Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

Fan Chenxi sniffed, turned around and continued running, her footsteps quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor.

The corridor fell silent.

Only Hua Qing and Qi Yanran remained.

Qi Yanran tried to speak: "Hua Qing, you..."

"Teacher Qi, you don't need to comfort me."

Hua Qing interrupted Qi Yanran, trying to keep her tone calm: "I only have one question for you now, and I hope you can answer it truthfully."

"You said."

"If you had to choose, who would you pick tonight?"

"Fan Chenxi".

Qi Yanran didn't hesitate for a moment, and the three words came out crisply and decisively.

His eyes were open and honest, without a trace of pity.

"Me too."

The teacher and student smiled at each other.

Hua Qing recalled the conflict that broke out four years ago due to her differing beliefs with Qi Yanran.

At this moment, a new chapter was completely turned in her heart.

At that time, she wanted to win so badly, and she wanted to prove that she was a unique genius.

now.

Hua Qing is still a unique genius, but she can lose, and she can afford to lose...

"I'm leaving now. I wish the performance of 'Looking at the Sea' a great success!"

"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you to start school in September."

Qi Yanran handed a badge to Hua Qing; the badge bore the emblem of the Beijing Dance Academy.

"Welcome to Beijing Dance Academy."

Hua Qing reached out and took the badge, her fingertips gently stroking the cool metal surface.

What she should have had four years ago.

After going around in circles, it still ended up in her hands.

"Thank you, Teacher Qi."

She clutched the badge tightly and turned to walk towards the exit.

Outside the venue, the night breeze was slightly cool.

Ding Heng stood at the bottom of the steps, hands in his pockets, looking relaxed.

"Senior, are you alright?"

Hua Qing didn't answer. She silently walked down the steps to Ding Heng, then leaned forward and fell into his arms.

The next second, she started wailing.

The heartbroken child who lost the game finally found a comforting embrace to cry in.

For the past two months, she has been alone in the capital.

Training, injuries, insomnia, loneliness...

She thought she could handle it.

She believed that as long as she could win in the end, all the sacrifices would be worthwhile.

But she lost today.

We lost fair and square; we lost without a second thought.

She was genuinely happy for Fan Chenxi and felt that he was worth it.

But she was still not satisfied!

The fact that hard work doesn't always guarantee a reward is an extremely cruel thing...

In front of Qi Yanran and Fan Chenxi, Hua Qing needs to maintain the dignity and pride of a dancer.

But Ding Heng is her man.

It's not shameful to cry to your own man!

Hua Qing's cries grew louder and louder.

Ding Heng said nothing, but gently stroked the back of her head.

Finally, Hua Qing cried herself to sleep.

"Ding Heng".

"Ok?"

"I lost."

"I know."

Aren't you going to comfort me?

"It's okay, senior, you were great! You were just not in the best of form today! You'll definitely do better next time!"

"Um...can you be a little more sincere?"

Hua Qing lifted her head from Ding Heng's embrace, her eyes red and swollen, her face streaked with tears, completely unlike her usual aloof and arrogant demeanor.

"What do you mean by 'not sincere'? Aren't those words just women's language?"

"Pfft... I hate you!"

Hua Qing was amused and stopped crying while Ding Heng wiped the corners of her eyes with his fingertips.

"Senior, you're too tense. Why don't you go relax with them during the summer vacation?"

"How many of them are there?"

"There are five of them, including you, and you know them all well."

"Scumbag..."

Hua Qing continued to grumble, but did not object.

The system interface quietly appeared in my mind.

Chapter 196: The Fairy's Mind Goes Absent-Minded...

The day after the performance, at 6:30 in the morning.

Ding Heng opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, rubbed his eyes, and scurried around on the floor with his bare feet.

My left foot stepped into the slipper, but my right foot only touched the cold floor.

He looked down and saw that his right foot was empty, and his other slipper had been kicked somewhere.

Forget it...

Ding Heng simply stepped barefoot onto the floor and walked towards the bathroom.

Pushing open the door, I saw Hua Qing standing in front of the sink, wearing a light gray slip dress, her hair loosely draped over her shoulders, and an electric toothbrush buzzing in her hand.

Hearing the noise, Hua Qing glanced at Ding Heng through the mirror and mumbled a "Good morning" indistinctly.

"morning……"

Ding Heng stopped behind Hua Qing and reached for his toothbrush.

Hmm... empty?

He looked up at the mirror, where Hua Qing was tightly gripping a gray-blue brush handle in her right hand.

"Senior."

Ding Heng called out softly, but Hua Qing didn't respond; the electric toothbrush was still buzzing.

"Senior!"

Ding Heng reached out and patted Hua Qing's shoulder lightly. She seemed to wake up from a dream and responded in a daze.

"Hmm, what for?"

"Didn't you notice something was wrong?"

Hua Qing stopped brushing her teeth and looked at Ding Heng in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Ding Heng didn't say anything, but picked up the pink and white electric toothbrush that belonged to Hua Qing and held it up in front of her, gently shaking it.

But Hua Qing was still not fully awake and actually asked, "Why did you take my toothbrush?"

Ding Heng was both amused and exasperated: "Senior, why don't you go back to sleep for a while?"

"I……"

Hua Qing glanced down at the toothbrush in her hand, finally realizing what had happened, and blushed with embarrassment.

"I...I didn't notice!"

"fine."
