The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 156

Actually, although the teammates were keeping their distance, they had been paying attention to the happenings here the whole time!

As soon as Nan XiangWan put down her tablet, everyone else swarmed over.

Ge Dongxuan was the most eager: "Let me see, let me see! Just from hearing the melody, I could tell it sounded so good I couldn't stand it."

Yun Qian: "Wow! This part is written so well!"

Deng Si Nan: "XiangWan, you're so talented!"

Danmu (real time commenting) -

: Yo mama! Show us too!

: We want to see it too!

: Waited two hours without a single word shown to us!

: Anxious! The girl's anxious!

: Forget the variety show, get back to Shang Hai to record songs! I want to listen!

: Want to listen! Want to listen!

...

The danmu was blown up.

Nan XiangWan took a deep breath and said, "I'm done writing, I provided two songs, the rest is up to you."

Sha Ling: "Ah..."

Zhou Wenxia: "One song each for us?"

Yun Qian: "You're asking for my life, I can't compose!"

Nan XiangWan put her hands behind her head and leaned back.

She lifted her chin with a roguish look: "Beg me, and I'll write for you."

Yun Qian immediately got close and clung on: "XiangWan~~ You're the best! Lun Jia doesn't know how to compose~!"

Deng Si Nan also came over, putting her arms around Nan XiangWan: "XiangWan, you know my expertise is in stage drama, I haven't tried composing before~~"

Ge Dongxuan: "Ugh! You two are so gross!"

Hua Yuanwu really couldn't stand watching anymore, and scolded them: "Alright! The shop's about to close!"

Server: "No, we're not..."

Hua Yuanwu interrupted: "Pack up, we're going back! Nan XiangWan, you haven't done your homework yet!"

Nan XiangWan: "..."

The group packed up their things, carrying guitars as they left the cat cafe.

The server saw them off at the door, reluctant to part: "Come back tomorrow? Our shop's little kitties welcome you! Jiǎo lì shāo nǚ (silly girls), go for it!"

Nan XiangWan: "???"

Ge Dongxuan: "Why silly?"

Zhu Sha: "Tiān mìng's other name, you gotta admit, you two are close."

Ge Dongxuan: "Why's it related to me? How am I silly?"

Zhou Wenxia: "Ever since you and Nan XiangWan created those two silly birds, and the Silly Group got famous, our group's become known as the Silly Group!"

Yun Qian: "I can attest, this is true."

The rain had stopped, and the group chatted as they walked.

By the time they got back to the lodging, the sky had darkened.

Since the group was made up of girls, the director team kept a close eye on them, not allowing them to wander around outside after dark.

The livestream audience felt relieved to hear that!

Who's saying the director team's no good?

This is clearly necessary!

Otherwise with Nan XiangWan and Ge Dongxuan's temperaments, if they went out who knows if they'd even come back?

No way!

It'd take all night to find them!

After getting back to the lodging, Nan XiangWan sat in the lobby.

Next to her was the innkeeper, handing her some butter tea: "Summer's almost here but not quite, have some hot tea."

Nan XiangWan stared at him: "Boss, got anything to eat?"

Innkeeper: "Didn't you all just eat?"

Nan XiangWan corrected: "We finished eating at 5, now it's already 9!"

Innkeeper: "???"

Just then, Director Hua Yuanwu handed over a big bag of food, with lots of meat strips that could fill you up.

As soon as Nan XiangWan saw the meat strips her face twisted up!

Hua Yuanwu: "What's with that expression? Where am I going to get you food this late, these meat strips are delicious, they're a local specialty here."

Nan XiangWan: "I don't like eating them."

Hua Yuanwu: "You've never even tried them, how do you know you don't like them!"

Nan XiangWan: "Ate too much of this dried meat before, don't want it anymore."

Hua Yuanwu: "If you don't eat it, forget it! Do your homework on an empty stomach!"

Nan XiangWan: "Empty stomach it is! I'm going to sleep!"

With that she really left without even trying the meat strips, going back to her room to sleep.

There were four rooms total, with the other teammates paired up, and Nan XiangWan had her own single room.

Since the other teammates were all adults, they might stay up late messing around.

Nan XiangWan was still growing, so sleep was more important, thus the show arranged it this way.

Hua Yuanwu stared in disbelief as Nan XiangWan left.

"Really not eating?"

He opened up one of the meat strip packets and took a bite.

It had a nice chewy texture!

And was so filling!

He went through the effort of buying this nice stuff, yet the kid didn't want it!

Danmu (real time commenting) -

: Director Hua's expression is full of disbelief!

: XiangWan's not the big eater XiangWan I know anymore?

: I know why Nan XiangWan isn't eating! Because on marches they eat these kinds of rations, and she went to military school before right, must've participated in camp activities as a kid and eaten a lot.

: I was gonna say the same, military rations are mostly compressed biscuits and dried meat!

: But these meat strips really are delicious, and come in all kinds of flavors!

: Eat it daily and you'll want to hurl no matter how tasty!

: Suddenly feeling sorry for XiangWan!

...

In her darkened room, Nan XiangWan washed up and lay in bed, her stomach growling.

Actually the speculation from fans in the danmu was half right.

It was true that because of past marching and combat experience, she had eaten a lot of it.

Not only that, in their world they had dried meat strips but also dried meat powder, and the powder was easier to get down when mixed with hot water.

But compared to the meat here, what she ate before had much stronger, fishier tastes!

But the real reason she recoiled wasn't because she was tired of eating it.

It was that the meat strips reminded her of her past life.

They made Nan XiangWan feel somewhat lost in thought, nostalgic.

But she only felt confused for a short while before flipping over and falling asleep!

--------------

The next morning at 6 AM.

The livestream equipment was set up, the lobby tidied up, and a blanket even laid out.

Not every audience member rises early, only the ones used to working out with Nan XiangWan's morning routine livestreams were present.

Danmu (real time commenting) -

: I slept early last night, can someone who was up late watching share what happened?

: Hehe! Was up all night!

: Who was up all night?

: Ge Dongxuan! Literally Nan XiangWan #2!

: Last night at midnight, Ge Dongxuan wanted to go out clubbing with Deng Si Nan hahaha!

: Wow really? What happened next? Did they go?

: Caught by the director team and dragged back! Ge Dongxuan argued the fact that they're already 20! Adults! Wanted to go out drinking and clubbing!

: Hahahaha! What was Director Hua's reaction?

: Hua was already asleep, had to crawl out of bed in the middle of the night to lecture them hahaha!

: Too funny! Later Ge Dongxuan went to Yun Qian's room, the three of them played cards all night!

: Is this real lmao!

: Those three must've just gotten to sleep, I saw Yun Qian go back to her room at 5:30 AM!

: This group is too wild!

: Too bad Nan XiangWan's not an adult yet, otherwise I feel the director team would be even more exhausted hahaha!

: She's here! Nan XiangWan's daily morning workout starting!

: The kid didn't eat last night, does she have the energy to workout now?

: Aside from being drunk, Nan XiangWan won't pause her morning routine!
