Chapter 27

Lin Qingyi reacted and quickly raised her head. She looked at Ning Cong'an and wanted to apologize, but she found that the other person's eyes were also closed and he looked asleep.

She breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, guessing that she must have leaned on the other person after he fell asleep, otherwise he would have pushed her awake.

Lin Qing turned his head to calm himself down, and just missed Ning Cong'an's eyelashes trembling because he was pretending to be asleep.

The car stopped, and when Lin Qing saw that the person next to him was still asleep, he gently patted the other person's shoulder.

She originally thought that the other party would be drowsy like someone who had just woken up, but when he opened his eyes, his clear and bright eyes looked directly at her, which made Lin Qing's breath stop.

The two looked at each other for a while before Lin Qingyi said, "We're here."

Ning Cong'an said "hmm" without any emotion and unbuckled his seat belt. Lin Qingyi followed Ning Cong'an out of the car.

As soon as he got off the car, Lin Qingyi squinted his eyes because of the wind blowing in his face and the scorching sun in the sky.

When she adjusted herself and opened her eyes again, what came into her sight was a blue sea and a golden beach.

Seabirds were circling and flying overhead, and from time to time one could hear their cries.

Yancheng was originally a coastal city, so when Lin Qing saw the beach and the sea, he was not so amazed. He just felt that he had not been outdoors for a long time. The salty and humid air wrapped in sea water smelled much better than the air in the training camp, and his motion sickness symptoms were alleviated a lot.

Many people around were from inland, and some had never even seen the sea. When they saw it, they shouted excitedly.

Ning Cong'an beside him seemed to have not seen it either. Although she was still indifferent and didn't react much, her eyes were bright and she looked much cuter than usual.

Lin Qingyi, who was looking at the other party at this time, was thinking this.

Turning their gaze to the right, they saw a huge stage that had been built and was now facing them.

The mentors stood on the stage without knowing when.

Everyone walked over consciously, stood in the audience, and felt the audience's vision.

The natural light makes people look white and bright, and even the stage seems to have a sense of freedom.

Everyone looked at the mentors on the stage, and their faces were naturally filled with smiles.

Fang Yingrong looked at the audience and rarely showed a kind smile. When she smiled, she looked like the aunt living next door, very friendly.

She tapped the microphone and said, "After being locked up for so long, we're finally being let out. As an old man, if I breathe a few more breaths of the artificial air in this training camp, I'm afraid I'll age a few more years."

This was the first time anyone had heard Fang Yingrong tell a joke, and everyone couldn't help but smile. Zhong Conglu, standing by, said, "Did the production team hear that? If Teacher Fang's performance deteriorates, it's all your fault."

The mentors made jokes to liven up the atmosphere, and the members on the scene also smiled happily. As they were about to face the third public performance, everyone finally relaxed their nerves again.

Seeing that everyone had relaxed somewhat, Fang Yingrong spoke up, "I'm sure you've all guessed that this will be the stage for your third performance."

"Of course, you will also complete the final debut competition here."

"See those seven platforms on the left?"

Everyone looked in the direction Fang Yingrong said, and saw seven platforms, with the whistling sea breeze and waves rushing towards the shore behind them.

"Those seven positions, at the end, will be occupied by the seven contestants who successfully debuted."

There were lights at the bottom and sides of the platform, and everyone couldn't help but look forward to the feeling of all the lights shining on them on the night of their debut.

Everyone looked at the platform. After the third performance, they might be the ones standing on it. The members were nervous and excited, and they couldn't wait for that day to come.

"Alright, we won't delay the rehearsal. Everyone, go backstage from the right and start rehearsing. We'll be rehearsing here for the next two days. Thank you all for getting up early."

After Fang Yingrong finished speaking, the mentors also came backstage.

He Minju then remembered that he had changed his movements but had not had time to explain to Ke Jiyao.

As soon as he arrived backstage, He Minju quickly found Ke Jiyao.

Because they are the first group to rehearse.

He Minju briefly explained it to Ke Jiyao, and with Ke Jiyao's help, she refined the movements backstage. After He Minju made the modifications, she never showed them to everyone. She only knew that the effect looked good on her personally, but she didn't know what the result would be like after she integrated into the group.

Although it was detailed, He Minju was still a little nervous after standing on the rehearsal stage.

Lin Qingyi saw it, smiled at her and signaled her to relax.

Even if the result is not satisfactory, you can always change back to the original action, which is not considered a large-scale modification.

Lin Qingyi looked at the empty stage below, and this time, what greeted her was not the dark audience seats like an abyss, but the golden beach and the rolling waves.

The midday sun was very hot and the stage was open air. As Lin Qingyi stood on it, he felt his sweat dripping down.

The rehearsal ended quickly.

At this time, Lin Qingyi looked like he had just come out of the sea, his whole body soaked with sweat.

But she was actually happier than she had been the last few times.

The familiar smell of sea water and the blue sky she could see when she looked up made her feel much more relaxed.

After the rehearsal, the five of them hurried backstage.

In order to prevent them from catching a cold due to the sudden change of temperature, the air conditioning backstage was not turned on very coldly, but for the members who had just come off the stage, it was already a great happiness.

Ke Jiyao sat next to them, fanning herself with a cardboard in her hand, with her bangs combed back, looking very cool, completely different from her usual appearance.

She fanned herself and said, "He Minju, you did a good job on that last move."

Ke Jiyao held a mobile phone in her other hand, and the video playing on the phone was the one she had just recorded during the rehearsal.

He Minju smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "This is all thanks to Qingyi. She stayed up late last night to help me modify the movements."

Ke Jiyao looked at her with some surprise, with surprise and appreciation in her eyes.

All the members here, even if they are friends, are more like competitors. She didn't expect that someone would be willing to take the initiative to help others and make others perform better.

Lin Qing felt a little embarrassed when she saw them all looking at her: "It's still the most important thing that Minju realized it himself. In fact, I just gave a simple idea."

By the time all six groups finished rehearsing, it was almost evening.

Ning Cong'an is in the last group.

Seeing the other party walking into the backstage with sweat all over his forehead, Lin Qingyi suddenly became curious about what kind of performance the other party would give this time.

Because all the songs were released the previous two times, she could probably guess what kind of role and style the other party would perform in the songs, but this time because the instructors created the songs themselves, everyone's information was kept confidential.

Ning Cong'an had chosen a vocal instructor, so it was likely that the songs were all produced by them. Although Lin Qingyi was curious, she was not in a hurry. After all, she would be able to see it in two days.

The two days of rehearsal passed in a flash.

On the day of the third performance, Lin Qingyi couldn't fall asleep.

Not only her, but the entire dormitory 409 couldn't sleep.

After the lights in the dormitory were turned off, Lin Qingyi could still hear the creaking sound of bed boards from several beds.

Lin Qingyi himself is no exception.

She lay in bed, but she felt uneasy and turned over from time to time.

In the second half of the night, the noises of turning over became less and less frequent, and Lin Qingyi didn't dare to move around anymore, for fear of disturbing Ning Cong'an's sleep. After all, their beds were connected to the same iron frame, and when they turned over, the beds on both sides would shake.

She had no choice but to keep her eyes open and look at the ceiling. Unexpectedly, she would keep her eyes open until dawn.

Listening to the sounds of other people in the dormitory waking up one after another, Lin Qingyi felt desperate. She felt that she was not so nervous even when she took the college entrance examination.

Hearing the sound of Yan Feiyang getting out of bed opposite her, Lin Qingyi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She lay there for a few more seconds, made a final struggle, and then climbed up as if resigned to her fate.

Lin Qingyi's face was pale. Yan Feiyang walked in after brushing his teeth outside and was startled by her.

She looked at the bruises on Lin Qingyi's face and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Lin Qingyi didn't sleep all night, his mind was confused, and he couldn't tell whether the other party was being sarcastic or if they really cared about him. So he nodded with his toothbrush in his mouth, and then dragged his heavy body to the balcony to brush his teeth.

When she came back after washing up, she felt much better and saw a cup of coffee on her seat.

Yan Feiyang put down the kettle and said awkwardly, "There's one extra line of coffee, and I accidentally boiled too much water. You can drink it."

This person obviously wanted to cheer her up, but he still had an expression of 'reward for you'. Lin Qingyi looked at the coffee and suddenly curled up the corners of her mouth. She suddenly felt that Yan Feiyang was not so annoying anymore.

Cen Jingshu came in from the balcony and heard this. She said, "Can I have coffee?"

Yan Feiyang didn't even look at her, and said unhappily, "That's the last one."

When she said this, Cen Jingshu didn't get angry, but just smiled and said "Oh".

Ning Cong'an had packed up and was sitting opposite her.

Lin Qingyi's mind raced for a moment, and he leaned over and whispered to Ning Cong'an, "Would you like to drink something? I'll pour you some so you can feel better later."

Ning Cong'an pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time. Just when Lin Qingyi thought that the other party didn't want it and was about to drink it all in one breath, Ning Cong'an said, "Okay."

Then she pushed the quilt on her table over, making little noise and not attracting the attention of the other two.

Lin Qingyi looked at her actions and found them a little funny, so he smiled silently and poured her two sips.

While Yan Feiyang wasn't paying attention, Ning Cong'an picked up the cup and drank it all. Then they both tacitly stopped talking, just washed the cup and put it upside down on the cup rack on the table, just like their lives in the previous two months.
