The coach asked once again because she felt curious about the culprit, "Then, who told you about that early morning practice?"Feng Xiao Qing shook her head in defeat. "I don"t know! Someone just left a note at my locker and I thought that it was legit! Who knew that someone was actually trying to hurt me?"
The others felt that it was reasonable for not feeling suspicious about that kind of note. The trainees started to think that they had to be careful when an unknown note suddenly appeared on their locker. Feng Xiao Qing didn"t lie when she said this, however, she felt suspicious about the unknown note. Thus, she made an inquiry about this to Ah Rang first.
Ah Rang was among the trainees, but she wasn"t able to ask any questions because Feng Xiao Qing was being swarmed by a lot of people. She had to push her way in before she finally got to ask worriedly, "Xiao Qing! Why didn"t you tell me anything? I should have gone with you!"
Ah Rang didn"t know about her plan, thus, she was indeed worried. Feng Xiao Qing felt guilty about it, but the show must go on and she could only lie to Ah Rang too! She would just explain about it later.
Feng Xiao Qing smiled and said, "I"m fine! I"m fine!"
"You are in such a miserable condition! How can you say that you are fine?!" Ah Rang scolded her which made Feng Xiao Qing grinned sheepishly.
When the others heard Feng Xiao Qing"s story, they felt sympathetic and they tried to cheer her up with sweet nothings. The coach said that she would help her report this and hopefully, the company would be able to find the culprits. Ah Rang stayed beside her and fussed over her like a mother hen, however, it made Feng Xiao Qing feel touched because Ah Rang really cared about her.
The others asked about Feng Xiao Qing"s wellbeing with kind intentions, but Siu Lan asked pretentiously with a loud voice, "Oh my G.o.d! Poor you! What about our compet.i.tion? It"s less than one week! Can you do it in this condition?"
The others were reminded of that event and they quickly took a glance at Feng Xiao Qing. Siu Lan might look like she was being sympathetic, however, other people could see how smug she was. It made the others feel annoyed at her and they started to feel that their guess previously must have been correct! She must be involved in this. It was just that they had no proof, so they didn"t dare to utter a word about it.
The crowd felt that Siu Lan was being unreasonable. After all, she tried to put down someone who had already crushed! Would she be happy with having a default win? If yes, that would be so disgusting! What was there to be proud of? She didn"t win the compet.i.tion fair and square!
Feng Xiao Qing smiled despite her pale face and said, "Don"t worry, Siu Lan Jie! The compet.i.tion will be held just like the appointed schedule. I will do my best, so I won"t let you down! Even if I have to crawl, I will attend the compet.i.tion."
When the crowd heard what she said, they admired Feng Xiao Qing more and more. Even with her wounded foot and also under such a big pressure, she still didn"t give up. She didn"t even try to blame anyone else or blindly accused other people regarding her misfortune.
Siu Lan sneered at what Feng Xiao Qing just said inwardly, but she still tried to look sympathetic. Feng Xiao Qing really wanted to roll her eyes, but she could only hold her impulse back. "Be patient! Be patient!" She chanted to herself.
The coach asked worriedly, "But how do you want to join in the compet.i.tion? You can"t practice with this foot!" She was pretty sure that Feng Xiao Qing wouldn"t be able to dance in this condition and if she continued to persist, it would only make her injuries become more severe. The coach was a hundred percent sure that she wouldn"t win in this condition ah~! So, what was the use of being stubborn about this?
"I"m fine... I already accept the challenge... so how could I back down? I"m sure Siu Lan Jie will feel disappointed if it really happens," Feng Xiao Qing said softly.
After listening to what she said, everyone glanced at Siu Lan with a blaming face. Feng Xiao Qing was hurt to this extent, but she still reminded her of the compet.i.tion! Siu Lan didn"t know that what she had said would shoot herself in the foot, making the others judge her like she was the villain. Siu Lan glared at Feng Xiao Qing hatefully. It was all because of her!
Feng Xiao Qing was happy when she saw Siu Lan"s black and green face. She even applauded herself for getting better at acting. When she saw that An Ran Jie was looking at the scene with a face full of amus.e.m.e.nt, she looked around and made sure that no one saw her. After that, she gave An Ran Jie a wink.
After winking, she went back to act pitifully once more.
Seeing that, An Ran could only shake her head in disbelief. However, her lips were slightly curling up.
The coach reprimanded Siu Lan, "Look at you! Feng Xiao Qing is hurt and the culprits haven"t been found yet! How could you be so selfish?"
Feng Xiao Qing quickly said, "Coach... please don"t blame Siu Lan Jie. I"m sure that she doesn"t mean it." However, her eyes were slightly br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears.
What Feng Xiao Qing said made people blame Siu Lan even more! It was all because of her! Siu Lan blamed Feng Xiao Qing inwardly while gritting her teeth in anger.
Feng Xiao Qing really wanted to laugh when she looked at how the others glared at Siu Lan hatefully.
The coach made a sudden bold suggestion and quickly asked the others about her thought, "How about we change the compet.i.tion date?"
Siu Lan glared at the coach and blurted out, "No way!"
Was she joking? If they changed the compet.i.tion date and Feng Xiao Qing was feeling better by then, would it make her plan become useless?!
Siu Lan was used to be being arrogant and she had never tried to cover up her feeling, that was the reason why she couldn"t stop her mouth from blurting out. The coach was surprised by her outburst and squinted her eyes in displeasure. This Siu Lan was being too unreasonable and selfis.h.!.+
Feng Xiao Qing quickly tried to amend the situation by saying, "Coach... it"s okay! We already made a promise in front of so many people. I don"t want to make it hard for you... I"m fine!"
The coach really admired Feng Xiao Qing"s kindness. If she was on her shoes, she would certainly throttle Siu Lan to death! She glared dagger at Siu Lan and the latter flinched at her gaze. Siu Lan knew that she was already put in a disadvantaged position, but she was still stubborn.
