Volume 4 Chapter 32: My Rival Looks So Flirty
G-Gao Liang?
Lin Lin blinked in confusion. It wasn’t because of anything else. It was because she saw her rival’s face in the mirror.
This is so strange.
She turned her head and looked at Gao Liang, who was still sitting where he was. He was clearly sitting there.
So why was the one in the mirror standing?
She scratched her head in confusion. But the Gao Liang in the mirror also scratched his head at the same time.
What the…
The girl turned around and muttered, “Hey, stop copying me.”
“Uh… huh?”
Gao Liang tilted his head, confused.
Lin Lin felt even more confused. Why was he pretending not to understand?
She turned back to the mirror and tilted her head slightly. The “rival” in the mirror also tilted his head in the same way.
At this point, Lin Lin completely froze. After a few seconds, she suddenly understood.
Oh!
So that’s how it works. Only the reflections in the mirror switch appearances?
In other words, when she looks in the mirror, she sees herself as Gao Liang. And when she looks at Gao Liang in the mirror, she sees him as herself?
“Uh, Gao Liang, come here for a moment!”
To test her guess, Lin Lin turned around and looked at him with bright eyes.
Gao Liang didn’t understand what she was confused about, but he nodded anyway. He stood up, stretched, and walked over to her side.
“What is it?”
Lin Lin stared at the mirror. In it, a girl who looked exactly like her was standing next to… well, next to “her”—or actually, next to her rival.
Ahem. The description is complicated, but it proved her guess was correct.
Right now, in the mirror, she really looked like Gao Liang!
Wait a second.
Lin Lin quickly turned to him and asked nervously, “Gao Liang… um, can you look at the mirror? Do you see anything strange?”
She was worried that since he was the bound target, he might also see something unusual.
That would be bad. What if he saw something supernatural right away?
Um…
She quietly placed her hand on his shoulder, ready to knock him out with a quick chop if he reacted strangely.
But Gao Liang looked calm. He didn’t seem surprised at all.
“There’s nothing strange,” he said, even studying his reflection carefully. “It looks normal.”
Lin Lin finally let out a breath of relief and nodded.
“Good. As long as there’s nothing strange, that’s good.”
Then she showed a sly smile. She looked at the “herself” in the mirror—that is, Gao Liang’s appearance—flipped her hair, and waved her hand.
“Ahem. Okay then, Gao Liang, you can go rest over there again. I’m going to continue practicing!”
“Oh, okay!”
Gao Liang nodded and went back to his seat. He wasn’t sleepy anymore, so he started watching her practice seriously.
As for Lin Lin, now that she had overcome her mental block, especially after trying a few dance moves while seeing her rival’s face in the mirror.
She only felt like laughing.
Help, hahaha——
This… this is way too funny! Gao Liang is… is making a heart shape with his hands, hahaha!
Lin Lin really couldn’t hold it in anymore. But at least she had overcome her mental block. It’s just… this scene is way too funny to watch.
Alright, alright.
She shook her head. No, she really shouldn’t keep looking at the mirror. Holding back her laughter, Lin Lin picked up her phone and carefully watched the dance moves again.
This time, since she was fully focused, she quickly memorized all the moves. She went through them once in her mind, then smiled slightly and turned to Gao Liang.
“Gao Liang, let’s start! Help me turn on the speaker and play the BGM. Just play the first one!”
“Oh, okay!”
Gao Liang nodded. He turned on the speaker, connected it with Bluetooth, opened the video on his phone, and started playing the dance BGM.
The music started.
As the music played, the girl took a deep breath and began to dance seriously. Following her memory, she moved smoothly. Twisting her waist, stretching out her arms, spinning around, and then…
Pfft—
When she once again made the heart gesture and saw her “flirty-looking” rival in the mirror, Lin Lin couldn’t hold it anymore. She burst out laughing.
Her movements stopped immediately.
Gao Liang felt a little helpless, but he understood. After all, Lin Lin had always been shy about looking at herself in the mirror. Laughing out loud might not be the usual reaction for being shy, but… well, it was still understandable, right?
He patted his leg and called out loudly to encourage her:
“Come on, Lin Lin! That was really good just now. Just don’t think about other things. Focus on the dance and control your emotions!”
“Pfft… o-okay. I’ll… I’ll try.”
Lin Lin forced herself to hold back her laughter. Who knows how much effort it took for her to control her expression? Anyway, just after agreeing to him, she turned back to the mirror and continued watching “Gao Liang” dance.
She followed the moves again.
But what shocked Gao Liang was that she didn’t restart from the point where she had stopped. Instead, she continued directly from the part where the BGM was currently playing.
That was impressive!
Gao Liang opened his mouth in surprise. That meant Lin Lin had already connected the music and the dance moves very closely in her memory. She didn’t need to start from the beginning, she could jump into any part and continue dancing.
Usually, that level of skill required someone to be very familiar with the whole dance. And she had only watched it for such a short time. That was amazing.
Gao Liang was still shocked by her memory ability when, after a while, the girl couldn’t hold it in again.
Pfft—
She suddenly squatted down, laughing.
“Pfft pfft pfft—”
“Is it really that funny?”
Gao Liang asked in confusion.
Just now, he had been praising her in his heart. And then she immediately lost control again. It made him feel a little embarrassed.
The main problem was that he didn’t know what she found so funny.
Gao Liang stood up and walked over to her. Lin Lin, who was laughing so hard that she squatted on the floor, ended up lying down while holding her stomach.
“It’s just… it’s really too funny!” she said while laughing. “Gao Liang, you don’t know how funny it looks when you do that waist-holding move!”
“When I do it?” Gao Liang turned to look at the mirror and blinked. “If I do it, it must look pretty silly. Hmm, let me try.”
“Pfft pfft~ No need! I already tried it for you, you don’t have to— eh? Eh?!”
Lin Lin suddenly realized what he meant. She quickly got up and tried to stop him.
“Wait, wait, wait! You’re a grown man, why are you trying to dance this kind of otaku dance?”
“Just to try it! I also want to know why Lin Lin finds it so funny. Come on, let me give it a try!”
