STAR is a group of trainees from Morning Star Company, with a total of three girls. They worked very hard for the "National Idol" audition. Who knew that the next day, they would find out that another person would join their group, and that person is Xia Shiyu.
Lina, who has the hottest temper, snorted coldly: "It's great to be airdropped, and you don't even have to participate in the interview. You are worthy of being an artist brought by the big boss himself."
Team leader Yao Xuetong frowned: "Say less."
Tian Sisi is the youngest in STAR, just 16 years old. She is usually well-behaved, but when encountering such things, she doesn't say anything, just sits aside silently.
Lina was like a fire-breathing dragon: "We have been training for so long, and we have already gotten used to each other. She suddenly joined, and we have to start all over again. How can we compete with others on stage?!"
For trainees like them, the older they are, the smaller their advantages are. Unfortunately, the day of debut is far away. They finally got this opportunity, and of course they don't want to miss it.
Tian Sisi added in a low voice: "Her reputation was not very good before. Will it... affect us?"
Yao Xuetong pursed her lips, but still said with a smile: "Okay, don't say anything."
At this time, the door of the practice room was opened, and their agent led Shen Huai and Xia Shiyu in with a flattering smile, and introduced them to each other.
It was the first time for Shen Huai to meet the trainees of the company. Several girls were a little reserved in front of him, so Shen Huai didn't say much. He said hello, left Xia Shiyu behind and left.
The agent signaled the three girls with his eyes: "This is Xiao Xia, she debuted earlier than you, she is your senior."
Several girls looked at each other and reluctantly called "senior".
The agent was very disappointed and pointed at them. He didn't have time to teach them a lesson and hurried out to chase Shen Huai away.
The atmosphere in the practice room suddenly became awkward, but Yao Xuetong stepped forward and introduced herself to Xia Shiyu: "Hello, my name is Yao Xuetong, and I'm the captain of STAR."
Xia Shiyu was very sensitive to people's emotions. As soon as she walked in, she felt that the three girls here were hostile to her. She had thought of this possibility a long time ago, so she didn't care.
She didn't deliberately get close to them, but pretended to be indifferent and said with a smile: "Next, I will ask you for your guidance. Sister Fang said before that you have a practice schedule, but she forgot to give it to me. Can you please make a copy for me?"
Yao Xuetong didn't expect her to get into the role so quickly. She was stunned for a moment before saying: "Okay, follow me."
Xia Shiyu: "Thank you."
Yao Xuetong avoided her eyes and walked out of the practice room.
As soon as they left, Lina stood up in anger and said, "No more practice! Go back!"
Tian Sisi wanted to say something, but she was too weak to resist Lina and was dragged away by her.
So, when Yao Xuetong and Xia Shiyu came back, the practice room was empty. Yao Xuetong frowned slightly and had to explain to Xia Shiyu, "They may be tired and go back to rest first."
Xia Shiyu smiled and did not expose her lie.
Before coming, Shen Huai actually talked to her about this problem. As they were from the same company, they had to go out together. The other three had been training for a long time. She was a parachuted in person and suddenly joined in, which would definitely cause conflicts.
But after actually arriving, Xia Shiyu found that although these girls treated her badly, they just walked away like this. They didn't seem to be saying sweet words or being malicious, nor did they mock her in person. For a competitor who completely disrupted their plans, this was already a very good temper.
While teaching her to dance, Yao Xuetong carefully observed her expression, fearing that she would turn around and complain to the big boss if she was unhappy. Unexpectedly, Xia Shiyu didn't seem to be angry, but instead studied the dance seriously. She was much easier to get along with than she thought.
Yao Xuetong breathed a sigh of relief and taught more attentively.
Then she found that Xia Shiyu had a very high level of comprehension and learned very quickly. She didn't seem to have much dance experience, but as long as Yao Xuetong danced once, she could remember about 70% of the movements, and she could quickly understand the key points Yao Xuetong talked about.
So in just one afternoon, Xia Shiyu had learned the whole dance. Although she was still unfamiliar with it, her progress was amazing.
Xia Shiyu didn't think it was a big deal. When she was a backup dancer for her seniors, she often learned a dance in two or three days. If she learned slowly, she would never be able to go on stage.
Yao Xuetong went back with a full heart of shock. Xia Shiyu
had a meal in the cafeteria, glanced at the hot and sour pig intestines on the menu with a sad look, and then silently began to eat cucumbers.
After dinner, Xia Shiyu returned to the practice room, turned on the music and started to learn dance.
——The
next morning, Yao Xuetong and the other two arrived at the practice room early. Tian Sisi yawned and asked Yao Xuetong in a daze: "Captain, did you turn off the lights after practicing last night?"
Yao Xuetong frowned: "No, I never forget to turn off the lights..."
She suddenly thought of something, walked over quickly, opened the door, and a familiar sound of music came. Sure enough, she saw Xia Shiyu practicing dance inside. The weather was getting cooler at this time, but Xia Shiyu's clothes were stained with sweat, which showed that she had been practicing for a while.
Compared with yesterday's unfamiliarity, she has made a lot of progress today. Although her movements are still a little non-standard, she has grasped the essence of this dance very well.
More importantly, her attitude was very correct, and she didn't just do it casually because of the backstage. Originally, Yao Xuetong thought that Xia Shiyu couldn't dance at all, and the whole group might be dragged down by her. Although she didn't say it on her face, she still had some resistance in her heart. But now seeing her practicing dancing, Yao Xuetong's face looked much better.
The sound of several girls coming in startled Xia Shiyu. She stopped, turned her head and said with a smile: "You are here? I thought you didn't have breakfast, so I prepared a few more."
Several girls looked in the direction of her gaze. On the table were whole wheat bread, milk and eggs. Because the cafeteria opened late, they usually went to the cafeteria to eat after practicing dancing. They didn't expect Xia Shiyu to prepare food.
Tian Sisi swallowed her saliva: "Where... where did you buy it?"
Xia Shiyu smiled and said: "I ordered the bread and milk in advance, and they were delivered last night. I put them in the refrigerator. You can just take them out of the refrigerator next time. I cooked the eggs this morning. If you want to eat them, I will make them for you tomorrow. It's not a big deal anyway."
Lina muttered softly: "Pretentious..."
Yao Xuetong pinched her and said to Xia Shiyu: "Thank you."
After they finished breakfast, Tian Sisi was completely won over by Xia Shiyu. She followed her around, calling her senior, and even offered to help her with details. Yao Xuetong and Lina didn't say anything. Even if they had complaints about Xia Shiyu before, the efforts and progress she showed finally changed their minds about her. Xia
Shiyu always had a smile on her face. Even Lina, who disliked her the most, couldn't say bad things to her, so she just practiced on her own and ignored her.
Xia Shiyu sighed in her heart. In her eyes, these girls were just like the younger generation. She didn't want to make a fuss about anything. Bringing breakfast was just a convenience.
But she didn't expect that their personalities were much simpler than she thought. Seeing Tian Sisi trying her best to help her pick out the details, Yao Xuetong who didn't talk much but always paid attention to them silently, and Lina who had a bad temper but a good heart,
the few of them reached a delicate peace.
However, when it came to the vocal training in the afternoon, the atmosphere fell into a condensed state again.
This song is not difficult. At least compared to dancing, singing is a piece of cake for Xia Shiyu. Her own skills, plus the talent of this body, are enough to beat most female singers on the market, not to mention Yao Xuetong and other trainees who have not yet debuted.
The vocal teacher was overjoyed and directly suggested that Xia Shiyu be the lead singer.
Yao Xuetong and Tian Sisi looked at each other. Tian Sisi seemed to want to say something, but was pulled by Yao Xuetong and could only look at Lina worriedly.
Lina's face was a little pale, and she bit her lips tightly.
She has always been the vocal in the team, so when she knew that Xia Shiyu joined, her reaction was the most intense. After all, although she sings well, she is definitely not as good as Xia Shiyu, a professional singer who has released an album.
In terms of dancing, she is not as good as the captain, and in terms of appearance and personality, she is not as good as Tian Sisi. If she doesn't have the only thing she is good at, singing, she will have no highlights in the show.
That's why she had the worst attitude towards Xia Shiyu at first, but now that she has heard him sing in person, no matter how unwilling she is, she has to admit that Xia Shiyu was born to sing. If it's for the good of the team, she should agree with the vocal teacher's suggestion, but...
the vocal teacher felt a little reluctant when she saw her, but she had to consider the whole team after all. If the two of them were of the same level, it would be fine, but everyone could hear that Xia Shiyu's level was much higher than Lina's, so she had to make this decision with a hard heart.
"Lina..."
However, before Lina could say anything, Xia Shiyu stood up and said, "Teacher, let Lina be the lead singer, I can sing harmony for her."
When she said this, not only the vocal teacher was stunned, but even Lina and the other two members looked at her in disbelief.
The vocal teacher frowned and said, "Now is not the time to be humble. This is for the sake of the whole team."
Lina's face turned pale and she turned her head away: "You don't have to be nice. I'm not as strong as you. I admit it."
Xia Shiyu said calmly: "I understand the teacher's concern, but this song requires the lead singer and other members to cooperate well. After all, I just joined. It is not easy to achieve such a tacit understanding in a short time. Rather than adding such variables, it is better to be safe."
"Besides, I haven't practiced my dance yet. If I'm too greedy, I might not be able to catch the last one. It's better to concentrate. This is also a good thing for the team. Teacher, am I right?"
The vocal teacher looked at Xia Shiyu steadily: "You have to understand that the program will start elimination in the second episode. If you can't perform well in your first appearance, you may be eliminated directly in the first round. Even so, do you still want to give up the position of lead singer?"
The other three looked at Xia Shiyu nervously.
Xia Shiyu nodded: "Yes."
The vocal teacher was a little disappointed: "You are very good, but there are too many excellent people in the entertainment industry, and the competition is too fierce. If you want to stand out, you must seize every opportunity. You can have a bottom line, but giving away every opportunity that comes to you, I don't think this is kindness, on the contrary, it is a kind of stupidity."
Xia Shiyu smiled and did not refute her.
Because she used to think the same way, she tried her best to seize every opportunity to climb up, but in the end she found that even if she climbed to the top, it was meaningless.
Lina's face flushed. She could not imagine that she had always been rude to Xia Shiyu, but she helped herself in this way. She could not help but ask: "Why are you helping me?"
Xia Shiyu was stunned. She remembered that she once asked Pei Ran why he helped her back then.
Pei Ran just smiled and said: "Because it is a piece of cake for me, but it is a life-saving straw for you."
This sentence was firmly remembered by her mind, and she wanted to change her lifestyle if she lived again.
