one

Xu Qingying hurriedly stood up, casually grabbing the red cloak from the ground and draping it over herself, without even changing out of her training outfit, and rushed towards the door

Qing Ying, I need to speak to you seriously about something

"I was wrong, truly wrong, and I will never do this again." Xu Qingying wished she could raise both hands in surrender. Peng Peng was good at everything, but during such moments, he was too serious, which put a lot of pressure on her

"Xu Qingying, do not get distracted! Quickly keep up with the movements!" The dance teacher approached and gently reprimanded.

Peng Peng's incessant murmuring continued, and Xu Qingying couldn't help but take out her phone, wanting to do something to pass the time. However, upon glancing at the screen, the large 7:20 felt like a bucket of ice water poured directly over her, instantly waking her from her previous daze.

Peng Peng waved his hand after speaking, signaling everyone to disperse. He then took hold of Xu Qingying's hand beside him, indicating that she should wait to leave later.

Be mindful of your positioning and avoid colliding with the people beside you. Wang Anqi, please move a little further to the right

Xu Qingying watched as Su Miaona was the last to leave the room, unable to hold back her tears as she looked at her pleadingly, wishing for a dynamic image of hands clasped in prayer to appear above her head. However, Su Miaona merely shrugged to indicate her helplessness before leaving, thoughtfully closing the door tightly behind her

At this moment, beneath the sailboat—considered to be in the third-class cabin—a large mirror is placed against a backdrop of blue sky and white clouds. High-wattage incandescent lights illuminate the entire room, making it impossible to discern the actual time of day outside.

Peng Peng is about to conduct ideological education again The little person in Xu Qingying's heart is already crying

Xu Qingying quickly retracted her thoughts and immersed herself in the dance

Xu Qingying, your hand is not raised to your ear, raise it a little higher

Here it comes, here it comes, the first line of the dedicated script for Peng Peng Education is here!

Xu Qingying tried her best to immerse herself in the music, but after rehearsing for a full nine hours, she found herself unable to even smile now

"Today's rehearsal ends here. I hope everyone can maintain this state in the evening as well," the teacher said, pushing open the glass door of the practice room and leaving.

It seemed as if she could hear her complaints. Peng Peng was the first to stand up, looking down at the others. The sound of conversation gradually diminished, eventually giving way to silence

Xu Qingying could only silently give her a thumbs up in her heart; her physical strength was as if she had consumed a miraculous potion every day, something she could not compare to

This is the headquarters of Akimoto Company, as well as the place where countless young boys and girls' dreams begin

Not far away, on the precious Golden Triangle, a four-story building shaped like a sailboat is still illuminated. The sailboat-like lines make it appear as if a giant vessel is about to set sail. In front of the building stand three tall flagpoles, resembling straight masts, with white flags hanging like the raised sails.

The dance teacher shook her head helplessly and glanced at Peng Peng

You must be clear about your position and absolutely must not make any mistakes. Perhaps there are those who are waiting for you to make a mistake to seize the opportunity to undermine our group

Forget it, just look at my dark circles; this is the undeniable evidence

Amidst the stirring background music, a female voice suddenly emerges, resonating throughout every corner of the room

Then, as the teacher said, let's gather for training at six thirty in the evening. Peng Peng looked at the fatigue on the faces of the team members and added softly, The dream is about to be realized, we just need to take this last step. I hope we can all work hard together to get through it. We will have the spotlight, fans, support, and concerts, all of it.

As the music played, Xu Qingying turned slightly, her gaze falling once again on Peng Peng in the left rear. The ever-present height-increasing bow tied to her head had become a significant burden, and her eyes were fixed on the practice mirror in front of her, though at this moment her attention was scanning the members.

Seeing Peng Peng, who was momentarily stunned as the door closed, Xu Qingying pointed to her phone and said: "Dear Captain, I have a class during the first period this morning, and if I don't leave now, I will be late. I will come early in the evening to listen to your guidance, I promise. Oh, and please let the manager know that I will return by myself after class, no need to pick me up!" After saying this, she made a stylish turn and ran towards the taxi parked not far away, carrying her backpack.

Everyone has done very well, and it has been hard to persist through all-night rehearsals said the dance teacher, looking at the young girls who had gone from spirited to exhausted, and smiled. However, you must understand that in two days, it will be our Pinkgirls' first participation in a television music program, and if you do not practice well, all of this will be in vain

The teacher's words were like a stone thrown into the heart of a lake, stirring up ripples in Xu Qingying's heart. Originally aspiring to be an actress, she inadvertently ended up in a girl group, and the day after tomorrow will be the first time the girl group stands under the spotlight of a television station, facing countless cameras for scrutiny.

She quietly glanced at Su Miaona, who was standing behind her on the right, through the mirror. Su Miaona's long hair, damp with sweat, was tied back into a ponytail with a white lace band, revealing her smooth and fair forehead. Dressed in a blue dance outfit, she was gracefully following the teacher's movements. Although she had heavy dark circles under her eyes, her gaze was fixed intently on the person in the mirror, as if she could see no one else but herself.

The chattering noise quickly filled the entire practice room, and Xu Qingying's masked face had long since gone numb. She mumbled, "Come on, what is there to talk about? The key now is to go home and get a good night's sleep!"

Alright, turn in circles following my gestures, yes, turn once more

The dawn in Shangdu is quite different from its usual hustle and bustle, as a suffocating gray-blue hue envelops this still-unawakened city, causing all vibrancy to fade away. There are no pedestrians, no sounds of vehicles, and no whispers of the wind; only scattered streetlights cast a dim yellow glow, standing alone and resolutely in place, guarding this tranquility

With a crisp sound of "pa", Xu Qingying seemed to hear the door of hope closing

After the final freeze-frame action, the sixteen individuals fell to the ground without even bothering to separate, sprawling haphazardly across the rubber floor they had traversed countless times

Seeing that both of them had gotten up, the other girls had no choice but to rise from the burgundy floor, lifting their heads to await the next round of comments from their dance instructor.

Qing Ying, do you know that you are the center of our Pinkgirls? Your missteps or lack of precision in movements can lead everyone to believe that our team has made mistakes in the performance. Especially when you lose focus, once the camera captures it on stage, what will the audience think? What kind of headlines will the news reports use?

Oh. Xu Qingying pouted, reluctantly getting up, after all, one must still give face to the captain

I feel the same way; now it seems that even the elixir of the gods cannot save the large pores on my face

Until the teacher's figure disappeared, Tiantian, with her double ponytails, could not help but cry out loudly: "Ah, do we still have to practice tonight? I feel like my legs are going to swell up like radishes."

Xu Qingying hung her head low, displaying a very ashamed demeanor. She understood that only by having a good attitude in admitting her mistakes could she help Peng Peng calm down more quickly

Just now, Peng Peng, who was sprawled out in a "big" shape, immediately sat up and reached out to pat Xu Qingying on the shoulder, saying: "Sit properly"

Oh no! Xu Qingying quickly averted her gaze, having accidentally made eye contact with her.

In the brief three minutes and ten seconds of the song, the sixteen individuals reflected in the mirror have already changed formations at least eight times. The only constant is the girl in the center wearing a white mask, who is also the focal point surrounded by these sixteen people—Xu Qingying

Transform, Xu Qingying

"Master, please go to Gyeongnam University," Xu Qingying said from the back seat while opening her makeup bag
