Chapter 17
But the next second, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed her arm.
Seeing Ning Cong'an about to fall, Lin Qingyi didn't care about anything else and quickly stepped forward to help him steady himself.
Her body was stable, but the music was completely messed up for Ning Cong'an. Her mind was blank and she could no longer remember the dance.
Lin Qingyi met her somewhat confused eyes, and quickly pushed her to where she was standing, then she pushed up and completed Ning Cong'an's original dance.
After the solo dance ended, Lin Qingyi immediately exchanged positions with Ning Cong'an.
At this time, Ning Cong'an had calmed down. She reacted and continued dancing with her own movements.
The song ends.
The accident just now happened so suddenly that the audience below were frightened into silence.
After everyone bowed to the audience, they returned to the waiting room.
Ning Cong'an said, "I'm sorry, I didn't fix my pants before going on stage."
It was the first time that Lin Qingyi saw so many expressions on the other person's face, including guilt and regret.
She suddenly remembered the helplessness that the other party had inadvertently shown on the stage just now.
This dance was already very difficult for her, and whether she did it well or not, it was already a breakthrough for her.
Lin Qingyi was about to speak up to comfort him, but to his surprise, the remaining 14 teammates all started to speak at once: "It's okay, Captain Ning, you've done a great job. I would have been scared to death by that just now."
"That's right, it's amazing that you can get back to your form so quickly."
"And the cooperation with Qingyi just now was absolutely amazing. If I were a spectator or a mentor, I wouldn't be able to say it."
"Exactly, look at this chemistry! If I had such great adaptability, I would have bought hundreds of notices long ago!"
Everyone smiled and comforted Ning Cong'an. Ning Cong'an still had the same expression, but Lin Qingyi saw that the tip of his nose turned red.
Lin Qingyi said, "That's right. That dance was so difficult for you. You practiced it and memorized it. Just because of a pair of pants, it doesn't prove anything, nor does it affect anything. Everyone performed well, and the audience and the instructors must have seen it. You don't need to feel guilty."
“That’s right!”
The 16 girls gathered together, and everyone did their best and had no regrets.
When Lin Qing saw that another group was about to go on stage, he thought that Tan Xiaoran was in the center position, so he turned around and looked at the screen.
After Tan Xiaoran's group finished introducing themselves, they began to perform.
Because it was the last group, everyone was watching, and Lin Qingyi also felt that even though his teammates had just said so, they still couldn't help being nervous.
After all, for them, if they fail to beat this group, there is a high probability that everyone will face the risk of elimination.
Soon, the last group of performances ended.
The staff at the door were also calling them to go on stage.
The 16 girls looked at each other, and finally put their palms together to cheer themselves up. After encouraging each other, everyone walked onto the stage with full spirits.
Lin Qingyi walked up to them and met Tan Xiaoran's worried eyes. Lin Qingyi just smiled at her to comfort her.
After all 32 people were standing on the stage, instructor Ke Jiyao said, "Actually, the dances of these two groups are pretty good."
After saying this, he looked towards the sixth group.
"As the captain, Tan Xiaoran's formation was well-rehearsed, his singing was spot-on, and his center position dance solo was also strong. Overall, he had no flaws."
"As for the fifth group."
Ke Jiyao looked at their serious expressions and said with a smile, "You don't have to be so serious. I don't intend to criticize you."
Even though she said that, Ning Cong'an and the other 16 people couldn't relax at all.
"Ning Cong'an, your group's formation is really good."
"I've checked in private before. Your formation is all in Lin Qing's row, right?"
All 16 people nodded.
"It's great that everyone in the team helps each other. Everyone uses their strengths to help their teammates. This is the spirit that a girl group should demonstrate."
"As the team leader, Ning Cong'an also helped the team members a lot in vocal music. Although I'm not a vocal instructor, I can tell that the singing they just did was basically on tune."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at her vocal instructors Tao Ruiyun and Zhong Conglu. Seeing her, they both smiled and nodded, indicating that they agreed with her point of view.
"There was a slight mistake in the solo dance just now."
Here we come!
The 16 people held their breath and finally arrived at the place they were most worried about.
"There's definitely something wrong with the mistake you made just now. Ning Cong'an, you should have checked your costume again before going on stage. If you had, you wouldn't have made that mistake just now."
Ning Cong'an looked at her tutor. She had just reflected on this problem herself and it was indeed her negligence.
"However, regarding the cooperation with Lin Qingyi just now, I can't say that the merits outweigh the faults. After all, the mistake just now was quite serious. However, being able to demonstrate this kind of stage adaptability on the stage of the first performance is, I think, more valuable than the strength displayed in a regular manner."
"Of course, I'm not encouraging everyone to create accidents. To be honest, with the tacit cooperation between the two of you, I thought it was a deliberate arrangement."
"Seeing such strong adaptability from these two newcomers, I felt I had to step out and canvass for votes for their group."
Ke Jiyao spoke with a smile, and the audience below began to cheer.
"What does Instructor Fang Yingrong think?"
Fang Yingrong still had a serious expression. She rarely smiled, and she gave people a strong sense of oppression.
Seeing that the other party had given her the right to speak, Fang Yingrong was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Ning Cong'an's group's formation is the best among the six groups. It's obvious that they have put in real effort. From her previous stage performances, I also saw that as the team leader, Ning Cong'an, it can't be said that she lacks basic dance skills, but it can be said that her limbs are basically uncoordinated. However, this time, when everyone danced together, she had practiced to the point that she looked no different from the other team members. In the first half of the solo dance, it was clear that her dancing skills were there, but she finally practiced and persevered, which is worth encouraging."
"I also think Ning Cong'an's group is good."
The remaining two vocal instructors also praised, "Lin Qingyi's vocals are getting better and better. The vocal strength of the fifth group as a whole, while not perfect, has not caused any loss of voice or out-of-tune singing. To be able to improve to this level in just 15 days is truly worthy of everyone's support."
Basically every mentor expressed their affirmation of the fifth group. The 16 members standing on the stage looked better and better. In the end, everyone couldn't help but smile, which was completely different from the serious expressions when they first came on stage.
The instructor’s evaluation ends here, and a line of words pops up on the screen.
[Audience and mentors are requested to rate the two groups of participants.]
Lin Qingyi could feel that the members around him were very nervous, but they also had a more open mind.
But Ning Cong'an himself was still tense.
Lin Qingyi probably guessed why she was nervous. After practicing with her for the past few times, Lin Qingyi could feel that she was very strict with herself. She would naturally be upset if she made a mistake, but she was more worried about affecting the scores of other members of the team.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Qingyi quietly reached out his hand and pinched Ning Cong'an's wrist beside him.
Ning Cong'an's body stiffened visibly for a moment, and then he really relaxed a little, not as tense as before.
Soon, instructor Zhou Binglu, who was sitting in the middle, picked up the tablet next to her.
"Okay, the first performance, the scores for the last two groups are out."
"The winning group will be announced first."
"Finally, in the third track, the winning group is——"
"Congratulations, Group 5!"
"The members' individual ratings have appeared on the big screen. Everyone can turn around and check them out."
The scores of the 32 members have been clearly projected above the big screen.
The top three are Lin Qingyi, Ning Cong'an and Tan Xiaoran.
Then the screen flashed and turned into a ranking of 96 people.
Now, the first place is Lin Qingyi, the second is Ning Cong'an, the third is Ziyin, the fourth is Cen Jingshu, the fifth is Tan Xiaoran, the sixth is Yan Feiyang, and no one has any impression of the seventh member.
The most watched members are not the first seven, but the last 48.
Everyone still remembers that in the first performance, half of the people were eliminated according to the ranking, so naturally the bottom 48 would be eliminated.
After the rankings of all members were announced, Lin Qingyi felt relieved. At least she no longer had to worry about whether she or Tan Xiaoran would be eliminated, including Ning Cong'an beside her.
After seeing her ranking, Ning Cong'an did not lower her head immediately, but continued to look at the big screen. Lin Qingyi saw her eyes scanning the rows and quickly understood what she was looking at.
The other party was looking at all 16 people in their group to see if they were all ranked before 48th.
It was obvious that everyone cooperated very well, and the lowest rank was still 38. Seeing this, Ning Cong'an breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Qingyi smiled.
Although he seems to care nothing, he is actually someone who secretly cares whether others have been eliminated.
It's so cute.
Soon, the screen went dark. After announcing all the rankings, the mentors and the program team did not rush to say who would be eliminated. Instead, they asked everyone to go eat and rest first. At 10 am the next day, they still gathered on the first floor of the dormitory.
But not rushing to announce it doesn't mean that the following members can stay. After hearing the news of the disbandment, some people were happy and relaxed, while others were sad and anxious.
Some people happily went to eat with their friends, while some people didn’t even have dinner and went straight back to the dormitory and started packing their luggage while crying.
Lin Qingyi looked at the back of the member who was about to be eliminated, and was a little dazed.
You may not be eliminated now, but you may be the one next time.
Ning Cong'an beside her glanced at her and said, "Aren't you going to have dinner?"
Lin Qing was stunned for a moment. She thought it would be Tan Xiaoran, but she didn't expect it to be Ning Cong'an.
Seeing that she hadn't said anything and was just looking at him, Ning Cong'an seemed to feel a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Lin Qingyi said, "Okay, let's go, let's go eat."
