The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 192

Today is the first day after the end of the college entrance exam, and the highway was already congested that night!

It took Nan XiangWan and Xiao Dong over three hours just to get off the highway, and over an hour more to reach their destination.

The concert venue was set up at Magic City Grand Stage, the same place as the night they debuted as a group.

Late at night, the staff were still busy.

Equipment big and small were being hurriedly arranged and tuned.

When Nan XiangWan arrived, the crystal piano brought by Hua Wan Entertainment had just been moved in as well.

Shao Fu personally brought people to deliver it, and when Zhao Tiancheng tried to touch the piano, he was almost dragged out and beaten by Shao Fu.

No touching allowed!

The tuner was ready and very nervous during tuning.

It was a piano worth over 20 million yuan!

This was the most expensive piano the tuner had ever tuned!

After tuning the piano, Nan XiangWan sat down and tried playing it.

The bass notes were mellow, and the treble notes crisp.

With the perfect tones and gorgeous looks, it was as if the piano had come alive!

Nan XiangWan's fingers danced across the black and white keys, playing the melody of "RainCat".

Orange Xue, who was there, recorded a video of this scene. She felt that even without makeup, Nan XiangWan just sitting there quietly playing the piano was especially beautiful.

Zhao Tiancheng looked at the time and hurriedly went up to urge: "Nan XiangWan, try out the other equipment and take a walk around to check things out."

Nan XiangWan got up and inspected the venue.

There didn't seem to be any major issues, the specifics could be dealt with during rehearsal.

Just as she was about to leave, Zhao Tiancheng grabbed her back: "Do you think you have time? Have you done your hair yet?"

Nan XiangWan: "???"

So Nan XiangWan was pushed back into the dressing room.

As soon as she entered, she saw Jing Da Shuai's people on one side and Monica's people on the other, with a wide open space in between. The atmosphere was tense as if they were about to start a war!

As soon as Nan XiangWan came in, she immediately broke this confrontational atmosphere.

Jing Da Shuai pressed her into the chair first: "I'm dying your hair black."

Monica was anxious and jumped up: "Dye it black, dye it black! After dyeing it black how are you going to do the other hairstyles? Wear wigs?"

Jing Da Shuai: "You can use wig pieces, add a few clips in, the point is she has to have long straight black hair for her solo stage this time!"

Monica: "What can match with black? The colorful design I originally planned is ruined by you!"

Jing Da Shuai: "I don't care, I'm responsible for her solo segment, so mine takes priority."

The two argued fiercely.

Nan XiangWan spoke up to interrupt them: "Um, I'm short on time, could you hurry up and get it done."

It was already very late, and she was a little sleepy.

Without another word, Jing Da Shuai started coloring!

Dyeing it black!

Monica was so angry her nostrils flared as she stormed out slamming the door.

Jing Da Shuai hummed smugly: "Stupid woman challenging me."

Nan XiangWan: "......"

As he worked, Jing Da Shuai chatted: "Your teammates have all finished their hair, just need styling tomorrow. You came so late, no rush at all."

Nan XiangWan didn't respond.

Jing Da Shuai: "Speaking of which, your solo song choice is really great, I almost cried listening to it."

Nan XiangWan still didn't respond.

Sensing something off, Jing Da Shuai looked in the mirror.

Well!

She fell asleep!

When she woke up again, it was already past two in the morning.

Nan XiangWan moved her shoulders and looked at herself in the mirror.

Beside her, Jing Da Shuai was packing up: "How is it, good looking right?"

Nan XiangWan shook her head: "Huh?"

It wasn't just pure black!

Mixed in the black were strands that shone.

Jing Da Shuai proudly explained: "Pure black wouldn't stand out on stage, but I wanted to emphasize the long straight black hair effect, so for every ten strands I picked one and dyed it silver."

Nan XiangWan: "Strand by strand..."

Each one dyed individually?

My god!

No wonder it took so long!

Jing Da Shuai went forward and brushed aside her hair: "This way under the stage lights your hair can shine black!"

Nan XiangWan expressed admiration.

He really wasn't afraid of trouble!

Finally finished with her hair, by the time Nan XiangWan returned to Ji Mansion it was already 2:30 in the morning.

Luckily she had slept during the dye job, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to take even a single step right now from fatigue.

Going up in the elevator, opening the door, entering the house.

Click!

The smart home lighting turned on automatically.

Nan XiangWan went upstairs, wanting to go through the garden to her friend's house.

She had already messaged her friend earlier in the car, so going directly over now shouldn't be a problem.

But what she didn't expect was that her friend had already come over.

Gu Beihuai climbed over the 1.5 meter high fence, holding a small cake as he came to Nan XiangWan's rooftop garden.

Nan XiangWan: "Wow!"

Gu Beihuai put the cake down on the vine table in the garden, handing her a small spoon: "Here."

Nan XiangWan: "This is the celebration?"

There was some disappointment in her eyes.

Gu Beihuai: "Not satisfied?"

Nan XiangWan: "I thought there would be a barbecue or something."

Gu Beihuai smiled: "And beer to go with it right?"

Nan XiangWan: "I actually would want to drink some if I could."

Gu Beihuai pushed the cake towards Nan XiangWan: "It's an ice cream cake, I made it specially for you."

Nan XiangWan was surprised: "You made it yourself? You can make cake too?!"

Gu Beihuai: "Just learned it."

Nan XiangWan took out her phone to take pictures. The cake was quite small, only 7 inches, layers of ice cream stacked up.

There was writing on it too - "Congratulations to Nan XiangWan on excelling in the college exam".

Nan XiangWan posted the cake photos on Weibo.

Gu Beihuai urged: "Try it quickly, the ice cream is going to melt."

Nan XiangWan: "Oh, okay."

She started eating!

Just as she was about to dig out a huge spoonful and stuff it in her mouth, Gu Beihuai swiftly reached out to stop her!

Nan XiangWan: "???"

Gu Beihuai helplessly said: "This is a pure ice cream cake, it's too cold to eat like that, take small bites."

Nan XiangWan: "!!"

Small bites wasn't her style!

So she shook off Gu Beihuai's hand and stubbornly shoved that huge spoonful into her mouth.

Gu Beihuai: "......"

This little rascal!

As Nan XiangWan ate, cold or not, she was definitely going to take big bites.

In the end, when she was halfway done, Gu Beihuai confiscated the cake.

He wouldn't let her eat any more!

Nan XiangWan: "You made this cake for me yet won't let me finish eating it?"

Gu Beihuai: "You can't eat ice cream like that, do you want to get diarrhea?"

Nan XiangWan: "We'd still be good friends if you didn't mention diarrhea."

Gu Beihuai: "I'm doing this for your own good!"

Nan XiangWan: "Give me back the cake!"

She tried to grab it.

Gu Beihuai held the cake and dodged.

The two scuffled playfully, acting out a game of chase in the garden!

In the end they made such a ruckus that the cake completely melted, dripping all over Gu Beihuai's hand.

Nan XiangWan looked at him solemnly: "Bro, your skills are pretty good."

Gu Beihuai: "You're not too shabby either."

It really was unbelievable!

The little rascal's strength had increased again, and her speed had also improved considerably.

After going back and forth several times, when Nan XiangWan grabbed for him, Gu Beihuai felt her arms were as hard as iron rods!

At this rate of improvement, Nan XiangWan's physique would soon surpass Gu Beihuai's.

Ridiculous!
