After Cheng Zhi had the experience of being taught by Song Baiyi in the practice room last time, his communication with Song Baiyi in training became more and more frequent.
Even though he could no longer find any problems with his dance moves, he would still wait obediently in the practice room during lunch break or after evening training for Song Baiyi to come and give him guidance on the moves.
On the last day before the performance, the two of them became more and more familiar with each other. Cheng Zhi felt that if they became more familiar with each other, he would be able to pull each other's collars without blushing or getting nervous.
But it seems that we haven’t reached that state yet, Cheng Zhi thought.
The night before the performance, in the large practice room.
"Distracted again?"
Song Baiyi's tone was very gentle, a bit like the feeling of an iceberg melting, and it slowly fell into Cheng Zhi's ears, bringing back his thoughts that had just run away for eight hundred miles.
Being called out in public, Cheng Zhi was a little flustered for a moment. He coughed twice and said, "Ah, no, Mr. Song, please continue..."
"If you are not distracted, please repeat what I just said."
“…”
Cheng Zhi gave up on himself, "Sorry, Teacher Song..."
Song Baiyi nodded, "Be careful next time."
After reminding Cheng Zhi who was distracted, Song Baiyi glanced at all the students standing in front of him.
"The performance will begin tomorrow. Everyone should go back home early tonight to rest and make sure you have enough rest time. Try to be in the best condition for tomorrow's performance."
"Gather here at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning to start preparations. That's all for now. Let's adjourn."
After Song Baiyi finished speaking, the practice room instantly became noisy. Everyone was excited and looking forward to tomorrow's performance with their teammates.
Cheng Zhi and his friends were no exception.
Chen You and Le Zhu rushed over without saying a word, put their arms around Cheng Zhi's shoulders and took him to the dormitory.
"No training tonight. Come back with us and rest early."
Cheng Zhi was suddenly taken away by Chen You and when he reacted, he had been taken out of the practice room.
Cheng Zhi subconsciously turned around and looked towards the place where Song Baiyi had been standing before, wanting to see if he was still there. As soon as he saw a figure, he was blocked by Lu Yinbai and Jiang Shi who caught up from behind.
"Hey, you guys are running pretty fast? You're going back to the dormitory without me, right..." After Lu Yinbai said that, he rubbed Chen You and Le Zhu's heads with one hand.
Le Zhu tried his best to dodge, covering his head while dodging, "Don't touch my head! I won't grow taller!"
Lu Yinbai smiled and asked, "How old are you and still growing taller?"
Le Zhu was furious and punched Lu Yinbai without saying a word, "I'm only 17 years old, I can still grow!!!"
Cheng Zhi and Shen You did not join in their quarrel, but just walked and watched the fun with a smile.
Suddenly, Jiang Shi, who was walking in front, seemed to remember something and turned his head to look at Cheng Zhi.
"Why did you turn around just now? Are you looking for someone?"
When everyone heard Jiang Shi's question, they stopped what they were doing and looked at Cheng Zhi. Even Lu Yinbai and Le Zhu stopped making noise.
Hearing Jiang Shi's question, Cheng Zhi's heart trembled, and he made an excuse: "No... I'll see if you guys have caught up."
“Oh, I see.”
Jiang Shi probably just asked casually, and after hearing Cheng Zhi's answer, he turned around and didn't ask any more questions. Everyone continued to do their own things.
Seeing that no one noticed anything strange about his behavior, Cheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously glanced behind him.
This time I saw nothing, there was no one behind him.
A trace of disappointment inexplicably flashed through Cheng Zhi's heart.
The first performance began at 7 a.m., and the audience entered the venue.
The interviewer, who was dressed exquisitely, was holding the microphone and randomly selecting lucky audience members to ask questions.
[Which team's performance are you most looking forward to this time? 】
"Of course, 'evlove' is the most interesting! The two teams have Huo Shuhang on one side and Cheng Zhi on the other. It's going to be exciting no matter how you think about it!"
"I am also looking forward to "evlove" the most! Because I am a fan of SYI, I really hope that the contestants this time can bring me a brand new stage experience!!!"
"Hmm... probably "React"? I'm looking forward to Ning Meng's performance!"
[Which contestant are you most looking forward to this time? 】
The camera captured a girl with a bun, a light yellow headband, and a white floral dress. As soon as she appeared, the barrage of comments started to fill up.
"We captured a Portuguese girl!"
"So beautiful~Ms. Pu is still as beautiful as ever today."
"Is that Cheng Zhi's support sign that she's holding?"
The girl who was caught on camera put away her phone and smiled at the camera. "Who am I most looking forward to? Well, Cheng Zhi."
After that, she waved the support board with Cheng Zhi's photo printed on it in her hand. She didn't seem to be afraid of the camera at all. She said, "If you haven't voted today on the other side of the camera, can you please open your phone and go to the official website to vote for our talented contestant Cheng Zhi? Please~"
The interview session was not meant to promote the contestants, and when the interviewer saw Xia Jing straying off track, he quickly stopped the conversation.
"Okay, that's the end of the interview with this audience member. Let's move on to the next one..."
The comments were all filled with “HAHAHAHAHAHA.”
"It's so funny. Pu Jie never forgets to advertise Cheng Zhi wherever she goes."
"Producer: Can't I just admit defeat?"
"In the previous interview, Sister Pu also campaigned for Song Baiyi in this way during the interview. Hahahaha, the effect was very good..."
At this time, after leaving the camera, Xia Jing took out his mobile phone and called his sister.
"Hello? Sister, can you take me backstage later? I want Cheng Zhi to sign an autograph for me~"
On the other end of the phone, Tina was a little noisy, but Xia Jing could still hear what she was saying.
After Tina said a few "umms," "OK, OK, OK," "I understand, I understand, and there's no problem," she responded to the call from her sister.
"Just come backstage to find me after the first performance. That's it. I'm busy now. Bye..."
After saying that, Tina hung up the phone and started to busy herself with her own things.
When Xia Jing saw the interface where the call was hung up, he said nothing, put away his phone, took his ticket and went directly to the VIP channel to prepare for entry.
Backstage, the contestants were putting on makeup and preparing in a tense and orderly manner.
When Cheng Zhi came out of the locker room, before he looked in the mirror to confirm whether he was dressed neatly, his ears got the feedback before his eyes.
Teammates sitting at the door of the locker room gave endless praises.
"Oh my god, this dress suits you so well."
"Cheng Zhi, I promise you, if you go out wearing this, you don't even need to dance. Just stand there on the stage like a wooden stake, and our votes will be much higher than our opponents..."
Cheng Zhi didn't take what his teammates said to heart. He smiled and stood in front of the mirror.
Under the light, his hair was slightly curly, which made him look more playful. His facial features were still so handsome that others couldn't take their eyes off him. At the same time, his slightly upturned lips brought a lively feeling to his originally fair skin.
The shirt was designed to be loose, and Cheng Zhi had a small frame, so this shirt made his figure look even slimmer. The white collar was not fully buttoned, revealing a long and slender collarbone, and the slender neck looked beautiful and delicate.
Well...it looks pretty good.
The program crew was very generous this time and arranged a dressing room for each team. After a while, the corresponding makeup artists came to do their makeup.
For Cheng Zhi, it didn't matter whether to put on makeup or not. He sat on the sofa in the dressing room waiting for his teammates to finish putting on makeup. He was ready to lead everyone to rehearse the movements again before going on stage if time permitted.
The makeup artist was very efficient and finished the makeup of four people except Cheng Zhi in less than an hour.
After Cheng Zhi saw that his teammates were all done, he was about to go and smooth things over when Tina suddenly pushed the door open.
She walked towards the sofa while flipping through the information. "Your team will be the last one to perform. The staff will give you guidance. Don't rush to run after the performance. The voting data will be announced on the spot. Both teams need to wait for the results in the small room prepared by the program team. Understand?"
Before she finished speaking, Tina sat on the sofa and opened a brand new glass of mineral water, ready to take a sip before continuing, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Cheng Zhi who was sitting on the sofa.
She asked, "You don't have any makeup on?"
Cheng Zhi naturally took over the conversation, "Well, without makeup..."
Before Cheng Zhi could finish, Tina pulled him up and said, "You are the center position, the camera will be directly on your face, it's okay to put on some light makeup, right?"
As she spoke, Tina pushed the person in front of the makeup mirror and nodded to the makeup artist, "Xiao Zhao, light makeup."
Cheng Zhi thought to himself that he was also bare-faced when he stood in the center position at a concert with 70,000 people. However, due to his current status, he silently shut his mouth and let the makeup artist move his face with a sponge egg.
Seeing Cheng Zhi putting on makeup honestly, Tina nodded with satisfaction, put the information on the dressing table, and continued to talk to everyone about precautions.
Tina was like an old mother sending her child to kindergarten, and every word she said was full of meaning.
Cheng Zhi was a little dazed, and thought that the last time someone told him about precautions when he was putting on makeup was again Song Baiyi.
When Tina had almost finished speaking, Cheng Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Um, Teacher Tina, why didn't Teacher Song come this time?"
When the question was asked, both of them were stunned for a second.
Seeing a flash of panic on Cheng Zhi's face, Tina narrowed her eyes and said, "He's next door. He'll come over when he's free."
"Oh, okay." He nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Tina was secretly happy in her heart, but she still acted calm on the surface, "Why are you asking Teacher Song all of a sudden?"
Cheng Zhi avoided Tina's fiery gaze and said, "No, I was just asking casually..."
After a while, seeing that Cheng Zhi's makeup was almost done, Tina nodded and said, "Yeah, good luck with your performance."
After saying that, she prepared to leave with the information.
The information was right on the table. Tina's eyesight was not very good, and her hands were much faster than her brain. Before she could react, the information was taken away.
This pull just happened to knock over the liquid foundation that the makeup artist had just opened.
Screams and the sound of glass bottles breaking rang in Cheng Zhi's ears at the same time, frightening him so much that he trembled.
The next second, another exclamation was heard.
"Cheng Zhi...you, your clothes..."
Cheng Zhi looked down following Tina's gaze. His originally clean and tidy white shirt was now covered with star-like marks from the liquid foundation that had just fallen to the ground.
Tina hurried over, apologized, and frantically helped Cheng Zhi wipe the marks on his clothes with makeup remover wipes.
"I'm sorry, I really am sorry, I didn't mean it. Let's see if I can clean it first. If not, I will contact the production team immediately to get you a new one..."
This was the first time Cheng Zhi encountered such a situation. He was confused for a while, but then he reacted quickly. He took the wet wipes from Tina's hand and said, "It's okay. I can do it myself."
He wiped it twice with wet wipes but it didn't clean enough, so he borrowed a bottle of makeup remover from the makeup artist, picked up an unopened pack of facial tissues on the table and prepared to leave.
The other teammates were all confused and rushed over to help Cheng Zhi, but they were rejected one by one by him.
Tina wanted to follow with a guilty look on her face, but was stopped by Cheng Zhi's words, "I'm fine, but to be on the safe side, Teacher Tina, you should help me contact the program team to see if I can get a new one."
After saying that, Cheng Zhi walked quickly towards the bathroom.
After Song Baiyi finished telling Huo Shuhang's team about the precautions, he came out of another practice room and met Cheng Zhi who had just come out of his own practice room.
Cheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Hello, Teacher Song...Hello, Teacher Song."
Song Baiyi was about to nod in response to him when she noticed the traces of foundation on his clothes, as well as the makeup remover and facial tissue on his hands.
He frowned and asked Cheng Zhi, "How did it become like this?"
Cheng Zhi curled his fingers slightly, explained, and then said: "Sorry, Teacher Song, I will handle it myself first..."
After saying that, Cheng Zhi prepared to walk to the bathroom.
Seeing Cheng Zhi preparing to run away, Song Baiyi thought for less than two seconds, then grabbed Cheng Zhi's wrist, said, "Follow me," and then walked towards the other direction of the bathroom without looking back.
Cheng Zhi was also a little confused. He didn't understand what Song Baiyi meant. He just felt that the skin on his wrist where he was holding was a little hot.
Finally, Song Baiyi and Cheng Zhi stopped at the door of his lounge.
Before Cheng Zhi could speak, Song Baiyi pulled him in without saying a word.
Only after pulling him to the living room did Song Baiyi let go of the person and strode to the inside of the room.
Cheng Zhi bent down and put the things in his hand on the coffee table. He didn't pay any attention to the decoration in the room. Instead, he lowered his head and used his other hand to hold the wrist that Song Baiyi had just held.
I don’t know if it’s because the indoor temperature is a little high, but Cheng Zhi seems to be able to feel the temperature on his wrist. Song Baiyi’s body temperature is burning from his wrist to his ears.
Cheng Zhi gestured a little. Song Baiyi's hands were very big. When he held his wrist, he felt that he couldn't break free, but he also felt very safe.
He really wanted to try it out, what would it feel like if he held it...
The not-so-serious thought had not lasted long before it was interrupted by Song Baiyi.
"Try this. I bought this and wore it once because the size didn't fit. It's similar to the style of the costumes you wear in your performance."
Cheng Zhi looked in the direction of Song Baiyi's voice, and finally his eyes fell on the white shirt in his hand.
He was a little surprised, "Teacher Song, you want to lend me your clothes?"
"Well, change now." After saying that, Song Baiyi stuffed the clothes into Cheng Zhi's arms, then turned away silently.
Seeing Song Baiyi's actions and the fact that time was running out, Cheng Zhi didn't think about it anymore. He unbuttoned his shirt and changed into the clothes Song Baiyi gave him.
When he had almost finished buttoning his clothes, Cheng Zhi felt embarrassed to keep Song Baiyi turned around for too long, so he said that he could turn back.
When Song Baiyi turned around, Cheng Zhi was buttoning his shirt.
This dress is a bit too big for Cheng Zhi, because the buttons are not buttoned properly, from this angle, a large area of delicate white skin is exposed, the boy has a very slender figure, although thin but can not help but smooth muscle texture, he lowered his head and buttoned carefully. The curve of Cheng Zhi's neck became clearer with his movements.
After a while, Cheng Zhi looked up at Song Baiyi. His eyes were clear and his gaze was particularly kind. Perhaps because he had just walked too fast, his face had a slight blush, which made him look much healthier.
Cheng Zhi opened his lips slightly, pulling the small mole beside his mouth more and more animatedly, "Teacher Song, is there a mirror here that can be used to take a look for me?"
Seeing Cheng Zhi like this, Song Baiyi's throat tightened and he hummed.
"No need to take a photo, it looks great."
Hearing Song Baiyi say this, Cheng Zhi gave up the idea of looking in the mirror and nodded to express his gratitude.
"I'll wash it and give it back to you, Teacher Song, after the performance."
After saying that, Cheng Zhi looked at his watch. It was almost time to go backstage to prepare. He picked up the things he had just placed on the coffee table and was about to run back when he was suddenly stopped by Song Baiyi.
"I wish you a successful performance, and I have something for you."
Cheng Zhi took the thing Song Baiyi handed over and took a look at it. It was a Polaroid-sized photo taken when Song Baiyi was performing on stage. The man on the stage was wearing a white shirt, and the light shone on his face, making his facial features look even better.
Cheng Zhi was a little confused, "This is..."
Song Baiyi explained: "A set photo of 'evlove'."
Cheng Zhi exclaimed, not understanding what Song Baiyi meant for a moment.
"Didn't you say that?"
Cheng Zhi frowned slightly, "What did I say...?"
"My photo is your good luck charm."
