The King’s Seat

The stage lights instantly dimmed, and a white spotlight shone at the end of the student passageway. The person didn’t appear, but the voice sounded first.

“Hello everyone, we’re the Sweetheart group from OAA Entertainment!” With that, Bai Yurou and Li Feifei appeared at the end of the tunnel, hand in hand.

The cameraman even gave the two of them a close-up. Soon after, the students who had already entered the stage were very cooperative and let out cries of surprise.

“They’re here! It’s people from OA Entertainment, the biggest celebrity of the show!”

“It was Bai Yurou! It’s really her, she’s so skinny and cute, and her smile is so sweet!”

“Oh my God, isn’t this face destined to enter the entertainment industry!”

“He’s good-looking, talented, and rich. Why would such a perfect person fight with us for food? it’s not fair!”

“Do we still have a chance?”

“Don’t give up! It takes seven people to form a team, and we can still fight for the other six spots!”

“If only I could be in the same class as her, then I could hug her thigh!”

…

When Qu Lin heard these compliments, she rolled her eyes.

After Bai Yurou and Li Feifei introduced themselves, Zhang Yi also gave her a few words of praise. Then he turned around and walked to the White seats specially designed for the students.

The seats were already filled with many students, but the king’s seat at the very top was empty.

Bai Yurou looked at her seat but did not sit down immediately. She seemed to be struggling with something. The entire place was silent. Everyone was looking at her, wondering which seat this Big Shot would choose. The waiting room was also very quiet.

At that moment, Bai Yurou suddenly moved. With a determined gaze, she walked to a higher spot. The seventh row, the sixth row…in the second row. She walked straight to the second row!

Bai Yurou stopped in her tracks and looked at the only student sitting in the second row.

The student thought that she would sit in the second row with her, so he extended his hand in a friendly manner to greet her.

To her surprise, Bai Yurou glanced at her and rejected her with a smile, “I’m sorry, I’m the one who wants to sit on top.”

The students were speechless.

After that, Bai Yurou walked to the first row, turned around gracefully, and sat in the king’s seat.

“BOOM!”

The stage was filled with fireworks and colorful spotlights. The music that signified the champion rang out, and it was as if Bai Yurou had already won.

The originally quiet lounge was instantly filled with excitement.

“Mother! Why am I so excited that she’s the king?”

“That’s right, I’m so touched that I’m about to cry.”

“Bai Yurou is so confident and brave! She’s my idol from now on!”

…

“Ha! What a good actor! If she was so awesome, why didn’t she go to heaven?” Qu Lin sneered and retracted her gaze. When she turned her head again, she realized that Su Yuan had already left the crowd and found a spot against the wall. She was leaning her head against the wall and resting her eyes.

Qu Lin was speechless. “I’m still the best! This mentality was amazing!”

At this moment, the staff members appeared again. Qu Lin’s heart was in her throat, but when she heard Su Yuan’s and her own names, she let out a long sigh of relief.

The students followed the staff out of the lounge, went around the backstage, and waited in a dark corner on the right side of the stage.

The staff member held the name list. “I’d like to remind you again. From the time you go on stage to your seats, you only have three minutes. If you exceed the time limit, you’ll bear the consequences! Now, the first group, Moonlight, Su Yuan and Qu Lin, get ready to go on stage.”

Qu Lin’s heart tightened. Before she could react, Su Yuan had already held her hand and walked into the dark corridor leading to the stage.

The previous group was introducing themselves on stage. Now, Qu Lin could only hear their voices, but she could not hear what they were saying. Her palms were sweating profusely.

“Take a few deep breaths, it’ll be fine.” Su Yuan’s voice wasn’t loud, but it drowned out all the other noise and slowly calmed Qu Lin’s wildly beating heart.

The two of them walked to the end of the corridor, where the staff was waiting. He turned on the flashlight and shone it on the list in his hand. “Is it Moonlight, Su Yuan and Qu Lin?”

“That’s right, it’s us,” Su Yuan’s voice was calm.

“After you enter, you have to listen to my instructions. There are cameras in front of the passage and on the table. You can make appropriate expressions and movements in these two places. Listen carefully to the content of the big screen. When your information is broadcasted, you have to appear at the exit, understand?”

Su Yuan nodded, and the staff member looked at Qu Lin.

“Understood!” Qu Lin quickly said.

At this time, the staff member took out a walkie-talkie and said, “Attention to all departments. Team number 93, Moonlight, has entered the stage.” The staff quickly opened the door behind them, and Su Yuan and Qu Lin walked in.
