Chapter 8
The initial evaluation ended in a dull and abrupt manner.
Xie Xichao entered the venue early, but was at the end of the order. The performances of the following groups of trainees were not satisfactory.
Of course, this can also be said to be the result of the previous being so exciting.
It was already 2:30 in the morning when it ended. Most people were drowsy, but the production crew was very humane and asked them to go back to sleep and rest, and then record the next segment the next day.
Ji Yan said hello to his companions, and then moved through the crowd very servilely, chasing after the back of a lone figure not far away: "Hey Brother Chao, wait for me!"
His voice echoed in the corridor, and everyone looked at him silently, but this time there was no curiosity in their eyes, instead...
Subtle envy?
Ji Yan blinked, then puffed out his chest proudly.
Hearing his voice, Jie Xichao stopped and waited for him.
His face was pale from staying up late.
"The production team is really good at dragging things out." Ji Yan muttered.
He feels sorry for his brother. When there was no recording, his brother was a good student who studied from 8 am to 11 pm every day.
Especially follow the doctor's orders.
Xie Xichao said, "It's okay."
It's over anyway.
The crowd moved slowly towards the dormitory. Neither of them was in a hurry. After a while, they both fell behind. In the early autumn season, there is a slight chill in the air late at night.
Jie Xichao felt a little cold, but the wind made him more sober. The boiling breath on the stage in his veins calmed down at this moment.
At this moment, a voice came from behind:
"Hello!"
Xie Xichao’s first reaction was “First of all, I won’t call…” Uh, that’s off topic.
He turned around and saw the boy who always looked arrogant standing behind him alone with his hands in his pockets.
Ai Qingyuan.
He hadn't removed his make-up yet and was still wearing that striking stage costume, which made him look tall and slender with a straight back, but his eyes had a complicated look.
Then, he slowly opened his mouth: "You said I made a mistake, but you were just taking advantage of the situation."
Xie Xichao paused.
Ji Yan on the side immediately became dissatisfied: "No, how can you say that, Brother Chao..."
Ai Qingyuan sneered.
"Little follower." he said.
Ji Yan: “…”
He finally understood why Young Master Ai's reputation for having a bad temper had spread so widely in the circle. This was entirely his own fault.
He was about to say something else, but Ai Qingyuan had already turned around.
It was as if he had been following Jie Xichao just to make that sarcastic comment.
-
On the way back, Ji Yan looked depressed.
Xie Xichao said: "Do you want me to curse you back?"
Ji Yan: “…”
ah?
He reacted; "No, no need, Brother Chao. I'm not depressed because of that."
"…But can you curse?" He was a little skeptical.
Xie Xichao said honestly: "Not really."
But you can try.
The main reason was that he didn't want to create a rift between him and Ji Yan because of this matter. Even though it seems like they aren't even friends.
If you have to count it, it's more like eating and practicing together?
Jie Xichao gave a definition.
Xie Xichao had friends in the past, both before the car accident and within the system.
But compared to the time of handover and rest within the system, the time in each mission world is always longer, so much so that he almost forgot what it feels like to have friends.
Ji Yan:.
He just knew it.
He said, “It’s all right.”
"Brother, you don't need to learn to curse." He said, "Your existence is already irritating enough."
He suddenly came to his senses.
Who is Ai Qingyuan?
It is said that the director of the program crew would be polite when he saw him. But for such a person to deliberately come over and mock his brother, what does it mean?
It shows that his defense is really broken, hahaha!
Young Master Ai broke through the defense for the first time in the history of the world, what a happy event.jpg
"Why didn't the production team let me take another test?" Ji Yan said, "Brother, you're obviously a good dancer."
Xie Xichao said: "No."
"Um?"
“The production team won’t let me take an extra test,” he said.
He clearly saw Dou Yu adjusting his headset, and he knew that was an instruction from the program crew. Otherwise, Dou Yu would ask him to take an additional test.

The two finally walked into the building and saw a lot of people crowding in front of the elevator. The dormitory was on the third floor, and the two of them walked towards the stairs on the side in tacit understanding.
As they walked, Xie Xichao coughed. Before Ji Yan came to his senses, he asked:
"……Why?"
He thought for a moment: "Because of the duration?"
The duration for each person is basically fixed.
The part where Jie Xichao first enters the venue and chooses his seat must be played, and this accounts for a part. In addition, after the performance, Lan Yezhou and Jie Xichao talked for a long time. Although it can be edited, it is also difficult to edit the conversation with cause and effect.
Xie Xichao's company will definitely not be able to get a debut spot, and he is an amateur with no fan base, so the program team cannot give him too much screen time.
Xie Xichao hummed, then said, "There is another reason."
Ji Yan thought about it.
Thought about it again.
He first looked at Jie Xichao, and then carefully recalled the performance just now.
at last……
I thought of Master Ai who came here to make harsh remarks like a primary school student.
He came to his senses.
"Fuck." He cursed with a smile, "Brother, are the production team afraid that you will compete for the C position?"
Xie Xichao said: "Little boy, please don't say bad words."
Ji Yan:.
"Brother, you are only one year older than me, so who are you calling a kid?" Ji Yan was not scared by him at all. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was an incredible thing. But if that's the case, it does make sense.
One aspect is the duration.
On the other hand, for idols, singing, dancing, rap, and stage performance are basically a comprehensive evaluation standard.
And Xie Xichao's performance was outstanding. His self-composed music is enough for him to break through the shackles of "one-sidedness" and get the highest grade. What if he adds other things?
Of course the production team can edit it, but...
Xie Xichao handed them the ready-made reason.
Not feeling well?
If you are not feeling well, go down and have a rest. Dancing is so tiring. :)

Ji Yan dared to bet that the above was definitely the real psychological activity of the production team at that time.
"Brother, you shouldn't have said that." Ji Yan said, "I really think you are better than Ai Qingyuan. Let's just fight for C."
Xie Xichao smiled and said nothing.
Seeing his meaningful reaction, Ji Yan felt that he had overthought. He scratched his head and was just thinking about it when they arrived at their dormitory.
The moment he saw the dormitory door, Ji Yan temporarily put aside the problem that he couldn't figure out.
He said, "Brother, did Ni Xin lose the bet you made with him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door in front of him opened with a swish, and the boy stood at the door with an ugly look on his face, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
*
Xie Xichao really forgot about changing dormitories.
He didn't take the bet to heart after that day, mainly because he remembered later that after the initial evaluation, the dormitories would be reallocated according to the evaluation levels.
Originally I wanted to change it because of the quarrel between Ni Xin and the others. Now there is only two or three days difference, so there is not much point in changing it.
He paused: "Morning?"
Ni Xin looked unhappy: "Are you very proud now?"
Xie Xichao: “…”
That's it.
"And then?" he asked.
Ji Yan on the side: "..."
have to.
His brother is starting to get so angry that he wants to kill himself again.
He stepped aside to watch the fun with other roommates. The other roommate glanced at him and silently moved away.
After getting Xichao's affirmation, Ni Xin became even angrier: "You did it on purpose!"
"You deliberately acted sick all day long to make everyone let down their guard against you, and then you stepped on us to get to the top!" He became more and more angry as he spoke, "You even made that kind of bet with me!"
Xie Xichao: “…”
My friend, just speak, but can you please be careful with your choice of words?
What kind of bet is that?
Having said that, he understood what the other party meant.
He said, “Yeah, so what?”
Ni Xin: “You!”
He was indeed furious. To be more precise, he was both ashamed and angry.
In a fit of rage, he put all the blame on Li Xichao.
He thought the other party would make excuses, but he didn't expect that the other party would just agree to it.
Like he didn't care at all.
I even asked him kindly, "By the way, when are you moving?"
Ni Xin: “…”
Ni Xin felt a mouthful of blood choking in his throat and felt like he was going to faint from anger.
He said incredulously, "We'll be moving to the dormitory the day after tomorrow!"
Is this person so unreasonable?
Xie Xichao thought for a moment.
Seeing that he finally stopped talking, hope suddenly ignited in Ni Xin's heart.
He swallowed and said, "Um, Xi Chao."
"We had a misunderstanding before." He said, "Look, it's troublesome for me to move around."
He held his breath and said, "I'll treat you to a meal. You can choose whatever you want to eat. Is that okay with you?"
Xie Xichao glanced at him: "Misunderstanding? You just..."
"I just got drunk." Ni Xin's face froze.
He suddenly regretted it.
In fact, Jie Xichao always seems to have a good temper. If you talk to him carefully, he may not necessarily hold it against you.
He had lost face in private, but they had to move to a new dormitory in two days. If he really moved out of the dormitory in disgrace today, the gossip about them would spread to the trainee group that night.
Only then would he be truly embarrassed.
and.
He had nowhere to go.
He took a deep breath and tried to speak calmly: "I didn't expect this."
"Come to think of it," he said, "You majored in mathematics, but you can also compose music. Who would have thought that?"
Who could have thought of this!
Ji Yan at the side exclaimed in amazement: "No, Ni Xin, you know that my brother is studying mathematics, and you two don't usually talk. Are you my brother's closeted?"
Ni Xin: “…”
No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak, thank you:)
He looked at Jie Xichao expectantly. Jie Xichao looked at him and his expression paused for two seconds.
Then he said, “That’s a bit troublesome.”
Ni Xin echoed: "It's really troublesome."
He made up his mind that if Jie Xichao didn't care about the bet, he wouldn't care about being dragged down in the same frame with Jie Xichao.
He could selectively forget about this matter and become superficial friends with Jie Xichao.
Then, he heard Xie Xichao say: "In this case, I won't embarrass you."
"It's really troublesome to move to the dormitory." He said kindly, "You can just... write a statement of the situation and post it on the wall outside the dormitory as a souvenir of our reconciliation. What do you think?"
