Chapter 36 Rose 'Stowaway'

Venue, Hall 1.

The staff counted the number of people and made sure that all the contestants were present, then emphasized it again.

"Attention, all contestants! There are still many fans lingering outside the venue. We will arrange for everyone to leave in batches, one bus at a time, and no one will be allowed to stop.

It is also not allowed to accept anything from fans during the trip. Once discovered, the production team will deal with it seriously. "

Because this time, in addition to the company's trainees, there are also many contestants who came in through auditions, and they don't know anything.

The program team can only repeatedly emphasize that they must guarantee that the contestants and the program have a relationship of shared success and failure, and there cannot be any mistakes, at least during the recording of the program - no!

The contestants all nodded to show that they understood.

It didn't take long before a staff member came in from outside the door and informed the contestants that they could leave in batches.

This time, the program crew specifically communicated with the driver to park the car very close to the door.

The contestants began to walk out in groups under the guidance of the staff. Xie Qingyu came late and was at the end, so he was allowed to go out in the last group, but this didn't matter to him.

As soon as I followed the staff into the hall, I heard the screams of fans outside the door. It was obvious that there were still a lot of fans lingering outside.

Xie Qingyu turned around and looked at Leo. The brim of his hat covered his eyes, and he could only see him shaking his head slightly.

Then he pushed Xie Qingyu's waist and told him to go ahead.

Because Lin Lulu is a big fan of Xie Qingyu, and tonight is the critical moment when the voting deadline comes.

After dismantling the flower wall, he said hello to Su Mei and returned to the hotel early to "take charge of the situation."

Only Su Mei, because she failed to pick up Xie Qingyu on her way to work in the morning, wanted to stay and pick up someone on her way home from get off work.

She gave him the rose that she thought was the most beautiful, which was left over from when the flower wall was just demolished.

And this time she had a great spot, right at the door against the wall of the venue.

Outside the venue, Su Mei was holding a rose tightly, standing in the gap of the wall, feeling somewhat happy.

However, as batch after batch of contestants came out, her mood gradually changed from initial nervousness and excitement to anxiety.

She kept standing on tiptoe, trying to find Xie Qingyu in the crowd of contestants, and couldn't help wondering in her heart: "Could it be that Qingyubao has already boarded the bus? Didn't I notice?"

Just when she was about to give up, the last batch of contestants finally came out.

Su Mei saw Xie Qingyu at a glance, and her heart instantly rose to her throat.

She desperately pushed the rose in her hand forward, calling out Xie Qingyu's name, trying to explain the origin of the flower.

However, her voice was drowned out by the noisy screams of fans.

Xie Qingyu noticed Su Mei standing by the wall when he was at the door.

She squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, looked at him anxiously, and kept saying something.

As he got closer, he finally heard her voice clearly: "Qing Yubao, this flower is the most beautiful on the wall of flowers. I want to give it to you!"

Xie Qingyu turned around and looked at the staff in the team, put his hand to his lips, and pointed to his ears to indicate that he heard it.

Then, while the staff wasn't paying attention, he quickly took the rose, opened his coat, and carefully hid the flower in his arms.

Seeing this, Leo immediately quickened his pace, walked in front of Xie Qingyu, and blocked the other staff member's sight with his body.

The two cooperated tacitly and successfully "smuggled" Rose into the car.

After getting in the car, Xie Qingyu sat by the window, gently touched the rose in her arms, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Leo sat next to him and said hesitantly in a low voice: "Brother, the staff said you can't accept anything from fans, you..."

Although he helped cover it up, he still felt guilty for having done something wrong.

Xie Qingyu smiled and wanted to tease him.

She deliberately lowered her eyebrows and looked at him sadly: "Are you going to report me to the staff there?"

"How is that possible!"

Leo quickly shook his hands, trying to explain that he didn't mean that, and looked anxiously at Xie Qingyu, who lowered his head and had slightly trembling shoulders.

I wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to begin, and I was afraid of attracting the staff's attention, so I could only apologize quietly...

Suddenly, he heard suppressed laughter and felt something was wrong. He lowered his head to look at Xie Qingyu's face and found that he was not sad at all, but was clearly laughing so hard that his face was shaking. He immediately became angry and embarrassed!

"elder brother!!!"

“Hahahahahahahahahaha”

"From now on I won't pay any attention to you in the dormitory!"

But how could Leo, who is obsessed with his brother, bear to ignore Xie Qingyu?

As soon as the car started, he couldn't help but forgive her easily.

Xie Qingyu turned his head and looked out the window. In the night, the figures of the fans gradually disappeared into the distance, but his heart felt warm, as if it was filled with something.

——

The first performance stage has ended and voting has also closed.

After returning to the base last night, the staff distributed the silver suits that each contestant wore when filming the MV, and notified everyone to put them on the next morning and wait for the broadcast notification in the dormitory.

The contestants speculated that the program team might release the first ranking on the second day after the first public performance.

Early in the morning, the members of Dormitory 122 got up early and the atmosphere was a little tense.

After Liu Xiu packed his luggage, he still ignored everyone else, snorted coldly, and went out to find his friends.

He has had this attitude ever since the five of them came back from filming the spin-off show—

In front of the camera, he was the "best roommate" on "Road to Stardom", but behind the camera, he and his friend Cricket and the other people in the dormitory isolated him and continued to spread the rumor.

Although few people believe it.

When Liu Xiu was leaving, Wei Liangchen couldn't help but want to rush up and argue with him. Xie Qingyu had to pull him back and only let go of his hand after the man had gone far away.

"Hmph..." Wei Liangchen sat on his bed and snorted even longer than Liu Xiu's, obviously very angry.

"You think everyone can't hum, right? I'm humming... You're being sarcastic in the dormitory every day. I'm really fed up with it.

It's not like we don't want him to go, so why don't we go to the production team and ask? I just don't want to endure it!"

As Wei Liangchen spoke, he exaggeratedly imitated Liu Xiu's expression.

Xie Qingyu couldn't help laughing when she saw him.

It's a real loss for the production team that they didn't ask Wei Liangchen to play the princess. What a 'good' acting skill!

Of course, the most important thing is that Wei Liangchen himself is willing. He once boldly stated that he should play the role of the princess instead of Ding Zai, the "rough guy".

The program crew is blind!!

Successfully harvested a big eye roll from the rough guy. Ding.

Ding Zai was sitting on Wei Ran's bed, watching Wei Liangchen go crazy, and couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Come on, the production team obviously arranged this to make us quarrel, and you're still trying to fall into their trap, you idiot?"

It’s so fun to tease Wei Liangchen, he will give you enough emotional value.

How could Wei Liangchen not know the intention of the program team, but he just wanted to vent.

Hearing Ding Zai's "ridicule", he immediately stood up and rushed towards him, trying to press Ding Zai on the bed to "admit defeat".

Seeing this, Wei Ran quickly got up and slipped away, leaving the battlefield to the two of them.

Wei Liangchen fluttered his arms and shouted, "Ding Zai! You can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth, who are you calling a fool?"

"Hahaha, whoever responds to my scolding will get up quickly, the radio is about to sound, and your clothes are wrinkled!" Ding was dodging with a smile.

"I won't! Apologize to me! Apologize quickly!!!" Wei Liangchen refused to give in.

"This is Wei Ran's bed, don't mess it up, Wei Liangchen!"

Din said as he tried to break free.

Watching Wei Liangchen suddenly turn around and look at him with slightly red eyes.

Wei Ran stood aside, shaking his hands helplessly: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys continue, continue!"

After saying that, he made a gesture to invite them in.

Xie Qingyu sat on the stool next to them, watching the two of them fighting and quarreling. Wei Ran wanted to persuade them but didn't dare to step forward, and he couldn't help but smile like an "old father".

It’s great that the children are all healthy and lively!

Gu Zheng was originally leaning against the table with his arms folded, watching the infighting in the dormitory with great interest. When he accidentally caught a glimpse of his expression out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help laughing.

He stood up and waved his hand in front of Xie Qingyu's eyes. When he came back to his senses, he said jokingly, "Do you know what your expression is like right now?"

Xie Qingyu shook his head blankly: "I can't see myself, how can I know?"

"It's like an old man in his seventies or eighties enjoying his grandchildren.

Please, thank you, they are all older than you!

Stop putting on a peaceful face in front of them. I always feel like you're going to say..."

Gu Qi raised an eyebrow and imitated Xie Qingyu's deliberately drawn-out tone: "Oh, Liangchen and Zaizai were fighting today, and Ranran was able to break up the fight on her own! That's great!"

After saying that, he pretended to clap his hands to applaud his own performance.

Xie Qingyu narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled: "Have you ever heard of this saying?"

Gu Zheng shook his head with interest.

"Discord among children in a family is often due to the elders' lack of moral integrity."

Xie Qingyu said slowly, "Your expression right now is exactly like that of an unethical old man who cheers on his children while they fight!"

"All I need is a plate of sunflower seeds..."

After hearing this, Gu Yan was not angry at all. Instead, he nodded happily: "I got it, I got it!"

Xie Qingyu was speechless and choked.

Why didn't I realize this guy had such a bad taste before?

So everyone in dormitory 122 has two different faces?

Or is it that the feng shui of this dormitory is bad?

Yu Yuzi doesn’t understand, Yu Yuzi is speechless!!!

——

Just then, the broadcast sounded, and Qu Qinghuan's voice spread throughout the dormitory building through the loudspeaker.

"All contestants, please change into your uniforms and gather in the auditorium immediately!"

When Wei Liangchen and Ding Zai heard the broadcast, they immediately jumped out of bed and hurriedly tidied Wei Ran's sheets.

Wei Ran stood aside and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I can do it myself!"

But the two of them didn't listen at all, and kept blaming each other while they were cleaning up.

"It's all your fault. You had to make a scene. Your clothes are all wrinkled!"

Ding complained as he smoothed out his uniform.

"Blame me? It was obviously you who provoked me first!"

Wei Liangchen was not willing to be outdone, and patted his clothes hard, trying to smooth out the wrinkles.

Xie Qingyu and Gu Qi stood aside, watching them in such a panic, and couldn't help laughing.

After the three of them finally packed up, the five of them went out to the auditorium together.

The dormitory corridor was empty at this time, with only a few contestants running hurriedly past.

As soon as he opened the door, Xie Qingyu saw Leo and Bai Lang standing at the dormitory door, and the atmosphere was a bit tense.

Leo stood at the door, neither going in himself nor letting Bai Lang in. The air between the two seemed to be frozen.

Wei Liangchen's eyes rolled, and he pushed Xie Qingyu open the door, and an expression of emotion immediately appeared on his face.

He strode forward, put one arm around Leo and the other around Bai Lang, rested his head between the two, and patted their shoulders firmly: "Good brothers, never abandon or give up! Are you getting anxious?"

Leo was nearly injured by his slap. He struggled to break free from his embrace and said angrily, "Who's waiting for you? I'm waiting for my brother!"

After saying that, he took Xie Qingyu's hand, and a bright smile instantly appeared on his face: "Brother, let's go quickly, everyone else has almost gone."

Xie Qingyu nodded with a smile and let Leo pull her forward.

Wei Liangchen was unwilling to give up. He turned and stared at Bai Lang, his tone filled with expectation: "There must be someone waiting for me, right?"

Bai Lang pulled down the hand that was on his shoulder, lowered his eyes to look at the shadows of the two people in front of him cast on the corridor floor by the dim light of morning light, and then quickly looked away.

He raised his chin and nodded at Gu Yan, uttering two words briefly: "Wait for him."

Gu Yan saw through it but didn't say anything. He walked forward with a smile, put his arm around Bai Lang's shoulders, and there was a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"When have we ever been so polite? I'm flattered, flattered, hahaha!"

Bai Lang did not answer, but was silently led forward by Gu Yan.

Keep your eyes down at the ground...

At the end, one could faintly hear Ding Zai's ridicule, Wei Liangchen's argument, and Wei Ran's helpless attempt to dissuade him.

"It's not Wei Liangchen, what's so awesome about you! Little Leo almost got knocked to the ground by you~"

"Ding Zai, you old thief, are you ruining my reputation again?"

"You're blaming me for your bad reputation, aren't you? I don't know who was so shameless to approach you, but no one is waiting for you, hahahahahahaha!!!"

"They're just shy!"

"Do you think I believe it?"

"Stop arguing! The announcement has been on for a long time, and no one's in the dorms anymore. We need to get to the auditorium!"
