, it was time for the contestants to take the stage.

Modern variety shows were strange, back in the day, they featured complete unknowns, but now the contestants were mostly influencers, minor celebrities, agency-signed talents, or returnees from abroad, with only a tiny fraction being true amateurs.

The first contestant was a familiar face: Jian Jiaqing.

Li Su glanced at Lin Yaoqing.

Lin Yaoqing responded with a smile.

Li Su returned the smile.

Lin Yaoqing instantly felt a chill down her spine and hurriedly checked the contestant list.

Good grief!!

Someone from Li Zi Dance Studio was also participating.

No wonder Li Su had smiled like that earlier!

She’d underestimated her.

After Jian Jiaqing’s performance, Li Su gave her a B.

The other mentors all gave her an A.

Standing center stage, Jian Jiaqing wondered, was Li Su getting back at her?

“Based on what I know of your skills, you should be at an A level,” Li Su said into the microphone. “But tonight, you made a few mistakes that clearly fell short of your usual standard. So I’m giving you a B. I hope you can showcase your true abilities in the future.”

Jian Jiaqing met her gaze firmly. “I will.”

Her mistakes tonight had been minor, yet Li Su had caught them.

That meant Li Su had watched her performance closely.

During the break, Lin Yaoqing followed Li Su backstage.

“You’re not giving me any face. Aren’t you afraid that when your studio’s contestants debut later, I’ll give them Cs?”

“I know Jian Jiaqing used to be from your dance studio. She terminated her contract with you, and you’re angry. She’s somewhat famous and has fans. We both gave her an A, but you gave her a B. Aren’t you afraid of being criticized by her fans?”

“Li Su!”

Li Su was speechless.

This is the restroom!

She stepped out of the stall. “What does it have to do with you? She made mistakes tonight, and her performance wasn’t up to her usual standard. How you score is your business.”

Li Su washed her hands, dried them, then took out her phone and sent a message.

Lin Yaoqing’s phone buzzed.

Lin Yaoqing saw Li Su had forwarded a contact to her. “What’s this?”

Li Su replied, “A traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Go see them. I think you’ve been irritable lately, might be a hormonal imbalance.”

Lin Yaoqing snapped back angrily, “I’m not! I’m perfectly healthy. You’re the one with a hormonal imbalance!”

“Look at me, rosy complexion, glowing skin. My hormones are fine. Except when I was injured, my cycle has always been regular.”

Lin Yaoqing took a deep breath.

Then suddenly held it.

Damn it, this is the restroom.

Li Su left.

Lin Yaoqing clutched her phone, slowly turning to look at her reflection in the mirror.

Her recent irritability had nothing to do with hormones but rather…

Her family wanted her to enter an arranged marriage.

She didn’t want to.

The thought of it made her furious every day.

Her emotions were spilling over elsewhere.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Damn it!

Not calming down at all.

What kind of performance was that?!

FFFF!

After the break, Li Su felt like Lin Yaoqing had become a completely different person.

Under her scrutiny, not a single contestant received a B, all were C or lower.

Earlier, she’d accused Li Su of not giving face.

Now, Lin Yaoqing was ruthlessly critiquing everyone.

Two contestants were reduced to tears by her comments.

After the live broadcast ended, Li Su walked out backstage to find Huo Xuanye and Huo Zhenzhou standing together like runway models showing off their outfits and physiques.

What?

Peacocks strutting?

Do you realize you’re blocking the hallway?

Li Su walked over, grabbed Huo Xuanye, and pulled him along. “Let’s go eat. I’m starving.”

Huo Xuanye was secretly thrilled.

“You worked hard today. You looked amazing.”

At the restaurant, only the three of them were present.

As soon as the broadcast ended, Chi Qingche had texted her saying she’d gone home.

Her brother had left too.

So…

It was a bit awkward.

Why hadn’t Huo Zhenzhou left first?

Li Su ate while scrolling through her phone.

Tonight’s live show had spawned over a dozen trending topics.

She clicked on her own hashtag.

Huo Xuanye sat beside her, serving her dishes, ladling soup, practically ready to feed her bite by bite.

Huo Zhenzhou sat across from the couple. “Looking at your phone while eating is bad for your eyes.”

Both of them looked at him.

“If you’re sitting across from me, and I’m not looking at my phone, should I stare at you instead?” Li Su’s gaze was pointed. “You… move over there.”

Huo Xuanye looked confused. “Me? Me?”

“Fine!”

He got it.

No sitting next to his wife.

Huo Xuanye scooted over beside Huo Zhenzhou. “There, now look at me!”

Huo Zhenzhou: “…”

He shouldn’t have said anything.

He just wanted Li Su to finish quickly so she could go home and rest.

Li Su sipped her lamb soup leisurely, ignoring both of them.

She focused on the food.

“Bro, why did you have to say anything to her?” Huo Xuanye grumbled. “I didn’t even dare to!”

“I never tell her what to do, she can do whatever she wants! I’d even feed her if she let me!”

Huo Zhenzhou stayed silent.

He shouldn’t be here.

“Bro, I think you should learn from Susu,” Huo Xuanye suddenly remarked.

“Hmm?”

Li Su was also puzzled.

What was there to learn from her?

“The way to get over a breakup is to find the next one. With someone new, who cares about the old?” Huo Xuanye’s eyes crinkled with amusement. “A living example is right in front of you. After Susu married me, she completely forgot about you.”
