Chapter 122 - Seems Like I Owe Her From The Past!
Chapter 122 – Seems Like I Owe Her From The Past!
Song Ai took a deep breath and said in a low voice, " I can't believe we're going to debut in a month. It's just…unbelievable." When she decided to become a trainee at shining bright, she was full of energy and dreams. Like everyone she also wanted to be loved by her fans and people who appreciate her music.
However, slowly and steadily, that passion was pressed by people who keep throwing hate and disrespectful comments at her. But now…her dream is about to come true. They are going to debut as a group and it's only happening because of Xu Nuan.
" Everything feels like a dream." Pan Lan added as she glanced at Song Ai and placed a hand over hers which was trembling.
" Hope this dream will never end." Sun Ya added while looking at them with a nervous smile. The whole situation felt surreal that they are going to debut, there are unsaid expectations that they have which were giving them anxiety but was making them excited as well.
Xu Nuan smiled seeing their expressions as she could understand their nervousness and excitement because she had gone through the same phase when she was about to debut. Before their debut as trainees, they had practiced like crazy. They practiced the same routine for hours just to perfect every move and after some time, a time came where they could memorize the whole routine in a few hours.
The perfection comes with practice and the fame comes at a stake. She looked at the four girls which reminded her of themselves, full of passion and talent. She let out a breath and looked down at her cup. This test was not theirs, but her as well. She needs to prove to everyone that her insight was right and she can manage the artists.
Working in shining bright is like an internship period for her and she's gonna work individually after this, and she can't mess up with it right now. This is the time where she can make her connections and find a place for herself. Because rather than proving to the world, she needs to prove to herself that she can do it.
" Lai Yi, you don't have anything to say?" Xu Nuan turned to the girl who was sitting there quietly with her head held down. She didn't say anything all this while and was drinking her green tea only without saying anything.
She slowly raised her head and looked at her weakly, " Yes?"
Xu Nuan frowned seeing the girl's pale complexion and that she didn't hear anything and was just sitting there, lost in her world.
" Ah, Lai Yi is on diet. That's why she looks so tired and might have missed our conversation ." Sun Ya responded awkwardly.
Xu Nuan frowned upon hearing Sun Ya's words as she turned to Lai Yi, " Diet? Diet is fine but…don't tell me you're skipping meals?" Xu Nuan looked at the girl in worry. Her face was pale and she looked as if she had no energy in her body.
Lai Yi forced a smile and said, " Fasting is necessary to lose weight. I can't let the other girls down because of me" she said bitterly.
Xu Nuan frowned when she realized that Lai Yi took the words of Wang Meili quite seriously. She knows that she needs to lose some fat to look presentable in those stage outfits. But she doesn't want her to go on such extreme diets which causes her to look like this.
If she can't lose weight fast then let it be. She never forced her to do serious diets, she only prohibited them from eating junk and told them to get something healthier rather than greasy and oily food. Diet is necessary for idols just for studying daily for someone preparing for exams. However, no one should overwork themselves to the point where their body has to suffer.
" Lai Yi, fasting helps in losing weight when used in the right way. What you're trying to do is pure torture. You guys dance for more than 10 hours and even workout and jog when not doing exercise. Along with that, you're doing fasting? Are you crazy?" she said in disbelief.
In the last few weeks, she was busy with the recording and finding the music producer that why she couldn't focus on their lifestyle and this happened.
" Weight loss in a healthy way must be your goal and not the crash course weight loss. Do you know what will happen if you keep forcing your body to starve like this? You will have no energy and you might not be able to stand and have to go to the ER on a stretcher. Do you want to debut and meet fans or wants to go to the ER, missing all the activities?" she asked in an authoritative tone.
Lai Yi pursed her lips and said nervously, " But…I need to lose weight. Manager Wang was right. I don't look like an idol. I..I don't know." she choked as she couldn't contain her tears anymore and resulted in crying in front of everyone.
The members were also shocked to see her crying like this. It was their first time to see her crying in front of everyone. All this while, they didn't realize that she was struggling so much and Wang Meili's words hurt her this much. Since she was smiling and laughing with them, they thought everything was fine.
" Lai Yi, don't cry. Don't cry. I am sorry that we didn't realize that you were suffering so much. I am sorry." Sun Ya who was sitting beside her, hugged her crying friend.
Song Ai and Pan Lan also stood up and went to her side, and hugged them, " You stupid. Who said that you're not beautiful? You should be proud that you have big breasts unlike me." Song Ai said jokingly to make her laugh, and it worked.
Lai Yi chuckled hearing her words while crying.
Pan Lan hugged them tightly, almost crushing Lai Yi and Sun Ya, and glanced at Song Ai nodding that she did well. She also added, " Also, do you know how soft your hands are? My hands look like a man, rough and long. I have always been envious of your soft pretty hands." she said while trying to make her feel better.
Sun Ya also sniffled and said in a low voice, " Ah. what to do? I don't have any flaws, is that my flaw?" she said innocently. This made everyone laugh at her innocent yet narcissistic attitude.
Xu Nuan sighed seeing the girls crying and laughing while hugging each other like a big chunk of luggage, she smiled but when she looked around, she covered her face with her palms as they were acting like this in the cafe and everyone was staring at them.
After the girls calmed down, Xu Nuan looked at Lai Yi and said, " You better don't skip your meals anymore. And you guys, you're a team. It's your responsibility to check on your member if she is doing alright. Okay? Let's have only this positive energy till the debut."
Xu Nuan stretched her hand and the girls also placed their hands over hers and raised their hands in the air and said, " Fighting!"

Jia Fei was standing in the middle of the living room and looked at the luggage boxes filling the spacious area. She sighed and wondered if she made any mistake by moving into the new house. Now there is so much to clean and organize.
When Jiang Yue was alive, they had planned to move into the Glory building together which was still in construction at that time since they knew that the security of this building was going to be top-notch, they were quite interested in it because of it. For celebrities and idols, security is the most important factor that they look for while searching for a place. Because places with weak security can be scary and dangerous. Also, this place was in the news all along at that time for its modern and artistic design.
Her expressions dimmed remembering that she has moved into this place but Jiang Yue is not with them.
" Jia Fei, what are you doing? Aren't you going to help me in unpacking these boxes?" she raised her head when she heard Luo Dan's angry voice who was unpacking the boxes in front of her, while she was just…thinking.
She bought this place for herself but Luo Dan also clung to her since her sister got married and shifted abroad while her parents live in the hometown. She doesn't like the lonely feeling of living alone, that's why she came to live with her.
She sighed seeing the girl who is generally very gentle and speaks in a low voice but turns into an angry mom when she sees the mess around her. She stared at her and started to regret her choice right away.
" I am opening, opening," she said while avoiding her scrutinizing glare and started opening the boxes on the ground one by one.
