Chapter 32
The lift platform rises to the top.
Lin Qingyi stood in the middle, looking at the audience below. Although he knew that the rankings had been fixed last night, his heart was still beating wildly with excitement.
Soon, all the lights in the venue came on.
Lin Qingyi couldn't help but close his eyes.
The stage was really full of lights, all shining on them. Before they even started dancing, Lin Qingyi felt very hot.
The music starts.
This is their debut song.
24 girls sang and danced together on the stage. This song was created for them and also painted a bold and colorful stroke on their youth.
At this moment, they are their own idols.
The lights were hot and the weather was hot.
It rained a few days ago and it seems like it will continue to rain in the next few days. It is very hot and humid, and there is not a trace of sea breeze.
Lin Qingyi jumped to the back, and sweat kept pouring down and into her eyes. As she blinked, it flowed out again. She could no longer tell whether it was sweat or tears.
The lights were very bright and she couldn't see the audience clearly. She could only hear the sound of her own singing, the beat in her earphones, and her own heartbeat.
It was a three-minute song, but Lin Qingyi felt like he had been singing it for a very long time.
The music ends.
The lights dimmed one by one, and Lin Qingyi finally saw the audience clearly.
Lin Qingyi took a step back and took the hands of Ning Cong'an and Ziyin beside him.
24 girls, holding hands, bowed to the audience, not only to the audience, but also to all those who supported them and helped them get to where they are now.
Sweat dripped onto the stage and quickly evaporated.
Lin Qingyi felt that he might never forget this day.
The audience below cheered and waved their flashlights.
The instructors also came up from the side.
Ke Jiyao stood in the middle, holding the script, and said with a smile: "Thank you to all the audience for your strong support for our show from the beginning until now. It is because of you that the show has become what it is today."
"Tonight, we will witness the birth of the final seven debut spots together with all the audience, whether they are in person or watching on TV."
"Last night, the voting closed and was kept secret. No one knew who the final seven were, not even our mentors. None of us had the list."
"At that time, we will have an electronic board with the names of the top names on it, from the back to the front. When I read them out, they will also appear on the big screen."
"Everyone, are you looking forward to it?!"
The audience immediately responded loudly: "Look forward to it!"
"Okay, now, let's announce the 24th member."
On the right side of the stage, facing the sea, are the first seven debut positions.
On the left side of the stage is the back position.
Now that we have come this far, the program team also wants to give everyone a perfect ending.
Even if you are not in the top seven, everyone has their own place to stand as a symbol of their efforts.
Soon, names were called one by one. Although everyone was afraid that their name would be called in advance, even if their name was called, everyone still walked over happily and came to their own seat.
There were many audience members who supported them and were secretly shedding tears.
Everyone who has come here has worked hard. When talking about their efforts, not only they themselves may shed tears, but also the audience who sees it all.
We have all come to this day with courage and love, and no matter what the outcome, we are all happy.
As the names were read out one by one, Lin Qingyi looked at the audience below, not daring to move.
She is very nervous.
Rather than being nervous about herself, she was also nervous about Tan Xiaoran, Ning Cong'an, He Minju, and everyone in dormitory 409. She was endlessly nervous.
Soon, the eighth contestant's name was called.
Lin Qingyi held his breath unconsciously.
Not one she was nervous about.
But she didn't feel relieved either.
After the eighth name is announced, the seven people standing on the field will be the final candidates for debut.
Lin Qingyi was a little dazed and couldn't believe it.
He made his debut. He actually made his debut.
Tan Xiaoran moved to her side at some point. After reading out the eighth member, she still had no expression, but her hand was tightly holding Lin Qingyi.
Tan Xiaoran's palms were full of sweat.
Cold and hot.
The back of her hand was wet, but the palm of Lin Qingyi's own hand was not much dry either.
Next, the debut ranking will be announced.
The seventh place, just like last time, is He Minju.
But before this, He Minju felt that it was absolutely impossible for her to debut. Now that she has debuted, the ranking is not important to her.
When He Minju heard his name, his nose turned red and he walked to his seat.
When passing by Lin Qingyi, he hugged her.
Lin Qingyi smiled and patted her shoulder gently: "You are worth it."
The sixth place is Tan Xiaoran.
She was right next to him, and she cried out softly with joy. Her eyes were red, but she didn't cry. She excitedly gave Lin Qingyi a big hug, and without waiting for Lin Qingyi to say anything, she rushed straight to her position.
Lin Qing felt it was a little funny. She was standing there like a mascot. When she announced the two people, they both came over and hugged her.
The fifth place is Cen Jingshu.
Hearing the name, Lin Qingyi looked over with a smile. The other person still had the same smile on his face as usual, and was as gentle as ever. She took the initiative to hug Yan Feiyang next to her, and then walked to her seat.
Yan Feiyang next to him was confused, and then his face turned red with anger.
The fourth place is Yan Feiyang.
She pursed her lips. Lin Qingyi was very familiar with her. This was the expression she would suppress before she was about to cry. She smiled and looked at Yan Feiyang. Yan Feiyang showed her the same arrogant expression as always. He glanced at her a few more times when he passed by her, but in the end he did nothing and went straight to his seat.
The third place is Ning Cong'an.
When Lin Qing heard the other person's name, her eyes lit up and she turned her head happily. Just as she was thinking of celebrating for her, the other person hugged her without saying a word.
Then, the audience below started screaming.
Ning Cong'an said nothing. After hugging her, he still had a normal expression and walked over.
The second place is Lin Qingyi.
Lin Qing smiled, looked at Ziyin, the last person on the field, gave her a congratulatory expression, and then walked to the second place.
There is no suspense about the middle position.
It’s Ziyin’s.
As soon as Ziyin's position was revealed, the audience below started screaming, as if they were going to overturn the entire venue.
The instructor smiled and read out her name.
After that, the list on the big screen finally appeared in full.
Ziyin stood in the first place, just like she sat in the first chair when she first arrived.
Ambitious people will not limit themselves to a certain field.
The microphone was handed over.
Starting from the seventh place, they will give their debut speeches.
The moment he got the microphone, He Minju couldn't help but shed tears. After he finished speaking with a trembling voice, the audience below also applauded.
Tan Xiaoran, on the other hand, was holding back her tears. Tears kept welling up in her eyes, but she held the microphone tightly in her hand to prevent the tears from falling.
Because she was afraid.
She was afraid that her makeup would be ruined by crying, so the camera was shooting straight at her, and she couldn't let a bad picture appear at this time.
The microphone was passed to Cen Jingshu.
Cen Jingshu usually has the image of an older sister who never shows her emotions. Although she is younger than Lin Qingyi, she is much more calm. However, when she took the microphone, she couldn't help but feel a sore nose and her voice was a little hoarse.
Yan Feiyang took the microphone, said a few words of thanks, and then handed the microphone to Ning Cong'an.
After the camera left, Yan Feiyang quietly lowered his head and secretly shed tears.
Ning Cong'an may be the only contestant in the whole audience who has neither a sore nose nor red eyes.
Like a robot, she thanked everyone and then naturally handed the microphone to her.
However, when handing the microphone, Ning Cong'an saw Lin Qingyi's red eyes and was stunned for a rare moment.
Lin Qingyi held the microphone, not shaking or crying, but his eyes were sore.
She first thanked everyone she could, just like everyone before her, and then she said, "I am carrying everyone's love, so I am very happy. I dare not say that I am the happiest person, but this is the happiest moment in my life."
Tears glistened in her eyes, and a drop gently slid down, and she bowed in gratitude.
Without the people who supported her, she wouldn’t be here.
On the big screen, her tears were illuminated by the lights, reflecting many colors, like sequins, sparkling on her cheeks. The audience below was also moved and cried softly.
Ning Cong'an looked at the big screen, a little absent-minded.
Finally, here are Ziyin’s words of gratitude.
Ziyin's words were as bold as she was: "Since I've decided to be number one, I'll do my best to achieve it, and today, I really did it."
The audience below is just like the contestants on the first day. Even if some people question her and don't believe in her, there will always be more voices encouraging her and admiring her ambition.
From not having anything eye-catching on her first stage to doing everything well now, her efforts may not all be seen by the members and the audience, and the bitterness of it is more known to herself.
People with ambition and perseverance will definitely achieve good results.
End of the speech.
The host also came up from backstage.
"Thank you to all the producers for your company. Next, please invite the seven members to come on stage and announce the team name."
Ziyin walked down first, and everyone followed and walked onto the stage.
The instructor gave the electronic board to Ziyin.
The first place winner becomes the captain by default.
After making sure everyone had seen, Ziyin picked up the microphone and started: "Hello everyone, we are——"
"FOREST!"
forest.
Vast and mysterious.
Friendly and inclusive.
With innate purification ability.
With such strong yet gentle names, they are moving step by step towards a better future.
