Chapter 71: Were Angels Meant To Be This Strong?

“Alright!” The young woman swiftly nodded.
She extended her hand and gripped Qi Wu’s.
As they had to stand very close to each other, the young woman was taken aback by Qi Wu’s beauty, causing her to space out from being enthralled by Qi wu.
Qi Wu’s skin was flawless. Even the hair on her arm was barely noticeable. While she was lost in thought, Qi Wu’s voice gently called out, “Done.”
The next thing the young woman saw was Qi Wu effortlessly flexing her wrist. Her arm immediately twisted backward without an ounce of resistance.
The young woman was bewildered.
She stared at her arm, which was lying flat on the table, in disbelief. Even though Qi Wu had already pulled back, she could still feel the effects of Qi Wu’s strength lingering in her arm.
Were angels meant to be this strong?
The girl found it hard to believe. Even in the latter rounds, she kept a close eye on Qi Wu.
It was not until she witnessed Qi Wu easily defeat every single one of her opponents that she finally accepted the fact that Qi Wu was strong.
In the end, Qi Wu and Tong Luo were the last two standing for the women’s division of the Actor category.
As Tong Luo had expected, Qi Wu was her final opponent. She turned to the referee standing nearby and raised her hand. “I forfeit.”
The referee was at a loss for words.
The other contestants did not object to her surrender. After all, surrendering now was better than being defeated in a second!
“Qi Wu’s wrist is so slim. How is she so strong?”
“Isn’t she tired? I don’t even see a drop of sweat on her face!”
“Is arm wrestling a required skill for angels?”
“All I can say is that the bigshot is definitely a powerhouse. She’s great at everything, even arm wrestling.”
Song Qi, who was watching from the sidelines, was not surprised by this turn of events. He had known about the peculiar strength hidden within Qi Wu’s lanky body since Qi Wu had saved Tong Luo.
Shen Xi smiled. “I didn’t expect Qi Wu to be so strong.”
“She’s full of surprises,” Song Qi remarked.
When Tang Liuhua’s cold gaze fell upon Qi Wu, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes.
With the conclusion of the arm wrestling competition, it was time for the contestants to make their choice.
As Qi Wu stood in front of Song Qi and scanned the four scripts available, she suddenly glanced up at him.
Ignoring Song Qi’s puzzled expression, she chose Song Qi’s “City of Loneliness.”
On the screen, Qi Wu’s picture was swiftly added to the column next to the script’s name.
After making her choice, Qi Wu turned and walked away. Song Qi could not resist clicking his tongue as he watched her leave.
Show me just what kind of characters you can bring to life.
Shortly after Qi Wu made her selection, Jiang Xuxu excitedly rushed over from the Idol category side of the hall to her side.
“I got ‘Love in the City,’ Sweetie!” Jiang Xuxu exclaimed.
“Congratulations.”
Qi Wu replied with a gentle voice.
At that moment, Tan Song chimed in from behind them, “You picked ‘Love in the City’? I have a recording of Bai Huiyun’s dance rehearsal. Do you need it?”
Qi Wu and Jiang Xuxu simultaneously turned to him. Jiang Xuxu was taken aback.
“You really have one? Oh, yeah. You and Bai Huiyun are in the same generation. Still, why would she send you a recording of her dance rehearsal? Could it be that you two…”
Curiosity was audible in her voice.
Tan Song froze for a moment before panic flashed across his face.
He hastily waved his hands in denial as he clumsily explained, “No! We’re just friends!”
“Really?” Jiang Xuxu inched closer. Tan Song blushed. “Really!” “Xuxu, stop teasing him.”
Qi Wu sounded exasperated.
Jiang Xuxu suddenly laughed. “I was just messing with you. Well, sharing is caring. ”
Tan Song could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
He looked at Qi Wu with gratitude, but before he could fully relax, Jiang Xuxu piped up once more, asking, “Are you not going to share it with me?”
“I’ll send it to you later!”
Jiang Xuxu was born with a carefree and friendly personality. As long as she did not dislike someone, she could always get along with them.
Compared to her, Tan Song looked like he had social anxiety disorder. Hence, Tan Song found himself helpless against Jiang Xuxu’s teasing.
“Thank you, my friend!”
Jiang Xuxu happily patted Tan Song’s shoulder.
Tan Song shook his head as his ears turned red.
At that moment, Jiang Yiran rushed over. “Jiang Xuxu, let go of him!”
Jiang Xuxu only behaved when Qi Wu asked her to. When other people tried to order her around, it tended to spark her rebellious nature.
Therefore, when she heard Jiang Yiran, Jiang Xuxu did not back away from Tan Song. Instead, she clung to his arm.
“Look at how worried you are. I didn’t even do anything to him!”
“You evil woman!”
“Kinda,” Jiang Xuxu conceded.
She stuck her tongue out playfully.
Tong Luo observed from the side. She was now livelier and more playful than before.
After the Tong family was taken care of, a heavy weight seemed to have been lifted off her shoulders. She could finally be true to herself.
Jiang Xuxu and Jiang Yiran’s bickering led Tong Luo to cheer, “Go, Jiang Xuxu!”
Qi Wu blinked as a smile played on her lips. “It’s so fun to tease kids.”
Ke Lu silently gave Qi Wu a sideways glance.
It was clear that Qi Wu was adding fuel to the fire.
Their playful banter eventually grew a little too loud. When they finally realized it, they turned around to find Song Qi darkly glaring at them.
They fell silent.
Shoot. They were in trouble.
When Song Qi saw that they had finally quieted down, he immediately shouted out, “You guys will be staying behind to clean up after this!”
Thus, the six of them were left behind when everyone filed out.
Jiang Yiran grumbled, “What’s wrong with Mr. Song? Why am I being punished as well?”
Jiang Xuxu, who had just walked back from moving a table with Qi Wu, rolled her eyes upon hearing that. “If you hadn’t made a scene, we wouldn’t have been forced to stay behind.”
“It’s all because you were fooling around with Tan Song,”
Jiang Yiran retorted.
“Don’t make it sound so bad. What’s wrong with friends having fun? Don’t you agree, Tan Song?”
Due to the intense and threatening glare from Jiang Xuxu, Tan Song reluctantly muttered through gritted teeth, “Yes.”
Jiang Xuxu turned to Jiang Yiran with a triumphant expression. “See?”
Just then, Ke Lu walked over and gently tapped Jiang Xuxu on the head. “Stop chattering. You may not be hungry, but Qi Wu is.”
Upon hearing that, Jiang Xuxu quickly turned to Qi Wu.
Qi Wu solemnly nodded. “Xuxu, we have to keep to regular mealtimes..”
