After Transmigrating as a Scum Omega, I Had a Happy Ending with My Ex-Wife [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 16

In the afternoon, in the Class B practice room, the trainee girls familiarized themselves with the movements from the morning breakdown over and over again, yet their gazes frequently flickered toward the door.

An hour passed, and the figure they were waiting for never showed up.

Li Han muttered under her breath, “She’s probably hiding somewhere slacking off.”

Meanwhile, in Fu Mo’s private practice room, Su Hua tirelessly repeated the breakdown movements. Only after seeing through the mirror that Lou Kexin’s movements behind her were up to standard did she move on to the next one.

Lou Kexin had never danced before. She had performed on stage once in kindergarten—the video still existed at home, showing her crying while dancing. Thinking about it now felt like a “social death.”

Lift the arm, bend the waist.

Tired. It was simply too exhausting. Lou Kexin blinked, shaking off the beads of sweat rolling from her forehead onto her eyelids.

She desperately wanted to rest, to just lie flat on the floor and do nothing.

But seeing Sister Su Hua repeat the movements over and over to teach her, she couldn’t bring herself to say she was tired. To let Sister Su Hua rest sooner, she concentrated with all her might, striving to get every movement right.

When one is so focused, they forget the fatigue and the need for rest.

“Let’s take a break,” Su Hua finished the sequence.

Lou Kexin held the pose for two seconds before all the pain and exhaustion came rushing back. Her legs gave way, and she sat down directly, eventually sprawling out on the floor in a “star” shape.

“Tired, aren’t you?” Su Hua had seen all her hard work. She grabbed a new bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to her. “Drink some water to hydrate first.”

At this moment, large patches of their practice uniforms were soaked through with sweat; their faces and necks were covered in it.

Lou Kexin struggled to sit up, raised her arm, and gulped down the water. When she lowered the bottle, more than half of it was empty.

“We’ll go eat once we’ve rested,” Su Hua said, also drinking more than half a bottle of water.

“Eh?” Lou Kexin lay back on the floor, her brain a bit sluggish.

“It’s dinner time. Aren’t you hungry?” Su Hua sat cross-legged beside her, smiling.

Only then did Lou Kexin feel the hunger in her stomach. A “grumble-grumble” sound emerged, reminding her that it was time to eat.

She clutched her stomach and laughed, “Now I know.”

Su Hua laughed, stood up, and reached out a hand. “Let’s go. Time for dinner.”

Lou Kexin took her hand and pulled herself up from the floor.

The two left the practice room and headed straight for the cafeteria. On the way, they encountered many trainees emerging from their own practice rooms.

By now, everyone had lost the vitality they had in the morning, dragging their exhausted bodies toward the food.

Li Han came out of her practice room, venting to her friend Lin Nan as they walked, “This dance is too hard to practice. I don’t know what that Su Hua is—”

Her friend Lin Nan hurriedly tugged at her clothes, winking to signal her.

Li Han didn’t catch the hint. “What are you doing? Is something wrong with your eyes?”

Lin Nan let go of her clothes and sighed.

A lazy, teasing voice drifted from beside them, “Were you talking about me?”

The hair on Li Han’s body stood on end, like a mouse seeing a cat. Her voice spiked in volume, “When did you get here? Do you walk without making a sound?”

Su Hua found her reaction amusing. “I’ve been here for a while. You were probably too focused to notice.”

Li Han looked at Lin Nan, who nodded and then shook her head.

Actually, they had just passed each other, but Li Han’s words had definitely been heard in full. Talking about someone behind their back and being caught by the person themselves—Li Han was so embarrassed her toes could have curled enough to excavate a luxury villa.

“Lin Nan, let’s go.” Li Han grabbed her friend and hurried past Su Hua.

Lou Kexin didn’t know Li Han, but the atmosphere just now made her feel like this person had some sort of grudge against Sister Su Hua. She asked curiously, “Sister Su Hua, was she bullying you?”

Su Hua tilted her head to look at her. “Why do you think I’d be bullied by her? Do I look that weak?”

“Hello, Teacher Fu.”

“Hello, Teacher Fu.”

Greetings from trainees came from behind. Su Hua turned at the sound and met the eyes of the woman walking toward them. She wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but she felt the other woman’s gaze sweep over her from head to toe before passing by their side.

“Wait…” Su Hua was a bit dazed. What did that look mean?

Then she recalled the sentence she had just said and immediately looked incredulous. “Was that look meant to say I am weak?”

“Sister Su Hua, what’s wrong?” Seeing her looking so defeated, Lou Kexin looked at her in confusion.

Su Hua covered her face with her hand, not wanting to speak for a moment, yet wanting to laugh at the same time.

Was this “Little Square” taking revenge? Was it for the “green hat” the original owner gave her, or because she teased her as a “little spinning top” in the cafeteria at noon?

Su Hua laughed, having inexplicably discovered a hidden personality trait of a certain Film Queen.

“Sister Su Hua, what is actually going on with you?” Lou Kexin looked at her, finding her behavior bizarre.

Su Hua, having gathered her emotions, shook her head. “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”

“Oh.” Seeing that she wouldn’t say, Lou Kexin didn’t ask further.

Upon entering the cafeteria, Su Hua reflexively scanned the room. Once she spotted the person she wanted to see, she withdrew her gaze. This time there were plenty of empty seats, so she didn’t go to Fu Mo’s table again.

Besides, seeing Cui Manxuan sitting opposite Fu Mo, she assumed they were discussing business and decided not to intrude.

Cui Manxuan found it peculiar; she had been staring at the face of the person opposite her for a long time.

Fu Mo acted as if she didn’t feel the scrutinizing gaze, calmly taking a bite of rice followed by a bite of vegetables.

Cui Manxuan leaned forward, full of curiosity. “Why do I feel like you’re happy?”

Fu Mo’s eating motion paused as she raised her eyes to look at her.

Cui Manxuan rested her chin on her hand, gesturing toward her own face. “I feel like the corner of your mouth is turned up just a tiny bit.”

Fu Mo lowered her gaze and continued her meal. “You’re seeing things.”

“Am I?” Cui Manxuan also wondered if she had misperceived it. After all, from the time she met this person until now, she had never seen her smile. Unless a scene required it, she kept a stone face at all times. She truly wondered if this woman’s life was too monotonous.

When she heard Fu Mo was getting married, she felt a mix of surprise and relief, thinking someone had finally come to warm up this piece of wood.

Looking back now, it wasn’t a warming—it was a heartbreak.

From the initial evaluation until now, Cui Manxuan finally had a moment to breathe. She sat in a relaxed posture and asked casually, “You don’t have any other schedules lately, right?”

“Mhm. Resting.”

“So you’re staying here at night?” Cui Manxuan remembered something and looked at her.

“It’s convenient.”

Cui Manxuan was choked by the answer, not knowing how to respond. If anyone else answered like that, it would definitely be a perfunctory attempt to end the conversation, but if Fu Mo said it, she genuinely thought staying here was convenient.

“That person’s evaluation was really spot on. You really are a ‘little spinning top’.”

Fu Mo frowned at her.

Cui Manxuan: “…” She raised her hands in surrender. “Fine, fine, my fault. I shouldn’t have said that.”

However, after two minutes, Cui Manxuan said curiously, “Give me a hint—who is it? Who has such big guts?”

“Hello, Teacher Fu. Hello, Teacher Manxuan.”

A clear voice rang in their ears. Cui Manxuan looked over and blinked in slight surprise. “Su Hua?” Facing the other’s gaze, she gathered her emotions, cleared her throat, sat up a little straighter, and asked, “Is something the matter?”

“Yes,” Su Hua nodded, her eyes fixed on the woman eating beside her.

Cui Manxuan followed her gaze, blinked twice, and then her pupils dilated. She looked at Su Hua, blurting out a sentence before she even had time to think:

“You’re already divorced. What are you looking for her for?”

The two divorced parties looked at her. Although they had no expressions, Cui Manxuan felt they were definitely judging her.

This really is a case of ‘bringing up the one thing that shouldn’t be mentioned,’ on par with Lou Kexin bringing up ‘influencers,’ Su Hua thought to herself.
