Chapter 43: Wish You Good Luck And Prosperity
The fans watching the live stream were going crazy when they saw this scene:
“Ahhh, my favorite couple is so sweet!”
“Haha, Little Sakura looks so happy and cute.”
“Miyuki looks nervous. I stayed up all night studying her interactions with teammates before, and it was totally different!”
“Wow, it feels like watching a confession scene in a drama.”
“Haha, I didn’t expect Little Sakura to be clueless, but Honey Qing looks so innocent; is she going to confess her love?”
“Haha, don’t forget Honey Qing’s debut stage performance and the scene where she hugged in the rain; they were both fantastic! She always appears mature and sophisticated, such a lovely younger sister with a big sister attitude!”
Fortunately, as Dream Weaver Rabbit left, the floating bullet comments surrounding the screen disappeared; otherwise, with all the supportive comments from these fans, the duo’s moment together would have looked suspicious.
Chu Yuanqing’s immediate reaction was relief, knowing she could soon escape this drama-filled place, yay!
However, she instantly discovered something horrifying.
That is, Grade A players have four hours of live streaming every day!
If she and Kirimi Miyuki shared a practice room, her embarrassing moves during warm-up and scenes of learning the theme song dance would definitely be exposed to the public!
Even though she had no idea how many fans she had now, just looking at that exclusive ticket made her feel uneasy. Adding Kirimi Miyuki’s own supporters, there might be tens of thousands of viewers watching online over the course of four hours, according to conservative estimates.
Gosh, how is this any different from a public execution?!
This type of horrific scenario cannot happen to her, or she would be too afraid to sleep tonight, fearing being devoured by the curse of the Sea of Truth!
——Maybe.
Chu Yuanqing shook her head furiously, like she were a cat that was averse to being bathed.
But very soon,
The girl looked disappointed and uncertain how to explain why she didn’t like Little Sakura.
What should she do to avoid the misunderstanding that she hates her?
Chu Yuanqing, with a serious expression, searched her head for a solid excuse and firmly refused
“Sorry, Miyuki.”
“You might think I’m old-fashioned, but I believe that the treatment based on talent on stage shouldn’t be influenced by personal relationships or other people’s personal opinions.”
“My dancing ability is barely at the Grade C level, so my treatment should reflect that. I regret taking up your time to teach me in your practice studio in the past, and I feel much worse about it now.”
Chu Yuanqing felt she needed to be even more forceful and shut down any attempts at persuasion:
“Do not worry about me. If I am eliminated in the next phase due to the studio’s technical constraints, it simply means that I did not work hard enough, and I am not cut out to be an idol.”
After speaking, Chu Yuanqing remembered her fallen comrades, drawing on authentic emotions from her memories to make her words more convincing.
The girl’s lips curved up slightly, her grin genuine, and her determined tone infused with unwavering devotion:
“Because, didn’t Dream Weaver Rabbit say so?”
“An idol is someone who defies all the odds and still shines brilliantly on stage.”
“I want to be that kind of person, so I should start here and work hard to achieve that.”
As her words faded, the surrounding competitors fell into silence.
The chaotic audience in the live studio was greatly shocked.
Dream Weaver Rabbit, at the core of the underground base, felt deeply gratified.
Chu Yuanqing appeared to have garnered divine blessings at that moment, gleaming brightly like an angel with a halo behind her!
Normally, these words would have been seen as mere talk.
In a world where unfairness prevails, where practice room discrepancies are enormous, where Dream Weaver Rabbit sells anxiety, and where elimination means losing the opportunity to become an idol, speaking out loud necessitates not only determination but also respect for the stage, as well as belief and love for idols!
How admirable is the pure heart of an idol like this?!
Those low-rated contestants, swayed by Dream Weaver Rabbit’s persuasive words, have blurred their own beliefs. For their own benefit and future, they have accepted this moral dilemma, silently waiting for the favor of a top trainee.
Even though no one sees this as wrong.
But to resist temptation, stick to one’s principles, and have the courage to speak out what’s in one’s heart seems stubborn. Even though she may appear foolish, she shines brightly, resembling the idol everyone admired.
Kirimi Miyuki felt a little disoriented since every word she heard seemed to reach into her soul.
It was as if she saw another version of herself in the world.
Another foolish, determined, and passionate version of herself who loves the stage tremendously.
Yes, if she were in the other person’s shoes, she would probably make a similar choice.
Dream Weaver Rabbit was right. For trainees who aspire to be idols, succeeding on stage is essential. Attempting to obtain more rewards beyond what is reasonable by means other than the stage is a denial of the stage itself.
Kirimi Miyuki had experienced the ups and downs of the world and understood human nature well. She thought no one would be as foolish as her, but Chu Yuanqing’s response shattered that belief.
Kirimi Miyuki felt at ease. The guilt, tension, inner conflict, and the desire to explain all dissipated with Chu Yuanqing’s words.
She realized that Chu Yuanqing, who could say those words, would not care about the outcome of the theme song or the exclusive ticket. She would not misunderstand or have any impure thoughts because of it.
This was an unspoken understanding between people of a similar kind.
The girl’s eyes softened, her expression brightened, and she gave a cheerful smile, softly saying:
“I understand.”
“Then I wish you good luck and prosperity.”
With that, she concluded.
Kirimi Miyuki didn’t mean to seek out anyone; she just walked away with light steps, her dress fluttering as she disappeared into the distance.
Chu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling overjoyed.
I’m pretty good; I handled the Sakura girl in just three sentences!
The girl held back her emotions, resisted the urge to run, put on a calm facade, quietly got up, and prepared to leave.
But in the next moment,
“Wow, Qing Qing, your words are so cool!”
Chu Wang Shu hugged her petite body like a koala, her face full of excitement.
Chu Yuanqing stumbled, memories flashing through her mind, suddenly remembering a scene from ten years ago when she carried this child around Sea City Zoo, feeling a wave of sadness and starting to deceive herself.
Haha, it’s unbelievable how big the child has grown in the blink of an eye; no wonder she’s too heavy to carry.
At the same time,
The fans in the live stream room were going crazy:
“Even though she rejected him, why do I feel this crush is getting stronger!”
“Crushing so hard, don’t we look like a happy couple?”
“Oh no, Chu Yuanqing refused even this; I feel like our crush is getting real!”
“Little Sakura understands how to pursue someone; the next line after ‘wish you good luck and prosperity’ is ‘may we meet at the peak,’ right?”
