46: Direct one-handed knife

The remaining three, Kim Ji-soo and the others, also gave exemplary speeches, making me feel particularly uncultured.

Xu Zhiyou now only had one thought: this kind of internal competition is unacceptable and must be suppressed!

"Jisoo and Jennie's stances are the same, Rose and Lisa's stances are the same, while Zoe looks like an old man out for a stroll."

"This speech, I feel nervous just watching it through the screen. Out of five people, one didn't dare to speak, and four stumbled over their words."

"Rose's first words were a charming contrast; why does she sound so much like she's whining? I really want to take her home."

"Everyone was so nervous, why did Kim Ji-soo stumble over her words? Haha! And I'm in charge of Lisa's baby voice."

"My Jennie! Her lucky cat pose is undoubtedly Jennie the cat herself. Did you see? She's blushing!"

"My Kim Ji-soo, please look at the camera. Why are you looking down with such a beautiful face? The floor doesn't appreciate your beauty!"

"Is Zoe's expression serious? It's as if she's saying, 'You guys make me look so incompetent!' Haha ~"

"Most likely she forgot her lines!!!"

...

After their appearance, the debut showcase concluded, with the host later introducing their album release information.

Yang Hyun-suk really knows how to pick a time; the music and MV will be released at 8 PM on August 8th, emphasizing prosperity!

Additionally, their debut stage premiere was chosen for Inkigayo program on the 14th. After the stage premiere, they will officially enter the song promotion period.

After the debut showcase, they returned home to get a good night's sleep. The dark circles under her eyes had really developed during this period.

"Damn it! Number one on the real-time charts of 8 music streaming sites, fifth on the daily chart, and even made it into the weekly chart, haha!"

Lisa and Park Chaeyoung were shouting into their phones, startling Xu Zhiyou, who had just fallen asleep.

"You two brats, are you going to sleep or not? What's so interesting? We'll know tomorrow, won't we? I'm really fed up. How did I end up sharing a room with you two?"

They were temporarily staying there during their debut preparation period, and only after their first stage appearance could they move to a bigger house.

Originally, this was fine; she wasn't that demanding about her quality of life. But by some stroke of bad luck, she was assigned to a room with Park Chaeyoung and Lisa.

Every night, there would be late-night chats or heart-to-heart talks, or they'd be like, 'the moon doesn't sleep, so I don't sleep,' almost driving her crazy.

"Kim Ji-soo Unnie and Jennie-oni are also looking, why don't you say anything to them?"

"Lisa, are you sick in the head? Are they as noisy as you two? What sin have I committed to be assigned a room with you two idiots? Sigh!"

"Yah!"

Seeing Park Chaeyoung still daring to bare her teeth at her, she casually grabbed a pillow and threw it at her head, "You shut up too, or I'll tape your stinky mouth shut!"

"Hmph ~"

Park Chaeyoung could only turn her head and snort. If she bared her teeth again, she would definitely get a beating.

Xu Zhiyou was also helpless. Every time they climbed a rank, they'd let out a shout, severely disrupting her sleep.

If it weren't for the fact that the four of them had finally overcome their hardships, Xu Zhiyou might have really dug a hole and buried them on the spot. They were truly exhausting.

If she stayed there tonight, she wouldn't get any sleep. Grabbing her noise-canceling headphones, she went straight to Kim Ji-soo and Kim Jennie's room.

The two of them were also playing on their phones and were a bit surprised to see her run over so late at night, "Why are you here?"

"Move over, those two idiots are going crazy, I can't take it anymore!"

"Uh!"

Kim Ji-soo moved over. It wasn't like they hadn't slept together before, so she was used to it. Park Chaeyoung and Lisa were indeed a bit noisy.

Xu Zhiyou jumped onto the bed, put on her headphones, pulled the covers over her head, and hugged Kim Ji-soo's waist. Two words: comfortable.

"Can you not hug so tightly? Loosen up a bit, you're affecting my game." Seeing no reaction, she pulled back the covers and saw that she was already asleep. Does she really fall asleep that fast?

"What's wrong?" Kim Jennie asked curiously, seeing her astonished expression.

"She's already asleep. How tired is she?"

Kim Jennie remembered her hard work during this period; it seemed she hadn't really had a good night's sleep.

"Shh! Don't disturb her, let her sleep. She really hasn't slept much lately."

They were also very tired, but it was their first debut, and they were very anxious. Since they couldn't sleep anyway, they just played on their phones to pass the time.

Xu Zhiyou slept until broad daylight. When she opened her eyes and saw Kim Ji-soo still playing games, she was truly amazed.

"What are you looking at? If you're awake, hurry up and get up. You hugged me all night and almost broke my old back."

Seeing their heavy dark circles, "Did you two not sleep all night?"

"Couldn't sleep, who could have the mind to!" Even talking came with a yawn. How could their bodies handle this? The training volume these past two days has been very high.

She got up and gave her a hand chop to the back. Compared to psychological counseling to help them sleep peacefully, physical therapy was more effective.

After knocking Kim Ji-soo out and laying her flat, she went to Kim Jennie's side, scaring her into stuttering.

"You, you, you, what are you going to do? I'm telling, telling you, I, I'm your Unnie, you don't..."

Another hand chop knocked her out. After laying her flat and covering her with the blanket, she muttered, "So much nonsense!"

She didn't want to do this either, but the combination of anxiety and fatigue meant a high risk of sudden death.

Returning to their room, she saw the two of them also with heavy dark circles, still scrolling through their phones. How excited must they be to stay awake?

Lisa, with her sharp tongue, saw her and said sarcastically, "Aigoo! Isn't this the person who disliked us? Why did she come back?"

"This is my room too. Stop being sarcastic, or do you want a big slap?"

"Tch! You're just relying on your high combat power to show off. If only..."

Xu Zhiyou, seizing her inattention, backhanded her, "You're the one who talks too much. Go to sleep properly!"

Park Chaeyoung saw it clearly. She really hit hard! The person was knocked out. Was it really necessary? Being complained about a bit wouldn't kill her.

Just as she was secretly congratulating herself that Lisa had complained first, she saw Xu Zhiyou walking towards her, which made her shiver, "Yah! I didn't say anything, did I? What are you going to do!"

"To give you a good night's sleep. Look at your dark circles."

Park Chaeyoung saw the unconscious Lisa, her mouth twitching slightly, thinking, *Is this your reason for hitting people? That's really shameless!*

"No need, I'll sleep on my own. Don't come near me."

"Be good! It'll be quick."

Seeing Xu Zhiyou approaching her with a smile, like a demon walking towards her, she couldn't win, she really couldn't win. She had to run, yes, run quickly.

"Yah!"

"Yah, your big head, ghost."

The moment Park Chaeyoung tried to get up, she quickly gave her a hit. It was also fortunate that she hadn't slept all night.

Otherwise, with her large physique and strong defensive awareness, it wouldn't have been so easy to deal with her.

After laying Park Chaeyoung flat, she came out of the room and suddenly felt some regret. Why hadn't she thought of this last night? What a miscalculation!

After breakfast, she checked the data. They had climbed to first on the weekly chart, and were also in the top forty on iTunes album charts in 14 overseas countries.

After checking, she casually tossed her phone aside. She couldn't practice today. There were still five days until the stage premiere, which was enough time. There was no need to risk her life.

Bona, resting in the practice room, was checking their comeback's music chart performance. Cosmic Girls was also in their comeback period, having debuted over half a year ago and gained some popularity.

Especially Cheng Xiao, who truly became famous based on her looks, accumulating many fans purely on her face before officially debuting.

Bona was quite satisfied with their music data rankings and curiously checked who was in the top ten. She immediately saw BLACKPINK in first and second place.

She checked other charts and was a bit stunned. How could this be so outrageous? This was a rookie group.

She pulled Cheng Xiao, who was resting against her, "Xiao Xiao, look quickly, that Zoe from your country!"
