Chapter 72 Durian Cake Luo Shixi's Finals

There is one day left until the final.

Everyone on the Internet is paying attention to the finals of "Idol Creation". The topic has been heated up, with tens of thousands of discussions every day. The three-month tug-of-war has reached the most critical moment, and both the trainees and their fans have begun the final sprint.

The sunlight outside the window is dazzling, and the air conditioner inside is humming and emitting cold air, but it can't dispel the heat at this time.

Luo Shixi reviewed his movements in front of the mirror, making sure that no matter how many times he did it, each time would be as precise as if he had copied and pasted it.

Sweat flowed down his jawline to his collar, soaking that area and turning it dark. Luo Shixi looked like he had been fished out of water.

Raise your hand again, bring the dancing of the electric current to the end of your fingers, turn around, point your fingers downward, and take a step...

After Luo Shixi adjusted his posture again, he exhaled deeply. He put a small yellow hairpin borrowed from Bai Jingzhou in his mouth, and casually lifted up all the bangs in front of his forehead, pinning them with the hairpin, revealing his smooth forehead.

It might seem a bit weird for others to do this, but after Luo Shixi pinned his bangs up, he looked cute.

Shan Shian handed him a bottle of water and said, "Take a break before practicing again."

He sat down next to Luo Shixi and got himself a bottle of water.

Luo Shixi said "hmm", unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back and drank it, trying to cool himself down.

Shan Shian was in the same group as him, and he looked at Luo Shixi's full face. Even though his face was flushed due to the heat, he could see the fatigue and paleness in Luo Shixi's eyes.

Luo Shixi watched the vcr yesterday and went back to practice. He had hypoglycemia again in the evening. His legs were so weak that he couldn't stand, so he had to go back and rest for a night. As a result, it came again early this morning.

"Have a good rest tonight." Shan Shian screwed the bottle cap on, stood up, and looked down at Luo Shixi lying on the ground.

Luo Shixi put the cool mineral water bottle against his face, but the coolness soon dissipated.

He still coveted the coolness and was unwilling to take the water bottle. He looked up at Shan Shian and said, "I guess I won't be able to sleep tonight."

How many people can really fall asleep?

I'm afraid not.

Luo Shixi rested on the ground for a few minutes, and got up again when he felt he had almost recovered.

"I'll practice a little more. I'll be on stage tomorrow, so I hope nothing unexpected happens." Luo Shixi didn't dare to take it lightly when he thought about the accidents that had happened to him every time he performed on stage before.

When Sun Luo came in from the front door, he heard these words and quickly said “Pooh, pooh, pooh”.

"Children's words are not to be feared, children's words are not to be feared. Xiaoxi, please don't say that. Our ancestors are most afraid of their words coming true."

Luo Shixi looked at Sun Luo speechlessly, too lazy to correct him whether it was "childish talk" or not.

He continued his practice.

The chorus of this song has three rising notes, which is difficult to sing normally, let alone singing and dancing at the same time. Not to mention being unfamiliar with the lyrics and dance, even if one's physical fitness is a little poor, it is impossible to complete such a high-intensity song.

Luo Shixi was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it well, so he could only practice over and over again.

People came and went in the practice room, but Luo Shixi was not affected at all. He sat in a corner practicing in front of the mirror.

By the time I finally felt tired, it was already dark.

Luo Shixi looked at the moonlight outside the window, stretched himself, and his bones crackled.

He stretched his sore arms and touched his stomach, "It's time to eat."

Logically speaking, there should be no food in the cafeteria at this point, but recently everyone's schedules have been disrupted and their diets have been irregular, and the program crew couldn't persuade them to stop. Finally, they had to let the cafeteria supply meals 24 hours a day, so that at least these children wouldn't have to eat cold rice and leftovers.

In order to ensure adequate nutrition, the program team hired a nutritionist to ensure that they have a balanced diet, starting with the meals.

When Luo Shixi finished his meal and returned to the practice room, there were still five people inside.

After greeting a few people, Luo Shixi walked to the side, jumped onto the cabinet with his hands, watched everyone practicing in the classroom, hummed a tune softly, turned on the power saving mode, and moved his hands and feet slightly to the music, as if he was digesting his food.

The five people were all from Luo Shixi's team. After he felt he had almost digested it, he jumped down and practiced with everyone else for several hours.

In the end, no one could dance anymore and everyone collapsed on the floor due to exhaustion.

Luo Shixi was lying on the floor in a "big" shape. The light above his head hurt his eyes. Luo Shixi simply turned over, yawned, squinted his eyes, and was unwilling to get up.

The one named Fu Qing couldn't stand it anymore and pulled his clothes over his face. "I don't care. I can't walk anymore. I'll just sleep here for a while."

"It's your last night and you're going to sleep on this cold floor." another person joked.

Fu Qing stretched out his voice and said weakly: "I'm sleepy, tired, and can't get up. Besides, this is not the first time you spend the night in the practice room. You can lie on the bed if you want in the future, but you can't lie on the floor."

Luo Shixi burst out laughing, thinking that he was just like himself who stayed in bed in the morning and tried hard to find excuses to lie down a little longer.

Someone was persuaded by Fu Qing and actually lay down as well. "That's right. I'll just take a nap in the practice room as a farewell."

"This farewell ceremony is a bit sad."

"I'm used to sleeping on the floor. Will I be unable to sleep on a Simmons bed in the future?"

Everyone laughed and joked, but no one said they wanted to go back to bed.

Who among those who have reached this point has not experienced staying up late all night and sleeping in the practice room?

Each of these identical practice rooms has witnessed their growth and every day and night from giving up to persisting.

It can be said that they have the most unforgettable memories of the practice room.

Luo Shixi covered his eyes with his hands, but the light still shone through his fingers. Someone stood up and turned off the light with a "click".

The practice room fell into darkness.

“Although this ritual feels a bit strange, it’s quite interesting when you think about it.”

"Lie down for three hours. Tomorrow, no, today, we will go to the finals."

Everyone was talking, chatting, and gossiping, saying that they had finally put an end to such days, and that they never wanted to go through it again because it was too painful.

Later, someone started singing their theme song, and everyone followed along in a low voice.

The sound spread to the next classroom where there were people, and everyone started singing along.

The song gradually became a chorus, echoing in the corridors of the Xili Building.

Luo Shixi still had his hands on his eyes.

As he listened to the song, sleepiness filled his eyes, but his thoughts went back to the time when he learned the theme song.

At that time, he was still a nobody, on the edge of the stage, no one paid attention to him, and even he himself didn't care whether he could stay or not. He even didn't practice in order to be eliminated smoothly. He was like a salted fish, fluttering around in the water only occasionally when poked.

At that time, he knew nothing and could do nothing. He was like an ugly duckling that had accidentally entered a swan's nest, out of place and laughable.

By his side were Jiang Yan, Sang Huaiyan, Chen Yiming, and Sang Sang. They would not let him give up, and helped him get up again and again, and persevered until the end.

Later, he really persevered and walked step by step to where he is now...

Someone was talking and mentioned Luo Shixi. They asked him with a smile, "Xiaoxi, do you still remember when you were transferred from Class F to Class B? I thought you were amazing at the time. I am still shocked."

He finished speaking, but no one answered.

"Luo Shixi?" he called again.

Fu Qing yawned, "Maybe he fell asleep. Let's go to sleep and recharge our batteries."

"Go to sleep, it's already past three o'clock."

“Good luck tomorrow!”

"come on!"

The practice room gradually became quiet, and everyone covered themselves with coats and slept on the not-so-soft floor.

I thought I would have a lot of thoughts and wouldn’t be able to sleep, but I didn’t expect that my body would be so tired that I fell into a sweet dream as soon as I closed my eyes.

Luo Shixi did not sleep well. He dreamed of many people and things at night. He woke up before six o'clock when it was just dawn.

He rubbed his head and felt more tired than not sleeping at all. It was as if he was rushing through dreams, one after another.

The practice room was quiet. Luo Shixi sat on the floor for a while, then stood up and went out.

He was alone in the corridor. Looking into the practice room from here, he could see many trainees who had not left yet. They were sleeping on the floor with their coats covering their heads, lying all over the place.

He walked straight to the balcony.

Because it rained a few days ago, some water accumulated in the corners of the semi-open balcony. The areas where the sun shines are fine, but there are still some water stains in areas where the sun doesn't shine.

Luo Shixi leaned on the railing and looked down from here.

The morning light is dim and the clouds are breaking.

The whole city has not yet woken up from its slumber and is a little too quiet.

An advertisement was playing on a large screen in the distance, and a young and beautiful female star was smiling sweetly at the camera.

After taking a few glances, Luo Shixi turned his gaze to the distant horizon.

There were footsteps behind me.

Luo Shixi turned around and said, "Brother He?"

He Yu paused for a moment, then walked up to him. They both looked into the distance, "Why are you here today?"

Luo Shixi said: "I couldn't sleep last night and woke up early. I thought I would go to the balcony to watch the sunrise since I was already awake."

As he spoke, he looked at the sun rising in the distance, dyeing the clouds in varying shades of red.

"This is probably my last time watching the sunrise at Xili Building." Luo Shixi said, and looked at He Yu beside him, "What about you?"

"I'll wake you up." He Yu's expression remained the same, but his voice was hoarse and there was deep fatigue in his eyes.

Luo Shixi: "You didn't sleep all night last night, did you?"

He Yu nodded.

It happened to be the busiest time of his life right now, and the final of this variety show coincided with it. Naturally, he had a lot of things to do, and he had no time to go home last night.

He Yu searched his pockets but found nothing. He frowned slightly and rubbed his right index finger and thumb several times, making his skin red.

Luo Shixi saw his actions and remembered that they had met by chance on the balcony before. He Yu was smoking and looked in a bad mood.

"Are you in a bad mood?" he asked tentatively.

He Yu leaned on the railing and looked at the small model-like city underground. The wind blew his hair, and he reached into his hair to push back the loose hair that was in the way. He said "hmm" nonchalantly, sounding a little absent-minded.

Luo Shixi looked down with him and said, "Then you can't smoke either. Smoking is very harmful. Besides, you're a singer, your voice can't be damaged."

He thought He Yu was addicted to smoking.

In fact, He Yu would only smoke a cigarette to calm his mind when he was extremely upset.

He Yu chuckled, "Then I won't smoke."

Luo Shixi had a long speech to persuade He Yu to quit smoking, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. He was stunned, "Huh?"

He Yu said: "If I remember correctly, you don't like the smell of cigarettes."

Luo Shixi nodded, "I really don't like it."

He Yu said "hmm", turned to look at him, his tired eyes slightly curved, hiding a smile, "If you don't like it, just quit smoking."

"Ah? Oh." Luo Shixi always felt that this was strange.

He Yu raised his chin, put his elbows on the pull rod, and looked far into the east.

"The sun is rising."

The two were silent for a while, watching the sun rise in the east, and the sunlight shone on the world again.

It's a new day again.

"This is my last day in Xili Building," Luo Shixi smiled and looked at everything in front of him, "It ended so quickly. I'm about to go to the finals."

He Yu stood up and looked at Luo Shixi's eyes that were bathed in sunlight. "Come on."

Luo Shixi smiled and hugged him, "Don't worry, boss, I will never embarrass you!"

He Yu was stunned, and his hand hesitated for a long time behind Luo Shixi, and finally patted his back gently, "I'm not afraid of you being embarrassed."

The two people's embrace broke apart immediately.

The sound of people moving around outside was heard, and the building was finally awakened.

Luo Shixi pointed outside and said, "I should go out now. I'll leave soon."

He Yu watched Luo Shixi leave and called him.

"After you formed a group, have you ever thought about..."

Luo Shixi turned around and looked at He Yu in confusion, waiting for him to continue.

But He Yu did not continue speaking.

There was a flicker in his eyes, and finally he calmed down.

He Yuluo Shixi smiled and said, "It's okay, go ahead, I'll wait for your good news."

"good."

He Yu looked at Luo Shixi's back as he walked away.

After forming a group, there won’t be so many restrictions.
