After hearing Chen You's question, Cheng Zhi lowered his eyes and avoided Chen You's gaze.
Unconsciously, his hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly.
The relationship between him and Song Baiyi should be more than just that of student and mentor?
In fact, Cheng Zhi did not deliberately make a clear distinction between him and Song Baiyi.
Maybe it was because he had the ability, so he didn't have a big psychological burden when he first got along with Song Baiyi.
Although they are mentor and student, Cheng Zhi feels that the two are more like good friends who can communicate with each other on an equal footing.
Song Baiyi would point out the imperfections in his dancing and give suggestions, and Cheng Zhi would then correct his movements based on these suggestions.
Similarly, Cheng Zhi would also put forward his own views and ideas on dance, and then discuss them with Song Baiyi.
But if we put aside the training, what is the relationship between him and Song Baiyi?
Are they friends? Or is it just a casual exchange during the show?
Cheng Zhi deleted the last option in one swoop.
But...if the two of them were just ordinary friends.
Why did he feel his heartbeat speed up involuntarily when Song Baiyi got close to him?
She would even chase after Song Baiyi when he had already left, just to see him under the pretext of giving him candy.
Cheng Zhi knew very well that this would never happen between ordinary friends.
He would not subconsciously want to get close to Shen You, nor would he be fascinated by the smell of Shen You, nor would he find countless excuses to see Huo Shuhang.
And the only one who could make him do this was Song Baiyi.
When Song Baiyi approached him, Cheng Zhihui became obsessed with the scent of Song Baiyi like a crazy person.
When Song Baiyi hugged him, Cheng Zhihui wanted to get closer to the only piece of driftwood beside him like a drowning man.
Only children want to eat candy every day.
Cheng Zhi just wanted to find a few more excuses to see Song Baiyi more often.
Maybe he could put it another way.
Song Baiyi is the most precious and sweetest candy he has ever encountered since he came to this world.
If that's the case, Cheng Zhi is willing to be that stupid kid who goes around in circles to find eight hundred excuses a day, and climbs over mountains and rivers without fear of danger, just to get a candy named "Song Baiyi".
Cheng Zhi could also compare Song Baiyi to the moon and the clear spring.
But Cheng Zhi knew very well that no matter how clean and bright the moon was, it was not half as beautiful as Song Boyi's eyes and eyebrows; no matter how clear and sweet the spring water was, it was not half as moving as Song Boyi's voice.
At this point, Cheng Zhi finally found an accurate answer to the puzzlement about the source of all his emotions.
Cheng didn't know how Song Baiyi viewed the relationship between them.
But now, Cheng Zhi is very clear. His feelings for Song Baiyi are far more than just ordinary friends.
Song Baiyi is like a bright moon that can illuminate him in the darkness, like a clear spring that can nourish him when he is thirsty, and her existence is something he enjoys.
It's the person he likes.
"Cheng Zhi?"
Chen You was sitting on the other side of the table, biting her chopsticks and looking at Cheng Zhi with an absent-minded look.
Then he paused and continued to ask Cheng Zhi.
"Were you listening to me just now?"
Cheng Zhi's thoughts were interrupted by Chen You. He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the disposable chopsticks in his hand were about to be bent by him.
He came back to his senses from his previous thoughts, and after adjusting his emotions and expressions, he spoke to Chen You opposite him.
"Oh, of course... yes."
Seeing that Cheng Zhi didn't look like he was in the right state, Shen You sighed silently, and vaguely had an answer in her heart.
He shook his head.
"It's okay. It's okay if you don't want to answer my questions now. Let's eat first."
After saying that, Shen You lowered her head and started picking up food, as if she didn't care at all about the question she had just raised.
After seeing Chen You's actions, Cheng Zhi also lowered his head and started eating. Neither of them spoke.
There was silence at the dinner table. Halfway through the meal, Cheng Zhi hesitated and spoke to Shen You.
"Regarding the relationship between me and Teacher Song... it seems that we are still in the relationship of mentor and student."
"But the show is still going on, and everything about this matter will change. When the time is right, I will make it clear to you."
Cheng Zhi actually didn't want to hide it from Chen You.
As Chen You was the first person to show kindness to him in this show, Cheng Zhi was very willing to be friends with him.
If possible, Cheng Zhi would like to be good friends with Shen You for life.
But many things are uncertain now. If they rashly tell him the whole picture, and then encounter unexpected situations, how should they deal with it?
Taking various factors into consideration, Cheng Zhi decided to wait until everything was settled.
After hearing Cheng Zhi's words, Chen You just nodded slightly and then said "hmm".
"I respect all your choices. It's okay for you to tell me when you feel it's appropriate."
The afternoon shooting continued. Cheng Zhi and Shen You entered the studio one after another and found their own seats.
After everyone quieted down, teacher Tina walked in with a smile on her face and some information.
"Good afternoon everyone. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. It's already our third stage."
"Now, I will announce to you what process you need to complete on this stage."
Tina was introducing the event, while the contestants were discussing it in low voices below.
"Why is it Teacher Tina this time? Wasn't Teacher Song the one who attended this session in the past?"
"Yeah, is it possible that Teacher Song has something to do so he asked Teacher Tina to take over?"
Cheng Zhi listened to them chattering around him and asking the questions in his mind. He didn't say anything, but just wondered in his heart where Song Baiyi was now.
Is it really like what the other contestants just said, that they were busy and that’s why they asked Tina to take their place?
Then Tina suddenly interrupted.
"Don't be absent-minded. I heard everything you just said clearly up there."
Tina's face suddenly turned cold.
"It doesn't matter who makes the announcement. Teacher Song has other plans. So you don't need to speculate too much. You will know in a moment."
After saying that, Tina coughed twice.
Then he clapped his hands and spoke.
"The third stage design is to divide all 35 of you into 5 groups according to your final debut configuration, with 7 people in each group. The final vote is for the audience to choose the group with the most potential to debut among your 5 groups."
"And each person in the winning group will receive 1 million tickets provided by the program team."
As soon as this rule was announced, the other contestants started discussing it.
…
Tina waited until everyone was quiet before continuing.
"This time, we specially found five popular music producers today to produce five songs for you, including producers who wrote songs for popular groups such as SYI, new-dream, and yellow."
"The five of them are Tao Lian, Ene, Dai Sui, Fu Chun, and Lu Zhaozhao."
"All five songs have been produced, and what you have to do now is to choose the songs by listening to the first minute of the songs."
“It’s similar to opening a blind box.”
"Then we will select songs according to the ranking of the last vote. Starting with Cheng Zhi, go out of the studio one by one. Under the guidance of the staff, push open the door of the corresponding song room, which means you have chosen this song."
"As soon as the room is full of seven contestants, it will be closed. The corresponding musicians and instructors will communicate with you."
After that, Tina smiled at everyone and said, "Among these five people, there are more or less musicians that everyone likes, so it can't be said that they are all blind."
The next second, before anyone could react, Tina snapped her fingers.
At the same time, the big screen behind her lit up and began to play the song "tomorrow" by the first musician, Tao Lian.
The rhythm is brisk and bright, a bit like a group of people running freely on the beach as the sun has just risen, full of youthfulness.
It sounds nice, but it’s not the type that Cheng Zhihui would like.
The second song is "Delusion" by ene
It is a completely opposite style to the previous song, with a fast overall rhythm and a low-pitched style. And the first paragraph directly cuts into the lyrics, leaving no buffer time at all.
Cheng Zhi resolutely chose to wait for the next song.
…
By the penultimate song, Cheng Zhi still hadn't found a song that he liked and thought was suitable, so he could only pin his last hope on the last song.
It’s Lu Zhaozhao’s “fascination”.
The beginning is a soothing and clean piano sound, with a strong sense of artistic conception.
It instantly draws you into a forest that has just rained, just like stepping into moist soil, and you can smell the fresh scent of grass and trees, so gentle and natural.
The overall tone is quiet and the atmosphere is strong.
It is like the only shade in the hot summer, or like the cool breeze blowing on a hot and windless night.
At the climax of the song, the opening lyrics are:
"I would be fascinated by everything good in the world, including you."
After this, the style of the previous part of the song is retained, while some more passionate emotions are added.
If the first half of "Fascination" is about the implicit love of a lovesick person for his sweetheart, then the second half is about his passionate and vivid fascination with everything about his sweetheart.
It allows love to see the light of day and also makes obsession traceable.
"I say, Song Baiyi, are you a little girl? Why do you, a grown man, tie a bow on your hand?"
Lu Zhaozhao was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed and a lollipop in his mouth. He tilted his head to look at Song Baiyi who was sitting next to him, and when he saw the bow in Song Baiyi's hand, he exclaimed in surprise that he had never seen the world before.
Song Baiyi didn't look at him, but focused his eyes on the door of the practice room, waiting for the first contestant to push the door in.
Then he casually replied to Lu Zhaozhao.
"There was a kid who liked it, so he tied it up."
Lu Zhaozhao clicked his tongue twice, crushed the candy in his mouth, and threw the plastic stick into the trash can, jokingly saying so.
"What kind of person can let you tie a bow and not take it off? It's really rare~"
Song Baiyi didn't say anything, and Lu Zhaozhao continued with a smile: "I wonder if he will choose "Fascination". I'm really looking forward to it."
The next second, the door of the practice room was pushed open.
Cheng Zhi pushed open the door of the practice room represented by the song "Fascination".
After seeing the first trainee come in, Lu Zhaozhao walked over and said to Cheng Zhi with a giggle: "Ah, welcome, welcome!"
Cheng Zhi nodded politely in response, "Hello."
The next second, Cheng Zhi saw Song Baiyi, the instructor of "Fascination", standing behind Lu Zhaozhao and smiling at him.
Cheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, then curled his eyes at Song Baiyi.
"Hello, Teacher Song."
Lu Zhaozhao quickly sensed the unusual atmosphere between the two of them, and after seeing the same bow tie on Cheng Zhi's hand as Song Baiyi's, Lu Zhaozhao quickly understood everything.
Then, regardless of the fact that Cheng Zhi was still present, Lu Zhaozhao took a step back and moved closer to Song Baiyi.
Then he nudged Song Baiyi with his elbow and signaled him with his eyes and whispered.
"Hey, this is your child? He looks pretty well behaved..."

The author has something to say:
fascination
"I would be fascinated by everything good in the world, including you."
"I will be fascinated by all the good things in this world, including you."
The song title is made up, and the lyrics were rolled out on the keyboard. Any similarities are mine.
