However, when Tong Luo looked at Qi Wu once more after practicing by herself for more than ten minutes, she found that Qi Wu was no longer playing with her phone.

She was not pleased about it though.

That was because Qi Wu started daydreaming after she stopped playing with her phone.

Tong Luo was speechless.

She had a feeling that Qi Wu was slacking off, and she had evidence.

Thus, Tong Luo felt responsible for motivating Qi Wu to practice as well through her own hard work.

She walked over and said, “Let’s practice together, Qi Wu.”

Nothing was better at improving relationships and pushing each other to greater heights than practicing together.

Tong Luo sat down beside Qi Wu. “I’ve been studying Mr. Song’s script recently. There’s a scene where two love rivals fight.”

“Sure.”

Qi Wu continued, “Can you show me the script?”

Tong Luo eagerly handed over the script she was holding.

Qi Wu took the script and quickly read it.

Tong Luo did not dare to disturb her, so she silently waited.

A few minutes later, Qi Wu put down the script and softly said, “We can start now.”

“Sure…really?”

Tong Luo had responded out of habit before realizing what Qi Wu said. Her eyes widened with shock. “Have you read through everything already?”

How many minutes had passed? Qi Wu nodded. “Yes, let’s begin.”

“Okay!”

Tong Luo felt a burning desire to find out just how talented Qi Wu was.

Tong Luo had won the Gilly Blossom Best Newcomer Award the year she debuted, and she had not let herself go to waste these past few years. Instead, she had been lying low, so she was very confident in herself.

“How do you know that’s what I want?”

Qi Wu spat out her lines coldly and aggressively. She stared at Tong Luo with indifferent eyes as she calmly exuded an oppressive air.

“What can a sheltered young miss like you understand?”

Despite how gently the line was delivered, her voice rang with an inexplicable strength that seemed boosted by the strong emotions suppressed deep in her heart.

Tong Luo was stunned.

After three seconds of silence, she snapped back to her senses and acted out

pal L.

There were only a dozen lines in this scene, but Tong Luo felt unusually satisfied.

The feeling of being immersed in the scene, subconsciously merging with the character and reacting like she was the character in the play instead of acting it out.

All of that was possible because of Qi Wu’s efforts.

She was dumbfounded.

“Qi Wu, this isn’t your first time acting, is it?” Tong Luo blurted out.

Qi Wu had to be more experienced and mature than many veteran actors since she was able to seamlessly immerse her fellow actors in the scene.

Qi Wu shook her head.

Just as Tong Luo was about to heave a sigh of relief, she heard Qi Wu say, “Including the scene in the afternoon, this is my second time.”

Tong Luo was rendered speechless.

She was almost choked in shock.

She was not jealous at all.

That was because there was no way to compete with that at all, so even jealousy became a luxury.

However, Tong Luo did not feel defeated. Instead, she became even more excited.

She now had a new target in her career.

Thus, after the scene ended, Tong Luo excitedly said to Qi Wu, “I will work hard to be your equal!”

Her face was slightly flushed. It was not because she was angry, but because of her overwhelming emotions.

Qi Wu smiled slightly at her.

Priestesses divined and brought hope and perspective to the rest of the world, so she naturally became someone who could control a room with her presence.

She did not have a talent for acting. It was all because she had too many emotions locked away from the great number of people she had met over the years.

Now, the feelings she felt did not need to be hidden away since she was not a priestess. She could experience a different life.

At that moment, the lights in the practice room suddenly went out.

In the darkness, Tong Luo’s terrified scream sounded exceptionally loud and clear.

Qi Wu frowned and looked at the black shadow that flashed past the door.

Then, she reached out and put her arms around Tong Luo’s shoulders, saying in a comforting tone, “Don’t be scared.”

Her voice was so gentle that it made Tong Luo, who had been trembling with fear, slowly calm down.

However, she still covered her head with both hands and curled up in Qi Wu’s arms.

“It’s Tong Fei. It’s her…” Her voice trembled.

Tong Luo would never forget that not long after Tong Fei returned to the Tong family, she locked the young Tong Luo in an underground storeroom that no one cared about.

She still remembered that room. Light was nowhere to be found, and junk was piled up haphazardly around the room. There were even rats.

She curled up in the corner without moving, and the sounds of the rats rang loud in her ears. Her fear of the dark was like a giant hand grabbing her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.

It was only two days later before she was found. Her mother had realized that something was wrong and kicked up a fuss so the Tong family sent someone to look for her.

When found, Tong Luo was on the verge of death. From then on, she had always been afraid of the dark.

Qi Wu turned on the light on her phone and looked down at Tong Luo. “We have light. I’ll lead you out.”

The light from the phone lit up the room and dispelled the panic in Tong Luo’s mind.

She panted heavily and moved to stand up, but because of how intense her fear was, her legs were too weak to walk on.

“I don’t have the strength,’ Tong Luo said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Wu suddenly shoved the phone into Tong Luo’s arms. Tong Luo stared in confusion before Qi Wu lifted her in a bridal carry.

Tong Luo was speechless.

Qi Wu looked much thinner than her. In addition, Tong Luo trained all year round. Even so, Qi Wu could still carry her so easily.

When Qi Wu carried her out to the brightly lit corridor and placed her down, Tong Luo dazedly handed the phone back. Qi Wu took the phone. “Wait here for a while.”

“Wait! ” Tong Luo quickly stopped her. “I’ll go with you!”

“Okay. ”

Qi Wu did not refuse her request.

Now that they were in a bright place, Tong Luo gradually recovered her strength. Soon, the two of them found the cable that powered the room’s lights.

Tong Luo clenched her fists as she saw the power cord that led to the classroom had been cut.

“Tong Fei,” she spat out through gritted teeth.

Qi Wu glanced at her. “You can feel hatred, but don’t let it drive you.”

The flames of hatred would destroy others, but they would also destroy the owner in the end.

Tong Luo was stunned for a moment. Her dark eyes slowly brightened up. “…I know.”

Qi Wu looked at the cut power cord and calmly made a phone call.

Tong Luo did not know what she was going to do and simply looked at her in confusion.

The other person soon picked up and Qi Wu said, “Hello, I want to report that someone is deliberately destroying public property.”

Meanwhile, in the control room.

Qu Man was still a little confused when she received a call from an unknown number. When she heard what Qi Wu said, she was speechless..
