Chapter 105 He Doesn't Want to Believe
Early the next morning, the trainees who had finished their makeup gathered in the studio.
Although the trainees’ groups for the third performance were announced, this time, the trainees did not have the nervousness and tension they had in the previous groupings.
After all, most of the trainees had already informed their agencies in advance. For example, the trainees with the highest votes and the highest popularity already knew which group they would be assigned to.
Of course, not all trainees are so calm——
There are also many trainees who are very aware that they will most likely not be able to compete with those popular trainees because their rankings are not high enough. Therefore, they are in a state of anxiety, knowing that they may not be able to get the songs they like and worrying about which group they will be assigned to in the end.
Among the trainees with all kinds of different expressions, there was only one person - although he didn't know which group he would go to, he was calm and composed.
Because no matter which group he goes to, with his level, he will always be at the bottom, so it doesn't make any difference...
——This is what Mr. Xia Linxing, who is very self-aware, thinks.
Unfortunately, some people can't stand Xia Linxing being so leisurely and contented:
"Xia Linxing..."
Cheng Xuezhou walked over to Xia Linxing and sat down, his face full of obvious concern: "Do you know which group you will be assigned to?"
ah?
Xia Linxing turned his head to glance at Cheng Xuezhou, somewhat surprised by the sudden concern of this unfamiliar friend. However, he still shook his head in response to the question: "I don't know..."
He answered honestly: "I'll go to whichever place my fans vote for me to go."
He listens to his fans!
"So that's how it is..."
Cheng Xuezhou nodded on the surface, but sneered in his heart: It sounds nice... something like "I'll go to whichever party my fans vote for me to go to"... It's as if Xia Linxing's fans can really help him vote for a result.
However, Cheng Xuezhou still pretended to be hypocritical and said, "I really envy you for having such a good attitude..."
"Xia Linxing, I think you can fit in perfectly in any group..."
"I'm different... Alas..." Cheng Xuezhou sighed pretentiously, "My level is limited, and only one group's songs are more suitable for me..."
"But it seems like a lot of the top-ranked trainees are interested in the group I want to join. I wonder if my fans can help me get into that group..."
He turned his head to look at Xia Linxing, his eyes flashing with a light that Xia Linxing couldn't understand, "If only I had as many fans as you do, Xia Linxing..."
"Huh?" Xia Linxing was a little confused.
Does he have many fans?
If he remembered correctly, he remembered the ranking after the second public performance. Although Cheng Xuezhou's ranking dropped a little compared to the first result, it was still higher than his, right?
Wait... Xia Linxing suddenly reacted and slowly opened his eyes wide:
Is he being sarcastic to me?
However, before Xia Linxing could puff up her cheeks and ask back, the lights in the studio dimmed.
The announcement of the groups for the third performance has officially begun.
All the trainees sat at attention, some eager, some nervous, some trying to remain calm... all staring intently at the stage. The studio, which had been a bit noisy, suddenly fell silent.
Xia Linxing could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and moved his butt a little away from Cheng Xuezhou, showing with his actions that he was a little angry!
The mentor who presided over the announcement of the groups was Zhou Xubai.
He appeared on the stage with a smile on his face. Perhaps because Zhou Xubai himself had debuted as a talent show trainee, he knew the trainees were eager to know the grouping results, so he only gave a few opening remarks and then started announcing the grouping results.
The big screen lit up and began playing the performance song demo that the production team had shown the trainees earlier. After the demo finished playing, the song title appeared on the screen in huge letters.
"Now then..." Zhou Xubai said with a smile, "Let's begin by announcing the names of the first group of trainees!"
I don't know if the production team did it for the show effect, to increase the show length, or simply to mess with the trainees' mentality in a funny way, but this time the grouping was announced just like the ranking of the trainees, with the names of the trainees voted for this song by fans being cast one by one on the big screen.
The names of the trainees appeared on the big screen one after another. As Zhou Xubai read out the names in a rhythmic manner, some trainees were ecstatic while others were dejected.
Of course, the reason for being ecstatic is that your name appears under the name of your favorite song. However, there are many reasons for being dejected. Some people are upset because they don’t see their name under the song that is currently being played. Others are upset because they see their name appear under the name of another song before the demo of their favorite song starts playing.
For example, the one next to Xia Linxing——
"how so?!!!"
Cheng Xuezhou looked at his own name clearly displayed on the screen under the name of the demo song currently playing. His face turned pale instantly and he dug his palm tightly with his fingers.
If he hadn't remembered that the show was still being recorded, he would have almost shouted out loud.
But... Cheng Xuezhou stared at his name on the big screen, and he couldn't understand why the thing that the agency had agreed to with him, which was set in stone, had turned out like this...
According to the agency, his votes had clearly been ranked fourth (for that song), and the agency also said they had other votes in hand. So no matter how you look at it, he had a sure win.
So... there must be something wrong!
That’s right! Cheng Xuezhou thought of something and suddenly perked up.
The grouping for the song he wanted to choose hadn’t been announced yet!
As long as you see which trainees are assigned to which group, the truth will be revealed!
Soon, familiar music sounded in Cheng Xuezhou's ears, and he raised his head quickly.
Because he thought he had a sure win, Cheng Xuezhou simply started learning this song these days. So as soon as the prelude sounded, he recognized that this was the song he had originally chosen.
It was also the song he initially thought was a sure thing.
He looked at the big screen with burning eyes.
The first name slowly emerged.
"Okay, let's congratulate our first trainee—"
“Shen Sibai!”
Teacher Zhou Xubai's voice rang out, but Cheng Xuezhou remained unmoved.
The name of the second trainee also appeared.
"Let us congratulate the second trainee—"
"Zhao Jian!"
Cheng Xuezhou remained calm and composed.
After all, he knew from the beginning that Shen Sibai and Zhao Jian had chosen this song.
But what happened next... he didn't expect -
"How is this possible?!"
Cheng Xuezhou looked at the name slowly appearing on the screen and his eyes widened in shock.
Why! ?
Why is Xia Linxing on the list of trainees for the group he likes?!
