Ling Qianhe asked Lin Muci to play the music.
For the first playback, he did not move.
Perhaps he was adjusting to the rhythm, warming up.
Then, when the second playback began – his body started to move lightly with the music.
Ling Qianhe was truly a global top star.
His dancing level was absolutely top-tier.
As his body began to move, everyone present could not take their eyes off him.
Smooth as silk.
One could easily imagine how, if they were on stage, dancing in front of a crowd of tens of thousands, he would make the audience below erupt with excitement!
However.
The only problem was.
It was too difficult!
Indeed, during the most catchy chorus, the dance was very infectious.
It was also convenient for fans to follow along and create various challenge videos.
But the verses had many difficult, flashy parts.
It could only be said that he managed to balance the difficulty and catchiness so well.
As expected of Ling Qianhe, he choreographed a dance flawlessly, leaving even the most demanding choreographer with nothing to fault.
He shrugged his shoulders and then stood still.
"Did you learn it?"
Yang Weiyang felt like crying.
Learn it?
She had completely failed to learn.
After watching, she only had one feeling.
Her arms and legs no longer felt like her own.
Lin Muci, on the other hand, watched Ling Qianhe for two moments. She appeared very confident.
"I can do it."
As she began to dance, it was indeed perfect, with only minor flaws that were insignificant.
This speed of learning choreography made even Han Jiuzhen, a trainee of ten years, feel inferior.
Ling Qianhe walked over and said he wanted to give her pointers.
He leaned close to her ear and, in a voice only she could hear, asked her.
"Do you have a system?"
"The kind that lets you copy movements?"
"So you can create so many songs... and learn dances so quickly?"
Lin Muci's heart skipped a beat.
"No way!"
Ling Qianhe chuckled, clearly not believing her.
"That existence, it should be called a system, right? Is it male or female?"
"Is it good to you, or does it bully you?"
"Did you leave me before because of it?"
The little system trembled and began to scream frantically.
"Host, you must not tell him! Wuwuwu, I'll be punished to death by the main system like this!"
"He's trying to trick you!"
Lin Muci remained silent, and Ling Qianhe did not press her.
He smiled and taught her the movements. A few seconds later, he let go, and Lin Muci heard him softly remind her.
"It will look better on stage this way."
After teaching the dance, Chen Fei came to find him, as he had other work to do.
Yang Weiyang looked at Lin Muci, her gossipy thoughts growing stronger.
"Xiao Ci?"
"So... you and mentor Ling..."
Lin Muci hesitated.
"I and him..."
Yang Weiyang's eyes lit up.
"Did you sign some kind of contract with him, like a collaboration to create a CP?"
"After his assistant's scandal was exposed, did he want to find someone to create a CP?"
"To protect his true love?"
"That makes sense. Xiao Ci, you're young, and you're his true fan... he can control you easily. Xiao Ci, you must stand up for yourself; even if he's a top star, we're not bad either!"
"We're very popular now! We would never be a substitute for his true love, his white moonlight!"
"If we're going to be something, it should be his actual girlfriend."
Yang Weiyang said earnestly.
She was older than Lin Muci, and in her heart, Lin Muci was like a little sister!
She was afraid Lin Muci would be bullied.
Lin Muci, for a moment, didn't know how to explain the situation. Hmm—she actually wasn't, she wasn't a substitute!
She was precisely Ling Qianhe's white moonlight.
Seeing Lin Muci not responding, Yang Weiyang felt a pang of disappointment.
"Oh dear, you can't play Ling Qianhe!"
"Xiao Ci, listen to me, don't get too carried away!"
"Protect yourself, so you won't get hurt."
"There are many men who like you, including that so-called billionaire CEO Feng Yuting. Although I think he's a comedian, it wouldn't hurt to consider him as an option."
"I'm not encouraging you to be a player... it's just, you're young, you can see more of the world, there's still so much scenery out there."
"Why tie yourself to just one tree?"
"If he has a true love, a man with true love, you shouldn't pursue him!"
Lin Muci listened to Yang Weiyang's earnest lecture and could only nod obediently.
...
That evening, the official account of Times Girls released a preview of their new single.
@Times Girls: 【When the phoenix soars, when the girls shine, the future will be the most eternal.】
【@ "Immortal Realm Alliance." In the world of "Immortal Realm Alliance," the phoenix will ultimately be immortal!】
The comments below immediately surpassed ten thousand.
【Ahhh, is it the third single? Is it a preview for the third single? The third single will collaborate with "Immortal Realm Alliance"?】
【Oh my god, it's a dimension-breaking collaboration! My favorite idols and my favorite game are having a dream linkage, I really didn't expect this, it's so dreamy!】
【I heard Yang Weiyang has been doing live streams with Fei Siyu, Fei Tiantian, the ace player of "Immortal Realm Alliance," several times recently, haha. Isn't Wei Yang usually so bold? This is the first time I've seen her so shy!】
【Exactly!】
Everyone was clearly delighted.
【Who is Fei Siyu?】
Some uninformed people asked curiously.
【Is he a newly emerged TV actor?】
Fans from the e-sports circle immediately came out to explain.
【Fei Siyu, nicknamed Fei Tiantian. In person, he's refined and shy, easily embarrassed, which is why he usually didn't show his face during streams. But his gaming style is decisive, ruthless, and very clear-minded.】
【He just led the national team to win the championship this year, anyway, he's a super ace in the e-sports circle.】
【He only started showing his face these past few months, and his only live streams have been with Yang Weiyang.】
【And he blushes every time he talks to Yang Weiyang, it's really, really cute!】
The group fans hadn't heard this gossip yet.
【How did he get involved with Yang Weiyang?】
Yang Weiyang's fans also chimed in.
【How else? Yang Weiyang likes playing games, and he's an e-sports ace.】
【The funniest thing is, the first time they did a live stream, Yang Weiyang thought she had connected to a fake Fei Siyu, and she mocked him, saying his skills must be terrible.】
【But then, when they played games during the stream, he completely dominated her, and Fei Siyu achieved a ten-win streak, leaving her dumbfounded.】
【You know, her previous game record was ten losses in a row! Hehe.】
【Then Yang Weiyang challenged him in a PK match and lost again. There was nothing she could do but choose to make faces and do push-ups and sit-ups.】
【But she wouldn't admit defeat, and later continued to do live streams with him, and they became familiar with each other over time.】
Only then did everyone understand.
So there was this connection.
A popular young star and a mysterious e-sports ace, it seemed like a very good pairing.
Lin Muci saw these explanations while scrolling through the comments and her eyes lit up. Previously, it was always Yang Weiyang who gossiped about her, but now she finally had a chance to gossip about Yang Weiyang.
She called Yang Weiyang for a private chat.
"You and Fei Siyu?"
Along with a screenshot.
Happily.
Yang Weiyang sent a shy bunny emoji.
"He's quite cute... but there's nothing between him and me! I just think he's good at playing games and can carry me... I'm busy filming!"
"I don't have time for relationships at all!"
"Are men more important than work? I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to play games."
"He's a very nice person, and he even promised to log into my game account and help me improve my stats."
"I can finally go from Bronze to Diamond!"
She was truly excited.
Yang Weiyang's excitement wasn't because Fei Siyu was particularly handsome, but entirely because he could help her improve in games.
She herself wasn't particularly perceptive.
Lin Muci thought that as a professional e-sports player,
being able to help her improve her stats,
it was more than likely—certainly—he liked her, right? She continued scrolling through the comments.
【I heard Fei Siyu knows Ling Qianhe, hahaha, indeed, top stars hang out with top stars, e-sports aces and entertainment aces are friends!】
She ended her voice call with Yang Weiyang and made a call to Ling Qianhe.
"I heard you and Fei Siyu are friends?"
"Him and Yang Weiyang... what's going on?"
She was quite curious. When Lin Muci asked, Ling Qianhe paused, then replied.
"Yes, we're friends."
"He likes Yang Weiyang."
"I told him to pursue her."
It was quite concise.
But Lin Muci was excited.
"He likes her?"
"Are you sure?"
Ling Qianhe affirmed with a hum.
"It's to the point of love at first sight."
"It's good that he likes her, so Yang Weiyang won't always pester you and cling to you. Isn't it better for her to find a boyfriend?"
The subtext was also very clear.
No one else is allowed to snatch my wife from me!
My wife can only be mine.
"Later he will also appear on a variety show with Yang Weiyang. That way, we can spend time together."
"He should be successful in pursuing Yang Weiyang. His family background is very good, e-sports is just his hobby, he is the behind-the-scenes owner of the team, and he also has investments in 'Immortal Realm Alliance'."
Lin Muci refuted him.
"That's not necessarily true. Wei Yang doesn't place much importance on wealth, and she's not short of money herself!"
She was already a popular young star.
She might not be interested in a wealthy family.
Ling Qianhe smiled.
"In any case, there's no harm in him failing."
"Consider it introducing a friend to Yang Weiyang."
Lin Muci propped her chin, lost in thought. Ling Qianhe smiled, his voice much gentler.
"Fei Siyu likes Yang Weiyang."
"I like you."
"Isn't that good?"
Lin Muci glared at him.
"Why are you arranging things so carelessly? Liking someone, is that something that can be arranged?"
Ling Qianhe, however, said.
"Didn't I just fall for you?"
He leaned closer to the screen, and through the screen, Lin Muci could seem to see the light in his eyes, as if he had seen through everything.
"I know."
"You must have come for me."
"And I am infatuated with you, love you."
"Even if it's a scheme, I'm willing."
Even if she was arranged to find him.
Even if she had to stay by his side for some mission.
And make him fall in love with her.
He didn't care.
As long as she didn't leave.
He would do anything!
