The Goddess is a Little Pitiful, I Invested in Her!

Chapter 19: The Most Foolish Person in the World!

Before Lian Qingxue’s appearance, Qi Yun overheard a conversation between a male celebrity and a chubby talent agent.

“What’s so great about these performances? They’re just kids, boring.” It was the voice of the male star.

The chubby agent seemed to be patiently persuading him, “Aren’t we here for promotion? If we leave now, there will be no photos.”

Qi Yun caught a glimpse of Director Li’s face, a flash of anger passing over it.

Soon, Qi Yun had no time to pay attention to others.

Lian Qingxue took the stage.

She was dressed in an ancient style white gown, the skirt dragging on the ground as if a celestial being had descended onto the stage.

The music started.

Lian Qingxue began her dance.

Qi Yun’s gaze could not leave Lian Qingxue for a moment.

When she waved her water sleeves, Qi Yun’s heart trembled.

When she looked back at him, Qi Yun couldn’t help but frown for her.

He didn’t really understand dance.

He had not seen many women dance, let alone this kind of classical dance.

He was nearly ignorant before.

But he could feel that Lian Qingxue’s dance skills were far beyond what she had claimed, that she had simply learned from the television.

Her ability to enchant someone like him, who knew nothing about dance, spoke volumes about her skill.

Only then did Qi Yun realize that the girl he thought he had fully discovered was still full of surprises.

“Do you know? Qingxue is actually very talented…” Xiao Yu, watching Lian Qingxue’s dance, suddenly spoke.

Her voice was not as carefree as usual, instead carrying a tone of seriousness and sympathy.

“Is that so?”

“Since she was little, Qingxue has loved dancing. When she was eight, a teacher from the capital’s dance academy came here and immediately took a liking to Qingxue.”

Xiao Yu recounted a past event.

“She said Qingxue was a born dancer, wanted to take her to the capital, and even offered to adopt Qingxue, to train her into a master dancer.”

Qi Yun was somewhat puzzled, “Then why…”

“Because Qingxue refused. She told the teacher she didn’t like dancing, didn’t want to be a dancer. But I know that after the teacher left, Qingxue hid in her blanket and cried for a long time, and never talked about dancing in front of us again.”

Qi Yun looked up at the still dancing Lian Qingxue, and what came to his mind was the image of eight-year-old Qingxue hiding in her blanket and crying.

Xiao Yu turned her head to look at him, “Actually, Qingxue has always been the most obedient, smartest, and prettiest child here. Many people wanted to adopt her, but each time, she found reasons to refuse.”

“I know, Director Li knows, the kids in the orphanage know. Qingxue just can’t leave this old, broken, and poor orphanage. She’s too emotional and can’t let go of anyone she cares about.”

Qi Yun was silent for a long time, “I understand.”

“No! You don’t!” Xiao Yu suddenly became emotional, “She didn’t sign up for this performance initially, but she suddenly signed up yesterday!”

“Just because you were coming!”

“She hasn’t danced in ten years, this dance, is for you to see!”

“She has changed a lot for you!”

“Qingxue doesn’t say much, but she’s the most foolish person in the world. She cares about you deeply, and your every move could hurt her.”

Qi Yun looked at Xiao Yu and said very seriously, “I understand, I really do.”

When someone entrusts such a pure and transparent heart to him, how could Qi Yun not understand?

…

When Lian Qingxue finished her dance, there was a long silence from the audience.

Not just Qi Yun, everyone was left speechless by her stunning performance.

After a long time, the chubby talent agent suddenly shouted, “Genius! A star in the making! I want to sign her!”

With such a dance and such a face, the agent believed he had stumbled upon the greatest opportunity of his life.

His enthusiasm startled Director Li.

At this time, the sour male star chimed in, “The dance wasn’t that great, she’s just relying on her looks, right?”

Director Li was about to speak up when the chubby agent yelled, “What gives you the confidence to say others are only relying on their looks? What do you think you’re relying on? Talent?”

“By the way, your face is fake!”

The male star’s face turned green.

K.O!

“Pfft!” Director Li covered her mouth, “I’m sorry, I just thought of something funny.”

But when the chubby agent started looking for Lian Qingxue, he found that she had disappeared.

Director Li had a guess.

She also noticed that Qi Yun and Xiao Yu were gone.
