I desperately want to win on the peninsula

The organizers were quite strange; they recorded a program for over twenty hours without providing any food or water to the audience on the sidelines.

Furthermore, fans are not allowed to leave the venue during the entire event; if they do, their tickets will be automatically invalidated and they will not be able to re-enter.

This situation has led to fans who follow their idols going hungry while still having to support them – it's truly unbelievable.

So, it has become a custom for idols to provide food and water to fans who come to support them, even though it's unclear when it started.

Of course, this is a meaningful thing.

This is why Lin Qianqiao left. He was going with his teammates to deliver lunchboxes to the fans. The reason for delivering them early was that the fans arrived even earlier than their idols, and they couldn't bring their own food. He was afraid that if they shouted a few words of support, they would faint from low blood sugar.

So send it as soon as possible, and maybe have a little interaction with it.

Monstax was quite practical; the first bento he prepared was packed full, with a vegetable salad, a bottle of water, and a bag of bread.

Then everyone wrote tips on sticky notes and stuck them on their bento boxes, so now all that's needed is to deliver the food to the fans.

Although it was Monstax's first time participating in the Idol Star Athletics Championships, he knew that this segment was already a regular feature.

When Captain Shouwnu and several members arrived at the stands carrying two insulated boxes, there weren't many fans; at a glance, there were probably around forty people.

The fans were all randomly selected by the company, and they had been informed in advance that this segment would take place. There were also fans of other groups in the stands. When they saw the members of MONSTAX come up, they were initially quite happy and even let out a few gasps, but they did not disturb others and quickly returned to a quiet wait.

The two younger members started unpacking and feeding the food. One fan took the lunchbox and couldn't wait to start asking the boy in front of her questions. Judging from the questions, she was a mom fan.

"Kyo, will you make any new friends if we bump into each other?"

Not yet.

Is MONSTAX ready to make a comeback?

"It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon."

Comeback promotional materials are usually released a month in advance, so in the meantime, there should be materials available in the next couple of days. But even if Lin Qianqiao doesn't say anything, it won't make a difference.

The hair color of several members speaks volumes. Last time, he used a disposable spray, and a few days later, he went to the dressing room and had it washed with chemicals, which made the color fade.

Before long, the reverse support event was successfully completed. All that was left was to chat and take a group photo, which was not much different from the autograph session. Since most of the fans who came had been seen at the autograph session, they knew without a doubt that they were there to draw lots for album purchases.

After everything was finished, the members said goodbye to the fans who came to support them and left, as the MONSTAX project would begin later.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xian wanted to leave the group after only a few steps, but stopped to watch for a while because he saw that it was an archery competition of CLC.

Choi Yoo-jin did quite well, actually hitting a bullseye. The whole stadium cheered for her, and she smiled broadly as her teammates celebrated around her.

Lin Qianqiao nodded in agreement, and Zhou Xian couldn't wait to pull him to another place.

The two walked and stopped, and then came to a place that looked like a sports equipment store.

When Lin Qianqiao saw Jin Xuexuan on guard duty, she understood. She glanced at the smirking Zhou Xian with annoyance and said, "I'll do my job well, don't worry..."

"Kamsamda!" Zhou Xian said, bowing repeatedly in gratitude.

After walking up to Kim Seol-hyun, Zhou Xian said a few words and then turned the corner of the corridor.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Qianqiao and Jin Xuexuan, who had been abandoned, stared at each other in disbelief. The person who came up with the idea of ​​having the two of them stand guard must be a genius.

"Don't you have anything you want to tell me?" Kim Seolhyun broke the silence first.

"No." Lin Qianqiao shook her head.

It's only been a week since we last saw each other, and we've been in touch by phone before, so what could we possibly have to say to each other?

Before anyone could answer, Lin Qianqiao turned her head and saw several cardboard boxes. She then moved her feet and walked towards them.

"Hey! You must have a lot to say to Apink's Son Naeun, right?" Kim Seolhyun was puzzled but still followed behind and muttered quietly.

Lin Qianqiao bent down, picked up the cardboard box, tore it open along the marks, turned it over, and laid it on the ground. He clapped his hands in triumph.

Then, turning her head, she saw Jin Xuexuan's resentful little eyes. Lin Qianqiao didn't care and plopped down on the paper mat. She looked up and casually replied, "She's probably quite busy right now, so I can't say anything."

"Move over a bit!" Kim Seolhyun sat down next to him, and even nudged Lin Qianqiao with extra force, then kept moving and squeezing him.

"She's incredibly hard to win over; you have no chance, the probability is zero!"

"..." Lin Qianqiao, who was squeezed to the side, was a little speechless. He glanced at Jin Xuexuan and said, "The probability of zero is Nash theory, which actually proves that the probability of zero will not occur in reality."

"I don't believe it!" Kim Seolhyun didn't understand but was still stubborn.

Lin Qianqiao nodded. "For example, Na-eun is waiting for help at the end of the train, while you, the knight, are at the rear, but there are eight carriages in between. Four of the eight carriages contain poison gas, but each is equipped with a disposable gas mask. All the fellow contestants must cross the danger to save Princess Na-eun. If Knight Seolhyun wants to win the beauty's heart, everyone has to compete."

"Why is Naeun a princess and I'm a knight?"

Kim Seolhyun seemed to value trivial premises, and Lin Qianqiao, upon hearing this, immediately said, "Then I can say it again from the other side."

"Hmph~ No need, Naeun is a princess, I'm just a knight." Kim Seolhyun pouted and huffed.

"Because I feel that Seolhyun is more like a knight. If the great task of saving the princess is entrusted to you, everyone will feel at ease."

"Really?"

"Yes... really."

"Hehe, then continue."

Lin Qianqiao saw her nod, "If everyone chooses not to wear gas masks right now, the probability will be zero, because everyone will die. Also, if everyone gives up on saving Princess Naeun, the probability will also be zero, because nothing happening is also zero."

"It's like when everyone is selectively sabotaging something, the probability gets close to zero. So people who want to do bad things won't succeed, and they won't give others a chance to succeed either." Lin Qianqiao shrugged and rambled on to Jin Xuexuan as if he were telling a boring story. "But if someone breaks through the encirclement with a lucky break or reads the question correctly, there won't be a zero probability."

"What do you mean?" Kim Seolhyun was taken aback.

Lin Qian said with a smile, "Unless you give up, the probability won't be zero. As long as you bravely go for it, a miracle might happen. Knight Seolhyun has a chance to win Princess Naeun's heart and then live a shameless life."

"Hehe..." Kim Seolhyun seemed to be really lost in her fantasy, grinning foolishly.

But she quickly regained her senses, turned her head to look at Lin Qianqiao, and asked, "How did you come up with this story?"

"This is part of our album's comeback concept," Lin Qianqiao replied casually.

"A knight rescuing a princess? That's awesome! I'll buy the album to support you guys."

"Kamsammida..."

"It's alright, because we're all knights."

"I shouldn't be considered a knight, I'm the villain."

"what?"

"That's it. I'm the main villain responsible for capturing Princess Naeun and having Knight Seolhyun rescue her. Otherwise, where would the core motivation of the adventure story be?" Lin Qianqiao pointed a pistol at the invisible wall and made a "piu~" sound.

Stunned, Kim Seolhyun gritted her teeth and glared at him angrily, "Then aren't we rivals?"

"This is fatalism, also known as the common origin of enemies and foes... Originally, I was also an unruly knight, but Princess Naeun only had eyes for Knight Seolhyun, so I chose to fall into darkness, kidnap the princess, and become the Villain Knight..."

"Mo!"

Lin Qianqiao glanced at the dark corner, then looked back at Jin Xuexuan's face, raising an eyebrow. "Besides... given the current situation, we shouldn't be rivals."

"Let me tell you..." Kim Seolhyun leaned close to Lim Gwan-chiao's ear and whispered with great interest, "If Jimin unnie and Joo Heon-ssi can work together, they'll definitely have a lot of opportunities to meet in the future."

"A collaboration?" Upon hearing this news for the first time, Lin Qianqiao subconsciously turned her head to look at Jin Xuexuan, and then met her bright, sparkling eyes, her pupils always shining as if they held the brilliance of the entire starry sky. When she tilted her head slightly, her eyes shone with a mixture of innocence and cunning.

Lin Qianqiao thought that Jin Xuexuan was probably just pretending to be cute. She glanced at her forehead and saw that her previous acne had disappeared. She should be in a stable mood and sleeping well recently.

It's also possible that three layers of concealer were used to cover it up.

"Yeah, haven't you heard of it?" Kim Seolhyun asked curiously, even leaning her head closer.

The two were very close; Lin Qianqiao could even smell the scent of her shampoo. She gently shook her head. "No."

Kim Seolhyun seemed oblivious, still leaning over to look at people. She blinked and asked, "Unnie said the top four contestants of SMTM won't lack collaboration offers. Hasn't Inui Takumi received any cases?"

"Yes... but I haven't considered it yet." Lin Qianqiao had indeed received an invitation, and even his agent had mentioned it to him, but it was impossible for him to do so in the near future.

"Who is it? Do I know them?"

"..."

Lin Qianqiao pretended to hesitate and turned her head to look at the air, without continuing the conversation.

Seeing this, Kim Seolhyun impatiently grabbed his arm and shook it, feigning a coquettish tone, and said, "Just tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone."

"Was AOA involved in the girl group battle in July?"

"Of course! We won this one, even over your senior SISTAR."

Kim Seolhyun replied with a smile, "But what does that have to do with anything?"

"Crispy bones..." Lin Qianqiao gave a thumbs up, but her face remained unchanged. "Because many of the companies that belong to the groups in this great battle have sent cooperation intentions to Starship."

Looking back at the girl group battles, Girls' Generation, Stellar, Mamammo, AoA, Girls' Day, Gfriend, Apink... these are just the groups in the battle; there are others, but I haven't mentioned them.

As soon as she finished speaking, Kim Seolhyun couldn't help but ask, "Including AOA?"

Lin Qianqiao gave her a strange look. "This is just an intention, casting a wide net, didn't you know?"

"I don't know..." Kim Seolhyun hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

She was extremely conflicted. She wanted to say something, but couldn't bring herself to speak. In the end, she silently rested her chin on her knees and spaced out.

Seeing this, Lin Qianqiao stopped talking and squinted, letting her mind wander.

The collaboration depends on the success of this group's comeback. If the results don't meet expectations, the company will most likely let him and Jooheon seek new opportunities elsewhere. After all, both of them have the popularity of SM Entertainment, making them highly sought-after artists who would love to collaborate with them.

If the performance meets the target, the company will probably be a bit more reserved, but they will definitely still let it go out for cooperation.

Because idol groups can't possibly consume all the traffic from SM Entertainment, the fandom and hip-hop circles can never be confused. The hype will only dissipate if it's accumulated, and it's impossible for a small company to waste it. Cooperation and win-win are inevitable.

Lin Qianqiao also had his own plans. Since the team's performance was really bad, he would cosplay Akashi opening the Emperor's Eye and fight alone.

After an unknown amount of time, there was finally movement in the dark corner. Upon hearing the sound, the two opened their eyes at the same time and turned their heads to look, showing remarkable tacit understanding.

He stunned everyone who came towards him for a moment. When he walked up to the two of them, Lin Qianqiao pouted and asked, "Can we go now?"

"Yes, let's go first." Zhou Xian chuckled and pulled Lin Qianqiao up, said goodbye to Jin Xuexuan, and left.

"See you next time." Lin Qianqiao nodded to Jin Xuexuan and then left with Zhou Xian.

"Yes." Kim Seolhyun responded, watching his figure gradually disappear into the distance, and pursed her lips.

As Lin Qianqiao stepped out of the doorway where the sports equipment was displayed, she was about to say something to Zhou Xian when she caught a glimpse of him.

Then he spotted Zico from Blcok b, who was smugly leading a girl this way. He also noticed Lin Qianqiao and Zhou Xian, who had just come out of the door, and his expression froze.

After noticing the two, the girl immediately hid behind Zico with such speed that it was as if she was dodging paparazzi, which prevented the two from seeing her face clearly, making the situation a bit awkward.

The two simply walked past each other without exchanging greetings.

Those who are able to come here need no further explanation; Lin Qianqiao has already grasped the purpose of the Olympiad.

Zico, who had grasped the concept earlier and had already mastered it, understood it even better, but wondered who these two people were squatting here with.

A short while later, when Shin Jimin and Kim Seolhyun came out, Zico paused for a moment, staring at the two women as if in disbelief.

Zico finally figured out who had stolen his prey, and a surge of anger welled up inside him. His eyes widened in fury as he cursed the two couples in his mind.

He was about to angrily confront her when Shin Jimin pulled Kim Seolhyun away, saying as they walked, "Let's be careful not to disturb other people's enjoyment."

"Sigh—" Zico, feeling frustrated at being ignored, hesitated as he watched Shin Jimin and Kim Seolhyun brush past him.

Kim Seolhyun was completely bewildered, never expecting to run into this person here... She followed Shin Jimin like a puppet.

The most awkward situation was for Zico's female companion, who had been invited along. Two groups of people bumped into her, and now she's hiding herself completely...

"Oppa... let's call it a day, I'm leaving now." Seeing so many people coming and going, she immediately lost interest, said goodbye, and ran off.

One unpleasant thing after another happened. Zico stood there watching the woman he had just chatted with leave, his eyes filled with intense displeasure...

Finally, the Idol Star Athletics Championships continued to be recorded as usual, and the audience gradually dispersed in batches as night fell.

In conclusion, some are happy while others are sad.
