Day 72
[Can anyone on the front lines reveal the vote count? It's urgent! Did I get first place in this treasure hunt?]
[Please be more serious and don't ask this kind of question. We have always been number one. Do you think that social popularity is just for show?]
[That’s right, if they hadn’t manipulated the ticket last time, how could YL be higher than us?]
[It's so funny, why didn't Ye Ma come to argue with you guys?]
[Ye Ma quietly appears and whispers that she dares not argue, saying that Xun Ma's fighting power is a bit too high.]
[Yeah, damn, last time we argued all night, I woke up with a headache at work this morning, and then the person I was with said she didn’t have early classes so she could continue arguing with me. I…]
[I know! I'm Hai Ma, and I argued with them last time because of something, but the woman on the other side was really clear-headed... the kind who doesn't swear but makes all kinds of jokes, which really broke my defense...]
[Girl? How could there be a girl who is older? Why is the mother I matched with a wealthy 40-year-old woman?]
[Rich woman? There are rich women? You quarreled with a rich woman? Aren't you afraid that they'll send bodyguards to scare you?]
[No, in the end she became my exclusive sister hehe]
[Full of tricks...]
[Cunning +1]
[Back to the point! Does anyone know who came in second? Although Ye Lai had a lot of votes previously, Min Hai has also become quite popular in the second public performance. A lot of people have been dyeing their hair that red.]
[Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, the trendy guys around me lately either have Fu Xunyan hairstyle or Min Hai hairstyle, but their cheeks can’t keep up.]
[What Minhae? It’s obviously Dalbae, he’s always leading in the votes.]
[I'll nominate Bai Wenji. His opera singing voice was even reposted by the Central Committee this time, and Director Qin also said he wants to invite him to sing for his new movie.]
[Is the competition for second place so fierce? I thought it was just Ye Lai.]
[Kid, open your eyes and see the world, seriously. Although Ye Lai had a lot of traffic at the beginning, to be honest, his choices were relatively conservative. Plus, the audience likes to see new faces, so his original fans have all left.]
[Ye Ma poked her head in. Honestly, I felt a little helpless. It seems like many other Ye Ma just like Ye Lai's performances, but as a long-time fan who has been following the show for three years, I actually hope Ye Zi can make some new breakthroughs... And it was really hard to be overshadowed by Fu Xunyan's popularity in the past.]
"All trainees, please gather in the studio. I repeat the notice: All trainees, please gather in the studio." The voice from the radio penetrated the entire base and reached everyone's ears.
Jiang Han was still secretly grabbing a snack at the convenience store. When he heard the notification and Bai Zhen poked his head out, he hurriedly stuffed the half-eaten sausage into his stomach.
By the way, the two of them quickly became close friends because they were both loyal fans of horror games.
After everyone had gathered in the studio, Fu Xunyan pulled Jiang Han over and stood him up straight, and Bai Zhen also stood at the edge of the first row.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhang Chi was catching up on his sleep in his bed in the dormitory. As the second public ranking approached, he lost his balance and suffered from insomnia all night. Coupled with his hot temper, the atmosphere in the dormitory reached its lowest point, and then a vicious cycle ensued.
He was wearing pajamas and pants that didn't match, and slippers on his feet.
Director Shen Ziqing, who had not been seen for a long time, looked at him and sighed, raised his finger and pointed to the five o'clock on his watch, as if he was not happy with him sleeping at this time.
Then he announced the good news to the other trainees in a kind tone.
"We'll be leaving the base shortly."
Leaving the base? The boys, who had been locked up for a month, were extremely excited.
"Why?" Liu Yongshan asked with his mouth wide open. "Aren't we under closed management?"
"Yes, so this time we're having a closed-door dinner together," Shen Ziqing replied. "Everyone has been on a diet for a month, so we're going to treat everyone to a delicious meal. We also want to thank everyone for the wonderful performances they've contributed to the show and the audience this month."
"Oh yeah! Sister Chen is so generous!" Liu Yongshan was overly happy.
But the trainees didn't bother to condemn Liu Yongshan's flattering "Sister Chen" and started shouting along.
Fu Xunyan was excitedly hugged by Jiang Han's shoulders and shaken around, and he smiled helplessly.
Zhang Chi finally regained his spirits and was about to run out with shining eyes, but was stopped by the staff with quick eyes and hands.
Zhang Chi didn't understand: "What's wrong? I'll go back and change my clothes."
A gruff voice urged from behind: "Are you still changing? It's already half past five. If you're not hungry, everyone else is. The bus is at the door, let's leave immediately."
The trainees looked at Zhang Chi's miserable condition and lamented how lucky they were that they didn't have to sleep in pajamas like him.
Zhang Chi was devastated, but was still tricked into getting on the car by the staff.
Fu Xunyan knew that Jiang Han and Bai Zhen were getting along well recently, and he didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he took the lead and sat next to Da Pei.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, this guy turned sideways and stared at him. His angular face was made to look even more like a sculpture by the sunset outside the window at around five o'clock.
He was born with a striking appearance, his jawline sharp, almost razor-sharp, yet smooth. His brow bones were high and straight, and his sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, making his deep eyes even more captivating.
His thin lips were always pursed into an indifferent arc, but the corners of his mouth were naturally slightly raised, as if he would pull out a heart-pounding smile at any time.
The lines of his neck and collarbone flickered with his breathing, his Adam's apple sharp as a blade, rolling up and down with his swallowing, making even the air seem thicker. His inverted triangle figure, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, was wrapped in a black shirt, and the undulating muscles beneath the fabric silently announced the explosive power contained in this body.
Perhaps in the analysis of all experts, Da Pei's facial features are not delicate, but no one can deny that he is very masculine.
"Hey handsome, long time no see." The ending tone was upturned, full of frivolity.
Fu Xunyan pushed his forehead away and said, "Don't be naughty. How can it be such a long time since we last met? What I saw last night was a ghost."
"Oh oh oh ~ Last night~" Liu Yongshan turned around suddenly and was punched on the forehead by Fu Xunyan.
The young man raised the corners of his eyes and raised his eyebrows a little. "Why? He and I share a dormitory, so how can we not see each other at night?"
Liu Yongshan turned back silently.
I was careless and was so engrossed in their sweet moments that I forgot they were roommates.
That couldn't be helped, because Second Master Fu Xunyan was often in the practice room, and the person he spent the most time with was even Zhou Qi...
After getting Liu Yongshan away, Fu Xunyan patted Dapei's thigh.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Da Pei: "How do you know I have something wrong?"
Fu Xunyan just smiled and said nothing.
"Okay." Da Pei spread his hands.
“I’m in The Switch.”
"Yeah, what happened to you in The Switch?"
"I want to change groups."
Huh? This was something Fu Xunyan hadn't expected. He blurted out, "That's not right. The Three Dukes can't choose freely. You..."
wrong!
Fu Xunyan figured out the problem.
It is possible for Dal-bae to change groups as long as there are more than five people left in the "Switch" group after the second public ranking.
"It seems that you have thought of it again. You are worthy of it!" Da Pei was funny again. He hugged Fu Xunyan's shoulders and rubbed them like a husky. They often played like this in the dormitory.
"Not to mention that Zhang Chi and R.TAI are both ranked within the top 20, there are also nine people between 20 and 30. It shouldn't take that many to be eliminated, so there's a good chance there will be redundancy. Then I can ask to leave."
"But this is a song that your fans selected for you, or even snatched for you. Is it really okay for you to do this?" Fu Xunyan asked.
Dal-bae didn't seem to care much.
"Oh, they might get angry, but I just want to do what I do. I've been rapping since my first song until now. Can't I try a different style?"
Fu Xunyan knew that from a personal perspective, Da Pei’s choice was correct, and it even had the positive meaning of breaking through himself.
He also supported it, although he was a little worried, but he still supported it.
An idol who only listens to his fans will never become an artist.
"actually."
The big boy smiled, the setting sun shone on his face, his hands, and his legs, and even his smile was blended into the golden color.
"I want to join your team."
Fu Xunyan couldn't understand this.
"'I get it'? Are you serious? Honestly, I can't picture it in my head right now."
"No, not "I get it", but with you."
His expression became calm, with a seriousness that Fu Xunyan had never imagined, so much so that he was speechless for a moment.
Those eyes were not looking at him, but looking straight ahead. His tone was still smiling as usual, but for some reason, Fu Xunyan felt a little bit of inexplicable loss from it.
Da Pei wouldn't tell him either.
I won’t tell him how envious he was when he saw the stage of “Cyber Love”.
And much jealousy.
Dabae has always considered himself very capable, regardless of past experiences, his current age, or anything else. Before entering the show, he hadn't considered ranking, regardless of whether he was first. He firmly believed that no evaluation system could fully and objectively reflect a person's ability.
But when facing Fu Xunyan, he had the thought for the first time that "I am indeed not as good as him."
Even for Ye Lai, Da Pei only acknowledged him as an idol who was more qualified than himself. But Fu Xunyan made him jealous.
The way he shone on the stage made him jealous.
What was even more frustrating was that Da Pei found that his heart told him that he would never be like him.
But his mind said, why not? Singing and dancing are just skills. Learning and imitating will always be the same.
So he wanted a stage to collaborate with Fu Xunyan.
A stage where his mind would admit that he would not catch up with that person, and his heart would stop being jealous.
After this stage, he would give up on surpassing Fu Xunyan in certain things. He had to accept this idea and return to where he shined, without any more unnecessary entanglements.
Only this stage can help him do it.
There is only this stage.
