What does it mean to be alone in an empty house?

If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!

Shi Xi brought the pot and ingredients to the program's canteen.

But all she knows how to do is eat; she doesn't know how to cook hot pot.

On-site search.

Pour in the oil, and then add the hot pot base when the oil is hot.

Seeing the splattered oil, Shi Xi quickly fled the hot pot.

"It seems like we haven't added water yet." Shi Xi asked, "Do you want hot water or cold water?"

Cameraman: ...Who knows?

Soon, Shi Xi stopped worrying about it.

Because there is only cold water.

Never mind, just boil it.

Shi Xi watched as the soup in the pot boiled, then put the meatballs in.

Then I invited everyone to come and eat hot pot together.

"The Top" is, after all, a talent show, and it has extremely strict requirements on the trainees' physiques.

Therefore, the cafeteria uses less oil and salt, and the most common dish is vegetable salad.

Now that they finally have hot pot, the trainees are overjoyed and cry tears of happiness.

Mommy! Finally, I don't have to eat grass anymore! Baa!

Before eating hot pot, everyone was still practicing hard.

Upon hearing that they could eat hot pot, everyone gathered around the table, gazing at the hot pot in front of them.

Shi Xi brought a divided hot pot, catering to both those who can and cannot handle spicy food.

The tables in the cafeteria can be pushed together to seat more than a dozen people.

But there's only one pot.

Fortunately, the cafeteria also had salads, so everyone was able to have a meal.

Shi Xi glanced over at it.

Everyone else came except for Philomena and her entourage.

Whatever.

Anyway, she did what she was supposed to do; whether Philomena came or not was her own business.

After finishing the hot pot, everyone was very satisfied.

Shi Xi then gave each person a custom-made in-ear monitor.

The purpose of an in-ear monitor is to allow you to clearly hear the accompaniment and your own voice on a large stage, so as to determine whether you are singing off-key.

These are extremely important tools for singers and idols.

“Each in-ear monitor has your name engraved on it.” Shi Xi smiled and said, her eyes crinkling. “The in-ear monitors provided by the production team are also very good. But after leaving here, you may go to different places, so I hope these in-ear monitors can help you.”

On stage, due to the large space, performers often cannot hear their own voices, so they need in-ear monitors to listen to whether their voices are off-key or out of tune.

At the same time, without in-ear monitors, you can't hear the accompaniment or the accompaniment is delayed.

Famous singers will customize their own in-ear monitors and hand microphones, but unknown idols can barely support themselves, let alone customize these things.

The in-ear monitor that Shi Xi uses is a custom-made one given to her by a fan.

The trainees stared in surprise when they received their in-ear monitors.

"This must be very expensive, right?" Mizunashi Yuuki took the in-ear monitor, her pupils dilating in shock.

"It's alright. If it's a bulk order, it'll be a little cheaper than the original price," Shi Xi said.

Custom in-ear monitors will cost at least five figures.

Bai Cangyang was surprised by Shi Xi's generosity. "Professor Shi Xi has gone to great lengths."

"So you all need to perform well!" Shi Xi's eyes crinkled into a smile.

Actually, it was a requirement of the production team that each mentor had to give a gift to the trainees in the final round, which would be edited into the final episode later.

Shi Xi then gave him a practical in-ear monitor.

She may be short of money, but she wouldn't be stingy when it comes to giving gifts.

Anyway, the appearance fee offered by the production team is not low.

Since Philomena wasn't there, Shi Xi had the other trainees hand over the gifts to her.

After receiving it, Philomena casually threw it into the trash can.

"Who would want this kind of garbage she sent?"

...

Other mentors also gave gifts, some shoes, some clothes, all of which were worth over five figures.

Nobody wants to be called stingy on the show.

The competition among mentors (not really)

After this episode aired, fans were deeply touched by the heartwarming gift-giving segment.
