The final room allocation result came out. Ye Ying and Li Jingfei lived in the deluxe room on the third floor, while He Xizhou, Ming Yuechen, Qiu Shuang and Xu Qiongzhi lived in two ordinary rooms on the upper floor.
Although it was an ordinary room, except for the lack of a bathtub and TV, all other furniture and items were available. The space was large and there was a private bathroom. The decoration was clean and comfortable. No one had any complaints. After saying goodbye to the staff who were shooting the vlog, they all carried their suitcases to their respective rooms.
"Which one do you want to sleep on?" There were two beds in the room, one on the inside and one on the outside. Li Jingfei turned around and asked Ye Ying.
In fact, there is not much difference. Ye Ying said, "I'll sleep closer to the inside."
Li Jingfei nodded, and the two began to pack their suitcases, each using half of the closet and cabinet, with a very tacit and harmonious arrangement. Li Jingfei hung up the clothes and took out a small gift box from the suitcase and handed it over: "Day gift."
Ye Ying was surprised for a moment, then smiled: "Just let me fuck you in the camp."
"I told you in the camp that I wanted to give you a gift." Li Jingfei said, "It's not something expensive. Open it and take a look."
Ye Ying thanked him and took it. She carefully unpacked it and found a retro wooden Bluetooth speaker inside. It was the size of a palm and had a unique and beautiful design. She couldn't help but be dazzled: "Brother Fei, you are really good at choosing things."
"As long as you like it." Li Jingfei smiled, folded the suitcase and put it at the bottom of the cabinet. When he stood up, he saw a person standing at the door. It was He Xizhou.
Ye Ying saw him and called out "Brother He".
He Xizhou's eyes were fixed on Ye Ying's wooden speaker for a moment, then he looked away and said, "I'm here to visit the luxury room."
"It's actually similar to your room." Ye Ying put down the small speaker and walked over, pointing to the window. "You have a bay window there. I like it very much."
He Xizhou: "Then go over and play if you have nothing to do."
Ye Ying smiled: "Okay."
He Xizhou walked around the room, sat on Ye Ying's bed to test its softness, and chatted with her for a while. Finally, he said reluctantly, "Then get ready for bed. I'm leaving."
He nodded to Li Jingfei. Ye Ying walked him to the door, waved, and watched him go down the stairs.
Li Jingfei was sweeping the bed. Seeing him come back, he said with a smile, "If you didn't know, you would think you were seeing each other off at the train station."
Ye Ying touched her nose: "Uh..."
"He wants to live in the same room with you," Li Jingfei said, "I want to switch jobs with him."
"No need." Ye Ying shook her head, walked to the unpacked suitcase, and whispered, "We are all in the same building, we can see each other every day."
He took the little pink starfish out of the box, patted it gently, and placed it on the head of his bed.

The “New Home Vlog” was widely shared as soon as it was released on Aurora’s official account. This rising star boy group has been debuting for less than a week and is at its peak of popularity. Fans have been looking forward to the official blog releasing material day and night, and when they see that there is finally an update, they rush over excitedly.
The vlog was only ten minutes long and the content was concise. First, the six people greeted their fans, and then talked about their feelings and changes in their mentality after their debut under the questions of the staff. Then, it was the captain selection and room allocation. Seeing that Ye Ying was voted in as the captain, Ye fans happily sent congratulations in the barrage, but there were some comments that spoiled the mood:
[Is there something behind this vote? It's obvious that He Heming is more suitable to be the captain. Ye Ying is too weak and can't even hold up the C position. Now she has to be the captain emmmm]
This comment was quickly attacked by many people:
[One week after the group was formed, someone actually criticized Ye for not being able to hold the center position. Do you think the 18888 viewers on the final night were blind?]
[He keeps talking about inside information, as if other people were forced to write Ye Ying's name when voting:d]
[What are you forcing? Haven’t you seen a few handsome guys praising Ye Ying to bits? Our little one is just someone who likes to be loved, hehehe]
[He Xizhou’s phrase “Captain” is so sweet and doting, I’m hooked again!!]
The captain was decided, and the next step was to assign rooms. Now the CP fans began to get excited, secretly expecting their CP to be assigned like crazy. Only the all-Ye party was not as good as Shan, and they would support Ye Ying no matter who she was in the same room with!
But when the staff announced that the rule for room allocation was dart throwing, the lotus leaf fans were completely shocked!
[Steady, this wave is definitely steady! !]
[The whole building can see me laughing arrogantly, but I can’t help it, hahahaha!]
[He Ge’s dart skills are beyond words, and Ying Ying is pretty strong, right? Hehe, there’s a 90% chance that they’ll be in the same room!]
Sure enough, Ye Ying threw both darts at the bull's eye area, and the barrage was filled with "666" and "handsome flying". Lotus Leaf fans were madly praising their baby's handsomeness, laughing from ear to ear, and quietly celebrating in advance in the [One Leaf Qingzhou] super topic:
[Now let’s wait for Brother He to win the beauty! ! ]
[So the horse is the bridal chamber stage!! Showing a perverted smile.jpg]
[Hurry up, brother! The kid is waiting for you!]
All Heye fans firmly believed that it was a foregone conclusion that He Xizhou and Ye Ying would be in the same room. So when the final result came out, they were all dumbfounded and could not understand why things turned out this way.
It’s like getting a very high score in the college entrance examination, but when you check the admission results, you find that you were not accepted!
After the vlog ended, fans of each group were not satisfied and rushed to the official blog to ask "Can you be thicker and longer?" The Chunshui Yingying family next door was already having a blast, and even the super topic avatar was changed to a big red wedding character. He Xizhou's toxic fans and Ye Ying's haters began to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fuss:
[Celebrate together, He Xizhou and Ye Ying are finally untied! ! ]
[Any fan of He knows how good he is at darts, so he deliberately missed the target just to avoid sharing a room with someone! This is too obvious of a disdain, he doesn't even give the other person any face (dog head)]
[Hahaha, can a certain CP fan stop talking about how much He loves Ye all day long in the super chat, and create a loyal dog and wolf dog character for He. Before, he was so sure that He would definitely choose a room with Ye. Doesn’t it hurt now?]
[I've long said that He Ye's good relationship in "Dream Maker" was all scripted. Sure enough, as soon as they formed a group, they began to draw a clear line and distance themselves. It feels good!]
[My Zhou Zhou finally starts to be the only one who is beautiful! Qiuqiu Ye, please stop being so shameless and come to me and take my brother away!]
In the [One Leaf and One Continent] super topic, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly depressed.
Clearly, they had just eaten such a big piece of candy when Aurora members were having a hotpot dinner a week ago, and they were almost convinced that these two were together, but a vlog of room assignment shattered their fantasy.
Even if they were CP-brains, they had to admit that He Xizhou did cast the ball off target on purpose.
Too obvious.
Just when many Heye fans were crying and doubting their CPBE, a big CP fan stood up:
[Why are there so many little fools in our super topic? They actually suspect that He and Ye are together. They are obviously super sweet! When they were in the camp, He was always sticking to Ye. They slept in the same tent during the team building at the beach. In the dormitory vlog, we can even see that He often climbed onto Ye's bed to play with him. Zhou went to C City and specifically went to S City to pick him up. They wanted to stick together 24 hours a day. So why did He give up such a great opportunity to share a room? ]
Many lotus leaf fans stopped crying and thought slowly, yes, why?
[He really didn't stay in the same room with Yingying on purpose, because he was afraid that he couldn't help himself! Just imagine, living in a room alone with the person he loves every day, seeing him taking off his clothes in front of him at night, hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, seeing him swaying in front of him with his body steaming and water droplets, even after turning off the lights, hearing his breathing in the dark, and even the air is filled with his scent! How can you expect He to endure this? Not to mention two years, I'm afraid he would be sick in two months!!]
Lotus leaf powder: !!!
[Although He acts recklessly and arrogantly, he reserves all his care and treasures for Yingying. Love can be unbridled, but it should be restrained. Sisters, raise your heads, we got it!]
Lotus Leaf fans turned their sadness into joy, and lined up to reply to this Weibo post:
[Master, I understand! ! ]
＿＿
On the day after recording the room division vlog, the six members of Aurora began preparations for their first album.
Because they are a limited group and will only be together for two years, time is even more precious and all work has to be put on the schedule immediately.
Uncle Mai gathered six people in the company for a meeting and showed them a schedule.
"You will officially debut on October 4th, and today is October 9th. From now until December 8th, you have two months to complete the production of your first album, and make your stage debut at the annual Starlight Gala on Northern TV on December 12th."
"Time was tight, so we compressed the songs for our first album into six." Uncle Mai said, "As for the general situation in the circle now, popular songs or group songs usually hire professional teams, and leave the production from lyrics and music arrangement to post-production to them. For example, the inf boy group of Xingyue Entertainment debuted for three years and released three albums, but they did not participate in the creation of any song themselves."
"The benefits of doing this are obvious. It's efficient and saves energy, leaving you more time to practice on stage, and the quality of the album won't be bad." Uncle Mai said, "There is one option, which is for you to write your own songs and create an album that belongs to you."
Several young men looked sad.
"This will greatly increase the difficulty and time, and you will have to work harder." Uncle Mai asked, "What do you think?"
The six of them exchanged glances, then smiled knowingly and said in unison: "We'll write it ourselves."
Uncle Mai raised his eyebrows: "Have you thought of it so quickly?"
Ye Ying nodded: "In fact, when we participated in the Dream Maker Project, we participated in writing songs ourselves."
For San Gong's song "Young Hero Travel", they suddenly decided to add a sword dance, and the dance didn't quite match the lyrics of the original version, so they spent two days changing the lyrics themselves.
Although it was very hard and time-consuming to rewrite the lyrics and learn sword dance, the feeling of creating a work by oneself is different. Even if it has flaws and is far from perfect, it is filled with their hard work and feelings, and the meaning is completely different.
"Idols are supposed to convey their thoughts and beliefs through their works, as a medium to communicate with fans," He Xizhou said. "If the whole process is taken care of by others and we just act as a voice synthesizer, what's the point?"
Uncle Mai finally showed a smile of approval.
In the age of traffic, impetuousness is a common problem among young artists. If there is a more convenient and superior way, everyone wants to spend the least effort to gain the highest popularity, and even fantasize about becoming famous overnight.
Being able to calm down and focus on doing one thing in a noisy environment, regardless of the outcome, is an extremely valuable quality in itself.
"Then leave it to you to do it." Uncle Mai said, "Of course, independent creation does not mean being isolated and helpless. The professional team and teachers are behind you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. Don't be embarrassed to ask just because the questions are simple, and don't be afraid of making mistakes."
"good!"
"Young man, work hard." Uncle Mai took a sip of the tea from the thermos cup beside him and said leisurely, "Your uncle has never made a mistake in this business. You guys have the potential to be explosive."
＿＿
Fenghua Entertainment is a very conscientious company in the industry and will not over-consume the value of artists. When Aurora first debuted, she was at her peak of popularity and had countless product endorsements, but the company did not let these young people run around for meaningless announcements and live broadcasts for a few bucks, but instead let them concentrate on creating albums.
According to Shi Fenghua, these small profits are nothing to behold. Once Aurora becomes popular, national or even top-level endorsements will naturally come knocking on the door.
Such vision and pattern are probably the reasons why he was able to make Fenghua Entertainment the dominant company.
The six members of Aurora travel back and forth between the company's practice room and Chunshan Xinbi every day. Except for eating and sleeping, they spend the rest of their time practicing dancing and writing songs.
The name and title song of the first album have been decided, which is "Aurora". Although many pop groups tend to use explosive music to create a cool impression, after discussing, the six members unanimously hoped that the first song they created would not only be superficial, but also be able to be deeply rooted in the hearts of fans.
"It's too slow for six people to write one song at the same time, and there are too many people to agree on a single opinion." Ye Ying said, "Let's divide into two groups, each group is responsible for writing two songs, and then give each other feedback on the results and make revisions, how do you think?"
Xu Qiongzhi slapped her thigh and said, "Captain, this is a good idea!"
Qiu Shuang clapped his hands vigorously: "Captain, this is a good idea!"
Li Jingfei nodded: "Captain, this is a good idea."
Ming Yuechen replied: "Captain, this is a good idea."
He Xizhou: "Hello, Captain."
Ye Ying's ears turned red from their teasing. She tried to act dignified and said, "Just talk properly!"
"We are talking properly," He Xizhou smiled as he twirled his pen, "Very nice, the captain is worthy of being the captain."
Ye Ying glared at him, He Xizhou raised his hand and covered his mouth to cough, but there was a smile in his eyes.
Ming Yuechen: "First, determine the general categories of the songs. The style cannot be single. For example, "Aurora" is a lyrical song. You can add two more songs, some that are explosive or magical."
He Xizhou nodded: "It doesn't have to be something grand. A simple and memorable melody will be more popular."
The people were divided into groups. Ye Ying and Ming Yuechen wrote lyrics including the title song, Li Jingfei and Xu Qiongzhi wrote songs, and He Xizhou and Qiu Shuang wrote exciting songs.
What remains is intense brainstorming and boring and hard training.
It does not mean that their abilities will meet the standards after debuting. On the contrary, to become a qualified or excellent idol, they must never relax their professional skills. The company has a dedicated teacher to make a detailed training schedule for them, with two vocal lessons and two dance lessons every day, in addition to body shape lessons, physical fitness lessons, and even verbal expression and simulated interview lessons every week.
Everyone looked at the packed schedule and fell into despair.
Qiu Shuang felt a little toothache: "How should I put it? It's like I suddenly dreamed of returning to the devilish senior year of high school."
Li Jingfei hesitated: "Speech expression class?"
Uncle Mai was chewing gum to quit smoking nearby. He glanced at him and said, "Yes, you are the key training target."
Li Jingfei: “…”
Xu Qiongzhi stared at the schedule: "What is that mock interview? For the interview, it should be mainly the captain Yan. I remember Yingying was very good at dealing with those reporters during the group press conference. There will be no problem leaving it to him!"
Uncle Mai gave him a look and took out his camera to show them a video.
The video is an interview of the INF boy band on the red carpet last year. The reporter specifically asked member Zhong Junyu a question. He seemed to be distracted and hummed and ahed several times before he realized the question after being prompted by his teammates. Then his brain seemed to lose the ability to organize language. After another round of extremely awkward humming and ahing, he finally uttered: "Can this interview be edited out?"
The result is obvious. This segment was not cut and will be edited into the “Collection of Embarrassing Scenes of Celebrities” until today.
Xu Qiongzhi's face turned pale: "I have dug out three bedrooms and two living rooms with my toes."
Uncle Mai threatened: "So if you don't study hard, you will be the next one."
Xu Qiongzhi shuddered suddenly, stood up immediately and said loudly: "I will be fine!!"
Training during the day and writing at night, the schedule of the teenagers is more intense than in the dream camp. But these are songs written for themselves, so although the process is tiring and painful, it is mostly happy overall. Sometimes inspiration bursts and can't even stop. One night, six people gathered in the living room on the first floor and wrote until two in the morning, and finally fell asleep on the carpet. Ye Ying woke up once in the middle, and couldn't help laughing at the way everyone was sleeping soundly. She didn't have the heart to wake them up, so she went upstairs to the bedroom to get pillows and thin blankets to cover everyone one by one, and then she lay on the carpet and fell asleep again.
The feeling of working together for dreams and goals is so good that I even have a smile on my face even in my sleep.
After nearly a month of intense training, study and creation, the group was full of energy, but they were obviously thinner. Even Uncle Mai felt sorry for these kids who worked so hard that he asked the company's nutritionist to increase their nutrition. He also gave them a day off when Xu Qiongzhi was having a holiday, so that they could have a good rest.
Chunshan Xinbi's home was decorated with ribbons and balloons. Six boys gathered together to sing birthday songs, eat cakes and give gifts. Xu Qiongzhi, as the birthday girl, was particularly excited: "To celebrate my adulthood, let's have a drink!!"
"Please don't," Ming Yuechen turned his head immediately after hearing this, "I don't want to say "I Love My Motherland" anymore."
Xu Qiongzhi: “???”
Li Jingfei reminded: "Drinking affects your height, you three."
Xu Qiongzhi couldn't believe it: "Brother Fei, are you taking language expression classes just to confront me?"
Everyone laughed, because they had to continue working the next day, so they didn't drink alcohol, but drank Sprite and juice. But the last few people had a great time, singing KTV in their living room with a microphone, the sound was deafening, fortunately the small villa had good sound insulation, otherwise the neighbors would think these young people were crazy.
After playing until five in the afternoon, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. Li Jingfei took advantage of his day off to go back to H City to visit his younger brothers and sisters, and would not be back tonight.
Ye Ying returned to the bedroom. He was not feeling sleepy at all. He was thinking about polishing the first song when there was a knock on the door.
It’s He Xizhou.
"Not sleeping?"
"I'm not sleepy now if I sleep late." Ye Ying asked him to come, "What's the matter?"
He Xizhou was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"
Ye Ying was stunned.
He suddenly realized that in the past month, he and He Xizhou seemed to have spent much less time together.
We work and live together every day, but if you think about it carefully, there is almost no opportunity for one-on-one communication during the daytime classes and training except for short breaks. It is even more stressful at night. Even because we were not in the same group for songwriting, He Xizhou and Qiu Shuang talked much more than he did to me.
It seems like a long, long time ago that we were as close as we were in the Dream Camp.
Ye Ying pursed her lips: "I... didn't mean that."
"I'm just kidding you." He Xizhou smiled, reached out to touch his head, took out a gift box from behind and gave it to him.
Ye Ying blinked: "Brother He, today is Zhizhi's day."
"I know. Didn't I give him the latest game console?" He Xizhou pulled his box over and stuffed it into his hands. "This is for you."
Ye Ying was a little confused: "You have all given me birthday presents before."
Everyone remembered the discussion in the camp about giving Ye Ying gifts. Li Jingfei gave her a retro audio system, Ming Yuechen gave her a "lucky" necklace, Qiu Shuang gave her cool headphones, Xu Qiongzhi gave her a starry sky projection bedside lamp, and He Xizhou gave her a men's watch with an astonishing price. Ye Ying didn't dare to accept it at first.
"Master Ye is not short of money, why don't you give me a similar one in the future?"
After being teased by He Xizhou and forced to give her a gift, Ye Ying accepted the watch. She has not been willing to wear it until now.
"Can't I give you another gift for New Year's Eve?" He Xizhou laughed and said, "It's not expensive this time, open it and take a look."
Ye Ying opened the gift box, and inside it lay a light blue knitted scarf.
"It's getting colder lately. Wear a scarf when you go out to keep your neck warm." He Xizhou asked, "Do you like the style?"
"I like it." Ye Ying looked up at him, "Thank you, Brother He. I'll give you one someday."
He Xizhou smiled, with a kind of inner joy: "Then I'll wait."
Uncle Mai called him just now and told him that he had something to ask him to go to the company. He Xizhou finally found a chance but didn't get to talk to him for a few more words. He felt frustrated and angry but couldn't do anything about it: "I'll go to the company first. Let's take advantage of today's rest and go to bed early. I'll work again tomorrow."
Ye Ying was a little surprised: "Going to the company at this time?"
"I have an endorsement deal that I had negotiated in the camp before. The brand has a good relationship with Mr. Shi, so I have to give him this honor." He Xizhou said, "There will be a live broadcast in the evening, starting at 7 o'clock, and it will last for about two hours."
Ye Ying said "Oh" and looked at the time: "Then go quickly, you need to prepare in advance."
He Xizhou nodded, touched his head again, reminded him to "go to bed early", and left.
Ye Ying returned to the bedroom and sat on the bed, taking the scarf out of the box. Although someone said it was not worth much, she knew it was made of good material and fine craftsmanship as soon as she touched it. A white heart-shaped shell was decorated on the corner of one end of the scarf.
Ye Ying touched the shell and suddenly realized something. She brought the scarf under her eyes and took a closer look. The edge of the shell had a faint white circle on the scarf fabric, which seemed to be excess glue.
His eyes were dazed for a moment. He sat for a while holding the scarf, then he stretched out his hand to touch the shell carefully, and then wrapped the scarf around his neck.
It’s really comfortable.
Ye Ying closed her eyes, pulled the scarf with her fingers, buried the lower half of her face in the soft fabric, and gently sniffed the warm breath.
