Chapter 1049: Classmate Song, Please Explain

Translator: Yunyi 

The assessment continued into the middle of the night.

Whether it was the mentors or the students, they were all gasping for air.

When the last team had finished their assessment, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Song Yaoyao yawned lazily. Her curly black eyelashes trembled, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red as if they had been dyed with rouge. She was extremely beautiful.

Luo Xingguang turned around and snapped his fingers in front of her.

“Hey, wake up. Do you want to eat?”

Song Yaoyao mumbled, “I’m so sleepy.”

“Sleepy? Get up and have some fun!”

Luo Xingguang pulled her up without any explanation. “Quick, quick, wake up! Our nightlife has just begun!”

Hearing this, Song Yaoyao pushed him away in disgust.

“It’s yours, not mine.” She pinched Luo Xingguang’s wrist and commented, “Your spleen and stomach are weak, and your heart rate is abnormal. I suggest you go home now and lie down on the bed to have a good sleep.”

She yawned and walked out.

Luo Xingguang wanted to refute her, but then he remembered that Song Yaoyao really knew Chinese Medicine.

He quickly swallowed back his words and said exaggeratedly, “Song Yaoyao, are you cursing me?”

Song Yaoyao stopped in her tracks when she heard this.

Because she was sleepy, her round almond-shaped eyes were watery, making them look even brighter. She glanced at Luo Xingguang and continued walking. “I just don’t want my friend to suddenly die from staying up late.”

Luo Xingguang was speechless.

A few seconds later, he extracted a word from it.

“Haha! Song Yaoyao, admit it! I’m your friend!”

Song Yaoyao: “Idiot.”

…

The recording was very late that day.But even though the mentors were finished with their work, the trainees could not rest yet.

They were going to live together in a closed dormitory where they would also train.

Song Yaoyao didn’t know what the dormitory was like, so she watched as the girls filed out. She put her hands in the pockets of her coat and walked out slowly.

“Miss Song, how are you?”

Huo Jiu had been waiting outside the whole time. When he saw Song Yaoyao come out, he handed her her cup.

“I’m fine.” She sneezed just as she finished speaking.

She looked up with teary eyes, and her attention was attracted by a figure in front of her.

Zhongli Xue, who was so stunning a moment ago, threw herself into a man’s arms. She was quite a distance away, so Song Yaoyao couldn’t see clearly. However, she could feel the man’s affection for her. He hugged her gently and patted her head. The two of them whispered something.

“Miss Song, what’s wrong?”

Huo Jiu’s voice pulled Song Yaoyao back to reality.

She shook her head. “Nothing, let’s go back.”

“Song Yaoyao, are you sure you don’t want to eat? Aren’t you hungry?”

Song Yaoyao didn’t even turn her head. “No, you should go back to sleep too. Right away!”

She boarded her car and slammed the door.

Luo Xingguang stood outside with his hands in his pockets, smiling. “You’re not saying what you truly mean, yet you deny that you care about me.”

Although it sounded a little harsh, it came from good intentions.

So, he decided to listen to it.

…

After the first episode of the recording ended, Song Yaoyao did not pay much attention to it after that.

She had to focus on post-production work, and there was a huge pile of work that was no less than Concubine Yan.

‘The Boyfriend Next Door’ could be considered half a sci-fi drama; there were many aspects that required special effects. Song Yaoyao was a person who sought perfection. Her work did not seek the best, it sought better. Therefore, she would never let her work feature cheap special effects.

It wasn’t until the first episode of ‘Dazzling You’ was aired that she remembered it.

At that time, she was studying in her dorm to prepare for the final exams.

Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen were huddled together to watch the program.

Before this, there wasn’t even a hint on the internet about Song Yaoyao appearing on the program. It was obvious that the program team had intentionally concealed it.

With Luo Xingguang around, they didn’t have to worry about the viewership ratings at all. Since they didn’t need Song Yaoyao to pull in more popularity, they decided to keep things under wraps and give the audience a big ‘surprise’ when it officially aired!

They believed that when the audience saw Song Yaoyao, the discussions would immediately increase.

When that time came, their goal would be achieved. The goal to surpass other talent shows and to have the top viewership ratings in the country!

“It’s starting, it’s starting.”

“Where’s Luo Xingguang? I want to see Luo Xingguang!”

“I saw a picture on the internet. Luo Xingguang is so handsome, I love him so much!”

The two fangirls covered their mouths to suppress their excitement as they stared nervously at the computer screen.

However, the first ones to appear were the trainees, and the camera landed on the girls.

Wang Jiayu said enviously, “So many beautiful girls!”

Ye Meichen nodded. “I like that short-haired girl with the baby face. She’s so cute.”

Watching talent shows was all about first impressions.

And the so-called audience affinity played a huge factor. But, it was so mysterious that no one could define what it actually was.

The trainees walked into the assessment venue. There were a total of 100 seats.

At this moment, all the girls opened their mouths in unison. They covered their mouths and widened their eyes as they looked in front of them in disbelief.

The scene paused on the shocked faces. The caption read: High energy ahead!

It made Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen nervous.

“What? Do they see Luo Xingguang?”

Luo Xingguang was waiting for them in front?

The screen paused for a few seconds and played as usual.

“Is it really (bleep)?”

“It’s just someone who looks similar, right?”

“Ahhh, she’s looking at me! It really looks like her! It can’t be, right? Is (bleep) really going to participate in this talent show? This is too fake. The program team must have arranged it on purpose!”

Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen listened to their discussion and were dying of curiosity.

In the blink of an eye, the scene switched to the mentors’ lounge.

This was only a pilot episode, not the main.

But even so, it was enough for Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen to curse, “D*rn the post-production!”

What the heck was this editing?!

Who was the person they were talking about?

Song Yaoyao didn’t pay attention to the outside world as she calmly continued writing at full speed.

Until…

“Ahhh!”

“F*ck!’

Two screams sounded at the same time, scaring Song Yaoyao so much that she jumped up from her seat.

“What are you girls doing?” She puffed her cheeks.

“What are you doing?”

Ye Meichen couldn’t even speak clearly. Her hand trembled as she pointed at the screen. “Th-this person…”

“It’s me.” Song Yaoyao had an innocent look on her face. “Is there a problem?”

Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen: “…”

This was a huge problem!

“Don’t you have anything to say? Our dear Classmate Song?”

“Do I need to say anything?”

“Don’t you need to?”

“Do I need to?”

Their question was kicked around like a rubber ball.

It wasn’t until Wang Jiayu couldn’t take it anymore that she pressed the pause button. “Hold on, hold on! Yaoyao, you know what we want to know. Most importantly, how did we only find out about this after watching the program?”

This was too big of a problem!

They looked as if they had been betrayed. Song Yaoyao said, “Your expressions are very strange…”
