Chapter 71 Dormitory Raid
Looking back, dormitory raids are an integral part of many idol groups’ variety shows.
Even though the topic is old-fashioned, audiences and fans still enjoy watching it and find it fresh over and over again.
After all, the outside world doesn’t know much about the private lives of idols, but through dormitory raids, we can see another side of idols.
They may be bare-faced, lazy and sloppy, or neat and tidy and meticulous.
Idols are glamorous on stage, but their private lives are completely different. This contrast makes fans feel familiar with them, just like friends around them.
Although idols are admired by others, if they act too out of touch with reality, they will give people a sense of being out of reach, a masked image, and alienation.
This sense of alienation will also make fans lose a certain degree of sympathy, and produce negative thoughts such as "He is so good that he may not need me" or "This person seems fake and pretentious."
Therefore, it is not a bad thing to appropriately expose the idol's minor flaws. Instead, it makes them more like living people, rather than exquisite dolls packaged by capital.
Pineapple Entertainment, which started out as an entertainment and film platform, naturally knows what fans love to watch. So, Originore's group variety show naturally included this segment.
Of course, in order to ensure the authenticity of the members' reactions and the entertainment value of the program, the company did not inform them in advance.
They only know that a group variety show will be filmed today, but they don't know what the specific content will be.
At 5 a.m., comedian and talk show host Jin Li quietly arrived at the door of Originore's dormitory with a cameraman.
Worried that the members in the room might hear him, he whispered softly to the camera like a thief: "Guess where I am now?"
However, apart from the cameraman, there was no one else around to answer him. So he could only ask and answer himself -
"The answer is revealed. I'm now at the dormitory door of the popular idol boy group Originore."
"I'm sure everyone is curious about what the idol boy group's dorms are like."
"Come to think of it, we've seen what these guys look like in the dorms before when we watched the show. But this is the first time their dorm life after forming a group has been revealed."
"Honestly, I'm also curious about how their dormitory life has changed since then. So, let's take you to the scene to find out!"
As he spoke, Gionee took out a spare key.
In fact, Originore's dormitory door was equipped with a smart password lock, but using the password to open the door would sound a warning sound from inside the room. To avoid alerting the members, the company gave him a spare mechanical key for emergency use.
Since he was sneaking in secretly, Jinli dared not make any noise when he opened the door. However, the key inevitably made a sound when it was inserted into the lock, which made him feel more nervous.
To be honest, after recording so many variety shows, this is the first time he has such a strong sense of stealing.
Fortunately, the slight movement did not seem to attract the attention of the people in the room. After successfully opening the door, Jin Li breathed a sigh of relief and slowly entered the room.
Then, a gust of cool air from the air conditioner wafted out of the house.
Because it was summer, it was already bright at five o'clock, so even if the lights were not on in the house, Gionee could still see the scene clearly through the transparent glass windows in the living room.
Unexpectedly, the interior of the dormitory was very clean.
There are no scattered clothes and socks, no garbage about to overflow the trash can, no leftover takeout boxes, and no miscellaneous items piled everywhere.
Everything was neatly arranged, from the sofa to the tabletop chairs in the dining room. There was even a faint scent of lemon and verbena wafting through the air.
Jin Li was secretly amazed. The cleanliness of this dormitory was among the best among all the idol groups he had ever seen.
Feeling emotional, Jin Li quietly walked into the house with the photographer. He first walked around the living room and kitchen, then quietly walked straight to the bedroom opposite.
Just as he reached for the door handle of one of the rooms, he suddenly heard a "click" sound behind him.
Zheng Xingye walked out of the public restroom with messy hair and yawning.
Suddenly, he saw a group of uninvited guests in his house, and his sleepiness disappeared for a moment.
Before he could scream, he suddenly caught sight of the camera. Looking closely, he saw that it was none other than the talk show host Jin Li.
Seeing this, Zheng Xingye reacted immediately.
Wow, the recording of the group variety show has started already?
Jin Li originally planned to raid the members' bedrooms, but he happened to run into one of them. To avoid failure, he had to find a way to recruit him.
However, before Jin Li could speak, Zheng Xingye came over excitedly and asked in a low voice as if he was meeting with an underground party member.
"Brother, are you planning a surprise attack? Count me in."
Although he had watched the show and knew that Zheng Xingye was a very outgoing person, Jinli did not expect that he would be so outgoing that he would actively ask to join the group.
However, it would be best if Zheng Xingye was willing to cooperate, which would save Jinli a lot of trouble.
He nodded and said softly, "The group variety show has already started recording. Our first task today is to wake the members up."
"Since you are awake, you can wake them up instead of me."
Hearing this, Zheng Xingye's eyes lit up with anticipation: "Are you calling them one by one?"
Jin Li: “…”
I always feel that this guy seems to be very familiar with the routines of variety shows.
Complaining inwardly, Jin Li replied, "You can wake them up in any way you like."
"no problem."
Zheng Xingye is rubbing his hands and seems to be impatient.
Although he didn't know what the other party was going to do next, Gionee couldn't help but worry about the remaining members.
The first room Zheng Xingye entered was Room 4 where he and Cui Junxi lived.
Unlike the bright living room, the room was dimly lit because of the blackout curtains.
At this moment, Cui Junxi was still asleep.
Perhaps because the air conditioner was on in the room, he was wrapping himself tightly in the quilt at the moment, and from a distance he looked like a cocoon.
No one expected to see such a scene after opening the door.
Probably because I heard footsteps, I heard a vague sentence from under the quilt -
"Old Zheng, turn up the air conditioning a little higher."
However, Zheng Xingye ignored it and just smiled maliciously.
He took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight function, then shone the light under his face. Then he walked forward gently and pushed Cui Junxi, who was wrapped in a ball, with a sinister smile on his face.
Seeing the other party's actions, Gionee was stunned.
Wow, this is how you play it?
Although shocked by Zheng Xingye's inhumane behavior, Gionee couldn't help but look forward to Cui Junxi's reaction.
Without any hesitation, Gionee asked the photographer to point the camera at the person on the bed.
Cui Junxi seemed to be annoyed by Zheng Xingye's harassment in his sleep. His face wrinkled up and he reached out from the quilt to pull away the guy who was disturbing his sleep.
“Don’t make noise…”
However, just as he finished speaking, he felt a flash of light in front of his eyelids.
Slowly, he opened his eyes.
Then he saw figures standing beside the bed and a terrifying ghost face flashing with white light.
"Fuck!"
Cui Junxi woke up instantly.
Frightened to the extreme, he stepped back suddenly and rolled to the corner of the bed.
Zheng Xingye finally saw Cui Junxi's frightened expression and burst into laughter.
Jin Li was worried that his laughter would wake up the members in other rooms so he quickly stopped him.
Zheng Xingye quickly stopped laughing when he heard this, but from the way he kept shaking his shoulders, it was clear that he was very happy.
Seeing Zheng Xingye's ecstatic expression, Choi Junxi knew it was his doing. Just as he was about to explode, he saw the cameras and the Gionee in the room. For a moment, his brain, already somewhat paralyzed, slowly began to process the entire situation.
Afterwards, Choi Jun-hee, who was originally still dissatisfied with Zheng Xingye's teasing, suddenly showed a smile exactly like his -
"Are you guys playing a prank? Let me join in."
Jin Li: “…”
He just knew it.
However, this arrangement was what he expected, so the subsequent wake-up service naturally became a two-person service.
Given their boisterous personalities, there will definitely be something interesting to watch next.
Although a group of people made quite a noise in Room 4 just now, it seemed that the sound insulation of the dormitory room was good enough and no one was woken up early.
There were four rooms left. After some whispered discussion, Cui Junxi chose to go to Room 2 to wake up Lei Lie and Tao Xiaotie, while Zheng Xingye went to Room 1 where Sheng Yanyu and Zhong Gaoyi were.
As for Room 3 where Yi Chuheng and Xu Tingchuan were staying, and Master Bedroom 5 where Bai Li and Jiang Mo Nan were staying, the two decisively chose to give up.
Jin Li was a little confused when he saw this, and then he saw the two of them sighing with fear: "Because Chuan Ge and Bai Li are grumpy when they wake up. If we wake them up, we will probably get beaten."
Jin Li: “!!!”
Oh my god, are they so cruel?
Xu Tingchuan was fine, after all, he had a face that was not to be trifled with. But Bai Li looked like a frail handsome man, how could he...
Gionee was skeptical.
But on closer inspection, as members of Originore, they were naturally more familiar with their teammates' personalities than outsiders like them. Besides, as the old saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover, so perhaps what they said wasn't necessarily true.
Although he had already believed most of what the two said in his heart, he still decided to take a gamble.
After all, since we are here, we can't just do nothing.
Thinking about this, Jin Li finally walked towards Room 5 where Jiang Mo Nan and Bai Li were.
Whether Bai Li will really get angry is not the point for now, but there must be many fans who want to see Jiang Mo Nan’s sleeping face.
At worst, he could just stay away from Bai Li and go wake Jiang Mo Nan up.
Although he looks aloof, judging from his performance on the show, Jiang Mo Nan should be someone who is easy to get along with.
Jin Li held his breath and quietly opened the door.
The bedroom was quiet, with two human figures bulging out from the quilt on the bed. It looked like the two were still asleep.
Gionee heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but then another problem arose.
Which bed is Jiang Mo Nan's?
No matter on the left or the right, everyone covered themselves tightly with the quilt, so that even their heads could not be seen.
Is sleeping with the head covered like this a tradition in the Originore team?
Aren’t they afraid of suffocating when sleeping like this?
Confused, Jinli looked around and finally decided to choose the bed on the right.
Following Zheng Xingye's example, he also took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight.
In the dim light, he turned his backlit face towards the camera and mouthed the question to the cameraman: "How is it? Is it scary?"
The cameraman nodded.
Seeing this, Jin Li felt relieved, turned around and walked to the head of the bed, reached out and pushed it.
However, the moment his hand touched the quilt, the originally bulging human figure suddenly collapsed.
...Empty?
Before he could figure out what was going on, he suddenly felt a cold touch on his head.
What?
He subconsciously reached out to touch it, but the next second he touched a cold and rough strip.
……snake?
His brain told him the answer immediately.
Without caring about anything else, Jin Li screamed immediately——
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
At the same time, Zheng Xingye, who had just walked into Sheng Yanyu and Zhong Gaoyi's room to dress up as a ghost to scare them, heard the host's heart-wrenching scream from the opposite room before he could do anything.
The two people who were startled by the scream rubbed their eyes and climbed up from the bed. Just as they were about to ask what was going on, they suddenly saw a pale human face "floating" in the room.
Then...
“Oh my god—!”
Zhong Gaoyi, who was extremely afraid of ghosts, screamed and backed away in fear. Sheng Yanyu, who was closest to him, subconsciously tried to jump out of bed and escape, but accidentally bumped into the bedside lamp. For a moment, the room was filled with noise.
At the same time, Cui Junxi, who was responsible for scaring Lei Lie and Tao Xiaotie, also heard their screams as he wished.
The screams coming from three rooms one after another completely broke the tranquility that should have existed in this morning.
"Bang--!"
Xu Tingchuan, who was unable to sleep due to the noise outside, opened the door with a dark face and yelled, "What are you doing? Are you going to let me sleep?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cameramen carrying cameras at the doors of other rooms all turned around.
Seeing this, Xu Tingchuan was suddenly stunned.
...What's going on?
In room 5, Bai Li and Mo Bei, who had admired Jin Li's terrified expression in the dark, pushed the door open and walked out of the bathroom nearby.
In fact, when the dormitory door was opened by Jin Li and the crew, Bai Li and Mo Bei had already noticed it.
Mo Bei, who was well versed in variety show routines, could probably guess what the other party was going to do. So Bai Li came up with this plan to counterattack.
The curtains were drawn open, and the dark room suddenly became bright.
At this point, Jin Li had already realized that he had been tricked. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the strip of matter that he had thrown far away.
Well, as expected, it was a toy snake.
Gin Li, who had intended to scare others but was unexpectedly outmaneuvered, coughed and feigned composure as he looked at the two of them. "When did you discover us?"
"Just now."
Bai Li naturally didn't tell the crew about the barrier he'd set up in the dormitory, so he could sense any intruders. He only omitted the key point and said, "Old Zheng and his family were making so much noise in their room, it was impossible for us not to notice."
If someone plays the bad guy, someone else has to play the good guy.
Aside, Jiang Mo Nan apologized, "We thought it was Old Zheng who came in to scare us, but we didn't expect it to be you. I'm so sorry."
Jin Li was not the type to get angry over a little prank played by the members. He just laughed it off and said it was okay. He then asked, "Who came up with this idea? You almost scared me to death just now."
"I."
Bai Li raised his hand readily. "This toy snake was brought by Zheng Xingye from home. I found it interesting a few days ago and asked him to borrow it to play with. I didn't expect it to come in handy."
Jin Li looked embarrassed, then said, "Since everyone is awake, let's gather in the living room."
"You still have a mission to complete today."
