Chapter 107

Qin Wei gave a silk scarf to Qiao Sixiao, which wrapped up the matter. After eating, they took a 20 minute break in a quiet spot before Qin Wei went back to the practice room to continue practicing.

Taking advantage of Teacher Matsuno's presence, Qin Wei asked the teacher to go over the details of the choreography with them again.

Practicing over and over, until Teacher Matsuno said: "This run through was really great. Everyone's moves were on point and there were no mistakes."

Sun Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief, took off the weights wrapped around her calves, and sat down on the floor to rest. She didn't know how many times her clothes had been soaked with sweat that afternoon.

Great, they finally did it. Everyone let out tired cheers during the break.

Qin Wei, worried they would become complacent, doused them with cold water first:

"We have to do 50 flawless runs before we can perform on stage."

Hearing this, everyone groaned again, and looked pitifully to Teacher Matsuno.

Teacher Matsuno cleared his throat, and said to them seriously:

"I don't think 50 runs will be enough..."

Everyone's faces lit up again hopefully.

"100 runs I think would be more stable."

Teacher Matsuno added.

A crushing and insulting blow.

...

Maybe because everyone placed near the bottom in the first round of eliminations, they had the determination of students on the verge of failing who knew they had to struggle. After the 50th run at the end of the day, it was already 10:30 at night.

They could keep going, but one team member had to go back for her livestream, which she should have left for long ago, but kept getting delayed for dance practice. Her livestream team had been calling her to hurry up.

Qin Wei said to everyone:

"If you really can't do it, then go back. Rest a bit on the ride home, then we can each practice the moves in our rooms. Everyone worked really hard today."

No one objected. Everyone packed up and got on the bus. Today had been terribly tiring. Although it was only a 5-8 minute ride, as soon as everyone sat down they closed their eyes to rest. No one was in the mood to chat.

The ride back was quiet...

Arriving back at the mansion, the livestream team staff immediately pushed Zhao Jun in and grabbed Qin Wei's wrist.

"Teacher Qin, help us out and come on the livestream for a bit to boost the popularity."

Qin Wei was dead tired, she just wanted to go upstairs and lie down. She had been crazily missing her little bed the whole ride back, and now it was just one flight of stairs away.

Qin Wei said to her:

"Have you heard this saying before?"

Staff:

"What? Tell me."

"That's extra."

Staff: "......"

Staff: "Teacher Qin, help us out please, begging you..." Qin Wei pointed upstairs and sighed: "Too late."

Staff: "???"

"My soul has already gone upstairs to rest."

Staff: "......"

...

"Hello everyone, I'm Qin Wei. Welcome to the livestream."

She thought she was so capable, but after the director scolded her a few times, Qin Wei caved and obediently came on the livestream.

Comments -

[Congrats to the new brand ambassador of Family D!]

[Lu E is the pride of all moms!]

[Qin Wei, fly freely, we're watching you soar!]

[Already placed my order! Looking forward to receiving Qin Fengchi Wei's work!]

The screen full of congratulations and well wishes left Qin Wei a little lost.

She read the comments one by one, and couldn't help sighing:

"Is today some kind of holiday? The haters aren't here? But still, thank you everyone for the support. I'm really grateful. I hope everyone shops rationally, no impulse buying."

[The haters are here too, everyone is just happy right now so we're not hating for the moment.]

[That's right! Want to ask how Qin feels right now?]

Qin Wei thought for a bit:

"No special feelings. Had dance practice this morning, just got back, and the first performance is coming up soon. Remember to watch!"

The livestream director was very satisfied, Qin Wei still knew to proactively promote the show.

[The performance changed to livestream plus recording, are you nervous Qin Wei?]

[Little Qin don't be nervous, just complete all the dance moves and don't go too off pitch when singing, and you'll still be the proud baby of all moms!!]

Qin Wei: "??!"

[???]

[Why are you glaring at us???]

"It's not recorded?"

Qin Wei thought back, didn't they say it was recorded when they first arrived?

[Signed a deal with the video platform, edited recordings will be member exclusives.]

[Lu E don't be nervous ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ Even if you're eliminated you're still a good baby to moms!]

[Lu E fighting!]

Qin Wei turned to look at Zhao Jun:

"The comments are calling you, come over here. I don't want to carry the popularity alone."

Zhao Jun slowly sauntered over and greeted everyone.

[How's your vocabulary study going?]

From watching the previous episodes, everyone knew this girl listened to Qin Wei and studied vocabulary when she had free time. Qin Wei thought she was hardworking and even gifted her a dictionary. [Please give the dictionary link!]

[It's not the cheapest pirated version from Pinduoduo right?]

[Little miss don't study anymore, the $1.50 pirated dictionary books are harmful.]

Qin Wei frowned:

"Why would the one I gave be pirated? Am I the kind of person who seeks tiny bargains? It was the properly licensed Foreign Languages Press edition, bought for 153 yuan and 65 cents! Supporting licensed works is everyone's duty!"

[Supporting licensed works is right, but...]

[You remember the price so clearly...]

...

They chatted and joked for a bit, were about to end the stream, when the comments suddenly all asked Qin Wei -

[Do you know Shen Kai is a guest for the 1st episode?]

Qin Wei replied:

"I just found out now."

[How do you feel?]

[Will you appear together?]

[Any chance you'll get back together?]

So Shen Kai was coming? Qin Wei didn't know about this at all.

Before she could reply, she heard a knock at the door.

Zhao Jun went to open the door first.

"Teacher Qiao?"

Zhao Jun was a bit surprised. Why was Qiao Sixiao suddenly here so late?

The comments exploded -

[Qiaoqiao! (screaming my lungs out!)]

[Qiaoqiao you came to find Weiwei!!!!!]

[Read us fanfic please!!!]

[The ship I support is here to do fanservice!! Everyone kill me to hype them!!!]

Qiao Sixiao poked her head over to look at the comments, then said to them:

"No fanservice, I'm taking Qin Wei for a run. She's visibly getting fatter. Bye bye!"

Qiao Sixiao then pulled Qin Wei out. But tonight she didn't seem like she wanted to run.

"Qiao Sixiao, I'm dead tired today. I want to go upstairs and sleep..."

Late at night Qiao Sixiao forcibly pulled her away from the mansion. She didn't go for a run, but brought Qin Wei away in a sports car instead, leaving the mansion area.

The highway was almost empty of cars late at night, plus this wasn't a main road, so Qiao Sixiao drove a bit fast. She soon heard the scaredy cat next to her say:

"Sis, drive slower, follow traffic laws..."

Qiao Sixiao looked at her disdainfully, but did slow down:

"Want to go back now?"

Qin Wei was still confused:

"Then why'd you take me out? Teacher Qiao, you don't have some terminal illness right?"
