Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!

Chapter 147: Chapter 127: Shen Qingning’s Sense of Oppression

In “Youu Come to Play,” Cheng Zhu was holding his phone, looking for the best angle to shoot.

On the two dance machines, two women were sizzling their way through a performance.

On the left machine stood Zhang Qiqi, and on the right was her internet celebrity friend, known online as Liu Mihu, a dance blogger.

This internet celebrity belle had previously mentioned that she intended to use her personal connections to bring more influencers familiar with Cheng Zhu to the store to check in.

Liu Mihu, the dance blogger, was one of them.

How to describe her dance moves?

My brother would be baffled after watching.

From a dance style perspective, Zhang Qiqi didn’t have any provocative undertones; dancing was purely dancing for her.

It was only because she was beautiful, with a great figure and flawless dance moves that she offered a pleasant visual experience.

Today, she wore a light brown thin-knit long-sleeved sweater, in a slim-fit style.

The sweater was cropped short, so raising her arms would reveal a sexy glimpse of her waistline.

But the sleeves were slightly longer, covering her hands entirely, which visually accentuated the length of her arms.

Below, Zhang Qiqi wore a pair of tight-fitting black denim shorts that accentuated her pert buttocks.

Next came the essence of her outfit.

On her right thigh, she wore a black leg ring!

The leg ring was worn tight enough to create a slight indentation in the flesh.

This arrangement highlighted the plumpness of her thighs.

Below the leg ring were black short socks and a pair of black platform leather shoes.

If Zhang Qiqi’s dance attire could be described as carefully calculated, then her dance blogger friend next to her literally had no fear of wardrobe malfunctions.

She wore a light brown body-hugging skirt for dancing.

When she stood still, the skirt lived up to its name, barely covering her posterior.

Thus, as she danced and especially when her arms were lifted, the hem of the skirt naturally tended to rise a fraction.

What came next was where the dance bloggers truly mastered their craft.

With keen awareness, she would suddenly pull down on the skirt’s hem during these critical moments, performing the entire maneuver with practiced ease.

And damn it, while the move felt somewhat exasperating, it also carried a hint of flirtation, and inadvertently regained your attention on the skirt.

Many male customers in the store were ogling like there was no tomorrow.

And there were brothers-in-arms sending out messages to each other: “Goddesses dancing at ‘Youu Come to Play,’ come quick!”

As Shen Qingning entered the store, she just so happened to witness Liu Mihu tugging down her skirt, which caused her brows to furrow slightly.

This dance blogger had been gaining traffic by posting edgy dance videos.

Thus, although she was dancing the same routine as Zhang Qiqi, her movements were much more exaggerated.

And now, as they reached the hip-swiveling part, Liu Mihu’s legs were spread so wide that the skirt was stretched to its limit, revealing the shape of her buttocks completely.

This hip roll felt like she was wiggling her buttocks against a thin veil.

The facial expressions of many male customers around were quite a spectacle.

This caused Shen Qingning to glance over at Cheng Zhu, only to find him seemingly…focusing?

Cheng Zhu was indeed recording with great concentration.

The reason was simple: he knew that dance machine videos like these could easily go viral online.

Especially those shot from the perspective of a bystander.

It was the year 2014, and not many people took this approach to shoot videos.

But in an era where TikTok prevailed, dance machine videos from a bystander’s perspective could garner hundreds of thousands of likes in abundance.

This angle of shooting was all about an immersive, first-person experience!

You could be sitting at home, yet your soul was already flying to the arcade.

Of course, Cheng Zhu’s particularly diligent recording had another reason.

“That bodycon skirt she’s wearing, isn’t it one from my ‘Persistent Visit’ stepmother skirt series?”

“As a QQ product, the skirts from ‘Persistent Visit’ would be even shorter. The one she’s wearing is actually one size too large, which is why it barely passes for outdoor wear.”

“Of course, among the five stepmother skirts in the store, hers uses the most material.”

Last time, after he finished shooting the set of pure desire photos for Zhang Qiqi, her Weibo post indeed went mini-viral online.

Be it likes, comments, or view counts, they were all significantly higher than Zhang Qiqi’s other recent posts!

At the same time, the fan conversion rate was not bad, netting her quite a few new followers.

Her internet celebrity friends were quite envious of the numbers!

Liu Mihu suggested coming in to check in today, originally planning to record a dance video of a few dozen seconds in front of the doll wall.

It was Cheng Zhu who proposed that they should shoot on the dance machine instead, as perhaps the final video, once posted online, would bring a pleasant surprise.

Liu Mihu was initially hesitant, feeling that the doll wall was a more suitable backdrop for recording.

However, upon seeing Zhang Qiqi’s glance at Cheng Zhu, she grabbed her hand, expressing her willingness to join in the recording, and without a word, dragged her onto the dance machine.

Left without a choice, Liu Mihu set up a tripod right in front of the dance machine and placed her phone on it for a conventional recording.

Seeing all her preparations, Cheng Zhu could only shake his head internally and, relying on his rich experience, took a pseudo-bystander perspective video on his phone from the side.

“You’re lucky that you’re wearing a skirt sold at my shop. Otherwise, someone of your caliber wouldn’t be deserving enough for me to personally shoot,” he thought.

He found Liu Mihu genuinely muddled, not even realizing how to play to her strengths.

You’ve got a face ravaged by plastic surgery, not even pretty, filming front-facing videos for what?

Your biggest selling point is that big fat butt, okay?

Non-facing bystander rear views are the best!

At that moment, he was completely unaware of Shen Qingning, who was standing behind him.

Of course, even if he had noticed her, it wouldn’t have impacted his recording.

In his view, work was work and life was life; the two must be kept separate.

But to be truthful, he did think: “They’re trying so hard to dance, yet why do I feel that Ning Bao casually dancing last night looked better?”

Shen Qingning had only done leg movements last night. Her legs were disproportionately long, tapping the dance machine keys with a grace that neglected to involve her upper body.

Even just that seemed to totally overshadow these two.

It must be said, those legs of hers were just too unreasonable.

When the dance was over, the two dancers turned and stepped off the dance machine.

Liu Mihu, having seen Cheng Zhu filming as well, thought he was just another guy who couldn’t resist recording. As a dance blogger, she often encountered such behavior outdoors where passersby unwaveringly took out their phones and filmed.

“Young handsome guy, you even started recording?” she joked.

“Your style of recording won’t produce good results,” Cheng Zhu commented blankly, pointing at the tripod Liu Mihu had set up.

“You mean to say, your video will be better?” Liu Mihu didn’t believe it, as she considered herself a professional dance blogger.

Cheng Zhu then cockily declared, “Can’t say it’s better, just that it trumps your video, that’s all.”

“Ha ha ha! Qiqi, this male… your male friend, is quite funny,” said Liu Mihu.

It was curious—him carrying that top-tier rascal’s handsome face, paired with such arrogant talk, didn’t put her off.

Zhang Qiqi blinked and then suggested, “How about you post the one you filmed yourself, and I’ll post the video Cheng Zhu shot, and we’ll see who does better?”

“Sure! Any stakes?” Liu Mihu quickly responded.

“The loser treats to dinner,” said Zhang Qiqi.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mihu glanced at Cheng Zhu and teased again, “Young handsome guy, if Qiqi loses, you’ll have to pay for the dinner, right?”

She thought she was being quite emotionally intelligent, giving the young cutie an opportunity.

She knew Qiqi had many men fawning over her, and this would make them grateful while they opened their wallets.

Yet, for some reason, he merely retorted, “Don’t even think about it, it won’t happen. Since I’ve taken the video, surely it will be better than your selfie.”

In his past life, Cheng Zhu wouldn’t have bothered to bolster such an influencer with her kind of pull.

What makes you worthy of being promoted, just because you have a big butt?

Lucky you, wearing a “Persistent Visit” stepmother skirt, might as well think of it as a promotional video for the product.

Indirectly, it’ll increase your popularity, and you’ll be floating on cloud nine!

As for me paying for dinner… what are you daydreaming about?

Liu Mihu had initially regarded Cheng Zhu as one of Zhang Qiqi’s suitors.

Upon meeting Cheng Zhu, she thought Qiqi’s latest pursuer seemed pretty decent, and darn attractive, too.

But now, it seemed it wasn’t quite the case.

However, she knew well about Zhang Qiqi’s charm. The quality men orbiting her were too numerous to count, splurging money and showing care daily, yet failing to even hold her hand.

She had heard from this campus goddess that this good-looking young man was just a freshman.

Could anyone of this age possibly withstand Zhang Qiqi’s allure?

He should be easily manipulated, right?

Just as this blogger, adept at skirting the line, was preparing to make another quip, she saw Zhang Qiqi looking ahead with a slight surprise.

She saw Shen Qingning standing not far away.

As Shen Qingning noticed her gazing, she silently met her gaze.

With others, she was nothing like when she was with Cheng Zhu.

At this moment, she had reverted back to her usual state of being powerfully aloof and imposing.

After a few seconds of eye contact, it was Zhang Qiqi who couldn’t help but look away, which annoyed her greatly, as it always did.

Shen Qingning, this luxurious flower of the world, only then walked forward and stood beside Cheng Zhu.

She was dressed in a black Little Chanel suit, the latest seasonal release from Chanel.

To put it bluntly, the most expensive thing on Liu Mihu was her surgically altered face.

In contrast, the outfit worn by Shen Qingning trumped her face in value.

What was more infuriating was that this girl was stunningly beautiful, with a flawless beauty and a demeanor that was both cool and breezy!

Many of Chanel’s jackets are short to highlight the legs, accentuating the disproportionately long, enviable limbs of Shen Qingning, driving people mad.

Cheng Zhu looked at her and naturally said, “You’re here?”

“Yeah,” Shen Qingning replied with a slight nod, then glanced at Liu Mihu, who had just finished dancing.

Somehow, facing her gaze, Liu Mihu actually felt a bit nervous, sensing a kind of pressure.

I mean, in her mind, beauties like Zhang Qiqi belonged on the runway modeling for luxury brands.

And Shen Qingning?

Her presence and aura felt more like the heiress of a luxury brand, scrutinizing your walk from the audience.

That was the difference!

As Liu Mihu watched Shen Qingning standing beside Cheng Zhu, she suddenly realized just how wrong and misguided her previous thoughts had been!

Shen Qingning, having withdrawn her gaze from the two women, then said, “I just finished class and thought I’d drop by to check in.”

Liu Mihu: But your vibe seems more like you’re making an inspection.

The cool young woman showed no intention of staying long and directly said to Cheng Zhu, “I’ll head out first, then.”

“Okay,” Cheng Zhu nodded, taking it as the proud beauty simply stopping by to say hello.

Liu Mihu watched through the store’s glass as Shen Qingning got into a white Land Rover Range Rover parked across the street and drove away.

As if her mere presence had been enough.
