Chapter 25 (Starting from the reverse V)



Cheng Zhi, who had just said he was fine, immediately flipped out, and replied to Song Baiyi with a look of death, "I'm really fine..."

After saying that, Cheng Zhi pushed away Chen You who wanted to help him.

Seeing that Cheng Zhi was still stubborn, Chen You stopped trying to support him and instead gently poked the swollen area on Cheng Zhi's ankle.

Cheng Zhi, who was suddenly poked in the sore spot, shuddered, took a breath and removed Chen You's fingers from his ankle, "Be gentle, it hurts."

Song Baiyi, who had watched the whole process silently, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you really not going to the infirmary?"

“…”

Cheng Zhi and Song Baiyi looked at each other for a while, then Cheng Zhi looked away and said in self-abandonment.

"Chen You, please help me to the infirmary."

The doctor looked at Cheng Zhi's ankle, which was swollen like a steamed bun, and said, "I didn't expect the situation to be much better than I thought."

Chen You said in disbelief: "It's already so swollen, what's the point of it being good?"

The doctor coughed twice, the light reflected from his glasses, and he said with a grim look, "He dared to do strenuous exercise after falling like that. It's a minor injury if he didn't break any bones."

"I've already told you, it's just dancing, not strenuous exercise." After saying that, Cheng Zhi shrank back guiltily.

Song Baiyi, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly said, "You should take good care of yourself first. We will give you two days of rest after the theme song shooting is over."

The recent life has been a bit hallucinogenic, causing Cheng Zhi to be a bit dazed. He hummed in a daze and did not resist anymore.

Cheng Zhi let the doctor work on his injury, looking at his ankle which was swollen like a steamed bun, and began to daydream.

After the doctor finished the operation, Cheng Zhi came to his senses and found that Song Baiyi had left.

Cheng Zhi tilted his head and asked, "Youzi, where is Teacher Song?"

"Just said he had something else to do so he left first."

Cheng Zhi hummed and helped Shen You out of the infirmary.

On the way back, Shen You asked Cheng Zhi cautiously.

"Is there someone helping Xia Yu behind the scenes?"

Cheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Chen You, "Why do you ask?"

Chen You continued, "This incident is quite serious. After you got into trouble, the director team and others were in a mess, but the investors have been suppressing the news and don't want the audience to know about it. They also don't allow the instructors to be held accountable."

"We only found the blueprints inside Xia Yu's clothes, but it's impossible for him to bypass so many security guards and construction workers with just two pieces of paper, so I think it's very strange."

Chen You looked around and made sure that no one was around before lowering her voice and continuing, "When I went to see my instructor just now, I heard them say that the lift seemed to have been tampered with during its construction, and a device that was not conducive to the balance of the lift was installed. Xia Yu was just used as a pusher for that device."

After hearing what Shen You said, Cheng Zhi was a little surprised, "Why are you so smart all of a sudden?"

Chen You hummed, "I thought of it when I connected everything I know."

Cheng Zhi asked back: "Then who do you think is helping him behind the scenes?"

Chen You's eyes rolled around, and after a while, he said the man's name, "Fang Qiao? I think he has been trying to make trouble for you, but even if it is him, how did he do it?"

Cheng Zhi rubbed Shen You's head, "Xia Yu just admitted that it was Fang Qiao who threatened him."

"Ah..." Chen You began to be confused, "Then why can Fang Qiao..."

Cheng Zhi lowered his eyes and had a rough answer in his mind.

Two accidents occurred during the theme song shooting, one during the re-rating video recording and one during the lift platform problem. On the surface, it seemed that Xia Yu was the only one who was causing trouble, but Fang Qiao was helping behind the scenes.

As for why Fang Qiao had so many opportunities for Xia Yu to take advantage of, Cheng Zhi could only think of one reason.

That is, Lin Jiahuai has been secretly helping Fang Qiao.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhi felt a little sick and felt that the methods used by the two of them were too despicable.

The original owner's strength was not good, and his popularity was not enough to support him through the first round of voting, so the other party, Qiao Ke, could not pose any threat.

But it’s different now. Cheng Zhi has used his outstanding abilities to make Fang Qiao feel a sense of crisis many times, so he will stop at nothing to trip him up and remove this thorn in his side.

Although he knew who did it, Cheng Zhi still didn't want to implicate Chen You. He sighed and said vaguely, "Maybe Fang Qiao is the one who is involved."

Chen You bit her lower lip and looked at Cheng Zhi with eyes full of heartache, "You haven't offended Fang Qiao, why does he always come to trouble you?"

"Well...I'm not sure about this either."

Maybe he's just free, Cheng Zhi thought.

The theme song video is still being edited, and the program team has given the trainees two days to rest.

At this time, Cheng Zhi was lying in bed nursing his injured leg. Due to the closed training, all electronic products such as mobile phones were collected by the program crew before filming.

Many contestants will prepare many mobile phones in advance, hoping that they will be the ones who slip through the net.

As a person who came here suddenly, Cheng Zhi didn't know where the original owner was even if he had hidden the phone.

I've been lying in bed all day long during this period of time, and I'm so bored that I'm about to grow mushrooms.

"Yuzu." Cheng Zhi lowered his voice and asked carefully, "Can you lend me your phone to take a look?"

Chen You took off the Bluetooth headset that was playing a song, turned around and looked at the pitiful Cheng Zhi, "It's possible, but the signal here is very poor, and the program team seems to have added a jammer, so it should be very stuck."

"It's okay." Cheng Zhi shook his head and took the phone from Shen You's hand as if it were a treasure.

The operating interface of the mobile phone here is similar to Cheng Zhi’s original mobile phone, but probably because Shen You wanted to hide it more conveniently, this phone is very small, only slightly larger than half of Cheng Zhi’s palm.

Cheng Zhi squinted his eyes, trying to adapt to the fatigue caused by the small screen.

Without saying a word, he opened Weibo and clicked on the program’s super topic.

The signal was just as Shen You said, a bit bad. The interface kept going in circles. Cheng Zhi was quite patient and chatted with Shen You while waiting for it to load.

“When did our voting access start?”

Chen You played with the headphones in her hand, looked up at Cheng Zhi and replied, "It started during the first stage. Teacher Song said it when the show was just being recorded. Didn't you listen carefully?"

Cheng Zhi uttered an ah and said vaguely: "My memory is not good."

"I suggest you don't look at the voting rankings. They will change before the first round of eliminations, and it will affect your mentality if you look at them."

"Yeah, okay." Cheng Zhi agreed verbally, and the next second, the interface of the program's super topic jumped into his eyes, and the first Weibo post led directly to the voting link.

Then, Cheng Zhi immediately ignored what Chen You said and clicked in without saying a word.

This time the interface was not stuck due to the signal. In less than a second, Cheng Zhi saw the voting interface.

No. 1, Huo Shuhang.

Behind them were a few faces that Cheng Zhi was not familiar with.

Cheng Zhi continued to scroll down and saw his name in the following lines.

No. 17, Cheng Zhi.

"......"

Cheng Zhi suddenly felt that what Chen You said was right.

He wanted to go back a minute and chop off his hand that had just clicked on the voting link.

Following the principle of out of sight, out of mind, Cheng Zhi closed the voting interface and went out to check other comments left by fans.

Most of them were discussing other contestants. Cheng Zhi also saw a few comments questioning his ability, but the rest were relatively friendly.

The most common comments expressed anticipation for the program’s theme song and subsequent stage performances.

Cheng Zhi was scrolling and felt a little bored. Just when he was about to close the app and return the phone to Chen You, he saw such an account name.

User: When will Teacher Song officially announce it to me?

Cheng Zhi frowned slightly. He was not interested in Song Baiyi’s girlfriend fans, but when he saw the topic in front of the comments, he was stunned for two seconds.

#Song teacher's glasses are so weird

His fingers moved before his brain did, and the next second, Cheng Zhi clicked on the topic.

Click on it and you will see the official Weibo post from the program team.

"If you are tired of watching the show, come and see our hard-working teacher Song~ Please vote for our contestants! Voting link..."

The accompanying pictures are two photos of Song Baiyi.

In the first photo, Song Baiyi is wearing a white shirt, and the sun shines through the blinds onto his face, outlining the contours of his face. On his nose is a pair of silver-framed glasses, which are a bit dazzling under the reflection of the sun. But his expressionless face gives people a feeling of coldness and alienation.

One hand was placed on the table, casually holding a pen, with slender fingers and distinct joints, and the protruding joints at the wrist were also very beautiful.

In the second picture, Song Baiyi tilted his head to look at the camera, pushing his glasses with the index finger of one hand. Because of the obstruction of his hand, there was a shadow under his eyes, and his eyebrows were soft under the silver-framed glasses. He slightly bent the corners of his mouth towards the camera. Compared with the previous photo, it was like an iceberg melting slightly, and there was a warm feeling.

From this angle, it’s hard to tell whether it was a candid shot or a posed one, but I feel that it’s more likely to be a candid shot.

The comment section was filled with cries of approval.

"Ahhh, Teacher Song smiled at me! He has me in his heart!!!"

"Can you please arrange some more glasses? They look nice, nice, nice!"

Cheng Zhi stared at the screen of his phone in a daze, and suddenly, as if possessed, he wanted to press and hold the picture to save it.

Just when he was about to press it, Chen You suddenly asked, "Is there someone knocking on the door outside?"

Cheng Zhi was stunned by Chen You's interruption and didn't move. Then he realized that this was not his own phone and he was instantly scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

He replied vaguely: "It seems so, go and have a look."

After saying that, Cheng Zhi quickly quit Weibo, turned off his phone and stuffed it into his quilt.

Chen You got up to open the door. Cheng Zhi pinched himself while sitting on the bed. The pain from his thigh made his confused mind a little clearer.

Tsk, I'm not obsessed by any ghost. I must be obsessed with Teacher Song's beauty, which is why I went crazy and wanted to save the picture.

The door of the dormitory was opened by Chen You, and Cheng Zhi heard someone outside ask, "Hello, is contestant Cheng Zhi here? Professor Song wants you to go to the conference room and has something to ask you."

Hearing this, Cheng Zhi, who was wrapped in the quilt, trembled.

What does it feel like to be called in for questioning by Teacher Song just after you have developed evil thoughts about her beauty?

Cheng Zhi: I don’t know. I suddenly felt that the quilt was too thin and a little cold. Otherwise, why would I keep shaking?

"Do you need me to help you over there?" The staff member looked at Cheng Zhi's ankle with concern.

Cheng Zhi shook his head, adjusted his ankle, and followed the staff towards the meeting room.

I went to the infirmary for a check-up this morning. Now Cheng Zhi has no problem running and jumping and other basic activities. He just needs to avoid strenuous exercise and get enough rest when practicing dancing.

"I want to ask..." Cheng Zhi followed the staff for a while before speaking slowly, "Why did Teacher Song suddenly ask me to come over?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not sure about that."

After hearing this, Cheng Zhi did not ask any further questions and obediently followed the staff towards the meeting room.

"This is it, just push the door and go in." The staff member took Cheng Zhi to the door of a room, put him down and left.

Cheng Zhi looked at the staff member's back as he left and walked around the door twice, not knowing whether he should go in now.

He didn't know whether it was because Teacher Song suddenly called him over, or because he almost accidentally saved Teacher Song's picture on Shen You's phone. Looking at the door in front of him, thinking that Teacher Song was inside, he inexplicably felt a little nervous.

Cheng Zhi took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Song Baiyi's deep and pleasant voice came from inside.

Cheng Zhi pressed the door handle and pushed open the door. It was the same scene as in the photo. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the blinds onto Song Baiyi's white shirt, adding a sense of intimacy to Song Baiyi, who originally looked cold on the outside.

Cheng Zhi's eyelashes trembled, and he avoided looking directly at Song Baiyi's face, "Hello, Teacher Song."

When Song Baiyi heard the voice, he pushed up his glasses and said softly without looking at Cheng Zhi, "Sit down."

Cheng Zhi happened to sit face to face with Song Baiyi.

He lowered his eyes and noticed Song Baiyi's hand on the table. The sunlight shone on his hand, drawing smooth and clean lines. His skin was very white, but not the bloodless white. It looked very soft. Cheng Zhi couldn't help but be attracted by his hand.

When he came back to his senses, Cheng Zhicai spoke up, "What did Teacher Song suddenly want to talk to me about?"

Song Baiyi put down the pen in his hand, looked at Cheng Zhi's ankle, and said, "Is the injury better?"

"Well, much better. Thank you Teacher Song for your concern." Cheng Zhi was wondering, Teacher Song should not have called him to the conference room just to understand his injury. Just when he was wondering, he heard Song Baiyi say.

"It's normal that he heals quickly. After all, the injury is not serious. If the injury was serious, he wouldn't have beaten Xia Yu backstage after the performance."

Cheng Zhi: "Teacher Song, you... saw everything?"

Song Baiyi turned the pen in his hand and chuckled, "I have never met someone who kowtowed and apologized to me in my life?"

Cheng Zhi's mouth twitched, and he laughed: "I didn't expect this surveillance camera has a recording function..."

"Well, I didn't expect you to be so fierce."
