Chapter 116 Part 2: Little Qing, Can You Teach Me? (2)
What a pity there’s no “if.”
But it’s okay; she just came to find a shiny power bank, relieving her illness by eating. As long as she interacts with her teammates at a normal distance, she can naturally eat enough without the need for extra effort.
And because of this,Ji Shuzhu will wholeheartedly help the team with choreography.
Even though sometimes Chu Yuanqing can effortlessly fill the emptiness in her chest with warmth without doing anything, like a god who blesses all beings, in normal circumstances, the so-called shine needs to rely on the stage itself to come into being.
Or rather, it may require a performance at the very least.
Chu Yuanqing is special, but her uniqueness is somewhat unstable.
In theory, someone who shines effortlessly offstage should shine even brighter onstage, yet her presentation is a little erratic, similar to opening a blind box.
So, in order to eat well and gather enough energy to keep her emotions calm for a while, she must find a way to improve the choreography, thereby releasing Chu Yuanqing’s full potential and unleashing her unrivaled brilliance.
So, the three of them started training in the strange atmosphere.
Even though the endorsement shoot was exhausting, with only three weeks remaining before the one-month deadline, mastering a complex choreography that required continual alternation, such as a musical dance routine involving three individuals, required at least ten hours of rehearsal every week. They still believed that additional practice was required due to a lack of chemistry and other reasons.
And so it was not until the night fell that today’s training barely came to an end.
It was half past eight in the evening, in the bathroom.
The droplets from the shower head fell onto the tiles, making a pitter-patter sound.Chu Yuanqing sat lazily in the bathtub, her eyelashes fluttering, resembling the clear golden eyes of a lake shimmering over the soft ridges of the water.
The dim light shattered in between, changing color and radiance as it leaped onto the delicate skin, only lighting up and reflecting through the beautiful arc, traversing over the lantern-like broken glass and gradually climbing up to the collarbone, creating an exquisite sight alongside the hazy mist.
Although this scene would have made her blood boil in the past, sadly, except for a few words that would bring about some shame, her mind had gradually lost much of its excitement.
The little yellow rubber duck in the bathtub spun around and around.
Before leaving, the green-eyed cat sadly gave itself a gift with teary eyes.
Chu Yuanqing sighed slightly, thinking that she hadn’t seen Liuli for a while.
Spending days with Miyuki, she had been asking about Little Shu most of the time, so she had no idea about the current situation of the green-eyed cat.
For some reason, at this point, she felt a pang of guilt, as if she was a bad person who tamed a cat and sent it to someone else without even wanting to video call.
Maybe tomorrow, she could go to the cafeteria and see if she could meet her lovely daughter and Liuli?
But this thought was quickly overshadowed by her heavy training goals. She could only wait in the cafeteria for 40 minutes at noon; any longer would affect her teammates’s training.
After all, practicing alone for this kind of theatrical three-person dance was not very efficient.
Oh, how she missed Little Shu!Chu Yuanqing was bored, thinking about the days when she could hold her darling daughter high, bask in the admiration of sparkling eyes, and tell stories while holding her.
The girl buried her head in her chest, causing bubbles to appear on the water’s surface. After calming down, she lifted up her rosy, cute face and touched the Lantern Gem with her fingertips, saying:
“Camouflage.”
“Disguise.”
As she finished speaking, the lantern glowed slightly and transformed its appearance into a Möbius loop pendant, emitting a faint magical wavelength that changed the color of her eyes and hair to black.
“Hmm, indeed getting smarter.”
“Now you even learned how to be unhappy.”
Chu Yuanqing whispered softly; she comforted the lantern like comforting a small animal, preventing it from expressing discontent through vibrations, explaining:
“Alright, alright, I turned you into a Möbius loop not because I dislike your original appearance, just a disguise to avoid trouble.”
The lantern’s trembling immediately lessened a lot, even shrinking a bit towards the soft flesh in a slightly spoiled manner, looking very easy to please.
When Chu Yuanqing was undressing to take a bath, she tested her lantern and found that after it consumed the material of the Moebius loop, its spirit became more lively. It could perform simple magic on its own and maintain it for a long time.
This progress was very significant because she wouldn’t have to focus on maintaining magic even while sleeping, which greatly improved the quality of her sleep.
Most importantly, she wouldn’t face the awkward situation of accidentally revealing her magical girl identity when she loses control in the future!
On the other hand, after the magic power source spring accumulated magic for up to six minutes, its capacity expanded by one-third.
Adding to that, with the Magic Crystals feedback from the outside world in the past week, she now had enough magic to create a Magic Clone to spend the day with her lovely daughter.
However, she still felt far from being able to face the current situation.Chu Yuanqing fell into deep thought.
In the story “Dazzling Stage,” six Grade A characters were given mysterious magical tools. Following the normal procedure, they should all be on a special watchlist.That wasn’t important; what mattered was if in the future, Little Shu also showed remarkable talent, the government agencies behind “Dazzling Stage” would surely conduct a thorough investigation.
Once investigated, the oddity of Chu Yuanying’s identity will be fully exposed in the upper echelons.
Magic Clones have limits.
Initially unaware of the secret of “Dazzling Stage,” Chu Yuanqing spontaneously created the Magic Clone in Liuli’s coffee shop, which appeared out of thin air in Zhelong Town. The subsequent disappearance was the same, a discrepancy that would be discovered by national authorities upon investigation.
What’s most striking is that his lovely daughter also gave him a vinyl record that day.
This was a gift carefully chosen by Little Shu for reconciliation!
Chu Yuanqing couldn’t bear to lose it. She cleverly disguised the vinyl record with magical silk thread that day, sneaking it through the security check of “Dazzling Stage” and carefully stowing it in her suitcase, planning to bring it back home when she had time.
But once she realized something was amiss with “Dazzling Stage,” this vinyl record went from being a gift to a flaw.
Chu Yuanqing’s identity had been causally adjusted, theoretically having no overlap with Chu Yuanying’s identity, so no one would suspect they were the same person.
However, if this vinyl record were to be exposed, the originally flawless identity would have a small aperture through which the truth could be glimpsed.
So, she had to find a way to throw the timed bomb back into the rented house!
After finishing reading, Chu Yuanqing didn’t think too much. She pressed the bathtub plug with her toes, let the water gush in with a gurgling sound, stood up, dried her body, put on wire-free silk underwear, then a bathrobe, and used magic to dry her hair.
Afterwards, she walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.Maybe because of the transformation, she started to enjoy bathing more than before. After cleaning up, even her mood became much happier.
“Little Qing.”
Xie Qingxuan obediently sat beside the dressing table. Her innocent eyes looked wet with platinum blonde hair, resembling a golden retriever in the rain, making people want to tousle her head.
Chu Yuanqing was touched by the cuteness and came over to pet Xie Qingxuan’s head. With soft eyes, a touch of motherly compassion, and slightly curled lips, she picked up a dry towel and gently dried Xie Qingxuan’s hair, feeling a bit sentimental.
It’s strange how both Liuli and Qingxuan are very cute children.
But their families don’t seem to like them very much, and some even cast extreme shadows on them.
If she had a healthy body to be their mommy, no, their daddy, she would definitely take care of them just like a cute daughter.
Xie Qingxuan is as obedient as usual and behaves well when having her hair blow-dried.
When Chu Yuanqing plays with her hair like playing with a doll, the child lets her do it without any hint of being stubborn or aloof.
After blow-drying their hair, the two healthy-sleeping children lay in their own beds, getting ready to sleep.Since the A-level practice room only has one bedroom, Ji Shuzhu voluntarily went back to the dorm to rest, so now it’s only her and Xie Qingxuan indoors, just like before.Chu Yuanqing did not change into pajamas; instead, she put on a robe and slipped into bed. Her eyelids closed, but before she could fully enjoy the comforts of nighttime, someone dishonestly sat next to her.
This time was different from before.
The golden retriever did not obey the boundary rules, her eyes misty as she crossed the line, her hand passing through the robe and gently touching Chu Yuanqing’s waist. She snuggled her face against her shoulder, softly saying:
“Little Qing, can you teach me, please?”
