After finally dealing with Shen Xingchen, Jian Xingsui noticed that there were two other people in their dormitory. One of them had a cute student haircut and looked very well-behaved and adorable. The other looked very honest and steady. After noticing her probing gaze, he simply nodded indifferently and said, "Hello, Ning Ze."

The cute-looking student leader came over and greeted us warmly: "Hello, I'm Wen Shengge."

Jian Xingsui also extended her hand to greet them: "Hello, Jian Xingsui."

The three of them got along fairly well in the dormitory, except for Shen Xingchen, who acted like an emperor, walking straight to a bed and sitting down, swaggering: "I'm sleeping here, since you guys aren't sleeping here."

"..."

The other reason isn't that they don't sleep, it's that they haven't even made a choice yet.

Only Jian Xingsui knew how domineering and outrageous this young master was, but the other two also witnessed it at this moment. However, Wen Shenge seemed to have expected it and chose another bed. Ning Ze never liked to talk, so he also chose another one. Things that might cause arguments in other dormitories were not a problem in this dormitory.

After the dormitories were selected, the staff said, "Please get ready and head to the recording venue!"

Although Jian Xingsui was the last to choose, while the other dormitories were busily assigning beds and introducing themselves, their dormitory basically didn't need any assignments, and their self-introductions were very short. So, they were actually the first among the group to arrive at the recording site. The production team had put a lot of effort into the recording venue this time, with spotlights flashing in the huge space. Since Jian Xingsui's group was the first to enter, they were naturally noticed by the viewers in the live broadcast room.

"It's him, it's that guy with the buzz cut."

"There was also a hedgehog-headed guy in a leather jacket next to him."

"Wow, this group looks like gangsters collecting protection money."

"Hahaha, that's hilarious!"

Because Shen Xingchen was walking at the very front, followed by Jian Xingsui and Ning Ze, a few honest men, Shen Xingchen, who was at the very front, looked extremely arrogant. He had the aura of a big brother, just like a big brother leading his underlings on the street. As a result, many viewers were amused and, by some strange coincidence, remembered a few of their names.

Then, most of the contestants entered the arena one by one.

Shen Xingchen sat next to Jian Xingsui, watching the contestants enter. He was even able to recognize which company half of them came from, and he would whisper to Jian Xingsui:

"I've seen this guy before. He was seen shopping with his girlfriend just two weeks ago, and now he's on stage saying he's been single for twenty years."

"Did you see that guy? I'll tell you a secret, he has a sugar daddy, and two of them."

"What's wrong with that person's eyes? Do you believe they've definitely had plastic surgery?"

Jian Xingsui, sitting next to him, felt extremely uncomfortable and could only awkwardly explain, "I believe you."

Shen Xingchen chuckled, and quite loudly at that.

The two Shen Xingchens were under contract to receive special treatment and more screen time, given the Shen family's wealth and influence. However, if they were to give Shen Xingchen screen time, Jian Xingsui couldn't be overlooked either. Unfortunately, these two insisted on saying things the audience shouldn't hear, making the cameraman very anxious. He could only keep using long shots, so from a distance, the audience always saw the two of them huddled together whispering, which ironically created a very good effect.

"Holy crap, what are they talking about?"

"I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious! I want to hear it too!"

"What are you doing, cameraman? Can you come closer?"

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I couldn't help it, I just kept wanting to watch them, to know what they were saying."

It's unclear whether the two who have become the focus of everyone's attention are still doing things their own way. While other contestants try to be funny and compete for screen time, Shen Xingchen keeps complaining like a gossip, and Jian Xingsui becomes his chatterbox.

Fortunately, it was soon time for the mentors to enter. The spotlights shone brightly, the warm-up music started and ignited the atmosphere, the stage lift rose, and the four mentors of the show appeared together in a cloud of mist and cheers. Tuya, wearing a hot little dress, danced in the center of the stage, accompanied by a man in a cool punk style. Another man in a red leather jacket sang in the center of the stage. Then came the most important focus of the entire show: a man in a black tuxedo sat next to a beautiful white piano, with Fu Jinxiao playing the piano as accompaniment.

The cheers were so loud they seemed to lift the roof off.

These are people who used to only be seen on TV, especially Fu Jinxiao, who is the pinnacle of the entertainment industry. And now, such a group of big names are right here in front of them!

Not only were these people excited, but Jian Xingsui was also thrilled. His heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. He couldn't take his eyes off the people on the stage for a moment. Although everyone was dazzling, his gaze could only linger on the tall, upright man who played the piano with ease. Even on such a lively and noisy stage, he had a composed aura, attracting attention like a truly elegant prince. This really was Fu Jinxiao, his idol. They were really so close.

Shen Xingchen's rambling voice could be heard beside me:

"Tuya's outfit today, her agent must have messed her up again."

"Wow, Shuang Ge's earrings are a limited edition. It's not easy for him to be a mentor."

"Wow, Mr. Li's dance today, I bet he only practiced for two days, do you believe me?"

Shen Xingchen, who was standing next to him, had been talking the whole time. He liked to complain and he wasn't afraid of offending people, so he always spoke the truth. Others only dared to boast, but he dared to tell the truth. However, when it came to complaining about Fu Jinxiao, he shut up.

Jian Xingsui finally snapped out of her daze, reluctantly averting her gaze from her idol, and asked, "Why did you stop talking about Actor Fu when we started talking about him?"

Shen Xingchen curled his lips. This was the first time Jian Xingsui had shown a somewhat awe-inspiring expression when looking at the arrogant young master. He glanced at the camera, which wasn't on their side, and leaned close to Jian Xingsui, whispering, "I have a piece of advice for you. Remember this, it will never be wrong."

Jian Xingsui: "What?"

Shen Xingchen looked shaken: "Fu Jinxiao is not someone you should mess with."

Jian Xingsui said, "Huh?"

"You absolutely must keep your tail between your legs in front of him, or you'll truly suffer a fate worse than death." Shen Xingchen seemed to recall something and muttered, "Don't be fooled by his current refined and polite appearance. He's incredibly vengeful and full of bad intentions. Sometimes you won't even know how you're going to get yourself killed..."

The sound from the stage was very loud, and Jian Xingsui didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Shen Xingchen looked down at the audience. Fu Jinxiao, who seemed to be playing the piano, glanced at them intentionally or unintentionally. That one glance was enough to intimidate the arrogant young man. Shen Xingchen almost shook his head and said, "Nothing, nothing."

Jian Xingsui asked in confusion, "Huh?"

Shen Xingchen didn't know why, but he always felt that Fu Jinxiao's glance at him just now contained a hidden threat. Many people would be captivated by Fu Yingdi's phoenix eyes, which seemed to be full of affection once he was looked at, but only a few people who knew him knew that these eyes were like a gift from God, perfectly concealing the coldness and ruthlessness in those affectionate eyes.

Although Fu Yingdi was still smiling politely in front of the camera, Shen Xingchen felt something was off for some reason. It was as if, even though he was far away and didn't know what she was saying, he could guess that she and Jian Xingsui were whispering something unpleasant.

So, just like a small animal's innate sense of danger, Shen Xingchen had a premonition that if she really said something bad to Jian Xingsui today, things would be very bad later. She forcibly changed the subject and awkwardly laughed: "What I mean is, Brother Fu is really a good person. You'll know that later."

Author's Note:

Shen Xingchen: "My biggest wish in this life is to stay away from this dangerous old fox."

Fu Jinxiao smiled: "We're family now, why are you still calling me that so formally?"
