Chapter 44: Haha, Things Are Heating Up!
The live stream was quickly cut off.
The hidden struggles in the auditorium came to a conclusion.
Kirimi Miyuki and Xie Qingxuan, the only two out of the top 14 players who didn’t share their practice room, became the target of criticism and sparked many debates online.
“I can’t believe Xie Qingxuan is this arrogant. She’s very excellent, but she’s terrified of others practicing in the same room as her.” How narrow-minded!
“Oh yeah, you’re the most broad-minded one, so broad-minded that you’re here on behalf of your boss to argue.”
“It’s difficult to say; look at the performance of the other top players. Xie Qingxuan seriously lacks emotional intelligence.”
“Haha, don’t come with this moral high ground stuff; I like Great Devil’s straightforward personality.”
“This is how internet beggars are, criticizing others for not giving them charity when their favorite boss screws up on stage.”
Xie Qingxuan has a huge fan base, with fans getting into conflicts with other followers, haters, and imposters, sparking a big online battle spreading from live streams to TikTok, forums, Weibo, QQ groups, and WeChat groups, almost causing chaos.
As for Kirimi Miyuki…
Hmm, the situation on her side is very strange.
Because CP has many supporters, this group of very strong and terrifying people are cheerfully churning stories, having a lot of fun, and completely changing the topic to a different direction.
What? You say Kirimi Miyuki is not polite, then invited only Chu Yuanqing?
– Oops, made a mistake and failed!
What? You say Kirimi Miyuki didn’t look for other trainees after being rejected?
– Oops, made a mistake and failed!
What? You say Kirimi Miyuki lacks emotional intelligence, doesn’t know how to behave, is not humble enough, and has a narrow mindset?
– Oops, so sweet!
The strong ability of CP fans to discuss topics can transform these complaints into something constructive. Little Sakura would rather take these comments and simply open her practice room to Chu Yuanqing, completely dismissing the haters’s assaults.
As for fans who are not CP fans, they don’t think Kirimi Miyuki did anything wrong at all.
Ridiculous, what do you outsiders know?
Little Sakura has been an idol for seven years, has felt the warmth and coldness of human emotions, and has fallen into the deepest quagmire. How could she not have anticipated the criticism she would receive for doing so?
Kirimi Miyuki’s decision was not made hastily; her last smile was pleasant, her eyes determined, and her leaving figure upright.
This 12-year-old girl left the countryside of Hokkaido step by step for Tokyo, experienced pressure and bitterness, and danced alone on a narrow stage, like a moth to a flame, showing an extraordinary resilience and stubbornness.
The spring-like energy and persistence of a young sprout breaking through the dirt are precisely the most endearing and admirable attributes of her.
Chu Yuanqing’s decision made them see Kirimi Miyuki’s courage and determination that were no less than before.
Therefore, whether they are CP fans or simply fans of Kirimi Miyuki, they would not think this choice is wrong.
In fact, the love they have for that little idol should make them do just that!
On the other hand, Chu Yuanqing’s fans and passersby who observed what she said proceeded to edit and share them, and they were deeply touched by the words she said.
“Waaa, I feel so ashamed. When Dream Weaver Rabbit announced the rules, my first thought was that Honey Qing could join Little Sakura’s practice room, and I was so happy.”
“Me too, but I didn’t expect Honey Qing to refuse, and the reason for her refusal was so shining, just like a little sun!”
“Honey Qing is still young, but she is very mature. She has her own principles and beliefs and the courage and sincerity to stick to them, which is really rare in the entertainment industry.”
“Yes, her commitment to performing on stage is deep. It takes a lot of bravery to speak those thoughts right now.”
“Silly and stubborn, sincere love always keeps a youthful rebelliousness and innocence. I like this kind of idol and hope that she can shine on the biggest stage!”
“Fans support the main character. If this is Honey Qing’s choice, we are willing to wait until the moment she truly emerges!”
The public opinion and excitement are still brewing.
At the same time, the players at the underground base, whether they successfully entered the A-level practice room or not, had no intention of returning to the dormitories. They all go to the training areas to practice the choreography and lyrics to “Candy” on iPads or virtual projections.
Although Dream Weaver Rabbit mentioned that formal teaching and the one-week time limit would start counting from tomorrow, under the high-pressure environment filled with anxiety, cruel elimination criteria, and the still burning dreams, almost no player would choose to give up.
The choreography of “Candy” is simple.
This allows some beginners to learn a little through videos.
In terms of singing, not everyone has had professional vocal training, but they can nevertheless utilize existing music scores, become acquainted with the melody, and attempt to memorize the lyrics.
In short, the key word is practice.
Time is precious; those who do not train now will find it difficult later!
Because of this atmosphere,
Chu Yuanqing bid farewell to her daughter, who wanted to train seriously with ease. She returned to the dormitory building with a joyful heart, recalling the hardships of the day, feeling that the bitter experience was turning sweet.
She used the rule of the red-eyed rabbit to successfully refuse training with Kirimi Miyuki, assuming that in the future, Kirimi Miyuki wouldn’t spare time to teach her in order to compete for the championship.
With Grade B players unable to share the practice room, Little Shu also couldn’t join them to experience the scrutiny during soft opening training.
In other words, she is free!
Haha, things are getting better; everything is getting better!
Chu Yuanqing is imagining the future, feeling happy.
The training time for the theme song is just one week. Considering Little Shu’s serious personality, she will definitely spend most of the time in the practice room, not to mention Kirimi Miyuki, who is even more of a dream chaser.
Next, all she needs to do is go with the flow in the Grade C Practice Room with no live stream, perform decently in the evaluation after a week, and even in the large performance. Getting eliminated is a certainty.
Chu Yuanqing happily opened the door, and a vast scenery came into view.
The girl looked like a tired little puppy with a heavy heart. She drooped her eyelids wearily, emotions murky in her emerald eyes, with subtle ripples of repose. Her damp hair fell on her slim shoulders and back, her pale skin just brushed by the warm air, showing a slightly sickly shade of pink.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Water droplets slid along the uncleaned skin, flowing over the varied curves, making a mess of the floor inside. From afar, it looked like small dark clouds hanging over her head, creating a melancholic yet artistic atmosphere, like a deliberately staged art photo.
It was indeed Tang Liuli.
