Chapter 18 Chapter 18 End of the Division

The trainees gathered in Practice Room 2 again.

I haven't seen you for a week and I miss you so much.

Cong An greeted everyone one by one.

Facing Qiao Sinian, he said, "Brother Qiao, I miss you so much!" followed by a sticky hug.

Qiao Sinian let Cong'an hug him and raised his hand to touch Cong'an's hair. "It's been a long time since we last met. I missed you too. How did you do on the final exam?"

Cong An's whole body stiffened, "I regard you as my best brother, but you treat me like this?!" He let go of her hand with an accusing look on his face.

"Haha." Qiao Sinian laughed triumphantly. He was already an adult, having finished the college entrance exam! A change of identity. Was asking others about their scores such a satisfying experience? Especially when the person being asked looked pained, it was even more refreshing. Qiao Sinian stroked his chin and slowly scanned the group of friends in the practice room.

Who should we care about next?

The trainees who came back from the exam felt a chill all over their bodies.

I looked around quickly, but found nothing.

Cong'an had a bad start and ran to Huangxi's arms to seek comfort.

"It's okay, as long as I can pass." Huang Xi said.

Cong An froze again.

"No way, you didn't pass?" Huang Xi couldn't believe it.

Cong An hesitated, "No, it's just, this, that, oops, I had a fever this time, I'm not in good shape, I don't know how many points I can get on the test."

"It's okay." Huang Xi patted Cong'an's shoulder to comfort him. "There's nothing we can do about being sick. Just do better on the exam next time."

"Yeah." Cong An nodded dejectedly.

The energetic puppy turned into a puppy wet by the rain, looking sad.

Cang Zizhen and Wu Anyi came over to comfort her.

Cang Zizhen spoke in a smoky voice: "What's wrong?"

Wu Anyi said in a clear, youthful voice: "Why are you not happy?"

"Woo woo woo." Cong An hugged one of them in each hand. This is what a good brother is.

"Come and bring the microphone." Li Qiang pushed the door open and came in.

"Here I come!" Cong'an stood up straight with a start and ran to get Mai.

After bringing the microphone and debugging the equipment, today's recording is about to begin.

Ding Ling and Sun Yutong sat behind the camera, their eyes always falling on Lu Yao involuntarily.

Today Lu Yao tied his hair into a high ponytail with his bangs cut into fine layers. After being styled by the stylist, his eyebrows and forehead ornaments were exposed, making him look particularly youthful. He lowered his head slightly, and the ends of his hair fell along his shoulders, causing his earrings to sway.

She is full of youth and just sitting there is a beautiful picture.

Where is the slightest trace of what the two people were discussing in the office just now?

Sun Yutong couldn't help but be a little absent-minded.

What kind of person is Lu Yao?

"Quadrant One: The assessment performance for 'I' will take place on July 23rd." Ding Ling's voice rang out, and the recording began. "You have less than twenty days to prepare."

"The assessment performances for the first four dimensions of the fifth quadrant will all be held in the form of concerts."

"So you have the next twenty days to prepare for a concert."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy, but I hope everyone can give their best."

“I have to live up to the audience and, more importantly, live up to myself who has trained for four years.”

The trainees' faces turned serious.

"Next, we'll announce the concept song selection and team division rules."

"Captain Bai You, song "FIRE"

"Captain Yin Hongxue, song "FREEDOM"

"Captain Qiu Yuge, song "Rhapsody Night"

"Captain Zhu Xiangming, song 'King'"

Everyone already knew the song selection, and their expressions didn't change at this moment.

Ding Ling smiled slightly and then spoke.

“‘FIRE’ is a five-person song and dance track.”

“‘FREEDOM’ is a duet rap track.”

“‘Rhapsody Night’ is a rap track by three people.”

“‘The King’ is a duet.”

The song demo started playing on TV.

Everyone was shocked.

Five plus two plus three plus two makes twelve people.

"So four people will have no stage!" Wu Anyi reacted immediately.

Wang Mingzhi sat next to him, his face livid.

Lu Jianian lowered his eyes and couldn't help laughing.

Lu Yao was a little surprised. In the previous materials of the fifth generation, there was no obvious sense of competition, and there was no ranking among the trainees. The overall atmosphere was very gentle. He did not expect that the debut plan would change the previous warmth and competition would start from the first performance.

"Lu Yao automatically joins Bai You's team, so there are still three spots left in Bai You's team."

"Team rules are as follows:"

"Trainees are free to choose their favorite captain. Each trainee gets one vote. The captain will choose the team members in order of the highest number of votes. The selected trainees cannot refuse."

Wu Anyi exclaimed softly, "Wow."

The trainees who did not become captains have quickly started thinking about how to choose to join the team they want.

The four captains are also busy. How to choose the members they like is a question worth considering.

The most relaxed person in the whole audience was Lu Yao, who was sitting in the corner.

He looked left and right, completely calm.

Today, Lu Yao was matched with a very pink outfit by the stylist. The upper body is a white T-shirt with a pink and white sweatshirt jacket. There is a furry white kitten on the jacket. The lower body is white casual pants, which is very cute.

Now, looking around with his eyes open, he felt a sense of similarity between himself and the cat on his sweatshirt.

"Okay, now captains can go to their private rooms to think about teammate selections. You have twenty minutes. During this time, you can choose a trainee to chat privately with."

"In twenty minutes, the selection will officially begin."

Upon hearing this, the four captains stood up and followed Li Qiang and Xu Bin out.

But when leaving, she still winked at the person she wanted with reluctance.

Try to make the other person understand your feelings.

As soon as the four captains left, the practice room immediately became lively.

Everyone sat in their seats, looked at each other, and then asked questions.

"Who do you want to choose?"

A question that is neither difficult nor daunting.

In the past four years, the Fifth Generation has held many performances of various sizes. Although this is the first time they have held a concert with tens of thousands of people, the number of audience members does not affect the stage presentation. Years of practice and performances have allowed them to know what stage is suitable for them and what kind of stage will produce the best effect.

The song selection came out last week. A week was enough time for everyone to figure out which stage they wanted to go to, and some had even discussed it privately.

But now the sudden limit on the number of people and team rules caught them off guard.

Who do you want to choose? The answer is already there.

But whether he can be selected is still an unknown.

"Lu Yao, Bai You is looking for you."

Li Qiang called someone at the door.

Lu Yao followed Li Qiang to the private room, where Bai You was standing in front of a whiteboard, thinking.

Seeing Lu Yao coming in, Bai You was obviously relieved.

"Come and see who we're going to select for our team."

Lu Yao looked at the whiteboard.

Sixteen names were written on it in order, with a horizontal line drawn under the names of An, Cang Zizhen, Wan Yuanzhou and himself.

Obviously, this is Bai You's intended candidate.

Lu Yao: "I think these are very suitable."

The lead singers are Wan Yuanzhou and him, the rapper is Cang Zizhen, the main dancers are Cong An and Bai You himself.

Bai You was worried: "I'm afraid they will choose Cang Zizhen."

This is indeed the case. If Bai You was ranked lower, then Cang Zizhen would most likely be selected.

"In this case," Bai You continued to draw on the whiteboard, "Luo Wenbo and Wang Mingzhi, if we can't choose these two, then there will be no one on our team who can sing rap."

"No." Lu Yao stepped forward, picked up a pen, and tapped under the names of Yin Hongxue and Qiu Yuge. "Yin Hongxue's duet performance needs a lead singer and a rapper. Yin Hongxue is the rapper herself, so he won't choose the rapper. Qiu Yuge's three-person performance also needs a rapper and a lead singer. If he's ranked ahead of you, he might choose Cang Zizhen."

"Zhu Xiangming's stage doesn't need rap."

"So, as long as Qiu Yuge doesn't choose Cang Zizhen, it'll be fine."

Bai You breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became nervous again, "Is it true that Qiu Yuge wouldn't choose Cang Zi?"

In Practice Room 2, everyone was still thinking, when suddenly, the door was pushed open.

"Cang Zizhen, Bai You is calling you." After Lu Yao finished speaking, he walked to his seat and sat down.

Cang Zizhen nodded at Lu Yao and walked out.

Not all the trainees were present. Except for Cang Zizhen who had just left, Huang Xi, Wanyuanzhou and Wu Hai were not there either.

Most of the remaining people looked unhappy.

The ones who are called out may not necessarily be the teammates you want, but the ones who are not called out are definitely not the teammates you want.

After realizing this, the trainees, knowing that they had no hope of getting on stage, naturally had indifferent expressions.

——Not entirely.

Lu Yao glanced at Lu Jianian, who looked very relaxed and was happily chatting with Cong An.

Soon, twenty minutes were up and the four captains returned to the practice room.

Under Ding Ling's command, the four people lined up in front of the camera and voted by standing behind their favorite captain.

After the private chat just now, the result of who to choose and who not to choose is already very clear. Without any further hesitation, everyone quickly chose their intended captain.

Behind Zhu Xiangming stood Huang Xi, behind Yin Hongxue stood Wan Yuanzhou and Lu Jianian, behind Qiu Yuge stood Wu Anyi, Jiang Mu, Wu Hai, Luo Wenbo and Wang Mingzhi, behind Bai You stood Lu Yao, Cang Zizhen, Qiao Sinian and Cong'an.

Qiu Yuge received the most votes and can choose his teammates first.

Amidst Bai You's nervous expression, Qiu Yuge's first teammate fell into the hands of Luo Wenbo.

Cang Zizhen was not selected, and Bai You immediately chose Cang Zizhen next, and the remaining team members were also selected one by one.

Wan Yuanzhou was chosen by Yin Hongxue, and Zhu Xiangming chose Huang Xi.

The division is over, and the final four teams are configured as follows:

Bai You's "FIRE" five-member team, with lead dancers Bai You, Qiao Sinian, Cong An, lead vocalist Lu Yao, and rapper Cang Zizhen.

The team list is slightly different from Bai You's original idea, but it's not a big problem.

Qiu Yuge's "Rhapsody" trio, with lead singer Wu Hai, RAP Qiu Yuge and Luo Wenbo.

Yin Hongxue's "FREEDOM" duo, RAP Yin Hongxue, lead singer Wan Yuanzhou.

Zhu Xiangming's "King" duo, with lead singers Zhu Xiangming and Huang Xi.

In the end, Lu Jianian, Wu Anyi, Jiang Mu, and Wang Mingzhi had no stage.

Everyone separated, and the teams that had completed their formation went to their respective rooms to discuss the stage. Wang Mingzhi stayed in the practice room, his eyes flickering and his expression very bad.
