Don't be bait and switched
Xi Zirui recoils in shock from Jin Ranyu, completely at a loss, but by then there's a thundering roar of cheers and catcalls from the other trainees.
The cameras cut away from them before Xi Zirui breaks free from Jin Ranyu's hold, immediately focusing on Ji Limei next to the judging panel, gushing effusively about their performance.
Xi Zirui's cuts his eyes towards the podium where the trainees sit, but he can't find Han Yu anywhere.
He doesn't have time to look for him, because moments later the judges are addressing him and Jin Ranyu.
"That was surely passionate," Bai Mi says, her sharp fingernails clicking on the sleek tabletop, punctuating each word. "But I think Jin Ranyu let himself disappear into the dance far more than Xi Zirui." Looking straight at him, she adds "I felt like you were thinking instead of feeling the music."
That's because he had to focus on not tripping over himself.
