"How's the investigation going with the task I assigned you?"
“Master Gu, I asked the neighbors of Lin Jianxiang and Zhou Yuelan, and they all said that their eldest son was born in the hospital after Zhou Yuelan carried him for ten months.”
"Therefore, Lin Qingyan was not adopted midway through life. Zhou Yuelan should have given birth to a child back then. I suspect that this matter is related to the hospital where Zhou Yuelan gave birth back then. It is under investigation, but nineteen years have passed, so the investigation is somewhat difficult and will take time."
Upon hearing this, Gu Fei remained silent for a moment. He had initially thought that Lin Qingyan was adopted, but the situation now seemed more complicated than he had imagined. Where was Zhou Yuelan's biological child? Why had it become Lin Qingyan, who was not related to her by blood?
Gu Fei asked, "Which hospital did Zhou Yuelan give birth to back then?"
The person on the other end said, "South City First People's Hospital."
Gu Fei nodded and said, "If you need any help, just let me know."
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Fei glanced at his watch; it was already 8 PM. He closed his work page on his computer and opened a video website. The homepage carousel was showing the second episode of Tomorrow's Stars.
He skillfully opened the video.
The first episode of "Tomorrow's Stars" received a very positive response and caused quite a stir, so when the second episode was released, many eager viewers immediately clicked on it. (Original URL: [link to original post])
【Here it comes!】
Seven years have passed, and it's finally updated!
[Go, arrogant king and silly beauty!!]
The main content of the second episode was the theme song assessment. The mentors announced the assessment content and rules, and the contestants practiced according to the class assignments from the previous episode.
What viewers are most looking forward to is who will get the center position.
[Blind guess: Lu Yuqi; his strength is the most outstanding.]
[Yan Yan is pretty good too, he has a cool guy to carry him!]
Come on, has everyone forgotten that Lin Qingyan messed up all the moves in her first stage performance?
During the group practice, the seven students in Class A were naturally the most skilled. While Classes C and D were still confused by the complex dance moves, the students in Class A had already mastered the dance.
Lin Qingyan and Lu Yuqi practiced together. Lu Yuqi was the fastest, while Lin Qingyan was a little behind, but she was also learning very quickly.
Lin Qingyan on the screen was wearing a sky-blue training uniform, just like the other contestants, but he always managed to attract more attention. The sweat-drenched boy practiced in front of the wall mirror in the practice room, his movements still a bit clumsy and awkward, repeating the same actions over and over again.
Sweat soaked the boy's bangs, sticking messily to his forehead. Large beads of sweat slid down his clearly defined jawline, down his Adam's apple, and into his collarbone. His face, without makeup and completely bare, was clean and delicate, and the sweat-drenched appearance revealed a unique kind of sexiness.
Lin Qingyan stopped what she was doing, casually brushed her sweaty bangs aside, and at that moment the post-production team gave a close-up shot, exposing her entire face to the camera without reservation.
[Holy crap, this is a beauty overload! I can't take it! Honey!]
[Aaaaaah, I'm dead! The editing is amazing, they know exactly what we like to watch!]
[The key is that she's completely makeup-free! Her skin is amazing—fair, smooth, and dewy. And her eyes, nose, mouth, and little face... I just want to hug her and kiss her!]
Am I the only one focusing on how quickly Yan Yan learns and how well she dances?
Lin Qingyan nudged Lu Yuqi's arm. "Yuqi, there's a move I just can't seem to learn. Can you teach me?"
"Okay, show me how you do it."
“Raise your left hand a little higher, um…yes, that’s it.” Lu Yuqi stood behind Lin Qingyan and corrected his movements, adding at the end, “Next time if you don’t know something, just come to me. Don’t try to figure it out on your own.”
"I wasn't being silly."
The arrogant king is giving one-on-one online lessons, and netizens are excited, saying they're totally shipping him. Only a certain CEO surnamed Gu in front of the screen pursed his lips in displeasure, thinking that he hadn't kicked him hard enough back then.
[Ahhh, I'm totally shipping them! Lu Yuqi's boyfriend charm is off the charts, isn't it? Yan Yan is so cute!]
They're such a perfect couple, I'm totally hooked!
Gu Fei coldly turned off the bullet comments.
Practice sessions lasted from day to night, until two or three in the morning. Many people were still training in the dance studio, and in the end, only two people remained in Class A's classroom.
The night outside the window was fading.
Lu Yuqi was so exhausted that he lay down on the floor.
Lin Qingyan was still dancing, his training clothes soaked with sweat. He didn't know how many times he had danced this dance. Finally, he couldn't help but lie down. In the quiet dance studio, the boy's rapid breathing could be heard.
Although he was very tired, he had a contented smile on his face, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to be adorned with stars, even brighter than the night sky outside the window.
For Lin Qingyan, being able to work hard for his dream is a happy thing. No matter how hard or tiring it is, he enjoys every moment of his efforts here and cherishes this opportunity.
[Sobbing, I don't know why, but I'm so moved by this.]
[It's not just Lin Qingyan and Lu Yuqi, everyone works so hard, my opinion of this show has changed]
[Yan Yan is truly deserving of such a good reputation. He's handsome, has a great personality, and works so hard. I love him so much!]
Just as netizens were deeply moved, Lin Qingyan suddenly looked down and sniffed herself, immediately frowning in disgust, "You stink..."
Hahaha, although I was very touched, I still couldn't help laughing.
[The Foolish Beauty Lives Up to Her Name]
[Lin Qingyan got way too much screen time, why did Nan Nan get so little screen time this episode? It's ridiculous.]
Lin Qingyan did get more screen time than in the first episode, but it was definitely not because the director had a relationship with Gu Fei that he got more screen time. Gu Fei said that fairness and impartiality were the principles.
The real reason is that Lin Qingyan's fan base grew the most after the first episode aired. This kid is very popular with the audience and is loved by fans. Although he doesn't have many fans at the moment, his fan base is growing fast. I believe that after a while, his fan base will surpass Lu Yuqi's.
So, if the camera doesn't focus on him, who should it focus on?
Lu Yuqi also gets a lot of screen time, but since the two of them are always together, they get even more screen time.
As for Annan's screen time, there wasn't much in this episode.
As for the reason... it's a long story.
The video edited later showed Lu Yuqi as the first to pass the assessment, with An Nanyi not involved. Lin Qingyan came in third, and footage of him and Lu Yuqi teaching the D-class contestants was also included.
[I guessed right, Lu Yuqi is indeed in the center position.]
[Yan Yan did very well, coming in third place. Hard work always pays off. Those who said he wasn't good enough have been proven wrong, haven't they?]
[They even coached the students in Class D! That's wonderful! Mom loves you all!]
On the other hand, An Nanyi's fans were unhappy. Why did others get so much screen time while Nan Nanyi got so little? However, when they saw that An Nanyi hadn't even passed the theme song assessment, everyone was a little confused.
What happened? Annan Yi failed the test? His abilities can't be that bad, can they?
[Nan Nan got sick during the assessment period, so she didn't participate, which is probably why she had less screen time.]
Yes, I just saw it on Weibo too. If Nan Nan hadn't gotten sick, his ranking would definitely have been much better, no worse than some other people!
...
After the show aired, several more trending topics appeared, including those related to Lin Qingyan, Lu Yuqi, and even some that the show's producers had bought. Of course, Lin Qingyan earned his place on the trending list through his own merit, and his fan base grew significantly.
I initially started watching this show because of Cynthia, but I ended up becoming a fan of Lin Qingyan. He's so handsome, oh my god!
[I don't want to be a fan of him, but who doesn't love a cute but clumsy beauty? Who doesn't love a cute but clumsy beauty who is good-looking, talented, hardworking, kind-hearted, and helpful?]
[Please vote for Yan Yan!]
...
An Nanyi looked at the comments from netizens on Weibo and unconsciously gripped his phone tighter. He didn't understand why so many people liked Lin Qingyan, while he himself barely got any screen time.
Although no one said it outright, everyone was secretly discussing why Annanyi failed the assessment. Although he did pretend to be sick and lay in bed for two days, which could fool the audience, the trainees who trained with him did not believe it.
"Nan Nan, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you or not..." Liu Yang looked somewhat troubled, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
An Nanyi put down her phone. "What is it?"
Liu Yang leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Everyone's saying behind your back that you got your grades canceled because you cheated. I don't believe it. They've really gone too far. How could they say that about you!"
"Who said that?" An Nanyi's expression was rather unpleasant.
Liu Yang: "I don't know either."
An Nan was in a state of utter confusion. He suddenly remembered that Lu Yuqi and Lin Qingyan had been openly and subtly mocking him before...
"It's just a rumor, anyway, I believe you!"
"The setlist for the performance will be announced soon, let's go over there first."
Annan nodded, deep in thought.
After the theme song assessment, it will be the first public performance. Members of Class A can choose their favorite performance songs to form a team first, then Class B will be chosen, and Class D will be chosen last.
Lin Qingyan chose "The Whale That Became an Island," a song he personally liked and one that suited his style. Lu Yuqi also chose the same song, so the two became a pair.
Lin Qingyan was still a little surprised. He thought Lu Yuqi would choose a more energetic song, which was his style. However, the young master Lu just put his hands in his pockets and said nonchalantly, "I want to change my style. It's no fun doing the same thing all the time."
Lin Qingyan said, "That's true."
However, to their surprise, Annan also chose this song. Although he failed the theme song assessment, he was in Class B and ranked quite high.
Everyone made their own choice and had no right to refuse, so Lin Qingyan could only calmly accept this fact.
An Nanyi seemed quite happy, and said with a smile, "Yuqi, Yan Yan, we're on the same team now, let's work hard together from now on."
Lu Yuqi smiled enigmatically, "You need to work harder."
Annan said, "Yes, my strength is indeed not as good as yours, but I will work harder so as not to hold you back."
Lu Yuqi said, "Indeed."
