Chapter 64 - 64: Song Qj, a Vengeful Spirit
“Acting? She chose Mr. Shen’s class, so I thought she would go through the Idol door…”
“Nonsense! I thought she would choose the Musician door because of the talent showcase!”
“All I can say is that we can never know what the big shots think.”
Qi Wu stepped through the door.
At the end of the corridor was another room. Song Qi sat behind a table in the room, waiting for her with a serious look on his face.
Upon seeing Qi Wu’s calm expression, Song Qi inexplicably felt the urge to chat with her. “You attended Shen Xi’s class. Why didn’t you go through the Idol door”
Song Qi would never admit that he asked that because it bothered him.
Qi Wu casually glanced at him and tilted her head in thought. After a while, she softly said, “Vengeful spirit.”
It was a critical hit!
Song Qi was dumbfounded. He could only watch as Qi Wu took a seat behind him.
In contrast to Song Qi’s stunned expression, Hu Mofei was delighted as he watched from the control room. He rubbed his hands together in glee as he kept talking to Qu Man.
“Qu Man, did you see that? Hahahaha! It has been a long time since I’ve seen Song suffer!”
“My darling daughter is amazing. Her tongue is so sharp!”
Hu Mofei was not angry at that. In fact, he felt pride at that thought.
Qu Man speechlessly glanced at him. “Whatever.”
After Qi Wu, Jiang Yiran, Tong Luo, Jiang Xuxu, and the others chose their doors.
Jiang Yiran, Tan Song, and Ke Lu all chose the Musician door while Jiang Xuxu and Qiu Yan chose the Idol door.
Jiang Xuxu frowned when she saw Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan had seemingly disappeared from the contest after the incident. Jiang Xuxu suddenly realized that it had been a long time since she last argued with
Qiu Yan.
Soon, all the spots were filled.
The remaining 40 contestants were naturally unwilling to give up. They quickly began to choose their opponents.
A small number of contestants succeeded in their challenges and managed to replace the other contestants, but most of them eventually had to leave the contest.
Each room had a screen connected to the surveillance cameras so that the players inside the rooms could see what was happening outside.
When Tong Luo saw the contestants who had failed their challenges walk out of the room with dejected expressions, she instinctively grabbed Qi Wu’s wrist.
Qi Wu looked at her.
The calm in her eyes reassured Tong Luo. She smiled and said, “We’ll make it to the end, right?”
Qi Wu quietly gazed into her eyes. Just when Tong Luo was about to give up, Qi
Wu finally spoke. “We will.”
Tong Luo smiled and pulled her hand back.
However, she knew deep in her heart…
Only one person in this room could remain to the end.
Perhaps a miracle would happen, but where would that miracle be?
After the selection ended, 40 contestants were eliminated.
They had lived together for 2 weeks, so many contestants were reluctant to leave. When the contestants finished packing their luggage and were about to leave, Qi Wu watched from behind the window as people bid each other farewell.
Partings was the most common event in a person’s life.
A long, long time ago, in that time that Qi Wu barely remembered, there was a person who would come to her temple at midnight under starlight and candlelight to beg her to pray for his safe return from an expedition.
That was the first parting of Qi Wu’s life.
She had witnessed many people part ways, be it in life or in death. However, she had only parted ways with someone a few times in her entire life.
Tong Luo finished packing her luggage and noticed Qi Wu dazedly staring out of the window. “Qi Wu, are you done packing? We need to move to our new rooms.”
Qi Wu turned around and nodded, softly replying, “All done.”
Everything she owned could fit in one backpack.
Tong Luo’s gaze fell on the backpack beside Qi Wu, feeling a bit indignant on Qi Wu’s behalf.
On the day they moved in, she noticed that Qi Wu had very few belongings.
She did not own any skincare products or cosmetics, and she only had two sets of clothes.
Stingy! How stingy!
This was the stingiest sugar daddy Tong Luo had ever seen!
40 contestants had been eliminated, so there were now empty rooms. Thus, rooms had to be reassigned.
Meanwhile, in the control room, Song Qi suddenly felt immense pressure in the air as he looked at the people staring at him.
After a while, he suddenly shouted, “What are you looking at? I have always been fair and strict. I never give anyone a free pass. You all know that!”
Hu Mofei sneered. “What if my daughter’s new roommate is a schemer like Tong Fei?”
Tang Liuhua let out a long sigh. “Song, I only have one student. Tan Song…”
Qu Man looked at the screen in front of her and said without looking back, “Song, if you don’t cave in now, the contestants you like might just be harshly treated.”
That was exactly what Song Qi did not want.
He softly cursed, “Is Qi Wu really so amazing that they would treat their future as a joke?”
Shen Xi, who had been quietly watching, suddenly laughed. “Mr. Song, could it be that they’re not fooling around with their future, but rather without Qi Wu, they might still be lost and confused?”
Shen Xi’s question had Song Qi pondering.
Now that he thought about it, Qi Wu was influencing the people around her, silently guiding them along their paths.
Song Qi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. “Alright, but this will be the only time!”
He had never expected that he would go against the principles he had adhered to for more than 10 years all because of a young girl.
More importantly, that girl had just insulted him to his face not long ago.
He was not someone who held grudges and insisted on revenge. There was no one more magnanimous than him.
Song Qi could not help but grumble.
Actually, Hu Mofei and the others’ requests were simple. They wanted Qi Wu and the others to live together.
It was just a matter of changing the dormitory numbers. To Song Qi, it did not really challenge any of his principles. Thus, in the end, he went along with their wishes.
When Tong Luo dragged Qi Wu over to the staff members to see which rooms they were assigned to, she heaved a sigh of relief.
“This is great, Qi Wu. We are all staying in the same villa!”
Tong Luo smiled.
While she would not get to stay in the same room as Qi Wu, at least they were still living in the same villa.
Moreover, Tan Song and Jiang Yiran were staying in the villa next to theirs.
Qi Wu nodded. “Yes, we’re still together.”
At that moment, Jiang Xuxu’s voice called out from downstairs.. “Sweetie, Tong Luo, are you guys ready? After we place our stuff in our new rooms, we still have to send Qin Jiayan off!”
