Chapter 32

As the saying goes, what you see is what you see. When a person's mind is always filled with certain ideas, the things he looks at around him will unconsciously be colored by this idea.

Luo Jiayu is in this state now.

With his discerning eyes, he believed he had noticed many small details in the draft camp that he had never noticed before.

For example, when the cameraman came to their practice room to record a training diary vlog, he would deliberately give Wei Ziyu and Jiang Chenglu two more separate shots when they were in the same frame;

For example, many times, the cameraman would rather cue small details like Fu Hansong handing Jiang Chenglu a bottle of mineral water with the screw cap on, rather than praise the handsome guy who was dancing and singing beside him;

For example, although he took away many solo parts in this song, the sexiest and most ambiguous duet part in the whole song was given to the two protagonists. This is also a very eye-catching highlight, but he can't take it away. He can't dance with Fu Hansong.

During the whole performance, when the song reached its climax, he was at the front, rapping wildly, coolly and coolly, feeling like a superstar, and he didn't notice that the two people behind him who were dancing the double wave were almost losing their sight.

Some people win the stage, but seem to lose completely.

He's not even in the same song with his sales partner, how can we compare!

This day was a progress check for the first public performance. Their group was the finale, and when they went on stage, they were the center of attention. The applause from the trainees below the stage was much more enthusiastic than that of the previous groups.

He was originally in high spirits as he walked onto the stage as the main center, tapping the beat. He picked up the microphone, curled his lips and opened his mouth to start the show. The mentor nodded approvingly, but the audience's response was not as jubilant as he had expected. No one jumped up with tears in their eyes, waving their clothes and shouting "Master Luo, I love you". He was a little disappointed.

It would be fine if it was like this throughout the whole song, but just after his rap part ended, it was the turn of the two protagonists behind him to do a duet interactive dance.

Wei Ziyu had just reached out to lift Jiang Chenglu's chin and move closer when the audience suddenly erupted in a roar that was enough to lift the ceiling off. The intensity was even higher than what he had been hoping for.

Amidst the noise, voices could be heard from time to time shouting "so good" and "so sweet". Even the youngest assistant teacher Ling Wei curled her eyes and covered her mouth, and was given a close-up by the camera.

Luo Jiayu watched helplessly as the audience below was stirred into chaos by this light wave movement. For the first time, Young Master Luo's always invincible self-confidence was a little hurt.

Can the charm of one person not compete with the interaction between two people?

My competitors are selling too much, I can’t beat them, I really can’t.

As soon as he got off the stage, he anxiously went to look for his partner, his steps were so hurried that he finally found Chu Yu lying on a chair with his eyes closed in the waiting room.

Chu Yu was originally in a very peaceful state. He had already learned all the dances adapted by Luo Jiayu. Several teammates in the group also took good care of him. There were no audiences on the scene for today's test, and everything went smoothly. He planned to rest first and then turn on the machine automatically when he went on stage.

Then Luo Jiayu ran over in a panic and slammed his power button, disturbing him frantically while shaking his shoulders for comfort.

"What should I do? They're still more popular than me. I've clearly become the center, but the response to their highlight parts is much better than mine. What should I do? What should I do?"

"...Calm down." Chu Yu was swayed by him, and his eyes were slightly open. Because of the severe shaking, his eyes could not focus. He could only see Luo Jiayu jumping in front of him like an anxious king with Zhang Shuai's face covered.

"Stop shaking!"

Luo Jiayu obeyed the order obediently, but he was still shaking with anxiety.

"The poor response from the audience might be because your character is too vicious and unpopular, so people just don't want to applaud you." Chu Yu said expressionlessly, "Stop shaking me, brother. I'm dizzy."

Luo Jiayu blinked, and suddenly revealed a look of surprise and expectation: "Call again?"

"roll."

When Chu Yu went on stage to perform, Luo Jiayu naturally took his place and sat down, crossing his legs and carelessly chewing the gum he had just borrowed from the system mall, while looking at the wall and thinking about why he could not compete with his peers.

Wei Ziyu and Jiang Chenglu are currently the most popular American couple in Dinglian. They are extremely popular among fans, favored by cameramen, and are marketed by the program team both openly and covertly. They are a perfect couple with the right time, place and people.

So why is their CP so popular?

Luo Jiayu was writing a PPT in his head as if he was doing a group project in college. His research topic was "Why is my CP not as popular as theirs?" He was concentrating and had a serious look on his face.

Possible factor one: appearance.

This one would probably be quickly rejected by Luo Jiayu. Good looks? What a joke. He's been handsome since he was a child, so handsome that it's earth-shattering and soul-stirring. When he was in high school, he won the school's official account's "school idol" selection for three consecutive years. Even eight hundred male protagonists in novels can't compete with his face that looks like Nuwa's graduation thesis.

As for his childhood friend, if his face is Nuwa's birthday design, then his childhood friend's face is God's birthday design. I have never seen anyone more handsome than Chu Yu in my life, and it is still the same in this novel world, so the appearance factor can be directly passed.

"Host, is it possible? I mean a possibility." The system's calm and objective voice suddenly emerged from his mind. "You think you and your childhood friend are good-looking. This is more influenced by emotional factors than rational judgment."

Luo Jiayu raised an eyebrow: "Are you saying that Chu Yu and I are not good-looking?"

As Luo Jiayu finished speaking, his childhood friend, who had just finished performing, walked in from the front of the stage. The test went smoothly, and just when they were relieved that everyone had one system, Teacher Zhao suddenly heard Luo Jiayu's words, raised his eyebrows, and asked questioningly:

"Who said my host is not good-looking?"

After Lu Yiyang and the others finished their performance, they all went to the stage to watch the other trainees' test performances. Chu Yu came alone to find Luo Jiayu.

There was no one else around and no cameras, so he relaxed all of a sudden and casually lay down on the chair next to Luo Jiayu. He closed his eyes and listened to the chatter of the two systems and one living person.

"It looks good, I didn't say it's not good-looking." Luo Jiayu's system still maintained a calm tone.

"What I mean is that your standards for judging whether a person is good-looking may not be that objective. For example, even if Xiao Yu is not the most handsome in the camp, you still think he is the most handsome."

"No, I'm the most handsome." Luo Jiayu corrected, "He's the most beautiful."

Even though Chu Yu was sleepy as hell, he still opened his eyes and gave his childhood friend the middle finger.

"You make clay sculptures of me every day." Chu Yu said, "Be careful when you sleep at night."

Luo Jiayu narrowed his eyes and stroked Chu Yu's hair: "Isn't she beautiful? A school beauty."

Chu Yu was furious and slapped Luo Jiayu's hand away. He was so angry that he swelled up and couldn't sleep.

"What school beauty? What clay sculpture?" Teacher Zhao asked questions like a parent who was trying to keep up with the children's surfing speed.

Luo Jiayu saw that his childhood friend was angry and ignoring him, but he still went over to him and continued to annoy him, occasionally picking at the hair by his ear. "When we were in high school, he won the school beauty pageant for three consecutive years."

"Your school can even choose a boy for the campus belle?" Luo Jiayu's system was puzzled. "And what kind of school official account is so idle as to even select the campus belle and hunk?"

Chu Yu swung his sword, but missed the target and the person dodged it, which made him even angrier.

"It's all just some student union stuff going on for fun. Everyone's applying for everything. Most people are signing up their paper wives or husbands, and this psychopath even submitted an application for me."

"I just feel that even though I'm rich, I can't let you down, brother." Luo Jiayu said solemnly, his voice unyielding. "There are two positions in the selection. We should each take one, regardless of our level. Otherwise, how can we be called good brothers?"

Chu Yu accusingly asked back, "And then you secretly gave me over 200 votes?"

"I can't let you down, brother." Luo Jiayu emphasized again and then said with a click of the tongue, "Also, I originally wanted to get 400 votes, but the web server was so bad that the backend crashed halfway through."

Chu Yu was so angry at him that her heart ached, but Luo Jiayu even cast those more than 200 votes himself.

The system was no longer surprised by these two's silly behavior: "No wonder they won first place."

Teacher Zhao was a little unwilling: "But host, you are not bad looking, why didn't you beat that boy and get the school hunk?"

Luo Jiayu lowered his head and touched his nose guiltily.

"You can only submit the application form once," Chu Yu replied unhappily. "And he's the only lunatic in the school who cares so much about the selection. He made everyone in the grade drink a bottle of AD calcium milk just to get the school hunk, and in the end, he got the most votes by a landslide."

“…”

"Host." The system sighed, "You truly are a divine gold."

"Stop scolding me." After his dark history was exposed, Luo Jiayu slowly moved closer to Chu Yu's face and whispered, "I was wrong."

Chu Yu didn't know what he was thinking about, and didn't respond. The people around him stared at his face and stopped chattering for the first time. The whole waiting room was silent for a few seconds. However, Teacher Zhao in his mind frowned and realized that something was wrong.

This atmosphere is a bit weird.

A new group of trainees and staff soon came to the waiting room to prepare. Chu Yu was halfway in a daze when he looked up and saw several more people in the room. He subconsciously let out a "hiss" and wanted to lean behind Luo Jiayu, but then he found that his childhood friend was staring at him like an idiot.

What's wrong? He made an urgent eye contact with the other party.

There are humans here, save me!

Luo Jiayu stared at him for two seconds, then stood up and pulled him behind him. Then he turned around and asked Chu Yu, "Shall we go back to the dormitory?"

Chu Yu nodded vigorously.

There was still some time before the end of the examination. The other trainees hadn't left yet, and the training had been temporarily put on hold. This was one of the few rest days. The two of them returned to the empty dormitory. Chu Yu heard Luo Jiayu's system ask him in his mind:

"Host, you said yesterday that you would check your phone after the rental time refreshed. Are you checking it now?"

Luo Jiayu leaned casually against the wall and stretched. "Look, I bet there must be a lot of new people joining the super topic today. It's not far from becoming the most popular CP super topic in the domestic entertainment industry."

After saying that, pieces of small blue cubes quickly condensed in his hands, and finally turned into the shape of yesterday's mobile phone.

He turned on the phone skillfully and clicked on Weibo, and the next second, the red dot prompt of 999+ in the private message made him dumbfounded.

He was just arguing originally, but he didn't expect it to really explode.

"I'm being cyberbullied?" This was his first reaction.

He opened the private message interface and found that it was not cyberbullying, but the series of questions from different accounts in front of him made him even more confused.

[Hello sister, I want to ask for a super topic avatar original picture without watermark, can it be ok?]

[Sister, your super topic profile picture is so cute! Where did you find it? ]

[I want to ask the source of the sister's super topic avatar, is it a real photo?]

[Sister, is this picture from the Internet?]

[Sister, please say something]

[Sister, are you there? I saw a lot of fans poking at you but you didn’t respond.]

[Brother, are you really 11 years old?]

[Sister, are you a man or a woman? I’m a little scared]

【sister? 】

Luo Jiayu blinked, and it was rare that his reaction time was even slower than Chu Yu's.

This is my first time as a sister, so I’m not very familiar with the business.

He immediately responded to the private message asking "Brother, are you really 11 years old?"

[AAA peerless chief handsome man: Fake. ]

The opponent responded almost instantly.

[Sister, you finally replied to my private message! Many fans have been waiting for you all day and night.]

Luo Jiayu twitched the corners of his mouth.

[AAA peerless chief handsome guy: Sorry, my phone was confiscated yesterday because I was playing with it for too long.]

The other party sent a string of ellipsis marks in seconds, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. It took a long time before he continued.

【……ah. 】

【All right. 】

【A little sister is still a sister.】

[Little sister, can I ask where you got the photo for your super topic profile picture? I want the original photo.]

Luo Jiayu: “?”
