Chapter 8 Monthly Popularity Ranking
11:45 PM, Shenyang, National Dance Academy.
A car headlight shone on, and the car horn impatiently beeped. Several security guards playing cards in the security room at the south gate of the National Dance Academy looked over.
"Hiss, who could it be so late?"
The least experienced security guard was sent to review the security footage. The younger guard ran over and immediately recognized the car at the school gate.
Chai Jingqiong, a member of the National Dance Academy, recently became "popular" on her blog.
Because Professor Chai Jingqiong has won against countless Western dancers internationally, taking home three of the most prestigious Golden Dance Awards, bringing unprecedented glory to East Asia, or rather, to Asia.
Inside the car, Chai Jingqiong was wearing sunglasses, the exaggeratedly fashionable sunglasses covering most of her face.
Even though she is now a household name, her outfit at midnight is still quite strange.
Chai Jingqiong rolled down the car window simply to let the security guard, who was slow to unlock the gate, see her clearly.
"Oh! Professor Chai, we'll open the door for you right away!" The security guard had read the reports about Chai Jingqiong and respected this professor who had brought honor to the country.
The access control panel slowly lifted.
The security guard wanted to exchange a few more pleasantries, but before he could even speak, the silver luxury car sped past with a thud.
The somewhat embarrassed security guard sat back down at the card table.
"Chai Jingqiong?" asked the colleague who had left behind a pair of '2's.
"Hmm, wow, this is truly a national-level dance academy. This professor is so dedicated, coming back to create in the middle of the night," the security guard remarked, picking up his badge.
"Hmph." The senior brother scoffed, "Two kings, one three. You'll see after a few more years. If Chai Jingqiong gets back to school after 11 pm, it means her husband beats her."
Security guard: "?!"
At this moment, Chai Jingqiong stopped the car and got out of the luxury car worth five million.
Despite it being late at night, she seemed afraid of being discovered, so she subconsciously tightened her cashmere scarf to cover the lower half of her face.
She went to her dance studio and unlocked the door with her key.
The national dance performance in the evening was tranquil.
The spacious dance studio was quiet, and Chai Jingqiong casually locked the door behind her.
Like a ghost, she walked to the huge mirror wall, then numbly took out her phone and took pictures of her face.
After removing her sunglasses and scarf, a large patch of bruises appeared on that beautiful face, which international media had described as a 'classic oriental beauty'.
Those large bruises were heartbreaking to see. No one could understand what kind of person could be so cruel to such a beautiful woman.
Why would someone use violence against her like this?
After the photo was taken, Chai Jingqiong's straight back gradually hunched over. Her body slowly, slowly slid down, until finally she curled up on the ground.
Chai Jingqiong huddled in the room surrounded by mirrored walls, just like her current marriage, trapped in a tangled and complicated relationship, imprisoned within a towering 'wall'.
She fumbled for the phone's touchscreen, randomly opened the music player, and started playing tracks on shuffle.
She was pretending, she was choreographing, she was pretending she wasn't in a bad state.
The first song is the number one song on this month's popularity chart. It's a love song sung by Zhou Shucong, the "Little King" of Tianyin.
The lyrics don't mention love once, yet every line is filled with affection.
No matter how good the lyrics and music were, they sounded jarring to Chai Jingqiong at that moment.
After cutting out more than a dozen love songs, the big data finally found Chai Jingqiong and recommended a new song for her – "Full Stop".
"But we have finally arrived at a full stop."
The very first sentence evoked a profound emotion.
Like a sigh of relief, like letting go, like drifting away with the wind. The emotionally charged female voice echoed in the quiet dance studio.
Art is interconnected.
As someone who has achieved brilliant success internationally, Chai Jingqiong's artistic sensitivity is only higher.
So, the very first line of the song interrupted her numb act of switching tracks.
"The city will never hear our arguments again."
If the first line of lyrics held her captive, then this line touched her deeply.
Only those who have experienced a failed relationship can understand this.
The fact that you still argue means you still care and still love each other.
If you truly stop loving someone and your heart is dead, then there will be no more arguments.
She couldn't remember when it started, but she and her husband stopped arguing...
From what point did she begin to silently accept her husband's scolding, which then escalated until she silently endured his punches?
"However, at our first meeting, you said you had foresight."
Yu Wenhai, her husband, was also the one who discovered her.
He brought her out of a backward mountain village, and he told her then that she was a natural dancer, and that he was her mentor.
Back then, she disregarded everything, bearing the world's condemnation for love, and resolutely married her teacher, Yu Wenhai.
This song truly touched her heart. It was as if the stranger who wrote it had composed a melody of her life into this song.
"I'm for my future."
"I hope my songs have better chords."
Yes, why did she tolerate the increasingly excessive domestic violence?
When love fades away, all a woman can care about are her children and her career.
Yu Wenhai is in his second marriage and has a son with his ex-wife. When they got married, Yu Wenhai said he didn't want his child to be traumatized, so they never had children together...
Fortunately, we didn't have children.
She did it for her career.
Because all her current glory is due to that person's teachings; he has a significant influence in the industry.
Chai Jingqiong is not a masochist; of course, she had considered divorce.
However, as soon as she showed even a hint of this idea, everyone around her opposed it.
The parents in the village said that divorced women in the village would be gossiped about, and their Chai family couldn't afford to lose face like that.
The school leaders said, "Jingqiong, you and Lao Yu were both prominent figures in the school back then. So many years have passed. Well, let's talk to Lao Yu. You should stop bringing bad influence to the school."
Her friend told her, "You insisted on marrying him back then, causing such a mess. Now you want a divorce. Have you thought it through? Otherwise, you'll lose both your money and your reputation."
Thinking of this, Chai Jingqiong shrank back in pain, while the song in her ears continued.
She was like a drowning person desperately grasping at the last straw.
She wanted to know, how did the girl in the song do it?
Their situations are so similar.
"Too many disappointments have slowly eroded my trust in you."
"Unfortunately, we have finally come to an end."
The woman's voice was so resolute, so decisive, and so...free-spirited.
But can she do it?
Can she really?
"These distorted truths almost destroyed my confidence."
"I have awakened now, and I no longer weep!"
Before she knew it, Chai Jingqiong sat up and looked at herself in the mirror again.
She doesn't deny that Yu Wenhai discovered her and taught her.
But the reason why Chai Jingqiong is where she is today, and what has made her a household name, has never been solely due to Yu Wenhai!
Yu Wenhai has hundreds of students, but in the end, it was she who won the three Golden Dance Awards!
She trained tirelessly every day, from 5 a.m. to midnight, she poured out countless drops of sweat, blood, and tears!
An impulse, like a dormant volcano erupting, surged forth with the uplifting melody and the female singer's emotionally charged performance.
Menacing.
Chai Jingqiong opened her blog and first shared a song called "Full Stop," then opened her phone's photo album.
At first, her fingers were trembling, but after she posted the first photo of herself after being abused online...
Her heart calmed down.
One, ten, thirty...
The blog crashed.
Yu Wenhai became famous.
Meanwhile, a new song called "Full Stop" slowly climbed from number 97 on the hot song chart.
