The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 378

There was a small accident during the rehearsal on the 5th, because the concert venue in Lin'an was too big!

It was a sports stadium, Huanglong Sports Center, which could accommodate over 50,000 people.

According to Zhao Tiancheng, a total of 54,000 tickets were sold for the Lin'an concert!

All sold out!

And not just facing the stage in one direction. Tianming had to make adjustments to the rehearsal of each song, especially the dance which could no longer be danced facing just one direction.

You have to know that now the situation is that the audience will be seated in a 360-degree circle!

This was also the largest venue Tianming had ever performed at.

The rehearsal that day lasted until very late. The seven members kept making adjustments here and there, constantly nitpicking details in pursuit of a perfect performance.

It was 12 o’clock at night when they finally returned to the hotel drenched in sweat.

Zhao Tiancheng asked, "How was it? Tired?"

Ge Dongxuan said, "Exhausted! I really don’t have the stamina."

Zhao Tiancheng said, "Ge Dongxuan really needs to exercise more properly. Look at Nan Xiangwan, she's not even panting."

Nan Xiangwan happened to be drinking water next to them. She turned her head when she heard her name.

No, she was panting too.

Just not sweating.

After a whole day, the other six members were nearly spent, even the most physically fit, Yun Qian, had changed her sweat-soaked clothes several times.

Nan Xiangwan was just panting without sweating. She hadn't even reached her usual amount of exercise.

She needed to step it up!

Zhao Tiancheng then asked, "Are you confident about tomorrow?"

He felt today's rehearsal was still not enough...

The venue change was too drastic, the adjustments too many, Zhao Tiancheng was truly worried.

Ge Dongxuan said, "I suspect I'll make a wrong move."

Zhao Tiancheng said, "You’ve never gotten it right!”

Ge Dongxuan: "Wah wah wah!"

Zhu Sha said, "Xuan don't worry, if you really make a mistake on stage, just stop and cover it up with a high note.”

Ge Dongxuan: "Oh, good idea."

Zhao Tiancheng: “So she has to keep hitting high notes from the 7 pm start to the 9:30 pm finish?"

Ge Dongxuan: "......"

"Hahaha!"

"This is too funny!"

"Pfft~"

Everyone else burst out laughing. The tense atmosphere vanished in an instant.

Seeing everyone finally relax, Zhao Tiancheng also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He patted each of them on the shoulder, "Just go all out tomorrow, go get some sleep!"

That night, everyone slept like pigs, dead to the world in utter exhaustion.

The next day, Zhao Tiancheng had to go knock on everyone’s doors one by one to get them up, from Zhu Sha's room all the way to Zhou Wenxia’s.

The six got up, looking nervous.

Zhao Tiancheng glanced around and felt a jolt in his chest, "Where's Nan Xiangwan?"

Ge Dongxuan asked: "What time is it now?"

Zhao Tiancheng replied: “Never mind what time it is, I'm asking where Nan Xiangwan is!"

Ge Dongxuan said, "I have to know the time first to judge where she might be! This hotel has a gym, right?"

Zhu Sha said, "A five-star hotel would have a gym and a swimming pool. Are you implying..."

Ge Dongxuan said, "There's a ten thousand and one percent chance she's at the gym."

Zhao Tiancheng???

He arranged for the other six to go for breakfast while rushing to the gym alone to look for Nan Xiangwan.

And indeed, there she was in exercise clothes, zipping along the treadmill.

The speed was set so high her legs were practically a blur!

Since it was early, she had the entire gym to herself. But her intense workout filled the space with an aura of steel.

Zhao Tiancheng was shocked!

Was Nan Xiangwan not tired enough that she had to work out at the gym this early in the morning?

His teammates were so exhausted they could hardly get up, yet here she was, running on the treadmill!

Damn!

Without a second word, Zhao Tiancheng went up to pull her off, but he couldn’t budge her one bit.

Nan Xiangwan looked at him strangely, “What’s up, Boss Zhao?”

Zhao Tiancheng said, “Time for breakfast. We’ll be setting off soon.”

Nan Xiangwan said, “Alright.”

She got off the treadmill and proceeded to remove the 80 kg of weighted bands around her waist, legs, and arms - a total of 80 kg!

Zhao Tiancheng: "!!!"

Nan Xiangwan said, “Let me return these then I’ll come.”

Zhao Tiancheng was now sputtering, “Oh, okay, sure, you go ahead.”

After returning to her room and going back down to the dining room, Nan Xiangwan felt somewhat dissatisfied. She had been so busy recently that she neglected training, thus her 80 kg weighted load had not increased one bit for some time now.

Apart from her busy schedule, she had also hit a plateau.

Her next physical breakthrough would probably take some time.

Nan Xiangwan felt regretful. Sigh!

Breakfast was a buffet. Her teammates were walking about picking out food, already piling a table full of dishes.

Seeing Nan Xiangwan enter, Zhu Sha waved her over immediately, “Xiangwan here!”

Nan Xiangwan went to sit with them as Zhu Sha scooted the food nearer to her. The others returned carrying even more food and juice.

They all knew Nan Xiangwan ate a lot.

After breakfast, the group boarded the bus again.

The Huanglong Sports Center was not far. They were staying at a nearby hotel, only twenty minutes away.

The styling crews set off around the same time to gather backstage.

It was time for makeup and wardrobe!

Jing Da Shuai stood by Nan Xiangwan's side for a very long time, personally giving her skin the base makeup.

Nan Xiangwan found it strange, "What's wrong with you?"

Jing Da Shuai lowered his voice, "Nothing much, your complexion is so good my assistant isn't qualified to do your makeup."

Nan Xiangwan: "???"

That wasn’t what you said last time!

Last time, you said that for efficiency’s sake, your assistants should apply the base makeup then you’d personally touch up the finer details, an assembly line of sorts.

Nan Xiangwan remembered it clear as day!

Why the sudden change of mind after just a few days?

Jing Da Shuai was rather embarrassed, "Alright, just let it go."

Nan Xiangwan said, "Well, you don't have to keep your back facing Monica right? Will she eat you up or something?"

Jing Da Shuai instantly bristled up like an alarmed cat and yelled loudly, "When was I avoiding her?!"

His voice was loud and agitated, even stomping his feet.

Everyone in the waiting room looked over. All activity ceased.

Tianming’s members were baffled, faces full of confusion.

Nan Xiangwan helplessly facepalmed. Jing Da Shuai, are you a psychopath?

Unable to stand it any longer, Monica stepped forward.

Whoosh!

She shoved Jing Da Shuai against the wall. Thud!

Jing Da Shuai was 1.80 meters tall, quite tall indeed.

But Monica was Caucasian with naturally bigger bone structure, plus she was 1.77 meters herself.

So this shove and body slam made Jing Da Shuai seem a little...

Hmm, petite!

Jing Da Shuai was dumbstruck, at a loss for what to do, pinned there motionless against the wall by Monica.

Monica grabbed his chin and glared fiercely, "Disturb my work again tonight and I'll fuck you dead!"

Jing Da Shuai: "......"

Others: "!!!"

Nan Xiangwan: "Whoa~~"
