Chapter 47 Well Done
"Um, Teacher Xubai, it's like this..."
A trainee who was closest to Zhou Xubai came up to him and whispered something in his ear.
After a moment, the person who seemed to be hesitant to speak turned into Zhou Xubai.
"You mean...they're fighting so hard...for the worst part?"
Zhou Xubai glanced at Shen Sibai and Xia Linxing with an indescribable look.
Because of his arrival, the two men temporarily stopped arguing, but it was obvious that one of the kids named Xia was very dissatisfied. He turned his back to Shen Sibai and didn't look at him.
Oh, even his cheeks were puffed up with anger.
"Hmm..." The other trainees nodded with heavy expressions.
Yes, the truth is that outrageous.
If they hadn't watched the whole thing from the side, they wouldn't have believed that such an outrageous thing could happen in the world...
"Ha, haha..." Zhou Xubai laughed awkwardly and changed the subject: "So, have you decided on the center position? Who is it?"
The other five trainees all shook their heads: "It's not decided yet."
Before the others started fighting, those two started fighting first...
Because of the fight between Shen Sibai and Xia Linxing, the five people, who had originally been filled with a strong sense of war, had now become quite calm. If they were given a lotus flower, they could even cosplay the "calm and composed" emoji.
It was over. His attempt to change the subject had failed… Zhou Xubai was mentally screaming about what kind of hellish shoot this was, and could only awkwardly excuse himself, “But your crew is… still… pretty loving…”
This was the first time he'd seen trainees fighting for the worst part instead of the center position. Don't they usually start with the best and work their way down? Why was it the other way around for this group?
He doesn't understand.
Originally, Zhou Xubai was very enthusiastic about playing the role of Master Qingtang and helping these trainees to be a referee. If it was a competition for the C position, he could judge who was better. The trainee who was not selected would at most be defeated by the best trainee in the group, which could be considered an honorable defeat.
But… in this situation, how can he be the master of clear soup?! Whoever he chooses will be the worst in the group? After the selection, that trainee won't have to struggle anymore, and he… can also not struggle with it.
So in the end, he could only offer a few random words of encouragement, saying a bunch of the same old nonsense, asking the trainees in this group to work hard and cheer up, and then he hurriedly took the cameraman and left the suffocating practice room.
"Huh..." Zhou Xubai breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he left the classroom.
Oh my God, let’s let someone else take charge of this group’s affairs from now on… He’s just a new senior who debuted not long ago, let him go!
"Hey, Xu Bai, are you done filming too?"
Not far away in the corridor, several mentors were gathered together. They had obviously just finished filming the same content as Zhou Xubai, visiting the trainees.
"Brother Drex!!!" Zhou Xubai screamed exaggeratedly and rushed over, "I'm in so much pain..."
"Hey, what's going on?" Drex caught Zhou Xubai in a panic.
Because the camera behind him was still on, Zhou Xubai gesticulated and told the other four instructors what had just happened in the practice room, from his misunderstanding to his shock after learning the truth.
This made the two female instructors, Jiang Wen and Ji Qingwan, laugh non-stop. "What? So, Xiao Zhou, you're so funny..."
Zhou Xubai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had deliberately exaggerated this so that when the show officially aired, no one would say he was being silly in the practice room. They would just think it was a show trick.
"Xia Linxing again? Isn't he a bit too funny?"
Ji Qingwan carefully wiped the tears from her eyes with her fingertips. The smile on her face could not be wiped away. She looked around and suddenly said happily, "Look, I even made our teacher Xie laugh..."
Zhou Xubai looked over in amazement.
It really is!
Unexpectedly, even Xie Tinglan, whose facial expression management had always been impeccable, smiled after hearing his description.
Zhou Xubai understood!
It seems that he can talk more about this kind of things with Xie Tinglan in the future, so that he can establish a good relationship with Teacher Xie!
…
In the classroom on the other side, Xia Linxing and Shen Sibai were in a "war", and in the end, Xia Linxing defeated Shen Sibai without giving in.
During this period, Xia Linxing even showed unreasonable attitude of "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen" and willful attitude of "I want it, I want it" in order to compete for the part, which once amazed the other five trainees.
But...Xia Linxing grabbed the worst part. Even if this part was included in the show without any cuts, it probably wouldn't have much negative impact.
As for Chen Sibai, he was ultimately forced to give up after failing to win over the stubborn Xia Linxing. Not only did he gain a reputation for humility and sacrifice for the team, but he also didn't have to take the worst part.
The other five trainees who watched the entire process had expressions of sudden enlightenment on their faces, such as "I've learned something", "I didn't expect there was such an angle", and "It turns out there is a way to get the spotlight this way".
They are shallow!
With the support of Chen Sibai and Xia Linxing, the subsequent competition for the C position and the distribution of the remaining parts were unexpectedly smooth, and the five trainees were also quite calm.
How should I put it? It’s not that there are no trainees who secretly want to replicate Xia Linxing’s previous operation, but when they really practice it themselves, they find that—
He couldn't bring himself to do it.
He really couldn't lie on the practice room floor like Xia Linxing, holding the C part lyrics paper tightly and shouting "I want this, I want this".
How should I put it? When I saw Xia Linxing doing it, I thought he was lying on the ground like a child, and he looked cute when he was playing tricks on others. But when it was his turn to do it himself——
Help, this is so embarrassing...
Just as he lay down, he jumped up from the ground as if he was scalded by the floor.
——All I can say is that the traffic formula is in front of them, but not everyone has the ability and courage to apply it to themselves.
Fortunately, Xia Linxing just made a fuss when the parts were divided. After that, he seemed like a different person. He became very easy to talk to, whether in training or in daily interactions.
Even - obedient.
For example, during daily practice, he would practice whatever he was told to do without a single complaint. For example, whether he was taught to sing or dance, he would follow the instructions and would not argue with the teacher.
The other trainees were teaching and became complacent with their own teaching.
No wonder Shen Sibai was willing to spend so much time teaching Xia Linxing during the theme song assessment!
This teaching experience is simply amazing!
Originally, they had some objections to Xia Linxing's existence, but after teaching Xia Linxing for two days, they all changed sides.
It turns out that there are such well-behaved, obedient and studious students in the world!
Shen Sibai, well done!
…
Practice time often flies by quickly.
Soon, it was the day before the first official competition.
The entire trainee dormitory and the practice classroom were filled with a tense atmosphere.
However, compared to the other trainees' nervousness about the upcoming stage, Xia Linxing...had another layer of nervousness -
"Good boy..." System 999 had to remind him, who was immersed in practicing the program, "Mission, don't forget the mission..."
They also have a mission to drug the protagonist!
Although this task had to be completed before the official start of the first public performance (after all, the purpose was to make Shen Sibai look bad on the stage), the problem was -
Their medicine hasn’t arrived yet!
The original novel's "Xia Linxing" likely obtained the powder through a cell phone, seeking help from the bribed staff member. The problem is that Xia Linxing doesn't have a cell phone, and the staff member who originally bought the bucket hasn't contacted them since their beloved child arrived on the show. Perhaps because they were afraid of being discovered, or because they accepted the money but didn't have a good attitude towards their work, no one has contacted them since their child arrived on the show.
So, now the two of them can only find a solution on their own.
Although training classrooms are generally equipped with a first aid kit, most of the items inside are external medications for injuries such as Band-Aids, iodine, and pain patches, with at most some cold medicine and painkillers.
Laxatives are rare items that can only be bought outside.
But the problem is that Xia Linxing doesn't have a cell phone right now, so he can't order medicine for delivery; he can't borrow a cell phone from other trainees. Not to mention whether other trainees are willing to reveal the fact that they have cell phones, just think about using someone else's cell phone to order laxatives... Isn't this obviously writing the words "I'm going to do something bad" on his face?
Xia Linxing: QAQ
System 999 also fell into thought: "How can I get the medicine?"
It sighed, "The infrastructure of this base is still not perfect..." It would be great if there was a pharmacy...
Huh?
Xia Linxing's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although it’s not available in pharmacies, there are other places where you can get medicine!
Moreover, he had been to this place before!
