Chapter 7

According to the performance order, they have to choose their positions again.

Lin Qingyi and Tan Xiaoran were once again thankful that they were in the middle so that it was easier for them to choose their position.

only……

Lin Qingyi looked at Ning Cong'an with some heartache. If no one was willing to sit on the first throne, it would definitely fall on this poor man in the end.

Ning Cong'an was a little confused by her look, but his face remained expressionless.

It was quite quick to choose a seat, and soon it was their turn.

Lin Qingyi and Tan Xiaoran chose a seat in the middle and sat down with peace of mind.

The numbers passed one by one, and just when Lin Qingyi thought that Ning Cong'an was really going to sit on the No. 1 throne, a girl suddenly came over.

She didn't even blink and walked straight towards the number 1 position.

Lin Qingyi was a little surprised, and Tan Xiaoran beside her poked her at this time.

"This is my roommate."

Lin Qingyi was even more surprised and a little curious about who Tan Xiaoran's roommates were.

But there were so many people here now that it was inconvenient for Tan Xiaoran to point them out to her one by one, so she decided to wait until the first stage started before telling Lin Qingyi.

The instructors below were enjoying the fun, and when they saw someone take the first seat, they said, "No. 1 is up for grabs. You guys decide on a challenge, and the winner gets to keep that seat."

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere was instantly filled with tension.

But everyone was just envious, and no one really went up to compete with her for the number one position.

Finally, there was only one seat left, number 2. Ning Cong'an still had no expression and sat down calmly.

Ever since she knew that Ning Cong'an was their senior sister, Tan Xiaoran still paid some attention to her. Now seeing her expression, she couldn't help but admire her and said, "This mentality."

Lin Qing had seen her like this before, and now he just thought it was normal.

After all the members were seated, the long table and wall in the middle of the stage were removed.

The lights start coming on from position 1.

Layer by layer, until the stage.

The mentors walked out from behind the stage.

Cheers rang out at the scene and everyone was very considerate. Lin Qingyi looked at Tan Xiaoran beside him cheering and shouted twice too.

Then Tan Xiaoran came over and whispered to her, "If you speak, the director will give you the camera. Let's say more compliments and see if we can get a few shots."

Tao Ruiyun, standing in the middle, smiled and gestured downward with her hand. After the crowd quieted down, she slowly spoke, "Hello, trainees! We've just introduced ourselves, and as you can see, there are 96 of us, with a total of 7 debut spots."

As she finished speaking, seven more rays of light appeared in those seven positions. Lin Qingyi looked at Ning Cong'an. Her face was still beautiful even under the conditions of top light.

Everyone followed the light and looked at the seven contestants who had just sat in the seats. Some were confident, some were embarrassed, and some had expressionless faces.

Tao Ruiyun then continued, "Does everyone want those seven spots? We'll see in three months."

"Now, the initial stage assessment officially begins."

Seven chairs were raised just below the stage, and the mentors sat down in order. The members below also began to get nervous, with small voices rising and falling.

They were all worried about being the first.

Lin Qingyi's palms were sweating unconsciously.

Soon, a small screen above the big screen lit up.

The names of the members scrolled one by one. Those were the names of the 96 members present.

Lin Qingyi is now just glad that there are only two people in their team, and the probability is still very small.

Bar……

The moment Lin Qing saw his name frozen at the top of the screen, he felt like his breathing stopped.

Tan Xiaoran beside him was also dead silent.

The voices around were a mixture of relief and heartache, but mostly of booing.

Zhou Binglu, who was sitting below, couldn't help but smile. She turned around to look up, picked up the microphone and said, "Isn't this our top student group? Congratulations."

Some of the people in front of them knew what it meant, but the contestants who came in after them were all confused.

Lin Qingyi forced a smile and then pulled up Tan Xiaoran. The two looked at each other and saw expressions of despair on each other's faces.

But I can only accept my fate.

The moment he stood on the stage, Lin Qingyi looked down and suddenly felt much better.

Because when I defended my thesis before, it was almost like this.

Whenever Lin Qingyi gets nervous, he imagines that he is not standing on the stage, but on the podium in the classroom.

They had already designed a self-introduction beforehand, but it was actually quite ordinary.

Although nervous, Tan Xiaoran next to him quickly reacted and said, "I'm Rap Xiaoran!"

After hearing this, Lin Qingyi suddenly felt very ashamed, but he still held back and said, "I'm Dancing Xiaoyi."

"We are the chosen team."

After introducing herself, Zhou Binglu nodded and said, "Begin your performance."

The two lined up and the music started.

Lin Qingyi didn't know, but Tan Xiaoran knew very well that the arrangement and lyrics of this song were written by mentor Jin Yan.

As the music started, the instructors all looked at Jin Yan with smiles, and Jin Yan looked at them with smiles.

It begins with a dance.

When the familiar music sounded, Lin Qing got into the mood in an instant.

The practice room mirror was no longer in front of her, so she could only dance according to the feeling she had during her usual practice.

Because Lin Qingyi dances very well, the dance teacher in the practice room insisted on choreographing a handsome and difficult move for her, saying that it would amaze the audience. So there was a scene where Lin Qingyi flew out from behind after Tan Xiaoran finished singing.

It was said to be flying, but in fact he was jumping down from behind by using Tan Xiaoran's shoulders.

And then...then came Lin Qingyi's soulful singing.

Lin Qingyi clearly saw that as soon as she opened her mouth, a small cut seemed to appear on the faces of all the mentors and contestants present.

Fortunately, there were very few singing parts, and Lin Qingyi finally returned to his comfort zone.

Soon, their first stage performance ended.

Ke Jiyao looked at Lin Qingyi with a smile. Lin Qingyi naturally wanted to be appreciated by the dance teacher, so as soon as the first stage ended, he looked towards the two dance teachers, and happened to meet Ke Jiyao's gaze.

Ke Jiyao smiled and said, "Qingyi, how long have you been learning dance?"

When asked this question, Lin Qingyi was a little choked up. After thinking for a long time, she said, "I haven't formally learned it yet."

When she said this, the instructors present all showed expressions of surprise, while the members looked incredulous.

Lin Qingyi was a little worried because she came to the show without any dance training. She was worried that the instructors and members would think she was just there for fun.

The instructor below was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's start the grading now."

Lin Qingyi and Tan Xiaoran didn't expect it to be so sudden, and they couldn't help but become nervous.

The mentors below were discussing in low voices with their boards in hand. The results actually came out not long after, but the two people on the stage felt like a year had passed.

Instructor Zhong Conglu held the board and said with a smile, "Contestant Lin Qingyi's evaluation grade is B, and contestant Tan Xiaoran's evaluation grade is also B."

"Actually, your teachers gave you A's in rap and dance, but our two vocal teachers could only give you C's. You should know the specific reasons."

Lin Qingyi and Tan Xiaoran felt a little embarrassed after hearing what she said. They certainly knew how they sang, and it was already very good to achieve this result.

"Okay, go down and rest."

After the first group finished their performance, Lin Qingyi and Tan Xiaoran relaxed completely. They went backstage and put B-level stickers on each other.

Lin Qingyi originally wanted to leave after posting it, but Tan Xiaoran suddenly said: "It's so lucky to have a B."

Lin Qingyi thought she was just chatting, so he sighed, "I felt like the air stopped flowing the moment I started singing. The vocal teacher is really good to us."

Both of them were smiling. This level was already the best result for them, but Lin Qingyi and Tan Xiaoran were smiling for different reasons.

As soon as he entered the backstage where labels were posted, Tan Xiaoran noticed that it was almost full of cameras. If he just posted them and left, it would be a big loss. So he pulled Lin Qingyi, talked to him for a few words, and hesitated for a while before leaving.

However, Lin Qingyi himself had no idea.

Tan Xiaoran felt helpless when she saw her looking at the rank sticker on her waist and smiling foolishly. She should have let Lin Qingyi watch a few talent shows first.

After the two of them finished pasting, they walked to the left side of the stage. There was a big light on it, and there was a B shape on it.

The contestants who were closer to them looked at the labels on their waists with curiosity, and then looked forward to getting good results.

As time passed, groups of contestants came over one after another, but their initial performances were very average and the mentors gave them relatively low grades. So far, the two of them are still the highest grade on the field.

Lin Qingyi usually goes to bed early. It was already twelve o'clock in the evening, but more than half of the contestants had not yet performed their first stage. She kept blinking her eyes, but did not dare to yawn, for fear of being caught by the camera and being accused of not taking other people's stages seriously.

While she was still in a daze, Tan Xiaoran suddenly poked her arm and whispered, "This is my roommate."

Lin Qingyi perked up and looked at the name on the small screen.

He Minju.

Lin Qingyi looked at the person on the stage. He had a delicate and gentle face, and the song he was performing was a lyrical one. When the song ended, Lin Qingyi felt that he was really going to sleep here.

Although she didn't understand, she could tell that the singing was very nice. However, because she didn't have any dance moves, she was eventually put into Group C, which was a pity for Tan Xiaoran.

After He Minju's performance ended, the small screen on the stage began to flicker again, and finally landed on a familiar name - Ning Cong'an.
