"Sure," Jia Meirong said, appreciating her attitude. She nodded in agreement. "Let’s see who does the most exercise and who can last until the end."
"Then I’ll join in too," Qi Yue immediately spoke up.
"Count me in as well," Wu Qianqing said, even though this wasn’t her strong suit, but she was very interested.
Moreover, the atmosphere was lively now.
The four women immediately stood up and made their preparations. They waited for the instructor to arrange what came next.
Using the number of exercises each person did the most as the criterion.
The Best Actor Zheng and Best Actor Bai glanced over at them.
"They are particularly active today."
"Miss Li’s presence does indeed liven up the atmosphere," one of them said.
The women started doing sit-ups together, a set of twenty. For those who hadn’t exercised much before, managing twenty was impressive.
But for Li Xingwan and the others, it was a minor matter.
To separate the winners from the losers, the instructor deliberately added a few more sets.
The strength and stability of the group gradually began to vary.
"Ah! I can’t do it anymore," unexpectedly, Qi Yue was the first one to drop out.
The entire live stream audience: "???"
"Qi Yue is the first one out?"
"Doesn’t she regularly work out?"
"She has a professional instructor and sticks to a certain number of sets each day. She wouldn’t overdo it ."
"I thought Wu Qianqing would be the first one to drop out."
When everyone turned their attention to Wu Qianqing, they found her daydreaming to the point that she didn’t even know how many sit-ups she had done. When she heard Qi Yue say she couldn’t go on, she was momentarily dazed.
It seemed like she didn’t understand why Qi Yue had suddenly dropped out.
"Wu Qianqing actually got confused."
"Did she zone out just now?"
"What was she thinking about?"
For a moment, everyone started making jokes.
Even Zheng Shaosu glanced over and casually walked over, handing Wu Qianqing a bottle of water. "Do you want a drink of water?"
He knew that Wu Qianqing was not fond of exercising.
"I’m not thirsty," Wu Qianqing replied, lifting her head. She continued to work out with the group while Zheng Shaosu’s gaze stayed on her.
She hadn’t felt tired at first, nor did anything seem amiss, but with Zheng Shaosu’s eyes on her,
she suddenly started feeling like there was something off about her movements. Either they became stiff or she began making mistakes.
The viewers in the live chat were laughing uncontrollably.
"Guys, do you think the Movie Queen Wu is getting nervous?"
"Is it because Best Actor Zheng has been staring at her?"
"Haha! I never thought I’d see this in someone in their forties."
At first, it was fine, but gradually Wu Qianqing started to falter. She stood up and grabbed the bottle of water from Zheng Shaosu’s hand. "I can’t keep up either."
"Alright, then take a break," he said.
Only now did she feel that her waist was indeed very tired.
"Movie Queen Wu, you’re really amazing to have lasted until now," Qi Yue praised her from the side.
A hint of unnatural color appeared on Wu Qianqing’s face. She knew very well why she had been able to hold out for so long and who she had been thinking of.
She glanced at Zheng Shaosu from the corner of her eye and quickly looked away.
"Xingwan! Xingwan! Queen Jia! Queen Jia! You can do it!" Qi Yue and Wu Qianqing began cheering for Li Xingwan and the others.
Li Xingwan and Queen Jia were still going. She really needed Queen Jia to convince Movie Queen Li.
And in her heart, she was very clear that people of their stature and status didn’t like it when others intentionally went easy on them.
