On the night of the first public broadcast, the first stage voting channel was officially closed. The next morning, the trainees were called to the dressing room. Yu Ren also got up early to do his makeup and hair. After all, today was the day to announce the first stage rankings, and the production team attached great importance to it.

Tong Juan's black hair was styled into a slightly curly shape, which made his head look a bit bigger, but it made him look more like a little prince. Pei Siran's style was simpler, and his fluffy black hair was styled into heart-shaped bangs by the stylist, revealing his smooth forehead, making him look even more cool. Tong Juan was very envious watching from the side, wondering when his stylist would be kind enough to give him a style like this.

The production team invited ten stylists at once. In addition, they told the stylists that this was just a normal recording and that the makeup should be fresh and elegant, without the need for overly exaggerated styling. However, even though the requirements were not high, it took nearly three hours to complete the styling of all thirty trainees.

After finishing their styling, the trainees came to the studio and stood there under the arrangement of the staff, waiting for Yu Ren's arrival.

The chairs for people 25-30 on the stage have been removed, and the last chair is numbered 24. Seeing this, the sadness of parting is inexplicably stronger. Although we didn't know each other before recording the show, we have been together for so many days, and there is still some affection between us.

The trainees who knew they were at the bottom were all worried and had no mood to talk. The trainees at higher positions were not the talkative type, so the filming site, which had been noisy and annoying all the time, was unexpectedly quiet.

On Tong Juan's left is Pei Siran, on his right is Zhong Yi and Chu Fangan, behind him are Sun Ledi and Wen Yu, and a few trainees whose names he can't remember but whose faces are familiar. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Although everyone is in a large class, they usually work in groups. Up to now, Tong Juan must have had some trainees he has never spoken to. He is also a little face-blind and not very sensitive to names. Fortunately, Pei Siran is by his side to answer his questions.

Not long after, Yu Ren appeared at the recording site. He was wearing a dark blue suit and looked quite formal. During the recording days, except for the first stage and the first public performance, Yu Ren's appearance was rarely so handsome, so he won the screams of the trainees as soon as he appeared.

"Okay, kids." Yu Ren stopped the call with a smile, "Good morning. The production team has intentionally given you a break during this period. How are you doing?"

The trainees answered at once, some said it was good, while others found it boring.

"No matter how you are doing, it is all in the past. We gathered everyone together today for better development in the future." Yu Ren said, "As you all know, the voting for the first phase of our program has ended. After this voting, the trainees ranked 25-30 will temporarily leave our program."

"Everyone has been working very hard during this period. Some people have been working on the front line despite minor injuries, and some have been practicing in the practice room until midnight. We have seen your efforts. Although some people will leave today, leaving is not a better start."

"Okay, I'll stop talking nonsense here and start announcing the rankings of this vote."

Yu Ren picked up the card and said, "We start from No. 24."

The trainees wailed in various ways, but they all understood that this was an old routine in variety shows, and they would not let them off easily unless they were tossed in the frying pan several times.

Yu Ren read out the names from 24th to 4th. The number of people in the audience became fewer and fewer, and the atmosphere became very depressing.

However, at this point, Yu Ren suddenly changed his mind and said, "Now let's announce the 25th trainee."

Tong Juan couldn't help but take a breath. Is it finally going to begin?

Among the trainees that Tong Juan was familiar with, the only ones left on the stage besides him were Pei Siran and Chu Fangan. He knew in his heart that none of the three of them would be eliminated, so those five people would have to leave.

These five people belonged to a team that Tong Juan was familiar with. There was one named Lu Jingtong, whom he had some impression of. He was the person who fell at the door with Sun Ledi in the same company.

"The 25th trainee received 704,225 votes. He is Lu Jingtong from Huazhong Hanying."

Just one step away.

Everyone feels a little regretful, but there is nothing they can do, reality is just so cruel.

Tong Juan saw that Lu Jingtong seemed somewhat relieved, so he sighed for some reason as well and looked up at Sun Ledi who was sitting in seat 12 on the stage.

Sun Ledi's expression was not very clear, and it seemed that she was trying hard not to cry.

Tong Juan's mood was also somewhat affected, and he began to have wild thoughts. If he was eliminated next time, he would have to stand with the top few and hear his less than ideal ranking, he would have to separate from his good friends, he would have to leave here and fight alone, he would have to repeatedly remind himself that this was not a dream...

He didn't even dare to think about it.

For some reason, he felt sad when he thought about separating from Pei Siran.

It was as if a large part of life was missing, and it became empty. I couldn't get used to it no matter what. Tong Juan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Pei Siran beside him, and saw that he was also looking at him with his head tilted. As if possessed by some magic, he didn't immediately glance away like last time, but smiled at Pei Siran.

Pei Siran thought that Tong Juan would just look at him and turn his head away like last time, but he didn't expect that Tong Juan would smile at him this time, and smile so beautifully. He was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Tong Juan's sparkling lips.

The atmosphere at the scene was originally very depressing. Tong Juan just curled her lips slightly at him, and her beautiful eyes hadn't even completed the crescent shape yet, but Pei Siran already felt relieved.

This world is not static. Some people will leave and some will come, but Tong Juan and Pei Siran are different. They will always stand here shoulder to shoulder and smile at each other in the crowd.

"Now let's announce the third place." Yu Ren said.

Pei Siran and Tong Juan turned back as if waking up from a dream, one looking at the tip of his shoes, and the other looking at the floor tiles reflecting the light.

"The third trainee received 8,457,546 votes. He is Chu Fangan from Yufeng Entertainment. Congratulations."

Tong Juan was stunned. He didn't expect that he was not the third.

"Juanjuan, I didn't expect the competition between us to be so fierce." Pei Siran whispered in Tong Juan's ear.

Although the competition was fierce, Tong Juan did not hear the word fierce in Pei Siran's tone. Instead, it seemed that he was enjoying it.

"Be serious." Tong Juan felt that he really had endless worries. "The rankings are being announced now."

"Contestants, please stop whispering to each other," Yu Ren said helplessly. The other trainees were extremely nervous, but the two of them were quite relaxed. Seeing that Chu Fangan had already reached the third place, he continued, "Now let's announce the second place. This trainee received a total of 9,352,363 votes."

"Congratulations to trainee Pei Siran from Yufeng Entertainment."

"The No. 1 trainee received 10,526,542 votes. Congratulations to the individual trainee Tong Juan."

The first place position is at the highest point on the stage, on the top of the pyramid. After Pei Siran went to the second place position, Tong Juan wanted to go up with him but was stopped by Yu Ren.

"Please ask the No. 1 trainee to give his or her acceptance speech."

Tong Juan's eyes widened slightly. He actually had to give a speech, but he was totally unprepared...

Yu Ren had already stuffed the microphone into his hand, so Tong Juan could only bite the bullet and say, "Thank you very much to all the fans who voted for me. I'm a bit stupid and speak slowly, so I couldn't think of anything to say right now. Thank you everyone, I will try my best not to let you down."

After Tong Juan finished speaking, he returned the microphone to Yu Ren, bowed, and then returned to his seat.

To reach the first place, one has to climb six steps. Tong Juan walked up under everyone’s gaze and sat down on the chair with the crown light flashing.

"The first phase of voting has come to an end. Thank you very much for your continued support. The 30 trainees and I would like to express our gratitude to everyone in front of the screen." Yu Ren said with a smile, "Please continue to support us in the future."

…

The six eliminated trainees left in the morning. There were still more than 20 people left, but everyone felt that the place was a lot emptier.

When I saw the six people off, it was snowing outside. Large flakes of snow were falling from the sky, as if drawing an invisible curtain for today's farewell.

From then on, some people were separated not only by the snow, but also by half of China.

"Are you cold?" Pei Siran walked beside Tong Juan, his arm resting on Tong Juan's shoulder, completing today's intimate duties.

Tong Juan shook his head. Who would have thought that in just over a month in City B he had already gotten used to the cold of more than ten degrees below zero, and even successfully challenged ice and snow sports such as snowball fights and skiing.

"What are you talking about? You two are like conjoined twins. Even a force eight wind can't blow you apart. How can you still feel cold?" Zhong Yi curled his lips. "We are the ones who should be cold."

Wen Yu suddenly jumped onto Zhong Yi, who hurriedly grabbed his legs to prevent him from falling, cursing: "Are you sick?"

"It won't be cold now!"

"I think you are looking for death. Do you believe that I will let you experience the joy of wrestling?"

The two men wrestled in the snow.

Sun Ledi laughed and slapped his thigh: "You two are crazy!"

Tong Juan was watching them quarreling from the side, and suddenly he wasn't so unhappy anymore. The people around him were still there, so there was nothing to be upset about.

Perhaps in order to improve the desolate atmosphere as the trainees left, the program team did not rush the trainees to choose their groups for the second public performance, but instead let them go to the cafeteria first.

"Today is actually the Lunar New Year's Eve. We are recording in City B, so we celebrated it as in the north. The trainees who left can go home and have a good New Year, but we still have to keep working hard." The director said, "Although we can't go home for the New Year, we have to create the right atmosphere."

"Today's task is to make dumplings. We won't arrange for the canteen to prepare lunch. Everyone can just eat the dumplings they made."

Tong Juan: “…”

It’s over. Although it’s good that he doesn’t need to practice, he will starve to death if he doesn’t know how to make dumplings.
