Chapter 104 Part 1: Each One’s Understanding (1)

The green-eyed cat’s fur bristled as if under a magical attack, forced to come to a halt.

She ignored Lin Baor’s eyes that said "you guys are playing too much", and began to ponder with her wise little brain.

Indeed, even if she joined Xie Qingxuan’s team, she would only be able to nod obediently under their influence, at most breaking into their private world and occasionally eavesdropping on bedtime stories, with no chance of taking the lead.

Tang Liuli likes Chu Yuanqing a lot, she had already made sure of that before.

But even though they are living and eating together now, she still couldn’t confess her feelings.

Firstly, Chu Yuanqing would definitely reject her and make her write a 10,000-word self-reflection.

Secondly, her status had fallen from a good kid to a bad kid, and even lower to being treated like a pet.

And how could a cat like Tang Liuli confess to its owner? At most, it could only act cute for some pets and kisses, maybe not even kisses!

Tang Liuli wanted to confess, but at least she needed to raise her status in Chu Yuanqing’s heart from being a cat to becoming a good kid again, then from a good kid to being equal, or even better, in order to have a slight chance.

But what about herself now? She couldn’t even compete with a sakura girl from a remote small country who had no fame or foundation before.

The girl’s emerald eyes were burning with fire, her inner laziness shattered in this tragic defeat, unprecedented resentment mixed with ambition ignited by words, all giving rise to an intense desire to win.

Tang Liuli should not lose, as a child star who became famous in Daxia at the age of 11, she was the most popular among the 168 participants.

The idol in the entertainment industry is just a lower level for actors. She should be the most shining and explosive, capable of causing an upset from the start, overturning the Great Devil, seizing the NO1 position, and dominating as the current trainee.

But from start to finish, due to laziness, resistance, disgust, social anxiety, and even self-destructive tendencies, she made no progress in the show, only making efforts to enter Grade A because of Chu Yuanqing.

This is too ugly and hideous. Compared to the awakening of other trainees, her desire to climb up is pitifully low in purity.

Kirimi Miyuki was right, it is better to personally recruit Honey Qing into the team than to passively give up. This proves her growth and transformation.

Isn’t Honey Qing’s dream to become a shining idol on stage?

If she can surpass others in this field, she might gain more respect and erase some negative impressions from the past, right?

Therefore, from today onwards, she is no longer just an actress, let alone the former child star prodigy.

– Letting go of the shadows of the past, shedding the glory of the past.

The current Tang Liuli is aspiring to surpass Chu Yuanqing and become a world-class shining idol!

In that moment, as intense emotions transformed within her soul, even the Heart Flow seemed to undergo a wonderful elevation.

Without Kirimi Miyuki’s guidance, as a genius almost naturally awakened to the Heart Flow, the barrier seemed as thin as paper, just a slight shift in mindset, and she could no longer be held back by it.

Tang Liuli breathed in the world, as if seeing a brand new world. She briefly forgot fear, overcame her personality flaws, leaving Chu Wang Shu on the far side somewhat bewildered, as if seeing once again that girl on TV who smiled confidently, with firm eyebrows and eyes.

She looked up and said softly:

"I accept your invitation, but that doesn’t mean you’re the captain."

"I will reclaim Chu Yuanqing my own way."

Kirimi Miyuki also smiled, replying pointedly:

"As long as this is enough."

"Or rather, this is how it should be."

"Since we were already competitors, right?"

Chu Wang Shu felt a bit tired, she grabbed the hands of the two stubborn people, pushed them together, and with a smile said:

"Alright, now that we are teammates, we should get along well from now on."

"Whether it’s Miyuki or Liuli, if we want to have good teamwork, we need to understand each other better than before, right?"

Tang Liuli looked away, feeling both awkward and proud.

Kirimi Miyuki remained silent, seeming to agree passively.

Only Lin Baor, who nobody wanted, watched this scene with resentment, thinking "Should I leave?" in her mind as she sadly moved to the undecided zone.

…

…

At the same time, in area C1.

"In that case, the stage PK competition is officially scheduled for noon two days from now."

Xie Qingxuan casually said this sentence, without looking at the other person again, gently held Chu Yuanqing’s hand, exuding a tyrannical and aggressive aura, and slowly walked away as everyone watched.

Chen Yining took a deep breath, determination in her rosy eyes, she also held the hand of her friend next to her and walked towards the practice room.

Ji Shuzhu glanced at the backs of the two people, and whispered:

"Actually, we can refuse, Little Ning."

"Xie Qingxuan and Chu Yuanqing, this pair, in the two-person battles of area C1, are at the top of the food chain, truly the rulers."

"Especially the former, I can tell she’s more dangerous and aggressive than when she first joined the competition. Like Chu Yuanqing and Kirimi Miyuki, she probably has a basic understanding of Heart Flow."

"You should know, the two masters of Heart Flow are entering the world-class idol field as opponents, only those who have also unlocked Heart Flow can compete with them."

Chen Yining fell silent, how could she not know these things?

Falling behind one step, leads to falling behind every step.

From the initial excitement of competing, to being constantly outperformed, even on stage, relying on Chu Yuanqing’s assistance to maintain a facade of balance, her mindset went through multiple changes during this period.

Even though proud and resilient by nature, her mood grew increasingly restless.

Heart Flow," "Heart Flow.

She had diligently practiced for a whole decade for this ticket to becoming a world-class idol, hoping that with the help of Dream Weaver Rabbit’s suggested development, she could break through the mental barrier deep within her consciousness in one go, but the result was disappointing.

Even the lower-rated contestants felt a refreshing sensation when they first stepped out of the cabin, and at some point during that day’s training, they experienced a marvelous acceleration of their thoughts.

But not Chen Yining, when she entered that cabin, she only felt like she had a good nap, no different from falling asleep under the assistance of a professional masseuse or herbalist.

Chen Yining was unaware of the inner workings of the "Heart Flow" training room, and even more unclear about the distinction between fake and real items. From her perspective, all her competitors, who were inferior to her, seemed to be continuously improving, while she remained stagnant, feeling foolish and dull.

Could it be true that I don’t have the talent to awaken my "Heart Flow"?

This doubt accumulated over time has caused a silent storm of frustration, anxiety, and confusion in my heart, fermenting a poisonous potion called "self-doubt," corroding my once pure will.

Chen Yining understood that if she continued in this state, not only would she fail to grasp the "Heart Flow," but she would eventually lose even her normal mental balance.

Therefore, she had to rebuild her confidence before it was too late.

Under these circumstances, the challenge issued by Xie Qingxuan felt like a difficult decision that had to be made.

If she refused, it would mean she thought she would lose, allowing the seeds of self-doubt to once again swell, destroying her already fragile state of mind. Even if she didn’t fight, she would lose completely.

Thus, engaging in the battle became the only choice.

Miss’s eyes sparkled with a deeper pink, her lips slightly curved, her beauty radiant like a peony, exuding an aura of pride and confidence.

At that moment, she forgot all negative factors, briefly casting off the shadows in her heart. Like a soldier about to charge into battle, she ignored the probability of embracing death, determined to break through barriers on this stage and seize the crown of the "Heart Flow."

Chen Yining spoke quietly and confidently:

"Little Shuzhu, the team we formed in this round of competition may not only last until the second performance."

"As long as there is a possibility like this, the quality of the team we formed must not lose to the other teams."

"Because Dream Weaver Rabbit won’t give us another chance."

Ji Shuzhu nodded in silence.

The program group might indeed have set such a trap. From this perspective, the final team formed this month has a good chance of lasting until the end of the ‘Dazzling Stage,’ so selecting teammates carefully is crucial.

Especially with the news just broadcast on the radio, Kirimi Miyuki took Tang Liuli and formed a 2A1B combination. Little Ning might feel anxious because of this, and it’s normal for her behavior to become more aggressive.

However… I always feel like there’s something I haven’t noticed.

Ji Shuzhu was just about to ponder carefully.

She took a deep breath,

The young lady who was always shy even when her head was touched, unexpectedly hugged Ji Shuzhu tightly and sincerely. Her chin rested on Ji Shuzhu’s collarbone, and her breath felt ticklish on the skin beneath the fabric. Due to the angle, Ji Shuzhu couldn’t see the expression on her face clearly.

Ji Shuzhu could only hear the gentle whisper of Qingmei:

"Thank you, Little Shuzhu."

"Whenever I think of having you by my side, I feel like I have the courage to face any difficulties."

Ji Shuzhu lowered her gaze, her lips moved, but she hesitated to speak. She smelled Chen Yining’s fragrance, slowly wrapped her slender waist, gently stroked her raspberry-red hair with cool fingertips, and whispered softly:

"Me too."

If it wasn’t for Chen Yining, she wouldn’t have attempted suicide repeatedly three years ago. Perhaps the first time she cut herself would have ended her life.

However, because of this, she would never let the progressive dementia completely swallow Chen Yining’s unique colors and memories before death arrived.

And to protect this precious treasure, shining… an essential barrier is necessary.
