The branch of Star Shine Entertainment is a misnomer.

It's more like a studio than a branch office! And this branch office is even called Qi Zhe Media Studio!

The studio is located in a shopping mall next to the school, and it's about 100 square meters. The interior is simply furnished; besides various musical instruments and other necessities, there are no other decorations.

Leng Yue and Leng Yu would come to practice vocal music every day after school. Qi Zhe hired many teachers to give them lessons.

Leng Yue used to think, "Singing is just singing, what's so difficult about that?" Now she realizes that singing is far more difficult than studying.

Leng Yu is indeed talented; he grasps things immediately whenever the teacher points them out. He can always quickly achieve the effect the teacher describes, and all that's left is for him to practice patiently.

However, Leng Yue always falls short in this regard, or rather, falls far short.

She either couldn't understand the teacher's explanations at all, or she understood them but couldn't apply them. In short, Leng Yue and the teacher were both on the verge of collapse.

If Leng Yu's progress is like leaps and bounds, then Leng Yue's is slower than a snail! The contrast between these two students is just too obvious!

When a group of teachers sometimes discuss these two students, they always smile broadly when talking about one, but shake their heads and sigh when mentioning the other!

Qi Zhe had bumped into them several times and was very unhappy. He just couldn't stand people saying bad things about Leng Yue!

Qi Zhe wanted to fire them all, but Geng Le stopped him.

By the way, because Geng Le failed to complete the task Qi Changfeng gave him, and he didn't want to mentor a playboy, he ran away with Qi Zhe.

Fortunately, Geng Le was there, and he was able to stop Qi Zhe when necessary.

Geng Le: "Qiqi, don't act impulsively. Besides, what they said isn't wrong; it's the truth. I know you're protective, but you have to consider the context!"

Qi Zhe's eyes flickered slightly; he was only protecting Leng Yue!

"Look, I told you I'd only sign Leng Yu. My intuition was right, wasn't it? It hasn't been long, and their performance has improved by several levels." Geng Le said with some pride. His intuition hadn't been wrong so far.

Seeing that Qi Zhe remained silent, Geng Le continued, "Leng Yue is no good. Her comprehension is too poor, and her innate conditions aren't very good either. We really shouldn't have signed both of them in the first place!"

As Geng Le spoke, he unconsciously began to complain about Qi Zhe.

Qi Zhe shot him a glare, and Geng Le shuddered.

"Look at you, I was just saying, I didn't really resent you!" Geng Le thought Qi Zhe didn't want to hear his complaints, but in fact, Qi Zhe just couldn't stand anyone saying anything bad about Leng Yue.

"Don't let me hear you say anything bad about Leng Yue again. She's great!" Qi Zhe still glared at Geng Le with daggers, which frightened Geng Le into begging for mercy.

"Alright, alright, Qiqi, anything you sign is good, it will always shine! It will always shine! Is that alright?" Geng Le once again diverted Qi Zhe's anger.

All I can say is that Geng Le is indeed numb at times.

Speaking of Leng Yue, she began to feel discouraged after a series of failures.

Why can Leng Yu learn everything so easily, while she struggles to learn even after working herself to the bone?

People are all the same. When they can see hope, they are full of energy! They can persevere no matter how hard or tiring it is! But when hope is slim, and they feel there is no hope at all, they naturally lose their fighting spirit!

After finishing their classes at the studio and doing their homework at home, the two sisters went to bed.

But Leng Yue couldn't fall asleep and tossed and turned all night! Leng Yu could sense her distress!

Leng Yu asked with some concern, "Sister, are you thinking of giving up? Can't you try to persevere a little longer? You had a tough time studying back then, but you still managed to stick with it, didn't you?"

Leng Yue knew what Leng Yu was afraid of, but she was in no mood to say anything to comfort her.

In the darkness, both remained silent.

Leng Yu didn't want Leng Yue to quit, because the more she feared the so-called entertainment industry, the more she resisted entering it. However, the speed of her progress indicated that she was getting closer and closer to that boundless circle!

Leng Yu hopes that Leng Yue can stay with her forever, only then will she have enough courage to face the future!

Leng Yue was fully aware of Leng Yu's thoughts. She also hoped to accompany Leng Yu on the path she wanted to take. However, she now felt that she could only hold Leng Yu back!

Leng Yue knew better than anyone that her path had never been easy. But back then, no one had any expectations of her, so Leng Yue didn't care how slow she progressed, or whether she could succeed.

Back then, Leng Yue had no family, no ties. If one path blocked her way, she would try another. But now it's different; she has family, she is the one who is needed! She can't back down so easily!

Having figured all this out, Leng Yue reached out and took Leng Yu's hand. "Silly girl, don't worry, I'll always be with you."

In the darkness, Leng Yu smiled; only she knew how at ease she felt.

Leng Yu gripped Leng Yue's hand tightly, then rolled over and hugged her like a koala.

"Hey sis, it's so hot, can you move away from me a bit?" Leng Yue's lips twitched. Sure enough, girls are creatures who like to take an inch and then a mile.

"No!" Leng Yu refused resolutely, and hugged him even tighter.

"I can't breathe!" Leng Yue realized for the first time that her cute and cuddly younger sister could be so fierce!

"Help me!" Leng Yue blurted out in English, clearly exasperated.

Leng Yu, with a carefree grin, let go of Leng Yue's arm and nuzzled her shoulder repeatedly, saying, "Sister, you're so good!"

Leng Yue gasped for breath, pushing Leng Yu away, "Go away, are you a pig, always rooting around like that?"

"Yes, I'm Pigsy, I'll be nudging you every day!" Leng Yu and Leng Yue started playing around. After a while, Leng Yu got tired of laughing and hugged Leng Yue's arm, acting coquettishly, "Sister, you have to stay with me forever! I'll be scared when you're not around."

Leng Yue turned to the side and patted Leng Yu on the shoulder, "I'll stay with you until you get annoyed with me..."

Leng Yu didn't speak again, only her even breathing could be heard. Leng Yue smiled, "She really is a little piggy."

Their playful banter dispelled the stress Leng Yue had been under lately. She turned around and soon began to snore softly.

She slept soundly through the night, and at five in the morning, Leng Yue got up to exercise. After washing up and having breakfast, she packed her backpack, grabbed her keys, and went to the studio to practice the basic skills her teacher had taught her.

Just as Leng Yue was getting ready to go to school, Qi Zhe and Geng Le arrived.

"Why are you up so early? Didn't you go home yesterday?" Qi Zhe asked, somewhat displeased. "Staying up late is bad for your health. Girls shouldn't stay up too late."

Leng Yue smiled, thinking that Qi Zhe seemed aloof, but was actually quite caring. "No, I just arrived early. You guys go ahead with your work, I'm going to school now, see you this afternoon!"

After Leng Yue entered the elevator, Geng Le said, "Qi Qi, maybe you're right too."

Qi Zhe stared blankly at the elevator, saying nothing.

Qi Zhe: She smiled at him, that's so nice!
