Chapter 52: The Method of Deduction, Breathing a Whole New World
The next day.
In the morning, Grade C Practice Room.
Kirimi Miyuki criticized seriously, saying:
"Little Qing, your movements are too stiff!"
Chu Yuanqing’s delicate and pretty face showed a serious expression mixed with despair. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, sweat dripping from her temples, highlighting her delicate skin.
The girl stood still, her eyes lowered in guilt. She nervously twisted the hem of her skirt with slender hands, trying to cover up her alluring fair thigh, but failing to hide the gracefully curved calf underneath.
Her body was too perfect, with her long legs in golden ratio, sleek curves, and smooth fair skin, making the short skirt worn on her especially eye-catching.
Xie Qingxuan looked at her more than usual.
When Liang Xiaoxiao saw it, she quietly pulled up her skirt a little.
Tang Liuli quietly cursed the wicked succubus, then blushed and turned to leave.
Chu Wang Shu couldn’t help but touch it when passing by, admiring the smooth texture over her own, and reluctantly left.
The other contestants in the dance room occasionally couldn’t help but stare blankly at these legs while taking a break.
The direction of today’s livestream is also going crazy towards this side, with very frightening comments.
Chu Yuanqing wore the outfit sent by the program group yesterday, said to be for secondary rating, even the theme song performance has a uniform dress code. The outfit is simple, with a white short-sleeved shirt and a white skirt leaning towards the JK style. Wearing it, her slim waist was subtly visible, her creamy white skin alluring, making people desire to peek at her belly button, showing the coolness of summer.
To be honest, this is not much different from usual for the other contestants, so they can get used to it early, which is considered a good thing.
But for a middle-aged father, this is truly too terrifying.
The scary monster with tentacles that hasn’t been in the mind recently, is now being awakened in a strong way, laughing wickedly while tormenting a poor and innocent magical girl with its tentacles.
This is a punishment from hell!
It’s a ruthless insult to the retired hero!
It’s a cruel punishment that strips away a father’s dignity!
The despicable red-eyed rabbit, the despicable "Dazzling Stage" official, the despicable mean-spirited audience.
The current Chu Yuanqing now equally hates everyone who likes short skirts!
Kirimi Miyuki is still correcting seriously and patiently:
"And in that last part, you must remember to smile, managing your expressions is very important, it’s the key to giving the dance soul."
"Also, ‘candy’ is a sweet song, you need to show your sweetness, even how you handle those little movements. If done roughly, you won’t be able to emphasize the girly vibe."
"Finally, it’s time for singing and dancing. The moves in this dance are not big, but it takes a lot of energy to sing and dance at the same time. You need to control your breath carefully."
"There are six days left now, so we need to practice these skills and improve our stamina quickly."
Chu Yuanqing didn’t want to listen to all that, she just wanted to finish this long lesson and quickly go back to her dorm to change clothes.
However, Little Sakura was determined to come to the Grade C Practice Room, even if it meant delaying her training, to provide personal guidance through words and actions.
Even though she was confident in her own abilities, behaving like this in the world of "Dazzling Stage" was almost like being a saint.
Chu Yuanqing couldn’t bear to disappoint her, so she endured her embarrassment and suppressed the urge to tug at her skirt with her fingertips, trying hard to maintain a serious expression to show that she was listening carefully.
It’s true that Kirimi Miyuki’s criticism was correct, but as soon as she put on a short skirt, her mind went blank, let alone dancing in one.
At that moment, the fans watching the live broadcast also noticed that something was wrong:
"Is Honey Qing feeling shy? Her ears are turning red!"
"I saw her unconsciously tug at her skirt in front, so cute."
"Wait, did you notice that Honey Qing actually improved a lot yesterday, but the moment she put on a skirt, she immediately regressed!"
"Oh yeah, after wearing a skirt, her movements clearly stiffened. Maybe Honey Qing isn’t used to wearing skirts?"
"It’s quite possible. Considering Honey Qing’s difficult situation, just being able to eat and dress warmly for school is already a challenge. She probably can’t afford to buy skirts."
"Indeed, even in the photos of her working at the maid cafe, she wore a more classical maid dress. In other leaked photos, she either wore a uniform or a school uniform, not even one casual outfit."
"Oh no, stop talking, I’m about to cry. Honey Qing is so pitiful."
"Damn it, stupid live stream, why can’t we give money to the contestants."
In the live stream room, viewers successfully analyzed the reasons for Chu Yuanqing’s underperformance, and then imagined up a logical plan himself. Feeling saddened about it, he punished himself a bit before shouting even louder to support someone’s debut.
Kirimi Miyuki also isn’t stupid. She glanced thoughtfully at those long white legs and said:
"Little Qing, you seem uncomfortable in a dress. Did you forget to put on safety shorts?"
Chu Yuanqing annoyed, held her skirt and muttered:
"I did wear them, how could I not!"
After saying this, the girl’s tone softened, she adjusted her skirt nervously and said:
"I’m not used to it because I’ve never worn them before. It feels chilly down there, so insecure."
Kirimi Miyuki suddenly understood and curiously asked:
"Also, you are very cute but seem not good at acting cute."
Chu Yuanqing was speechless for a moment, feeling a mix of sadness and joy.
Good news, not being good at something is perfectly normal.
Bad news, Little Qing felt so praised that she wanted to hide away.
She looked serious and argued earnestly:
"Because society is very complicated, being too cute can make people look down on you."
Kirimi Miyuki thought these topics were too personal. She politely avoided discussing them and said seriously:
"Anyway, Little Qing, what’s important for you now is to complete your singing and dancing routine smoothly."
"To adapt early, maybe you should wear a skirt for all future practice sessions. You’ll get used to it gradually."
"As for those movements and expression control, besides experience, I think your main challenge lies in the mental aspect."
"Why don’t you try method acting?"
Still reeling from the horrifying news, Chu Yuanqing, with a puzzled expression, asked:
"Interpretation?"
Kirimi Miyuki explained:
"In the acting world, there is a method called experiential acting, where actors immerse themselves in the characters’ emotions to achieve a fuller emotional effect starting from themselves."
"I think that, even for idols, the same applies."
"Actually, nobody is perfect; because of imperfections, we waver, make mistakes, disappoint the audience who expects so much, and struggle to reach our limits."
"From the moment I first stood on stage, I knew that with just me as I am now, I wouldn’t be able to present the best performance to the audience."
Pausing for a moment, Kirimi Miyuki continued:
"But what about the future Kirimi Miyuki?"
"If it’s the national idol Kirimi Miyuki, the Kirimi Miyuki burdened with millions of fans’ expectations, the Kirimi Miyuki who has endured numerous world-class stages, surely she can do better, maybe even achieve perfection."
The girl’s eyes sparkled brightly, and her smile turned up at the corners, looking confident and perfect.
"Some things are like this, because you believe in them, because you think you can do it, so you achieve it."
"At the core, this is a form of self-hypnosis, letting go of your old habits, letting go of the superficial thoughts, letting go of the irrelevant self on the stage."
"In the end, only the purest version of you remains, purely as an idol."
"Little Qing, if you can achieve this, you will breathe in a whole new world."
