Desensitization therapy
The square dance lineup of the men's group organized by Yi Jingchen not only invited the heavyweight guest Gu Sijun, but also the blind follower Li Jibai to join the group.
At a glance, the "Square Dance Men's Group" can barely be considered to have taken shape.
[Cat nods.jpg]
Gu Sijun never expected that Yi Jingchen's request to repay his kindness was to let him be the lead dancer of his square dance troupe!
As a national-level dancer, Gu Sijun has led group dances in the Spring Festival Gala, performed on international stages, and won legendary honors in the dance field.
The smallest stage in recent times is also the mentor show of "Super Idol".
At this moment, facing a venue without any stage design, without any scenery, and even the "square" was extremely simple, Gu Sijun was even a little confused:
Is my career declining so quickly?
"Teacher Gu, come on! I'm ready. I will definitely learn the theme song today!" Yi Jingchen occupied the position with the best view and was eager to try.
After practicing for several hours yesterday, Yi Jingchen only learned the beginning and the end.
He unilaterally attributed the slow progress to Du Xingwei.
[Mushroom-senpai's theme song dance was good, but it didn't have the same energy as square dancing.]
[It's so inappropriate for a 17-year-old boy to be doing square dancing. He should be doing radio gymnastics in the school playground!]
Du Xingwei: “……?”
There is no radio gymnastics at Hell Factory, sorry to disappoint you.
Senior Mushroom turned his head away in anger, and the colorful spores slid out a gorgeous arc in the air.
Yi Jingchen knew nothing about this, as if he hadn't offended enough people, so he kept shaking and talking nonsense.
[Instructor Gu is different! His age is closer to the square dance audience group.]
[And after his breakup yesterday, he secretly cried for half the night and looked ten years older!]
[It feels totally natural to be part of the Sunset Red team~]
With just a few words, he severely offended Gu Sijun several times and caused serious harm.
Gu Sijun felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and almost wanted to sing "Thank You" to Yi Jingchen.
Thanks to this kid, Gu Sijun really didn't have the energy to think about the 'shadow of a broken heart' anymore.
It is more important to teach Yi Jingchen a lesson quickly and stop him from bothering me!
"Yi Jingchen," Gu Sijun called out to him, "Be serious!"
"Ah? I'm serious." Yi Jingchen blinked blankly.
He deliberately chose the middle position, with a very positive learning attitude, and waited for Gu Sijun to start leading the dance.
"You're not in the right state, too reserved." Gu Sijun didn't start immediately, but instead slowly and methodically explained to them the sport of 'square dancing'.
"When I went back to my hometown a while ago, I actually danced square dance with my mom. Through my observation and personal experience, square dance is definitely the most free and diverse dance style." Gu Sijun glanced at the trainees standing upright. "You're too tense. Dancing just to learn has lost its original relaxing and leisurely nature."
While Gu Sijun was speaking, several contestants passed by and stopped to listen.
"Ah? What should we do then?" Yi Jingchen's face was full of worry.
[No wonder I always felt like something was wrong. Turns out I wasn't doing authentic square dancing!]
Gu Sijun: "How about this, those of you who want to dance stand in front, and I'll arrange the formation for you first."
Upon hearing this, Yi Jingchen and several of his regular companions immediately rushed to Gu Sijun.
Several contestants who were watching nearby actually noticed them dancing square dance outside yesterday.
However, because the temperature outside is too low, and "square dancing" is almost rustic and vulgar, it will affect the status of the boy group idols.
Even if they don't have a lot of clout now, what if they become famous someday? Will square dancing affect their chances of getting endorsements from luxury brands?
The trainees all have dreams that soar into the sky, and they especially look down on those who dance square dance.
Now there is Gu Sijun to support the scene, and the orthodox idol from Hell Factory, Du Xingwei is also mixed in.
Neither of them is afraid that square dancing will affect their top luxury, so how can an obscure trainee have the nerve to be so pretentious?
Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds and then stood over hesitantly.
In a short while, more than a dozen people gathered.
In the real square dance market, it can also occupy a small area.
"Du Xingwei, Cen Hao, you two come stand in the front row." Gu Sijun waved his hand and pulled the two best dancers in the middle to the front.
"If you observe square dancing carefully, you'll find that although the formations are random, they actually have their own set of rules. The front row, in the middle, is the team's best and most soulful dancer, who can inspire those behind them."
"Then the rest of you who dance decently will stand in the middle area to support the entire dance troupe and prevent the place from collapsing."
Gu Sijun walked to the end of the team and waved to the three rookies Yi Jingchen, Mu Gan, and Li Jibai, "You three stand on the outside of the circle and dance with them."
Mu Gan gulped down his bottle of Wangzai milk and jumped to the assigned position.
"Okay." Li Jibai responded with a serious attitude and quickly found his position.
"So far?" Lu Jiu, who had managed to squeeze into the front row, looked back at the distance between them and sighed softly.
Yi Jingchen looked at him from a distance and felt insulted.
[Isn't this too far? Does Teacher Gu hold a grudge?]
[When Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, its defenses weren't this strong!]
[Are you afraid that we will learn it?]
Gu Sijun had of course heard his complaints, and helplessly explained, "Yi Jingchen, you've interviewed square dancers before, so you should know that many square dancers started out by standing outside and watching, right?"
Yi Jingchen nodded obediently, "Yeah, I know."
"Most people, when they first try square dancing, stop and watch, then follow along from a distance. Gradually, after learning, they join the dance group, moving to the middle or even the front row."
Gu Sijun told him slowly:
"This seemingly disorganized team actually has a hidden promotion mechanism. Do you understand?"
"Oh, I understand!" Yi Jingchen's eyes lit up and he looked back at the dance arranged by Gu Sijun.
From a certain perspective, the ratings of square dance teams and theme songs have the same purpose.
Yi Jingchen’s current level is only enough to stand in the corner and watch the powerful players at the top of the pyramid shine.
As long as he practices hard and jumps from the outside to the inside and then to the front row, he will be qualified to compete with those players.
Moreover, this formation can greatly stimulate a boy... especially a boy who is deeply addicted to hot-bloodedness and is always in the second year of middle school.
Yi Jingchen looked at the back of the person in front of him and instantly felt full of fighting spirit.
He turned around and found that he was not the only one full of fighting spirit.
"Senior." Li Jibai clenched his hands at his sides into fists, "Let's move forward together and stand at the pinnacle of this system!"
Yi Jingchen saw the fire burning in his eyes and calmed down for 0.5 seconds.
[We, Chuunibyou, are so easy to grasp...]
[Laughing, who would take it seriously if standing at the top of this system is so shameful——]
"Okay!" Yi Jingchen nodded and said proudly, "Stand at the top of this system!"
[Hahahaha! You two have had enough of your chuunibyou!]
Are there any friends from University A? Is your school's selection criteria for who is the most immature?
[What's A University? What's the campus hunk? Is there such a thing? (Acting crazy and stupid)
[Help! I don't know Yi Jingchen and Li Jibai, but I know middle school boys all too well! They might actually rush to the front hand in hand.]
[Hand in hand? Take a bite!]
[No way, sir, can you even ship this? CPs can be unpopular but not weird.]
After Gu Sijun roughly arranged the positions, he returned to the front of the team and led them in dancing the theme song.
The security guard who came out to watch the fun cooperated and pressed the play button on the speaker.
The moment the accompaniment sounded, the trainees who had finally overcome that hurdle and convinced themselves that "square dancing is a refined art" were completely stunned by the magical music of "Hi, hi, hi, hi, let's have fun tonight, everyone, have fun together".
Where's the promised theme song?
Why is the accompaniment "Hi Enough"?
How will they survive in the idol world if they dance to such earthy, vulgar and low-brow songs?
They can even imagine that after the dance, they will be ridiculed to death by the trainees in the same company, and the video will become a 1080P high-definition black history, which will be brought out every time there is a fight in the fan circle to whip the corpse!
"Hurry up and dance!" Du Xingwei turned around and urged them when they saw that they didn't move. "Actually, the rhythm of 'Hi Enough' is similar to 'Super Pick', but it's more dynamic. You'll be hooked after dancing it twice!"
Considering Mushroom's status among the trainees, the other contestants hesitated for a moment, finally overcame their inner shame, and began to move their bodies to the music.
After jumping twice, they found that—
grass!
This song is damn addictive!
As the day gradually brightened, more and more athletes went to the training building after breakfast, and they always stopped to watch when passing by this area.
Some younger brothers watched for a while, and then decided to join the team if they couldn't beat them, and walked into the team and danced with them.
More younger brothers still have the burden of being idols, and they draw a clear line with them as if avoiding the virus, and return to the spacious and bright training rooms with professional equipment to train.
The girls standing outside the railings felt mixed emotions.
Fortunately, many of my younger brothers were out practicing today, so I didn't have to worry about not being able to take photos. As long as my camera had enough batteries, I could even take photos of my younger brothers all day long!
What’s worrying is that the content of the live broadcast turned out to be the “Hi Guys” square dance!
If I were to run into my old girlfriend who used to chase stars with me and let her see the footage I’ve shot, she’d definitely laugh at me for having such a drastic drop in taste.
They chase stars, brag about endorsing top luxury brands, and attending international fashion weeks, and they think they are so high-end, classy and classy!
What about them?
Do you brag that you are really good at square dancing and have already joined the circle of front-row soul dancers?
So shameful!
It’s despairing just to think about it!
You know, there is also a chain of contempt in the star-chasing world.
My idol is dancing square dance with his head held high and his chest puffed out, but I might never be able to hold my head up in front of my fellow fans...
The fans all showed resentful looks, their gazes sharper than the cold wind, piercing Pick's brother's back fiercely.
After watching for a while, they felt more and more subtle...
Although square dancing is low-level, when everyone gets together to learn it, the progress is really fast.
Look at my younger brother, his dancing is getting more and more standard.
If he practices for a few more days, wouldn't his professional skills be better than other idols?
In the future, if there are conflicts among fans, it will be a perfect source of material for slander.
As for the extremely earthy accompaniment...
The sisters comforted each other:
There's no rule that requires you to use the original accompaniment when posting a straight shot, right?
When the time comes, you can change to a high-end and elegant accompaniment and continue to play!
When the fans saw that their brothers were dancing better and better, they immediately became enthusiastic and picked up their cameras to take candid photos of the brothers they picked.
The square dance troupe danced many times in a row. After taking pictures of the brothers they liked, they also took a few pictures of the brothers around them who they liked.
Yesterday, many fans took photos of Yi Jingchen, and several of them even registered photo sites specifically for him.
Although as an idol, Yi Jingchen's appeal is not very strong, and his strength is obviously weak.
But he must take photos frequently in private, and he has an amazing sense of camera and can lock the camera accurately.
You can produce amazing pictures with just a casual shot, which greatly reduces the workload of the fans.
The fans thought that since they were already here, they couldn’t just sit there and watch the wind blow for nothing, so they took a few candid shots of Yi Jingchen.
As they filmed more and more, the fans were surprised to find that in just one day, Yi Jingchen's dancing skills were visibly getting better and better.
By the afternoon, he was actually able to basically keep up with the accompaniment and complete the entire dance!
Although some of his moves were not as good as those of other contestants due to the difference in strength, he basically danced well.
The fans watching outside the railings and the netizens in the live broadcast room were all surprised by Yi Jingchen's speed of progress.
Yi Jingchen is really good! Yesterday he was terrible at dancing, only knowing the beginning and ending poses, but today he can even follow the interlude smoothly.
Does Melon King really have no dance foundation? I practice all day and night, but I can never dance like him.
"You haven't noticed the scariest thing. From this morning until now, the other contestants have only danced a few times and then rested. Except for lunch, when he went back to the dorm to feed the cat, King Melon hasn't rested at all!"
[Isn't he tired? The theme song is quite strenuous. Du Xingwei would stop and breathe after dancing three or four times. What kind of stamina monster is Yi Jingchen!!!]
[Back upstairs, although Senior Yi Jingchen has no dance background, his physical strength is definitely better than that of the average trainee. He has always been the long-distance running champion in the school sports meet. I heard that before becoming a current affairs reporter, he was working as a poverty alleviation reporter.]
What's wrong with poverty alleviation reporters? They're just civilians, so how can their physical strength be any better?
Poverty alleviation reporters are different, and Senior Yi reports on those who face the greatest hardship. He covers dozens of kilometers of mountain roads on foot, and he often helps locals with chores and household chores.
When he was an intern reporter working on poverty alleviation, his output was higher than that of full-time journalists. Later, he became a current affairs reporter. Because he had offended too many powerful people, he took time out to exercise and learn self-defense. It is said that he even won the national fighting championship.
[So… Yi Jingchen looks so useless, but he’s actually a stamina monster. He probably has six-pack abs when he takes off his clothes.]
[Six is a conservative number. I'll give you a number: eight!]
[Help! I'm so into this little white flower that looks so soft and weak, but can actually smash your head with one punch. I'm going to start being a pink melon king!]
[+1, Melon King, let me lick your abs. I'll vote for you every day from now on~]
[The Internet is not a lawless place. Put on your pants and don’t be shy.]
"It's getting dark, let's stop here for today."
After all, Gu Sijun was more than ten years older than the trainees. After training with them for a whole day, he was a little physically exhausted, so he just ended the training before dark.
The group of guys at the back were already tired, but seeing that Instructor Gu was still diligently leading them, they didn't say anything discouraging about wanting to rest.
When the brothers heard the words "Practice to here", they jumped for joy and felt that it was the most wonderful sound from nature!
“Okay, okay!”
"Teacher Gu, you've worked so hard. Get some rest and don't be too sad... Ouch!"
"Shut up and stop talking. Mr. Gu just broke up, and you think he's not haggard enough?"
Gu Sijun was speechless.
Thank you. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that I had just broken up.
The miserable mentor Gu was once again shrouded in the haze of a broken heart, until——
[Huh? You're not practicing at 7 o'clock? I haven't danced enough yet.]
[You trainees are too weak, you're still so young and can't do it. Look at those professional square dancers, they dance until late at night.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, you guys deserve to have no nightlife!]
“…”
Is this what nightlife means?
Isn’t it because we abide by the male ethics that we don’t have a nightlife?
Also, those grandpas and aunties who dance in the square don’t start dancing at 7 o’clock in the morning!!!
The brothers were already exhausted, but when they faced Yi Jingchen, they had so many curse words in their hearts that they couldn't even utter a word, and were almost mad to death.
Gu Sijun held his waist and panted for a while, looked at Yi Jingchen who was still unsatisfied, and silently gritted his teeth.
never mind.
He warned himself.
What bad intentions did Yi Jingchen have? He just wanted to practice a little longer.
It's a good thing that the little loser is willing to work hard, but we should not undermine the child's self-confidence.
Gu Sijun: "Yi Jingchen, come to my lounge later."
Yi Jingchen let out an "ah", his mind filled with thoughts.
[The legendary little black room play?]
[Teacher Gu, feeling desperate after his breakup, has finally decided to attack me?!]
[No, we are two different species. Forcing a union will definitely not bring happiness.]
[Counselor Gu, can't you just hold back a little longer? While I'm eating my fill, I'll pick out a few contestants in the base who are looking for boyfriends and recommend them to you...]
"Yi Jingchen!"
Gu Sijun held his breath in anger.
"Come to my lounge and practice dancing alone!" Afraid that he would start to overthink things again, Gu Sijun emphasized, "After that incident, there are also cameras in the instructors' lounge."
Even if Gu Sijun didn't say it explicitly, the onlookers knew that "that thing" referred to the collapsed pentagonal warriors.
All the shots taken at that time were taken by Yi Jingchen using a hidden camera. Half of the view was blocked by the rose brooch, causing the onlookers to exclaim that the experience was not good.
I bought VIP membership specifically, and the crappy program team let me watch this?
Are consumers still your gods?
Therefore, the production team installed cameras in the mentors' lounge overnight and also specifically notified each mentor to prevent them from doing anything in the lounge.
"Is that so..." Yi Jingchen walked up to Gu Sijun, patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Teacher Gu, don't be too disappointed."
[Even if we can’t play in the lounge, we can still go to the locker room~!]
“!!!”
When Yi Jingchen mentioned the locker room, the trainees who had not yet dispersed wanted to rush over and cover his mouth.
Please, leave some pure land for the poor trainees!
If the production crew installed cameras in the locker room, not only would they have no privacy, they might even have no underwear!
Fortunately, Yi Jingchen was just thinking casually and quickly changed the subject.
"Can I bring the original body with me? It's been cooped up in the dormitory all day and must be bored."
After Gu Sijun's communication, the program team agreed to let Yi Jingchen keep a cat in the dormitory, but asked him not to let the cat out casually so as not to disturb other trainees.
Just like a conservative parent who initially disagrees with their child having a pet.
Haha, it will smell really good sooner or later!
Maybe in the end, the trainees will be asked to move the camera to the main character to avoid blocking the main character's C position.
Gu Sijun was the original body's "former father" after all, and had a certain obligation to raise it, so it was natural for him to agree.
Half an hour later, Yi Jingchen knocked on the door of Gu Sijun's lounge, holding a cat that looked very similar to himself.
Gu Sijun had just finished taking a shower, washed off the sweat, changed into his daily clothes, and stood by the window to talk to his family on the phone.
"Mom, Yaoyao and I really broke up."
"The reason...don't worry about it. We can't get back together anyway."
"Second Aunt wants to arrange a blind date for me? Meet tomorrow? But I have an announcement tomorrow, I..."
Before Gu Sijun could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the other party.
Although Yi Jingchen couldn't hear the voice from the other side, he could roughly guess what it was saying. He held the cat in his arms and whispered quietly beside him:
"Son, you're already thirty years old this year, and you're almost forty. You have to hurry up!"
"Second Auntie is doing this for your own good. Look at that guy next door, that guy, and that guy, they already have three children."
"My biggest dream in this life is to have a big fat grandson..."
"Enough!" Gu Sijun glanced at Yi Jingchen, signaling him to shut up.
Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Gu on the phone heard it, her voice suddenly rose octaves.
"What's your attitude?! Mom worked so hard to raise you, and you're so unhappy just because I say a few words!"
"Mom, you misunderstood. I wasn't talking about you. I've been very busy with work lately and don't have time for blind dates. I'll call you when I'm done!" Gu Sijun quickly comforted his mother, hung up the phone, and looked at Yi Jingchen, who looked innocent.
Yi Jingchen silently lifted the cat to cover his face.
[Oops, I got too carried away.]
[Is Mr. Gu going to hit me? He's using his godson to block it. He can't hit me in the face this time.]
[Cute and fun.jpg]
Before Gu Sijun could even lash out, the entire live broadcast room was already filled with laughter.
[Melon King, you're afraid now, but you were imitating me so enthusiastically just now~]
[xswl! Gua Wang has a wealth of social experience, and his imitation of Gu Mama's tone is simply amazing]
Who understands?! I watched Gu Sijun, the elegant dancer who was as calm as a chrysanthemum on the first stage, become so angry at Yi Jingchen. I was actually a little moved.
[+1, Gu Sijun's ten-year fan is in tears! Old Gu is good in every way, except for his lack of temper. He's so quiet on variety shows that he's criticized for his lack of presence, and in private, he's so nice to everyone around him that it makes his girlfriend and family... sigh.]
[Instructor Gu is in a good mood. Although the trainees are the most important thing in a talent show, the flesh-and-blood mentors really touch my heart!]
[+1, Mr. Gu, feel free to hit Yi Jingchen, just don't hit his main character. If anyone insults you, I'll defend you.]
Yi Jingchen: Is there no one speaking up for me?
Gu Sijun was naturally good-tempered, so he endured it in the end and didn't beat up the innocent little loser.
It was already late, so he got straight to the point.
"When you were dancing outside just now, I saw that you were almost able to jump down, but some of your movements were not standard enough." Gu Sijun showed his working attitude, raised his chin and gestured, "Now dance again separately, and I will help you correct it."
"Okay." Yi Jingchen put his main body on the sofa, rubbed it twice, and then stood in front of Gu Sijun.
He raised his hands and made the movements to prepare for the theme song.
Then--
Stuck.
Yi Jingchen looked ahead blankly.
After dancing behind others for a whole day, Yi Jingchen felt very uncomfortable when there was suddenly no reference point in front of him.
Gu Sijun saw his predicament, turned his back to Yi Jingchen, and stared at the glass in front of him.
"Yi Jingchen, follow me now."
"Oh! Okay!" Yi Jingchen responded hurriedly, imitating Gu Sijun's movements seriously.
Gu Sijun jumped a few times, and when he saw Yi Jingchen was getting into the mood, he stopped.
Yi Jingchen jumped stiffly a few times and froze in place again.
He realized: he could only watch others dance.
Gu Sijun looked at him straight in the eyes and asked, "You said today that you wanted to dance to the center of the square dance matrix. Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious." Yi Jingchen's eyes were clear.
Yi Jingchen didn't know why others wanted to achieve what position.
But his goal is only the highest position.
otherwise……
Rather than rewriting his graduation thesis, it would be better to let him start his life over again!!!
He laughed very wildly.
My host is really easy to control~
When Gu Sijun mentioned his professional field, his tone seemed to have changed. "If that's the case, you can't keep staring at other people's backs."
"Now, and even more so in the future."
The C position will not look at other people's backs, but will leave their backs to others.
Yi Jingchen listened carefully, his expression serious for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you, Mr. Gu."
He closed his eyes, recalled the next moves, and completed the dance with difficulty.
"You danced well." Gu Sijun applauded his poor performance of the theme song, "You've made great progress."
"……Well."
[Teacher Gu, you praised my dancing, don’t you feel guilty?]
[To boast about this level of skill is simply a case of being blinded by greed.]
[Alas, the blow of heartbreak is indeed too great.]
Gu Sijun: “…”
[Nude, whatever, there is nothing in the world I care about anymore.]
He finally understood.
Yi Jingchen mentions heartbreak every three sentences on average, is it just to desensitize himself?
