At around eight-thirty in the evening, Luofeng, Duanmu Yunji, and Qin Rubing returned to the apartnt.
Duanmu Yunji announced she needed to do so last-minute cramming. After all, her performance was the next day.
Knowing she wouldn’t have peace with Luofeng in her apartnt, Duanmu Yunji directly pushed Luofeng and Qin Rubing into Qin Rubing’s apartnt across the hall, telling them to make their own fun there.
In Qin Rubing’s apartnt, Luofeng called out to her, "Rubing, didn’t you say you wanted to lose weight? Right?"
"Ah? What about it?" Qin Rubing asked, puzzled.
"I have a thod for losing weight!" Luofeng declared.
Qin Rubing looked at Luofeng skeptically. Ever since they had gotten together, she had beco increasingly aware of his many tricks; if she wasn’t careful, she would fall into one of his traps.
"What thod? For weight loss?" Qin Rubing asked cautiously.
"The main way to lose weight is through exercise, that’s correct, isn’t it?" Luofeng began.
"That’s true!" Qin Rubing nodded.
Exercise was known as the healthiest way to lose weight. However, many people couldn’t stick with it. Whether it was running, swimming, or any other sport, most people disliked it. After all, who preferred feeling tired over being lazy?
As for dieting? It was indeed effective in the short term but very unfriendly to the body.
"Have you ever heard of the Automation Major?" Luofeng asked seriously.
Qin Rubing beca curious. "I know Wudaokou Vocational College has an Automation Major. What about it?"
"Co on, let teach you the combined practical application of the Automation Major and weight loss!" Luofeng pulled Qin Rubing over.
After they ’clocked in,’ they first washed up in the main bathroom. Then they began practicing how to lose weight using the Automation Major.
This ’weight loss session’ was quite successful. Normally, half an hour would have sufficed. However, with the help of the Automation Major practice, the exercise lasted for almost an hour. Perhaps it was because Qin Rubing’s expertise in the ’Automation Major’ wasn’t quite up to par, as she always faltered at critical monts.
At ten o’clock in the evening, Qin Rubing leaned into Luofeng’s embrace, breathing a little heavily as she said coquettishly, "You just know how to bully !"
"No, no, no, I also know how to bully Yunji!" Luofeng said with a laugh.
"Besides, if I could bully both of you together, that would be even better!" Luofeng added.
Qin Rubing hmphed coquettishly. "Hmph, in your dreams!"
Luofeng didn’t argue. So things couldn’t be rushed; they needed to develop naturally.
Luofeng woke up early the next day. It was, after all, the day of Duanmu Yunji’s stage performance, and he hadn’t gone to see her the previous day. She needed to be at the Official Television Station’s backstage makeup room before nine o’clock for her guest appearance. Both Luofeng and Qin Rubing planned to watch the live performance.
At seven-thirty in the morning, Luofeng drove Duanmu Yunji to the Official Television Station. Kang Min, a teacher from the Official Music Academy, was already waiting for Duanmu Yunji. When Yunji arrived, Kang Min let out a long sigh of relief.
"Quickly, Yunji, go backstage and prepare. I’ll update you on the situation!" Kang Min said hurriedly.
Luofeng called out, "Teacher Kang, can we go backstage to have a look?"
Kang Min hesitated but ultimately nodded. "No problem, follow . I’ll lead you in!"
Kang Min knew Luofeng was Duanmu Yunji’s Fairy-boyfriend.
Luofeng and Qin Rubing then followed her backstage. Kang Min led all three of them to the makeup room assigned to the Official Music Academy. She then quickly left again, seemingly busy with sothing else.
In the makeup room, Lin ixin and Zhang Ke had already arrived. Both were also set to perform.
Lin ixin, in a long black dress, was practicing playing the piano blindfolded.
anwhile, Zhang Ke was dressed in a tailcoat, exuding an air of high society. I wonder if he got that from one of those big online departnt stores? aning, is it a knockoff?
Seeing Duanmu Yunji, Lin ixin joked, "Yunji, you’re not planning on going on stage like that, are you?"
Duanmu Yunji was still wearing her down jacket. She replied, "The backstage air conditioning isn’t very strong, and I’m afraid of the cold. I’ll change into my dress in a little while!"
"Oh, okay!" Lin ixin nodded, then went back to practicing.
About ten minutes later, Kang Min returned to the makeup room and asked, "Yunji, I’ve borrowed a gown for you. Co with , let’s get you changed!"
Duanmu Yunji shook her head. "Thank you, Teacher Kang, I’ve brought my own gown. Teacher Lin Hui specifically reminded last night to rember to bring it—I definitely wouldn’t forget!"
Lin Hui was Duanmu Yunji’s personal ntor. Kang Min was, naturally, also from the academy. She had co to the venue to oversee things.
"Oh, I see. Well, I guess that was unnecessary of !" Kang Min said, a bit embarrassed.
Luofeng chid in, "Thank you, Teacher Kang, for your consideration. In fact, Yunji just feels a bit cold. She’ll change just before going on stage. By the way, when is Yunji scheduled to perform?"
"Zhang Ke is first, Lin ixin second, and Duanmu Yunji third," Kang Min replied quickly.
"The closing act?" Luofeng inquired.
"Mm-hm!" Kang Min nodded. "Yunji, make sure you perform well later!"
"I will, Teacher!" Duanmu Yunji nodded.
Luofeng couldn’t help but look at Duanmu Yunji. This Capital City Great Cat was surprisingly capable, wasn’t she? Before the New Year, he often took Duanmu Yunji out to have fun during the day, and at night, they’d get into mischief at ho. And yet, this kitty actually managed to secure the closing act? It seed she wasn’t just a skilled racer, but also an excellent pianist.
Duanmu Yunji looked towards Luofeng with a coy humph. "Surprised, aren’t you?"
"Indeed, I am," Luofeng admitted, genuinely impressed.
By nine o’clock, Luofeng and Qin Rubing had arrived at their audience seats. The friends and family tickets from the Official Music Academy were in the third row, which was already quite prestigious. After all, the first row was reserved for the judges of the violin and piano competition. The second row would surely be filled with masters or veterans from the violin and piano world. Wasn’t the third row prestigious enough?
At nine o’clock, the host of the competition began the announcents, and the guest performance segnt comnced. Zhang Ke played a piece called THEBEIGINNING.
This was a piece Luofeng knew quite well. Zhang Ke’s performance was standard, without any faults, but it also lacked any particular highlights.
I could probably do just as well if I went up there. Luofeng thought.
