Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

Late at night, the lights in the dance studio were still bright, as if silently announcing a kind of persistence and enthusiasm. Li Cheng and Song Qian's figures jumped repeatedly in front of the mirror, and every spin and every gesture revealed their solemnity and concentration on the upcoming New Year's Eve party.

The air is filled with a mixture of pine resin and sweat, the smell of hard work and enthusiasm.

Li Cheng's eyes were full of humility and desire. Whenever Victoria Song gave careful instructions, he would always lean over to listen, and his straight posture seemed to be welcoming the challenge of every dance step.

And Victoria Song was so rigorous and gentle. Her palm gently stroked Li Cheng's shoulder, and every touch was like carving a piece of work of art.

Time flies by in this concentration, as if the approaching New Year’s bell cannot bear to disturb this perfect rhythm.

On the floor, the shadows of the two people intertwined, and the spinning and jumping seemed to be telling the importance of the New Year's Eve party. Every movement must be precise and every coordination must be seamless.

The music reverberated in the space, and every note seemed to cheer for their efforts.

Even though it was late at night, the dance studio was full of vitality. There was no trace of fatigue on Li Cheng and Song Qian's faces, only determination for the upcoming performance and the pursuit of perfection.

Under the lights, the sound of their footsteps and heartbeats interweave into a moving melody. This is their New Year's Eve dance, and every moment is carefully woven without any room for error.

The Changsha sky gradually turned pale, and the hazy morning light shone through the window onto the wooden floor of the dance studio.

Li Cheng, Song Qian and their dancers looked a little tired under the slightly swaying lights, but they were more resilient and persistent.

The music never stopped all night and the floor was soaked with sweat.

Li Cheng's movements became more and more smooth, every joint of his body seemed to be telling the soul of dance, and every rotation was precise and powerful.

Victoria Song looked at him with surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect this man to learn dance so quickly. His body seemed to be born for the stage.

But behind this surprise is Song Qian's unspeakable regret.

Li Cheng has the potential to become a top singer and dancer, but his choices always make people feel a little regretful.

She knew that Li Cheng had his own unique insights and persistence in his pursuit of art, and that even if he worked all night long, he would make every move to perfection.

The dancers were also exhausted, but no one complained. Their eyes were full of respect, and they were impressed by Li Cheng's talent and hard work.

The air in the dance studio is filled with sweat and heat, but more of it is filled with the smell of dreams and passion.

As the sky gradually brightened, Li Cheng landed with a gorgeous leap and stood steadily in the center of the dance studio.

There was a tired smile on his face, the pride of having completed a whole night's hard work.

Victoria Song walked up to him and patted him gently on the shoulder, her eyes flashing with admiration and reluctance for this extraordinary man.

In the early morning of Changsha, with the first ray of sunshine, the vitality of this city begins to slowly awaken.

In the dance studio, Li Cheng, Song Qian and their dancers have used their sweat to prepare for the prosperity that is about to take place in this city.

"Shall we go to the scene now?"

Sweat had already soaked Song Qian's T-shirt, and she revealed a different curve when she drank water.

Li Cheng didn't pay any attention at all, but drank water while making an OK gesture to Song Qian.

The two of them looked at the dancers, who noticed their eyes and nodded. This night was no problem at all for them. Staying up late was a common occurrence for them, but they did not expect tonight to be so smooth. Especially when it came to Li Cheng paying attention to details, he was sometimes even stricter than Victoria Song and would not tolerate even the slightest flaw.

"Brother, Sister Qian!"

At this time, Xiao Wang came downstairs carrying a lot of bags.

The people who had just left the building were delighted when they saw Li Cheng's brother rushing over.

"Xiao Wang, what did you buy?"

Song Qian couldn't bear the food anymore. Although she had a midnight snack that night, dancing is a physical activity and she was really hungry.

As Xiao Wang was distributing them, he said, "There are steamed buns and fried dough sticks, both from the first batch!"

Li Cheng did not receive the same treatment as these people. Instead, he took the sandwich handed to him by Xiao Wang and curled his lips.

Song Qian was about to take a bite of the bun when she saw the breakfast in Li Cheng's hand and asked, "Will you be full with this one?"

"I'm not full. I'll eat later."

Li Cheng shook his head, reluctantly opened the plastic wrap, and took a bite.

Victoria Song clicked her tongue and said, "It's time to play the game, just hold on a little longer!"

"Yes! We'll go cheer you on then!"

"Yeah, yeah, I haven't been to the Olympics yet!"

“It turns out that athletes work so hard!”

“It’s so difficult!”

"."

The dancers were all saying nice things. Everyone knows that athletes need to control their diet!
Li Cheng sighed and said, "Let's go!"

"set off!"

The early morning sunlight shines through the heavy curtains, gradually illuminating the space behind the scenes of the Toilet TV New Year's Eve stage.

The staff have already been busy, their faces are full of seriousness and concentration.

Cameras were neatly arranged, their lenses aimed at the empty stage, as if quietly awaiting the upcoming carnival.

The lighting technician was adjusting the colorful lighting equipment, and the subtle sounds of turning the knobs became a rigorous symphony.

Every change in color silently tells of their persistent pursuit of details.

The sound engineer carefully placed the speakers on the side, leaning over to adjust each syllable to ensure that every note could be perfectly delivered to the audience during the broadcast.

The prop masters on the stage are carefully checking every detail, from the mounting of the scenery to the placement of the stunt equipment, all reflecting their rigorous attitude.

Their light footsteps echoed on the stage, as if they were afraid of disturbing the wonderful performance that was about to take place here.

In the director's room, the big screen shows the program process that has been rehearsed many times. The director holds a walkie-talkie and directs every aspect of the scene with a sharp gaze.

His words are concise and powerful, and every instruction is a pursuit and commitment to a perfect performance.

On such a morning, although Hunan Satellite TV’s New Year’s Eve stage has not yet opened, the hard work and sweat behind it have already begun.

Every staff member is like a bright star, silently emitting light in this city that has not yet fully awakened, just to bloom brilliantly at that moment.

Li Cheng and Song Qian walked side by side, accompanied by their dance team, and entered the Toilet TV's New Year's Eve stage.

Their footsteps made a crisp sound on the smooth ground. The scene before them made their eyes widen involuntarily, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

The stage is magnificent, the lights are dazzling, and in the midst of a riot of colour, the staff are like busy worker bees, some are debugging complex sound equipment, some are carefully arranging the stage background, and others are quickly conveying instructions on the intercom.

Everyone was concentrating and meticulous, and the air was filled with a tense and focused atmosphere, as if every detail was related to the success of the party.

There was a gleam of excitement in Victoria Song's eyes and her heart was pounding. She was extremely excited about the performance here.

Li Cheng frowned slightly, and his eyes swept over the busy staff. From their tense expressions, he felt the huge pressure that Ma Toilet TV was under for this New Year's Eve party. The huge LED screen was playing the wonderful moments of previous years, and the colorful pictures seemed to foreshadow the upcoming carnival.

The giant clock on the stage was ticking, and every second was approaching the moment of zero.

Li Cheng and Song Qian exchanged glances and understood each other that this stage was not just a place to perform, but also the place where their dreams came true and a rare opportunity in their artistic career.

"Cheng Cheng! Cheng Cheng!"

As soon as Li Cheng arrived near the stage, he heard a familiar voice.

"Director Wei!"

The person who came was one of the directors of Hao6 and also the producer of this New Year's Eve event.

"How's the dance practice going?"

"Are you talking about me and Sister Qian or Reconciliation 6?"

"All."

Victoria Song smiled and patted Li Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Director Wei, don't you know Cheng Cheng's dancing skills? He's a real talent! He watched it once tonight and remembered the general idea. Later, when we danced and sang, he didn't even breathe hard."

"It seems that what I said was right. You are born to be an idol!"

Director Wei shook his head after he finished speaking. It was impossible for Li Cheng to become an idol with his identity and family background, especially since he didn’t have a stage yet. The New Year’s Eve stage was also a very big stage for domestic idols!

"You guys should rehearse first!"

"Okay, Director Wei!"

"Okay, Director Wei!"

Director Wei took a look around and continued to work. The New Year's Eve stage performance on the toilet was a big deal and could not be taken lightly.

When the stage lights came on, Li Cheng and Song Qian were ready. They were dressed in very simple private clothes, he was wearing a loose black T-shirt that was very baggy, and she was wearing a belly-baring short-sleeved top that swayed slightly with her movements.

Their eyes met, and a tacit understanding condensed in the air.

The music started playing, it was the song the duo had chosen for their New Year's Eve party.

Li Cheng's voice is clear and magnetic, while Song Qian's singing is soft yet powerful.

Their singing skills blended perfectly, the melodies flowed beautifully, and their voices flowed through the entire rehearsal scene like a spring.

The dance was choreographed to perfection; every move of Li Cheng was powerful, while Victoria Song complemented the performance with her soft and graceful dancing posture.

Every turn and every jump they made seemed carefully choreographed, smooth and passionate.

As the performance progressed, the lighting technicians, sound engineers, stage designers and others who were originally concentrating on their respective jobs were attracted over.

They stopped what they were doing and watched the pair's every move intently.

The lights changed with the rhythm and the sound effects were enhanced in time, turning the entire rehearsal scene into a perfect small performance.

Li Cheng and Song Qian's cooperation was impeccable. Their smiles bloomed on the stage, infecting everyone.

Even the serious director couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

There was an indescribable excitement and anticipation in the air, as if this moment would last forever.

After the rehearsal, the scene was quiet for a moment, and then broke into thunderous applause.

Li Cheng and Song Qian smiled at each other, their eyes sparkling with anticipation for the upcoming real performance. They knew that tonight's New Year's Eve stage, they would use their voices and dances to present an unforgettable feast for the audience.

"Who was on the stage just now?"

A person who was resting in the lounge was swaying to the live music with a smile on his face. He nodded frequently when he heard the music.

"Brother Yuan, it's Cheng Cheng!"

This person is none other than the captain of the re-employed boy band Supreme Lihe! Zhang Yuan!

"Hmm~ Cheng Cheng sang really well!" Zhang Yuan turned around and looked at his assistant and asked, "Is that girl's voice Xiao Tian?"

"No, it's Teacher Victoria Song!"

Zhang Yuan's eyes widened for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said, "Wow, I was thinking, hearing the duo's rehearsal singing makes me look forward to the performance tonight!"

Zhang Yuan also came here early in the morning to queue up. He didn't expect that someone had arrived early at six o'clock, but he didn't ask too many questions. He really didn't expect it to be Li Cheng.

Stage Scene
Director Wei showed up again, gave Li Cheng and Song Qian a thumbs up and said, "You two performed amazingly on stage!"

“There is still room for improvement!”

Li Cheng shook his head slightly. Although the performance just now was good, there were still some flaws. He and Song Qian were still a little restrained.

"It was just a fake kiss, don't be embarrassed! I didn't say anything!"

At the end, Victoria Song could clearly feel Li Cheng backing away. Originally, the two of them were just pretending to kiss and it wasn't real. She really didn't know why Li Cheng was so resistant.

"Sister, it's not that I'm embarrassed, I'm just really afraid that Xiaotian will skin me after our performance tonight!"

Li Cheng was worried about Xiaotian. Xiaotian was also a jealous person. Although she didn't say anything on the surface, if she saw this, there was no doubt that she would look at the two of them with sharp eyes. He could predict that the director would definitely cut the camera to Xiaotian in the end. He even thought of what the hot searches would be when this stage ended!

The sunlight shines through the mist onto the New Year's Eve stage, illuminating the figures of Li Cheng and Song Qian.

This was their last rehearsal in the early morning. The stage was empty and quiet. Only the breathing, dance steps and panting of the dancers echoed in the space.

Li Cheng's movements were extremely smooth, and every spin was full of power and grace.

His fingers seemed to have come to life, sliding gently across Victoria Song's back, following the rise and fall of the music, as if playing a silent melody.

Following his guidance, Victoria Song's body blossomed with tenderness like water. Every turn and bend of hers perfectly echoed Li Cheng's dance steps.

The air is filled with the faint scent of powder, which is the lingering scent of stage makeup and also reflects the dancers' love for stage art.

When their eyes met, a silent language was created, which was a tacit understanding that only partners who had gone through countless times of working together could understand.

With just one look from Li Cheng, Song Qian can accurately predict his next step; with just one turn from Song Qian, Li Cheng can adjust his pace in time.

As the music got louder, their dance steps became more intense.

Li Cheng's fingers seemed to be drawing delicate pictures on Song Qian's skin, and every touch seemed so precious and solemn.

They devote themselves to dancing, forgetting everything outside, and the stage becomes their only world.

As the last note echoed in the theater, Li Cheng and Song Qian's dance steps gradually calmed down.

They stood face to face, breathing slightly, their eyes filled with respect for each other and awe of the stage.

At this moment, they knew that they were ready to present the most perfect performance for the audience on the real stage. (End of this chapter)
