Dingding's P.O.V.

After I spent about an hour getting my nails done, I left the mall with Rose. Today is one of my days off before all the interviews and concerts really hit. Ruwei is beginning to film today now that we have already been in Guangdong for three days.

"Dingding, tomorrow if your interview with Ruwei, how are you feeling?" She asked once we got back to the arena after dropping my stuff off at my house. You'd be surprised at how many houses Ruwei owns, even I'm surprised.

"A little nervous, but this is something we're gonna have to do sooner or later, plus, it'll really kill a lot of the jealous cells in his body." I laughed. Liam approached me and handed me a bunch of papers. "This is what you're going to be performing in three days."

My eyes popped out of my head, "You want me to sing in Cantonese??" I shrieked, "I know it's gonna be hard, but you just have to memorize the lyrics, and most of them repeat anyways. This concert will bring you a lot of attention since it's not your native language."

"Liam, It's not that easy to just memorize the lyrics, I can't even memorize my own lyrics!" I snapped, "Which is why you still have three days to prepare, good luck!" He said before patting my shoulder and skipping off, leaving my jaw wide open.

"Did no one see that?" I yelled before letting out a very angry sigh and flipping through the papers. I pouted my lips, "Ugh, I really, really don't wanna." I said before throwing the papers away and plopping onto my couch. "Where is Ruwei when you need him?" I heard Rose mumble.

"Ding, here, drink this." She said as she handed me a cup of milk tea. I looked at her oddly, "I know I know, it's abnormal for any of us to give in to your cravings, but this isn't the easiest task for you, so take this as a treat." She said as I took the cup.

"But I don't even know how to speak Cantonese, my pronunciation and everything is all gonna be messed up," I whined. I continued whining for about another two whole hours, I honestly don't know how I'm capable of whining for that long.

In the end, I just plopped myself onto one of the fluffy chairs and began eating my takeout and watching TV on my phone. I could hear Liam and everyone else sighing over and over as they tried to get me to start moving, but they ended up dropping me onto the ground.

"Dingding, you need to get up and get working on your song! Putting it off isn't going to help and you know that!" Liam yelled, but I just continued eating my snacks and laying on the couch. "Liam, Ruwei's here!!" I heard Rose yell as everyone sighed.

Seconds later, Ruwei appeared in front of me. "Ruwei, ever since I told her she would be performing a Cantonese song, she's been like this. A whole day has passed already, and she needs to perform in three days." Liam said as Ruwei nodded.

He knelt down beside the couch and took my hand out of my snack bag, "Honey, you don't have to be scared, I'm sure you can memorize a couple of song lyrics, you love singing, doesn't matter what language, right?" He comforted.

"But Cantonese is so hard, I don't wanna sing it. I didn't even agree to this, Liam just signed me up." I snapped as he took me into his arms, "Ding, come on, I'll help you learn it, okay? But we can't put this off any longer, think about all your fans." I pouted my lips as he helped me sit up.

Liam handed Ruwei the lyrics and he looked over it for a while before turning back to me, "Come on, we'll go over it one line at a time." He sat down next to me and wrapped an arm around me, "I know my wife is the strongest woman I know." He whispered into my ear.

After a couple of more comforting words, I finally began learning the lyrics. Surprisingly it really wasn't that hard, I had the entire song memorized within half an hour. Everyone started cheering and jumping up and down as I was able to recite it again without forgetting a single word.
