He Yu's low voice came from above his head, and Luo Shixi could feel the slight vibration of his chest when he spoke.
"How are you?"
Luo Shixi was silent for a while in He Yu's arms, then he shook his head, supported himself on the other's body with his hands, and moved away from the embrace that smelled like a mixture of tobacco and lemon.
"Thank you, Professor He. I just feel dizzy." He said, holding on to the wall for a while. His heartbeat had gradually calmed down, but he still felt uncomfortable.
With his arms empty, He Yu put down his arms. Seeing that Luo Shixi looked really bad, he asked him, "Have you often felt dizzy before? Why don't you go back to the dormitory to rest, or go to the infirmary to see a doctor?"
"It's hypoglycemia. I guess it's related to the fact that I didn't eat well today." After Luo Shixi finished speaking, he looked up and found that everyone was looking at him, especially Chen Yiming, who looked guilty, as if he was the one who made him feel uncomfortable.
Sangsang asked worriedly, "Xiaoxi, are you okay? Are you still feeling bad now?"
Luo Shixi hurriedly said: "I'm really fine now, I just felt a little dizzy just now."
"Go sit aside and rest for a while." Seeing this, He Yu asked Luo Shixi to sit aside.
Luo Shixi shook his head: "I'll go to another room so as not to delay everyone's class."
He Yu looked up and found that everyone was looking at them, so he said, "You go to class first."
Jiang Jing clapped her hands in front of them to draw everyone's attention back: "Everyone, continue practicing."
He Yu helped Luo Shixi find an empty practice room and asked him to sit in the corner.
Luo Shixi sat down against the wall, took a deep breath, and a lemon-flavored hard candy was handed to him.
"Thank you...Teacher He?" He looked up from the hand holding the candy, but saw He Yu's face.
"I only have this one, is it enough?" He Yu pursed his lips.
He just searched all over his body, but only found this one.
"That's enough. Thank you, Mr. He."
He Yu actually carries candy with him?
Luo Shixi took it in a daze, tore open the package and put it in his mouth. The strong lemon flavor instantly filled his entire mouth.
Luo Shixi's face was distorted.
So fucking sour!
This is too sour!
With shaking hands, he flattened the small piece of wrapping paper and placed it in front of his eyes. On it were four big characters: Extra Strong and Sour. There was also a big smiley face drawn next to it, as if mocking Luo Shixi's current unfortunate situation.
Luo Shixi's hands were shaking even more violently.
He Yu saw that his expression was not right, and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"
What's wrong? What's wrong?
Luo Shixi pushed the piece of paper in front of He Yu with a ferocious look on his face, pointing his finger at the four big words.
He Yu understood. He was silent for a while: "... Sorry, I prefer sour food."
This acidity is normal for him, but he forgets that others may not be able to accept it.
hehe.
With the idea of dying early and being reborn early, Luo Shixi bit the hard candy into pieces with a "crunch" sound, and his expression froze.
He Yu looked at Luo Shixi motionlessly and added, "The candy is filled with something, don't bite it, the concentration is higher inside."
Luo Shixi swallowed the broken candy in one gulp, expressionless: "Thank you, I already know."
He Yu coughed lightly, looked away and stopped talking.
Luo Shixi didn't say anything either.
He now felt that not only his words but even his breath tasted like the sour taste of lemon.
No wonder He Yu smelled like lemon when he hugged her just now, probably because he had just eaten the candy. The taste of the candy was just enough to suppress the smell of tobacco, and the bitter taste could not be smelled unless you smelled it carefully.
But He Yu actually smokes.
Luo Shixi imagined how He Yu would smoke, and discovered...if it was He Yu who made the gesture of smoking, it would actually look surprisingly good, with every move full of romantic charm.
Bah! Bah! Bah!
What is he thinking? Forget about him caring whether a man smoking looks good or not. Just the fact that he smokes is wrong. Smoking is harmful to your health!
He Yu didn't know what Luo Shixi was thinking about. He only saw that he had recovered and his face looked much better, so he said, "You have low blood sugar, why don't you carry some candy with you?"
Luo Shixi was surprised: "Weren't all my candies confiscated?"
He Yu was even more surprised than him: "Don't you know that people with low blood sugar can apply to keep those high-sugar snacks?"
Luo Shixi: “……?”
The two looked at each other and saw the message "You are probably a fool" in each other's eyes.
Luo·Real Fool·Shi Xi silently withdrew his gaze, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Then I...is it too late for me to apply now?"
His snacks are coming back!
"I'm afraid not," He Yu's words extinguished Luo Shixi's passion that had just been ignited, "The things are locked in the warehouse. Xiao Zhou from the logistics department has the key. He is not here these days."
Luo Shixi sighed deeply.
Still can't see his babies.
He Yu saw him sighing, and his amorous peach blossom eyes shone slightly. It seemed ambiguous without revealing any emotion, not to mention that they were filled with smiles at this time, which made him even more attractive.
How come this kid is so interesting? He Yu thought.
The two stayed in a classroom for a long time.
There were only two of them here, and the front and back doors were closed, so they could only vaguely hear conversations and laughter coming from outside.
Luo Shixi took a long time to calm down before he felt that he was fine, so he said to He Yu who was watching him patiently, "Teacher He, I'm much better now."
"Do you want to go back to the dormitory and rest now?"
"Okay." Luo Shixi nodded weakly.
He didn't expect that he returned to his bed in broad daylight because of hypoglycemia.
"Come on, I'll go with you." He Yu was worried about him going back alone.
Luo Shixi was indeed fine. When he arrived at the dormitory, he was about to jump onto his bed, but suddenly he remembered that He Yu was right in front of him. He quickly stopped and looked at him, smiling shyly, "Thank you for troubling Teacher He."
He Yu hummed, and just as he was about to say something else, his cell phone started to ring frantically, as if it would not give up.
He Yu sighed leisurely: "You should have a good rest first. I have something else to do so I will leave first. If you feel unwell, remember to find a staff member immediately."
If he doesn't leave, his agent will probably eat him alive.
Luo Shixi wished that He Yu would leave quickly so that he could lie on the bed and sleep soundly. Hearing this, he nodded vigorously.
He Yu watched his actions and laughed.
Are you looking forward to his leaving so much?
The agent was pushing him hard, otherwise He Yu could have teased Luo Shixi again.
===
When he went back home at night, Luo Shixi wanted to borrow some candy from others, but was stopped by a staff member.
"Luo Shixi, here's your stuff." The man gestured to him while holding a big bag.
"For me?" Luo Shixi walked over puzzledly.
"This is given to you by PD He, take it." The staff member said and left.
Luo Shixi looked at the bag in his hand, which had the logo of xx shopping center printed on it. It was a supermarket nearby. He opened it and found that it was filled with candies, biscuits and chocolates. He Yu probably wasn't sure what he liked to eat, so he bought a lot of flavors of chocolate.
Luo Shixi took out a piece of notepaper from inside. The notes on it were a little sloppy but so powerful that they almost flew out.
"Xiao Zhou can't come back for the time being. I bought you some snacks. Take them with you and remember to eat them. Don't get hypoglycemia again."
Luo Shixi looked at the full stack of snacks in his hands, carefully folded the note paper in his hand, and put it in the compartment of the suitcase.
It turns out that Teacher He is a very considerate person, he thought.
I will never say bad things about him again.
===
The three-day period is almost up. All the trainees completed the one take video recording in the afternoon and have uploaded it to the mentors. The mentors need a day to score them, and the results will be announced at 7:30 pm the next day.
The trainees had no tasks during the two days and could do whatever they wanted. However, they couldn't let go and have fun because they were all very nervous about their theme song performance.
Except Luo Shixi.
He should be the most heartless one here. After the recording was finished, he slept for a whole day, went to the indoor cinema to watch a movie the next day, and went to the open-air balcony in the afternoon to drink watermelon juice and bask in the sun.
Luo Shixi: It feels so good to have a vacation at public expense!
In the evening, he finished his tea-soaked rice in the cafeteria and walked leisurely to the previous studio.
This time they were not divided into positions, but stood together as classes, with Class F at the bottom and Class A at the top of the pyramid.
Sangsang was the first to see him and waved at him: "Why are you here just now? It's almost time to start."
"I just finished my meal." Luo Shixi said.
As soon as the two finished speaking, the clock on the big screen struck seven o'clock in the evening.
It's time.
The venue with more than a hundred people fell silent in an instant, and the trainees cast their nervous and expectant eyes towards the illuminated stage.
He Yu walked out of the passage slowly.
Today he was wearing a black casual shirt with two buttons undone, the collar was loose and exposed a piece of skin. Just looking at it made people want to button it up for him personally, dress properly and not flirt with others. There was a belt design on the waist of the shirt, but it was not tied, but hanging down, shaking slightly with his movements, occasionally his fingers were entangled, and the black ribbon slowly slid through his slender fingers.
"Good evening." He Yu stood on the stage and bowed slightly.
"Good evening, Mr. He!"
"Hello, PD!"
Everyone greeted each other in unison.
He Yu smiled, and the sound of his laughter reached everyone's ears through the microphone, making them feel itchy. He looked around and met everyone's eyes: "Today is the day to announce the rating of the theme song. The ratings of all students will be reshuffled. Students who get A are eligible to compete for the C position of the theme song, while students who get F will miss the theme song recording and can only stand on the stage. Are you ready?"
“Ready!”
"PD, please start soon. I've been waiting for a long time."
"Help! I don't want to know. I'm so nervous now!"
There were all kinds of things being said in the audience. Luo Shixi listened to the discussions without any disturbance, like an old monk in meditation. He even yawned openly and rubbed his eyes.
What to do? He wants to sleep after eating.
"Does anyone want to get the results?" He Yu looked around at the nervous people and answered himself, "Then let's go to Class A."
Class A wailed for a while.
Everyone's grades were printed on a small card, and they had to go on stage to receive it from He Yu's hand, then unfold it and walk back to their new class.
During this process, some people were so nervous that they almost couldn't catch the card in He Yu's hand, some looked pale after unfolding it, some were surprised, some were disappointed, and so on.
As Class A was the top class, it naturally attracted everyone's attention. Some people watched them go up and down one by one, and after counting, they found that four of them went down, and one was directly demoted to D.
They are students from Class A! Can't they stay here?
Everyone was whispering to each other, talking about their discoveries.
The instructors were really strict this time. If one of the singing and dancing was not up to standard, the student would be rejected. The student who was demoted from A to D danced very well, but did not speak at all the time.
Jiang Yan, Bai Jingzhou and Liang Yulan were naturally also in Class A. The three of them took the cards from He Yu's hand calmly, then walked back to Class A under everyone's gazes and stood back in their original positions.
There is nothing surprising about Jiang Yan and Bai Jingzhou getting A. After all, Bai Jingzhou was originally from a boy band and has strong professional skills. Jiang Yan also saw him dancing that day, and he is probably also an all-rounder.
But when did Liang Yulan learn to dance? Didn't he just play musical instruments?
Liang Yulan lowered his head and looked into Luo Shixi's surprised eyes. He curled his lips, a slight arc appeared at the corners of his mouth, and the coldness and alienation in his eyes had long disappeared.
Luo Shixi didn't expect him to look at him, so he smiled at Liang Yulan hastily and then turned his head away.
He Yu walked to the front of the stage, which was one meter in front of Class F.
"Who else wants to know the answer?"
Everyone was speechless.
There are nine members in Class A, which happens to be the nine debut positions. Each of them is a seeded player with super strength, but half of them were eliminated in this theme song assessment.
What is the elimination rate?
They put themselves in others' shoes and no longer dared to look at their own results.
"No?" He Yu saw the expressions of each of them. Some of them lowered their heads to avoid him the moment they looked at him, not daring to face him.
Luo Shixi started yawning again, and he felt sleepy. During the three days of extreme training, he only slept three hours a day, and he had to cope with high-intensity training. Now that he was done and relaxed, Luo Shixi felt like he had narcolepsy and just wanted to sleep.
Unexpectedly, before he could even stop yawning, he stopped.
Because on the huge screen on the stage was his own yawning face.
Luo Shixi on the screen stopped yawning and put his hand down in a daze. His eyes were soaked with tears, and his long eyelashes were stuck together by tears. His eyes were blank and innocent when they blinked. He rubbed the corners of his eyes until they were red, and the small mole under them was conspicuous.
Luo Shixi pointed at the big screen stupidly, then pointed at himself.
What is this for? Are they randomly selecting lucky viewers?
He Yu looked back and saw Luo Shixi on the big screen.
The director's voice came from the earphone: "Tell him to go up first."
Is this a shot for Luo Shixi?
He Yu immediately understood the director's intention. It seemed that the director liked the other party very much.
He said, "Luo Shixi, it's you, come up and get your results."
Class F was immediately in an uproar.
Luo Shixi knew without even looking that Chen Yiming must be getting nervous again.
He was just about to comfort Chen Yiming and tell him not to panic, but before he could reach him, He Yu's voice rang out at this moment.
"You, Chen Yiming, Sang Sang, and Sang Huaiyan, the four of you come up together."
He Yu knew that the four of them practiced together, so there was nothing wrong with sending them all up, but... Luo Shixi was helpless.
Before Chen Yiming went up, he could hear the other person's teeth chattering.
How stressful this must be!
He Yu looked at the four of them, curled his lips, and said slowly: "After the four of you have worked hard, don't you want to know your final results?"
Luo Shixi sighed.
He didn't want to work hard, he was forced to do it.
He has been suffering from nightmares these days.
No matter where he was, when and where he slacked off, he would be caught and dragged back to the practice room to practice again. He slept only three hours a day and suffered from hypoglycemia from time to time.
My body, which was tired at first, gradually got used to this strong and fast pace and kept up with everyone else.
But he didn't know, in the eyes of outsiders, how much effort it took for him to go from a completely clueless person to even receiving praise from Jiang Jing in just a few days.
He ignored his own efforts and blamed everything on external forces, not realizing that if he was really lazy, no one could really let him get to this point.
When they heard that Luo Shixi was going to be called up, everyone at the scene looked at him, hoping that he could bring them hope.
After all, the fact that Class A suffered a half elimination rate was too despairing, and all the trainees felt a shadow in their hearts.
Please, let these four of them be promoted, even from Class F to Class D?
Give them some hope!
Luo Shixi stood on the stage with the other three people, with the spotlight shining on them.
He Yu looked at everyone's fingers tangled together due to nervousness, smiled, and handed the results to the four F-class students on the stage: "Unfold them and take a look."
Luo Shixi solemnly took the small, closed card. He could see his results by opening the card, but at this moment, he hesitated for a moment.
Even though it was not his own wish, he still tried dancing for this theme song, something he had never done in the previous 18 years of his life. He went from being able to barely dance to a single beat to singing and dancing the entire song for three minutes.
He also collapsed during this period, but was pushed forward by everyone around him. He got up from the floor again and again, and did it again with his extremely tired body.
If I work so hard, I still have to go back to Class F...
Then he might as well just be a salted fish seriously from the beginning!
At least I can do justice to the assistant director and the man behind him!
Luo Shixi bit his lower lip, leaving a row of deep teeth marks on his tender lips.
The director cut the camera in close, focusing on their hands holding the cards and the expressions on their faces.
There were three other people who did not open the cards. They were all struggling and thinking.
He Yu didn't rush them, and neither did the trainees.
"I don't dare to look anymore..." A boy in the gray F class uniform turned his head and said to his friend beside him.
"Who wouldn't? They are the most hardworking and dedicated students in the entire F class. If they don't advance... I don't dare to think about it."
Luo Shixi finally opened the card slowly, and his expression was projected on the big screen in real time.
"What does this mean? Did you advance or did you stay in Class F?"
"You don't look very happy. Did you stay?"
"No, this is the hope of our Class F!"
Everyone was talking about it, and the trainees in Class F couldn't sit still anymore.
Luo Shixi stared at the card in his hand in a daze. His eyes turned red for a moment, but he suppressed it in an instant. He blinked, and his long and curly eyelashes drooped, covering the small mole at the end of his eye.
Seeing that he opened it, Chen Yiming and the other two opened it as well, and then all stood there in a daze.
Seeing this, He Yu picked up the microphone again: "Luo Shixi, Chen Yiming, Sang Sang and Sang Huaiyan."
He called out everyone's name very seriously, and then said: "I just want to tell you that it doesn't matter if you lose at the starting line without a foundation. Your advantage is that you work hard enough. In this show, everyone's efforts can be seen."
There was a brief silence in the audience.
This means... this means they advanced? !
And it’s definitely not as simple as going from F to D!
So that's C?
"That's amazing! They jumped a level! From F to C? That's awesome!"
"How many people crossed levels? One or two?"
"Will it be all?"
"That's impossible. If that's the case, it's too much!"
Luo Shixi clenched his hand holding the card, and when he let go, he found that one corner was wrinkled. He took a deep breath again, then unfolded the card and turned it over to show everyone.
It is B.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yiming and the other three turned them over one by one and showed them to everyone.
Chen Yiming, B.
Sang Huaiyan, B.
Sad, B.
Four people, all of them are B!
The scene was already bustling with activity.
"Fuck this is awesome! They're all Bs!"
"From F to B, how many people can do this? They are too strong!"
"Fuck, it made me cry, it's so exciting! Hard work really pays off!"
"Luo Shixi, you are the champions!"
All the cameras were turned to the four people on the stage, and everyone's eyes were on them. There was jealousy, but more of it was envy and admiration.
He Yu stood beside them and could feel the attention they were receiving even more.
"Everyone is so happy, it feels like we have already debuted as a group," he smiled and made a "please" gesture, "Then please ask the four trainees to give their own comments on the group debut."
Everyone laughed.
Sang Huaiyan and the others then briefly expressed their thoughts. Looking back, those past few days were truly as difficult as hell, but fortunately they managed to make it through.
The microphone was handed to Luo Shixi. He took it, looked up at the pyramid-shaped trainees, raised the corners of his mouth, revealing the small dimples on his cheeks, and curved his eyebrows.
“Thanks to this rating, it made me realize that there are things in this world that can be changed with hard work alone.”
Although this was not what he asked for, and he had collapsed during these three days, but when he thought back on these three days, especially the days when he battled wits and courage with Jiang Yan and the others, and was caught for being lazy, he actually found it very funny.
"Hard work can get you anywhere." He Yu said, looking at Luo Shixi's profile.
Luo Shixi turned his head, looked at He Yu for a few seconds, then smiled with clear eyes.
"If Teacher He says so, then I believe it."
Bai Jingzhou looked at Liang Yulan who was about to leave and asked him, "Where are you going? It's not over yet."
Liang Yulan was in Class A at the top. No one saw his actions at this moment. Everyone's attention was on the stage.
"Go to the bathroom." He lowered his eyes and said quietly.
No one noticed that his hands hidden under his sleeves were clenched and trembling slightly.
Xiao Xi... What on earth was he thinking? How had he lived these years to feel that all his efforts were not worth the results?
Liang Yulan thought of Luo Shixi's ever-gloomy smile and splashed cold water on his face. He supported himself on the cold marble table with his hands and let the water drip down his jawline while looking at himself in the mirror.
The level assessment was still going on, but everyone's attention was still focused on the four gray dots that had infiltrated Class B.
Sangsang's excited voice became much louder: "I told you we would change our clothes!"
Luo Shixi was happy for them: "Yes, we have successfully made it into Class B!" He will be eliminated after the ranking is announced, but Sangsang can go further, or even keep going.
The evening at this venue belonged to Luo Shixi and his three companions.
The time on the big screen was set to eight o'clock in the evening.
Luo Shixi vaguely remembered that today was not only the day for the theme song rating assessment.
Today is also the day when the first episode of "Idol Creation" is broadcast.
What Luo Shixi didn't know was that before this episode was aired, he was just a small internet celebrity who delivered food and had only a few videos showing his face. He didn't even want to participate in this show seriously, he just wanted to get through two episodes and leave.
After this, he will become a shining star in "Idol Creation", and no one will be able to replace him.
At eight o'clock on Saturday night, many people pressed the refresh button on the Orange Channel and watched it over and over again.
finally
“It’s out!”
"It's finally out! I'll just go ahead no matter what!"
Jiang Luoluo didn't have class today. She was eating a hamburger and browsing her phone out of boredom in the dormitory when her roommate suddenly poked her.
"What's wrong?"
My roommate said, "Today is the first day of Idol Creation. Luo Luo, why don't you go and watch it?"
Jiang Luoluo thought that since she had nothing to do, she might as well watch some variety shows to kill time. Fortunately, her membership of Apple Orange Channel had not expired yet.
"Okay, let's take a look."
When her roommate saw that she wanted to see it, he quickly came over and said, "Come together! I just want to see my He Yu!"
As soon as I turned on the show, I saw Luo Shixi entering the venue.
A boy wearing overalls and with curly hair slowly walked out of the black and white passage. It was his first time in such a place and he seemed a little nervous. He held the strap of his overalls tightly with his left hand but didn't know where to put his right hand.
Perhaps because he saw the camera, the shy boy smiled slightly, pursed the dimples at the corners of his mouth, and his curled eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a small mole at the end of his eye.
Jiang Luoluo just picked up a French fry when she met Luo Shixi's smile and froze in place.
She asked the thoughts of all netizens who saw this scene.
“Who is this?!”
She grabbed her roommate's arm and yelled, "Secretary Zhou, I'll give you one minute to find out all the information about this little brother!"
