Xie Qingyu was originally the leader of the top idol boy group NOVA-X, but on his way to the final stop of a global tour with his members, he was involved in a multi-car pile-up on an elevated high...
Chapter 198 "TOP IDOL" in progress 5.0
Wrestling matches are played in a best-of-three format, with each round limited to 2 minutes.
Xie Qingyu looked up at the countdown on the big screen. There were only more than thirty seconds left before the first round ended.
Judging from the current stalemate situation, it is almost impossible to completely defeat the opponent in a short period of time. Now we can only strive to get more technical points.
When the referee blew the whistle, the two players on the field were finally able to separate and rest for 30 seconds between games.
The high-intensity and focused confrontation and frequent offense and defense transitions consumed a lot of physical strength of both players.
Ding Zai was supporting himself on his knees and breathing slightly, the strands of hair on his forehead had already been soaked with sweat. Xiang Ke was not much better, with a large area of the back of his sportswear soaked.
The result of the first game was quickly revealed, with both sides only getting small scores: Ding Zai with 4 points and Xiang Ke with 3 points.
This slight advantage of 1 point allowed Ding to get the match point first.
If he wins the second game again, he will be able to secure the victory directly, but if Xiang Ke wins a game, the game will enter the decisive third round.
Of course, no matter which round, as long as you can control your opponent's shoulders on the ground for more than 1 second, you can win directly.
The 30-second break between games is not long. In order to ensure the fairness and standardization of the game, they or the staff are not allowed to provide towels or drinking water in the middle, and can only let the two players adjust their status on their own.
The whistle for the second round sounded, and Ding Zai and Xiang Ke started fighting again.
Ding was usually really nice to Leo. Leo, watching from the sidelines, was even more nervous than the person involved, his fists clenched white. "Brother, why don't they just throw it?"
This kind of back-and-forth temptation makes people anxious.
The sweat of the two men in the field had already soaked through their inner clothes, and beads of sweat from their temples kept dripping down their chins, but they were still concentrating on staring at each other's every subtle movement.
Xie Qingyu's eyes never left the arena and he said, "He might have his own plans."
Ding Zai is in good physical condition and is currently in the lead. There should be no big problem in winning three games. He is not an impatient person and obviously wants to win the game steadily.
As for Xiang Ke, who dances regularly, his physical strength would not be too bad either. He was already in a backward position, and Ding Zai was also very sharp.
Since they hadn't reached the final time point, they were definitely afraid of launching a large-scale attack, which would be like what happened at the beginning of the first game, where Ding would find their weak point and counterattack them.
In short, both of them are scheming now, and no one can take advantage first.
At the end of the second game, the two were sweating profusely, and the idols watching the game on the sidelines spontaneously split into two factions, cheering for their favorites.
Although the offense and defense in this round were more intense, Xie Qingyu expected that the score difference might not be too big.
Sure enough, the referee announced that Ding Zai scored 2 points and Xiang Ke scored 3 points.
A difference of 1 point allowed Xiang Ke to successfully win back a game.
Now, the balance of victory and defeat has returned to zero, and the final battle will be decided in the third round.
[This match was truly exhilarating! This is what an arena should be like!]
[Both of them are very strong. If they competed separately, they might have made it to the finals. It's a pity that they met early.]
[Oh, I'm confused. Aren't these events all based on specialties? Why is it that the guy in the first round and Ding Zai are completely different levels?]
[Please stop whipping the corpse, the child has suffered enough]
[Fact check: Although Luo Hang is officially an idol, he's a regular at wrestling and boxing clubs in private, aiming for championships in these events.]
[Good boy, this is really a trap. I have to say, the guy in the first game had really bad luck.]
[So Wei Liangchen is no longer worthy of even having a name? Hahaha]
[That can't be helped. His first loss was so bizarre and so memorable. Maybe people can't remember his name, but at least they remember his behavior. It was a truly horrible scene.]
[Actually, you could also call him—the guy who got knocked down in the first round and buried his head on CC's shoulder, not daring to look up, thinking he was bursting into tears of shame, but actually looked up without shedding a tear! Phew~ I finally finished typing this line.]
[Wow, wow! This note suggests a World Heritage application.]
[I guess we'll have to wait until the timer expires to score this round. Both players are too steady, keeping the other closely guarded.]
[I think so too... I kkkkkkk]
[The results are in! Someone was knocked to the ground!]
The situation on the field changes rapidly, and the winner has been revealed.
Xie Qingyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, while Leo and Wei Liangchen beside him were already hugging each other excitedly and spinning around to celebrate.
Gu Zheng nudged Bai Tang with his elbow and said in a low voice, "It ended later than expected."
He originally thought that Ding Zai could secure the victory in advance, but he didn't expect that the outcome would not be decided until now.
Bai Lang glanced at Xiang Ke, who was being firmly subdued by Ding Zai on the field, and responded with a brief "hmm".
As the referee blew the final whistle, Ding stood up and pulled Xiang Ke up with him.
Although the competition was not too long, the physical confrontation under high mental tension was completely different from dance training. Both of them were exhausted, but they also experienced a different kind of competitive pleasure.
Looking at Ding Zai being surrounded by his teammates and being asked about their well-being, Xiang Ke walked silently towards his own team.
Unlike the eager anticipation before the game, the teammates' eyes were filled with disappointment at this moment, but they still had to force themselves to smile in front of the camera.
Xiang Ke was too lazy to cooperate with this drama and went straight to the supply area on the sidelines to get some water.
Here, Ding Zai was overwhelmed by the "feeding" from his teammates - thermos cups, energy bars, dry and wet towels, and glucose solution were given in turn.
He said with disdain, "Oh, I only have two hands and a mouth," but his eyes and eyebrows were full of smugness.
"Come on! I didn't get treated like this after the competition!"
Wei Liangchen sourly broke off a piece of energy bar and stuffed it into his mouth, but his eyes couldn't hide his envy.
He had originally planned to win this way, but unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished. He was so angry!
Ding was still chewing an energy bar, and immediately turned his back on him: "You didn't even break a sweat when you left the stage, did you? If there weren't any games coming up, you would probably sleep in the middle of the field until the end of the day, and you wouldn't be afraid of catching a cold~"
"You are such a heartless person!" Wei Liangchen pretended to stuff the remaining energy bar into his mouth.
"I wouldn't feed you even if I fed the dog!" The two of them immediately started wrestling with each other.
Xie Qingyu silently put the glucose solution back into his pocket. Seeing how energetic he was, it was obvious that Ding Zai did not need any additional supplements.
With Ding successfully advancing to the finals, MYST7's morning schedule came to a temporary end.
Although there were other projects going on before the lunch break, they had nothing to do with them.
The afternoon schedule is more compact, and there will be more exciting matches waiting for them.
Members who do not have any competition tasks can move freely, either stay to watch the game or return to the rest area to adjust.
However, Xie Qingyu obviously had no choice. Wei Qianze had already "cuffed" him tightly with his arms, and it seemed that he was going to drag him to cheer for the Eclipse members.
Ding Zai said he wanted to go back to the lounge to change his clothes, as the lining of his sportswear was already soaked with sweat.
After confirming that he did not need to be accompanied, the other members followed Xie Qingyu.
Just like that, Xie Qingyu and several other members, along with Wei Qianze who was ill and had no competition this morning, joined the group.
The group wandered around the venue like street urchins, creating some hilarious incidents wherever they went.
In a blink of an eye, it was lunch time at 11:30.
The program crew prepared boxed lunches for the audience, but everyone knows that these mass-produced boxed lunches are only good enough to fill the stomach, so how can we expect them to be delicious?
This is when the idols’ emotional intelligence is tested. Each group has about 500 fans present. How can they not treat their “breadwinners” well?
The program team specially arranged for idols to participate in the lunch distribution session, and the live broadcast continued during the lunch break. The intention is self-evident.
Even if the idol himself is not thoughtful enough, the management team behind him will never miss the opportunity to show his friendliness.
So along with the meal, each group spontaneously paid for extra meals for their fans out of their own pockets.
Although I can't afford to spend a fortune on Australian lobster and king crab, I can still add a few delicious side dishes.
More attentive groups will also prepare some exquisite snacks.
In addition to adding a few side dishes, MYST7 also prepared small cakes, electrolyte water and fresh cut fruits.
This thoughtfulness is not luxurious, but it takes everything into consideration.
The arrangements for other groups are similar, with only slight differences in product selection.
Obviously everyone maintained rational restraint and did not fall into the vortex of comparison. They struck a perfect balance to ensure that fans enjoyed their meals.
When they saw their idols approaching with the food cart and staff, fans in every area instantly became excited, and the screams that kept rising almost blew the roof of the venue.
"Ah ...
Xie Qingyu looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes landing on the fan who was shouting particularly hard. He raised his hand and waved, not forgetting to shout, "Protect your voice."
The entire MYST7 fan zone was as noisy as boiling water in a frying pan. No, it should be said that at this moment the entire venue was immersed in the fans' excited and agitated voices that were difficult to control.
Xie Qingyu suspected that the girl didn't hear what he said at all. She only saw red eyes and nodded continuously.
Due to limited lunch break time, they were unable to go deep into the audience seats to distribute the food one by one, and more of a symbolic distribution was done in the marginal areas. The food in the inner fields was still provided by the staff.
But even so, the fans are already satisfied. It doesn’t matter whether they have a meal or not, and it doesn’t matter whether they eat or not. The most important thing is to be able to see their idols up close.
"Qingyu Wife! I don't eat eggplant!"
Xie Qingyu was taking lunch boxes from the dining cart when a girl holding a camera suddenly shouted, apparently wanting to record some interactive footage.
He pretended to frown slightly and shook his head: "Don't be picky about food~"
Even so, he still walked around the food cart with eggplants, turned to the other side, tapped the food box with his fingertips, and turned back to ask, "Cauliflower and stir-fried pork, how about that?"
"Ahhh, sure, sure! Anything is fine!"
"I'll eat anything! Can you feed me, baby?!"
"So cute! My wife Qingyu is so cute!"
“…”
Without waiting for the girl to respond, the fans who were always watching his actions would naturally not miss such a good opportunity, and they teased and praised him again.
Xie Qingyu handed over the lunch box only after confirming that the other party nodded.
"Thank you, brother..."
The fan who had just boldly called him "wife" and made a request, suddenly became shy when she took the lunch box. She seemed like a different person, and her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
It's true that the farther away they are, the bolder they are. They dare to say anything and call anyone by any name. But as soon as he gets closer, they become reserved.
A hint of smile flashed across Xie Qingyu's eyes, and she nodded slightly, considerately not exposing her contrast.
After this incident, many "picky eaters" fans suddenly appeared at the scene. Regardless of whether they were real or fake, it seemed that as long as they shouted like this, they could get more special attention from their idols.
Not only Xie Qingyu, but other members also fell into the sweet "siege" of fans.
From the versatile vixen like Gu Qiong to the naive and gullible Xiu Gou like Leo, no one can escape this storm of spoiled children.
Wei Liangchen, Ding Zai and You Jinzhao were still able to bargain with fans with ease, but Bai Lang's aloof face made fans who knew him tactfully only make simple requests.
Only Leo is the most miserable. This straightforward little dog is being coaxed around by his mother fans and sister fans, and is extremely busy.
This "evil trend" quickly spread from the MYST7 fan area.
Fans of other groups immediately got angry when they saw this, saying, "We want to have what other fans have!"
As a result, the trend of comparison that was previously restrained in food has grown wildly in this unexpected area.
And Xie Qingyu, the instigator, simply blinked his eyes that were filled with "I am the most innocent" when facing the pitiful looks from other group members from time to time.
He said that Yu Yuzi is not responsible for this.
