All the trainees' scores were announced in the hall behind the stage and broadcast live to everyone at the front desk.
Fans subconsciously looked for their brother among them, and when they found him, they excitedly pointed him out to their colleagues around them.
But the Milkshakes searched everyone and looked through all the cameras, but couldn't find Luo Shixi.
After the first place was announced, the camera turned to the "Mountain Ghost" group, which only had four people.
There was no sign of Luo Shixi.
Now even those who were not fans of Luo Shixi felt a little strange.
"What's going on? Why is there no footage of my brother?"
"Why is the director so mean? He won't even give the first place in the first group a spot on camera!"
"Calm down, sister. I don't think the director wants to give it to you. It could be that...something happened to your brother."
The fan was about to spit back when she heard this, but then she saw the person next to her gasp and grab her arm tightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Xiao Xi...Xiao Xi might...have really gotten into trouble."
The girl couldn't believe it and immediately took out her phone to search, only to find that Weibo was flooded with posts about Luo Shixi.

[Follow-up of Luo Shixi's injury during rehearsal: He insisted on going on stage after taking a blocking injection, but immediately fainted when he was leaving the stage and was sent to the hospital]
There were many people talking backstage. The news that Luo Shixi fainted after getting a blocking injection and leaving the stage was released. Someone even took a picture of him with his eyes closed, his face pale, and his thin body being held in the arms of others as they hurriedly walked out.
"He...had a blocking injection?" the girl murmured, her voice trembling, "I...don't believe it!"
The last sentence was spoken with a crying tone.
If that's the case, then what was she watching?
She was so excited watching from the audience, but she had no idea that Luo Shixi was suffering on the stage!
"It may not be true. Didn't Xizi post on Weibo yesterday saying that he was fine? He must be fine." The friend comforted the girl, but she didn't even believe what she said.
The internet was in chaos. Regardless of whether they were Luo Shixi's fans or not, anyone who had some affection for the boy would go to his Weibo to ask if it was true, hoping that he would get better soon.
"Luo Shixi, you're a liar. Yesterday you sent us a Weibo post telling us that you were fine, it was just a minor injury and it didn't hurt at all. But today we found out that you went on stage with the injury after getting injected! You fainted after you got off the stage. The effect of the medicine must have worn off during the performance, but you managed to jump down... How much pain you felt at the time! I can't even imagine it!"
This comment was highly praised, and everyone was calling Luo Shixi a liar, crying as they cursed.
===
When Luo Shixi woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
His consciousness was still a little fuzzy at first, but when he moved his feet, the pain in his ankle made him immediately sober.
"Awake? I got here just in time."
Luo Shixi frowned, endured the pain, and looked away.
Just then I saw He Yu walking in with a thermos bucket.
"Teacher He..." Luo Shixi called out in a low voice and tried to sit up.
"Lie down and don't move." He Yu said, "What do you want to do? I'll help you."
"I've been lying down for a long time. I feel a little tired. I want to sit down."
Hearing this, He Yu put down the thermos in his hand, helped Luo Shixi to rock the bed, and stuffed a pillow on his back.
Luo Shixi was sitting so he could see the terrible condition of his legs better.
At this time, his right foot was wrapped in layers of gauze and he could not move it. It was extremely painful when he moved.
Seeing him staring at his leg motionless, He Yu said, "The doctor put a cast on you and told you not to move for a month and to rest well."
Luo Shixi sighed: "Oh."
Seeing his dejected look, He Yu's anger disappeared and turned into heartache.
He just thought that Luo Shixi was sent to the hospital by Wang Hanwen last night, so he didn't attend the next part. Who would have thought that he was indeed sent to the hospital by Wang Hanwen, but he walked out sideways.
When He Yu arrived, Luo Shixi had already been pushed out with a plaster cast on his body and was lying on the bed to rest.
Wang Hanwen told him that he was fine, except that his ankle was swollen and bruised when he was sent here, which looked scary.
He Yu pointed to the wheelchair in the corner and said, "Look, your new mount."
Luo Shixi was amused by him, and asked him after laughing: "Brother He, why are you here?"
"I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I came to see you. I will be back in the evening." He Yu opened the lid of the thermos bucket, and the delicious smell of chicken soup wafted out.
"It smells so good!" Luo Shixi instantly forgot the pain in his feet and looked at He Yu with green eyes...at the thermos in his hand.
"Mrs. Wang from the cafeteria cooked this specially for you. There are other dishes as well. Please have some."
"Thank Aunt Wang for me!" Luo Shixi immediately became impolite.
He Yu watched him eat and thought of how Wang Ma from the cafeteria had spent the whole morning cooking chicken soup the next day after hearing the news that Luo Shixi was hospitalized, and had asked him to bring it over.
Seeing Luo Shixi eating happily, He Yu sighed: "You are really easy to be liked by others." Everyone pampered him.
"Huh? What?" Luo Shixi was so focused on the food that he couldn't hear anything happening outside the window.
"Nothing, I'm going to the bathroom, you eat first." He Yu said, stood up and walked out.
After a while, there was a knock on the ward door.
Luo Shixi thought it was He Yu and shouted, "The door is not locked, just come in."
It was another person who pushed the door open.
"It's you!" Luo Shixi put down the lunch box and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for sending me to the hospital yesterday."
Standing outside the door was Wang Hanwen, with a smile on his face, neither too friendly nor too distant, "You're welcome, it's what I should do. Isn't He Yu here?"
Luo Shixi said: "Brother He just went out, why don't you sit here for a while?"
After Wang Hanwen thanked him, he sat on the long stool where He Yu had just sat.
Luo Shixi smiled at him and continued eating, while secretly looking at Wang Hanwen.
Wang Hanwen was dressed in a neat suit, spoke and behaved appropriately, and was tactful in his actions. He looked like a workplace elite.
While Luo Shixi was looking at Wang Hanwen, Wang Hanwen was also looking at him.
It turned out that this was the Luo Shixi that He Yu had mentioned.
Wang Hanwen has been busy with his studio's business recently, so he didn't pay attention to He Yu's show. Regardless, he heard the name "Luo Shixi" from many people, and the other party seemed to be quite popular.
However, he was impressed by Luo Shixi, and the biggest reason was that He Yu wanted to sign him into his studio.
Wang Hanwen broke the silence between the two: "Mr. Luo, I heard that you are interested in continuing to develop in the entertainment industry?"
Luo Shixi nodded: "Indeed."
"Then Mr. Luo, don't you consider finding an agency? Mr. Luo is already very popular, and I think many companies have offered you an olive branch."
Luo Shixi scratched the skin under his eyes and looked at Wang Hanwen: "Mr. Wang, you can just call me Xiaoxi."
Wang Hanwen was stunned, then smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaoxi."
"A lot of companies did approach me, but I rejected them all."
The conditions offered by those companies were very attractive and good, but Luo Shixi did not agree to any of them. Later, a company said that he was just waiting for a better price and wanted to sign with a better company.
Wang Hanwen said, "Xiao Xi, have you ever considered joining our studio? He Yu should have mentioned this to you before, I wonder how you think about it now? You should know He Yu's character after spending so much time with him, and he is trustworthy."
Luo Shixi: "Ah, this matter, I was just about to say it..."
"Hanwen," He Yu came in from the door and heard Wang Hanwen talking to Luo Shixi about this matter. He frowned and said, "He is sick. Why are you talking about this?"
Wang Hanwen looked at He Yu and said, "Just chat."
He Yu glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Luo Shixi interrupted and said, "Mr. Wang didn't say anything nonsense. I was just looking for an opportunity to talk to Brother He about this. I want to sign it under your name, Brother He."
He Yu walked over. Since there was only one stool next to the bed, he simply sat on the bed and looked at Luo Shixi's pale face which had just regained its color. "I haven't told you any contract or terms, and you want to sign it?"
"It doesn't matter. Any treaty is fine. I trust you anyway." Luo Shixi looked at He Yu with clear eyes. There was complete trust in his eyes, which he revealed in front of He Yu without reservation.
He Yu looked at his completely trusting eyes and was stunned, "Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?"
Luo Shixi was shocked: "Ah? Are you going to trick me?"
Hearing him ask this, a smile appeared on Wang Hanwen's stern face.
He Yu was even more amused and said, "I won't lie to you."
Luo Shixi nodded vigorously: "Yes, I believe you won't cheat me, so I want to sign under your studio, and I can accept any terms."
He paused, then added in a low voice: "That...cannot be a clause that is too extreme."
He Yu laughed, his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly curved.
Wang Hanwen thought that Luo Shixi had been rejecting olive branches from other companies because he was determined to sign under He Yu's name.
How would other companies feel if they knew that they could not beat He Yushi, who offered no conditions at all, even with such generous conditions?
He Yu patted Luo Shixi's head: "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
Luo Shixi raised his head and rubbed it in He Yu's palm.
Wang Hanwen acted quickly and showed the drafted contract to Luo Shixi the next day. Luo Shixi picked up the pen and was about to sign, but was stopped by He Yu with a sullen face.
Luo Shixi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"How can you be like this? You don't even read the contents of a contract before signing it," He Yu said, piling the contracts in front of Luo Shixi. "Read them carefully. Read them seriously. Each page should be read for at least three minutes."
"I believe you." Luo Shixi muttered.
Having said that, he also knew that He Yu was worried about him, so he read the contract carefully. After reading it, he found that the salary He Yu gave him was higher than those companies!
Looking at the benefits listed above, such as "four months of vacation every year", "free professional skills training", "a commercial apartment of more than 150 square meters in the city center", etc., Luo Shixi felt like he was dreaming.
He looked up at He Yu: "Is this really okay? Is it too much?"
He Yu just put his hands in his pockets and looked at Luo Shixi: "You are worth it."
Luo Shixi signed his name at the end and the agreement was reached.
"He will be your agent from now on." He Yu pointed at Wang Hanwen.
Luo Shixi didn’t know how famous Wang Hanwen was in the entire entertainment industry. He had produced many first-line stars and movie kings and queens. Even after he went out on his own, he had achieved remarkable results.
Wang Hanwen: "Xiao Xi, give me your social media account password, and post two more Weibo posts."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shixi took out his mobile phone and sent two Weibo posts, one to say that he was fine, and the other to officially announce that he had signed with He Yu's "Yufen Studio".
Luo Shixi stared at the name of the studio for a long time, then looked at the tall and long-legged He Yu and the shrewd and stern Wang Hanwen, with a big question mark on his head.
Who came up with this name?
As soon as He Yu saw Luo Shixi's expression, he knew what he was thinking. "Stop having those irrelevant thoughts in your head. Yufen is the name of my fans, that's it."
Luo Shixi suppressed his laughter: "Okay, boss, got it, boss!"
He Yu made a "tsk" sound.
===
The second public ranking has been announced. Luo Shixi's fans were deeply hurt by the fact that he had received a blocking injection. They voted like crazy in the last few days and were almost possessed.
As a result, Luo Shixi's ranking rose rapidly, and he finally successfully advanced to third place.
"It's a pity that you can't sit in the third place and feel it." Bai Jingzhou said as he peeled an apple for Luo Shixi. After peeling it, he ate half and gave the other half to Luo Shixi.
"Ah, that's a pity."
Although he said "what a pity", Luo Shixi picked up the apple pieces with toothpicks and ate them happily, without any regret on his face for not being able to be there in person.
To be honest, if it weren't for the difficulty in moving due to my leg being in a cast, there would be no better time than being in the hospital!
The production team returned his phone, and not only that, they also returned the game console that his fans gave him. When he had nothing to do, he would just lie on his bed and check Weibo or play games. Bai Jingzhou and his friends would often visit Luo Shixi, fearing that he would get bored.
Because he had too much free time, Luo Shixi even found a part-time job online. With his excellent college entrance examination scores, he worked as an online tutor for others, providing one-on-one professional tutoring and charging by the hour.
He also became a close friend of Grandma Zhang who was in the next bed. His greatest pleasure every day was to lie in bed, eating melon seeds, and listening to Grandma Zhang talk about her glorious deeds in the past when she was a flower in the village.
Bai Jingzhou looked at Luo Shixi, who was lying there like a salted fish, with a sad look in his eyes, "Your life is too comfortable."
Luo Shixi nodded with a smile: "It's so perfect!"
As he was talking, Bai Jingzhou almost forgot something important. "I was just about to tell you that the program team organized an outdoor trip to shoot more material and relax at the same time."
"Ah? I'm going too?" Luo Shixi said vaguely while biting an apple.
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. I think it's best not to go, so as to avoid further trouble."
Luo Shixi thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead, take my wheelchair with you. Oh, by the way, where is the location?"
Bai Jingzhou searched and told Luo Shixi: "Qihefang."
Luo Shixi's expression suddenly became strange: "Qihefang? Which Qihefang?"
"Qihefang in Jingyong City."
"Oh, there." Luo Shixi nodded.
Bai Jingzhou asked him, "What's wrong?"
"No, my hometown is over there." Luo Shixi took a bite of the apple with a "crunch".
If I were to travel, I would probably go to some sparsely populated area where I wouldn't run into those annoying people.
