Chapter 101 Part 2: Heart Flow Exercise Method (2)

Heart Flow.

This state, revered in the idol world, is akin to the ancient martial arts concept of “Still Water in Bright Mirror” from Daxia. It mirrors the meditation practices of ancient yoga or the Zazen of Buddhism—a mysterious realm reserved for geniuses, unreachable through sheer effort.

If the “comeback opportunity” mentioned by Dream Weaver Rabbit is indeed a method to awaken Heart Flow, then its promise is anything but empty. The value it carries is undeniable.

The logic is simple. Chu Yuanqing is the prime example.

Before joining Dazzling Stage, Chu Yuanqing was a complete novice in dance, singing, and acting. Her self-taught skills barely reached a Grade C level, often falling short compared to her peers. Yet, on stage, with the power of Heart Flow, she dazzled the world, turning into a captivating force.

What made her transformation extraordinary was that this overwhelming charm wasn’t rehearsed or polished—it emerged solely through Heart Flow.

Her journey inspired everyone. The allure of this skill wasn’t lost on anyone: learning Heart Flow wasn’t just a skill; it was a rebirth—a gateway to limitless possibilities.

In the livestream chat, reactions poured in:

“Is this Dazzling Stage’s secret weapon for creating idols? Are they really on the verge of decoding Heart Flow?”

“If this is true, it could revolutionize not only entertainment but also psychology and medicine.”

“Forget the future—I just want to know who’ll awaken Heart Flow next. This suspense is killing me!”

Dream Weaver Rabbit smiled mysteriously.

“For more details, when you reach the C1 area, the staff will explain further. For now, everyone can disperse and move to the dormitories.”

With those words, the hologram dissolved, and the broadcast signal cut off, leaving the contestants to digest the bombshell announcement.

The contestants’ emotions ranged from eager anticipation to quiet despair. Like fish escaping a net, they scattered toward various exits.

Chu Yuanqing, as always, had her hands full.

She comforted Tang Liuli, who clung nervously to her sleeve, ensuring she didn’t get too excited or upset. At the same time, she dealt with her “adopted daughter” trying to stick close, greeted Kirimi Miyuki, and managed to maintain her composed demeanor.

Xie Qingxuan, however, remained calm. Silent, she seemed lost in thoughts about the Heart Flow training method, her regal presence undisturbed.

But her silence infuriated the green-eyed cat, Tang Liuli, who interpreted it as smugness. Narrowing her eyes in anger, she shot dagger-like glares at Xie Qingxuan, leaving Chu Wang Shu exasperated.

“This idol really lacks discipline,” Chu Wang Shu muttered, shaking her head.

Meanwhile, Liang Xiaoxiao was laser-focused.

She skipped farewells, packed swiftly, and moved into her new dorm in the C1 area. Wasting no time, she headed straight for the training ground, determined to master Heart Flow.

Even if the odds of success were slim—perhaps only 1%—to someone on the brink of failure, any glimmer of hope was worth pursuing.

For Liang Xiaoxiao, it was a last-ditch effort to rewrite her destiny.

C1 Area – A-Level Practice Room

“Are we live-streaming this?”

“No. Why?”

Xie Qingxuan nodded thoughtfully, then began unbuttoning her shirt. Her movements were slow and deliberate, the sound of fabric shifting faint but mesmerizing.

The light accentuated her fair skin, and the subtle curve of her butterfly bones drew attention as she slipped the shirt from her shoulders, revealing a glimpse of her spine.

Chu Yuanqing froze, her gaze involuntarily drawn to Xie Qingxuan’s flawless form. Turning away quickly, she tried to suppress her growing discomfort.

Her thoughts raced. I want to die, I want to die, I want to die.

The situation was unbearable, but years of idol training had hardened her resolve. She forced herself to remain composed, though her face betrayed her inner turmoil.

Moments later, Xie Qingxuan reemerged in a loose-fitting dance suit, completely oblivious to Chu Yuanqing’s discomfort. Sitting down, she addressed her partner with her usual earnestness.

“Your dance is solid, but the moves are choppy in places. Let’s work together to divide the roles—male and female—and practice the routine.”

Her suggestion was pragmatic and straightforward, leaving no room for refusal.

Chu Yuanqing’s anxiety deepened.

In this version of the routine, the female role had several intimate and provocative moves: falling onto the partner, locking eyes, and—worst of all—sitting on their hips.

Desperate to avoid the role, Chu Yuanqing blurted, “I’ll lead.”

Xie Qingxuan blinked, tilting her head. “But the male role requires height for visual balance. You’re shorter, and your hair’s length complements the female role better.”

Chu Yuanqing panicked, searching for an excuse. Finally, she stammered, “Your… um… chest makes you better suited for the female role!”

Xie Qingxuan considered this, cupping her hands over her chest as if weighing Chu Yuanqing’s point. After a moment, she replied earnestly, “If that’s a concern, I can bind it. Besides, excessive curves might look vulgar in this choreography. Yours is just right.”

Chu Yuanqing was speechless, her face burning with embarrassment. Reluctantly, she agreed to take the female role.

The pair began practicing.

Xie Qingxuan’s skills were unparalleled. Even without full mastery of Heart Flow, she grasped complex routines with ease. Meanwhile, Chu Yuanqing relied on her innate connection to Heart Flow, progressing quickly despite her initial hesitation.

Around them, other C1 contestants worked tirelessly, strategizing their next moves.

Kirimi Miyuki, gazing at the names of rival teams displayed on a screen, smiled softly. Her fingers traced a frame in the air, locking onto one name.

Turning to Chu Wang Shu, she said, “It seems our team still needs a lead singer.”
