[Main story completed, extras updated daily~]
Journalism student Yi Jingchen was bound to an unethical system that forced him to participate in an idol survival show to debut as the center.
Selling homosexuality
At dawn, the sky was dim.
The production team of "Super Idol" woke the trainees up from their dreams early and announced that the recording of the first stage on the second day would be advanced.
Yi Jingchen simply washed up, changed into thick and warm clothes, and went to the cafeteria of the recording base to have breakfast.
He didn't spend time doing his makeup and hair, thinking he had arrived early.
But as soon as I stepped into the cafeteria, I saw many idols with full makeup and hair style pretending to be natural, rubbing their eyes in the air in front of the camera.
Trainee A: "Oops, I was in such a hurry to get up this morning that I forgot to put on makeup."
Trainee B: "Don't look at me, I'm so ugly without makeup~"
Yi Jingchen: “…”
[Is the makeup on your face welded to your face since you were born?]
Yi Jingchen, who was truly without makeup and had no anxiety about his appearance, was suddenly a little depressed by this group of brothers who were so delicate from hair to toes.
He avoided the group of male peacocks competing to spread their feathers and quietly chose a position in the corner at the edge of the camera.
He sat against the wall, drinking soy milk while observing the other trainees.
We recorded for a whole day yesterday, and everyone sat in their respective positions in the pyramid in an orderly manner, so there was not much opportunity to spend time together.
Gathering together for breakfast today, the trainees finally had the opportunity to show their 'daily' side, and they all seized the opportunity to develop their storylines.
Yi Jingchen knew that for idols and even the entire entertainment industry, "CP promotion" was an important part of idol business.
Especially in talent shows, CP is definitely the code to wealth.
There are even economic companies that offer special gay classes to teach aspiring idols how to create couples.
Before participating in the talent show, Yi Jingchen was mentally prepared for the phenomenon of "boy groups selling homosexuality".
But Yi Jingchen didn't expect that the popularity of "Super Idol" would far exceed his expectations.
[It’s okay to say dirty words and call me baby…]
[I can tolerate hugs on the shoulders and waist.]
[But isn't it a bit too much to use each other's utensils to feed each other breakfast?]
[Helicobacter pylori warning!]
As soon as the professional term 'Helicobacter pylori' came out, the charming atmosphere completely disappeared.
The couple who fed each other breakfast looked at each other and silently used their own cutlery.
The first stage was recorded for only one day, but looking around, we can pick out at least 20 pairs of CPs.
[If there are uninformed viewers, they will probably think they have accidentally walked into a large-scale dating variety show——]
[Super Idol's final battle on the top of Kongtong Mountain.]
“Puff…”
There was a sound of soy milk spraying next to me.
Yi Jingchen's complaints are so vicious that it's hard not to laugh.
Most of the trainees who can start to hype up their CPs on the first stage were arranged by the company before the competition, such as He Yin and Zhong Zihan who were sent to the bridal chamber last night.
As for the rest, it’s not that the company has no arrangements, but their connections are limited and they haven’t found a suitable “original wife”, so they are rushing to look for one.
All 'single' trainees are their hunting targets.
Yi Jingchen, who had a stunning opening on the first stage and revealed a series of big scandals, is currently very popular among the audience. Naturally, he cannot escape this wave of screening.
However, several people approached Yi Jingchen on their own initiative, but after just a few words, they left in shame.
Yi Jingchen has never taken a gay class and has no interest in interactions that go beyond the boundaries.
Whenever someone posts to me, I won’t say more than three sentences until the other person feels embarrassed.
In a blink of an eye, the seat next to him was empty and no one dared to come over.
Yi Jingchen felt relaxed and enjoyed his breakfast slowly.
He lowered his head and took a bite of the lava egg yolk bun, when suddenly a sharp explosion sounded in his ears.
"Host! There's a melon!!!"
The Guagua system excitedly shouted, "I can feel that some of these couples are actually dating!"
Really, talking!
Yi Jingchen smelled the fragrance of the new melon and immediately raised his head.
Trying to find the real couple among the vast number of CPs.
The Guagua system also became excited and looked around, "Who is it?"
Unfortunately, his "gay radar" is not as effective as his "melon radar".
They stared intently for a long time but found no suspicious targets. Instead, they attracted people they didn't want to see one after another.
Li Jibai held the dinner tray, fixed his eyes on the corner, and walked straight to Yi Jingchen.
"Hello," Li Jibai took the initiative to greet him, "Senior Cat."
"..." Yi Jingchen was strangely silent for three seconds.
[Okay, he guessed it!]
[Cat sighs.jpg]
When he said this name, Li Jibai pursed his lips subconsciously.
"I was planning to call you Senior Yi, why…"
"Shh!" Yi Jingchen quickly raised his finger and pressed it to his lips, giving him a look, "Change to the encrypted language."
Li Jibai immediately understood and asked quietly, "English?"
"It's too popular and easy to decipher."
Li Jibai: "Korean?"
Yi Jingchen motioned him to look to the side, pointing at them one by one, "That one, that one, and the one behind you, they are all trainees going to Korea for training."
Li Jibai was silent for a few seconds, then said, "German. I don't know any other languages."
"Okay, let's speak German then." Yi Jingchen often goes abroad for interviews and knows some mainstream languages in the world. He quickly switched to encrypted language to communicate with Li Jibai.
In the live broadcast room of "Super Idol", in public places such as the cafeteria, the camera used is a panoramic camera.
If the audience is interested in certain trainees, they can open VIP and get the privilege of "zooming in on a specific area".
After two satisfying melon-eating sessions yesterday, a small number of viewers have developed the good habit of "eating melons with Yi Jingchen".
I specially opened a membership for Gua Wang and enlarged the picture of Yi Jingchen separately.
The King of Melons is worthy of being the King of Melons, and he will not let any membership fee go to waste.
During the time it took to eat, he chased away three contestants who were trying to get close to him and try to get close to him, as well as five contestants who were eager to try, which made the audience exclaim in excitement.
Seeing Li Jibai walking towards Yi Jingchen from afar, everyone originally thought that he was another person attracted by Yi Jingchen's pure appearance (the top position in the CP) and trying to make a scene (the bottom position in the CP).
But who would have thought that after Li Jibai sat down, the two of them started chattering after just a few words.
[Encrypted conversation? Where is my royal translator?]
[They spoke too fast, and the live broadcast from Yuanjing was unclear, which made German majors feel overwhelmed.]
[King Melon is being so formal, huh? Is there anything we can't listen to?]
[Wait! Yi Jingchen and Li Jibai are both top students at A University. Could it be that they knew each other before?]
[I don't know. All I know is that the handsome man from the arts and science department at University A is in an epic photo together! The school forum is going to explode!]
Li Jibai switched to German and greeted Yi Jingchen again, "Excuse me for disturbing you, Cat...err...Senior Yi?"
Seeing him struggling, Yi Jingchen reminded him, "Um, just call me by my name, Yi Jingchen."
"Okay, Yi Jingchen." Li Jibai cooperated by calling out his name, muttering, "Your real name is Yi Jingchen, why is your nickname Cat?"
"There's actually no particular reason for my circle name." Yi Jingchen put down his chopsticks and said to him calmly, "Now that your question has been answered, is it my turn to ask?"
Li Jibai: "Senior, please ask."
"How do you know I'm a cat?"
Yi Jingchen's cosplayer career was full of fear and trepidation. He made sure that he did not leave any clues and that his identity would not be exposed by those around him.
When Li Jibai heard the question, he appeared calm on the surface, but he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.
"It's like this. Cat God has been in the online world for ten years, and I've been a cat believer for nine. The year I missed out on was because I was preparing for the transition from primary school to junior high school, and I didn't have the opportunity to use the internet. I deeply regret this."
Yi Jingchen: “…”
That's enough.
I know that my target audience is elementary school students.
"I've reviewed every character Cat God has played countless times. Even though Cat God rarely shows his face, he's always retouched with makeup. I can still basically restore his original appearance by comparing his face vertically and horizontally."
Yi Jingchen was silent, a suffocating silence.
You Cat Cult followers are too paranoid. He is a little worried about his personal safety.
"I was just skeptical at first, but when you sang, I was completely convinced."
Li Jibai confidently concluded, "Only with my amazing support can one sing such a dream-filled song."
"Okay, okay, I get it..." Yi Jingchen knew he couldn't pretend any longer and was forced to admit his identity. He asked Li Jibai what he planned to do next.
Journalists whose duty is to expose the truth have no right to ask others to keep it secret.
If Li Jibai intends to reveal his identity in the show or video, Yi Jingchen has nothing to say.
If you walk on the road often, you will get your feet wet.
[well……]
[I always write about others in the news, and finally, it’s my turn to be the protagonist of the news.]
Yi Jingchen naturally thought that Li Jibai would share it with other cat believers.
Unexpectedly, Li Jibai's expression was serious and earnest, and he gave an incredible answer.
“Of course, I’m working hard to achieve my ultimate dream.”
Yi Jingchen was shocked by his second-year spirit, "Wait, what ultimate dream?"
Li Jibai announced, "Become my highly recommended teammate, become idols together, and revolutionize the boy band."
“…”
Yi Jingchen was speechless.
"Junior, wake up!"
"We two have nothing but brains, but our professional skills are a mess, and we are useless at singing and dancing."
"Where do you get your confidence from?!"
Yi Jingchen blurted out a long paragraph of complaints and held his forehead weakly.
The other party is the right protector of the Cat Cult. He must think that the "cat" has no ambition and his personality is shattered.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yi Jingchen thought in frustration.
In reality, he has long become an adult without dreams.
Unexpectedly, after listening to his complaints, the longing in Li Jibai's eyes became even clearer.
"Thank you for your concern, Cat God. I will consider it carefully."
"You are worthy of being my top recommendation. You are also very gentle in the three-dimensional world." Li Jibai bowed to him, picked up the plate, and left with satisfaction.
Only Yi Jingchen was left sitting there, questioning the system whether he was being punished.
"Quack, is he really going to debut with me?"
"Phuket~" Guagua tried to get away with it, "The mission I received is only for the host to debut in the center position. As for your teammates who debuted with you... Host, please accept the reality~"
"Ah——" Yi Jingchen wailed.
.
Just after seven o'clock, a cold wind was blowing outside. The trainees once again braved the cold wind and sat on the crystal clear ice throne.
The staff removed one of the mentor seats overnight to erase all traces of Kwon Eun-woo.
The three mentors took their seats one by one and invited the first group of trainees to come on stage.
As soon as their names appeared on the main screen, a high-pitched explosion sounded in Yi Jingchen's mind.
"Melon! There's a melon!"
"Host! Hurry and dig out the melon!"
"Be quiet, and stop looking like you've never seen a big melon before." Yi Jingchen rubbed his ears and lowered his eyes to look at the main stage. He happened to meet the eyes of Ye Xuan, who was standing in the center, and read his exploding heart.
[Woc? !!!]
Yi Jingchen showed an expression of having never seen the world, and his worldview collapsed instantly
[Ye Xuan is actually pregnant!]
[Isn’t “Super Idol” a boy group audition? ! ! !]
