Although Han Jin came in first place in the singing subject test, he did not let his guard down at all. After celebrating with everyone, he immediately began preparing for the next day's dance class.

The dance taught in the acting training program was ballroom dancing.

Hong Kong is a bustling international metropolis, and celebrities often have to attend various parties, inevitably encountering situations where they need to dance.

If they don't know how to dance or make mistakes, it would be quite impolite. Therefore, the training program set up a dance class and hired dance instructors to teach the students.

Additionally, learning dance can improve one's demeanor, making men stand tall and confident, and women move gracefully and confidently.

Han Jin, who was previously somewhat introverted and conservative, always felt inexplicably nervous when dancing ballroom with girls. He would either make mistakes in the steps or step on the girls' feet, so dance class was also his weak point.

"Jin, shall we meet here to practice dancing tonight?" Zeng Hua asked Han Jin.

"Sure!" Han Jin nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Maggie. It's really inconvenient for you to spend your time on me."

"It's okay, I have nothing to do at home anyway," Zeng Hua smiled.

"What are you two whispering about?" Wu Junru suddenly came over and asked.

Zeng Hua blushed, "Nothing, don't pry. Let's go." She then pulled her away.

"Hey, are you two secretly dating?" Wu Junru shouted, "Don't try to get rid of me!"

...

After the students gradually dispersed, Han Jin stayed behind to continue practicing.

He had not learned ballroom dancing before, but all dances have commonalities, emphasizing rhythm and body movement.

Han Jin had learned many dances before, such as breakdance, locking, popping, and new jazz. With the memories in his mind, he quickly picked up the steps and began to dance with style.

After practicing ballroom dancing, he also went through breakdance, locking, popping, and new jazz again.

As the saying goes, "If you don't practice for a day, your hands and feet will become slow," Han Jin naturally did not want his skills to rust.

Thud!

A light sound startled Han Jin. He looked over and saw a girl standing at the door, looking at him somewhat at a loss.

Han Jin remembered she was a classmate named Lan Jie. She was very beautiful, on par with Zeng Hua, but her personality was completely different.

Zeng Hua was outgoing and lively, getting along well with everyone. Lan Jie, on the other hand, was introverted and sensitive, often going about alone. They had been classmates for half a year, but Han Jin had spoken to her less than ten times.

Han Jin walked over to her in confusion, wondering why Lan Jie was still there after everyone had left.

Seeing him approach, Lan Jie, like a frightened rabbit, took a few steps back and suddenly turned and ran away.

Han Jin was left completely puzzled.

...

For lunch, he went out to eat a bowl of wonton noodles at the same place, Wei Quanjun.

The owner saw Han Jin and smiled, "Young man, don't forget to come to my place for the music salon tomorrow."

Han Jin nodded in agreement. After finishing his meal, he returned to the training program to continue practicing.

He practiced until the afternoon, and Han Jin was just about to go out for dinner.

As he walked to the door, he saw a taxi parked outside. The door opened, and Zeng Hua got out, holding a food box.

"Jin!" Zeng Hua smiled when she saw Han Jin.

Han Jin was also surprised, "Oh, Maggie, why did you come so early?"

Zeng Hua smiled, "I was worried that if I came late, it would delay your training."

Han Jin was touched, "Thank you, Maggie."

"You're welcome. By the way, why did you come so early?" Zeng Hua asked curiously.

"Oh, I've been here all along. Since there's a test tomorrow, I wanted to practice more. It's also quieter here with no one else around," Han Jin smiled.

"Ah?! Why didn't you tell me? If I had known you were so eager to practice, I wouldn't have gone home," Zeng Hua pouted.

"I've already troubled you for several days, how could I ask you to stay?" Han Jin explained, a bit embarrassed.

"Okay, by the way, have you eaten?" Zeng Hua nodded and then asked, "I brought you some food, look."

"I can't accept that, you've already done so much for me. I should be the one to treat you to a meal," Han Jin felt even more embarrassed.

"Come on, don't be so formal. Let's go in," Zeng Hua smiled and led Han Jin back to the classroom.

"Come, try it." Zeng Hua opened the food box and invited him warmly.

Han Jin smelled it and smiled, "Wow, it smells so good."

Zeng Hua was even happier, "Eat while it's hot. After you're full, you'll have more energy to practice."

Han Jin nodded. He had been practicing all day and was really hungry.

Sitting down, Han Jin picked up his chopsticks and started eating. The soft and sticky rice with the fragrant roasted goose leg was truly delicious, especially when he was hungry.

Zeng Hua propped her head up with her hands and watched Han Jin eat. Seeing him enjoy the food, she couldn't help but smile sweetly.

"Jin, is it good?" Zeng Hua asked with a smile.

Han Jin nodded, "Yes."

Zeng Hua smiled even more.

...

After finishing the meal, Zeng Hua and Han Jin went to the venue.

"Jin, now it's just the two of us here. You don't have to worry about being seen. Be more relaxed and bold, don't be so shy and nervous," Zeng Hua said to Han Jin.

Han Jin nodded and, following the ballroom dance etiquette, assumed a standard invitation posture.

Zeng Hua smiled and placed her hand in Han Jin's, then bowed and embraced him. Her hand rested on his arm, and his hand was on her waist.

"Good, the posture is quite good," Zeng Hua nodded and smiled, "Now let's see the steps. We'll start slowly, you need to relax and not be nervous."

Han Jin nodded, counting the beats and dancing with Zeng Hua.

At the beginning, he was a bit stiff, but after the initial awkwardness, they developed a good rapport, and his steps became more fluid.

Zeng Hua, seeing that they had danced two sets without any major mistakes, no missed beats, and no stepping on each other's feet, was surprised, "Jin, when did you get so good?"

Han Jin smiled, "Maybe because no one is watching, I'm not so nervous, so I dance better."

"Right, what's there to be nervous about?" Zeng Hua asked with a smile, "Jin, why are you nervous when you dance with me?"

Han Jin, hearing her question, smiled and looked at her.

Up close, Zeng Hua's beauty was even more captivating. Her black hair, big eyes, long eyelashes, high nose, and small mouth... she was truly a heart-stirring beauty.

Being looked at by Han Jin, Zeng Hua blushed and lowered her head slightly. Just as Xu Zhimo wrote, "The most beautiful is that gentle bow, like a water lily trembling in the cool breeze."

Han Jin was also moved. Just then, he heard someone call out, "Wow, you two are so bold, daring to have a secret meeting here?"
