The morning rehearsal went smoothly, and now we're just waiting for the afternoon dress rehearsal and the evening recording.

Shen Shiqing had lunch with the members of "magic". The group chatted at the table, and Gu Yu and Qi Yuan from next door also came over. Shen Shiqing remembered the two of them.

The two of them stood out quite a bit when they first met.

After the meal.

Gu Yu pulled out a Polaroid camera from behind her back, a smile on her face.

This Polaroid camera was a reward he received during a game he played on a TV show last time.

This is to commemorate the little things that have happened in the past few months.

"Teacher Shen, can we take a picture together?"

"Okay." These kids were really enthusiastic, how could Shen Shiqing refuse?

"Teacher Shen, I want one too!!!" It was Qi Yuan.

"Me too! Me too!" The noisy chatter came from the kids at Magic magazine.

"Alright, alright." Shen Shiqing smiled helplessly. "Take your time."

...

The rehearsal is scheduled for 2 p.m.

After lunch, the trainees went back to rest, to recharge for the afternoon and evening recordings.

Shen Shiqing had left something in the rehearsal room, so he went back to get it.

As Shen Shiqing approached the door, he heard singing inside. The voice was clean and refreshing, but because the music was quite energetic and the rhythm was fast, the timbre changed, making it sound a bit soothing.

However, it is very distinctive, and Shen Shiqing knew who it was as soon as he heard it.

Sang Yiming.

Shen Shiqing pushed the door open and entered. Sang Yiming was singing earnestly and was completely unaware that someone had come in.

It wasn't until he finished singing the entire song that he turned around and saw Shen Shiqing standing at the door looking at him.

"Sister Qing." Sang Yiming called out to Shen Shiqing. Shen Shiqing responded that calling him "Sister Qing" was unique to him and sounded like calling him "older sister."

"Secretly competing with each other, huh?" Shen Shiqing teased him. "It's already very good."

“But I’m still a little nervous.” Sang Yiming took a deep breath. “I’m a little afraid of messing it up.”

Shen Shiqing never expected that he, who was usually so carefree and clueless, would get nervous.

"It's okay, I believe in you. You've done a great job." Shen Shiqing almost laughed to death at his aggrieved look. No wonder this guy has so many mom fans.

Okay, Shen Shiqing admits that she is indeed feeling a bit overwhelmed by maternal instincts right now.

I've been a "mommy fan" before.

"Besides, what's there to be afraid of when I sign you?" Shen Shiqing met his puppy-dog eyes. "You won't starve."

"Sister...you're so kind, you're my only sister..."

"Stop, hold on, don't get emotional with me. Go back and rest first, there's still time for rehearsal this afternoon, it's okay."

"good."

...

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The rehearsal officially began.

According to the order of the draw, Lu Jingchu and Shi Xia's "Nana" group was the first to perform, followed by Yu Jiangnan and Qiao Juli's "Party Party", then Xia Chun and Song Zhihuai's "Flashlight", then Shen Shiqing and Xing Jianan's "Magic" group, and finally Wen Xinran and Qin Shiyue's "Comet XP" group.

The "Nana" group's rehearsal performance was outstanding; their dance and song were both incredibly smooth.

With two mentors on board, "Party Party" has no problems in any aspect.

The members of the "flashlight" group performed quite well, but Xia Chun and Song Zhihuai performed poorly. Song Zhihuai even paused the recording, wasting a lot of time.

This also caused dissatisfaction among many players and staff.

But how could the director not know Song Zhihuai's identity? He dared not say anything and could only wait.

The group performing "magic" delivered a powerful performance, with the added strength of Shen Shiqing and Xing Jianan, making the entire show incredibly exciting and explosive.

Finally, Qin Shiyue and Wen Xinran's performance of "Comet XP" was also quite good. After all, Qin Shiyue debuted as a singer and dancer, and she also gave some guidance.

Rehearsals were tiring, and Song Zhihuai's group had to do extra practice again, as requested by the contestants themselves.

They no longer rely on their guest performers.

Now I'm pinning my hopes on improving myself in a short period of time.

The rehearsal ended at 5 p.m.

After the rehearsal, everyone ate something quick and then began preparing their makeup and checking all the stage equipment to prevent any mistakes.

The dressing rooms for the trainees and the guest performers are separate.

Shen Shiqing doesn't know how to do stage makeup yet, but she's thinking that maybe she can learn it later. Having another skill is good too. She learns things quickly and is very confident in herself.

Everyone else's makeup artist had arrived, but Shen Shiqing's makeup artist hadn't come yet. She figured something might have delayed her, so she closed her eyes to rest and wait for the makeup artist to arrive.

"No way? Someone doesn't even have a makeup artist?" Xia Chun's sarcastic voice rang out.

Shen Shiqing didn't want to pay any attention to anything and just wanted to rest.

Seeing that Shen Shiqing remained silent, Xia Chun became increasingly agitated.

He then launched into another round of witty banter.

"Even a green tea b*tch wouldn't be as good as you." Shen Shiqing was really annoyed by her, not understanding why someone was so eager to get attention.

Xia Chun was about to say something when Shen Shiqing opened his eyes and stared straight at her with a sharp look in his eyes, which startled Xia Chun.

His eyes were saying, "Say one more word and I'll slit your throat."

"You...you, who are you trying to scare?!" Xia Chun straightened her back immediately. "I'm not afraid of you at all."

She's been incredibly arrogant lately, having found a new sugar daddy who's even richer and more powerful than the last one.

So lately I've been doing everything more recklessly than before.

Shen Shiqing didn't want to pay attention to her, so he closed his eyes again.

The door creaked open.

A person carrying "equipment" cautiously entered. Seeing Shen Shiqing resting with his eyes closed, he didn't call out, but silently took out his phone to take a picture and couldn't help but sigh.

"Beautiful, my baby~"

Shen Shiqing recognized the voice immediately… Only one person could speak to her in such a voice—

Jessica is all alone now.

"Hehehe, long time no see! You still recognize me? I love you so much, my darling."

"Come on...who are you calling 'darling'?" Shen Shiqing's eyes darted around. "I'm not your darling, are I, Xiao Xi?"

Shen Shiqing tilted her head and looked at him with a half-smile, her eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

"Oh, baby, why are you making fun of me too? You're so mean~" Jessica seemed to remember something, her blue-gray eyes looking at Shen Shiqing, "Xi Bao told you? Xiao Xi?"

"Who is Xi Bao?" Shen Shiqing searched his memory for people named Xi Bao, but there was no one named Xi Bao.

Could it be...?

"don't want……"

Jessica suddenly made a "shh" gesture. "His nickname is Hehehe, don't let him know I said it, or I'll definitely get...cough cough cough again."

Shen Shiqing suddenly realized something... It cannot be said, it cannot be said.

I have to say, foreigners are really open-minded.

It's not as good as it, not as good as it.

I dare not compare, I dare not compare, I absolutely dare not compare.

Shen Shiqing: I don't understand anything, I'm just a child.

Jessica: ?
