Chapter 11 First FM "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Yi from To5...
With the fan meeting approaching, they entered into intensive rehearsals.
This time the release is a single. In addition to new songs, there will also be a few old songs and a solo medley. This was all new stuff for Li Xi. He needed to remember more and more complicated things than the others. Fortunately, he did not do no homework during this period. He listened to To5's old songs almost every day. He did not have many lyrics and his dance moves were simple when he was in the center. He focused on group dance and solo.
Jiang Yilan's solo is relatively simple. In the last official album, each member had a personal single. The one given to him was a sweet song with a light-hearted style, without any dance, high or low notes. The whole song was in a very comfortable middle range, and anyone who was not tone-deaf could sing it. It was very suitable for the previous Jiang Yilan.
The difficulty of this song is too low for Li Xi, but this is his first official stage performance and his first solo song. No matter how simple it is, he will be well prepared and put all his energy into it.
The solos of other members included some wonderful dance music and some showy lyrical songs, and his little sweet song was placed in the middle like a transition. The set was on the right side of the stage, with a pink background wall and high chairs, and a basket of roses on the ground, which could be thrown to the fans in the audience while singing.
The next day was the fan meeting, and they were having the final rehearsal for the evening. In front of Li Xi's solo was Tang Ruining. After he finished his performance in the middle of the stage, the central lights went out and the lights on the side stage came on. He sat on a high chair, wearing a white suit. When the lights were on, he looked like a prince described in a fairy tale, and there was a flower pinned on the microphone.
Even though it was a sweet song that wasn't difficult to sing, everyone could hear that his singing style was different from before. In the past, Jiang Yilan's singing of this song was at KTV level, there was nothing wrong with it, but it wasn't very good either. Now his voice has thickness, not a single word sounds floating, and his singing fits the atmosphere of the song. His voice sounds smiling, sweet but not greasy, which makes people feel good when listening to it.
“I think Yilan’s song should be placed at the end of our solo medley.” Rong Xiao said, “A lighthearted and sweet song is a good ending.”
The original intention was for Wu Xingye to end the show with a difficult ballad, which would be the finale. After listening to Rong Xiao's words, the stage director thought it made sense and asked them to adjust the order and try it again. The effect was very good, and Jiang Yilan was fully able to carry on to the end.
The rehearsal lasted until late at night, and the five people returned to the dormitory exhausted. It was almost three o'clock when Li Xi saw the WeChat message from his sister after he finished washing up. They had not had much time to contact each other in the past few days. Li Mo would come to the fan meeting to see him tomorrow. Her last WeChat message was, "See you tomorrow, brother. Good night!" 】
Li Wei smiled gently at the screen, replied, turned off the phone and quickly fell asleep.
The next day, everyone got up early again. Li Xi was always the first or second one to get up. Today, Wu Xingye also got up early and was already sitting at the dining table.
"Morning, Xingye, you got up so early."
"Good morning." Wu Xingye said. He was eating and asked Li Xi, "Would you like to eat something? There's plenty."
"What do you want to eat?" Li Xi pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Yogurt mixed with nuts." Wu Xingye helped him tear open a box of yogurt and scooped two tablespoons of nuts into it. "This yogurt tastes great. I always buy this kind. Try it."
"Okay, thank you." Li Xi took it and stirred the yogurt. There were many varieties of nuts.
After finishing a bowl of yogurt in a few bites, a few minutes later, Li Xi suddenly felt something was wrong.
His throat tightened, he was having trouble breathing, and several parts of his body began to itch.
Clearly, this is a symptom of an allergy.
Li Xi immediately went to the bathroom to induce vomiting, but vomiting did not provide any relief.
"What's wrong, Yilan?" Wu Xingye asked.
"I'm going to the hospital." His voice was hoarse, and his chest was stuffy and his breathing was difficult, but he tried to finish his words, "I might be allergic to some nuts."
“What?” Wu Xingye was stunned, and then said in panic: “How could it be… I, I will go with you!”
Li Xi quickly took her things and opened the door. "I'll ask Xiao Cheng to go with me. You don't have to go. You still have to prepare for the meeting."
The fan meeting is at 7pm, and Li Xi doesn’t know if she can still attend.
In the car, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes without saying a word. Xiao Cheng was so anxious that he was about to cry again. When they arrived at the destination, Xiao Cheng hurriedly helped people get out of the car. Li Xi smiled weakly and still had the energy to joke: "It's not to the point where you can't walk yet."
"Stop talking!" Xiao Cheng said anxiously.
In the dormitory, Wu Xingye told the others what happened. Rong Xiao decided to go to the hospital and asked the others to go about their makeup and make-up preparations as usual so as not to delay the fan meeting.
When Rong Xiao arrived at the hospital, Jiang Yilan had already been injected with an injection and his symptoms were relieved a lot. He sat in a single room to rest and observe, with Xiao Cheng beside him.
"Are you okay?" Rong Xiao asked. Jiang Yilan smiled at him, "Much better, not too serious."
"That's good." Rong Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. "We didn't know you were allergic to nuts. You probably forgot about it yourself."
"Yeah, I forgot everything." He shook his head helplessly. He had never experienced an allergy before. If his roommate had not been allergic to mangoes and had the same symptoms, Li Xi probably would not have realized that he was allergic at first.
Just in case, he also had to ask Mother Jiang if there was anything else he was allergic to.
The three of them rushed to the FM venue together. His allergy symptoms had mostly subsided, but he still felt uncomfortable, especially his throat, which was naturally not as good as usual. But being able to go on stage was a blessing. Missing the first show would be hard for Li Xi to explain not only to the fans who bought tickets but also to himself.
As soon as he arrived, everyone rushed over to show concern. Yuan Zhiyan was halfway through putting on her makeup when she ran over to hold his arm, her face full of worry: "Are you okay, brother?"
"It's okay, don't worry." Li Xi smiled as she looked at him with eyeliner only on one side, and patted his arm affectionately.
Tang Ruining stood behind without saying anything. As soon as Li Wei met his eyes, he turned and left.
I took medicine again before going on stage. It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous the first time I went on stage, especially after this little accident. My heart was pounding and my chest was aching. I was afraid that something might happen to my body again.
The cheers of fans could be heard backstage. Li Xi closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Rong Xiao stood beside him and patted his shoulder.
At the beginning of the new song, Li Xi's voice trembled a little, but he quickly adjusted himself and performed steadily afterwards. During the duet dance, the screams from the audience were louder than ever. The two of them had their backs to each other, but they danced in sync as if they were looking in a mirror. Tang Ruining grabbed his hand and pulled him up, and he turned around and bumped into her gaze. The lights poured down, their palms clasped together, and they seemed to be the only connection between each other on this stage.
After the song ended, Li Xi was breathing harder than usual, the chest tightness from the allergies still existed. He lowered his head to hide his discomfort, big beads of sweat slid down his face and hit the floor.
It was time for the members to greet each other. Tang Ruining was the last one to say hello. His greetings were always simple, usually just "Hello everyone, I'm Tang Ruining from To5", and that was it. But today he glanced at the person next to him and said a few more words.
"Hello everyone, I'm Tang Ruining from To5." Tang Ruining didn't put down the microphone even as the screams started. He continued to speak slowly, "I hope everyone can enjoy tonight. In addition to this new song, we have also prepared other old songs."
Tang Ruining turned his head to look at the audience seats on the other side and glanced at Jiang Yilan beside him.
"Well, please look forward to it with us, okay?"
“Okay!!” “Ahhh——”
Tang Ruining put down the microphone and looked at Jiang Yilan. He was no longer panting so hard. He raised the microphone and smiled, "Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Yilan from To5."
The huge screen magnified his face, and in addition to the screams, many people in the audience almost couldn't help but say "Wow..."
"I'm very happy that I can stand here now, and I hope everyone here is happy. Thank you everyone!" He bowed, and the audience became restless again.
After singing a slow song, it was time for the game session, the classic “You Draw, I Guess”. A few fans were randomly picked to come on stage and play together. Li Xi picked a male fan, which was very rare. As soon as he came on stage, he excitedly wanted to hug him and was reluctant to let go after hugging him. Rong Xiao was a part-time host. He patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Hey, let's play first, and then I'll let you hug me after we're done, okay?"
This male fan's drawing is very abstract. At the end of the game, Li Xi's group is the last one and has to accept punishment.
Although he lost the game, the male fan still wanted to hug Jiang Yilan again, and said to him: "Lanlan, I really like you!"
He hugged her too tightly, and being a head shorter than Li Xi, he seemed to be hanging on him. The voice was too close, Li Wei patted his back and whispered, "Thank you."
Li Xi was the only one to bear the punishment, and the fans had already left the stage. The staff brought up a table, placed three cups of black liquid on it, and asked him to choose one to drink. There was one cup of cola that had already died, and the other two cups were extremely bitter herbal teas.
Unable to smell or observe closely, Li Xi quickly chose the cup in the middle and drank it in one gulp. Facing everyone's expectant eyes, he did not show any pain, but smiled mysteriously.
"Hey, you're lucky. Is it Coke?" Rong Xiao asked.
Li Xi exhaled slowly, his expression unchanged, and uttered three words softly: "It's herbal tea."
Everyone laughed in glee, but Yuan Zhiyan didn't believe it, so he picked up the other two cups and smelled them, and found that it was true.
"You are so patient!" Yuan Zhiyan exclaimed.
During the solo medley segment, Jiang Yilan's white suit stunned the fans in the audience again, and the fans in the front row pressed the shutter like crazy, as they all knew that a lot of amazing pictures would be released tonight.
During the interlude, Li Xi picked up the flower basket and scattered the roses inside to the audience, taking care of all directions, and the atmosphere reached its peak again.
The fans’ response was good, Li Xi was happy, and her condition was getting better and better. The last song is the debut song of the first album. It is not easy to become famous with a debut song. The dance of this song is very difficult. Jiang Yilan used to be unable to keep up with the beat and couldn't dance well, not to mention that he only had two lines of lyrics, which he sang while standing still while stopping all movements. His breathing was still uneven and his voice was weak, so he could only rely on padding. But Li Wei completed the task perfectly and even felt that he had performed above average. The final finishing move was to kneel on the ground. When Li Xi knelt down, he suddenly lost his strength, his legs felt a little weak, and his knees landed heavily on the ground. The "thump" was so loud that Tang Ruining, who was beside him, glanced at him sideways, but Li Xi did not feel any pain at this time.
This fan meeting, which was also Li Xi's first time on stage, ended successfully. As soon as he arrived backstage, he relaxed completely, his head felt dizzy, and his steps were a little unsteady.
Rong Xiao came over and helped him up, "Are you okay? Are you feeling well?"
Li Xi smiled at him gratefully, "It's okay, just a little tired."
He didn't tell Li Mo that he was not feeling well. As soon as he got the phone, Li Mo sent him many messages, all of which were full of excited compliments and pictures. He couldn't read through them all.
In the nanny car, Li Wei replied to her sister's message and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
Tang Ruining turned to look at him. The car was dark and some light music was playing. The light, along with the street lights outside the car window, flowed across Jiang Yilan's face. His face was buried in the hood of his sweatshirt, he was sleeping soundly and looked extremely tired.
Tang Ruining looked at Wu Xingye who was sitting in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became frighteningly cold.
