Dad, Please Let Me Solo Main!

Chu Yuanqing blinked, deep in thought.

This eldest daughter of Yunlan Entertainment was quite clever.

There were currently 148 low-rated contestants on stage. If distributed evenly among the A-Class contestants, it would be about 10 per person. She had first taken in 21 contestants for herself and Ji Shuzhu. This way, she wouldn't be criticized and could win people over and gain audience favor.

Furthermore, she had considered the risk of nurturing future enemies by taking in almost exclusively the lowest-rated F-Class contestants. It was likely that other A-Class contestants would follow a similar approach.

As expected, the subsequent A-Class contestants also went with the flow and adopted similar methods.

During this time, the remaining 30 F-Class contestants were all picked up like endangered species, and more than half of the 41 D-Class contestants were also chosen. The C-Class area, stuck in the middle, was left untouched.

Chu Yuanqing felt a bit overwhelmed. The current atmosphere made it seem as if everyone below A-Class and B-Class were like abandoned children needing adoption. Leaving early would seem disrespectful to the other contestants waiting to be "adopted," but she genuinely didn't care which practice room she trained in!

Fortunately, a certain "little Sakura" who felt guilty, after repeatedly preparing herself to be stabbed, scolded, and rejected, still trotted to the front from the highest position.

The girl unconsciously put her hands behind her back. Her gaze flickered as she looked down, her long, slender, and fair fingers nervously interlaced. She pursed her pink lips and asked earnestly and cautiously:

"Xiao Qing, can you train with me from now on?"

Volume 1: Chapter 43. Wishing You, Good Luck in Your Endeavors.

The CP fans in the live stream were ecstatic seeing this scene:

"Ahhhhh, the CP I ship is so sweet!"

"Sss, the submissive little Sakura, so cute."

"Yayoi looks so nervous. I've been digging through archives all night, and her interactions with teammates before were completely different!"

"LOL, it really feels like a love letter confession."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect little Sakura to be the bottom. But Qing Bao looks so young, is she going to be the top for love?"

"Hehehe, don't forget Qing Bao's first stage, and the scene of her carrying the girl in the rain, she was super A! And she's always acted so mature, a beautiful sister with a complete contrast, more than enough to be the top!"

Fortunately, as the Dream Weaver Rabbit left, the scattered bullet comments also dissipated. Otherwise, surrounded by the barrage of comments from these CP fans, the scene of the two together would probably look overly intimate no matter how you looked at it.

Chu Yuanqing's first reaction was, "Great, I can leave this place of trouble immediately!"

But the next second, she suddenly realized something terrifying.

That was, A-Class contestants had four hours of live broadcast time every day!

If she were in the same practice room as Kiriwake Yayoi, her embarrassing stretching movements and the scenes of her learning the theme song choreography would definitely be broadcast to the public!

Although she didn't know how many fans she had now, judging by her exclusive ticket, it was clearly unusual. Combined with Kiriwake Yayoi's own fans, it was conservatively estimated that tens of thousands of people would be watching live for four hours!

Damn it, what's the difference between this and public execution?!

This kind of super terrifying thing absolutely, absolutely could not happen to her, or she would be swallowed by the curse of the Sea of Truth when she slept tonight out of sheer fear!

--Probably.

Chu Yuanqing shook her head vigorously, resisting like a cat afraid of taking a bath.

But soon, The girl saw the little Sakura become flustered and disappointed, as if imagining something, and felt unsure how to explain.

What should she do? She couldn't let the other person misunderstand that she disliked her, could she?

Chu Yuanqing's expression became serious as she racked her brain. Suddenly, inspiration struck, and she found a suitable excuse. She righteously refused:

"I'm sorry, Yayoi."

"You might think this is rigid, but I believe that treatment should be determined by performance, not by personal relationships or the opinions of others."

"My stage is only C-Class level, and the treatment I deserve should be the same. I already felt bad about taking up your time to teach me dancing in your practice room before, and it's even more so now."

After saying this, Chu Yuanqing still felt it wasn't enough and firmly blocked any attempt by the other party to persuade her:

"You don't need to worry about me. If I get eliminated in a later stage due to the hardware disparity in practice rooms, it will only mean my efforts weren't enough, and I'm not suited to be an idol."

After speaking, Chu Yuanqing recalled her comrades who had sacrificed themselves in the past, extracting real emotions from her memories, and doing her best to make her grand words more convincing.

The girl's lips curved slightly, her smile sincere, and her decisive tone carried a hint of inviolable piety:

"Because, didn't the Dream Weaver Rabbit say it?"

"The so-called idol is someone who overcomes all unreasonableness and still shines brightly on stage."

"I want to become that kind of person, and to do that, I should start from here and strive to achieve it."

As her words fell, the surrounding contestants fell silent.

The audience in the live stream, who had been arguing noisily, was greatly shocked.

The Dream Weaver Rabbit in the central hub of the underground base felt deeply gratified.

At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Chu Yuanqing seemed blessed by the gods, her back shining brilliantly, like an angel with a halo!

Normally, these words would at best be considered mere rhetoric.

But with contestants raising issues of unfairness, the vast disparity in practice rooms, the Dream Weaver Rabbit selling anxiety, and the implication that elimination meant no chance of becoming an idol, speaking these words required not only the persistence of aligning action with belief but also respect for the stage, and even faith and love for the idol profession!

It was so admirable, what a pure idol heart!

Those low-rated contestants, swayed by the Dream Weaver Rabbit's rhetoric, had blurred their own positions. For their own benefit and future, they tacitly accepted this moral coercion, silently waiting for the charity of the first A-Class trainee.

Although no one thought it was wrong.

But she, who could resist temptation, stick to her original intentions, have the courage to speak her mind, and appeared stubborn, even foolish, still shone brightly even without being on stage, just like the idols everyone yearned for.

Kiriwake Yayoi was a little dazed. Every word the other person spoke went straight to her soul.

She felt as if she had seen another version of herself in the world.

Another foolish, stubborn, determined, and immensely passionate-about-the-stage version of herself.

That's right, if she were in the other person's shoes, she would probably make the same choice.

The Dream Weaver Rabbit was right. For trainees who wanted to become idols, victory or defeat on stage meant everything. Using elements outside of the stage to gain rewards beyond a reasonable scope was itself a denial of the stage.

Kiriwake Yayoi had tasted the cold and warmth of the world and understood human relationships very well. She thought no one would be as foolish as her, but Chu Yuanqing's answer shattered that idea.

Kiriwake Yayoi felt relieved. The guilt, nervousness, hesitation, and even the desire to explain from before all vanished with these words.

Because she understood that Chu Yuanqing, who could say these things, would never care about the results of the theme song and exclusive tickets, nor would she misunderstand or harbor any ill intentions because of it.

This was an unspoken understanding between kindred spirits.

The girl's eyes softened, her expression brightened, and she smiled cheerfully, saying softly:

"I understand."

"Then I wish you good luck in your endeavors."

With that said.

Kiriwake Yayoi had no intention of actively seeking anyone out. She walked away with light steps, her skirt fluttering, her back disappearing into the distance.

Chu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, overjoyed.

As expected of me, I won over the Sakura Girl in three sentences!

The girl maintained her composure, suppressing the urge to skip, pretending to be nonchalant as she quietly got up, ready to leave.

But the next moment, "Wow, Qingqing, what you said was so awesome!"

Chu Wangshu hugged her petite body like a koala, her face full of excitement.

Chu Yuanqing stumbled. Her mind flashed back, and she suddenly remembered carrying this child to the Haido Zoo ten years ago. A wave of sadness washed over her, and she began to deceive herself.

Haha, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the child would be so big. No wonder I can barely carry her anymore.

And at the same time, The CP fans in the live stream had gone completely wild:

"Even though she refused, it somehow made them even more shippers!"

"So cute, so cute! Aren't they like a respectful young couple?"

"Oh no, Chu Yuanqing can even refuse this. How can I feel like we're shipping something real!"

"Little Sakura really knows how to pursue someone. The next line after [I wish you good luck in your endeavors] isn't [May we meet at the peak]?"

Book recommendation.

Synopsis: Luo En transmigrated to the world of Honkai: Star Rail and loaded a life simulation game. After the simulation ended, he could receive rewards based on the simulated plot.

Therefore, he simulated frantically, preparing to equip himself with divine gear and become invincible.

But he didn't expect that just as he started the game, Bronya, Seele, Herta, Fu Xuan, and others were looking at the life simulation game that appeared before them and fell into deep thought...

Years later.

"First of all, I solemnly declare that brushing up their affection was just a helpless move to save the world, and not out of personal selfishness... When you publish it, don't write my real name, just write Anonymous Hero." Luo En said evasively during an interview with reporters.

["I brushed up their affection purely out of personal selfishness. Write my real name when you publish it.

Luo En frankly confessed everything he had done. This anonymous hero, who had saved the universe several times and single-handedly resisted the crisis of the Aeons, is someone everyone is very familiar with, but few know what his real life is like.

The author will use all his ink to describe the decadent life of this Stellaron Hunter, the undying one, the mysterious anonymous hero, who is surrounded by beauties on the Astral Express, and lift the veil of mystery for everyone...

Book Title: Honkai: Star Rail, Are You a Player Too?

Volume 1: 44. Haha, it's getting better!

The live broadcast was quickly cut off.

The unspoken competition in the lecture hall also came to an end.

Kiriwake Yayoi and Xie Qingxuan were the only two among the 14 top-ranked trainees who did not voluntarily share their practice rooms, making them the target of much debate online.

"I give up. Why is Xie Qingxuan so arrogant? She's so amazing, yet she's afraid someone will use the same practice room as her? She has no perspective at all."

"Oh, right, right, you're the one with the most perspective, so much so that you're speaking up for your idol."

"Hard to say. Looking at the performance of the other top A's, Xie Qingxuan truly has no emotional intelligence."

"Hahaha, stop with the moral high ground. I just like the 'Great Demon King's' straightforward personality."

"This is what online beggars are like. Who are you blaming for your idol's lackluster performance on stage? Blaming others for not giving you charity, is that it?"

Xie Qingxuan's fanbase was enormous. Together with other casual fans, anti-fans, and trolls impersonating fans, they ignited a colossal war that spread from the live stream rooms to Douyin, Tieba, Weibo, QQ groups, and WeChat groups, nearly destroying the Great Dao itself.

As for Kiriwake Yayoi...

Well, the situation on her end was peculiar.

Because the proportion of CP fans was quite high, this group of terrifyingly powerful individuals was happily writing lengthy posts praising her, creating fanfiction, engaging in high-intensity discussions and speculation, and reveling in their "sugar-eating" frenzy, completely diverting the topic in another direction.

What? You're saying Kiriwake Yayoi was rude and only invited Chu Yuanqing?

--We're shipping it, we're shipping it to death!

What? You're saying Kiriwake Yayoi didn't look for any other trainees after being rejected?

--We're shipping it, we're shipping it to death!

What? You're saying Kiriwake Yayoi has no emotional intelligence, doesn't know how to behave, isn't humble enough, and has too little perspective?

--We're shipping it, we're shipping it to death!

The CP fans' powerful ability to "eat sugar" was enough to twist all these accusations into the idea that Sakura was willing to bear these criticisms just to keep her practice room open for Chu Yuanqing, and they scoffed at the attacks from the anti-fans.

As for the normal fans who weren't CP fans, they didn't feel Kiriwake Yayoi had done anything wrong either.

How laughable. What do you outsiders know?

Sakura has been an idol for 7 years. She's tasted all the warmth and coldness of human relationships and sunk into the darkest mire. How could she not understand the criticism such a decision would invite?

Kiriwake Yayoi's decision was by no means a rash impulse. The smile that appeared on camera at the end was relaxed, her eyes were determined, and her departing silhouette was upright.
