When the class was over, Xu Tingyu borrowed the changing room and bathroom here.
After taking a shower, changing clothes and coming out to dry her hair, Yan Zhou hadn't left yet. He was still practicing dancing.
She was just about to say hello when her phone rang.
"Mommy, Daddy said you'll come home for dinner tonight, right?"
Youyou's milky voice came from the other end of the phone, instantly dispelling all of Xu Tingyu's fatigue.
"Yes, wait for me for just an hour. I'll be there soon, okay?"
She spoke softly, full of more love than ever.
Yan Zhou was struck like by lightning.
They had known each other for so long, and he had never heard her speak in such a voice.
He had even heard her talk on the phone with her friends, and it wasn't like this either.
So gentle and full of love. It was obvious that the other person was someone she loved deeply.
She had left class early and tidied herself up just to go see him?
He didn't know how he walked towards Xu Tingyu.
When he came to his senses, he was already standing beside her.
"Tingyu, are you in a relationship?"
He asked the question in his heart deliberately casually but actually carefully.
Xu Tingyu had already hung up the phone and was drying her hair. Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment before answering, "No."
Where did he see that she was in a relationship?
Although Youyou was already over four years old, she had never been in a relationship.
Her marriage with Qi Shifeng was only full of torture, not love.
Hearing this answer, Yan Zhou let out a sigh of relief. Then he casually asked, "Then what type of person do you like?"
What type?
Xu Tingyu thought he was just gossiping with her out of tiredness from dancing.
So she didn't take it seriously. After a little thought, she started talking nonsense.
"I like someone who is sunny and cheerful, over 185 centimeters tall, with eight-pack abs, young and handsome, and only has eyes for me."
This was exactly the image of the popular male college athlete these days.
Qi Ruixi had been sending her messages and talking about it, and she could even recite it.
However, she had never been in a relationship. If she could date such a person, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
After all, one shouldn't treat oneself too badly.
She could talk nonsense like this with her best friend, but of course she couldn't with Yan Zhou.
But just that one sentence from her had already made Yan Zhou elated.
He was 189 centimeters tall, with eight-pack abs, young, and was also公认 to be handsome.
Most importantly, in the past few years, he had seen so many beautiful women in the entertainment industry, and there were those who threw themselves at him.
But all these years, he had only had eyes for her.
The only thing was the "sunny and cheerful" part.
He wasn't sure if he was sunny and cheerful. It seemed that no one had ever described him with this word.
While he was lowering his head in thought, Xu Tingyu had already dried her hair. She picked up her big bag and waved goodbye to him.
"I'm leaving. See you tomorrow."
After taking a shower, she only did simple skin care. Under the light of the dance studio, her skin looked even more delicate.
The blush after the hot water was the most natural and just-right blush, making her look nothing like a woman in her late twenties.
She just simply waved her hand, but it was like setting a little deer loose in Yan Zhou's heart, bumping around everywhere.
It wasn't until her figure completely disappeared that his teammate Jin Hui came in to look for Yan Zhou. Seeing his infatuated look, he couldn't help but punch him.
"Come on, could you please restrain this love-struck look of yours? If the company finds out, you'll be in big trouble."
Jin Hui had the best relationship with Yan Zhou and had only recently noticed his special feelings for Xu Tingyu.
When he first found out, he had also advised him a few times.
No matter how good-looking Xu Tingyu was, she was basically an outsider to the industry and was in business. The probability of her getting together with Yan Zhou was very low.
After all, the company wouldn't allow it, and his fans definitely wouldn't approve.
Moreover, Xu Tingyu herself seemed very sensible and wouldn't date an idol. It was very likely to attract the revenge of fanatics.
She loved her career so much that she wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
Yan Zhou was very pained after hearing this.
He had thought about all these things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have buried all his feelings in his heart and hesitated to take any action.
He had struggled, wavered, and even tried to distract himself.
After all, the company had also proposed arranging a CP for him to increase his popularity, but he had rejected it himself.
But none of these worked.
When he was the most tired and exhausted, he still liked to watch Xu Tingyu's dance videos to relieve stress.
Especially after he found out that she was going to stay in Kyoto for three months, every time he closed his eyes, his mind was full of her.
"Yan Zhou, you have the highest commercial value among us. The company won't give up on you, their cash cow."
Jin Hui sat down beside him and handed him a bottle of water.
Yan Zhou frowned but asked him a question, "Do you think I'm a sunny and cheerful person?"
Jin Hui almost spit out all the water he had just drunk.
"Come on, bro. Who told you that you have this kind of personality? Your personality has nothing to do with the word 'cheerful', right?"
When Yan Zhou first debuted, he was famous for his stinky face.
At first, many people attacked him for always looking grumpy, but later they found out that this was just his personality. He wasn't targeting anyone in particular; he was targeting everyone.
Once people accepted this setting, it was easier for them to accept him.
So usually, news like "Yan Zhou smiled" could even make it to the hot search.
He not only had a stinky face but also rarely smiled and didn't talk much.
Hearing such an evaluation, Yan Zhou's heart sank completely.
"I really advise you to give up. From my observation, Teacher Xu probably doesn't have any other feelings for you."
Jin Hui was still trying to persuade him.
It wasn't that dating was a bad thing, but it wouldn't work for Yan Zhou.
Because he had said that as long as he was in a relationship, he would make it public.
If he really did that, the hot search would definitely explode.
"Feelings can be cultivated. I didn't have any special feelings for her at first either."
Yan Zhou was stubborn.
Although his "no special feelings" didn't last long.
Almost the second time they met, he found that he had impure thoughts about this teacher.
Later, when Xu Tingyu was teaching dance moves and hugged a teammate's waist or smiled at a teammate a few more times, he would be extremely jealous.
The last time she directly sent someone to replace her, it disappointed him greatly. He even wrote a critical letter to Xu Tingyu himself.
But somehow, this letter didn't reach Xu Tingyu but ended up in the hands of the company.
Then the company stepped in and had a negotiation with Xu Tingyu's company. The incident caused quite a stir.
Yan Zhou had always wanted to find an opportunity to explain but had never found one.
"Come on, there are so many beautiful girls in our circle. Why do you have to like her? Yan Zhou, I'll be honest with you. I heard that she's been married."
Seeing how infatuated Yan Zhou was, Jin Hui gritted his teeth and finally told the truth.
Since he found out that Yan Zhou liked Xu Tingyu, he had paid more attention to her information.
And once he heard her say to someone in person that she had been married and then divorced.
