After practicing for more than an hour, it was already midnight. The other trainees in the rehearsal rooms gradually left, and the practice area became much quieter.
It was time for Xie Qingci and the others to dance, while Yu Xia watched. She sat in the corner, leaning against the wall, observing Xie Qingci in the middle.
She watched his increasingly skillful movements, his focused expression when he occasionally turned his head, and the luster of his slightly damp hair under the light… Maybe she was too tired, as she watched, a wave of exhaustion washed over her.
By the time Xie Qingci and the others had probably finished a run-through and turned back, Yu Xia had already curled up in the corner and fallen asleep.
Someone wanted to wake her, but Xie Qingci stopped them once he realized.
His eyes flashed fiercely for a moment but quickly lowered to conceal it, then he said softly, "Let's pack up first, we'll wake her later when it's about time."
