“We’ll definitely pass the preliminary round…”

Zhou Xuefang was halfway through her sentence when she saw Meng Na froze. She was holding her phone, her face pale.

“Nana, what’s wrong?” She leaned forward and saw the trending topic. Suddenly, she didn’t know what to say.

If the comments were all nasty, they might be haters bought by another agency. However, the comments were…

[No matter what, it’s Nana’s hard work. Haters are too mean.]

[It’s not bad. It’s not that bad. But to be honest, I’ve heard it twice, but I still can’t remember a single word.]

It sounded…very objective.

Compared to the hate comments, this was worse for Meng Na.

“They don’t know anything, don’t take it to heart.”

“We’ll ask Ms. Jing to help you get some support, it’ll be fine.”

She tried to console her, but Meng Na remained silent.

Zhou Xuefang did not like the heavy atmosphere. She walked to the ground floor of the dormitory and pretended like she had stuff to do.

Meng Na returned to the dormitory alone. She was still upset about the netizens’ comments about her new song.

Right, there was a die-hard fan of hers among the freshmen this year.

She added Yang Xiaotao on WeChat last time, so she sent her the song.

Yang Xiaotiao replied within seconds.

[Tao: “My idol! I even recorded the live version of your sining at the opening ceremony yesterday!”]

Meng Na smiled.

[Meng Na: “What do you think?”]

Then, she saw that she was typing for a long time.

Meng Na frowned.

Five minutes later, she received a reply.

[Tao: “Of course I think it’s nice~”]

It felt a little forced.

[Meng Na: “Really?”]

Very soon, she regretted asking this question, because this time, Yang Xiaotao replied within seconds.

[Tao: “If you want me to be honest… I have to say that it’s not memorable…”]

Meng Na’s heart sank.

On the first night at the dorm, Su Ji had insomnia.

She wasn’t used to living with others.

Later, she imagined the three others as the palace maid, the nanny, and the beauty…

Then, she felt more comfortable

When she opened her eyes in the morning, the time was only 6 o’clock.

Su Ji rubbed the space between her brows. She did not sleep well, and she looked annoyed.

When she walked to the bathroom, there was already someone inside who was still on the phone.

“Mom, I’ve already told you that I’m in the dorm. Don’t call me if there’s nothing important.”

“I’m begging you, please keep the clothes you bought for yourself. I’m a celebrity now, after all. I’ll be a laughingstock if this gets out.”

“Alright, alright, I really don’t want to talk to you anymore …”

Su Ji yawned and turned to leave. The doorknob turned and Zhou Xuefang walked out.

Seeing that it was her, Su Ji raised her eyebrows. The tone of the person who answered the phone just now was very different from the usual Zhou Xuefang.

As for Zhou Xuefang, she was even more embarrassed when she saw Su Ji standing outside the door.

Did she hear that?

Meng Na and Pan Lian also woke up soon after. Zhou Xuefang lowered her head and walked past Su Ji, returning to her bed to start packing.

“Su Ji,” Pan Lian rubbed her sleepy eyes and said to Su Ji, “the registration for the live competition will be closed this weekend. I plan to go to Coach Liu to register after breakfast. Do you want to come along?”

Meng Na and Zhou Xuefang exchanged glances.

Did they hear wrong?

Su Ji also wanted to sign up?

Su Ji saw the undisguised mockery in their eyes.

“Sure!” She smiled.
