Chapter 31 Chapter 31 I hope the performance is a success

Ding Ling rushed to the hospital, and Sun Yutong stayed at the venue to deal with the follow-up.

Take the trainees backstage and contact the venue manager. The venue is to blame for this incident.

Apart from the performers, the only people under the stage were Wang Mingzhi, Cong'an and Qiao Sinian, who were waiting by the stage for the next performance. As soon as they entered the lounge, they were surrounded by other people.

The trainees backstage had no idea what was going on. They only heard the loud noise and saw Lu Yao and Bai You being escorted away.

"What happened?" Wu Hai hadn't finished changing his clothes yet. When he saw everyone coming in, he walked over wearing only a vest.

Zhu Xiangming was still in shock. When he heard the question, his eyes were filled with confusion: "The cage fell down."

"Cage?" Wu Hai's eyes changed. The prop they used in their last show was a cage. At the climax of the song, the cage was hung from the air and lowered to cover them. Now, when he mentioned the cage, he immediately thought of the cage covered with thorns. "What does it mean that it fell down?" He had a guess in his mind, but he couldn't help but confirm it again.

Zhu Xiangming couldn't hide the fear on his face as he recalled the scene just now. "The cage fell from the sky and landed on the stage."

"What!"

Everyone was shocked.

Then I thought of Lu Yao, Bai You, and Qiu Yuge who were escorted away...

"Where are Qiu Yuge and the others? Are they injured?"

Zhu Xiangming shook his head. "I don't know. I was in front and didn't see it."

Wu Hai looked at the others again, and when their eyes met, everyone shook their heads.

"Did you see that?" Lu Jianian suddenly spoke, looking at Wang Mingzhi, "You stayed to watch their performance just now."

Wang Mingzhi nodded. "Yes, I saw the cage fall, and then Lu Yao protected Bai You. The two of them were covered by the cage, and the others were outside. As for whether they were injured, I only saw thorns scratching Lu Yao's clothes, and I didn't see anything else."

After Wang Mingzhi finished speaking in a few words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as it sounded like it wasn't very serious.

Seeing that no one spoke, Wang Mingzhi walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Lu Jianian followed.

Wang Mingzhi rolled his eyes silently. "What could I possibly not have said? So many people saw it. If you don't believe me, you can ask Cong'an and Qiao Sinian."

Lu Jianian looked skeptical: "Then why are you so happy?"

Wang Mingzhi paused as he took off his coat, then said impatiently, "I was scared and my facial expression was out of control. Is that okay?"

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of his question, Lu Jianian stood up and stopped asking, "It's better this way."

After saying this, he left the sofa, leaving Wang Mingzhi taking off his coat in anger.

The trainees waited in the lounge for a long time before Sun Yutong hurried in with his cell phone.

After multiple investigations, it was determined that there were no other issues in the venue and the cage fell because the buckles were not installed properly.

Hearing this answer, Sun Yutong felt it was absurd and scary. It was such a low-level mistake, but based on Bai You's position on the stage just now, if Bai You stood a little bit forward, the cage would not just cover Bai You, but would fall on Bai You's head!

Such a low-level mistake almost cost the trainee's life!

There are too many things to investigate in this matter, but now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The venue is fine, and Ding Ling also said on the phone that the trainees are fine, so what we need to do next is to continue rehearsing and prepare for tomorrow's performance.

Hearing Sun Yutong's words, everyone in the lounge breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Mingzhi frowned in confusion.

When Ding Ling brought Lu Yao and the other two back to the venue, the others were already prepared and waiting for them.

Bai You hurried backstage to change clothes and immediately joined the rehearsal team. Qiu Yuge's stage was next, and he didn't have time to rest, change clothes, and go to the front to prepare. Lu Yao didn't have a stage for the time being, so he was not in a hurry. He sat in the lounge and answered other people's questions.

When Lu Jianian thought about Wang Mingzhi's condition just now, he felt something was wrong. Now that he sat across from Lu Yao, he asked questions one after another, "Are you okay?"

Lu Yao shook his head: "It's okay."

"Are you hurt?"

"Injured."

Lu Jianian stood up in an instant, "How can you say you're fine when you're injured?"

Lu Yao explained: "It's just a minor injury."

Jiang Mu thought of something, "Then will you still go on stage tomorrow?"

Lu Yao nodded: "Go ahead."

Jiang Mu suddenly realized that since he could go on stage, his injuries should not be serious.

Ding Ling watched from the side for a while, and when she saw everyone surrounding Lu Yao and asking questions, she quickly went over to interrupt them and said, "Let Lu Yao rest for a while."

If she continued asking like this, she was afraid that Lu Yao would say something he shouldn't say.

Judging from Lu Yao's attitude in answering questions, who knows what he would say.

After Ding Ling said this, everyone felt that it was not a good idea to surround Lu Yao and keep asking questions, so they dispersed and the space around Lu Yao suddenly became empty.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

When Lu Yao and Li Qiang went to an empty room to change clothes and came back, the rehearsal had already reached the last performance for all members. Everyone stood on the stage and danced to the music.

Ding Ling stood behind the camera, looking at the monitor very attentively.

The stage director took a quick look and said, "Everyone's acting is pretty good."

Ding Ling frowned and said nothing.

The stage director glanced at him again, "What are you looking at so seriously?"

Ding Ling finally raised her head and looked at the stage.

Lu Yao was dancing in the corner. Every move he made was neat and free-spirited, and the smile on his face was bright and youthful, no different from when he was in the practice room.

No, better than in the practice room.

It's like I've never been hurt.

She shook her head and said slowly: "No, I'm just very happy to see everyone behave so well."

"Hahahahaha, yes, everyone is pretty nice. Fortunately, Lu Yao wasn't seriously injured. It's a blessing. Tomorrow's performance will definitely be a success."

"Yeah." Ding Ling curled the corners of her mouth.

I hope so.

Rehearsals are in full swing, and [The Fifth Quadrant EP04: Song Selection Team] is also online on time.

Fans who have already rushed to Tianhua City have already set aside this time to watch the materials as soon as possible.

Song Rui took a day off and has now arrived at the hotel. Next to her is her star-chasing sister whom she has known for four years but has never met. Shen Sisi - that is, she is tired of playing.

They finally met in person!!!

After happily hugging and cheering in the hotel lobby, the two checked in. As soon as they entered the room with their suitcases, they took out their computers, connected to the Internet, and opened their Fifth Quadrant account.

Today's material, the two of them can watch it together! Chatting while watching, just thinking about it makes me happy!

"Selecting songs and dividing into teams? Isn't this recorded after the strength assessment?" Song Rui saw the title and made a guess.

"It should be." Shen Sisi nodded, "It's been half a month, and Minghui Entertainment just released it? Why didn't they wait a little longer?"

"That's right, I'm really impressed!"

The video started playing and the trainees appeared on the screen.

Shen Sisi immediately looked towards Lu Yao in the corner.

"Ah!" She grabbed Song Rui, "White cat! So cute! And a pink coat, my God! How can it be so well-behaved!"

Song Rui fully understood Shen Sisi's feelings, because she was also touched by his cuteness. "This seems to be the first time he wears casual clothes. It's a completely different style, but it's really cute."

"Look at his eyes!" Shen Sisi held her face in her hands. "They're blinking. Aren't they exactly like the cat on his body? The stylist is really good."

The two of them were mesmerized by the beginning of the video for a long time before they finally pressed the play button to start playing the video. However, Shen Sisi's attention would be drawn to Lu Yao from time to time. Seeing him blinking curiously in the corner, looking around, and tilting his head in thought... every time she was so cute, she would smile like an aunt.

When she thought about seeing such a cute creature with her own eyes the next day, she was so excited that she wanted to go to the gym and run for two hours.

When the video played to the private rooms of different captains and Lu Yao was no longer in the picture, Shen Sisi was able to suppress her excitement and think about the current process.

"How do they divide into teams?" Shen Sisi asked Song Rui.

Song Rui was surprised: "Didn't you see it?"

Shen Sisi chuckled: “I saw it, but it didn’t enter my mind.”

Song Rui sighed. What else could her good friend do? Of course she spoiled him. She began to explain one by one, looking at the shots of the different captains.

Before Song Rui finished speaking, Shen Sisi cheered. Song Rui looked and saw that Lu Yao was on the screen again.

It seems that there is no need to introduce the rules.

In the video, Bai You is explaining his intended candidate to Lu Yao, and then expresses his concern that Cang Zizhen will be chosen.

After listening to this, Lu Yao took up his pen and began to analyze without any hesitation.

"Wow, Lu Yao is so smart!" As soon as Lu Yao finished his analysis, Shen Sisi couldn't wait to speak.

Song Rui glanced at Shen Sisi silently: "Didn't you read the rules? How do you know if his analysis is correct?"

"Hehe, I understood it as soon as he analyzed it." Shen Sisi couldn't help laughing, "But if Bai You wants to choose Cang Zizhen, he should be able to choose her. After all, Qiu Yuge won't compete with him."

"Yeah." Song Rui nodded in agreement, "Qiu Yuge will probably choose Luo Wenbai."

Shen Sisi sighed: "It's called free team formation, but in fact, there are no other possibilities except those few groups. It would be better to let Lu Yao be the captain."

"Can Lu Yao be the captain?"

"Of course you can!" Shen Sisi was furious when she mentioned this. "I don't know how the rules for the strength assessment were set. It clearly says that the first-placed person will be the captain, but they tied Lu Yao and Bai You together. If it weren't for this rule, Lu Yao would definitely be the captain based on his vocal performance."

Song Rui recalled Lu Yao's performance and nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

As they discussed and watched the video, they finished it quickly. Thinking of the last part of the daily practice, Shen Sisi's mood became depressed. "Lu Yao could only stand in the corner all the time, and no one talked to him."

Song Rui comforted him: "It's okay, we just met, so it's inevitable that we'll feel a little unfamiliar. It will be fine after we get to know each other better."

“That’s what she said…” Shen Sisi understood, but still felt distressed.

"Come on, think about something happy. The concert is tomorrow and you can see Lu Yao in person. How about it, are you happy?" Thinking about the concert tomorrow, Song Rui couldn't help but smile.

Shen Sisi immediately came out of her depressed mood and looked forward to tomorrow's concert.

"Hehe, happy."

Away from the internet and the screen, they will finally be able to truly see the trainees standing before them, alive, talking, and breathing.
