Chapter 1099: Easily Offend

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling draped a thin jacket over her shoulders and went to eat with her in the small garden.

This was also the reason why many trainees fought over the opportunity to serve her food. If they could dine together with her, there would be countless opportunities to enhance their relationship. What if they were to accidentally become best friends or even lovers? They would have struck the lottery.

Xia Ling did not know their intentions and thought everyone liked her.

She also liked to dine together with them. It was lonely to eat alone, especially since she had a lively personality.

Having not seen her for the whole summer vacation, Li Bingman had prepared lots of topics she was interested in. Now, she said to her, “Do you remember the pigeons on the side of the Qian Gu Lake Farm? I went there once during the holiday and they have just imported several new breeds. They were simply adorable, when would you like me to bring you to take a look?”

Xia Ling was somewhat absent-minded. “We’ll discuss it next time.”

Her mind was filled with thoughts of dancing. During her last spin, her ankle had been slightly unstable. Was it a problem with her power or with her fulcrum?

She was pondering over it when she heard Li Bingman say, “My sister’s new song was just released. This time, she has completely surpassed Yun Yan. Have you heard it yet? Everyone said it was good. My sister said she could send you the hardcover version...”

“Stop talking!” Xia Ling interrupted her chatter in annoyance.

Li Bingman suddenly snorted. Not knowing where she had provoked her, she didn’t dare make sudden movements. Li Bingman looked at her carefully and then looked down to scoop up her rice; the movements of her chopsticks were soft and slow for fear that Xia Ling could get angry again.

Xia Ling didn’t pay any attention to her at all. She was still pondering over the dance and she used a few strands of the vegetables on her chopsticks to stimulate the distance and the drop point. Li Bingman didn’t know what she was doing at first and wanted to clip the vegetable, but was hit fiercely with a chopstick by Xia Ling.

Li Bingman simply stopped eating so as not to provoke her again. She watched as she gestured about on the table and gradually realized she was pondering over the movements. “You’re practicing the dance?” Li Bingman weighed up her words by observing Xia Ling’s expression and asked, “What problems have you encountered? Do you want to say them out so I can help you?”

“During the spin, I jumped over like this, but my landing...” Xia Ling frowned and pulled a few leaves from the vegetable. “No, it’s not right.”

Li Bingman found it unfathomable. “You jumped very well just now, even better than the version the teacher taught that day.” On one hand, Xia Ling had indeed jumped well, and on the other hand, Li Bingman was flattering.

Unexpectedly, this flattering failed.

Xia Ling sneered. “You call this jumping well? You learned to dance for nothing!” She felt a little regretful. Why did she tell her problem to Li Bingman? Her teachers and classmates couldn’t help her anymore. For example, this problem. She would have no choice but to rely on herself to ponder over it because it seemed perfect to outsiders.

“Forget it.” She was more annoyed and put down the chopsticks. “I don’t want to eat anymore, I’ll go practice.” She had just formed an outline in her mind but was interrupted by Li Bingman, so she was afraid she wouldn’t remember anything after eating.

Li Bingman was furious inside, but she smiled on the surface and said, “Then quickly go. You dance the best among us, and all of us are counting on you.”

Xia Ling paused after hearing this and frowned. “Why aren’t you thinking of progressing? What do you mean you’re counting on me? Forget about whether or not you can surpass me, but if you don’t even have the heart to want to surpass me, then what are you still here for? Is this your attitude towards basic skills? You, and your sister...”

She continued talking and somehow dragged Li Bingman’s sister in as well. “So what if Li Bingyu occasionally has a song that surpasses Yun Yan? I’ve listened to that song, it’s been so autotuned that I can’t even find the original tone anymore. Rather than saying that Li Bingyu has sold it big, it’s better to say that the audio composer has sold it big. Ha.” She sneered. “Li Bingman, how could the two of you be so shallow? You’re simply throwing Imperial Entertainment’s face by having such a star performer.”

Her recent thoughts had to become more outstanding so as to live up to Brother Pei’s cultivation.

Her requirements of the people around her also increased, and she wanted Imperial Entertainment to get better and better and its artistes to become more and more powerful. However, watching Li Bingyu, the current head of the company, and Li Bingman, the future potential newcomer, she couldn’t stand it. How could they possibly help Brother Pei develop Imperial Entertainment with these kinds of standards?

She was intentionally trying to spur on Li Bingman with her words and didn’t think they were too much at all.

Li Bingman bowed her head and listened to her silently. After she was done talking, she smiled forcefully. “Yes, Xiao Ling, you’re right. My sister and I should improve on ourselves.”

Xia Ling snorted and turned to head back into the practice room, leaving Li Bingman alone with no mood to continue eating. She slowly tidied up the table, her eyes filled with a sinister hatred.

Xia Ling practiced for an hour and finally solved the problem of the spin. She wiped her sweat and stopped, and felt hungry now. She pushed the door open and was intending to go outside to find food when she met someone standing in the small garden, wearing a linen casual shirt and leaning against an old tree. He held a cup of tea in one hand and smiled at her.

She recognized the man. “Brother Feng Kun?”

The man under the tree was indeed Feng Kun. He lifted his chin and gestured to someplace nearby. “Are you hungry? I brought you a pastry, a rose almond filling. Don’t tell the Chairman, he doesn’t allow us to bring you sweets.”

Xia Ling smiled. “I know.”

She ran over excitedly and unpacked the box of beautifully wrapped pastries and took a bite. The soft, smooth taste spread out in her mouth and was full of fragrance. She smiled in enjoyment and took a few more bites before turning to talk to Feng Kun. “Brother Feng Kun, what brings you here?”

Feng Kun and Chu Chen were different and usually did not follow Pei Ziheng. They each had their own recording studio to take care of and had very little time to see her. If it were not for Pei Ziheng considering her debut song to be made by Feng Kun, they might not be able to see each other more than two or three times a year.

Feng Kun smiled. “I made a few new scores for you. Why don’t you look at it and choose your favorite? Actually, I came a long time ago and saw you and the little girl eating, so I didn’t interrupt you. Was that Li Bingyu’s sister?”

“Yes, you’ve met in the selection test,” Xia Ling answer absent-mindedly, for the pastry was too delicious. She reached out her hand while eating. “Give me the scores.”

“Little workaholic.” Feng Kun gave her the scores. “You can look through it slowly, it’s no hurry.”

She nodded. “Okay.” But she turned over the score on the spot and had no intention of looking at it slowly.

Feng Kun said, “It’s easy for you to offend people like this.”

“What?” She looked up blankly.

Feng Kun pointed to the score in her hand. “You don’t seem to put the words of others in your heart. Li Bingman was the same just now; she almost cried because of you. Aren’t you afraid she’ll bear grudges?” Although the two of them were not familiar, he appreciated this girl who was talented and willing to work hard, so he couldn’t help but give her a few words of advice.
