Lin Qingyan's training has been going smoothly these past few days. Her body has begun to adapt, and her singing and dancing abilities have recovered about 70% of what they were in her previous life. At least the rest will take more time.
Tomorrow is the interview day, and he is confident about it because he was quite interested in this show in his previous life and watched every episode. So he knows the average level of the contestants, and his current ability is definitely above average.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be selected.
However, when Lin Qingyan learned that Gu Fei was going on a business trip out of town for a week, his excitement subsided, and he felt a little disappointed. In the past two weeks since his rebirth, he had been with Gu Fei.
He couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart; he felt a little lost and reluctant to part with her. He had unknowingly gotten used to having Gu Fei by his side.
Even though the man was a man of few words and often wore a face that said "keep away," Lin Qingyan felt safe when she was with him.
Assistant Yang Jing and the driver were already waiting outside the villa.
Lin Qingyan escorted Gu Fei to the door. Although she felt a little disappointed, she still smiled and said, "Brother Fei, be careful on the road."
Gu Fei handed the suitcase to the driver, turned around and stood facing the boy, leaning slightly forward to look him in the eye. "Do you remember when you asked me why I let you join Yihua Entertainment?"
Lin Qingyan looked at the man's handsome and mature face with some confusion, then met his deep and gentle eyes. He heard the man say, "Because you have this ability."
A faint smile appeared on Gu Fei's expressionless face, like a spring breeze melting the frozen snowfields and sprouting tender yellow-green buds. (Original URL)
Lin Qingyan stared blankly, momentarily speechless.
Gu Fei's smile deepened, tinged with helplessness and an indescribable mix of emotions. Even his usually calm eyes were filled with laughter. He leaned slightly closer to the boy and whispered, "What are you daydreaming about? What should you be saying to me?"
"Huh?" Lin Qingyan was caught off guard, his ears quickly turning red. He instinctively tried to push back, but failed because his waist was caught by a strong and powerful arm, and then he fell into a large and warm embrace.
Gu Fei's voice rang in his ears. He said, "Kid, good luck tomorrow."
The farewell hug lasted only two seconds before Gu Fei released the person in his arms. Under Assistant Yang's incredulous gaze, the man turned around, calmly opened the car door, and finally got in.
"..." Assistant Yang closed his mouth, still looking incredulous, and said tremblingly to the clean-cut and handsome young man in front of him, "Um, Young Master Lin... we'll be going now, please go back."
Lin Qingyan's mind went blank for a moment, "...Hmm."
He stood there, watching the black car gradually shrink until it disappeared around the corner. His heart was beating faster than usual, and even the tip of his heart felt hot.
Gu Fei is such a cheat...
On the way to the airport, Assistant Yang, sitting in the passenger seat, secretly glanced at his boss, Mr. Gu, who was always stern and unapproachable in the company. He seemed to be in a good mood, and his eyebrows and eyes were much softer.
However, what happened next was even more surprising.
Gu Fei looked down at his phone screen for about ten seconds, then suddenly smiled. Although it wasn't a very obvious smile, he really smiled!
And it was that kind of smile that made one's heart flutter with spring fever, that kind of smile that seemed to indicate that spring had arrived and one was about to fall in love.
Assistant Yang cursed under his breath, his skin crawling with goosebumps. Just as he was wondering if he was hallucinating, he met his boss's calm eyes and calm face, as if what he had just seen was indeed a hallucination.
...
Assistant Yang silently turned his head away, sat up straight, and didn't dare to look back even once during the rest of the journey. Although he was a middle-aged man who had seen a lot in his life, the scene he had just witnessed was still hard for him to process.
He suddenly remembered Gu Ye's abnormal behavior over the past two weeks. This man, who used to be a workaholic who stayed at the company almost every day to work overtime, had significantly reduced his overtime hours in the past two weeks and was unusually punctual in leaving get off work.
Even if there's still work to be done, Mr. Gu will take it home to handle.
The gossipy colleagues at the company were all discussing why Master Gu had become like this. The first factor they ruled out was that he was in a relationship, and the second factor they ruled out was that he had gone off to save the world. The final conclusion they came to was, well... there was no conclusion.
Assistant Yang realized that he seemed to have guessed some earth-shattering secret: the rumored cold and aloof Master Gu might actually be... in love?
And his romantic partner is a clean-cut and handsome boy?
Hold? !
Of course, Master Gu had no idea what his subordinate was thinking. He lowered his eyes and continued looking at his phone. The screen displayed a WeChat chat interface, and a message had been sent a minute earlier by a contact whose contact name was Yan Yan:
—Brother Fei, I forgot to mention earlier, I'll miss you.
Seemingly feeling that it was too serious, Lin Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then sent over another emoji—a little cat shaking its head, with round eyes and a round face that was especially cute.
It doesn't have any special meaning; young people these days like to use emojis when chatting.
Of course, those who usually contact Gu Fei are all his subordinates and they only talk about business. No one would dare to send this kind of emoji to this cold-faced boss unless they had a change of heart.
Of course, he would also send them when his friends chatted with him, especially An Yu. However, the pictures that An Ershao sent were all the kind that were cheeky and looked particularly irritating. Gu Fei thought about their friendship of so many years and refrained from blocking him.
At that very moment, with a cold and aloof expression, Master Gu read the two messages the boy had sent over and over again before finally replying with a single word: "Hmm."
After a two-second pause, his long, slender fingers typed three words on the phone's keyboard and clicked send.
Gu Fei: Me too.
On the other side, the boy, who was also looking at his phone, was feeling uneasy. But when he saw the three words the man had sent, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and his peach blossom eyes curved into crescent shapes.
Does this mean... Gu Fei will also miss him?

"Teacher An, I heard you went back to Nancheng these past few days? Well, our program team starts interviewing contestants tomorrow. If you have some free time, would you be interested in watching?"
The caller was the assistant director of the Tomorrow's Stars program. An Jing thought about his schedule for tomorrow and realized he was indeed free in the afternoon. He was always serious and responsible about his work, and as the producer of the program, it wouldn't hurt to go and check on him.
"Sure, I'm free this afternoon. Send me the time and location. Um... goodbye."
As soon as An Jing hung up the phone, An Nanyi, who was sitting next to him eating snacks and watching a movie, came over. He had been watching closely. "Big brother, are you going to the interview for Tomorrow's Stars tomorrow?"
An Jing replied, "I remember your interview is the day after tomorrow?"
This show has a large investment and attracts a lot of attention. The lineup of mentors alone is enough to draw attention, so there are a lot of people applying. The production team selects 1,000 trainees from the many applicants and conducts interviews. Only 88 trainees who pass the interviews can officially participate in the show, and in the end, only 8 people can debut as a group.
Because of the large number of applicants, the interview process will take ten days.
Annan's interview was scheduled for the next day.
“Yes, my interview is the day after tomorrow.” An Nanyi said with a smile, “Brother, do you remember that high school classmate of mine named Lin Qingyan that I mentioned a few days ago? He has an interview tomorrow, you might see him.”
"I really hope Yan Yan can pass, so we can train together. It sounds great." As he spoke, he frowned in annoyance and muttered to himself with some doubt, "But I've never heard of him being able to sing or dance. Why would he suddenly participate in a talent show?"
Upon hearing this, An Jing frowned almost imperceptibly. "Nan Nan, are you very close to that Lin Qingyan?"
“Yes, we were good friends in high school.” He sighed, somewhat regretfully, “It’s a pity he dropped out of school in his senior year.”
An Jing: "Hmm? Why?"
An Nanyi rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, "Hmm... I'm not really sure either. People say he got into fights with thugs from outside the school and behaved inappropriately, but I believe he's not that kind of person. It's just hearsay."
After listening, An Jing pursed her lips slightly, her sharp eyebrows furrowing even more deeply.
Seeing his older brother's current appearance, An Nanyi subtly curled his lips, a hint of pleasure flashing deep in his eyes.
He wasn't particularly interested in the talent show "Tomorrow's Stars" at first, but he recently learned by chance that Lin Qingyan had joined Yihua Entertainment and was preparing to participate in the show.
An Nanyi has a close friend who is a trainee at Yihua Entertainment and will also be participating in Tomorrow's Stars' audition. This news was told to him by his friend.
That classmate complained to Ananyi that a trainee suddenly came to the company and was given a spot in the talent show audition as soon as he arrived.
Not only that, the newcomer is also very close to Lu Yuqi, the heir of Yihua. It's obvious that he got in through connections. His classmate said disdainfully, "So what if he's good-looking? What's so great about that?"
Annan casually asked how good-looking she was.
His classmate sent him a photo, which was taken secretly and was a bit blurry, but he recognized it at a glance—it was Lin Qingyan.
Lin Qingyan, it's Lin Qingyan again!
Why does it keep haunting me?
An Jing is the producer of the show. If Lin Qingyan really passes the interview... An Nanyi can't imagine it. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, he won't allow it to happen.
That's why he decided to participate in this talent show as well.
