Qin Wei opened her eyes and found herself lying in a hospital bed.
She had a headache, felt weak, and couldn't remember what had happened.
She tried to sit up but was stopped by a pleasant voice beside her.
"Wait, you're receiving intravenous fluids. Get up later."
She turned her head and saw Qiao Sixiao sitting next to her, calmly peeling an apple with a small knife.
Qin Wei looked at her, trying hard to remember, but nothing came to mind.
"What happened to me?" she asked.
Qiao Sixiao looked at her and sighed helplessly.
"You fainted due to low blood sugar. Qin Wei, you're something else! How can someone who eats so much faint from hunger?"
Qin Wei: ?
"You don't remember?"
Qiao Sixiao frowned, wondering why Qin Wei was being so clueless. Impatiently, she said,
"There was an assessment. You collapsed, and they brought you to the medical room. The doctor said it was low blood sugar."
Qin Wei suddenly realized,
"Oh, the assessment...the assessment??"
She sat up abruptly, still feeling a bit dizzy.
Qiao Sixiao was startled by her sudden movement and scolded her in annoyance,
"What are you doing?! Lie back down!"
Qin Wei hurriedly put on her shoes and said to her, "The assessment! I haven't taken it yet!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't taken it either, and the assessment is already over."
Qiao Sixiao said, finishing peeling the apple skin.
Qin Wei paused and looked at her, puzzled.
Qiao Sixiao gave her a disdainful look,
"Why are you staring at me like that? You fainted, and I stood behind you. If you fell on me like a porcelain doll, what would I do?"
"So you didn't have to accompany me? You could have just left me!"
Qin Wei's actions made her feel guilty.
Were they really family?
Qiao Sixiao cut a piece of the peeled apple and ate it, gesturing for Qin Wei to lie down first. After Qin Wei obediently did so, Qiao Sixiao said to her,
"That won't do! I brought you here to find out what illness you have. If you die, I can at least send you off. Isn't that more interesting than any assessment?"
Qin Wei's sense of guilt vanished.
Only family could say such harsh words.
"I won't die. I had a comprehensive physical examination not long ago, and the doctor said I'm so healthy that I could be a spokesperson for health."
"I don't understand what you're saying..."
Qiao Sixiao frowned, but soon a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"By the way, you don't even have a spokesperson role, do you?"
Qin Wei: ...
...
The assessment results were out. Chen Xinya, Liu Xin, Si You, and others performed the best, with Lin Qiqi ranking second to last despite her average singing but decent dancing skills.
As for Sun Tiantian, she listened to Qin Wei's advice and focused more on singing, not worrying too much about dancing in the future, which made her dance more naturally.
Although the results were out, with an overall singing and dancing ranking of 40 and a group ranking of 7, it was much better than she had expected.
And naturally, the last place was shared by Qin Wei and Qiao Sixiao.
Lin Qiqi even kindly created a hot search for her:
#Qin Wei's Pre-Assessment Syndrome#
It's probably about Qin Wei's first assessment. She fainted due to nervousness before the exam and couldn't take it. People openly and secretly criticized her mindset, calling her overly sensitive and questioning her competence.
However, since there was no evidence, everyone just took a casual glance at the situation.
But after the broadcast, it caused quite a stir:
"Could it be true? Qin Wei fainted from nervousness? It was just a small test, why make such a big deal out of it? Is she inexperienced?"
"My friend is from the production team of the show 'Stars,' and he said Qin Wei's health hasn't been good since her last injury. I wonder if it's because of that."
"Although, she conveniently fainted in Qiao Qiao's arms. Did she figure out the secret to gaining popularity?"
"Are you trying to ask why she fell backward instead of forward? Who can control that?"
"Qiao Qiao is so loyal, taking her to the infirmary and abandoning the exam."
"Can't she make up the exam? I feel sorry for Qiao Qiao."
"It's said that most people think a makeup exam would be unfair, so they gave up..."
"Fans from both sides, come out and tell us, is this really fair?"
"Um... as a fan, I can't be sure now."
...
Seeing that Qin Wei was fine, Qiao Sixiao went back to continue training, and Qin Wei didn't stay lying down either. After removing the needle, she went back to the practice room.
When she returned, it was already past three in the afternoon. When Qin Wei pushed open the door, everyone was practicing. Seeing her return, a few people who had good relationships with her hurried over to support her.
"Wei Wei, are you okay?"
Sun Tiantian asked her, looking at her pale face, unable to help but worry.
"It's nothing serious... Didn't we say we would be assigned new songs in the afternoon? Has it been done?"
Qin Wei rubbed her temples, unable to hide her fatigue.
Sun Tiantian nodded:
"It's done... but..."
Qin Wei turned to look at her.
Sun Tiantian glanced at Lin Qiqi, who was busy with word segmentation along with the others, not paying much attention to them. She lowered her voice and said:
"Two new songs were assigned to each class. The class was divided into two groups to perform separately. The groups were decided before you came back, with one group upstairs and the other downstairs..."
Qin Wei sighed in relief, thanking the heavens, the earth, and fate for arranging things so that she didn't have to be in the same group as Lin Qiqi all the time!
Qin Wei didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a happy smile.
She was bubbling with joy.
However, Sun Tiantian looked troubled, and her voice became even lower:
"But Lin Qiqi chose 'Crown'..."
"'Crown'?"
Qin Wei recalled that she had heard this song before, and it was quite good. It was popular this year, and many short videos used its chorus as background music. In other words, this song had a certain level of popularity and came with advantages.
"What about us?"
Qin Wei found a place to sit down and asked her.
Sun Tiantian replied:
"'Superlove,' an English song. I also heard it for the first time. The other female artists didn't want to perform it either... They were all fighting for 'Crown'..."
As she said this, she secretly glanced at Lin Qiqi.
"Wei Wei, you know... I'll just say it! Except for you and Lin Qiqi, the rest of us in this class are relatively unknown in this industry. We all entered based on a bit of talent and luck..."
Although Lin Qiqi had a poor reputation before, she had a powerful backing behind her... While passers-by might dare to mock her, we didn't have the courage... We could only rush to team up with her, and those who couldn't join the team were a bit unhappy...
So that's the reason...
Qin Wei had always been curious about how she could disappear for a while after being surrounded by negative news. Moreover, many of the negative news about her online have been deleted.
It turns out she has a powerful support behind her!
"It's okay."
Even though she missed the popular song, Qin Wei didn't seem discouraged. She asked Sun Tiantian,
"What's your choice?"
Sun Tiantian seemed to relax as she spoke about herself:
"We share a dormitory, so of course I'll be in your group. This song isn't too difficult for me since it's what I study... It's just the other members of the group..."
"Take it easy!"
After resting for a moment and feeling much better, Qin Wei pulled Sun Tiantian up and said,
"Let's go, let's listen to the song a couple of times first, and then calm down the emotions of the other group members."
