Transmigrating into a novel as a supporting female character: all for the sake of seducing the secon

Today is the official start of the Pace International Art and Music Competition in France. Chen Wei took Ning Yi and the others to the Gao'er Conservatory of Music early in the morning.

The competition is conducted randomly by the system, so Ning Yi and her team won't be going on stage to compete too early. Therefore, everyone here today is just to watch the competition.

Among the people who came to participate with Ningyi, most of them came from wealthy families. Naturally, everyone cared a lot about this competition. So, as soon as they arrived, some people started contacting well-known makeup and styling studios, and some even hired private makeup artists and famous stylists to come to their homes to design their looks.

Gu Ai, as a mother, naturally considered these things, so Ning Yi didn't need to worry about anything as everything had already been arranged.

At first glance, the seats were filled with foreigners from all over the world. Seeing this scene, Ning Yi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After Chen Wei led them to their seats, she introduced them to her foreign friends.

"Relax, everyone. Today we are just spectators. Acknowledging the excellence of others is a lesson we will all learn sooner or later."

"Only when you are fully capable will you not be influenced by others. I hope everyone will have the right mindset," Chen Wei said calmly, word by word.

As someone who has been through it all, Chen Wei naturally understands that these young people are bound to be somewhat impetuous. They haven't seen enough of the world, and if their hearts aren't strong enough, they will be easily influenced by external factors.

She also knows that some people value fame and honor very much and cannot accept that others are much better than themselves, but the art of music cannot rely solely on these things to advance.

After everyone responded, they took their seats.

Ning Yi had heard from others that among the dozen or so people who came together this time, there was a boy named Ren Jifan who had won many awards and it was common for him to go abroad to compete. However, she heard that he had a rather extreme personality and that he had forced himself to win these honors.

He has an extreme personality. I heard that once, because he didn't get a good ranking in a competition, he locked himself in his room and went on a hunger strike, practicing the piano day and night. At that time, his family was busy doing business outside. In the end, he fainted and was rescued.

Everyone around him knew about that incident. He became quite famous because he was indeed very outstanding, so naturally some things were revealed.

However, judging from Ren Jifan's appearance, he is indeed much more silent than them, and his eyes are cold and indifferent. He doesn't go out for meals, feeling that he shouldn't spend his time on such things since the competition is coming up soon.

"Ningyi, have you looked for a makeup and styling studio? I know a very well-known one nearby, but it's really hard to get a spot there. However, I booked it a long time ago. If you haven't found a suitable one, you can come with me," the girl sitting next to Ningyi said to her.

Ning Yi smiled slightly: "No need, thank you. My mom has arranged everything for me."

The girl nodded, then a look of envy appeared in her eyes: "Look at these foreigners, they're all naturally fair-skinned and tall, I'm so envious."

Ning Yi comforted her, saying, "They each have their own strengths. Maybe some of them will envy us. Besides, you're not lacking in anything, so there's no need to envy them."

The stands were quickly filled; if the academy weren't so large, it wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.

The Pace International Music and Arts Competition in France has attracted widespread attention, with many media outlets going there to film and film, and numerous cameras ready to record live, making it a global event.

Tickets for this competition were extremely rare, and Gu Ai and her friends had been planning to watch Ning Yi's competition for a long time, so they naturally managed to get tickets.

However, since she was brought along by Chen Wei, she had to sit with everyone else. All the contestants had free admission tickets, so they could watch the competition for free for the three days.

Soon after, the competition began. There are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. This saying is absolutely true.

……

Ningyi and the others returned to the hotel in the afternoon.

Ji Yan originally wanted to take Ning Yi out to eat, but she didn't have much of an appetite and said she wanted to go back to the hotel to rest for a while.

Ning Yi lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and sighed softly.

No wonder Chen Wei said those things to everyone and helped them mentally prepare. This was only the first day of the competition, and she had already met many famous and talented contestants.

It's impossible not to feel a little discouraged, after all, she has witnessed her own abilities and worked very hard during this period, and she has indeed performed well in all the competitions.

This feeling of plummeting to the bottom brought a sense of utter frustration.

Actually, she wasn't the only one with this thought. Perhaps everyone's perspective is too narrow and they haven't done a good job of mental preparation. People like to make comparisons.

But as the saying goes, comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.

After a while, there was a knock at the door, and Ning Yi got up to open it.

"Aren't you hungry?" Ji Yan's familiar voice rang out.

Ning Yi saw that it was Ji Yan, then shook her head and said, "I'm really not hungry. I'm having dinner with my mom and the others later, so I'll eat more of the same things then."

Ji Yan entered the room and closed the door behind him.

"Why do you look so down? Are you in a bad mood?" Ji Yan noticed Ning Yi's unusual behavior.

Ning Yi picked up the milk on the table, inserted the straw, and replied, "No, I'm probably just tired from watching the game today."

"Let me guess, is it because you felt a sense of dissatisfaction after seeing how others performed?" Ji Yan leaned against the table and stared at Ning Yi.

Ning Yi took a couple of sips of milk, then pouted and said, "It's alright."

Ji Yan naturally guessed what was going on, since this kind of mentality was normal, and he had experienced it before.

He approached Ning Yi and gently patted her head: "You have a long road ahead of you. This is just a phase you're going through; it's not that important."

Ning Yi leaned against him, her gaze unfocused as she stared at the milk in her hand: "I know, I've actually been mentally prepared for this for a while."

"But..."

"We need a little time to adjust."

Ji Yan put his arm around her waist, looking down at her slightly fluttering eyelashes: "No matter what, gaining something is the most important thing. Our Xiaoyi is always the best."

"At least in your brother's eyes, Aunt Gu's eyes, Uncle Ning's eyes, and mine, no one can compare to you."

Ning Yi looked up, meeting Ji Yan's eyes, and then said, "Thank you for coming to keep me company. No matter what, I will make a good impression on my mother and the others, so that at least their trip won't be in vain."

"And you"

Ji Yan's gaze was deep, his smile clear: "Yes, it wasn't a wasted trip."
