The scene was the most exciting and chaotic since the start of the show. The students were shouting and dancing. Even Pan Li did not expect that the third public song selection would have such a dramatic scene. He thought that the effect of the show was really amazing. People who didn't know might think that they had arranged it on purpose!
Although the powerful combination is also a great highlight, five people gave up the most important C position in the last performance. No one would dare to believe it if they told others about it!
Pan Li couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this song "Young Hero's Journey" really has some great charm that they haven't noticed! ?
Although they were shocked, the show was still being recorded and they had to quickly control the situation. Pan Li cleared his throat and raised his voice: "Although no one expected this scene, this is a great opportunity for many people, right?"
As he spoke, he deliberately showed the five empty song title signs: "But there are still five center positions!"
Luo Zihui was stunned for a moment, then realized belatedly: "Huh?? So I can be the C too!?"
Qi Rui looked at him and slapped his thigh excitedly: "Fuck!"
Yes, looking at it this way, many people who originally had no hope got a C position for nothing! !
"Think about it from another perspective. This is actually very beneficial to us!" said a student from Class B. "The people in front of us have too strong auras. We are actually at a disadvantage if we are in the same group with them for the performance. But if they are in the same group, the possibility of other groups being seen becomes greater!"
"I think so too!"
"Also, having too many strong people in a team is not necessarily a good thing. Their personalities are too distinct, and they may not be able to get along well with each other."
"Yes, the bigger the boss, the more arrogant they are. No one will submit to anyone else. If they get together, it might backfire!"
"And 'Young Hero's Journey' is full, so I don't have to worry about getting this song selected!"
The students were discussing intensely, and suddenly they felt like they were doing it again!
We can't boost others' morale and destroy our own prestige. It's still early for the performance and it's still unknown who will win. We are all real men, so why would we just give in? ?
The atmosphere became lively again, and many students looked at the large number of empty seats, their eyes flashing with excitement as they were eager to try.
Pan Li smiled. This youthful energy is good!
The grand third public song selection finally came to an end. The eliminated students returned to the dormitory to pack their suitcases. After bidding farewell to their roommates and friends, they took a bus in the evening to leave the training base where they had lived for nearly a month.
There were only 35 students left out of the 99 students at the beginning. Many seats in the dormitories that were originally full were vacated, and some dormitories were even completely empty. Most boys like to be in a lively environment, and it is too lonely to live alone, so they started to move to other dormitories with their suitcases.
Qiu Shuang walked into 211 carrying a large box in one hand: "Hello! Did you save a seat for me?"
"No," Xu Qiongzhi blocked the door and pretended not to let anyone in, "It's full, get out now."
Qiu Shuang took out a bag of spicy strips and shook them in front of him.
"How can I put it," Xu Qiongzhi took the spicy strips and stuffed them into her arms, "I'm reluctantly letting you sleep on the upper bunk."
After a while, Ming Yuechen came out of the door and looked around the dormitory carefully. He seemed to be satisfied with the cleanliness of the dormitory, so he moved the box at the door in.
He Xizhou mocked him: "Are you here for a leader's inspection?"
"The inspection is not for you." The boy with gold-rimmed glasses politely retorted, turning to ask Ye Ying, "Is there anyone in the shop opposite you?"
He Xizhou exploded: "How come your eyesight is so poor even with glasses on?? Can't you see that this is my territory?"
Fuck, this guy wouldn't really have any evil intentions towards Ye Ying, right?
Ye Ying: "Brother Ming, only Brother He's lower bunk has room. The previous roommate was also very clean. Why don't you stay there?"
Ming Yuechen sighed, raised his eyes to look at He Xizhou, his disdain obvious in his eyes.
He Xizhou: "Do you want to fight?"
Ming Yuechen: "I never bully elementary school students."
The other people in the room laughed. These two people have completely different personalities but can still tolerate each other for so many years. This is another interpretation of friendship.
Ye Ying also smiled and wanted to ask Ming Yuechen if he needed her help to pack his luggage. He Xizhou didn't want to see the two of them have too much contact, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Have you forgotten the bet we made?"
"That one." Ye Yingdang had not forgotten, but she did not expect that He Xizhou also liked that kind of soft little toy, which was quite surprising.
He climbed onto the upper bunk and held up a blue and pink starfish: "Which one do you want?"
He Xizhou said without hesitation: "Blue."
Ye Ying threw the blue little starfish to him. He Xizhou caught it and held it in his arms, saying, "I'll hold it and sleep for a few days."
Although this little doll is not valuable, it is quite meaningful to Ye Ying, so he did not directly say that he would give the starfish to He Xizhou. He also felt that he was being stingy, so he said, "I'll let you have it. Return it to me when you've had enough fun."
Xu Qiongzhi looked a little envious, but was too embarrassed to ask Ye Ying for one, so she secretly decided to buy the same one after leaving the camp.
It was already past eight o'clock when Qiu Shuang and Ming Yuechen packed up their things and made their beds. Qiu Shuang scattered a bunch of snacks on the table: "Come on, come on, I've been hiding them for a long time, let's share them tonight!"
Xu Qiongzhi came over and her eyes lit up as she took one look: "Wow! They're all spicy! I like them!"
Li Jingfei said: "I can't eat spicy food very well."
Ming Yuechen couldn't eat it either, but Qiu Shuang strongly recommended it: "Try it, it's very fragrant, and it's just normal spicy, I'm sure you can eat it."
Their new roommate was so enthusiastic that they didn’t want to refuse, so they opened a bag of duck necks and took a bite.
A few seconds later, Li Jingfei and Ming Yuechen stood up at the same time and drank a large glass of water, with sweat even coming out on their foreheads.
Qiu Shuang was shocked: "Are you guys really that bad at eating spicy food?"
"Brother Shuang, your 'normal spicy' taste would be 'abnormal spicy' to ordinary people, right?" Ye Ying said. Seeing that Li Jingfei and Ming Yuechen's faces were red from the spiciness, she quickly went to get a bag of yogurt and handed it to them, "This will relieve the spiciness."
Qiu Shuang felt a little sorry: "I'll remember that. When you come to my house for hotpot later, let's order the Yuanyang dish."
Xu Qiongzhi was crunching the duck neck while leaning forward to ask, "Will you give me a friendly price?"
Qiu Shuang patted his chest and said proudly, "It's my treat!"
Xu Qiongzhi cheered and immediately planned to go to Qiushuang Restaurant to eat hot pot after leaving the camp: "Speaking of which, what are you going to do after the show? If it were me, I would definitely go for a big meal. The nutritious meals at the base have made me thinner!"
Qiu Shuang: "I'll go home and see my parents. They must miss me."
Li Jingfei: "I'm going home too."
Ming Yuechen: "Go check if the stocks I bought have fallen."
Xu Qiongzhi gave him a look that said "you're worthy of me".
He Xizhou: "I'll take Ye Ying home."
The air was silent for a moment, and everyone turned to look at him.
Xu Qiongzhi didn't even bother to chew the duck neck, and asked with wide eyes: "Why did you bring Yingying home???"
"He promised me before." He Xizhou looked proud and reached out to hook the boy sitting next to him, "Didn't he?"
This was indeed what he promised, so Ye Ying nodded obediently: "Yes."
"You must have used some treacherous scheme to trick Yingying!" Xu Qiongzhi said viciously, and then turned to Ye Ying, "Yingying, don't just listen to what he says. Where do you want to go after you leave the camp?"
Ye Ying thought for a moment and said, "I think I should go home."
During the previous phone call, Ye Yi told him that both his father and he had returned to China, and that he should go back for emotional reasons.
"What about after you get home?"
"I haven't decided yet." Ye Ying said, "If I don't make my debut, I'll just go to college."
Several people laughed, and Qiu Shuang joked, "Then you can't go for the time being."
"Speaking of which, I originally wanted to take a graduation trip during the summer after the college entrance examination," said Xu Qiongzhi. "Although I am very happy to be on this program, many of my classmates have traveled far and wide. I am so envious!"
Qiu Shuang was very excited: "We can also make an appointment to go out and play later! We have giant pandas there, we can go see them together after eating hot pot!"
"A new holiday park has opened in City B," Ming Yuechen said, "I heard it's pretty good."
"By the way, Brother Fei is a local, right?" Xu Qiongzhi asked, "Is there anything fun in H City?"
"You can see the sea." Li Jingfei said, "I went there once before, it was beautiful."
Everyone started talking about the places they had been to or had always wanted to go to. The more they talked, the more interested they became. After all, they were bored after being trapped in the camp for so long, and they all wanted to go out and have some fun. Finally, Qiu Shuang slapped the table and said, "That's settled! Let's find a chance later and go out and play together!"
The chat lasted until after eleven o'clock in the evening. Because they had to start training tomorrow, everyone said good night and went to bed. After the lights were turned off, the dormitory was very quiet, with only the sound of shallow breathing. He Xizhou lay on the upper bunk, holding the little blue starfish in his arms, and felt as if he could smell the scent of Ye Ying.
He quietly lowered his head, buried the tip of his nose in the starfish, and took a deep breath.
It was not a fragrance, but a light and pleasant smell that was hard to describe. It made people feel comfortable, but also a little itchy in their hearts.
I wanted to hug the pillow out of selfishness, but I couldn't hug anyone because of the smell, and it was so damn unbearable!
He Xizhou turned over to look at the figure on the bed opposite him. His vision was not very clear in the darkness. He could only see the boy on the bed opposite him lying on his side facing him, covered with a blanket, breathing evenly, and sleeping very well.
He Xizhou just stared with his eyes open for a while, rubbed the starfish pillow with his fingers fiercely, and finally closed his eyes in frustration, suddenly turned over to the wall, buried his face in the pillow and fell asleep.
＿＿
Maybe it was because his amount of exercise had doubled after he took part in the program, but Ye Ying's sleep quality had improved a lot in recent times. He would hardly wake up in the middle of the night after falling asleep. So the next morning when the radio started playing "Summer Journey" without any warning, he opened his eyes in a daze, and it took him a full half minute to come back from his deep sleep.
"What? Are they dancing to the theme song?" The melody engraved in his DNA made Xu Qiongzhi sit up in bed. On the bunk above him, Qiu Shuang also opened his eyelids with difficulty and looked at the time with a sleepy face: "Oh my God, it's not even five o'clock! Is the production team planning to let us go to the practice room at this time?"
Playing dynamic music early in the morning made all the students dream back to the day when they learned the theme song!
But this time the music stopped after a while, and then the director's energetic voice came on the radio: "Are you all awake? If you are, get up immediately. I will give you half an hour to pack up. We are going to the beach for a day of team building activities!"
Xu Qiongzhi’s eyelids, which were so sleepy that they were about to fight, suddenly opened!
"The beach?!" he shouted, "Did I hear it right? Didn't the broadcast just say we were going to the beach for team building!?"
"You heard it right!" Qiu Shuang also perked up, "Li Jingfei, you're awesome. You just talked about watching the sea yesterday, and today we went to the beach for team building!!"
Li Jingfei had already gotten up and folded the quilt: "If it's sunny, bring a change of clothes and slippers."
Seeing that Ye Ying was still motionless, he patted the pillow on the upper bunk gently: "Are you awake?"
Ye Ying finally came back to her senses, responded, and got up rubbing her eyes.
The most difficult student to wake up was a student named He, who was sleeping soundly on his back with a pillow in his arms. Just as Ye Ying was about to call him, she saw Ming Yuechen had pulled out the pillow from his arms and pressed it on his face without any hesitation.
Ye Ying: “…”
I finally had the chance to witness the legendary violent wake-up call!
This guy is really useful. He Xizhou fluttered and sat up suddenly: "Ming Yuechen, you wait for me!!"
Ming Yuechen didn't care about him at all and went into the bathroom to wash up. Everyone had a small luggage bag and put a few shirts in it. Li Jingfei reminded: "The seaside may be a little cold in the morning and evening, remember to bring a coat."
Qiu Shuang gave a thumbs up: "Our brother Fei is still very careful!"
Ye Ying packed a few T-shirts because she thought she would be eliminated in the first round, so she didn't bring any thick clothes. Li Jingfei took a look at his luggage bag: "You didn't bring a coat?"
Ye Ying nodded: "When I came here, I didn't think I would need it, so I didn't take it."
Li Jingfei took a coat from the closet and handed it to him: "Put it on and wear it when you're cold."
When Qiu Shuang heard the noise, he immediately took out a blue sports jacket and handed it over: "I'm not wearing this either, Xiao Ye, take it!"
"Thank you." Ye Ying felt warm inside and folded all the coats and put them into her bag. When He Xizhou, who was about to go wash up, saw her, he immediately turned back and handed her a black sports coat, "Take this one too."
"That's enough, Brother He."
"Mine is different," He Xizhou said, "Mine is warm and comfortable to wear. If you don't believe me, try it."
The boy looked stubborn and serious, so Ye Ying took it with a smile, and then she realized that he had worn this jacket before.
Just last rainy night.
Ye Ying folded her coat and put it in her bag, thinking, it is indeed quite warm.
After packing up their things for the day, the trainees boarded the bus at the entrance of the training base. The production team said it was so late just to give everyone a surprise. No one expected to have the opportunity to go to the beach for the day. Everyone was so excited that they jumped up and down, like a group of primary school students on a spring outing.
35 students and program staff were riding on a bus. After Xu Qiongzhi put away her luggage, she was about to call Ye Ying to sit with her, but when she turned around, she saw He Xizhou let Ye Ying sit in the side seat by the window, and then he sat down next to him.
Xu Qiongzhi: “…”
I hate it!!
A bus set off in the dark.
"I was planning to start practicing for the third public performance today, why did the production team suddenly ask us to do team building?"
"Maybe it's to let everyone relax? Or maybe it's to record the next show?"
"No matter what, I'm happy as long as I have the chance to go out and play! Let's go swimming!"
"I want to eat seafood! Eat until I'm full!"
At first, everyone was excitedly discussing what to do at the beach, but because they got up too early and the drive was long, they gradually began to feel sleepy.
Ye Ying was a little dazed when she woke up in the morning, and now she was feeling sleepy. She curled up on the car seat, nodding her head, looking cute and pitiful. He Xizhou lowered his voice unconsciously: "It's still early to get there, lean on my shoulder and sleep for a while."
Ye Ying rubbed her eyes: "No need, it makes you uncomfortable."
"With your tiny weight, are you still worried about crushing me?" He Xizhou patted his right shoulder and ordered, "Hurry up."
Ye Ying smiled and stopped being polite with him. She shrank down and rested her head on He Xizhou's shoulder. She fell asleep in a short while.
He Xizhou quietly opened the luggage bag, took out his coat, and gently covered Ye Ying with it. The black coat made the boy's face look pale, and he was so well-behaved and quiet when he was sleeping, which made people's hearts melt.
This distance is finally closer than last night.
He Xizhou's inexplicably anxious mood was finally calmed down a little. It was still dark, the bus was gloomy, and the students had all fallen asleep, some even snoring softly.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the boy who was resting his head on his shoulder. He tilted his head slightly, held his breath, and gently kissed his hair.
Like dew touching a rose.
