Women's jealousy can come out of nowhere. Even if nothing has happened between people, they can still feel jealous over a trivial matter, or over someone's appearance, talent, or intelligence.

Qiao Nansheng stood there expressionless, letting them look at her as if she didn't notice.

Tang Xuerou's eyes lit up when she saw her, and she immediately let go of the arm of the girl she was holding and ran towards Qiao Nansheng.

"Nan Sheng, I finally see you! Which training room are you in? Teacher Jin said you don't know any skills, so you have a special teacher teaching you, right?" Tang Xue Rou asked with a smile, her voice not loud but not quiet either, enough for the members next to her to hear.

Qiao Nansheng looked up at her, gave a faint "hmm," and said nothing more.

She seemed very indifferent to Tang Xuerou, and her "hmm" was extremely perfunctory.

The other members had heard Tang Xuerou mention during their break after training that she had come here for a friend. Now, seeing Tang Xuerou run over to her as soon as she saw her, they could guess that the friend she was referring to was Qiao Nansheng.

Seeing that she was so cold and aloof even to her friends, the other members suddenly found Qiao Nansheng even more annoying.

Someone couldn't help but say, "Xiaorou, look, they don't even want to talk to you, so don't go and try to win them over."

As soon as this person spoke, the others immediately echoed his sentiments.

"That's right, let her come with us, let her go alone."

"You treat people as friends, but they don't treat you as a friend."

"Isn't it just because she has connections? Otherwise, how would Teacher Amy have the chance to teach her? She wouldn't even be able to get into the show."

Qiao Nansheng glanced at them coolly, then looked at Tang Xuerou. She didn't say anything, her eyes fixed on her, as if she had tacitly agreed with what everyone was saying. Qiao Nansheng even saw a triumphant glint in her eyes.

This is similar to Tang Xuerou in the drama "The CEO's Wife," who likes to say things in public that can be misunderstood. However, while she has the protagonist's halo in "The CEO's Wife," she doesn't have it here.

Only those who are aligned with her will believe what she says and choose to stand with her; others will not believe her words at all.

Or rather, it appears on the surface that they believe it, but in reality they don't.

We're not children anymore. Without absolute truth, we won't easily believe one person and then slander and frame another. If Tang Xuerou wants to use her trick, it won't work.

"Don't say that." Tang Xuerou had heard enough of what everyone was saying before she finally spoke up to interrupt them. She reached out and took Qiao Nansheng's arm, her expression turning sour as if she were angry: "Nansheng is not that kind of person. If you keep saying that, I'll get angry."

Those people were even angrier when they saw that Qiao Nansheng completely ignored them and that she was even speaking up for Qiao Nansheng.

"We're just reminding you not to get taken advantage of or scammed without even realizing it. Take it or leave it," one of them said, rolling her eyes. The elevator arrived, and without even glancing at them, she stepped inside.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed.

Qiao Nansheng stood still, not wanting to share an elevator with them.

Tang Xuerou took two steps but couldn't move her. She turned around and looked at her: "Nan Sheng?"

Qiao Nansheng withdrew her hand from hers and said calmly, "I have an appointment, so I won't be with you. You can go with them."

Tang Xuerou bit her lip: "Nan Sheng, are you angry? They were talking about you like that just now, and I didn't speak up for you or explain."

She pressed her temples and lowered her head, not wanting to see Tang Xuerou feigning pitifulness: "No, I really have an appointment. I'll go with you tomorrow."

Hearing her say that, Tang Xuerou stopped pestering her and nodded in response.

"Goodbye, Nansheng. I'll come find you again after training this afternoon." She waved to Qiao Nansheng with a big smile on her face.

Qiao Nansheng hummed in agreement, and as she watched the elevator doors close, her expression instantly turned cold. Which fan wrote this book anyway? Everyone else has a male or female supporting character to help them out, but she doesn't.

He must be a fan, just like Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai, who was inexplicably tagged: [I'm real, the one who wrote the book is fake!!]

—I think you're all fake.

[Qiao Qiao~]

Qiao Nansheng stepped forward expressionlessly, pressed the elevator button, and waited there.

"Xiao Qiao? She hasn't left yet." Xu Yanqing's voice suddenly came from behind.

Qiao Nansheng turned around, nodded slightly to the man, and called out, "Teacher Xu."

"I thought you had already left since I saw you'd been out for so long," Xu Yanqing smiled at her, her expression gentle.

"Not yet," Qiao Nansheng said.

The two stood there waiting for the elevator. About ten seconds later, the elevator came up, but it didn't stop on this floor. It went straight upstairs, and after waiting for about half a minute, the elevator came down.

There were many people inside. The two of them went in one after the other and stood at the edge of the doorway.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

In the crowded elevator, various smells mingled together, including a pungent perfume smell and the strong smell of tobacco from too much smoking. It was extremely unpleasant. Qiao Nansheng had been holding her breath ever since she entered the elevator and dared not breathe.

Xu Yanqing couldn't help but laugh when he saw her face turn red from holding her breath.

Qiao Nansheng turned her head and met the man's gentle eyes. He smiled, his eyes crinkling, as if they were overflowing with light.

She looked away, thinking: Okay, she took back her previous thought that Xu Yanqing and Zhou Cheng were the same. They were different. Xu Yanqing was genuinely amused when she laughed, while Zhou Cheng was just maintaining a smile on the surface.

Xu Yanqing took two steps closer to her, and the rich scent of gardenia emanating from him overwhelmed the other unpleasant smells. Qiao Nansheng took a deep breath and felt much better.

The elevator quickly reached the first floor, where Qiao Nansheng was standing. As soon as the door opened, she rushed out impatiently.

She really felt that if she stayed in the elevator any longer, she would be killed by the stench.

Xu Yanqing walked behind her, and the two left Huaying one after the other. Only then did Xu Yanqing speak: "You must have been holding it in for a while, right? It really did smell bad inside."

Qiao Nansheng nodded in agreement: "The smell is too strong."

Xu Yanqing laughed again: "You can buy a mask to wear, which can avoid a lot of trouble."

Qiao Nansheng glanced at the white rabbit-patterned mask he was wearing and nodded again: "Teacher Xu is right."

"Then I'll be going now. See you this afternoon." Xu Yanqing nodded to her and turned to walk towards another place.

Qiao Nansheng went to the snack street opposite Huaying. She hadn't eaten much in the morning and had been dancing all morning, so she was starving. Once she entered the snack street, she went on a shopping spree.
