In the practice room, several people looked at each other.
After being hit hard, Luo Shixi patted his face to make himself less depressed.
He drew everyone's attention and asked, "Everyone, please tell me why you chose this song?"
Sang Zi sat next to Luo Shixi and spoke first: "Actually... I thought my brother would choose this song."
This was indeed the initial thought of many people, but no one expected that Bai Jingzhou would choose the vocal group and select a less popular song.
The top few in the circle have all tried different fields, and their results have all been surprising.
Sang Zi continued, "But it's also good. I didn't expect Shi Xi to choose this song. We can team up again!"
After he said that, he put his head on Luo Shixi's shoulder and looked at him with a smile on his face.
Luo Shixi patted Sang Zi's head: "Be good."
Feeling the touch of his fingers brushing against soft hair, Luo Shixi withdrew his hand with satisfaction and squinted his eyes comfortably.
It turns out that touching someone's head feels so good, no wonder they all like to touch his.
Sang Zi rubbed his hands against Luo Shixi's. Being 1.80 meters tall, it didn't seem strange for him to act like a spoiled child.
Sang Zi has a deceptive baby face, but he is a fitness boy. Once he takes off his clothes, all he has are muscles. His biggest hobby in daily life is to hang out in the gym.
A fan once begged him at the top of his lungs to stay away from the barbell and stop training his muscles, so Sang Zi reluctantly changed the time he went to the gym from once a day to once every three days.
The other three team members said one by one why they came here.
Han Hanwen said: "All the songs in the dance category have been chosen, so I can only choose this one."
He was ranked relatively low, so he really didn't have much choice.
Wu Hengyu and Sun Luo are in similar situations.
The songs I like are gone, so I can only choose what others have left.
Luo Shixi had anticipated this.
He looked around and saw that everyone was keeping their heads down and silent. They could even hear cheers and laughter from other practice rooms across the classroom, but their own practice room was dead silent.
Luo Shixi frowned.
This can't go on like this.
He clapped his hands like Sang Zi had just done to attract everyone's attention.
Seeing everyone's eyes looking over here, Luo Shixi asked them: "I know your situation is a bit special, and you didn't really want to join this group. You were just forced to accept the leftovers and unwanted things of others. Is that what you think?"
Everyone avoided Luo Shixi's clear eyes.
Luo Shixi smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. Just like me, I'm often abandoned and forced to make choices I don't like. There are many reasons why I'm put in a passive position, and lack of strength is the biggest reason, so I can only be forced to accept what others force on me."
"But captain, you are very strong now and ranked sixth." Sun Luo said.
Luo Shixi burst out laughing, revealing the dimples on his cheeks: "If you say I'm lucky, I'll admit it, but forget about my strength, I still know my own limitations."
In fact, the program crew was not really harmonious, and there were a lot of rumors behind the scenes. Luo Shixi heard a lot of things like "How can he have the nerve to stay in the debut position", "Why did another vase come in to grab the spot", and "I really hope he gets eliminated soon". He felt uncomfortable when he heard it at first, but after listening to it for about half a month, he got used to it.
Luo Shixi continued, "In fact, it is very simple to break out of the vicious circle of 'forced choice', that is, to hold the initiative in your own hands and choose what you like. You said that it was a miracle for me to get the first public likes king, so how about we create another miracle this time?"
Hearing this, everyone looked up in surprise and looked at Luo Shixi.
Luo Shixi's eyes fell firmly on each of their faces: "The five of us will start from scratch and create a miracle in the second public performance. Do you have the confidence?"
Wu Hengyu was always silent, but this time he spoke first: "If you, the captain, said this, then I have confidence."
Everyone obviously thought of Luo Shixi's record. They almost watched Luo Shixi rise all the way from Class F to here like a rocket.
Sun Luo echoed: "Listen to the captain! We must cheer up this time and win!"
Han Hanwen said: "Wait for the captain to lead us to first place in the group again! The kids have been envious of this for a long time!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Sang Zi quickly expressed his opinion: "I have always been on your side, Brother Shixi, and I definitely believe in you."
The atmosphere in the practice room suddenly became lively, completely different from just now.
Luo Shixi stretched out his hand and clenched his fist: "It's a deal, we'll take first place!"
"It's a deal!"
Everyone fist-bumped each other.
The next steps were to divide the lyrics and do some preliminary practice on movement, which became very easy. Every trainee who walked out of the "Mountain Ghost" practice room had a smile on their face, humming the tune without having memorized the lyrics.
===
"So that's it." Luo Shixi was deflated.
He sat against the wall behind him, his large, lifeless eyes looking up at the bed.
Bai Jingzhou listened to his description and lay on the bed with his chin supported by the back of his hand: "This is good, your morale is up. Do I still have to be on guard against you? Otherwise, you will take the first place again."
Luo Shixi said: "Brother Jingzhou, please stop making fun of me."
Bai Jingzhou knew what Luo Shixi was worried about. Now everyone was just getting started with the song, and it wasn't the hardest and most painful time yet. That would be the most difficult time to endure, and the hard times hadn't started yet.
He said, "You have to stand up, Xiaoxi."
Luo Shixi replied: "I want to support myself too, but isn't this because I don't have enough hardware?"
Bai Jingzhou hummed, looked at Luo Shixi who was sleeping on the lower bunk and smiled: "You can ask for help."
"foreign aid?"
Luo Shixi repeated these two words, and then his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately put down his crossed legs, without even bothering to put on his shoes, and jumped to the side of Bai Jingzhou's bed, holding onto the railing of the upper bunk and looking at Bai Jingzhou.
"Brother Jingzhou, can you help me?"
Yes, how could he completely forget about Bai Jingzhou!
The other party is a classical dancer, so the dancing part must be no problem for her.
Bai Jingzhou reached his hand through the gap in the railing and gently pinched Luo Shixi's cheek: "Are you begging me?"
"Please, Brother Jingzhou." Luo Shixi softened his voice and looked straight at Bai Jingzhou.
He was very sensible and did not resist at all when his face was pinched. It was just a pinch on the face, and a grown man wouldn't lose a piece of flesh if he was pinched twice.
Not only will they not lose any, they will even have one more foreign aid!
Bai Jingzhou: "I can teach you, but I have a few conditions."
Luo Shixi nodded repeatedly: "What are your conditions? I will definitely agree!"
Bai Jingzhou stretched out a slender index finger and waved it in front of Luo Shixi's eyes: "First, don't give up halfway."
What kind of condition is this?
Luo Shixi nodded again.
Bai Jingzhou held out the second and third ones, and slowly talked to him: "Second, don't complain about the hardship. Third, I want to eat hot pot."
Luo Shixi paused halfway through nodding: "Hot, hot pot? Can you change it?"
This place is completely closed, where can we find hot pot?
Bai Jingzhou's eyebrows were slightly furrowed. His eyebrows were long and thin, and they looked good even when they were slightly furrowed.
Beautiful women are beautiful no matter what.
Bai Jingzhou lowered his eyes, his voice tinged with sadness: "If I can't eat hot pot, what's the meaning of my life?"
He hasn't eaten hot pot for more than three months!
"That's not necessary." Luo Shixi racked his brains and finally came up with a solution, "Then why don't we..."
He was halfway through his words when he realized something. He quickly took off the microphone from his collar and turned it off. He stood on tiptoe and lowered his voice, muttering in Bai Jingzhou's ear.
Liang Yulan was originally writing lyrics. He had never been exposed to this before, so it was a little difficult for him to get started. He was fidgeting with the pen, from his little finger to his index finger, and then back again. His slender fingers were rolling on the pen, and the movements were dazzling.
He leaned back in the chair, and out of the corner of his eye he saw two people whispering to each other, and the pen between his fingers stopped.
As if he noticed Liang Yulan's gaze, Bai Jingzhou looked over, then withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened and continued chatting with Luo Shixi.
He said, "Do you guarantee that this method will work?"
Luo Shixi: "I promise!"
Bai Jingzhou said "hmm" and patted Luo Shixi's head: "Okay, I believe you. It's getting late, go to bed quickly."
Luo Shixi responded and walked barefoot back to his bed.
Bai Jingzhou frowned and said, "Please wear proper shoes next time."
"I know." Luo Shixi covered his mouth and yawned.
After solving his biggest problem and being busy all day, Luo Shixi fell asleep quickly.
When Jiang Yan came out, he was already asleep.
"Are you asleep?" Jiang Yan asked in a low voice.
Bai Jingzhou nodded: "Please turn off the light."
They all have their own desk lamps and night lights, so it would be inappropriate to turn on the headlights.
Jiang Yan made an "OK" gesture and turned off the bedroom light. Then he dried his hair and went to bed.
Bai Jingzhou turned over, lay facing outward, and prepared to sleep.
Only Liang Yulan's desk lamp was on below, and he was still writing his own lyrics.
Bai Jingzhou thought of the book he saw on the other person's desk today. It was covered with dense annotations. The book was not new and looked like it had been read many times.
Is Liang Yulan a medical student?
How did you come up with the idea of participating in a talent show?
When Bai Jingzhou was about to fall asleep in a daze, the desk lamp went out and Liang Yulan's footsteps approached.
He came to his senses for a moment, and slightly opened his eyelids to look, and saw Liang Yulan turning on the night light under his bed, then picking up the half cup of milk on the table that Luo Shixi had been acting coquettishly and refused to drink, and drank it all in one gulp.
Aren't medical students supposed to be more or less mysophobic? Especially someone like Liang Yulan.
Bai Jingzhou thought with his mind empty.
Why did Xiaoxi drink directly from her cup?
===
Soon it was the weekend again, and the fans of the show had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally the third episode came out.
"It's on! Go, go, go!"
"I'm really looking forward to the first public performance of the brothers."
"Let's walk on the flower path together, Bai Jingzhou~"
“I don’t know what young Y will perform, so I’m just guessing a rap!”
"I saw in the trailer that Leung Yu-Lan chose the vocal. I really want to hear him sing. His voice is so amazing, and his lay-back is absolutely amazing!"
"Sister, I was also attracted by his debut performance! At that time, I was thinking how could there be such a perfect person, who could not find any flaws from beginning to end."
With the broadcast of the first two episodes, the trainees have accumulated a certain popularity, and fans from various groups have been cheering for them in the barrage.
Luo Shixi's name is also on it.
"When will it be my kid's turn? I'm waiting so anxiously! Forget it, I'll just pull the progress bar!"
"The preview revealed that Xiaoxi will have a different presentation this time, but what exactly is it? Is there anyone who has seen the show who can give me some spoilers?"
"I've seen the live show Gone with the Wind~~ I won't spoil the plot, I can only tell you it's really amazing, really amazing!"
The production crew was very bad. After the first public performance, they did an interview with everyone. In the edited video, when asked "Who impressed you the most on the first public performance", eight out of ten people mentioned Luo Shixi's name, and the comments were very confusing.
"I didn't expect Luo Shixi to be so secretive. On the surface, he looks like a good student, but in fact, he's quite reserved."
"Who left the deepest impression? Luo Shixi, I wanted to call him brother when I was in the audience! He was really killing people online!"
"To be honest, I feel a little shy when I see Xiaoxi now. I'm sure everyone will have the same reaction as me when it's aired. Right? Otherwise, I'll doubt my sexual orientation."
All these vague words aroused everyone's strong curiosity.
However, some people were already impatient before even seeing the first public stage.
"Did Luo Shixi really hire some internet trolls? I was wondering when everyone was praising his first public performance, is it really that good? I had high expectations, but when I saw him not even getting his positioning right during practice, I knew I was being scammed."
"I'm speechless. If you're a vase, just be a vase, okay? Stop thinking about this and that all the time and buying powerful marketing materials."
"Oh, how can you be so emotional when following a variety show? At least he has a good appearance. Just think of it as admiring a handsome guy. Don't ask for too much."
The program team's stage editing is all in the form of inserts. After everyone introduces their names on the first public stage, the practice clips are replayed, mainly to highlight the difficulties encountered by the trainees and their warm daily lives.
When it comes to Luo Shixi, the only thing left is difficulties.
Luo Shixi in the video failed again and again, and was sitting in a corner in a daze, barely catching his breath. Others' faces were red from the heat after dancing, but he was the only one whose face was even paler. He fumbled in his pocket, took out a candy, peeled it, and put it in his mouth.
Later, a line of words was added: "After working hard, can you get the answer you want?"
It's like chicken soup for the soul.
Then the screen went dark, and the first public performance of Group B of "We Can't Stop" officially began.
The light shone down, illuminating Luo Shixi's profile. He looked like a graceful young man walking out of divine light. When he looked up at you, he had the most pitying and indifferent eyes.
"I have to say it, Luo Shixi is so damn handsome!" A comment expressed everyone's thoughts.
And this is just the beginning.
As the music gradually reached the middle of the song, Luo Shixi pulled off the tie around his neck, put it in his mouth, and looked towards the camera.
Cold, yet vaguely tempting.
"!!!!!!! I'm changing color!!"
"Don't bite the tie, damn! Bite me!!"
"Fuck, no wonder they said Luo Shixi was too lustful this time! I, a man, am almost falling in love with him!"
"Oh my goodness! I'm having a brain orgasm. It's not too much, sisters!"
All the fans of the show watched helplessly as Luo Shixi tied the tie around his hands, and then Jun Yan ripped it off and threw it off the stage.
"I hate it! I hate myself for not being able to get a ticket to the event!"
Before the first public performance ended, the term #洛时熙一公# quickly jumped to the end of the hot searches. Hundreds of thousands of fans flocked to Luo Shixi's personal Weibo, and the amount of attention continued to rise.
Everyone edited his dance part separately, and also edited in his blushing face during the ending pose.
"How can anyone be so seductive and innocent! Isn't this just dancing on my XP? I just say hi, wife!"
"It's too much to say clay sculpture... But I agree with the previous statement."
As soon as the word "wife" was posted, netizens who felt it was inappropriate deleted it immediately, and then posted it in the clay sculpture super topic. When I scrolled down, I found someone screaming excitedly.
"Wow, Xixi has lip beads, they are red and moist, so cute!"
The atmosphere reached its peak when Luo Shixi received the highest number of votes.
"Tsk tsk, let me see which black people jumped so high before, why don't they come out to see people now?"
"Just now I agreed with the comments that he was a vase... I was wrong, I'm on my knees."
"Luo Shixi's adapted dance is so pleasing. The movements are many times easier than before, and it also shows off her personal characteristics. Why haven't I heard the program team mention such a choreographer?"
"It could be that it's not the choreographer. Don't they have instructors? It could be that one."
"He Yu? Impossible, why would he go to so much trouble to help Luo Shixi?"
The fans also thought it was impossible. He Yu would only teach others to dance when he had nothing to do, and he taught them step by step. With his personality, he didn't seem like someone who would do charity.
"Luo Shixi is not a pretty face, isn't he still a top student?"
"Student bully? Who told you that?"
"It seems to be true. I heard that his fans have been talking about this, and I heard that he passed the independent enrollment of a top school."
"It's fake, right? You believe it. There are only a few people in the entertainment industry who are highly educated."
"My brother scored 625 points in the college entrance examination. Isn't that high?"
"Sister, you are still underage, right? I want to tell you a fact. The college entrance examination results haven't come out yet. Your brother is quite good at predicting the future."
"Stop arguing. Won't we know the college entrance examination results in a few days?"
The big talk before doing anything aroused the rebellious psychology of many netizens.
Looking at the comments in the barrage, "My brother's high school classmates said it, so how could it be false?", Wang Ning in front of the computer sneered.
"You're not afraid of your tongue being blown off by the wind. You'll be in big trouble when the results come out. You'll have to buy a lot of whitewashing notices by then."
Whether it was the milkshakes that were looking forward to Luo Shixi using his results to slap the haters in the face, or the netizens who were taking advantage of the situation and just watching the joke, everyone unanimously began to look forward to the announcement of the college entrance examination results on the 25th.
===
Luo Shixi didn't have a cell phone and couldn't contact the outside world, so he naturally had no idea how much the outside world cared about his grades. After stepping out of the practice room, he just tremblingly held on to the wall and walked slowly back.
On the way, he met a staff member who was surprised to see him like this and asked: "Luo Shixi? What's wrong with you?"
"I was stretching today." Luo Shixi replied in a hoarse voice.
His voice has become hoarse.
"That's too bad," the staff member cast a pitying look at him, "Go back and get a massage, or you'll feel uncomfortable again tomorrow morning."
Luo Shixi nodded: "I understand, thank you."
Staff: "You're welcome, college bully, go back and rest quickly, don't tire yourself out. You're participating in the show right after the college entrance exam, the intensity is so high that your body can't handle it, remember to eat more delicious food."
"Okay," Luo Shixi nodded halfway, and suddenly realized something was wrong, "What did you call me?"
"You're such a top student. Everyone knows that you have to go to Peking University or Tsinghua University. Since you've passed the independent enrollment, just relax. It'll be fine." The staff member comforted.
"I didn't take the exam at all... Never mind," Luo Shixi swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and looked at the staff pleadingly, "Can I use my phone?"
The staff member looked embarrassed: "This..."
Luo Shixi quickly assured: "One minute! I'll just watch for one minute!"
"Okay, one minute." The staff thought he wanted to see everyone's reaction after the third episode was released, so they pulled him to a deserted place and took out their cell phones to give to Luo Shixi.
Luo Shixi frowned tightly and browsed the posts on the Internet quickly.
But now we can’t find the original source, all we can see are “I’m so lucky to be a fan of a brother who has both good looks and talent”, “My idol is a top student and I want to be one too”, “I’m one of the top students in Tsinghua University and Peking University, so can I be an alumnus of Xiaoxi’s?”
Luo Shixi turned off the screen and returned the phone to the staff: "Thank you."
"That's fine, I'll leave first."
Luo Shixi responded randomly, his mind in a mess.
He has never participated in independent enrollment, he has never said which university he wants to apply to, and he hasn't even returned to school in the past year. How could any classmates know him!
This is definitely not normal.
What should I do?
Luo Shixi had never solved these problems before, so he could only try his best to calm himself down.
Calm down, there is nothing to panic about. In the best case, someone might just be pretending to be your classmate and want to show off. In the worst case, someone is targeting you behind your back. I was able to handle the fever last time, so I can do it this time, too.
He should get the phone first. Yes, get the phone in his hand first!
Luo Shixi walked forward with his head down, and unknowingly came to the end of the corridor. He subconsciously pushed the dormitory door.
Didn't push it open.
I tried a little harder, but it still didn't move at all.
Luo Shixi then realized something was wrong and found himself standing at the door of He Yu's room, which was separated by a wall.
The door he just pushed was He Yu's.
Luo Shixi withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly. He should have turned around and left immediately, but for some reason, He Yu's voice suddenly popped up in his mind.
"If you are able to stay... I will buy you some clothes."
Luo Shixi thought of the jacket he wore on the variety show that day.
Would the production team prepare such expensive clothes? Of course not.
Luo Shixi had a vague guess in his heart as to who actually prepared the clothes.
He licked his dry lips.
While I was daydreaming, the door opened.
Luo Shixi's expression was blank.
He Yu was about to walk out with a garbage bag hooked on his finger, when he turned sideways he saw Luo Shixi standing at the door.
"Luo Shixi, why are you here?" he asked, "Are you looking for me?"
Luo Shixi nodded, then shook his head, not knowing how to react for a moment.
He Yu suddenly found it funny: "So are you here to find me?"
"I..." Luo Shixi's lips moved, and finally he closed his mouth.
He Yu didn't even throw away the garbage, but moved aside to let Luo Shixi in.
"Come in first, don't stand at the door."
Luo Shixi: "No, it's not very good."
Seeing Luo Shixi standing there hesitating, He Yu looked at him and said, "Just think of it as me inviting you to visit my dormitory. Come in."
Luo Shixi felt that it would be unkind to refuse again, so he walked in.
The layout of He Yu's dormitory is similar to theirs, except that there are some small appliances and the bedroom has a king-size bed.
He Yu closed the door behind him with a click, and said to Luo Shixi who was standing in the room, "Sit down first, I'll go get some water."
"Okay, thank you Teacher He." Luo Shixi sat stiffly on the sofa and watched He Yu go to the half-open kitchen to get something.
After a while, He Yu came over with a glass of iced cola and placed it next to Luo Shixi.
Luo Shixi thanked him and took a sip.
He Yu sat opposite him, crossed his long legs, and said lazily: "Tell me, why didn't someone go back to rest in the middle of the night, but stood at the door of my room instead."
