Chapter 123 The Seventh Trainee
Cheng Xuezhou didn't know what the other trainees were thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
In his opinion, when the mentors were selecting trainees, they wouldn't just look at their rankings; they would definitely look at whether the trainees were suitable for the songs. Cheng Xuezhou's confidence lay in the fact that the song he was about to choose would be the one that suited him best.
In fact, there are quite a lot of trainees who think this way.
Although everyone sighed on the surface about the program team not announcing the songs chosen by the mentors, they were relieved after figuring out the grouping rules.
At least now, everyone won't rush to one mentor.
After all, with the current rules, even if everyone wants to squeeze in, they don’t know where to go.
The trainees left the studio one by one.
From time to time, you could hear exclamations or excited shouts in the corridor outside. Whenever this happened, the trainees in the studio would envy the trainee who opened the blind box and got the mentor of their choice.
Soon, only the last three or five trainees were left in the studio.
"No. 25, Cheng Xuezhou."
Cheng Xuezhou, who was ranked fifth from the bottom, stood up and nodded to the remaining trainees, "Then I'll go choose first."
His gaze lingered proudly on Xia Linxing, who was in a daze in the corner, for a moment, and then he walked out with his chin raised with a little pride.
He had chosen the song he wanted to choose early in the morning, so he walked towards the room where the song was written with a clear goal, without any hesitation.
Although hesitating in the corridor could get more shots - which was also the reason why it took so long for the twenty or so trainees in front to get their turn - Cheng Xuezhou came with another purpose this time.
He had to show that he was unwavering in choosing this song. That way, he could gain a high ground in public opinion during any subsequent counter-selection; even if he was not chosen in the end, he would still be favored by the public.
However, after opening the door and seeing who the instructor was standing in the room, Cheng Xuezhou's thoughts completely changed -
He must, no, he must stay in this group!
Cheng Xuezhou's hand holding the door handle was shaking slightly with excitement.
He never imagined that the instructor leading this song would be Xie Tinglan!
Cheng Xuezhou had actually secretly analyzed in his mind what songs the five mentors would choose, but no matter how he speculated, he did not connect this lyrical love song with Xie Tinglan.
He originally thought that the mentor who chose this song would be Ji Qingwan, but he didn't expect to get such a big surprise!
Fortunately, he did not choose the group according to the song he guessed Xie Tinglan would choose, otherwise he would have failed twice this time (not only did he not choose the mentor he liked, but he also missed the song that suited him best)!
Great! His fourth public position is secured!
Oh, that's not right... Cheng Xuezhou quickly calmed down...
He is now just one step away from the final touch -
“1, 2, 3,…”
Cheng Xuezhou secretly counted the number of trainees already in the room in his mind.
Only when he counted to "5" did Cheng Xuezhou breathe a sigh of relief.
Great, he's the sixth one!
Cheng Xuezhou happily closed the door and walked towards the five trainees who were waiting there with a smile.
These people will be his teammates from now on!
Although there was a Shen Sibai... which made him a little dissatisfied, but when he thought of Shen Sibai's popularity and his previous stage performance, Cheng Xuezhou was not particularly dissatisfied.
He sat down next to the trainees with great interest and greeted them warmly.
The trainees also greeted him and asked, "Cheng Xuezhou, how many people are behind you..."
The smile on Cheng Xuezhou's face froze for a moment.
He is really bringing up something that is not related to the topic. When he said there are a few people behind him, isn't that the same as saying that he is ranked last?
He secretly glanced at the trainee who asked the question. That was Lin Xiaoman, a top vocalist ranked in the debut position. Cheng Xuezhou took a deep breath. He couldn't afford to offend this person.
He could only force a smile: "There should be four or five left..."
"Is that so..." Lin Xiaoman nodded and muttered, "I wonder if anyone else will choose our group..."
"Our current number is just right...if there are more, the instructors will have to make a re-selection..."
"Shouldn't, shouldn't it..." Cheng Xuezhou thought about the trainees who were ranked behind him. He had listened to their conversation before. Those who were at the bottom wanted to join other fast song and dance groups that could produce better results.
Only Xia Linxing hadn't spoken up to join the discussion, hadn't mentioned that he was going... Wait! Xia Linxing!
There is a Xia Linxing behind him!
Cheng Xuezhou, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly became uneasy.
Shouldn't, shouldn't it...
Xia Linxing wouldn't be so lucky as to choose this song, right?
Cheng Xuezhou also didn't want to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige. The truth was that every time he met Xia Linxing, nothing good happened. It was as if Xia Linxing was born to be his nemesis!
That is to say, the last "self-directed and self-acted" black hot search made Cheng Xuezhou vent his anger, but it was quickly suppressed by Xia Linxing, and now there is no splash.
Just when Cheng Xuezhou was feeling nervous, footsteps were heard in the corridor.
The trainees behind him started choosing songs.
Not only Cheng Xuezhou, but all the other trainees in the room began to get nervous. Whether their chances of joining Xie Tinglan's group could be maintained depended on whether the other trainees would choose their group.
Their ears pricked up quietly, listening carefully to the movements outside. Even if some trainees did not look up, their shoulders were already quietly tensed.
Cheng Xuezhou had already held his breath, his eyes fixed on the faint light coming through the crack in the door, fearing that it would be obscured by the shadow.
The footsteps gradually approached, and a dark shadow stopped at the door, blocking the light.
"Hiss..." I don't know which trainee in the room took a breath of cold air.
Could it be that their group cannot escape the fate of being counter-selected?
Fortunately, the shadow only stayed at the door for a moment and finally moved away hesitantly.
It was like I hesitated at the door for a moment, but finally decided not to choose this song.
The footsteps disappeared outside the door, and the trainees in the room exhaled and relaxed their shoulders.
This is really unbearable...
But I didn’t expect that the same situation would happen several times later!
After the footsteps left again, the trainees in the room were somewhat shaken. Their initial alertness gradually turned into a state of near numbness.
If you stick your head out, you will get hurt. If you hide your head, you will get hurt too. The trainees behind might as well just come in!
Every time the footsteps approached, their hearts would tighten until the footsteps left; if this tension and tension continued, their hearts would have problems!
Then it was as if God heard their "prayer" -
With a creaky sound, the door of their room was really pushed open this time.
The seventh trainee...is here.
