Ye Ying really didn't expect He Xizhou to choose him as his teammate.
Firstly, he is totally unsuitable for this style. Secondly, his strength level is so far behind He Xizhou that he can easily hold the opponent back.
The other students were also very surprised. After all, Ye Ying had always been gentle and fresh, and he was the type who was good at standing still and singing quietly. They really couldn't imagine what it would be like if Ye Ying stood on the stage and sang happily...
Pan Li noticed that Ye Ying was hesitant and reminded her, "If you don't want to choose this song, you can refuse."
Before Ye Ying could speak, He Xizhou suddenly called him, "Ye Ying."
"If you believe me, come here." He Xizhou looked at him, "I won't cheat you."
Perhaps it was because his eyes were too serious, or perhaps it was because his tone was too firm, with a kind of magic that made people want to believe in him involuntarily. Ye Ying exhaled, walked out from the crowd of students, and went straight to He Xizhou.
He Xizhou seemed to be very happy about the boy's final choice. With an obvious smile on his lips, he stretched out his hand and clapped hands with Ye Ying. Ye Ying stood behind him, still a little uneasy, and asked in a low voice: "Why did you choose me? You know my level, I will be a drag."
He Xizhou put one hand on the "lemonbomb" signboard and said to him sideways: "I know your level. It's impossible for you to be a drag. This is the first reason."
Ye Ying's heart seemed to be gently hit by something.
"The second reason is that it is not difficult to be remembered and liked by the audience, but if you want to be the only one in their hearts, you have to make yourself irreplaceable." He Xizhou said, "You have to believe in your potential and have the courage to challenge different styles."
"Besides, trying new things is very exciting and addictive." The boy smiled a little wickedly, "You will like this feeling."
The fourteen center-position students chose their teammates in turn, and eventually all fourteen teams were formed. The final seven members of "lemonbomb" were He Xizhou, Ye Ying, Luo Zihui, Qi Rui, Yan Hong, Zhao Liang, and Fang Ling.
Because of the variety of songs and the double selection rule, most students finally chose their favorite songs, and some were eager to start practicing. Pan Li said: "There is still half a month before the first performance, so there is plenty of time for practice. But considering that most students have no stage experience before, they may be nervous when performing in front of the audience for the first time, so the program team decided to take time this afternoon and evening to let everyone go out and perform freely!"
Many people became excited when they heard this: "Free performance? Does that mean we can go outside the base?"
Pan Li smiled and said, "Yes."
"yeah!!!"
The boys jumped and cheered. For more than a week during the program recording, they had been completely locked up in this base, without cell phones or internet. Every day, they suffocated themselves except for eating, sleeping and practicing. Now they heard that they had a chance to go out, even if it was only for less than a day, they were extremely happy.
Pan Li said: "The program team will take you to the city by bus. You can decide the performance location by yourself. Of course, the more people there are, the better, such as shopping malls, bars, parks, streets, etc. You can choose to perform alone or form a group with others. No matter how much fun you have, all students must return here before 12 o'clock at night. Is there a problem?"
The boys all answered loudly in unison: "No!"
"Okay. Seize the opportunity and go have a good time!"
——
After the breakup, the trainees went to the restaurant to eat, while excitedly discussing where they would perform in the afternoon.
Dormitory 211 is used to eating together. Xu Qiongzhi said excitedly: "Song Yuan and his friends came to see me just now. We are going to perform at Baige Square in the afternoon. Have you decided where to go?"
Luo Zihui said: "I think I will go with Brother He and the others and ask him later."
Although it is a rehearsal performance in preparation for the first performance, it is still a formal appearance in front of the public. If the performance is good, it is equivalent to an opportunity to attract fans and votes, so the students still attach great importance to it. A single performance is weak and not easy to attract attention. A temporary group with unfamiliar students lacks tacit understanding and may not produce ideal results. Therefore, many students will choose to form a group with teammates from the same company, or stay in the same team as the first stage.
People like Song Yuan mentioned by Xu Qiongzhi were the students who performed Chinese style with him on the first stage.
Fu Yulin and Zhao Sinuo also said that they have already contacted their teammates from the same company, and they will probably go to places like shopping malls where there is a large flow of people.
Xu Qiongzhi: "Where's Yingying? Where are you going?"
Ye Ying picked out the diced carrots from the dish and put them aside. After hearing this, she said, "I haven't decided yet."
"Why don't you join us?" Xu Qiongzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, "I haven't performed with you before!"
"He's not with you."
A voice suddenly interrupted, accompanied by the sound of the iron dinner plate being placed on the table. Everyone turned their heads and saw He Xizhou sitting down to the right of Ye Ying very naturally. He glanced at the diced carrots he had picked out from his plate and said, "So picky about food? No wonder you're so skinny."
Everyone: “…”
Bro, where did you come from?
Except for Luo Zihui and Li Jingfei, the others in the 211 dormitory were not familiar with He Xizhou. They were a little confused when they saw this guy suddenly appear, and they didn't know whether to greet him. It was Luo Zihui who asked first: "Brother He, you just said that Ye Ying is not with Xiao Xu?" He reacted, "Then is he with us?"
He Xizhou: "We won't take him either."
Everyone: “…………”
So what do you mean!!
Everyone had a puzzled look on their faces. Ye Ying blinked slowly, not quite understanding He Xizhou's intention.
If someone who didn’t know the situation was here, they would probably think that He Xizhou was “bullying” Xiao Ye and was isolating her on purpose.
"You still remember the questions we talked about before." He Xizhou said to Ye Ying, "expression, sight, eyes."
He Xizhou knew very well what kind of person Ye Ying was - he was smart, serious, hardworking, and learned at an amazing speed. He had almost no obvious shortcomings, except for one -
He lacks the desire to show himself.
Ye Ying has all the qualities that a qualified idol should have, except for this one. He can practice a dance hundreds of times tirelessly, but it is only because of the habit of doing everything to the best of his ability, not because he wants to show himself and let everyone see him.
It's not that He Xizhou is arrogant, but wherever he is, he is the absolute center of attention. The more this is the case, the less sense of existence Ye Ying has next to him. He wants Ye Ying to be his teammate, not just his foil.
He wanted to let the boy shine with his own light, and then stand with him in the center of everyone's attention with the same eye-catching posture.
"Today, don't hide in the crowd, and don't stand behind anyone." He Xizhou said, "Show yourself and let everyone see you."

In the afternoon, the students walked out of the base in groups of three or five, carrying their audio equipment and boarding the bus to the city.
The vegetation coverage rate of H City is very high. In summer, wherever you look, you can see lush greenery.
Ye Ying sat in the back seat, holding his chin, looking at the scenery outside through the car window. He felt a little confused. He originally planned to earn tuition fees and leave after participating in the program, but now the direction of development has obviously exceeded his expectations.
He has always been a person who is good at making plans and strictly implementing them. In his original plan, he wanted to get good enough scores in the college entrance examination, go to a good enough university, and find a job after graduation that would allow him to no longer have to worry about money and livelihood. This was the path he was prepared to take steadily.
But now, the road has gone astray, he doesn't know where he will go, nor does he know whether there is any point in continuing along this road.
Before I knew it, the bus had already entered the busiest central area of H City. After the bus stopped at the Trade Plaza, the students filed out and headed for their respective destinations.
Ye Ying sighed with a headache. He was thinking about going to the nearby commercial building to see if there were any performance opportunities when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
He turned around and saw Li Jingfei carrying a black equipment bag.
"If you haven't decided where to go, come with me." The boy said calmly.
"Go to Fanxing East Road." After getting in the taxi, Li Jingfei said to the driver.
The driver responded and skillfully drove into the traffic. Ye Ying thought that Li Jingfei was going to the performance place, but the taxi drove further and further away and ended up at a place even farther than the Dream Camp base.
Ye Ying couldn't help but ask: "Where are we going?"
Li Jingfei: "Go sell you."
Ye Ying: “…”
