Ten diligent days: the fields are still

The door of the dressing room was gently pushed open, and the vocal teacher walked in with steady steps, holding a small and exquisite needle in her hand.

When Haohao saw the needle in the teacher's hand, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly, "Teacher... do you still need acupuncture today?"

The vocal teacher walked to Haohao's side with an expressionless face, slowly raised the needle in his hand, and aimed the tip of the needle precisely at Haohao's ear. Without hesitation, he raised the needle and inserted it in a quick and decisive manner.

"This doesn't hurt at all."

Hong Bao, who was standing by, watched all this with a worried look on his face and asked anxiously, "Does it hurt?"

Haohao frowned, reached out to touch his ears, then let out a long sigh and relaxed completely.

He smiled and replied, "Actually, it's not bad. This one is much better than the one yesterday! Yesterday's needle was so thin and long, it looked scary."

As a singer, protecting your voice is crucial. Whether it's a competition or a performance, maintaining good stage condition is a top priority. For this reason, things like injections and medication are unavoidable.

Haohao had just exchanged a few words with his vocal teacher when the director suddenly called out, "Attention, all singers! Please enter the venue in order of competition to begin the final rehearsal!"

Hearing this, Haohao stood up, quickly put on the carefully prepared coat, and then followed the staff out of the dressing room with big strides.

Yuan Lai and Hong Bao followed the crowd obediently, and the group walked in a line.

The long corridor was packed with competing singers. Everyone, some excited, some nervous, shared their experiences. Haohao quickly immersed himself in the lively atmosphere, chatting and laughing with those around him.

After a long wait, it was finally Haohao's turn to perform. Yuan Lai's legs were already numb from standing, but she still forced herself to cheer up and looked at Haohao with encouragement as he was about to take the stage: "Brother, just sing with all your heart, don't worry, believe in yourself, you will always be the best!"

As the curtain slowly opened, Yuan Lai quietly watched the rehearsal performance on the stage.

Haohao moved his feet precisely according to the stage arrangement that had been carefully designed in advance. Every movement and every change of position was smooth and natural. It was obvious that he had put a lot of effort into this, just to present a perfect performance during the official recording.

Hong Bao, who had been standing in the back row, had somehow managed to squeeze to the front. He stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, and peered upwards, muttering, "Oh, why can't I see it..."

After a while, Hong Bao seemed to be unable to contain his inner anxiety and asked Yuan Lai: "When can we go out and play?"

Yuan Lai smiled helplessly and said softly, "I don't dare take you out to play without permission. Let's wait until Haohao gets off work."

Because he caught an early flight here, Yuan Lai yawned several times in succession.

Finally, she couldn't resist the sleepiness any more, so she had to go back to her hotel room to catch up on some sleep.

Several hours passed in her sleep. When she opened her eyes again, she found that the sky outside the window had turned completely black.

Yuan Lai quickly stood up, splashed cold water on her face, tidied her hair and clothes, and then rushed back to the recording site.

As soon as I walked outside the studio, I could see from afar a crowd of eager fans. The crowd was holding up various signboards and banners with the stars' names printed on them, creating a lively atmosphere.

Yuan Lai quickly found Haohao's name among the many brands, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"It sounds like you really like this atmosphere."

Since she had neither a ticket nor a work badge, the staff ruthlessly blocked her from entering. With no other choice, she could only stand outside the gate and wait.

"Calling Hongbao, calling Hongbao, I'm outside, come and pick me up."

Time passed, but her message fell on deaf ears, and she never received a response from the red envelope. She kept looking towards the exit, hoping to see a familiar figure, but there was still nothing there.

"Could this guy have fallen asleep?" Yuan Lai couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Hoping for a lucky break, she decided to call the red envelope number. But all she heard was a notification: "The user you are calling is busy, please try again later..."

what's the situation?

Is the phone set to silent?

Just as Yuan Lai was puzzled, a sudden burst of rapid dog barking broke the silence. A small dog jumped out from the bushes by the roadside, and seemed to be extremely frightened. It rushed into the studio in a panic.

"Oh, be careful not to get scratched!" Seeing this, the security personnel immediately became flustered and joined the ranks of chasing the puppy of unknown origin.

The many fans who were originally waiting outside the door were also attracted by the sudden lively scene inside and gradually gathered together.

Yuan Lai inadvertently caught sight of two suspicious-looking men in the crowd, looking around furtively, as if they were caught in a dilemma. Finally, after exchanging a glance, they turned away, their consciences running high, and gradually disappeared around the corner.

A strange feeling came over him, and Yuan Lai keenly realized that these two people were definitely not that simple.

Something is wrong, very wrong.

The dog's barking in the studio became louder, with a hint of mournfulness in it.

Yuan Lai was originally standing not far away. After hearing such an unusual dog barking, his curiosity was instantly aroused. He couldn't help but step forward to see what was going on.

Although the puppy was small, it was extremely agile and nimble. It darted back and forth at the security guard's feet, and no matter how hard the security guard tried, he couldn't catch it.

At this moment, the puppy seized the opportunity and was about to avoid the security guard's outstretched hand and run up the stairs. However, just as it was about to step onto the stairs, it inadvertently glanced outside and its eyes happened to fall on a familiar figure.

In an instant, it slammed on the brakes, then turned around without hesitation and ran straight towards the gate.

When the fans outside the door saw the puppy suddenly rushing out, they were frightened and retreated away, fearing that they would be bitten.

Before Yuan Lai could fully see what was happening in front of him, he suddenly felt a mass of objects rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Instinctively, she stretched out her hands to catch the unknown object.

Only after the object fell steadily into his arms did Yuan Lai realize that it was the puppy from before.

The puppy curled up in her arms, its entire body trembling, obviously terrified. Although its body was covered with shocking bloodstains, its eyes were fixed on Yuan Lai without blinking.

"Red envelope?!" Yuan Lai exclaimed in disbelief, his face filled with astonishment. "How did you get here... and look like this?"
