"I’m sorry!" After turning off her cellphone, Luo Xiaoqian turned to walk to the wall.
"Luo Xiaoqian, not there, up there!" one of Shen Xinyi’s followers reminded her with a sneer.
Luo Xiaoqian turned her head and noticed for the first time that on the western side of the wall there was a ledge about one meter above the ground and roughly ten centimeters wide, with the words "Punishment Stand" next to it.
Helplessly, Luo Xiaoqian carefully climbed up, but before she could steady herself, she had already fallen off.
Such a narrow ledge was naturally a significant challenge for someone like her who had never had professional training and was inherently uncoordinated.
Shen Xinyi and the others burst out laughing, and although Xu Xia felt sorry for her, she was also helpless.
"Let’s continue!" Tong Ya clapped her hands and turned on the sound system with a remote, "Now, follow the music, UP... DOWN... Very good..."
Luo Xiaoqian climbed onto the ledge again, her back against the wall, and steadied herself.
To stand firm on a ledge not even ten centimeters wide, one’s entire body could not relax at all; relaxing just a little bit would result in falling off.
This kind of punishment stand was absolutely perverse.
An hour later, when the other trainees got a five-minute break, Xu Xia immediately rushed over and helped Luo Xiaoqian, who was stiff all over from standing, down from the ledge.
"Are you okay? I’m sorry, I forgot to remind you!" Xu Xia said cautiously into her ear, "This Tong Ya is a notorious iron lady. She’s well-known in the scene. It’s not that she’s deliberately targeting you. In the future, try your best not to provoke her!"
Luo Xiaoqian nodded slightly, but inside she was secretly lamenting.
She didn’t have many friends in Beijing, and the few who knew her phone number were pretty much limited to Xu Xia and the others.
The most Tong Ya could do to punish her was to make her stand; the call earlier was very likely from Ye Zimo, and just thinking about how he’d reacted to her hanging up filled her with a tingling fear.
