A few days ago, the staff mentioned that the gifts sent by fans would be delivered to everyone in the near future. This would be a little sweetness in the difficult days of the second public performance. It would also allow the trainees to see the fans' love and work harder.

"Luo Shixi, these are yours."

Luo Shixi took a large cardboard box from the staff and held it in his arms: "Thank you."

He weighed the object in his hand and it was definitely not light.

Thinking that the box was full of gifts from his fans, he couldn't help but feel filled with joy and anticipation.

"Is this yours?" Bai Jingzhou, who was opening presents in the living room, saw it and asked him with a smile.

"Yes, do you have a knife?"

"It seems that Liang Yulan has another one."

After hearing what Bai Jingzhou said, Luo Shixi went to look for Liang Yulan, but he did not see him in the dormitory. He only saw an opened brown paper bag on his desk with a utility knife on it.

Luo Shixi just glanced at the brown paper bag, then took the knife and left without any interest.

The fans really understand him, and the gifts they give him are all what Luo Shixi likes.

He first took out a DIY photo album. When he opened it, it was full of his photos, some on stage and some in his daily life. The person who made the album put a lot of effort into it. The photos were all carefully selected high-definition photos from the website, and each one was used as wallpaper and lock screen.

There was an envelope at the end, on which was written a message from the fan, nearly a thousand words long. As Luo Shixi read it, he felt a warm current in his heart.

He raised the envelope and photo album in his hand to the camera and said with a smile: "It must have taken me a lot of time to make these. Thank you. I will keep them well."

Generally, such unboxing shots can be edited as materials or behind-the-scenes footage. No matter what is received, everyone will say a few words to the camera in front of them.

Bai Jingzhou next door received an ancient style CG picture, and after unfolding it, he found that it was actually a fan-made painting created by fans: "What kind of gods are my fans?"

Jiang Yan's fans also understood his personality and sent him some very unique hats, coats, accessories, etc. He chewed gum and happily tried everything he could on himself.

Liang Yulan came back soon, and as soon as he entered the house, he was stopped by Luo Shixi.

"Brother, here's a knife for you," he handed the knife to Liang Yulan, "I just used it. What's wrong with you? You don't look well?"

Liang Yulan said "hmm" and took the knife from Luo Shixi's hand: "I'm fine, don't think too much."

He rubbed Luo Shixi's head, then walked in and continued to open his present.

Luo Shixi looked at his back a few more times and knew that Liang Yulan didn't want to talk for the time being.

As long as he didn't want to talk about something, no matter how others asked, it would be useless. Luo Shixi knew this very well, and he looked away worriedly.

Judging from Liang Yulan’s expressions, it’s not a bad thing, but it’s better to ask later.

Most of the gifts were letters written to them. Luo Shixi opened each one and read it carefully, and said thank you several times in front of the camera.

He had no blood relationship with them, let alone a friend or partner, and they were even strangers who had never met each other. But they regarded him as an idol, saying how much they liked him. One high school senior even said that he wanted to be a shining star like him.

It was not until now that he could truly feel that he had so many people who liked and supported him.

When he reached in again, he took out a blue Nintendo game console.

"Game console!" Luo Shixi shouted excitedly.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on him. No, to be more precise, they focused on the game console in his hand.

No boy in his twenties can escape the temptation of game consoles, not even Bai Jingzhou.

Jiang Yan: "Look at how many games there are."

"Oh, okay!" Luo Shixi was about to click it excitedly when he saw the staff member smiling and extending his hand to him.

"What do you mean...?" Luo Shixi asked hesitantly.

"Electronic products will be confiscated, Xiaoxi."

Luo Shixi was incredulous and doubted his life: "Then why did you give it to me?"

All gifts received by the trainees must be screened in advance to avoid any death threats, threatening letters or the like mixed in.

The staff looked at Luo Shixi, whose eyes were gradually losing their luster, and smiled awkwardly: "Maybe it was missed during the inspection."

Which one hurts more: never knowing you have a game console, or finding out you don't deserve it as soon as you get it?

Nonsense, of course it's the latter.

Luo Shixi held back and held back, but still couldn't hold back: "You are not human..."

You guys are such dogs!

But he finally handed over the game console, which was not even warm in his hands. The staff had to pull it out of his hands twice.

This scene was completely recorded faithfully by the camera, especially the hand holding the game console that Luo Shixi struggled and refused to give up, insisting on pulling the game console with the staff.

After opening the gifts, Luo Shixi remembered what he wanted to ask and sat down next to Liang Yulan: "Brother, what happened to you just now?"

Liang Yulan didn't try to fool around this time. Instead, he pushed the brown paper on the table in front of his eyes and said, "Take a look."

When Luo Shixi looked at it just now, the brown paper bag was still empty. It was probably because Liang Yulan stuffed something back in after coming back.

He took out a stack of A4 papers and started flipping through them.

A minute later, he frowned and said solemnly, "Is this true?"

"Yang Dong found out, there won't be any problem."

The acquired Senran Media Company was not large in scale, but it had a dense network of personal connections. After being acquired by them, it became an excellent resource for Liang and Lan to mobilize.

Luo Shixi flipped through a few pages of paper and threw them on the table. He said with a hint of anger: "Brushing tickets? Is he crazy?!"

The information clearly records how Liang Yuan bought tickets through his studio. It clearly records when he started buying tickets and how many tickets he bought in total. Liang Yuan used this method to rank 25th.

In the next step, he may be bolder and continue to move up the rankings, creating an illusion of a "counterattack" and eventually reaching the debut position.

This is not without basis. In the second transaction between Liang Yuan and the studio, the transaction amount was significantly larger.

Liang Yulan was also annoyed by such behavior.

Luo Shixi felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about someone else's place being taken in this way.

If I remember correctly, Sang Huaiyan's quota was 26, just one less than Liang Yuan.

He could actually have moved up one spot.

Luo Shixi turned his head and looked at Liang Yulan: "Have you mentioned this to the production team?"

"Yang Dong sent it."

Luo Shixi nodded: "Thank you, Brother Yang."

He knew Yang Dong, after all, he had followed the Liang father and son for many years.

"Then wait for the program team to deal with this matter, don't worry about it, brother." Luo Shixi got angry when he saw the stack of information and simply pushed it away without looking at it.

"Well, do as Xiaoxi said."

Liang Yulan actually didn't tell Luo Shixi something. He was different from Luo Shixi, who would only think of sending it to the program team. But if he were to do it, he would have wanted to directly post the information online, so that Liang Yuan would be scolded and withdraw from the competition.

But thinking that Xiaoxi was still in the show, if the credibility of the program team was reduced because of this incident, it would not be worth it, so they chose a softer approach to deal with Liang Yuan.

But... Liang Yulan lowered his eyes, and there was a look of indifference in his eyes hidden by his long eyelashes.

It would be fine if the program team responded, but if they choose to cover up, don't blame him for being rude.

The popularity of the first public performance is still there. Even those who don't participate in the talent show, as long as they surf the Internet, have more or less seen the trainees' first public performance. Among them, the most watched song is "we can't stop" by Luo Shixi's Group B.

It stands to reason that on a stage, the C position is the most dazzling presence, but Luo Shixi broke this curse. With his extremely brilliant and contrasting dance, he made everyone's attention focused on himself, and they could no longer look away.

All major short video apps are filled with his first public performance video, with the part where he bites his tie being infinitely magnified and slowed down, and the comments are all filled with the words "Luo Shixi debuts".

At the same time, with the increase in popularity and traffic, more and more people have learned about his identity as a college entrance examination candidate and a top student, and jokingly call him a training-based younger brother with "both good looks and handsomeness."

But recently, strange remarks have appeared on the Internet.

The cause was that a student who participated in independent enrollment was exposed for academic fraud. All of his papers were written by ghostwriters and published in heavyweight journals under his own name.

Initially, this incident did not cause much of a stir, but later it was revealed that more than one person did this, and there was a huge industry chain behind it. As a result, this incident became more and more serious.

A netizen commented in reply below and asked casually, "Luo Shixi was also enrolled through independent enrollment. Are his awards and papers credible?"

Naturally, the Milkshake fans did not want outsiders to slander their idols, so they left messages under the comment, asking the other party not to speak nonsense.

As a result, a reply below made things go in an uncontrollable direction.

[Does anyone really believe that high school students can write papers published in national journals these days? Let me tell you, the last time I participated in an admissions interview training organized by an educational institution, I met a popular and familiar face.]

This sentence was too pointed, and it was clearly pointing at Luo Shixi. But someone actually searched for papers signed by "Luo Shixi" and found four or five of them.

This is almost conclusive evidence. Netizens watched as the image of a "nerd" in their minds collapsed and he instantly turned into a despicable and shameless thief who specialized in stealing the fruits of other people's labor. They were all outraged.

"I believed him before!"

"Luo Shixi's character is too bad, can he please get out of the entertainment industry?"

"I wanted to market myself as a top student, but now I failed miserably, right? Yue"

Everyone's emotions were completely aroused, and they cursed very harshly, even using national curses and making direct personal attacks.

Some passers-by frowned after seeing this, thinking it was too much, and couldn't help but feel pity for Luo Shixi who was being scolded.

But after someone finished cursing, they found that something was wrong.

They seemed to be led by the rhythm.

A comment "Luo Shixi get out of the entertainment industry (50 cents, deleted in brackets)" instantly confirmed their guess.

They were used as guns!

"rnm! It turns out that it was the haters who were stirring up trouble. It's really bad luck to eat a fake melon."

"So did Luo Shixi commit academic fraud? I don't understand what's going on now."

"It's fake. They are being used by the other party. There are so many people named Luo Shixi in the world. It's normal for them to publish one or two papers. This is just someone throwing dirty water on Luo Shixi."

"How do you know that it's just to throw dirty water and not to kick someone when he's down? Maybe they just want to step on Luo Shixi because he saw his crime exposed."

"...I won't take sides for now. This melon is not only true but also false. If I don't understand it, it won't taste good."

Everyone on the Internet has their own opinions on whether this incident is true or not. But more people are confused and don't know what the truth is.

He Yu glanced at the computer on the desk. The screen was showing the web version of Weibo. Topics related to Luo Shixi's college entrance examination and academic fraud continued to gain popularity.

He held the phone and listened carefully to the voice on the other end, and finally said: "Okay, I understand, let's continue as planned."
