Chapter 72 Second Performance 5.0

When Xie Qingyu and Ding returned to dormitory 122, Liu Xiu had already finished washing up and was lying on the bed ready to rest.

Since the other three people had not returned yet, he turned on the lights directly, and the dormitory was bright.

As soon as Ding entered the room, he saw Liu Xiu lying down and couldn't help but start talking to him again.

Smiling, he came over and said, "Xiu'er, do you need Brother Ding's help to coax you to sleep?"

Liu Xiu didn't even turn his head, but turned over to face the wall, raised his hand and gave him the middle finger, and replied with one word without any hesitation: "Get lost!"

"Okay~" Ding Zai responded quickly, turned around and went to get his toiletries, looking like "I'm leaving now."

Xie Qingyu shook his head helplessly. If he stayed in this dormitory every day, he would eventually get wrinkles on his face from laughing.

He was just about to go out with Ding to wash up when he heard two gentle knocks on the door and someone whispered his name outside.

Xie Qingyu turned his head to look at the door in confusion and found that a male staff member was standing outside the door, waving at him.

I wondered if something happened on the Internet today?

Thinking of this, Xie Qingyu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was so skilled in this area that it was heartbreaking.

However, it turned out that he was overthinking it this time.

The staff came to deliver equipment to him, and pulled out the cart behind him, which contained the sparkling water given by the brand when he went out to shoot a commercial today.

Tomorrow is Monday, although only one feature film was aired this week.

The S-level was announced last night, and Xie Qingyu was pulled out to shoot a commercial this morning, but the formal filming will still take a week.

Starting tomorrow, a cameraman will always follow him until the rankings are announced next Saturday or Sunday.

If he is still S-level, the follow-up teacher will continue to follow him. This is the normal resource allocation for S-level.

The staff member explained clearly and left.

In the dormitory, Ding Zai's eyes lit up when he saw the cart of sparkling water:

"What's going on? When did S-level have this hidden privilege? Teacher Gu will be sad!"

Xie Qingyu was called out to shoot the commercial after arriving at the team training room.

So Ding Zai didn't know the specific situation and could only briefly explain to him the source of the sparkling water.

"Um? Brother Qingyu, how does my brother treat you normally?"

Ding Zai winked at Xie Qingyu and made a "drink-drink" gesture, his face full of anticipation.

Xie Qingyu couldn't bear to watch, closed his eyes helplessly, and nodded: "Please enjoy your meal~"

At this time, Liu Xiu also turned over and sat up with sparkling eyes, obviously also very interested in the sparkling water.

Xie Qingyu directly brought a box over and said with a smile: "If it's not enough, there's more over there, drink as much as you want!"

Liu Xiu took the sparkling water, pursed his lips and smiled, revealing his usually inconspicuous dimple: "Thank you."

Seeing this, Ding Zai immediately came over and opened the bottle while shouting exaggeratedly: "It tastes good! Another bottle!"

Seeing Ding in this state, Xie Qingyu quickly pulled him out to wash up. If she didn't take him away, it seemed that he would drink alone until dawn.

After all, it was already very late and everyone had to get up early for training in a few hours. After washing up and returning to the dormitory, the two of them quickly went to bed.

Late at night, when everyone is asleep, the dormitory building at the training base is shrouded in a layer of faint moonlight, appearing exceptionally quiet.

Xie Qingyu lay on the bed, listening to the occasional chirping of insects outside the window, and fell asleep unknowingly.

This was the first time he had slept so soundly since he arrived at the training base. He had no idea when Wei Liangchen, Gu Yan and Wei Ran came back.

In the early morning, before the sun rose fully, the dormitory was still shrouded in a hazy darkness.

When Xie Qingyu woke up, everyone was still asleep. He quietly sat up from the bed, changed his clothes and got out of bed.

Wei Liangchen was still talking in his sleep at this hour. He was curled up in his quilt, mumbling incoherently:

"I was wrong, I was wrong... I never want to rap again..." His voice was filled with a bit of grievance and fatigue, as if he was still being tortured in a dream.

Xie Qingyu pursed her lips, trying hard to suppress her smile. She bent down to pick up the quilt that had fallen on the ground and gently placed it on Wei Liangchen.

"Up so early?"

Gu Qi's voice came from above his head, with a hint of hoarseness and laziness.

He squinted his eyes and looked at his watch. It was not yet half past five.

Last night he forced Wei Liangchen to practice until 2:30 in the morning. Maybe he couldn't bear it anymore and was tortured into a trance.

That stubborn guy finally gave up on his own rap style.

Gu Zheng single-handedly brought him back to the right path - while others were training eagles, he was training Wei Liangchen, and his efforts were not in vain.

"Well, I can't fall asleep even if I lie down any longer."

Xie Qingyu answered in a whisper, so soft it was almost inaudible. He picked up the toiletries he had prepared before bed, quietly opened the door, and walked out of the dormitory.

Gu Yan raised his hand to his face to hide the smile on his lips.

He wanted to tell Xie Qingyu that she didn't need to be so cautious. In dormitory 122, except for him and Xie Qingyu who slept lightly, the other four roommates could sleep soundly even if the sky fell.

However, looking at Xie Qingyu's cautious look, he suddenly found it a little interesting and didn't say anything more.

After washing up, Xie Qingyu ate something in the cafeteria and went straight to the training room.

The training base was exceptionally quiet in the early morning, with only a few athletes hurriedly walking in the corridor, their footsteps echoing in the empty hallway.

The light from the training room shone through the crack in the door, and it was obvious that someone had already started practicing early.

In this talent show, hard work is never a scarce commodity.

Everyone is trying their best, as if anyone who practices for one minute less will be eliminated.

If you work hard, there will be people who work harder than you. If everyone works hard, it all depends on who can persevere longest in the end.

As Xie Qingyu walked to the door of the "Addiction" team's training room, he vaguely heard rustling sounds coming from inside.

Staff usually don't enter the training room when the players are not there. Xie Qingyu was a little confused. He gently grasped the door handle and pressed it slowly, trying not to make any noise.

The crack in the door gradually widened, and a familiar figure came into view.

"Teacher Su?"

Xie Qingyu was a little surprised. The person in the training room was their dance instructor Su Jin, who was also the leader instructor of their group.

“I…” K——!

Su Jin obviously didn't expect someone to come so early. She was startled by Xie Qingyu's voice and almost dropped the things in her hand.

She subconsciously hid the small box in her hand behind her back, but quickly gave up.

I thought I was going to give it to them anyway, so I was too lazy to make it. It just missed the surprise feeling.

"Here, these are the cookies I baked for the contestants in our dance group."

Su Jin handed the box to Xie Qingyu, with a hint of anticipation and uneasiness in her tone.

"Just in time for the Qingyu contestant to arrive, how about trying my cooking first?"

After receiving the notice from the production team last night that they would be here to monitor the entire process today, she thought that the contestants had nothing to eat in the training base and were all sinners.

I learned how to make some cream cookies overnight, although the process was not very pleasant.

But she was already very satisfied with the results she got on her first try, and now the three boxes left are what she considers to be the most perfect finished products.

Xie Qingyu looked down at the biscuits in the box. The packaging was beautiful, but the biscuits inside were a little... hard to describe.

I don’t know if it was because the fire was too big, but the inside of the box was pitch black.

The burnt edges and slightly distorted shape make it difficult to associate them with "cookies".

He looked up at Su Jin, who was looking at him expectantly, as if waiting for his evaluation.

In order not to let his mentor down, Xie Qingyu gritted his teeth, picked up the smallest biscuit, and took a small bite.

With just one bite, Xie Qingyu felt like his scalp was about to explode.

The bitter taste was like an electric current, instantly rushing from the tip of the tongue to the top of the head, followed by a sour and numb feeling spreading in the mouth, as if every taste bud was protesting.

What's worse is that a strong smell of milk rushed to his palate, making him almost unable to resist the urge to retch.

Xie Qingyu tried hard to control his expression and swallowed the whole mouthful. His throat felt like it was burned by fire and was burning.

"Teacher Su, the taste... is very special." Xie Qingyu forced a smile, his voice a little weak, but he tried to keep his tone sincere.

Su Jin's eyes lit up, and she was clearly confident in her "masterpiece." "Really? That's great! I was worried I wouldn't get the heat right."

As she spoke, she enthusiastically picked out a larger biscuit from the box and handed it to Xie Qingyu.

"Here, try this one. I baked it a little longer, so it should be more fragrant!"

Xie Qingyu looked at the biscuit, which was even darker than before, and felt a pang of fear in his heart.

The edges of the biscuits were burnt and hard, and the surface was covered with a strange oily sheen, as if issuing a silent challenge to him.

He swallowed subconsciously, the bitter taste in his throat had not completely dissipated.

"Thank you, Teacher Su. I...I'll eat later. I just finished breakfast and I'm still a little full."

Xie Qingyu managed to squeeze out a few words, his tone filled with a hint of apology and a desire to survive.

Su Jin nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll distribute it to the other contestants when they come.

I prepared this especially for you. You've all worked hard in training, so have some cookies to replenish your energy!"

Xie Qingyu secretly worried for the other team members, but he couldn't help but silently said in his heart: I would rather die than let my fellow Taoist die!

At the same time, he maintained a polite smile on his face: "Teacher Su is really thoughtful, everyone will definitely be touched."

After saying that, Xie Qingyu quickly put down her bag, pretended to pack her things, and then walked out of the room calmly.

His steps seemed calm, but in fact, every step was filled with the urgency of escaping.

It was not until he walked out of the training room that Xie Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had survived a life-and-death test.

Yu Yuzi has already decided that she will never step into this room again until the other "victims (crossed out)" teammates arrive!!!
