Chapter 112 Part 2: Little Sakura’s Awakening, "Dazzling Stage"… Something Is Wrong (2)
Kirimi Miyuki looked dignified and did not seem to be influenced by selfish desires or impulsiveness. Her clear cherry blossom pink eyes reflected her unique charm, saying seriously:
"If I can’t compete with Little Qing in the team, it wouldn’t make sense for me to take the Carry Center from you when we debut."
Chu Yuanqing wanted to say something, but Little Sakura bluntly interrupted:
"I understand. Building a team based on teamwork is a safer bet for winning."
"But Little Qing and I are alike, you should understand, right? Instead of playing it safe, I aspire to create a stage that the audience will love more."
"And compared to the other two, only you, who are like me, can create unexpected chemistry with me on stage."
"That’s why I want to defeat you first."
Kirimi Miyuki did not tell a big lie, she truly thought that way since the very beginning when she decided to take Chu Yuanqing away.
The difference is, she didn’t express the possessiveness hidden in her heart, and the joy that gradually grew into love.
The reason is simple, confessing love is a victorious song, not a call to battle.
Since everyone knew Little Qing is straight, confessing suddenly would be a foolish act.
The first words spoken were too impulsive, realizing it would only make the other person wary and create distance. So the following words were said with some self-correction in mind.
Since it was all true, there were barely any flaws to be found.
—Need to control oneself.
—Need to take it slow like boiling a frog in warm water.
Kirimi Miyuki reminded herself and naturally let go, clearing the confusion in her eyes. The blush pink color symbolizing the silent operation of "Heart Flow", ramping up reaction speed, and carefully managing each expression.
The girl’s smiling lips showed her excitement and passion, full of pure love for the stage. She looked innocent and harmless, as if she was eagerly anticipating basking in the encore wave on the stage, shining brightly.
Yes, just like the Miyuki she first met, she was a silly goof offstage, almost like a clumsy penguin stumbling, but on stage, she could manage perfect expressions, revealing the impressive charm of a powerful idol.
Chu Yuanqing felt the tight strings in her heart suddenly relax, and she even fell into self-doubt, feeling a moment of shame for momentarily imagining a lesbian twist.
Miyuki was still the serious and upright girl, with her eyes only on the stage, faithfully dedicated to being a good child idol, but she almost misunderstood herself as the other kind!
Chu Yuanqing couldn’t help but reflect, as she had been filming lesbian scenes in recent days, combined with being startled by Liuli, which led to this misunderstanding. She couldn’t do this next time, it’s a good thing she didn’t directly ask, or it would have been so embarrassing.
After clearing up the "misunderstanding" and learning the "truth," she earnestly explained:
"I’m not as talented as you imagine Miyuki to be. Even if we were on the same team, I couldn’t steal the spotlight. Similarly, I can’t meet your expectations."
"As for which team you choose to challenge, it’s your own decision. I don’t have the right to directly agree to this competition on behalf of my teammates."
Kirimi Miyuki breathed a sigh of relief at these words. She didn’t regret her impulsiveness today, because it clarified her true feelings. But if this made Little Qing avoid her, it would be too much of a loss.
Little Sakura said seriously:
"Do you want to make a promise?"
Chu Yuanqing asked:
"What promise?"
Kirimi Miyuki continued:
"It’s a simple promise. If your team accepts my challenge and I win the PK battle, you can’t refuse to join my team."
"If I lose the PK battle, I will let you decide and agree to any request you have."
Chu Yuanqing thought for a moment and agreed.
Because in the end, it didn’t really matter which team she stayed with.
And since Kirimi Miyuki lost, she didn’t make any excessive demands, which didn’t really have any impact.
So, this thrilling and exciting conversation with sudden turns, turned into what seemed like a calm little episode.
The advertisement shoot took a total of two and a half days, with both of their work completed, leaving the rest to the professional team of "Dazzling Stage" and the brand.
The remaining steps mainly involve post-production and promotional plans.
The former involves cutting, combining, adding sound effects, and enhancing the visual appeal and attractiveness of the advertisement.
– This was actually mostly taken care of by the high-tech tools at "Dazzling Stage."
The latter involves creating promotional strategies based on the brand’s characteristics and the preferences of the target audience.
In short, Chu Yuanqing didn’t need to worry anymore.
Just before leaving, Lin Jiu had Kirimi Miyuki sign a contract.
The director felt that the bride needed earrings during the photo shoot, so they talked to the brand and arranged for Little Sakura to endorse another product from the same brand.
After signing the contract, the designer gave the bride a new product as a gift, in addition to the wedding dress she was endorsing.
It was more of a prop for fulfilling the obligation rather than a gift.
According to the contract, the couple had to wear the necklace and earrings, products that wouldn’t affect their dancing and performance, during the filming of "Dazzling Stage."
It was okay to forget occasionally, but if they didn’t appear on the screen for a long time, it would be considered a breach of contract and they would face legal consequences.
This rule was the most binding one in the contract.
Despite feeling that their efforts were not proportionate to the rewards, both of them fulfilled this obligation without any complaints.
Time passed by.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, the couple returned to Zhelong Town, concluding this mysterious wedding dress endorsement event.
Just before her phone was taken away,
Under the request of the brand, Chu Yuanqing posted a promotion Weibo with Little Sakura.
This was the first time she remembered having a social media account, and when she hurriedly logged in, she saw a lot of unread messages which seemed terrifying.
If the message limit was not shown as 99+, the total unread messages might have exceeded a million.
Chu Yuanqing was extremely scared.
Especially when she saw that her Weibo account had 7.65 million followers, even her fingertips couldn’t help but tremble. Luckily, with the thoughtful help of Little Sakura, they enabled the option to refuse private messages and posted the promotion Weibo.
Otherwise, the girl would probably stare at the account blankly for five minutes, questioning life.
After that, they surrendered their phones, parted ways in the B1 area, and each went to find their teammates.
When Chu Yuanqing returned to the dorm, she found it empty. She placed the guitar box in the closet, took out the delicately packaged necklace from the gift bag, wore it around her neck, looked at herself in the mirror, and whispered:
"Hmm, the lantern can’t be seen by others, but the necklace looks just right when worn."
The Moebius strip structure on the necklace, through its infinite symbolism, expresses a blessing of eternal youth and everlasting charm.
Based on this structure, the intertwined double-loop design mimics the ancient Roman amphitheater, showcasing a rebellious yet confident spirit. The shiny silver texture is immaculate, overall quite exquisite, and suitable to match the urban chic style previously worn on stage.
However…
Chu Yuanqing used her fingertips to pick up the circular pendant of the necklace, lowering her gaze to carefully observe its appearance. She couldn’t help but feel a fundamental difference between this necklace and the one she used for the shoot.
What could it be?
Chu Yuanqing let go of the pendant, and the circle naturally descended, unexpectedly colliding with the lantern pendant on her chest, emitting a crisp clang.
In an instant,
The girl’s pupils contracted slightly. The lantern pendant was a product between illusion and reality, unobservable by mortal eyes and technological devices, and regular matter could not even touch it.
No, something’s wrong, it must be taken off!
But in the blink of an eye, it was already a step too late.
The necklace and the lantern collided, like natural enemies, creating a tangled phenomenon, causing a powerful wave of magical storm that seemed to engulf the entire B1 area. The thunderous roar sounded in the ears.
Crack, crack.
The Moebius strip, decaying with time, spread with cracks, starting to shatter with colorful substance pulling away from the necklace, being consumed by the lantern completely.
Chu Yuanqing’s necklace, like scattered sand, dissipated in the air without a trace. She stood still, silent.
For a long time, for a long time.
This retired savior, resolved to face death calmly, sighed softly and said:
"《Dazzling Stage》… there is a problem."
