She had indeed returned.
âAlright, I wonât disturb you,â Qu Lingyun glanced at the time. âI need to go pick up the old man.â
Si Fuqing nodded.
Looking at her phone, she sighed.
Sometimes, it seemed, she needed to break away from her peaceful life.
âTeacher Si,â a staff member knocked on her door. âWe need you and the other mentors to announce the rankings.â
Si Fuqing snapped back to reality, resuming her languid demeanor, âOn my way.â
The overall rankings for this episode of âYouth With Youâ had been out since last night.
Xie Yu remained firmly in the first place, with Lu Yan falling further behind, even at risk of being surpassed by Ye Qingyou.
Xu Xiyun had successfully squeezed into the top fifteen, landing in twelfth place.
Something he hadnât dared to dream of before.
With fifty-five contestants narrowing down to thirty-six, more than a dozen trainees would have to leave the stage.
This included Yan Yuanze, who had just scraped by in the last round.
Now ranked beyond the fiftieth place, he was directly eliminated.
Yan Yuanze began packing his things.
âYo, packing up to leave?â Xu Xiyun crossed his arms. âWerenât you planning to debut? How come youâre eliminated in the second round? Embarrassing.â
Yan Yuanzeâs face turned red with anger, as he retorted, âXu Xiyun, donât get cocky!â
âIâm not cocky, Iâm just happy to see you eliminated,â Xu Xiyun stuck out his tongue playfully. âServes you right for looking down on Teacher Si and even stepping on her. You deserve it!â
Yan Yuanze, trembling with rage, retorted, âYour agency is about to go bankrupt. Youâll be rolling out too!â
âThis isnât your concern,â Xu Xiyun scoffed. âAt least I tried.â
And that was without regrets.
Yan Yuanze glared at him hatefully, packing his bedding and quilt into his suitcase. his heart filled with regret-
If only he hadnât insisted on leaving Si Fuqingâs class, he might have made it to the end.
But now, it was all too late.
âBrother Xie, this is a feels-good momen!â Xu Xiyun returned to the dance room. âYan Yuanze is finally eliminated. He thought he was so great.â Xie Yu didnât respond, busy dialing a number on his phone.
Xu Xiyun curiously asked, âWho are you calling?â
âJust checking in with my family, â Xie Yu replied casually, âand asking someone to handle a matter.â
âOh,â Xu Xiyun nodded. âIâve never asked, Brother Xie, where is your family from?â
Xie Yu thought for a moment, then explained, âWell, my momâs job involves a lot of traveling. She hardly gets to come home even once a month.â
Xu Xiyun was confused.
What kind ofjob required so much traveling?
It seemed Xie Yu had it tougher than him, wandering the world.
Trying to console him, Xu Xiyun said, âBrother Xie, youâll be successful soon.
Donât worry.â
Xie Yu glanced at him and shrugged.
Xu Xiyunâs way of thinking was always different from others.
Online discussions about the show were still fiery, with fans eagerly anticipating the next performance.
[Canât Teacher Si personally appear in the next episode? I canât wait to see what else she can do.]
[Thereâs nothing Teacher Si canât handle!]
[Yes, yes, Si Fuqing does everything herself. Such a phenomenal mentor. But remember, the third performance will feature celebrities for support.. I wonder, with her limited industry connections, who can she bring to cheer for Xie Yu and the others?]
