Qin Wei and Si Di's Ship Name Shall Be Dichlorvos

Li Si's face darkened even further. "So you're choosing to keep Si Di too?"

Zhao Yi said, "I don't think we need to rush to a conclusion right now. There are still many trainees who haven't performed. It won't be too late to discuss eliminations after we've seen everyone's stage."

He had actually wanted to simply and decisively say yes.

But considering this was a live broadcast, he gritted his teeth and left everyone a little dignity.

Li Si did not appreciate it and said bluntly, "It's fine. I understand what Teacher Zhao Yi means. So now, Si Di has two votes to stay and one vote for elimination. Teacher Sun San, what about you? What do you think?"

Sun San was caught in a dilemma.

Honestly, he did not want to wade into muddy waters.

But since he had been called on, he had to make a choice.

After weighing both sides, he could only help one of his own.

Sun San said, "There wasn't any rap in that performance just now. How about this, Si Di? Give us a live freestyle."

[That elbow is sticking out a little too obviously.]

[Knowing Si Di has only trained for two days and still asking him to freestyle—isn't this just an excuse to side with Li Si?]

[Funny story: when we came to watch this livestream, we were actually prepared to curse Si Di out. [laughing tears][laughing tears]]

[The Bodyguard Squad is famous in the fandom for having proper values. Cursing Si Di and standing up against unfairness are not mutually exclusive.]

[Hahahaha, I'm confused too. When I think about Si Di cursing my husband, I want him eliminated immediately. But when I see him being maliciously targeted, I feel like he shouldn't be suppressed. Damn it, I joined a fandom and somehow ended up with split personalities.]

How could Si Di possibly know how to rap?

After thinking seriously for a few seconds, he decided that rather than embarrass himself with some "yo yo check it out," he might as well admit outright that he could not do it.

The moment he opened his mouth, Sun San said, "Then I'm really sorry, Si Di. I do want you to stay, but as the rap mentor, I truly can't find a reason to keep you."

Two votes against two.

Li Si was satisfied now.

Pride colored her gaze as she turned to look at Qin Wei, who had remained silent all along.

"Teacher Qin Wei, what do you think?"

The aggressive female rapper's voice suddenly softened a little.

Li Si truly had selfish motives when it came to suppressing Si Di.

Rap had always been a niche genre. Although she had several major awards to her name, her popularity was actually not high at all.

She did not even have a million followers on Weibo.

She had deliberately suppressed Si Di to curry favor with Qin Wei and his fans.

As long as she gained a little goodwill among his enormous fanbase, her fame would immediately soar.

Now, the most important vote was in Qin Wei's hands.

Si Di had publicly cursed Qin Wei so many times, and the two had even fought.

Qin Wei would definitely eliminate him without hesitation!

Not only would she gain fans, she could also thoroughly humiliate that blockhead Qian Er. Just thinking about it felt great!

The triumph in Li Si's eyes was impossible to hide as she waited expectantly for Qin Wei to speak.

The trainees behind them were whispering too. "Will Producer Qin eliminate Si Di?"

"Definitely. If I held the power of life and death over my mortal enemy, then if I hesitated for even two seconds, I'd be disrespecting the hatred between us."

"Si Di is honestly kind of pitiful. He's practically been cursed to death for the past year and a half and can't find any work at all. If he gets eliminated again this time, his entertainment career probably won't have any hope left."

"I think Si Di is done for..."

Amid everyone's attention, Qin Wei raised his head.

His cool gaze fell on Si Di.

His lofty, immortal-like bearing was especially dazzling.

He picked up the microphone and said calmly, "Si Di, do you want to stay, or do you want to leave?"

Si Di had already prepared himself to be ridiculed.

Hearing that, he could not help but freeze.

What did that mean? Why was Qin Wei asking him?

If he wanted to stay, Qin Wei would let him stay? If he wanted to leave, Qin Wei would let him leave?

How could that bastard possibly be so kind?

Could it be...

Was that bastard trying to make him say he wanted to stay, then slap him in the face by eliminating him anyway?!

Si Di cautiously said nothing.

Their gazes met.

Qin Wei looked steadily at him and said, "The most tragic thing for a person is to become stuck in their ways. If I were you, I would never willingly sink into depravity. I would strive to improve and tightly seize every opportunity I could grasp. Only by standing high enough can you trample everything you hate beneath your feet."

"Today, I will respect your choice. But you'd better think carefully. What you give up today is not merely an opportunity. What you give up is your own life."

Qin Wei had always been sparing with his words since childhood.

It was the first time Si Di had heard him say so much.

Though he did not want to admit it, Qin Wei's words had indeed moved him.

During this time, he had been drifting through life, eating when he woke up and sleeping after he ate, spending every day plotting how to defeat Qin Wei.

But he had never thought about how to improve himself.

Qin Wei's words were like a wind that blew away the clouds and revealed the sun.

Si Di's mind suddenly cleared.

The entire venue was waiting for his answer, and even the camera quietly lingered on his bright, youthful face.

Qin Wei said lightly, "Have you decided?"

Si Di slowly raised his head, a little more light in his eyes.

Since the show began—or even since puberty—this was the first time Si Di had looked at Qin Wei so calmly.

There was no hostility, only his own conviction.

Si Di said firmly, "I want to stay."

Qin Wei's brow lifted slightly.

A trace of imperceptible relief surfaced in his eyes.

"Okay. Then I choose for Si Di to stay for now."

Boom—

Everyone began whispering, and the venue erupted into chaos.

Li Si's eyes widened as she stared at Qin Wei in disbelief, her expression turning ugly beyond measure.

How was this possible?!

Why would Qin Wei give his mortal enemy an opportunity?

She had disregarded the show's rules and taken the initiative to propose eliminating Si Di. She had played the villain to curry favor with Qin Wei, yet Qin Wei was going to play the good guy?

More importantly, keeping Si Di was not the same as publicly slapping her in the face?!

Li Si did not understand, and neither did Si Di.

But he was not the type to keep things bottled up. When he fought or cursed someone, he made it clear, and when he was grateful, he never hid it either.

Si Di picked up the microphone. "Can I say two more things?"

Qin Wei nodded. "Mm. Go ahead."

"To be honest, I never planned to stay when I came on this show. It was never a secret that we're like fire and water. You're the producer and I'm a trainee, so I thought you wouldn't show me any mercy."

Si Di looked at Qin Wei without the slightest awkwardness, open and aboveboard. "The facts have proven that I judged a gentleman by my own petty standards. Qin Wei, I admit that you're broad-minded and able to separate public matters from private feelings. But since you've given me this opportunity, I hope you won't regret it when I climb over your head someday."

[Oh my god, Si Di is really so straightforward.]

[I think I'm shipping something different now... Qin Wei and Si Di, aren't they the classic love-hate pairing?]

[To be fair, I used to think Si Di was especially annoying. He cursed Qin Wei for no reason, and I thought he was trying to create hype. But seeing him praise Qin Wei now, I suddenly feel like he simply disdains playing tricks. He's frank and open, with such a genuine temperament!]

[He curses when there's a grudge, praises when there's kindness, and doesn't hide his ambition at all. Si Di seriously gained so many fans with this.]

[Is anyone shipping Qin Wei and Si Di?]

[Me, me, me! I've even thought of their ship name—it'll be—Dichlorvos!]
