She had indeed returned.
“Alright, I won’t disturb you,” Qu Lingyun glanced at the time. “I need to go pick up the old man.”
Si Fuqing nodded.
Looking at her phone, she sighed.
Sometimes, it seemed, she needed to break away from her peaceful life.
“Teacher Si,” a staff member knocked on her door. “We need you and the other mentors to announce the rankings.”
Si Fuqing snapped back to reality, resuming her languid demeanor, “On my way.”
The overall rankings for this episode of “Youth With You” had been out since last night.
Xie Yu remained firmly in the first place, with Lu Yan falling further behind, even at risk of being surpassed by Ye Qingyou.
Xu Xiyun had successfully squeezed into the top fifteen, landing in twelfth place.
Something he hadn’t dared to dream of before.
With fifty-five contestants narrowing down to thirty-six, more than a dozen trainees would have to leave the stage.
This included Yan Yuanze, who had just scraped by in the last round.
Now ranked beyond the fiftieth place, he was directly eliminated.
Yan Yuanze began packing his things.
“Yo, packing up to leave?” Xu Xiyun crossed his arms. “Weren’t you planning to debut? How come you’re eliminated in the second round? Embarrassing.”
Yan Yuanze’s face turned red with anger, as he retorted, “Xu Xiyun, don’t get cocky!”
“I’m not cocky, I’m just happy to see you eliminated,” Xu Xiyun stuck out his tongue playfully. “Serves you right for looking down on Teacher Si and even stepping on her. You deserve it!”
Yan Yuanze, trembling with rage, retorted, ‘Your agency is about to go bankrupt. You’ll be rolling out too!”
“This isn’t your concern,” Xu Xiyun scoffed. “At least I tried.”
And that was without regrets.
Yan Yuanze glared at him hatefully, packing his bedding and quilt into his suitcase. his heart filled with regret-
If only he hadn’t insisted on leaving Si Fuqing’s class, he might have made it to the end.
But now, it was all too late.
“Brother Xie, this is a feels-good momen!” Xu Xiyun returned to the dance room. “Yan Yuanze is finally eliminated. He thought he was so great.” Xie Yu didn’t respond, busy dialing a number on his phone.
Xu Xiyun curiously asked, “Who are you calling?”
“Just checking in with my family, ” Xie Yu replied casually, “and asking someone to handle a matter.”
“Oh,” Xu Xiyun nodded. “I’ve never asked, Brother Xie, where is your family from?”
Xie Yu thought for a moment, then explained, “Well, my mom’s job involves a lot of traveling. She hardly gets to come home even once a month.”
Xu Xiyun was confused.
What kind ofjob required so much traveling?
It seemed Xie Yu had it tougher than him, wandering the world.
Trying to console him, Xu Xiyun said, “Brother Xie, you’ll be successful soon.
Don’t worry.”
Xie Yu glanced at him and shrugged.
Xu Xiyun’s way of thinking was always different from others.
Online discussions about the show were still fiery, with fans eagerly anticipating the next performance.
[Can’t Teacher Si personally appear in the next episode? I can’t wait to see what else she can do.]
[There’s nothing Teacher Si can’t handle!]
[Yes, yes, Si Fuqing does everything herself. Such a phenomenal mentor. But remember, the third performance will feature celebrities for support.. I wonder, with her limited industry connections, who can she bring to cheer for Xie Yu and the others?]
