After the comments were given, it was time for the on-site voting.

Although Song Qi received a good response here, as someone with only a small group of fans, she never thought she could win in this round.

The person who wins the vote in each group this time will be able to participate in the opening dance of the next episode.

Of the six people, Song Qi ranked second.

Song Qi was a little surprised, but she quickly calmed down. She guessed that it was voted for her by people whose idols weren't performing in this group.

After stepping off the stage, Song Qi saw the other two members of the team smile at him, but their smiles looked somewhat stiff.

She's still young and can't hide her emotions well.

Everyone thought she was at the bottom, but who knew she would turn out to be a dark horse.

Song Qi returned to the lounge and exchanged some pleasantries with the people he didn't know well. Then he found a seat in a corner and tried to minimize his presence.

Shu Wangyue turned around and glanced at Song Qi, wanting to go over and say something, but she held back.

Now is not the time.

"I'm warning you, behave yourself in this world," the system NP said.

Shu Wangyue was startled by the system's voice. She responded, looked at the screen, and sighed inwardly.

Song Qi rested her chin on her hand, staring at the screen, lost in thought.

She actually hoped she would be eliminated, since she couldn't even play on her phone in this godforsaken place. In the previous two worlds, although the beginnings were also quite bland, at least the male lead and the villainous female supporting character had appeared.

I wonder who the male lead is this time, and whether he'll be another goofball.

They persevered until the very end of the show, when all of them had to return to the stage to compete for the most popular group of the night.

This award seems to have nothing to do with Song Qi and his group; most of the top-ranked people are paired with Shu Wangyue.

Song Qi was already standing in a corner, and when everyone else stood on the stage, she was even more out of the way. Luckily, the stage was big enough, otherwise she probably would have fallen off.

Since no one asked her, Song Qi didn't know where to look, so she simply stared at where her fans were.

She continued to daydream, and because she usually had no expression, no one could tell that she was lost in thought.

"Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever really followed the female lead's persona." Song Qi suddenly realized this.

System NZ said sarcastically, "You're only just noticing?"

Song Qi: ...

“Originally, we wanted to have high expectations of you, but now we just need the plot to go smoothly.” System NZ sighed. After meeting Song Qi, its and the evaluation system’s bottom line has been lowered again and again, after all, this person’s identity is special.

Song Qi's lips twitched; he wanted to say something, but ultimately held back.

The moment she opens her mouth, that lousy system will probably start endless complaining.

Hearing the people around her start clapping, she immediately raised her hand as well, like a puppet.

The recording lasted for five or six hours, and when Song Qi returned, he felt like his body was about to fall apart.

As she was going upstairs, someone bumped into her, and Song Qi lost her footing and almost fell.

"Oh, are you alright? I'm sorry, I didn't see you."

Song Qi looked at the girl who was speaking. Judging from her expression, it was obvious that she was doing it on purpose. She didn't bother to find out why this person had bumped into her for no reason. The fact that the female lead had the ability to attract the villainous female supporting character could explain everything.

This person seems to be named Shi Xinyu, currently ranked fifth, and is also a young lady from a wealthy family.

She rubbed her arm, which was still sore from the impact, and glanced at the other person's slightly raised chin: "Have you considered going to see an ophthalmologist?"

Shi Xinyu's expression froze.

Song Qi was about to leave when someone grabbed her wrist: "What do you mean by this?!"

People who were about to leave stopped instantly and turned around to look.

Although Lu Nanyin was previously relatively unknown, Song Qi had just gained attention, so many people still remembered her.

Song Qi's face showed just the right amount of fear and panic, and his voice was softer and trembling: "It's nothing. You didn't see me, a grown man, in front of you, so I asked you to go to the hospital to get checked out. After all, everyone has been working so hard lately, who knows what might happen?"

Shi Xinyu stared at Song Qi's face, her words clearly sarcastic, but looking into her innocent little eyes, it seemed she was genuinely worried about her.

Song Qi looked at her, her eyes reddening.

System NZ: Awesome!

"What are you doing? Blocking the stairs, are you trying to prevent people from moving?" Shu Wangyue's voice, tinged with displeasure, came from downstairs. The people who had been waiting to watch the show on the stairs immediately started moving, very quickly.

Shu Wangyue strolled up slowly, glanced at the hand on Song Qi's wrist, and then quickened her pace considerably. She reached Song Qi's side, frowned, and said, "Shi Xinyu, this isn't the Shi family home. Why are you putting on this act?"

Song Qi glanced at Shu Wangyue and forcefully pulled his hand away.

A red mark has appeared on my wrist.

"What's it to you?" Shi Xinyu looked at Shu Wangyue, her disgust in her eyes was all too obvious.

Song Qi glanced at the two of them, rubbed his wrist, and turned to leave.

If I had known it would be this troublesome, I wouldn't have said anything.

She wasn't interested in the ensuing argument between the two of them; she'd rather go eat early.

Shu Wangyue and Shi Xinyu didn't get along to begin with, and although they didn't speak to each other, they hadn't broken off their relationship.

After their battle in the stairwell, they became bitter enemies and subtly split into two factions among the trainees, each led by one of them.

Song Qi was a third faction that remained outside the main group.

Although she was the instigator of the stairwell brawl, no one remembered her afterward.

Unfortunately, in the next performance, Song Qi was assigned to the same group as Shi Xinyu.

As soon as she entered the classroom, she felt the unusually unfriendly gazes of several people.

Song Qi greeted them, but no one paid any attention to her. She calmly sat down on the ground and looked at them.

Everyone fell silent.

In the end, it was Shi Xinyu who broke down first.

She discovered that Song Qi's skin was even thicker than she had imagined.

Time is very tight.

The focus of this episode is dance; there are only movements, no singing required.

Song Qi's position was even more awkward. She calculated that 90% of the time, she was in the very back, and the audience in front had to be able to turn their eyes to see her.

She always felt that when she watched the videos before, everyone was basically separated.

It's obvious that this situation has occurred because someone has sabotaged it.

Song Qi didn't ask any further questions.

"Lu Nanyin, can you be serious for once?" Shi Xinyu shouted for the 300th time.

"Is there something wrong with my movements?" Song Qi asked as she demonstrated the dance moves she had just performed.

No problem at all; there were some details that Shi Xinyu couldn't see.

Shi Xinyu looked at Song Qi for a long while, then said dryly, "I can't see any motivation."

"Next time you want to cause trouble, use your brain first. Find something wrong with me before you speak, otherwise it'll be really awkward." Song Qi walked to the side, picked up a glass of water, and took a sip. Sure enough, it was impossible not to roast someone.

Shi Xinyu's expression froze: "Who wants to cause you trouble?"

"Yes, it wasn't you, it was someone else." Song Qi said casually, making Shi Xinyu's expression even more awkward.

"You guys practice first, I'm going to eat." Song Qi picked up his coat from the ground.

Shi Xinyu blocked her way: "We're not done yet, and you're already leaving?"

“There’s no way to put it together now. I’ve already memorized the movements, and I can slowly work through them in the remaining days. Or, would you like me to teach you?” Song Qi looked at Shi Xinyu, his words carrying a hint of barely perceptible arrogance.

Shi Xinyu stared at Song Qi. Although there was no change in his eyes, she was still very angry.

“Yes, stay and teach us,” Shi Xinyu said.

The others looked at Shi Xinyu as if they had seen a ghost.

Song Qi raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Are you sure? I'm very strict."

“We are a team. If you don’t help us, who will?” Shi Xinyu said confidently.

Song Qi put down what he was holding: "Alright then."

Over the next hour, Shi Xinyu and the others truly understood what strictness meant; there was absolutely no way they could slack off.

It was as if Song Qi had eyes in the back of her head; the moment they relaxed, the other party would look over with her emotionless eyes.

Most importantly, whenever they tried to talk back, they would glance at Song Qi and immediately shut their mouths, not daring to say anything.

The other party clearly didn't do anything.

I felt like I'd seen a ghost.

"It's already twelve o'clock, can we eat now?" Song Qi looked at the few people slumped on the ground, rubbed his shoulders, and finished a bottle of water.

Shi Xinyu looked up at Song Qi and weakly replied, "Mm."

"Then I'm leaving." Song Qi waved to Shi Xinyu and slowly walked out.

As soon as Song Qi left, the remaining people immediately began to complain.

"She did that on purpose!"

"My legs are about to break."

"That's going too far."

"Words from the heart?"

Shi Xinyu glanced at the person who spoke, her face darkening. She rubbed her leg, clearly not wanting to say anything.

Although I want to complain, I can't find any other things to complain about. They really didn't do a good job and they wanted to slack off.

Shi Xinyu felt a little annoyed when she thought of the look in Song Qi's eyes.

"Let's go eat." Shi Xinyu stood up, supporting herself on the ground, and glanced at the other people sitting on the ground.

The group exchanged glances, and seeing that Shi Xinyu wasn't going to complain, they also shut their mouths.

They didn't have any deep-seated hatred for Song Qi, and the reason they often pointed their guns at her was simply to curry favor with Shi Xinyu.

When Song Qi came out of the classroom, he saw Shu Wangyue standing at the corner.

The two people looked at each other.

"Hello."

Song Qi paused, looking at her.

Shu Wangyue coughed twice. She had clearly planned how to start a conversation beforehand, but now that she was actually standing in front of Song Qi, she didn't know what to say.

Were you bullied?

Song Qi looked at Shu Wangyue: "No."

Once again at a stalemate, Shu Wangyue took a deep breath.

"Do you have anything else to do? I'm going to eat." Song Qi looked at her, her face expressionless.

I really don't understand why this person came over to talk to me.

Is this book going to be another story about best friends turning into enemies?

Shu Wangyue bit her lip, slightly disappointed.

As expected, they didn't recognize her.

Shu Wangyue paused for a moment, then said, "If you don't want to be in the same group as Shi Xinyu, you can be in the same group as me."

"Shu Wangyue, what are you saying again!" Shi Xinyu had just come out with her people when she heard Shu Wangyue's voice, and she immediately exploded.

Although she didn't particularly like Song Qi, it didn't mean she could just take him away so easily.

"The groups have already been arranged. Isn't it inappropriate for you to bring just anyone?" Shi Xinyu glanced at Song Qi and then stood between her and Shu Wangyue.

Shu Wangyue looked completely unconcerned: "Just re-edit the grouping scenes, add a few more shots, it's not a big deal."

Song Qi glanced at Shu Wangyue; this young lady was indeed very willful.

"No need, I'm fine now." Song Qi glanced at the time. "I'm going to eat now."

She was starving and had no time to play mind games with those rich young ladies.

Shu Wangyue's expression was somewhat stiff, and Shi Xinyu laughed without any consideration for her feelings.

"They don't even want to be with you, yet they still eagerly flock to you." Shi Xinyu looked at Shu Wangyue, slightly raised her chin, and walked past her.

She suddenly found Song Qi much more pleasing to the eye.

Shu Wangyue glanced at Shi Xinyu. Given her current persona, she could kick Shi Xinyu down the stairs without any consequences.

The Shi family is still no match for the Shu family. Even if she kicks the person down, the Shi family will probably still have to come over and apologize to her.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

He glanced at Song Qi, who was still on the stairs, and held back.

It's alright if Shi Xinyu breaks, but what if she hits Song Qi?

How could we allow this filthy thing to come into close contact with Song Qi?

Hearing the argument upstairs, Song Qi quickened his pace and left in a hurry.

"System, when exactly is the plot point coming? It's getting way too boring right now," Song Qi frowned.

"Soon," the system said slowly.

Just as Song Qi was about to ask when, he saw the program director hurrying towards him.

His smile was ingratiating, his face full of flattery.

"I have to say, all the actions in your book are exaggerated." Song Qi looked at him, somewhat speechless.

"It's an old-fashioned text, don't worry about it too much," the system said casually.

Everything that followed was confusing.

The person in charge led Song Qi to the office. As soon as she entered, a man and a woman rushed up and grabbed her hands.

The man was holding a photograph in his hand.

The person in the photo looks very much like Lu Nanyin, as if they were cut from the same mold, but their clothes are obviously from a different era. According to the usual pattern, this person is a photo of Lu Nanyin's mother when she was young.

They hugged Song Qi, crying and laughing at the same time.

Song Qi had also figured out her identity: she was the eldest daughter of the Shu family who went missing more than ten years ago, and these two people were her biological parents.

"Are you excited? Are you thrilled?" the system asked.

Song Qi twitched the corner of his mouth: "I can tell you're quite excited."

Why can't someone wait until she finishes eating before coming over?

"I'm quite excited," the system chuckled.

Then came her favorite domineering CEO drama.

"Nanyin? How have you been all these years?" Shu's mother touched Song Qi's face. Song Qi was not used to being touched by people and subconsciously took a step back.

Shu's mother was stunned for a moment, her expression somewhat at a loss.

"It's fine," Song Qi said.

Just as Shu's mother was about to say, "You've suffered so much these years," Song Qi's words cut her off, and she couldn't think of anything else to say for a moment.

In the end, all he could do was sob quietly.

A few minutes later, Shu Wangyue also ran over, pushed open the door, and looked at the family of three sitting together. Her expression was somewhat unpleasant: "Dad, Mom..."

"Wangyue, what brings you here?" Shu's mother took Song Qi's hand and calculated their ages. "Nanyin, this is your... older sister."

Shu Wangyue is the adopted daughter of the Shu family. Since her mother gave birth to Lu Nanyin, she has been unable to conceive again. The Shu family parents have a very good relationship, so they have never had any children.

Song Qi looked up at Shu Wangyue and nodded: "Hello, sister."

Shu Wangyue took a deep breath: "Mom and Dad, how come I suddenly have a younger sister? Is there a mistake?"

“That’s right. If they weren’t from our family, how could they look so alike?” Mr. Shu said.

Shu Wangyue gave a forced smile and stared at Song Qi: "Let's do a paternity test, just in case someone has... other intentions."

Shu Wangyue's inner monologue: Holy crap, does this mean I can live with her from now on?!

Mr. Shu frowned slightly, looking at Shu Wangyue with displeasure.

Song Qi looked at Shu Wangyue and patted Shu's mother's hand: "She's right. We should still do a paternity test. What if we're wrong? This is no small matter."

Shu's mother nodded and calmed down, but the way she looked at Song Qi was like looking at her own child.

In the afternoon, Song Qi was taken out, they had lunch together, and then went to get a paternity test.

Shu Wangyue followed along, her expression inscrutable, occasionally glancing at Song Qi.

"Do my parents know?" Song Qi asked.

Shu's mother was a little sad to hear this form of address, but she did not deliberately ask Song Qi to change it, since according to Song Qi, the Lu family had indeed treated him very well.

"We've already notified Mrs. Lu. She's still at work, but Mr. Lu will be here shortly."

Song Qi nodded.

When Mr. Lu arrived, he saw Song Qi's complicated expression, patted Song Qi on the shoulder, and then went to the side to talk with Mr. and Mrs. Shu.

"Let me tell you, even if you go back, I am still the eldest daughter of the Shu family."

"Mm." Song Qi nodded at Shu Wangyue and leaned back in his chair.

Although Song Qi did not respond, Shu Wangyue still had to recite all her lines.

"Don't even think about doing anything shady."

Song Qi remained expressionless as he looked at Shu Wangyue.

Shu Wangyue spoke to Song Qi for five minutes, but Song Qi's expression didn't change at all.

She felt a little embarrassed, like she was being silly.

Song Qi: Why does this female supporting character look a bit simple-minded?

"Are you finished speaking?" Song Qi asked Shu Wangyue.

Shu Wangyue was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Oh." Song Qi looked at the three people talking beside him.

They would occasionally glance in Song Qi's direction.

Song Qi got up and walked towards the three people.

“I think we should talk about this together,” Song Qi said.

The three of them exchanged a glance.

“I hope you can come back to the Shu family with us. We can give you a better education and life. Afterwards, you can bring the Lu family’s child with you. After all these years, we are really grateful to you for taking care of her.”

Although the Lu family is not as wealthy as the Shu family, they are not short of money.

Song Qi looked at Lu's father: "The results are still pending, aren't they?"

"Then you should think about it carefully these next few days?"

“There’s nothing to think about. Whether I go back or not… can’t I have two homes?” Song Qi looked at them. “I’m a bit greedy. I want the love of all four of them.”

The three of them paused for a moment, then laughed.

Mr. Lu ruffled Song Qi's hair: "You will always be my daughter."

Song Qi is just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, so saying things like this is in line with her character.

If she packs her things and goes back to the Shu family, her parents will probably feel uncomfortable. After all, it would be too heartless for a family member she has lived with for so long to just leave like that.

Shu Wangyue stood not far away watching.

“Lu Nanyan will be going to high school next year, right? I can help send him to Jiangwai High School.” Shu’s father looked at Lu’s father.

Jiangwai is a well-known elite school in City A, with annual tuition fees as high as 300,000 yuan and top-notch educational resources.

Mr. Lu remained silent for a few seconds, though he wanted to refuse.

"Don't refuse, this is our way of expressing our gratitude. If you don't accept it, I don't know what to do," said Shu's mother.

In the evening, the Lu family and the Shu family had dinner together.

After learning about Song Qi's situation, Lu's mother's eyes remained red.

Lu Nanyan was also somewhat downcast, sitting next to Song Qi and occasionally glancing at her.

"Sis, are you never coming back?"

Song Qi glanced at Lu Nanyan: "You wish! You'll definitely go back to live there."

Lu Nanyan almost laughed, but quickly put on a disdainful expression: "No way, it's best if you don't come back."

Then, the next second, Lu's father smacked him on the forehead.

Song Qi laughed unkindly.

Lu Nanyan twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Shu Wangyue: "Sis, this woman doesn't look like a good person. I've heard that wealthy families are often chaotic. You're so naive, you should be careful not to get schemed against."

"Don't worry, she's even more stupid," Song Qi said.

Lu Nanyan glanced at Song Qi, then took a good look at Shu Wangyue, and nodded in agreement: "She does seem a bit dim-witted."

Song Qi patted Lu Nanyan's head: "Let's eat."

The atmosphere at the table was a bit somber at first, but they quickly picked up the conversation.

Lu Nanyan was originally an outgoing person, and after finding that the Shu family parents were easy to get along with, he became even more relaxed and often made others laugh.

Shu Wangyue looked at them, put down her chopsticks, and ran out.

The smiles of the group came to an abrupt halt.

Mr. and Mrs. Shu exchanged a glance.

"I'm sorry, this child may be a little unhappy because we've neglected her. I'll have a good talk with her when I get back."

Mother Lu frowned: "Won't there be a conflict with Nan Yin later? Our Nan Yin has a rather gentle nature."

"No, don't worry. I was wrong today. I haven't paid attention to Nan Yin since I got her back, which made her upset. She's a good girl."

Although Shu's mother said that, Lu's mother was still a little worried.

"I'll go check on her," Song Qi said, putting down her chopsticks and walking out.

After searching around, I finally found Shu Wangyue sitting outside. She looked rather downcast.

"Let's go back." Song Qi stood in front of Shu Wangyue.

Shu Wangyue didn't look up, afraid that if she did, she wouldn't be able to resist hugging him.

After all, the moonlight is soft, the breeze is just right, and there are hardly any people around.

"Heh, why would you call me back? Isn't having you enough?" Shu Wangyue pinched her hand. "Are you here to show off?"
