Somehow the news got out, and in less than a day, all the students in the camp knew that Ye Ying was actually the Grand Duke of the Ye Group.
Luo Hui's eyes changed when he looked at him, and he sighed tremblingly: "Is it possible that you participated in the program just to chat and experience life?"
Qi Rui deliberately acted like a bootlicker: "Master, are you in need of a bag-carrying boy? What do you think of me?"
The other students also looked at him with complicated eyes, mixed with envy and surprise, as if they were wondering why there could be such a lucky person who not only had a wealthy family, but also became an instant hit after participating in the talent show, as if God had bestowed all the halos of luck on him.
But only the parties involved knew the inside story, and Ye Ying couldn't explain anything to others, so she just smiled at all the exaggerated remarks.
The only thing that made him feel comfortable was that the attitudes of several friends around him did not change much after they learned his "real identity". He Xizhou was not mentioned. Li Jingfei and Ming Yuechen were only slightly surprised and then calmly accepted it. Qiu Shuang joked, "I thought that although I am not famous, I am at least a rich second-born. Well, now even this advantage is gone!"
The most shocked person was Xu Qiongzhi. The curly-haired girl was stunned for a long time with her mouth open. Then she asked stupidly, "So do you drive a Rolls-Royce Phantom when you go out, drink 1982 Lafite when you have meals, fill the bathtub with red wine when you take a bath, and take off your school uniform and put on a suit after school to attend n very important economic meetings?"
"Not only that." Ye Ying told him, "I am also good at both black and white, and I control several mysterious *** sects."
Qiu Shuang laughed loudly beside him, and even Li Jingfei couldn't help laughing. Xu Qiongzhi realized that she had asked a stupid question, and said with a red face, "It turns out that the domineering president novels are all lies!"
Ye Ying smiled and rubbed his head, her mood brightened by this funny guy.
He Xizhou felt a little relieved when he saw him smile. The only rumor in the camp was that Ye Ying was Ye Mingyuan's daughter, and no other information was mentioned, but he heard Ye Ying say in the director's studio that her parents had divorced a long time ago, which must have been one of the reasons for his character.
Come to think of it, if he had a happy family and parents who cared for him enough, how could he have suffered from school bullying for a year without anyone knowing about it?
His heart felt stuffy and painful, but Ye Ying didn't say anything, and He Xizhou didn't intend to ask.
If one day Ye Ying is willing to open her heart and tell him, he will listen. If Fang Xiang keeps it in his heart, he will accompany him to slowly forget those scars, and then cover those old scars with new memories together.
The future is long and he can wait.
＿＿
After letting everyone rest for two days, the production team called all the trainees together again. This time, they were going to announce the second batch of eliminated trainees and the third ranking, as well as the selection of songs for the third performance. Each task was very important, and all the trainees were very excited, waiting for the announcement of the results with trepidation and excitement.
One good thing about "Dream Plan" is that it doesn't deliberately prolong the process for too long in order to create suspense, especially the announcement of the elimination list. Every minute of delay increases the psychological and mental torture of the trainees. This time, Pan Li did not play tricks and directly announced the second batch of eliminated trainees:
"There are 30 students eliminated this time, namely the students ranked in the bottom 30 in the third ranking." Pan Li said, reading out the names of the students one by one.
Such a straightforward announcement made the students feel a lot more relieved. Although they were a little disappointed and sad, everyone had worked hard in the practice room and tried their best to show themselves on the stage. But being eliminated in the end meant that their strength was still not as good as others, so they had no regrets or complaints.
Go back and continue to polish and practice, waiting for the next opportunity. After all, there are limited possibilities in the journey of youth. Who knows if they will be the winner next time?
In the 211 dormitory, Zhao Sinuo and Fu Yulin were also on the elimination list. They had lived together for nearly two months, and they got along well with each other. They ate together, talked at night, shared snacks and played with each other. Now they were facing separation, and everyone felt bad. Xu Qiongzhi hugged them, her eyes were red, but Zhao and Fu were prepared in their hearts, and they did not look sad. They smiled and sent encouragement and blessings to their friends who stayed.
Ye Ying was not good at comforting people, so she could only hug him. Zhao Sinuo also hugged him tightly, and then whispered in his ear: "Don't tell Brother He, I actually think more of you. You should strive to be the center in the back and squeeze Brother He out!"
"I will try my best." Ye Ying smiled and looked at him seriously, "You should also try your best."
Fang smiled and gestured as if it was natural.
After this elimination, only 35 of the 99 students were left. After the eliminated students retreated to the gray area, the venue suddenly became empty. The remaining students were both relieved and excited, but at the same time they were under a greater pressure - only six students would make it to the final, which meant that only 10 students had this opportunity. If the remaining students wanted to make a comeback, they could only rely on the third performance, which was the last performance of the finals.
The two pieces of information that Pan Li is going to announce next are both very, very important.
No one discussed, the venue was surprisingly quiet, an unprecedented tension filled the air, this war without the smoke of gunpowder had reached a fierce moment, everyone could smell the smell of gunpowder.
"It seems that everyone is very concerned about the ranking results." Pan Li smiled, "No more selling out. Next, I will announce the students ranked 11-35. Students whose names are read, please go to your seats."
It was still the familiar triangular area with numbers on it, but it was much smaller than the one at the beginning. Pan Li announced the rankings in reverse order, and the students whose names were called out at the beginning were not in a good mood, because it meant that the possibility of them being eliminated was very small.
The later the name was called, the higher the third ranking would be, and the happier the students' faces were. When the first name was called, an unexpected name appeared:
"Lin He."
There were gasps of surprise one after another, as everyone knew that Lin He was always very popular and always stayed firmly in the leading position. But this time, he actually fell out as if he had taken a descending elevator, which shocked everyone.
Without cell phone communication methods, most of the trainees in the camp were unaware of the ups and downs in the outside world during this period, and therefore did not understand the stupid operations carried out by Huangtian Entertainment. They just thought that Lin He was unworthy of his position, which disappointed more and more viewers, leading to a decline in the rankings.
"Although it's a bit unexpected, it's also reasonable." Someone whispered, "If Lin He's level is going to improve, then there must be something fishy going on."
"Yeah. Since we want to create a top boy band, the members we select must have positive abilities, otherwise what's the point?"
This time, Lin He couldn't even laugh. He lowered his head and looked at no one. He walked to position number one without saying a word.
"The highlight is coming," someone said excitedly, "Name!"
"No. 1, 3,498,844 votes, Wanan."
"Ninth place, 3,887,461 votes, Wang Yiming."
These two students were both on the list for the first time, their joy was beyond words, and they walked to their seats happily. The eighth and seventh place were Qi Rui and Luo Hui, who each advanced one place. Both of them received more than five million votes. They walked to their seats with their arms around each other's shoulders, and blew kisses to everyone like a star, making everyone laugh.
"Sixth place, 7,859,485 votes, Xu Qiongzhi."
Xu Qiongzhi shouted happily, jumped up and hugged Ye Ying beside him. Ye Ying also smiled and hugged him tightly, saying, "Congratulations!"
His outstanding performance in the second public performance greatly increased his popularity in the third round of voting. There is nothing more inspiring than achieving one's goals through hard work!
The fifth place is still Qiu Shuang, but this time he got eight million votes, which is five million higher than the last time. His popularity has been increasing rapidly. The fourth place is Li Jingfei, whose votes exceeded the ten million mark, which caused the students on the scene to exclaim in amazement.
The voting mechanism of "Dream Maker" prevents fans from cheating and every vote is valid. As a result, the vote gap between students is completely widened. The higher the position of the student, the more terrifying the support number they get.
Ming Yuechen's popularity has been stable, and this time he took the second public performance to a higher level, regaining the third place with 12,663,467 votes. The remaining suspense of the first and second place lies between Ye Yinghe and Xizhou.
"Brother He is very confident," Luo Hui said in a low voice, "Although I always call him the King of 'Beat', I don't think there can be anyone more awesome than him here...but now I'm suddenly a little unsure."
"It's because of a purple star." Qi Rui said with a smile, "I heard that the stage of "Sexy Eyes" is very popular, plus Ye Ying's identity has become popular...tsk tsk tsk tsk, the result is still uncertain."
"I'll bet on Yingying." Xu Qiongzhi was already excited, and said maliciously, "I want to see the guy named He get slapped in the face!"
Pan Li also left some suspense and deliberately asked He Xizhou: "I remember when the final rankings were announced last time, you said you had nothing to be nervous about because 'it's still number one anyway', so what about this time? Are you nervous this time?"
He Xizhou smiled slightly: "What's there to be nervous about?"
"Brother He, you've started it again!" The students below began to make noises, "Ye Ying wants to save face and put him down. Let's see if he dares to be so arrogant again!!"
Pan Li: "To be sure that you are still number one?"
To everyone's surprise, He Xizhou denied it: "No."
This arrogant man who was always so arrogant actually admitted defeat one day. Everyone thought there was something wrong with his ears. Pan Li also smiled in surprise: "Why, our arrogant king actually lost the confidence he was so proud of?"
Even the host knew this joke, and everyone couldn't help laughing again. He Xizhou seemed to be at ease. He turned his head and looked at the boy beside him and said leisurely: "I always have confidence in myself, but he has confidence too."
Pan Li: "Oh? You think so highly of Ye Ying?"
He Xizhou only said three words: "He deserves it."
Something seemed to touch Ye Ying's heart, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes. He Xizhou's eyes were clear and frank, and he looked at him quietly with a gentle smile.
In competition programs like this, the competition between the champion and the runner-up is always very fierce, and it is normal to be on the verge of a fight, and there are even many cases where they are incompatible and irreconcilable. Especially in a boy group talent show, the first place means the final center position of the boy group. Although there is only one place difference in the ranking, the treatment is completely different.
There is only one dazzling position, and those who have reached this point are not lacking in ambition. How can they be indifferent to this position? Moreover, He Xizhou, who is a naturally aggressive type A personality, cannot tolerate himself being inferior to others.
This has always been his style in the past, and no one expected that he would say such a thing today.
"My brother He has changed his personality," Luo Hui said in disbelief, "He is no longer that brother He..."
Although the "fighting to the death" enemy relationship is very interesting, the current relationship of being both enemies and friends is also unexpectedly eye-catching. Everyone is used to seeing someone's arrogant and self-centered appearance, and suddenly seeing his new side, they can't help but marvel at it.
"Even Brother He can be conquered, Ye Ying is awesome!" A student hissed, "Based on this alone, I will accept him as the center!"
"I'm getting excited, everyone," someone rubbed his hands and said, "I want to see Ye Ying beat He Ge!!"
Now here comes the key, can Ye Ying surpass He Xizhou and take the first place this time?
He Xizhou nudged the boy next to him with his shoulder: "Want to make a bet?"
Ye Ying whispered: "How to bet?"
"If you can take first place, it must be my contribution, right?" Seeing Ye Ying nodded, He Xizhou raised the corner of his lips, "Then shouldn't you give me something in return?"
Ye Ying: "What do you want in return?"
They were whispering in low voices, and since they were so close to each other, He Xizhou could clearly see the boy's beautiful eyes and the heart-warming smile in them.
He Xizhou felt that he was bewitched.
"Give me a hug." He blurted out.
Seeing the slight surprise in the boy's eyes, He Xizhou suddenly reacted. He understood what he was thinking, but Ye Ying knew nothing. What if he showed it too obviously and scared the boy away?
"I mean... well," He Xizhou's agile tongue got tied up in a knot, "let me hold the little starfish on your bed for a while."
