As night falls, the streets in the city center, which is full of tall buildings, are lit up with neon lights.
A high-end private car that looked very expensive in both model and material was parked on the side of the road.
Inside the car, Song Baiyi had one hand on the steering wheel.
With his other hand, after pulling out the car key, he slowly took the phone whose screen had been on for a long time.
After seeing the note on the call interface was Lu Zhaozhao, Song Baiyi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Then he skillfully and flexibly used his slender fingers to swipe across the phone screen.
The call was connected, and Lu Zhaozhao's voice came out quickly from the microphone.
"Song Baiyi, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so good at playing hard to get."
Song Baiyi frowned and whispered the key words in Lu Zhaozhao's words, "Playing hard to get?"
Lu Zhaozhao had very sharp ears and immediately caught the details of the voice on the other end of the phone.
"If this isn't playing hard to get, what is it? I still remember how anxious your child was when he ran out to chase you. People were looking for you, and you still ran away?"
Song Baiyi's finger on the phone screen paused slightly, and then he slowly answered Lu Zhaozhao.
"It's not playing hard to get."
"Let him train well in the last period of time. I won't bother him."
Lu Zhaozhao chuckled twice on the other end of the phone, "At least you have self-awareness and know that your presence will affect his training."
"Yeah." Song Baiyi pressed the car window button, and the window slowly slid down to the bottom.
The evening breeze blew in from outside, bringing a few cool breezes that made him feel very comfortable.
The next second, Song Baiyi took his fingers off the phone.
Then he raised his head and touched with his fingertips the spot on his face that Cheng Zhiqin had touched before he left the training camp this afternoon.
Song Baiyi always felt that the warm and soft feeling when Cheng Zhi kissed his cheek seemed to still be there, making him feel so good that he could never be satisfied.
By the time Song Baiyi came to his senses, Lu Zhaozhao had already called his name many times.
Song Baiyi calmed himself down and then spoke to the person on the other end of the phone.
"In the last three days, please take care of him a little more."
Lu Zhaozhao, who finally waited for Song Baiyi to speak, sighed, "Why does he need my care? He probably just stays in the training room every day."
Song Baiyi knew without thinking that during the time when he was away from the training camp, Cheng Zhi probably spent eighteen hours a day in the practice room.
What made Cheng Zhi maintain a healthy routine and eat on time every day? Even eight hundred cows couldn't pull Cheng Zhi's spirit of risking half his life for training.
Even so, Song Baiyi sighed helplessly, and then began to instruct Lu Zhaozhao.
"Tell him for me to let Cheng Zhi get more rest and not get too tired. And also tell him to remember to eat on time."
Lu. Microphone. Zhaozhao rolled his eyes at Song Baiyi on the other end, but still agreed to Song Baiyi.
"I know, I know. I will remind him for you."
After Song Baiyi had told Cheng Zhi some trivial matters that he wanted to explain to Lu Zhaozhao.
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he heard Lu Zhaozhao's voice coming from the speaker, trying to stop him.
"So what are you going to do? Don't tell me you are just going out to be lazy..."
After hearing Lu Zhaozhao's question, Song Baiyi paused.
He tapped the screen of his phone, an ambiguous expression on his face.
Lu Zhaozhao waited for a long time but didn't get any answer from Song Baiyi.
Just when he was about to ask if Song Baiyi was offline, he heard Song Baiyi answering him.
"I'm going to prepare for the confession."
Inside the training camp cafeteria.
Chen You looked at Cheng Zhi who had come to eat on time for two days in a row, and silently raised some questions to Cheng Zhi.
"Why are your eating schedules so regular lately?"
Cheng Zhi, who was holding a plate and preparing to get food, was stunned for a moment when he heard Chen You suddenly ask him a question, then he raised the corner of his mouth and answered Chen You.
"I'm about to go on stage to perform, right? I want to look better in every way, so I'm adjusting my daily routine."
After hearing Cheng Zhi's answer, Chen You nodded thoughtfully, "So that's how it is..."
"Ah, yes, because that day is very important to me..." Cheng Zhi answered Shen You while holding his own plate.
When passing by the beverage area, Cheng Zhi looked at the lemon juice on the table and suddenly had an idea.
Then he asked Shen You, "Hey, do you think lemon juice has the effect of whitening your skin?"
Chen You was suddenly asked a strange question by Cheng Zhi:?
Chen You thought about the question raised by Cheng Zhi very seriously, and then slowly answered him.
"In theory, it's possible, but drinking lemon juice to whiten your skin should take time to accumulate... How about you persist in drinking it for half a year and try it?"
After that, Chen You carefully looked at Cheng Zhi's skin all over his body. Then, seeing Cheng Zhi's skin was so white that it reflected light on the stage, she gave him very objective advice.
"I think your skin is already very fair, so you don't need to whiten it anymore..."
"Is that so..." Cheng Zhi nodded thoughtfully, "Okay then."
Then Cheng Zhi walked straight to the beverage counter and took a glass of lemonade from it.
He smiled at Shen You and said, “Let’s go, let’s find a place to sit down and eat.”
Chen You stared at Cheng Zhi's series of actions in a daze, then followed Cheng Zhi to find a place to start eating.
Not long after sitting down, Cheng Zhi bit his chopsticks and asked Chen You carefully.
"Yuzu, I feel like my eyes aren't bright enough. I wonder if eating some carrots every day from now on will help..."
Chen You looked at Cheng Zhi’s eyes, which were watery and extremely smart in every frown and smile:?
Before Shen You could answer, Cheng Zhi continued to ask.
"Tell me, am I a little fat? How about I find some time to train myself and lose some weight in addition to training?"
Chen You suddenly remembered that when she was training in the practice room just now, she saw Cheng Zhi's smooth abdominal muscle lines revealed when his clothes were lifted up due to his large movements:?
"I looked in the mirror recently and realized that there is some darkness under my eyes. Is it too late to adjust my sleep schedule and start going to bed and getting up early?"
Chen You: “…”
"No."
Then Chen You commented on Cheng Zhi very objectively without any praise.
"From the looks of it, everything is very good, so don't worry."
The three days of training passed quickly.
The "Summer Miracle" debut night live broadcast, which countless people have been looking forward to, is about to begin.
Backstage, Cheng Zhi looked at himself in the mirror and felt a little dazed for a moment.
The performance costumes of "Midsummer" are made of light blue and white. The overall look is a bit like wearing the blue sky and white clouds on the body.
Because it is the stage outfit for debut night, the material and tailoring are very good.
The sizes are also tailored according to each contestant's size, and each person has different small details designed in the details. It can be seen that the program team pays great attention to the costumes.
Cheng Zhi pulled the corners of his mouth, then put on an extremely perfect smile in front of the mirror.
This was the first performance after he became familiar with Song Baiyi, without his reminder before going on stage, Cheng Zhi thought.
Cheng Zhi had performed many performances of various sizes before, but this time was the first time that Cheng Zhi felt so nervous.
What if the performance is not good?
What if a mistake occurs along the way?
If the final voting results come out and he is not first, will he still have a chance to be alone with Song Baiyi?
As he thought about this, Cheng Zhi's fingertips that were holding the edge of the table turned slightly white from being clenched.
Not long after, the broadcast in the background sounded.
The staff's voice came from the speaker.
"All contestants please go to the waiting area and get ready. Our performance will begin in 30 minutes."
"I'll repeat it again, all contestants, please be ready..."
After hearing the broadcast announcing that the performance was about to begin, Cheng Zhi took a deep breath, then turned and walked towards the waiting area.
With his head held high and the blue sky and white clouds behind him, he is ready to set out to embrace the summer that belongs to him.
The audience was crowded with people, and their colorful light signs were swaying together, covering the entire studio.
"Hey, the show starts in ten minutes. I'm so excited!"
"Have you listened to the debut song "Midsummer"? I like it very much. It feels very consistent with the theme of the show and is related to summer. I wonder who is responsible for composing it. He is so good at writing!"
"A group related to summer? I quite like this concept. I wonder who will be the top seven in the end..."
"We'll know after the show, right? Can we still vote now?"
"You can vote, but we can't see the exact number of votes. But the voting period will end when their debut song is finished."
The audience was discussing enthusiastically, and the number of comments in the live broadcast kept doubling.
Tonight, almost everyone on the Internet who is interested in this show is paying attention to this stage.
Soon, with the host coming on stage to announce the show, all 14 contestants walked onto the stage together.
There was no light on the stage, but with the light and shadow of the light signs, the audience could vaguely see the contestants.
The next second, the prelude and lights hit the stage together.
At the same time, all the colorful light signs spontaneously changed into a variety of colors with blue as the main tone almost at the same moment.
Ultramarine, lake blue, sky blue, indigo.
Mixed together, as if someone had broken up various blue gems and mixed them together again.
The whole studio was dotted with stars, as if being swept into the blue ocean.
Cheng Zhi stood in the middle of the stage and saw a large expanse of blue below the stage.
At that moment, he felt that the concept of the song "Midsummer" was pieced together by the audience with their enthusiasm and love and presented to everyone.
White and light blue lights mixed together and fell on each contestant.
The light outlines the curves drawn by everyone's arms and bodies in the air due to their dance movements.
The sound of synchronized footsteps and everyone singing "Midsummer" together rang out on the stage at the same time.
Each of these fourteen contestants has gone through layers of selection and training, climbing up step by step.
No one was lagging behind, and everyone tried hard to sing every note correctly and hit every rhythm correctly.
The entire audience held their breath and watched the performance on the stage quietly.
The composition of this song is not only related to these 14 contestants.
It also has to do with the audiences who have been cheering hard in the audience, and the mentors who have been working hard to provide guidance behind the scenes.
It is also related to the dreams of all the contestants participating in the "Summer Miracle" program.
It is everyone who has come along, using their efforts, sweat and enthusiasm, who have together woven this song called "Midsummer".
All the bitterness, sweat and smiles that everyone has experienced in the past will be concluded with this song and come to a perfect end.
It is the end and the beginning.
Just like its song title.
Another summer is about to begin.
"I already have the list of the top seven contestants in my hands. Do you want to know the final result?!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, there was a burst of screaming responses from the audience.
The atmosphere was already heated enough without any hype. Audiences, whether watching in person or in front of the screen, were all waiting with bated breath for the final result of the debut.
Then the next second, the host held the card in his hand and spoke slowly.
"Okay, let's insert an advertisement here..."
After hearing the host's clichéd lines, the trainees who were standing aside waiting for the final result became even more nervous.
Cheng Zhi stood at the front with a normal expression on his face.
Compared to the final result, he actually cares more about when Song Baiyi will appear.
Didn’t we agree to meet him on the stage of the final debut night?
Because the camera was facing him, Cheng Zhi could only try his best to manage his facial expressions. In the corners that the camera couldn't capture, Cheng Zhi's fingertips were clenched white due to his changing emotions.
Song Baiyi, shouldn't lie to him, right...?
In this way, Cheng Zhi spent this long advertising time with anxiety and nervousness.
When the commercial break came back, the camera turned and focused on the man in the middle of the stage.
Cheng Zhi looked closely and suddenly found that his figure looked a little familiar.
The next second, the lights shone on the stage, and the screams and clear outlines from the audience simultaneously broke into Cheng Zhi's senses.
Song Baiyi stood calmly in the middle of the stage.
He was wearing a high-end suit, tie, and his shirt was buttoned to the top button.
Cheng Zhi looked at Song Baiyi's hand holding the microphone, the joints of which were distinct and the whiteness was dazzling.
At the same time, all of Song Baiyi's gentle and pleasant voice fell into the ears of everyone present.
"Hello everyone, I will skip the previous greetings. I believe that everyone is looking forward to the announcement of the final ranking results just like me."
"Then, let me announce the top seven contestants from the final vote for Summer Miracle."
The screams from the audience also echoed Song Baiyi's words.
He smiled at the camera and made a "hush" gesture.
"As usual, we will announce the sixth place first..."
The empty place where Cheng Zhi was just now was instantly filled when he saw Song Baiyi.
He looked at the person in the center of the stage and inexplicably felt like crying.
Song Baiyi announced the rankings of the top seven one by one.
Each of them is a name that Cheng Zhi is very familiar with.
…
"Fourth place, Shen You."
After Cheng Zhi cheered and congratulated his friend, he also secretly felt sorry for himself.
There are only three left.
As long as he is number one, he will confess his feelings to Song Baiyi tonight, Cheng Zhi thought.
"Third place, Ning Meng."
Only the last two are left.
Cheng Zhi glanced at Huo Shuhang beside him, silently calculating the difference in votes between the two of them.
Then the next second, the two people looked at each other.
Cheng Zhi and Huo Shuhang were both startled and then looked away.
never mind.
As long as he is the first, no matter whether his confession is successful tonight, he will find a chance to kiss Song Baiyi again, Cheng Zhi thought.
Song Baiyi was on the stage, his eyes flickering as he looked at the second place's name.
Then after Ning Meng sat in the debut position, Song Baiyi raised his eyes and smiled at Cheng Zhi.
When he spoke again, his tone was smiling.
"Second place, Huo Shuhang."
The whole audience was filled with screams and congratulations.
Cheng Zhi couldn't listen. He could only hear the rumbling sound of fireworks in his head, which made him feel a little numb.
Song Baiyi smiled and looked into Cheng Zhi's eyes openly.
The two people's sights were entangled through countless people, and their intersection was inseparable.
Even if there is a lot of noise and bustle around.
The right people can still find each other in the hustle and bustle of the crowd.
"First place, Cheng Zhi. Congratulations."
