Cheng Zhi has been in a good mood recently.
Specifically, he would often go to the practice room to train while humming a song and jumping around.
And when eating, he would suddenly let out a few weird, silly laughs.
And when washing my face in front of the mirror, the corners of my mouth would uncontrollably turn upwards.
Just when Shen You saw Cheng Zhi walking on the road for the seventh time today and suddenly jumped up with a few silly laughs, he finally couldn't help but ask Cheng Zhi.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so happy lately?"
Cheng Zhi responded to the voice, turned around and looked at Chen You, slightly restraining the smile on his face.
"Nothing, I'm just excited to go on stage and perform."
Chen You: “…”
"I've never seen you so excited before." As she said that, Chen You pulled the corner of her mouth and looked at Cheng Zhi with doubts in her eyes.
Cheng Zhi chuckled twice and continued to make excuses: "Maybe it's because I'm about to go out for a performance and I can breathe the fresh air outside..."
Tomorrow is the day for the third performance. This time the performance stage is set up somewhere else outdoors, and 35 contestants need to take a car to go there to perform.
The entire performance will be broadcast live, and the voting process will start simultaneously online and offline.
Everyone has been locked up in the training camp for a while, and everyone is feeling bored, so many players are quite excited.
Because the venue is open, there will be a lot of fans coming to cheer, and it will be a lively scene.
And seven people, including Chen You and Cheng Zhi, will perform "Fascination" on this stage.
"That's true." Chen You nodded. She was able to accept Cheng Zhi's reason and didn't ask him any more questions.
By the time Cheng Zhi and Shen You returned to the practice room, Lu Zhaozhao had already explained to everyone in advance what they should pay attention to during tomorrow's performance.
"Because this is a different situation than before, it's normal for you to feel nervous..."
Cheng Zhi was sitting below, but he couldn't quite take in what Lu Zhaozhao said.
One reason is that he has performed on countless stages, big and small, so he is very calm now and doesn't feel nervous at all.
Another reason is that whenever he sees Lu Zhaozhao's face, he can recall the time when he was in the practice room. He was surprised that Lu Zhaozhao and Song Baiyi had some abnormal relationship, and he felt uncomfortable for a long time.
In the end, it was discovered that it was all a misunderstanding, which caused Cheng Zhi to feel embarrassed as if his toes wanted to dig into the ground whenever he saw Lu Zhaozhao.
Fortunately, after Lu Zhaozhao's singing instruction ended, Song Baiyi's dance instruction course followed, so Cheng Zhi didn't see Lu Zhaozhao much after that.
But he didn't expect that he would see Lu Zhaozhao on the last day before the performance.
According to past experience, isn't it usually Song Baiyi who tells them about these kinds of precautions?
From the end of the dance instruction at 11 o'clock last night to the comprehensive training at 9 o'clock this morning, Cheng Zhi hasn't seen Song Baiyi for almost ten hours.
He was a little unhappy.
The next second, Lu Zhaozhao, who was sitting above, seemed to be able to see through his heart, and spoke to everyone with a smile.
"Your teacher Song is busy in a meeting today, so I'll be the one teaching you. If you want to see him, you'll definitely be able to see him tomorrow."
Cheng Zhi was startled, and then his eyes met Lu Zhaozhao's.
There was an indescribable ambiguity and suggestion in Lu Zhaozhao's eyes, which made Cheng Zhi feel a little uneasy.
"Well, I'll stop here for the precautions. You can continue training for the rest of the time. Good luck to everyone in the performance tomorrow. I'll be there then."
After saying that, Lu Zhaozhao signaled everyone that they could go for free training.
After smiling at Cheng Zhi, Lu Zhaozhao left the practice room.
Cheng Zhi then breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Chen You to continue training.
When performing the song "Fascination", there was not much emphasis on dance choreography. This song tested the contestants' singing and expressiveness more.
There aren't many dance moves, most of them just involve taking a few steps while holding the microphone.
So the overall training intensity was not very high, but Cheng Zhi still worked diligently to do his best and trained with Shen You until very late.
Every once in a while, Cheng Zhi would move his gaze from the lyrics paper to the door of the practice room, looking forward to the appearance of that familiar figure.
Unfortunately, he waited from nine in the morning to eleven at night, but Song Baiyi never showed up.
In the end, the day's training ended in Cheng Zhi's disappointment.
Six o'clock the next morning.
The contestants, each carrying their own small backpack, lined up in front of the bus like elementary school students preparing to go on a spring outing.
The program team arranged five cars for the contestants, which can accommodate a total of eight people including the driver.
The members of each group were arranged to sit separately so that they could just fit in.
Cheng Zhi was now following at the end of his team, carrying his bag on one shoulder with a sullen expression on his face.
Huo Shuhang, who was standing in front of him, turned around and asked, "Why? Are you not happy about the performance? Are you putting on a poker face to match the mood of the song?"
Cheng Zhi turned his head away silently and made up an excuse to fool Huo Shuhang. "I didn't sleep well last night. I'm upset."
Then, Cheng Zhi walked around Huo Shuhang and went to the car, "Let's get in the car and catch up on some sleep."
Cheng Zhi grabbed his hair twice, then walked to the back seat of the car with his bag, found a seat in the corner and prepared to sit down and sleep.
Just as he sat down and was about to fasten his seat belt, Cheng Zhi discovered that the seat belt on this seat was broken at the root and could not be fastened at all.
Cheng Zhi was already in a bad mood, and after encountering such an unfortunate thing as a broken seat belt, he couldn't help but complain, "What kind of car is this? Don't you need to check it before driving?"
The next second, he heard the driver yelling at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, please fasten your seat belts before getting on the bus... Otherwise, you will be fined 200 yuan if you are caught, and you will pay the traffic police yourself..."
Cheng Zhi: “…”
Without saying a word, he picked up his bag and walked to the front to explain the situation to the driver.
After understanding the details, the driver tactfully kicked Cheng Zhi out of the car.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault for not checking before driving. But it's too dangerous for you to drive without a seat belt. Why don't you ask other staff members? There should be empty seats in other cars."
Then Cheng Zhi, holding his bag with a messy face, was led by the staff to a private car.
"All the other buses are full. There is no other bus for you to sit in except this one. Do you mind?"
Cheng Zhi raised his eyelids and looked at the car in front of him. He felt that it looked familiar.
But he had no objection and felt that it didn't matter which car he took.
Anyway, as long as we can get to the performance in the end, just don't sell it out halfway.
Cheng Zhi nodded and thanked the staff, "I don't mind, thank you for your trouble."
After saying that, he opened the car door, got in and sat down.
The car door opened and closed, and before Cheng Zhi could see clearly who was sitting in the car, he heard Lu Zhaozhao sitting in the passenger seat say "Yo".
Lu Zhaozhao looked at Cheng Zhi through the mirror in the car, "Why did you get in our car?"
Cheng Zhi put the bag beside him, turned around and lowered his head to fasten his seat belt. He then answered Lu Zhaozhao and said, "The seat belt in the car just now broke, so the staff arranged for me to sit in this car."
"Oh~" Lu Zhaozhao nodded thoughtfully, then picked up the scissors that she had prepared early in the morning in a corner where Cheng Zhi couldn't see, and quickly cut the safety belt that had just been tied to her body.
He picked up the broken corner of the belt and shook it in front of Cheng Zhi.
Then he smiled and said, "Oh, thank you for your reminder. I found that my seat belt is also broken."
Cheng Zhi:?
Lu Zhaozhao blinked at Cheng Zhi, then quickly opened the door of his car and said, "It seems that there are still seats available in Tina's car. I'll go check them out. Just get along well with Teacher Song..."
After saying that, Lu Zhaozhao ran away and disappeared.
After hearing Lu Zhaozhao's words, Cheng Zhi subconsciously turned his head and looked to his side.
Then I saw Song Baiyi, wearing an eye mask, leaning against the car window and resting.
Cheng Zhi's breathing stopped for a second and he didn't dare to make any other movements.
The next second, Song Baiyi pulled up his blindfold and turned around to meet Cheng Zhi's eyes.
He was stunned for a while in a trance.
After a few seconds, Song Baiyi recovered from his dazed state and asked Cheng Zhi.
"Why are you here?"
After Cheng Zhi realized that Song Baiyi was probably resting just now, so he probably didn't hear the conversation between him and Lu Zhaozhao, he hummed and told Song Baiyi again about how his and Lu Zhaozhao's seat belts had broken just now.
Song Baiyi frowned slightly, then reached out to the front passenger seat and pulled Lu Zhaozhao's seat belt over.
When the complete and smooth incision appeared in front of Song Baiyi, he quickly understood what Lu Zhaozhao was doing.
He sighed and said to the driver, "Master, we can set off now. Thank you for your help."
Then Song Baiyi took out his mobile phone and found Lu Zhaozhao's contact information.
He sent a message to Lu Zhaozhao with an expressionless face.
"Transfer me 5,000 to replace the seat belt."
Not long after that, Lu Zhaozhao sent a voice message. Song Baiyi was too lazy to listen and just long-pressed it to convert it to text.
"Song Baiyi, why are you so stingy? 5,000 yuan can buy ten seat belts..."
There was a long paragraph after that, but Song Baiyi was too lazy to read it, so he just sent Lu Zhaozhao two words: "Interest."
Then he threw away his cell phone, took off his blindfold and looked at Cheng Zhi.
"Have you had breakfast?"
Hearing Song Baiyi's question, Cheng Zhi hummed, "Not yet."
From last night till now, Cheng Zhi has had no appetite due to his bad mood. He has not had any appetite and his stomach is basically empty now.
And just as he was answering Song Baiyi's question, his stomach growled twice, very appropriately.
After hearing the sound of Cheng Zhi's stomach rumbling, Song Baiyi sighed and said helplessly: "When can I make you develop the habit of remembering to eat breakfast?"
After saying that, Song Baiyi took out some chocolates, candies, bread, milk and other things from the drawer of the car and stuffed them all into Cheng Zhi's hands.
"Eat something first to fill your stomach, otherwise you'll get dizzy on stage."
Cheng Zhi watched Song Baiyi take out one package of food after another from the new packaging, and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Song, I remember the last time I took your car to the hospital, I didn't think you put so many things in the car, right?"
Song Baiyi's eyes dodged for a moment, and he lowered his eyes to look at the snacks he had asked his assistant to buy at the supermarket yesterday for Cheng Zhihou.
"Well, I suddenly wanted to put some snacks in the car."
As he spoke, Song Baiyi opened a bag of bread and handed it to Cheng Zhi, "Eat some first, and then we can talk after you finish eating."
After Cheng Zhi took the bread, he thanked Song Baiyi and started eating it in small bites.
There was a distance from the training camp to the next performance venue, and it took about 40 minutes to drive there. It was less than three minutes after Cheng Zhi finished eating the bread Song Baiyi gave him.
Just when Cheng Zhi opened his mouth to talk to Song Baiyi, he found that Song Baiyi was leaning against the car window, resting quietly with his eyes closed.
There was a hint of blue under his eyes, and he looked very tired.
Cheng Zhi suddenly remembered that Lu Zhaozhao had told him yesterday that Song Baiyi seemed to be very busy recently. He understood immediately, so he reduced the amplitude of his movements, sat quietly aside, and looked at Song Baiyi's profile as he was resting.
Looking from the side, Song Baiyi's facial lines are upright, smooth and beautiful.
Just when Cheng Zhi was staring and couldn't move his eyes away, Song Baiyi slowly opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Zhi.
The two people's gazes blended and lingered in the air.
Cheng Zhi was caught peeking, but he was reluctant to look away.
Song Baiyi rubbed his slightly swollen temples and said with a smile: "I've been a little busy with work recently. I asked Lu Zhaozhao to substitute for me yesterday, so I didn't have time to tell you in advance."
"It's okay." Cheng Zhi shook his head and put away his previous unhappiness about not being able to see Song Baiyi.
Song Baiyi hummed softly, "Then I'll take a nap for a while."
As he said this, he closed his eyes and leaned against the car window.
Before Song Baiyi completely closed his eyes, Cheng Zhi moved closer to him, then grabbed his finger and gestured.
"Teacher Song, it's very uncomfortable to sleep leaning against the car window all the time. How about... you sleep with your head on my legs? It's almost like a lap pillow..."
Then, Cheng Zhi continued, "I have learned some massage techniques before. I can also help you massage your solar plexus and so on, which will make you feel more comfortable."
Song Baiyi folded his hands, leaned his head against the car window, and looked at Cheng Zhi who was blushing a little.
After hearing Cheng Zhi's invitation, he responded lazily.
"OK."
