CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 133 - 130 Sports Program
Chapter 133: Chapter 130 Sports Program
The orange glow of the rising sun bathed Red Sun Rising, as the sky began to brighten.
Having just finished breakfast, the girls were heading to the practice room when the broadcast suddenly came on.
"Everyone, please head downstairs. We’re holding a ’Youth’ sports event."
The trainees were shocked at first, then complaints erupted unanimously.
"Why are we having a sports event? What about our rehearsals?"
"Sister Jiang, what should I do? I feel like I can’t learn everything properly! Who knows how long this sports event will drag on." Lv Fangxin looked worriedly at Jiang Xijie.
"Don’t worry, just make sure to conserve your energy." Jiang Xijie reassured her.
Other trainees were also complaining incessantly.
"I’m about to pass out. Rehearsals are already exhausting, and now we’re doing a sports event?"
"I’m not going to exert myself at the sports event. I need to save my energy for the stage."
Standing in the broadcast room, Wan Kai’s expression was dark. He hadn’t expected that this last-minute addition to the schedule would spark such strong resistance from the trainees.
In truth, this event was meant to build hype for another variety show four months later, modeled after "Idol Trainee Sports Day" from Japan.
Joining him today was the chief director of the sports event, a director nurtured by Tencent Company.
Wan Kai had personally brought him here to avoid making Yang Xiaoyue feel sidelined, but it turned out Yang Xiaoyue hadn’t said much at all—the trainees were the ones expressing intense opposition.
"Mr. Wan, I think we should cut down the number of game events. The trainees have already been working incredibly hard lately," Sun Miao said as he glanced at the director, disregarding the latter’s expression.
The director looked at Wan Kai, hesitant to say anything. After all, this program was almost guaranteed to be a hit. If the next episode succeeded, its popularity would be set in stone.
The company wouldn’t sabotage an ongoing show for the sake of a program that hadn’t even started yet.
Still, his pride was wounded—he had called in a senior for support, but ultimately failed to hold his ground.
"Alright, let’s just play a few simple games. We’re here mainly to observe how you organize a large-scale event like this and learn from the experience," Wan Kai said with a smile.
"We’ll do our best to cooperate," Yang Xiaoyue replied with a smile.
Under the blue sky and white clouds.
The girls assembled on the emerald-green lawn, facing the gentle breeze.
This was a small park behind the dormitory building, temporarily rented through negotiations between Tencent and the relevant authorities.
Standing outdoors, many of the girls felt their mood lighten considerably.
The past few days of high-intensity, stressful training had left them physically and mentally exhausted.
This could count as a chance to unwind—some of the mounting stress from the upcoming first public performance was carried away by the cool summer breeze.
The girls entered in groups based on their teams for the public performance, while the production team even prepared nametags for them, giving the event an impressively formal air.
After that, they played four games: musical chairs, three-legged races, arm wrestling, and catch the mother hen.
Although they’d initially said they needed to conserve energy, as soon as they started playing, these vibrant, hormone-driven girls couldn’t control themselves at all.
During a round of musical chairs with Wu Zixuan, Lv Fangxin twisted her ankle.
...
"Fangxin, how about going to the medical room to get checked out? You can’t go on like this," Chen Yinghan said with concern after they returned to the dormitory, seeing how much difficulty the former had with walking.
"No, Sister Jiang specifically told me not to do any intense activities before we set out, but now..." Lv Fangxin looked like a child who had done something wrong.
"But you can’t go on like this! We still have training tomorrow."
"I’ll use some ice water. Back home, I twisted my hand once, and it got better overnight with an ice compress."
Chen Yinghan looked at her helplessly. Just as she was about to forcibly drag Lv Fangxin away, there was a knock at the door.
"Zixuan, why are you here?" Chen Yinghan sounded surprised, then noticed the bottle of herbal medicine oil in Wu Zixuan’s hand.
"Fangxin twisted her ankle, so I brought her some medicine," Wu Zixuan said warmly, with a gentle smile.
"Oh! Please come in!" Chen Yinghan replied with a gracious smile.
"Zixuan, thank you for coming to see me. Where did you get the herbal medicine oil?"
"I used to be a trainee in Japan. Getting injured was a common occurrence there, and no one would ever take special care of you. You had to learn to take care of yourself."
"It must have been tough being on your own out there."
Lv Fangxin spoke empathetically, taking the herbal oil from Wu Zixuan, opening the bottle, pouring some into her hand, and patting it onto her ankle like applying iodine.
Wu Zixuan chuckled softly, "That’s not how you use it. You need to rub it in so the medicine penetrates your skin."
Seeing that Lv Fangxin truly didn’t know how, Wu Zixuan added, "Here, let me do it for you."
Lv Fangxin instinctively glanced at Chen Yinghan, and seeing her simply smile and remain silent, she hesitated but didn’t stop Wu Zixuan.
Wu Zixuan calmly poured some oil into her hands, rubbed them together, and grabbed Lv Fangxin’s ankle, giving it a firm massage.
"Zixuan, for someone who looks so gentle, your hands are quite strong!"
"Haha, you have to use force to make it work. You want it to feel warm—that way, the medicinal effect kicks in quickly."
Wu Zixuan noticed the smoothness of Lv Fangxin’s skin—it was full of youthful radiance.
Lv Fangxin observed Wu Zixuan as well, noting her well-proportioned physique, fair complexion, and naturally gentle look in her eyes.
Her hands, slender and delicate, were almost unnaturally beautiful.
"Does it still hurt?" Wu Zixuan pressed lightly on her ankle.
Lv Fangxin’s face flushed, and she shook her head: "Not as much anymore."
"Your sprain doesn’t seem too severe. Apply an ice pack overnight—it should be fine by tomorrow. But make sure not to do any intense exercises for the next couple of days."
As Wu Zixuan spoke, she applied another layer of herbal oil, patiently massaging it in.
"Mm!" Lv Fangxin nodded with a voice as soft as a mosquito’s. She accidentally locked eyes with Wu Zixuan, her heart momentarily fluttering in disarray.
...
"She’s already left, and yet you’re still dazed," Chen Yinghan teased with a half-smile, sitting next to Lv Fangxin.
"Yinghan, what are you saying? I’m just tired."
"Haha! Seems like I need to keep an eye on you. Quite a few people have their eyes on you—getting injured and immediately having someone bring you medicine and fruits."
Chen Yinghan’s gaze made Lv Fangxin lower her head, her face flushed like she was feverish.
"It wasn’t fruit!"
"Wasn’t it? Wu Zixuan might as well be a peach herself!"
"Who cares what kind of peach—my favorite is melon!"
Catching Lv Fangxin’s reaction, Chen Yinghan couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Just then, the dormitory door opened, and Lu Xiaoman walked in after finishing practice.
"What’s that weird smell?" She sniffed hard and gave Lv Fangxin and Chen Yinghan a suspicious look.
"The herbal medicine oil smell is so strong! Who got injured?" At that moment, Yang Yiyi entered, shaking her head and loudly asking.
Lu Xiaoman snorted coldly, rolled her eyes at Lv Fangxin, and walked into the bathroom.
Yang Yiyi stuck out her tongue and teasingly smiled at Lu Xiaoman’s retreating figure.
Chen Yinghan thanked Yang Yiyi with a nod.
Although Lu Xiaoman was displeased with Chen Yinghan and Lv Fangxin, she avoided publicly clashing with them to prevent being forced off the show and laughed at by others. Instead, she silently endured.
Her goal was to keep the two under her watchful eye. She calculated that after the first public performance, Lv Fangxin—the useless trainee failing both in singing and dancing—would leave.
Then she could reclaim her "friendship" with Chen Yinghan for herself.
