Chapter 70: A Bad Feeling

Chapter 70

"Hello, I'm Qin Wei,"

Qin Wei nodded politely and also introduced herself.

Youyou smiled and said:

"There are meals arranged by the show crew over there. They are worried the performers waiting to go on stage later might get hungry, so everyone has a portion.

I saw you've been sitting here for quite a while, and may not have noticed since your performance is scheduled later. I'm worried you might be hungry, so I came over to let you know. If you need it, I can help grab some food for you."

She stuck out her tongue playfully and continued,

"Of course, I also wanted to take this chance to get to know you, Big Sis Qin. You must remember me!"

Before she could finish, her agent called for her, saying it was almost time for her performance.

Youyou yelled "Coming!" to her agent, then quickly went to the staff to get a simple meal box and put it in front of Qin Wei,

She waved at Qin Wei, then trotted off without giving Qin Wei a chance to decline.

Qin Wei looked at the meal box in front of her. It was still sealed with the restaurant's packaging, and had the show's stamp of receipt along with the order time and restaurant's number. It didn't look like it had been opened before, so it seemed the girl named Youyou really just wanted to get to know her.

Qin Wei looked at her phone. It had been almost an hour, how come Li Yao still hadn't come up?

And he wasn't picking up her calls or replying to her texts...

Her own performance was coming up soon. Deducting makeup time, she didn't have much time left to rest...

Qin Wei looked at the meal box in front of her. Since it was ordered by the show crew, and Li Yao still hadn't come back, she might as well just eat it. As for that girl, she could thank her properly later if they meet again!

...

On the other side of the backstage resting room.

Youyou would be on stage in two more acts. She stood by the door taking deep breaths, looking very nervous still.

A pair of hands pressed down on her shoulders from behind.

"Don't be nervous. The dance teacher said you did great during practice. Just do it on stage like you did during training."

Youyou turned around and smiled at the woman behind her, "Sister Liu Xin? Thank you for the encouragement. I'll do my best!"

Liu Xin smiled and nodded.

"Did you eat enough just now? The salad dinner was sponsored by our company to the show crew. It's our own food, don't be shy." She helped tidy up Youyou's clothes and continued,

"It might be a bit plain, mainly to avoid anything too oily before going on stage."

Youyou looked very grateful.

【This guitar accompaniment fits Xinya's temperament so perfectly!】

【Hurry up and open the voting channel! I want to vote for Big Sis!!】

【The voting opens at midnight tonight!! xdm charge!! We must get Xinya into the Top 9!】

【Xinya deserves it!】

...

Continuing to watch the competition, Qin Wei was in a great mindset and also confident in her own abilities, so she was evaluating each performer who went on stage in her mind -

"Not bad."

"She's quite good too."

"Haha went off key..."

"Hit a wrong note but great attitude."

...

"Teacher Qin, time to get styled."

Qin Wei put down the salad box. As the show progressed, fewer female celebrities lingered backstage. By the time she went for styling, there were only a few people left.

"Cough cough cough..."

When it was time for styling, Qin Wei felt an itchiness in her throat and couldn't help coughing.

It had started not long ago, but she didn't notice at first since it wasn't obvious.

"Cough cough cough..."

At the same time, Li Yao rushed in, out of breath and exhausted.

He was drenched in sweat and looked very tired.

"Why are you just getting here now? Cough cough cough..."

Qin Wei asked him, but also felt discomfort in her throat when she spoke. If it continued like this on stage, it would definitely affect her performance.

"Don't even get me started, just real unlucky. The staff member gave me wrong directions, I went from Block A to Block F. Wasted so much time going back and forth before I finally figured it out from calling...So hard... so hard to find my way back...Qin Wei, what's wrong with your face..."

Without thinking, Qin Wei touched her own face.

Ignoring his own fatigue, Li Yao came over to examine her face left and right, then yelled in a trembling, cracking voice,

"Qin Wei, don't fucking tell me you ate peanut butter!?"
