"I'm not saying you guys should just stop now, this is a talent show, not charity. You're asking us to use the results of our years of practice to play with you."
No sooner had Jin He left than Wen Lian couldn't help but speak up: "I'm really fed up. You cry when I don't let you go on stage. What's there to cry about? If this stage isn't done well, I don't need to worry, and Song Bai doesn't need to worry either. Most of you will be leaving."
Song Bai nodded in agreement: "That's right. Anyway, Wen Lian and I don't need to worry about being eliminated. You guys should think it over carefully. If you really insist on going your own way, it won't cause us any loss. We still have another stage, but it's really uncertain whether you'll have another stage."
Qi Yunran kept his head down and remained silent. Then, Jin He pushed open the door and walked back, expressionless and as usual.
"Brother Xiaohe, you're back!"
Lin Nian followed behind Jin He, closing the door behind her, and asked, "How did your discussion go?"
Wen Lian shook his head and said, "We haven't reached a conclusion yet."
"Okay, Xiao He, go get a chair and sit down, don't sit on the floor." Lin Nian bent down and sat next to Wen Lian. "Alright, then I, as the dance teacher, will also come and check on your group's part-time arrangements. I hope An Yi won't mind."
"Teacher Lin, Teacher Lin, please have a seat." Song Bai looked at Lin Nian expectantly and diligently patted the area around him clean. "We really welcome you!"
"Okay, that's good." Lin Nian looked at Qi Yunran, who was still silent, with gentle eyes and said, "Actually, Yunran, you don't need to worry too much. Taking your part away is not because you're not good enough, but for the sake of our group's coordination. The fact that you can stay here already shows that your skills are quite good."
Qi Yunran nodded.
“I can really understand how you feel right now, because I was just as anxious when I first joined the debut group.” Lin Nian slowly introduced her experience. “I started training at the company when I was eleven and joined the debut group when I was twenty. At that time, the company’s plan was for the five-member Aurora group. An Yi was already confirmed to be on the debut list, so there were only four debut spots left.”
“But there are twenty people in the debut class.” Lin Nian’s gaze fell on Wen Lian, and she added, “Let me put it this way, each of them is comparable to Wen Lian on their own.”
He's even more powerful than Wen Lian.
"The odds of getting from five to one were very slim. The pressure was immense back then. Everyone was fiercely competitive and no one was willing to concede to anyone else. To put it simply, the floor in our company's practice room was newly replaced that year, and we wore it down to white within a month," Lin Nian said. "It was under such intense competition that four people were selected, and that's how we debuted."
“Although the remaining sixteen didn’t debut, they later achieved great success.” Lin Nian gestured with her hands, “Like our current rap teacher Fang Canyang, or NEGo’s captain Cheng Che and Min Wenyu…”
"So you don't need to be so anxious about being eliminated. You can just enjoy the process of learning and improving. Anyway, you'll debut sooner or later if you're going to. "But if you have bad intentions and do some underhanded things that get recorded on the internet, then it'll really be a loss." Lin Nian added with a smile.
Qi Yunran: "..."
“Alright, let’s get back to the main topic and redistribute the parts.” Lin Nian reached out and took the lyric book from Jin He’s hand. “Let me see. An Yi recommended Wen Lian to sing the intro, right? That’s really quite suitable… Qi Yunran, your voice is quite deep, which is more suitable for the ending line, what do you think…”
First, she would offer empty platitudes, then casually issue a warning when others lowered their guard. This was Lin Nian's consistent style of speaking, and Jin He had long been used to it. However, these little idiots might not be used to it yet, and subconsciously followed Lin Nian's lead, agreeing with whatever she said.
Now, in their eyes, this is a gentle god who is bathed in golden light.
Jin He crossed his arms and leaned back on the stool, quietly watching Lin Nian. A few years ago, it was him who had been pinched on the ear like this. Back in the team, he always felt that the team members and the captain were all the same age, so there was no sense of distance in what they said or did. But now, seeing this captain being surrounded by everyone, addressed as "teacher" this and "teacher" that, he suddenly realized:
Everyone has gone far away.
Friends and lovers who once stood shoulder to shoulder with me have all gone far away.
Jin He couldn't quite describe his feelings. While Lin Nian and the students were discussing amongst themselves, he quietly slipped out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw An Yi lying furtively at the entrance. Startled by the sudden interruption, An Yi almost fell through the doorway. He quickly regained his balance and met Jin He's gaze.
"You..." An Yi looked at Jin He's expression and asked cautiously, "Are you in a bad mood?"
I probably won't get scolded.
Jin He: "..."
Lin Nian and the students: "..."
Jin He was speechless: "Teacher An, what are you doing?"
"Oh, cough cough." An Yi stood up instantly, patted off non-existent dust and wrinkles on his clothes, and walked in with his head held high. "I'm still a little worried about your group, so I came to check in myself. Have the parts been reassigned?"
Actually, the staff had just told him that Jin He had been feeling sad and Lin Nian had taken him away to calm him down. He was really worried that Jin He might feel unwell in such an emotional state.
Based on his understanding of Jin He, these little kids were no match for him at all. They were cunning from a young age, and the fact that he was made to cry by these children was probably an act. However, he didn't dare to gamble on that one in ten thousand probability, so he could only sneak a peek.
It turned out that Jin He was probably in a really bad mood.
As far as he knew, Jin He was always smiling, especially under so many cameras, so he had to maintain his expression perfectly, but now the corners of his mouth were all stretched out.
He's definitely not happy.
I don't know who provoked him.
“Let me take a look at the lyrics too.” An Yi moved closer to Lin Nian. Although his eyes were fixed on the lyrics book, his gaze kept drifting towards Jin He. He seemed absent-minded, which left Lin Nian speechless.
That brat!
An Yi had wanted to connect to Jin He's fitness tracker for a long time. He had observed that Jin He's fitness tracker was constantly monitoring his heart rate and sleep patterns, and it could also connect to his phone. He had been planning to do this for a long time.
But he dared not mention it now, since Jin He no longer liked him.
