Chapter 54: Chi Mo 8

Compared to other girls, Tan You appeared particularly unrefined. After washing up, she only performed the most basic skincare routine. Because she had a shoot scheduled for the evening, she had rarely applied even light makeup, yet even this felt like a chore to her.

In her memory, Chi Mo would sit in front of the mirror for hours, just smearing and applying various products to her face. Tan You couldn't understand it, but she expressed her respect.

Around six o'clock, Tan You got up punctually. Chi Mo was a dancer and practiced in the dance studio almost every day. Since Tan You wanted to continue Chi Mo's career, there was absolutely no room for error regarding her dancing.

Ten minutes later, wrapped in a down jacket, Tan You headed to the fifth-floor gym. She had asked the hotel front desk yesterday; the gym contained a dance studio where she could practice her fundamentals.

The hotel was very quiet in the early morning, and it was still pitch black outside. Tan You found the gym easily. The place was empty, and rather than looking at the fitness equipment, she headed straight for the dance studio.

After practicing her fundamentals twice to thoroughly warm up her body, Tan You finally turned on her phone. Soon, soothing music echoed through the studio, and Tan You practiced her choreographed dance to the accompaniment.

Her movements gradually shifted from awkward to fluid and graceful, showing clear progress. It wasn't until her alarm rang that she was jolted out of this rare state of flow.

Tan You felt a hint of regret; this kind of state was difficult to achieve. Unfortunately, she was in a rush today, and she didn't know when she would be able to reach such a state again.

Putting her phone away and pulling her thick down jacket back on, Tan You hurried out of the gym. She wasn't one to like troubling others, nor did she like making people wait for her. Once she returned and finished washing up, she should be ready to depart.

She had mostly finished packing her luggage last night... With these thoughts in mind, Tan You quickened her pace.

"Mo Mo, you're up so early? Why are you sweating so much?" Just as Tan You was about to enter her room, the door next to hers opened, revealing Zhou Wenwen.

Tan You smiled. "I was just practicing in the dance studio. I have to do it every day."

Zhou Wenwen sighed in admiration. "You're amazing! Hurry and go wash up so you don't catch a cold."

"Okay, let's talk later." Tan You gave Zhou Wenwen an apologetic smile and gently closed her door.

At eight o'clock, all the guests gathered at the airport. The cameras followed everyone constantly, and there were far too many eyes watching them. Tan You knew these shots would likely be used for behind-the-scenes footage rather than the main program.

Since they wanted to film, she didn't take it to heart. However, she didn't notice that her personal cameraman was almost inseparable from her, seizing every opportunity to take close-up shots of her face.

Yet, even with such close and clear shots, one could find almost no flaws on Chi Mo's face. This only made the cameraman happier; he was eager to keep following Tan You.

Now, everyone in the production crew envied him and Chi Mo's director. Who could blame them for being specifically responsible for Chi Mo?

"This face is truly flawless from 360 degrees. She is just too beautiful."

"The key is that she isn't even wearing makeup. It's a pure, natural face—definitely a natural beauty."

The female director tossed her hair. "I noticed it long ago. As expected, beauties come from ordinary people. She's truly stunning. Looking at a face like that, if I were to get angry with her, I'd want to slap myself."

At this moment, they were in the waiting lounge. Naturally, the female guests were in one camp, the male guests in another, and the behind-the-scenes staff in a third. Tan You sat next to Zhou Wenwen, and the two of them chatted in low voices from time to time.

Gao Jing asked, "You're too serious. Going to practice so early in the morning?"

Tan You replied, "It's like this every day. I've been choreographing a new dance lately. When it's performed, I'll get you guys front-row tickets."

Gao Jing said, "That would be wonderful. You have no idea how much I envy dancers; they are truly beautiful."

Tan You said bashfully, "I only do classical dance. I studied other styles as an amateur, but I'm not proficient."

Lin Meng grew interested. "I saw a movie once, mostly about Flying Apsaras. Mo Mo, can you dance that? I heard our trip will take us to the desert. Just imagine a beauty dancing in the vast desert—how stunning would that look on film?"

Tan You thought about it. "I know a bit. If you want to see it later, I'll dance for you. I'll also re-choreograph the dance."

Tan You didn't feel this was showing off; since she had joined the show, she should showcase herself.

The director's ears were perked up at all times. "When we go to the desert for filming, I will definitely prepare costumes and props for Chi Mo. She will absolutely stun the audience."

Tan You waved her hand. "That's not necessary, really not necessary."

She only had a beauty score of ninety; how could she "stun the audience"? Speaking of which, how beautiful would a perfect score be? Tan You felt a sense of anticipation, but she didn't want to max out her beauty score just yet.

If the original owner's evaluation was also factored in, then the use of beauty points was something to be debated. She couldn't give them away so easily, otherwise, she would seem too generous.

As everyone chatted quietly, Zhou Wenwen glanced outside the waiting lounge and suddenly smiled. "Almost everyone passing by here turns back for a look. Even though Mo Mo is only showing her chin, this beauty is simply unstoppable."

Lin Meng teased, "A beauty is beautiful down to a single strand of hair; how could a hat possibly hide it?"

Tan You offered a sincere compliment. "Everyone is beautiful. And people aren't necessarily looking at me; you all are very pretty too."

Zhou Wenwen joked, "If it weren't for all these cameras next to us, I bet many people would be trying to strike up a conversation with Mo Mo. Don't you think the production crew is trying to nip your romantic prospects in the bud?"

Tan You knew she was teasing. "They're also nipping yours in the bud. You have no idea how charming your intellectual aura is; I absolutely love it."

She truly admired girls like Zhou Wenwen—intellectual, elegant, and poised, clearly well-educated.

"Sister Gao Jing is also very outgoing and humorous, and Sister Lin Meng is very beautiful, a typical 'big sister' type. Everyone is so beautiful." Tan You rarely spoke, but her tone was always sincere; clearly, these were her true feelings.

Gao Jing squeezed Tan You's hand. "My only regret is that I'm not a man. Otherwise, I would definitely hide someone like you at home and not let anyone see you. So beautiful, so sincere, and so good at giving compliments—how could I not smile every day being around you?"

Tan You just smiled. She was clearly more relaxed around the female guests, and her smile was much more radiant, unlike yesterday when the male guests were present.

While the female guests chatted softly, the male guests played on their phones individually. Xu Jike toyed with his phone, but his ears were constantly listening to the movement from the female guests' side, and his eyes drifted toward Chi Mo from time to time.

Unfortunately, Zhou Wenwen and Gao Jing were sitting on either side of her. Aside from seeing a small part of her profile, he couldn't see anything else. Xu Jike lowered his eyes, feeling that the female guests were truly an eyesore.
