Chapter 205 "TOP IDOL" in progress 11.0

As soon as Xie Qingyu and his group sat down in the rest area, Wei Qianze came over again without anyone noticing, and brought Eclipse lead singer Yan Zhiyou with him.

The two of them sat down in the MYST7 area with familiarity, not considering themselves outsiders at all.

Now that's a problem. There aren't many members in the Eclipse team to begin with. Once the two of them left, only three lonely elderly people were left in the rest area.

Ange looked at the bustling MYST7 area not far away, then looked at his teammates who were playing with their mobile phones. He held his forehead helplessly, thinking that he couldn't keep his son when he grew up!

How about the three of them go over and join in the fun?

On the other side, Wei Qianze pointed at the fever-reducing patch on Xie Qingyu's forehead and asked curiously, "Yubao, what is that?"

Quite cute!

Xie Qingyu glanced at him suspiciously. How could he not see such an obvious thing?

But seeing the innocent and clear eyes of the other party, he silently withdrew his doubts.

He tilted his head and smiled sweetly: "This is a cooling patch~"

Makeup artist, you are lying to me. Didn’t you say that it can’t be seen?

Just now, he was seen clearly by fans from such a distance when he entered the venue, and they kept looking over his head from time to time. Now, he was pointed out in front of them.

Wei Qianze was lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking about, and did not respond immediately.

Yan Zhiyou, who had only nodded and greeted her since she came over, pursed her lips and chuckled, then asked slowly, "Is it hot?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice. The venue's air conditioning was just right, so why did she need a cooling patch?

Xie Qingyu subconsciously touched the corners of her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering twice: "Should, should there be a little?"

The uncertainty in his tone was almost overflowing.

Yan Zhiyou glanced at the MYST7 members around him who had smiles in their eyes, and immediately understood what was going on. However, he just curled the corners of his mouth meaningfully and did not expose this little liar.

At nine o'clock sharp, the live broadcast officially began.

MYST7 did not sign up for the first competition, but for the sake of the show's effect, Gu Qiong still took the entire team to the viewing area to support.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the second game - Xie Qingyu's high jump preliminary round.

He needs to follow the staff to change into the numbered vests that distinguish the contestants.

"Is it really okay?"

Wei Liangchen put away his unreliable and nonchalant attitude and looked quite serious.

As an athlete who also registered for the high jump event, he was standing side by side with Xie Qingyu in the waiting area.

In the viewing area not far away, teammates' eyes were always following this side.

Xie Qingyu had already removed the fever-reducing patch, and the medicine he had taken in advance had also taken effect.

It’s not that he got better immediately, but the symptoms did ease a lot. He shook his head slightly to indicate that he was in good condition.

Cheng Du, who was standing nearby, heard the entire conversation.

Previously, when Wei Qianze took Yan Zhiyou to the MYST7 area, he did not go with them. It was not because he was introverted. After all, there was another Yan Laosi in the team who was even more reclusive than him.

The real reason started from our first dinner together.

At that time, he smelled a hint of danger from Xie Qingyu, especially when Yan Zhiyou took the initiative to approach him, this feeling of uneasiness became even stronger.

Over the past few days, he has been secretly watching as an observer, and gradually discovered that this seemingly gentle young man is actually the same type of person as himself.

It’s just that Xie Qingyu’s disguise is more sophisticated.

What hidden thoughts lie beneath that gentle exterior? Have his teammates, who spend every day with him, also noticed this incongruity?

Cheng Du rubbed his fingers, a glimmer of inquiry in his eyes.

This mysterious boy really makes people want to find out more.

Xie Qingyu keenly sensed a burning gaze and turned to meet Cheng Du's gaze.

He nodded and smiled politely, then looked away. He maintained his opinion of this person and still didn't want to have too much in-depth contact with him. It was too dangerous. Xie Qingyu didn't like walking on a tightrope.

Cheng Du also responded with a gentle smile, but lowered his eyes at an angle that the camera couldn't capture, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

Interesting, really interesting. Was the other party deliberately avoiding him?

This discovery made the curve of his mouth deepen a little.

The brief eye contact between the two was captured by the live broadcast camera that was always focused on the contestants' waiting area.

Although this eye contact was just an ordinary nod, like a casual glance at a familiar person on the street.

But the audience obviously had their own speculations and different opinions about the two people's seemingly "familiar" attitude, and began to interpret it crazily:

[Hey, why do Xie CC and Cheng Lao San seem so familiar with each other? Do they have any connection?]

[I don't know, but didn't Young Master Wei organize a dinner party with the E and God groups before? I think they met at that time.]

[Alas, we can only see the relationships between friends in the circle through the camera. What kind of relationships are there in private can only be guessed.]

[But the way they look at each other really feels familiar.]

[Something's wrong with me. This eye contact is so intense! Two gentle people colliding to create such a strong tension.]

[Right, right, right. And it feels like when they stare at each other, the surrounding magnetic field can hardly blend in. It feels like they are evenly matched!]

[So weird, take another look]

[Who in my family understands? It's like two clear streams meeting and suddenly turning into a rapids and dangerous shoals.]

[No, I just can't understand how two seemingly harmless people can give people the feeling of hidden ulterior motives. I'm really crazy!]

[This was a feeling Xie CC had never experienced before when standing with anyone else. The two of them... repelled each other!!!]

[That’s the taste. I just want to say there’s an indescribable feeling. It turns out it’s like this: one is as inclusive as water, the other is as invisible as the wind, but together they seem to be competing.]

[Hehehe, I just want to say, it’s delicious!]

[As expected, following Xie CC is a great way to enjoy Xipi. I’m no longer in a state of hunger and fullness. I can enjoy Xipi wherever I go and enjoy everything!]

Xie Qingyu naturally had no idea that the ordinary eye contact between him and Cheng Du had already played out an eight hundred rounds of love-hate relationship in the audience's hearts.

At this moment he is concentrating on warming up. The rules of high jump are very simple. The initial order is still determined by drawing lots. In subsequent rounds, the jumps are conducted in reverse order of scores, and those with the worst scores jump first.

The referee will announce the initial height before the competition. After each round, the bar will be raised by at least 2 cm. There will be three trial jumps at each height. Contestants can choose whether to try the jump. If they fail three times in a row, they will be eliminated.

Because it is a preliminary round, there is no requirement to jump to the end, as long as enough people are eliminated.

Xie Qingyu opened the note he had drawn and saw that it was number 1, which meant that he would be the first to jump.

This result actually made him feel relieved. Given his current physical condition, a quick victory was the best strategy.

"The initial height is 1.5 meters. Do you want to try jumping?" the referee asked.

Xie Qingyu shook his head slightly and chose to jump officially.

As the whistle sounded, the slightly thin figure rushed towards the crossbar like an arrow.

The moment he approached, he jumped lightly and completed a standard back-over.

The audience only felt a flash before their eyes, as if they saw a white crane with its wings spread, flying over the horizontal bar and landing lightly on the cushion.

Although a height of 1.5 meters doesn't seem very high, it's too easy to jump.

[Shit, did he just… did he just fly over there?]

[And the posture is very standard, with the back far enough away from the bar, which means there is still a lot of strength left.]

[Thank you, CC. I just want to ask, is there anything else he can't do?]

[His jumping ability is amazing, he's such a light person.]

[The expressions of the spectators in the competition area next to me are just like mine, hahaha]

[I feel like this competition is pointless. I'm incredibly strong right now. Anyone want to make a bet? I bet Xie CC will take first place!]

[Oh my god, it feels like the person who is determined to get first place can always get first place wherever he goes. So strong!]

[His strength is clear, and his ranking is arbitrary, but anyone with a discerning eye can tell which position he is aiming for.]

[The fear of being dominated by Xie CC during the audition came back again!]

Xie Qingyu slowly stood up from the mat and brushed off the non-existent dust from the corner of his clothes.

After completing the first jump, Xie Qingyu quietly returned to the waiting area and waited for other contestants to complete the jump of the initial height.

People who signed up for the high jump event were not trying to embarrass themselves. Plus, there were three trial jumps, and all the contestants passed the 1.5-meter height.

It's just through the posture...it's different. After all, the program team did not specify the high jump posture. In addition to the most common back-flip style like Xie Qingyu, there are also idols who choose other postures.

The most eye-catching among them is Wei Liangchen.

He seemed to be running normally when he was about to take off, but when he jumped, he suddenly used his hands and feet together and managed to jump over the bar in a strange posture that looked like both a leap and a frog jump.

The referee couldn't help but rub his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things.

Xie Qingyu was also a little confused as to why he could always find strange angles, such as the doggy paddle for swimming and the four-legged leap for high jump. The key point was that Xie Qingyu had seen him in training before, and it was true that the other party performed better in weird postures than in regular ones, which was very strange.

[Jiu Min! Wei Liangchen, where's your idol image?!]

[This is so funny! Wei Liangchen, who gave you permission to use your handsome face like this?!]

Is this a leap forward? It's a bit like that, but I'm not sure.

[Looks like a shaman dance]

[That's right, hahahaha! This is just my exclusive secret technique: Wei's Flying Technique.]

[This is really quite debilitating. I feel like I could fall head over heels at any moment.]

[Such a handsome face with such magical movements, what's the inexplicable feeling?]

[The camera turns to see Xie CC's face, hesitant to speak, and I want to laugh even more]

[Xie CC: I don’t know this teammate]

[Xie Qingyu is so mean. He thinks he’s handsome all by himself, but he doesn’t care about his teammates’ lives?!]

[Please be aware that Xie CC is just a teammate, not his mother, so I can't control so much, okay?]

[And how do you know I haven’t tried to persuade you?]

"Benefactor, how are you?"

Wei Liangchen didn't even try jumping, so he passed it in one try. After landing, he shook his head and stood up in a posture that he thought was very handsome. As soon as he returned to the waiting area, he raised his face to Xie Qingyu with a look of seeking praise.

Xie Qingyu naturally couldn't break his confidence as they were still in the competition, but at the same time, she didn't want to go against her own heart. She pretended to cover her lips and coughed twice before saying, "There's progress."

What he said was the truth. Wei Liangchen's posture was obviously weirder than during training.

After the initial height jump, the horizontal bar began to rise gradually. Xie Qingyu was extremely relaxed from beginning to end. Every jump he took was as if it had been carefully calculated.

——The run-up, the jump, the pole, the landing, even the arc of the raised corner of the clothes are just right, as if everything is under control.

However, only he himself knew that as the competition progressed, even though he had skipped the trial jumps and saved a lot of energy, his limbs felt heavier and heavier as if they were filled with lead.

Perhaps the effect of the medicine began to wear off, or perhaps the illness recurred. At this moment, he had to concentrate fully to maintain a perfect performance.

This extreme concentration makes him inadvertently exude an aura that is completely different from his usual one.

Although there was still that signature gentle smile on his lips, there was a frightening gleam in his bright eyes.

Like a sharp sword drawn three-quarters of the way out of its sheath, danger is hidden within its elegance.

A perceptive audience member in the live broadcast room pointed this out in confusion.

[Hmm? I feel like Xie CC is a little scary for some reason.]

[What's scary? Who is being scared by Shunmao Yu being so cute?]

[Don't be too ridiculous. Black people just go by their feelings now, right?]

[He's in great shape, very relaxed, I love him.]

[Don't scold me, I also have this feeling for some reason. I feel like I'm smiling, but people don't dare to approach me. I feel like a dormant beast that can suddenly attack and hurt people at any time.]

[Is it normal to be more focused during a game?]

[What's dangerous? Who's in danger? I think Cat Yu is more dangerous. He's so cute, come here and give Mommy a kiss.]

[His eyes are shining, he's quietly daydreaming beside me. So cute, I want to rub him~]

Because Xie Qingyu showed it very lightly, only a very small number of people noticed it, and most of the audience suspected that these viewers had read the comments wrongly.

The final cut-off height for the preliminary round was 1.66 meters, which was enough to eliminate the contestants. The remaining six idols successfully advanced to the finals. Xie Qingyu, Cheng Du, and... Wei Liangchen, although his posture was a little weird, advanced smoothly.

The moment he heard his name, Xie Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief almost imperceptibly.

Only then did he realize that a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out of his back, his temples were throbbing, and his body was feeling very uncomfortable.

But no matter what, the morning task has been successfully completed, so it’s not a big problem. The next step is to watch the Velléa show in the evening.
