âEh, by the way, Qingqing, have the supporting stars for the performance been announced yet?â Yu Tang asked with interest. âWhoâs in your class?â
âTop secret,â Si Fuqing replied, pinching her chopsticks. âBut Lu Yanâs group got Bie Yunxi, the National First Love.â
âWhat?â Yu Tangâs anger flared instantly. âUncle Nine, you must not go to the performance!â
Yu Xi Heng looked up, his eyebrows slightly moving as he awaited her next words.
âItâs that Bie Yunxi!â Yu Tang said angrily. âHave you forgotten how she tried to flirt with you?â
Si Fuqing finally remembered why the name sounded familiar; she had heard about it from Yu Tangâs gossip.
Finally, Yu Xiheng spoke, âWho?â
Yu Tang explained, âUncle Nine, canât you remember womenâs faces, or is that why youâre still single?â
âIs it?â Yu Xihengâs tone remained even. âWell, Iâll have to see if sheâs as pretty as her.â
Following his gaze, Yu Tang exclaimed, âWow, Uncle Nine, youâre complimenting Qingqing!â
Si Fuqing, caught off guard, choked on her food. âBoss, why are you complimenting me?â
From her experience, sudden compliments usually had ulterior motives.
After all, that was how she used to trick her fellow seniors.
âFirstly, Iâm stating the truth; secondly, Iâm returning the favor,â Yu Xiheng replied, setting down his teacup with a slight smile. âLastly, your reaction is quite cute.â
Si Fuqing:
She muttered under her breath, âScheming oddball.â
Yu Xiheng looked up, smiling, âWhat did you say?
âNothing,â Si Fuqing replied seriously. âBoss, youâre wise and brave, a deity descended to earth, youâre the best.â
Yu Xiheng looked back at her, his light amber eyes unreadable, sharp yet calm, âYou flatter me.â
âThe tickets for the performance are already prepared for you,â Si Fuqing said, biting into a sweet osmanthus cake. âWhether you go or not is up to you.â
âWeâre definitely going,â Yu Tang declared loudly. âQingqing, donât worry, Iâll keep a close eye on Uncle Nine for you!â
She wouldnât let their pairing have a bad ending!
Si Fuqing hummed in agreement, âDefinitely, keep a close watch.â
Her money was on the line.
The next morning.
The supporting stars arrived at the training camp one by one.
Bie Yunxi and Ming Wenxian were the most famous; the others seemed less significant in comparison.
Inside dance room 2.
Xie Yu and the five others stood in a row.
âBy the way, I made a change in the dance I gave you,â Si Fuqing said, shaking her phone. âDonât worry, thereâs enough time. You should all be familiar with this tune.â
A piece of music started to play.
It was just the intro, but it was the kind of fiery, blood-pumping melody that ignited excitement.
Only a few seconds in, Shi Yu immediately straightened up, surprised, âA character song from âOracleâ?! â
âOracleâ was a global sensation, and this character song had won the Hera Music Award that year.
It was a collaboration between multiple singers.
However, the Chinese part was not sung by any well-known singer but by the voice acting veterans of Deity Voice.
The impact was explosive, and the song was widely popular.
âYep,â Si Fuqing nodded, snapping her fingers. âLetâs go, weâre training outside today.â
The six trainees began to gather their things.
Xu Xiyun elbow-nudged Xie Yu, âWho do you think our supporting star is? How did they get involved with the game? âOracleâ really does attract a lot of people.â
Especially since last week, when Great Xia had achieved the worldâs first clear, slapping the Western Continent in the face.
âI donât know,â Xie Yu replied nonchalantly. âWeâll find out soon enough.â
Xu Xiyun:
Hearing him was like, listening to nothing at all.
He hurried after Si Fuqing, with Xie Yu trailing behind, phone in hand, âMom, thereâs something.â
On the other end, the womanâs voice was cold, âSpit it out.â
âPlease take some time to grace Lin City with your presence and watch my debut night,â Xie Yu said sincerely, a rare occurrence. âItâs a small request from me.â
Mrs. Xie scoffed, âDreaming before itâs even dark. Do you need me to beat you to wake you up?
Xie Yu paused for a moment before slowly saying, âIâve encountered someone who might be an evolved being. Arenât you curious to see?â
The other end fell silent for a few seconds before responding, âLet me make it clear: Iâm not coming to see you, but your teacher.â
âSpeaking of my teacher, Mom, donât you ever reflect on why you didnât have a prettier daughter?â Xie Yu lamented. âI donât even have a sister to play with..
