Chapter 18: When did you ever need to worry about my affairs...
Xu Chenxi's intuition was always accurate. The smile on the referee's face made her mood sink. A friend beside her could sense her low pressure and whispered comfortingly, "Chenxi, no one knows the outcome until the very last moment. You performed so well, don't worry."
Xu Chenxi remained silent. As an expert, she could clearly discern the difficulty of the dance. Every move was executed with such precision that she didn't even know where to begin to find fault. While the Spring Breeze Cup was an adult competition, the most prestigious competition for children before that was the Lightness Award. She had never seen Mingyi compete, so who was she? Why was she suddenly competing in the Spring Breeze Cup? More importantly, she was only fifteen, perfectly qualified for the Lightness Award, so why was she trying to compete with her for the Spring Breeze Cup? Nineteen-year-old Xu Chenxi wasn't very good at concealing her emotions. As the camera panned over, her face was filled with disappointment.
As the referee's scoreboard was announced, after removing the highest and lowest scores, everyone basically knew who the champion was. Xu Chenxi's friends were a little at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to comfort her. They had even rehearsed the celebration before coming, but no one expected that she would not be the first place.
"Congratulations to Mingyi, the winner of this year's Spring Breeze Cup!" The clear voice from the microphone pierced Xu Chenxi. She watched helplessly as others stepped onto the podium. Then, her friend whispered, "I just checked. She's really amazing! Not only can she dance, but she's also the youngest winner of the Kongling Cup."
"Are you saying she's the winner of the Void Spirit Cup two years ago?" Xu Chenxi's tone was filled with surprise. Two years ago, she had only heard others mention the youngest winner of the Void Spirit Cup, and she had also followed others in praising her. She had never expected that two years later, this person would become her competitor. So she looked at her friend uncertainly: "Are you sure?"
You know, dancers basically spend their time practicing dancing. If it was really her, how did she manage to do both at the same time?
"It's her. Look, her friends have all admitted it." The friend handed her the phone, which contained the blog post by Ji Shuxuan. Judging from the photos, she should have been there as well.
Ji Shuxuan: The image of the fairy was materialized at this moment/Picture/
The accompanying picture shows the moment when Mingyi was waving her sleeves on the stage. The photo was captured very well. Her gaze was fixed on the raised sleeves, and her whole body exuded a cool feeling.
"So this is a genius?" Xu Chenxi murmured.
"Chenxi, second place is also great. You can still go to the school you want." The friend comforted him in a gentle voice.
"It's different." Xu Chenxi was about to cry. How could the second place be the same as the champion? And she cared about more than just the Spring Breeze Cup. It was said that the winner would also have the opportunity to dance on the same stage with dancer Yang Qingqi.
That was Yang Qingqi, a world-class dancer and her idol since childhood, and she just missed her.

"Mingyi, you are so awesome. I knew you could win." Ji Shuxuan looked very happy.
"You knew this long ago, so why are you still so happy?" Mingyi was facing the mirror and preparing to remove her makeup. Stage makeup is usually quite thick, and she felt uncomfortable, so she couldn't help but want to remove it as soon as she got off the stage.
"Of course I'm happy you won the championship. Wait, don't rush to take off your makeup, let's take a photo together and piss off those people." The group of people Ji Shuxuan was talking about were the fake sisters in the circle. Don't think she doesn't know how they are plotting against her behind her back: "On the one hand, they are telling me I'm your follower, and on the other hand, they are trying to please you and replace me. It's really hilarious. Am I so easily replaced?"
Ji Shuxuan snorted coldly, then posted the photo of the two of them in the group, and said in a casual tone: Sisters, today is another day to witness the success of the ceremony, but it's a pity that you are not here.
Before sending it out, Ji Shuxuan checked it and thought it was good enough, so she clicked send and let them be jealous.
"If you don't like them, why do you continue to associate with them?" Mingyi took off her eye makeup first, a little puzzled by her behavior.
"It's fun to see them break down." Ji Shuxuan didn't tell the truth. The relationships in the circle were complicated, and they basically all involved business dealings. She hadn't left the Ji family yet, so naturally she could only feign flattery with them. In this regard, she had always envied Ming Yi. She didn't need to deal with anyone, let alone please anyone, because the Ming family gave her enough confidence.
"As long as you are happy." After removing her makeup, Mingyi applied a layer of moisturizing lotion again. The collagen on her face showed her good skin.
"Don't worry, I'll just disgust them with my words, I won't do anything else." Knowing that she was concerned about her, Ji Shuxuan added that although she was two years older than Mingyi, sometimes she inexplicably succumbed to her aura.
"No matter what you want to do, I will support you." Mingyi suddenly said seriously.
Ji Shuxuan was deeply moved by this, but the beautiful atmosphere was interrupted by the ringing of her cell phone. It was the photo she had just sent to Lu Xiujin. He was clearly in a country with a time difference, yet he was able to send her a message so quickly. She directly deleted the message and asked her happily, "Mingyi, didn't you tell anyone else about your participation in the Spring Breeze Cup this time?"
"Why should I tell them?" Mingyi was a little confused. Isn't this her private matter?
Seeing the international call coming in again, Ji Shuxuan couldn't hide the smile on her lips. She ignored it directly and then looked at Mingyi happily: "Let's go celebrate?"
"Probably not," Ming Yi said, pointing to her phone. As she had said before, besides He Kejia, Ji Shuxuan was the only one who knew about her registration for the Spring Breeze Cup. Originally, only He Kejia knew because she was her assistant and needed to handle many procedures. It was completely unexpected that Ji Shuxuan knew about it. Now, Qiao Mengan's phone number flashed on the screen. She slowly pressed the answer button, and Qiao Mengan's voice soon came from the other end: "Miss Ming, you'd better tell me you have a twin sister."
"Sister Qiao, be elegant, please keep your elegance." The 28-year-old Qiao Mengan is called the most elegant pianist by the media.
"So you are holding the Chunfeng Cup right now? Don't tell me you only started practicing dancing two years ago?" Qiao Mengan thought, if you want to be friends with a genius, you must be prepared to be attacked at any time. A person who has been practicing piano since childhood actually crossed over and won the Chunfeng Cup, one of the most prestigious dance competitions.
"That's not the case. I started dancing and piano at the age of four," Mingyi explained.
"Then you hid it really well, haha." A friend congratulated her just now, and she was still confused. If no one had told her, she would not have known that her dear junior sister had won the Spring Breeze Cup again.
"I didn't think it was important at the time. Senior sister, you are with the teacher, why don't you help me explain it?" Mingyi felt a little guilty at the end. She originally thought that there was no need to tell them specifically, but now she found that everyone seemed very angry?
"No, you explain it yourself, or are you planning to betray your master and join Teacher Yang Qingqi?" Qiao Mengan snorted coldly after saying this.
"How could that be? What I love most is the piano." Mingyi was not lying. The moment she chose the piano, she was bound to it.
"That's better. I can reluctantly help you with the teacher's question. You'll have to fend for yourself with the other two." Qiao Mengan had to harmonize with others later, so he quickly hung up the phone.
Although the competition was not broadcast live, the video of Mingyi dancing quickly spread online. The winner of the Spring Breeze Cup has always been regarded as a textbook performance by dancers. Many dancers were waiting to watch. Occasionally, other people were attracted by Mingyi's dancing moves, and of course more were attracted by her appearance. The fifteen-year-old girl had grown into a bright and charming girl, and the heavy stage makeup made her look a little mature. Netizens even posted a missing person notice under the video.
Secretary Bai, I want all her information within three minutes.
What to do if you get bitten by a hamster: I thought Xu Chenxi had it easy this time, but unexpectedly a dark horse emerged?
Red Cherry: The moment the young lady raised her eyes, she was so beautiful that it made me hold my breath.
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen: Did you know for the first time that water sleeve dance could be so beautiful?
Today is Little Sun: No, this is Ming Yi? The Miss Ming who broke the record of the Kong Ling Cup just two years ago?
Yalishanda:!!! Damn, it really seems to be Ming Yi, yes, the eldest daughter of the Ming family.
Looking forward to Friday: Oh my god, this generation of netizens can find everything except a partner.
Do you believe in light: No, who can tell me how the young lady did it?
Youth has no price: We know the value of the Kongling Cup in the piano world, so is the value of the Chunfeng Cup high?
It turned out to be me: Let me put it this way, the winners of the Kongling Cup and Chunfeng Cup are like the competition-recommended students in the college entrance examination. Do you understand what I mean?
Netizens were quickly informed about the value of the Kongling Cup and Chunfeng Cup. Looking at Mingyi's award-winning dance, they could only helplessly make exclamation marks and cow emojis. The video was quickly flooded with these two comments, because words could no longer express their admiration for Mingyi, and these two comments were more intuitive.

Xu Chenxi, who missed the Spring Breeze Cup, was also posting these comments at this time. Maybe she was still a little dissatisfied at the beginning, but once she found that the gap between herself and Mingyi was inbridged, the dissatisfaction in her heart turned into admiration. She thought, there really are real geniuses in this world. This is the first dance-related competition that Mingyi participated in, and she won the championship directly. Her award was well-deserved. She was willing to admit defeat and looked forward to competing with her in the next competition. Unfortunately, Xu Chenxi's wish was destined to not come true.
"Chenxi, good news." At this time, a friend came trotting over.
"What good news?" At this time, Xu Chenxi had come out of the frustration of losing the game.
"You're on the list of people who'll be performing on the same stage with Yang Qingqi." Her friend looked at her happily, but she didn't seem as happy as she imagined. She just frowned and looked at her in confusion: "Why me? According to the rules, shouldn't Mingyi be the one to perform?"
Even though Mingyi didn't know her, Xu Chenxi thought that she would probably remember this name for the rest of her life.
"I heard that she declined for personal reasons, so the spot was passed to you." My friend said it carefully, afraid that she would be unhappy about it. After all, how many people who study art don't have a bit of pride?
"So that's how it is. That's great. I need to contact the organizers and see what I need to do." Watching Xu Chenxi trotting away, her friend was a little puzzled. She had thought she would be unhappy about this. After all, she had been so repulsive to Mingyi before.
What friends don’t know is that in the face of absolute strength, most people’s emotions are no longer jealousy, but admiration. Just like Xu Chenxi at this moment, she initially resented Ming Yi for suddenly appearing, but after understanding her strength, her feelings towards Ming Yi were only admiration. How could people not admire a genius who could win the Kongling Cup and Chunfeng Cup consecutively in two years?

After leaving the stadium, Mingyi's phone was ringing off the hook, and her group chat was flooded with messages tagging her. She took out her ringing phone and answered it, her tone slightly irritated. "What do you want to say?"
Lu Xiujin's deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mingyi, congratulations. I watched the game and you performed very well."
"Thank you." Mingyi was a little surprised that someone with a very strict sleep schedule was not sleeping at this moment.
"I'll celebrate with you when I return home this weekend." At this moment, Lu Xiu Jin actually regretted going abroad, but this was his responsibility.
"Okay, I'll contact you when you get back." After Ming Yi hung up the phone, she casually opened a new message. It was a message from Ming Yuxuan. Like Lu Xiujing, he is currently studying abroad. It seems that the schoolwork is easy enough that they are still awake at this time.
In addition to the online frenzy surrounding Mingyi's award, the news was also widely discussed within the circle. If it were any other award, everyone would have sneered or mocked it, saying it must have been bought with money. However, as for these two awards, everyone who knows about them knows that there is no way they can be faked. These are awards that cannot be bought even with money and power.
[She's so lucky, not only was she born into the Ming family, but she also left us no chance of survival.]
[This really makes Ji Shuxuan, the green tea girl, feel satisfied]
So what exactly does Mingyi like about Ji Shuxuan?
Please, Mingyi, stop showing off and let us go.
Ji Shuxuan, who had sneaked in with a small account, was overjoyed when she saw these messages. She knew that they were not only jealous of Mingyi, but also jealous of her. These people knew how to gossip about others behind their backs day by day.
Mingyi saw her laughing so hard that tears came out, and looked at her curiously. Ji Shuxuan handed her the phone and said, "See, I knew they had another group behind our backs. Luckily, I was smart and created a small account to sneak in."
Just then, new news popped up: [They're playing the zither and dancing, what's the difference between them and training skinny horses in ancient times? They're destined to be married off in the future.]
When Ji Shuxuan saw this, she wanted to curse immediately, but Mingyi took the phone in her hand and put it to her lips. She pressed the voice button and said directly: "When did you need to worry about my affairs?"
