After Cannon Fodder A Accidentally Marked the Cold Film Queen - Chapter 17
The small room was thick with a sense of confrontation.
There were many people on this floor, and both Zhu Songning and Shen Qingyu were S-class Alphas and Omegas. They had to suppress the pheromones that frantically wanted to spill out due to emotional fluctuations, calmly restraining them to a concentration and range that the two could sense between each other.
Shen Qingyu didn’t answer her words, just staring intently at her with a pair of pitch-black eyes.
It was as if she wouldn’t give up until Zhu Songning apologized.
001 whispered in Zhu Songning’s mind:
【Host, no matter how you look at it, you were the one who forcibly kissed someone else…】
“Shut up.” Zhu Songning hit it with her thoughts. “Whose system are you? Who should you side with?”
001 was suppressed for a long time before sputtering out a sentence:
【…I side with justice .】
Zhu Songning secretly cursed the traitorous 001 in her heart.
It was just a system and simply didn’t understand the complexity of human relationships.
The moment she backed down, she would be in a more vulnerable position in their relationship.
What about their future domestic status then?
Wouldn’t she always be the one constrained by Shen Qingyu?
Apologize? No way.
She hadn’t held her ground for long when she saw the Omega in front of her, whose already pale face became even worse, seemingly even more transparent.
Having just gone through a wild kiss, and with the confrontation of pheromones equally exhausting, Shen Qingyu seemed a little unsteady, her body, thin as a piece of paper, swaying slightly.
At that slight wobble, Zhu Songning instinctively reached out without thinking, steadying her.
“I’m sorry.”
Zhu Songning forced herself to give in first.
Upon hearing her apology, a smile finally tugged at the corner of Shen Qingyu’s mouth.
She stood on her tiptoes and reached out to stroke Zhu Songning’s head: “Mmm, good girl.”
Zhu Songning’s face instantly flushed.
“Wha… what girl, what do you mean?! I’ve been an adult for a long time!”
“Don’t call me names, Shen Qingyu.”
Shen Qingyu pouted: “Oh.”
What an unromantic Alpha.
Shen Qingyu suddenly felt a little sorry for herself.
All that flirting, wasted on a blind person.
“Okay, okay, I have to go prepare for the theme song stage now, goodbye!”
Grabbing Zhu Songning, who was about to walk out with her feet moving in unison, Shen Qingyu sighed.
“Are you planning to go out like this?”
Fortunately, she had a bag with her, and inside were some makeup essentials for touch-ups.
Icy fingers cupped Zhu Songning’s chin. She took some setting powder and carefully covered up the slap mark for her.
Zhu Songning felt her breath, the slightly hot air blowing on her neck, tickling.
She was getting restless and really wanted to scratch herself: “Are you done?”
Shen Qingyu slapped away the hand Zhu Songning tried to use to touch her face: “Almost.”
“Your lipstick has also been mostly eaten off, I need to touch it up.”
She looked down to search but couldn’t find any lipstick or lip gloss. Only then did she suddenly remember it was probably left on the table in the lounge.
“It’s not here?” Zhu Songning watched her movements. “It’s fine, I’ll go find a makeup artist to help me touch it up.”
“There’s no time.”
Shen Qingyu looked at the clock.
Sharp teeth gently bit into her finger. The white-haired beauty frowned slightly, and a bead of bright red blood quickly welled up on her fingertip.
She pressed her finger against Zhu Songning’s lips.
The Alpha’s lips were quickly stained with a vivid red, a very beautiful color.
A faint metallic scent of blood rushed into Zhu Songning’s nose, still entwined with the Omega’s unique, slightly bitter pheromone fragrance.
By the time Zhu Songning arrived at the venue, the trainees were already getting ready to perform.
For some trainees, this might be the first time they stepped onto such a large stage, and it might also be their last.
But it didn’t matter. Even if the path of fate was cruel, the fervent dreams of these young people and the courage to reach for the stars would still remain in the history of the domestic entertainment industry, becoming twinkling starlight in the vast galaxy.
Effort and sweat always make it hard to disappoint.
“Next, let’s welcome our Youth Trainees to the stage to perform the theme song of Youth Training 2— ‘LIGHT UP GIRLS!'”
The lights on the stage shone down from above. As the familiar bright light and hundreds of thousands of gazes fell upon her, Zhu Songning, for a rare moment, felt like she was transported back to the past, when she was still that legendary, attention-grabbing magician.
Only now, she was an unknown name.
An ordinary trainee.
She looked straight ahead, and sure enough, sitting in the center of the mentor’s seats was Shen Qingyu.
And at this moment, Zhu Songning’s lips were still stained with the color of her blood. The red liquid was like some mysterious connection, making them feel close despite the distance.
The cold lens of the camera was like a black hole that swallowed people’s hearts. Zhu Songning closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, she was smiling and smoothly slipped into the rhythm of the first beat.
“The starting point is in front of the mirror, the reflection is still a little timid.”
“Countless eyes are watching, but I’d rather take a risk.”
Her voice was on the cooler side, giving a feeling of a story being told slowly. On the big screen behind her, images of the girls’ sweat dripping in the practice room flashed one by one.
The remaining few trainees in the top 7 followed her beat, their dance moves with hands raised high, like reaching for the stars.
“Sweat soaks the fingertips, the heartbeat becomes the rhythm line.”
“If you don’t chase now, you’ll be left behind by yesterday.”
As the first verse of the song ended, all the lights in the venue came on.
A total of 101 Youth Trainees were now fully revealed on the stage.
Among them were tall and short, long-haired and short-haired.
Not every girl was like a rose; some were like pine trees.
But whether they were flowers or trees, tonight their identity was not that of a princess waiting to be rescued in a fairy tale, but a warrior fighting for their own dreams.
Yangyang watched every face striving to bloom on the stage, and tears welled up in her eyes emotionally.
“Wuwu, so many wonderful girls, do we really have to eliminate a group?”
“No choice, that’s what the competition rules dictate.”
Jin Ming sat right next to her, and a hint of tenderness surfaced even in his usually strict eyes, until he saw the bubble hanging from Yangyang’s nose getting closer to his clothes.
“Hey, hold it in, the cameras are still rolling. — Don’t get your snot bubble on my sleeve, Yang!”
Yangyang took the tissue kindly handed to her by Ellen and sat up straight: “Oh, alright.”
On the other side, Lu Conghuan was watching the stage, but her hands underneath were clenched tightly, her fingernails deeply embedded in the flesh of her palm.
Zhu Songning didn’t notice Lu Conghuan’s gaze toward her.
Because, at this very moment, too many eyes were focused on her. Under the heavy pressure, there was no room for her brain to pause and think; all movements and lyrics were executed purely based on muscle memory.
Spin, jump.
Just like she used to shuffle and fan cards.
“LIGHT UP GIRLS! Names that sparkle bright.”
“No need to be perfect, but the look of bravery.”
“Step by step, ignite our banner.”
“The future sings—it will be defined by us!”
“LIGHT UP! LIGHT UP! GIRLS!”
“Burn youth, unafraid to lose.”
“LIGHT UP! LIGHT UP! GIRLS!”
“This moment, we are the kingdom!”
The firework special effects in the background burned to their highest point on the last line, and the movements of all 101 trainees were perfectly synchronized.
The camera scanned across the faces of the top seven trainees one by one for their ending pose shots.
Finally, it was Zhu Songning’s ending.
On the big screen, her perfect face was magnified infinitely. Unlike the sweet or cool ending poses of the previous six trainees, a nonchalant smile suddenly stretched across her face, and like a magic trick, she produced a card gun from nowhere.
She aimed at the camera, and the white-gloved hand pulled the trigger.
Everyone watching her was being aimed at, becoming the Alpha’s prey.
Bang! Fifty-four colorful poker cards burst out towards the lens, like a shower of color.
Behind the curtain of poker cards, Zhu Songning was holding a Joker card between her teeth, her lips, vivid red from the blood, contrasting with the snow-white card face.
She casually spat out the card, her tongue against her teeth, and licked clean the blood that the Omega had applied to her lips.
And under the high-definition lens—
A tongue piercing on her tongue tip was flashing brightly.
