Chapter 125

The program team did not pay as much attention to this assessment as the previous ones, but they did not cancel it either. Instead, they asked each group to send a representative to draw lots. The person who draws would need to fully perform the part they danced in the dance.

Group D decided to send Qin Wei to draw lots, but Qin Wei flatly refused.

"I can't do it. I'm always the unlucky one. Don't consider me for things like drawing lots."

Sun Tiantian was about to laugh from anger:

"You say you're unlucky? You used to be the darling of the fashion world, one of the top ten people favored by God. If this is considered unlucky, then we can say that we have had a rough life."

Qin Wei shook her head:

"You said it yourself, that was in the past. Fashion...it was quite fashionable indeed. My real taste is my T-shirt... Unfortunately I can't find it anymore. Let's not mention it anymore, the glory days are over."

Li Siyi stroked her head and smiled:

"I'll let you go and you can rest assured to go. No matter who you draw, we'll accept it. Go on, and when you come back, I'll buy you clothes. That piece you lost, as long as there are some for sale, I'll buy it for you.”

The other teammates also nodded in agreement, which reassured her.

"Then I'll go."

Qin Wei said, then took the pen and wrote a lot of words on the paper, and handed it to Li Siyi,

"The store for the clothes is this one, I wear size S."

Sun Tiantian: "..."

The staff member brought over the ballot box. Qin Wei reached in and groped around, then took out a card.

She glanced at the name on it and couldn't help frowning.

"What's the matter?"

Li Siyi asked.

Qin Wei turned the card around, and two words were written on it—

Youyou

The more you don't want to get involved, the closer you end up inexplicably...

It just so happened that she had a stomachache this morning. Li Siyi saw that she didn't look well and told her to rest a little more and come later. 𝘧𝑟𝓮𝓮𝓌𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝑚

Li Siyi asked the staff member:

"Can we switch people? Otherwise I'll replace her?"

The program team discussed it for a while and shook their heads.

This assessment score will affect the stage performance order. It is still for fairness that switching people is not allowed.

Since the rules were clear, they could not be violated.

Qin Wei asked the program team:

"So what should I do?"

The answer she received was a suggestion to give up.

Qin Wei refused:

"It's not okay to perform the opening dance, but to say I give up just like that is unacceptable. Give me a phone and let me ask Youyou's opinion."

On this point the program team readily agreed, made the call to Youyou and then gave the phone to Qin Wei.

"Youyou, this is Qin Wei."

A somewhat weak voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Sister..."

"The program team drew lots to decide who will participate in the assessment. I'm very sorry that I drew you. We know you're not feeling well today, and we've discussed replacing with the program team, but they're also in a difficult position in the name of fairness.

The nine of us discussed and decided that we should still listen to your decision. Giving up is not a problem either. Even as the opening dance, we will still be very hyped."

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and it took Youyou a full half minute before she said:

"Wait for me half an hour, I'll be right there."

...

When Group 5's performance was almost over, Youyou arrived. Her complexion was clearly not very good, her face was pale, and her lips lacked color too.

Seeing her come in, her teammates came up one after another to ask her what was wrong. Youyou barely kept her spirits up and said she was fine, then stood aside to adjust her state for a moment, then went up on stage to perform.

The whole performance was only a minute, but for Youyou it felt very long, but fortunately she held on until the end when everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Tiantian thoughtfully brought in a chair from outside for her to sit on.

When it came to the review stage, Chen Chen and Song Ye did not give comments, but let Gu Minghua review. But they nodded to Youyou to let her know she had done well.

Gu Minghua said:

"I know you're not feeling well today, so singing while dancing must have been a bit of a stretch for you. I won't critique your breathing and voice, your pitch was on the whole sufficient, regarding the rhythm you could have slowed down but it was OK. From the perspective of a professional musician, it was no good today. But leaving all that aside, that you were able to come, I am already pleasantly surprised."

Teacher Gu's kindness has spread throughout the program team, and seeing it today, lives up to reputation.

Youyou was also warmed by it, constantly thanking Teacher Gu for her comments.

And so the assessment ended.

Twelve o'clock.

Qin Wei looked up at the clock on the wall.

Sun Tiantian was not surprised by this at all:

"Wei Wei went to eat again."

But instead Qin Wei turned to look at Youyou:

"Why don’t you have fresh meat wontons for lunch? I'll go get them for you.”

"Huh?"

Youyou didn't object. Qin Wei jogged to the cafeteria, and as she walked out with a tray, she bumped into Qiao Sixiao. She had wanted to pretend she didn't see her and hurry away, but Qiao Sixiao called her:

"Wow, if you take it back to the practice room I won't get to see you eat! Qin Wei, have some consideration."

"What's wrong with me caring for my junior? Qiao Sixiao, take care of yourself."

Qin Wei shot back at her, then rushed away and returned to the practice room where only Youyou was alone.

"Sorry to keep you waiting! Try this quickly!"

Qin Wei put it in front of her, then handed her the ladle and chopsticks,

"This chef cooks very well. I had it once and dreamed about eating it that night. I know you guys are all afraid of getting fat, so didn't get much."

Youyou was somewhat touched:

"You went through so much trouble for me, sister, even getting me a meal... You're such a nice person. I'm very happy to be grouped with you already, and now you even take care of me. I'm so blessed!"

"Bah! If I hadn't drawn you in the draw, you wouldn't have had to come today. It’s nothing, easy as lifting a hand. Who made you give me a meal before too..."

Qin Wei paused,

"When I was hungriest."

It took Youyou a moment to remember what Qin Wei was referring to. She replied:

"It was also easy as lifting a hand! Paying it forward! But I should also thank Sister Liu Xin. If it wasn't for her reminder, I wouldn't have thought to bring meals for you sisters at all... I probably would have gotten to know you much later, Sister..."

Reminded by Liu Xin...

So that was it.

As for Youyou...

Qin Wei didn’t know if she was aware or not. But before this they had no grievances.

Let it be like this. It was very difficult for her to doubt someone who fit her aesthetic standards.

This was probably human nature's weakness...

Youyou didn't know what Qin Wei was thinking. She lowered her head to eat a wonton, then pointed at it in surprise:

"Sister, this fresh meat wonton really tastes good! The soup is very flavorful, the skin tender and it has a slightly crispy, bouncy texture too. Amazing!"

"I know, right!"

Happy that the wontons she recommended were endorsed, Qin Wei felt proud of herself and smugly said,

"If the chef is willing to open a restaurant, I'm willing to invest. No need for profit sharing, just give me a bowl of wontons every day and I'll be able to eat it my whole life."

After speaking she couldn't help swallowing.

Youyou was astonished for a moment, then pointed at the lunchbox in front of Qin Wei:

"Then why are you eating salad..."

Qin Wei sighed while pouring vinegar into the bowl with her fork, mixing:

"Someone said I got fat. The more I try not to care, the more I end up caring. Might as well lose some weight. After the performance ends I'll let myself go again!"
