Chapter 36
[…Three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Four, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. End! The finale! A perfect curtain call!]
The photoelectric equipment on the stage was dazzling. Chu Yu stared at the colorful spots of light falling on the floor, and counted the beats rigorously and excitedly. The more he counted, the more excited he became, and the more surprised he was - the dance was almost over, and victory was just ahead!
He! An elderly man with no dance skills! After two weeks of emergency intensive training, he is about to successfully complete his first dance performance!
Now who dares to say that he is not an extraordinary genius!
More importantly, he didn’t go crazy during the entire performance tonight in front of a thousand audiences!
This is a double blessing. I have exceeded my target and can sleep three times better than usual at night.
Even Teacher Zhao cried with joy while holding the electronic eardrum that he had not yet used.
The temporary venue rented by the program team for the performance was extremely spacious, with the auditorium arranged in a stepped manner and quite far away from the stage. The layers of loudspeakers and in-ear accompaniment in the venue prevented Chu Yu from hearing the wild laughter from the fans.
All he could see now was bright light and waxed floors. He couldn't see any humans, and he felt so good and outstanding, so he felt extremely relaxed.
Once they relax, the audience in the front row will find that a certain little social phobia guy who always has a gloomy face suddenly has a smile as big as 100 pixels.
【Hahahahahahahahahahahaha】
[Chu Yu: Confidence. The most important thing for a man is confidence]
[Chu Yu: Dancing this difficult dance really tires me out. I'll put my hands on my hips for a moment.]
[Baby, why are you so cute? Hahahahahahahaha]
This is the first time I’ve seen him smile so naturally in front of the camera. It really matches the lyrics of the part he sang.
[Don't tell me, don't tell me, I found that Brother Baizi's singing is really good, his voice and technique are great, and this time he even has some emotion.]
His vocals have always been well-received, but his mental state has taken over the spotlight.
When God mixed the ingredients, did he pour too much vocal and spill all the dance?
[In fact, before he started counting the beats for himself, I really thought his dancing skills were improving rapidly.]
[Just when I wanted to praise my baby for being awesome, he exploded. What else can a mom do except smile?]
If he doesn't tell me, who would know?!
He actually didn't want to say it! He felt wronged too!
[Are there any sisters who can find out the overlap rate between his dance moves and radio gymnastics?]
[There is already a comparison video, and the conclusion is that the plagiarism rate is higher than that of my paper hahahaha]
Who on earth could have come up with such a deceptive stitching dance? Without my son explaining it to me in real time, I'd still be in the dark.
[It is expected that the video comparing Brother Baizi's dance and radio gymnastics will be the most popular one tomorrow]
[This is so funny! I'm going to use this as my electronic pickled mustard greens to go with my meals every day when the video comes out.]
[I have already told my friends and invited them to come over to watch the fun I am having.]
[Brother Baizi: Listen to me say thank you, because you warm the four seasons]
I'm really looking forward to Chu Yu's reaction after learning that 90% of her fan base is just for fun.
Chu Yu was completely oblivious to the barrage of feedback that was scrolling and refreshing in real time. He was still in a state of euphoria, feeling good about himself. When he was finishing his pose, he even made a heart gesture with his hands in a much more generous manner.
[I laughed so hard, I felt Xiao Yu was so proud that he raised his head high]
[He tilted his head so high, his eyes fixed on the ground, not daring to look at the audience. Is this what 99% of people are like?]
【Cute, like】
After the performance, the lights will be turned off for a short time. During this time, the front group on stage must leave and the back group must enter.
Because after the stage went dark, the light boards and banners in the hands of the fans below would become more obvious, so Chu Yu still didn't dare to raise his eyes and glance forward, for fear of seeing some obscene words or slogans that would ruin his performance.
The staff began to come over to change the scenery, and the big screen behind them popped up the song titles and team member lists of the next group. According to the order of appearance, Luo Jiayu was the last one.
At this time, a handsome guy was casually adjusting his earphones at the end of the team. He was wearing thin-framed gold-rimmed glasses with chains on his face. The long chains of the glasses went around his neck and hung down to the sides of his ears. Because he didn't open his mouth, he looked like an extremely gentleman at first glance.
Judging from their faces, both he and his childhood friend have cold and dark complexions. When they walk on the street, the girls around them will think they are high-quality cool guys who are out to rock the streets. But unfortunately, their temperaments both went astray in the end. One looks old at a young age, one is crazy and the other is bright and confident.
So the stylist arranged for him to wear such a gentlemanly accessory, the only use of which was to take it off with a casual turn at the beginning, and then return to the familiar style and start to arrogantly blow up the stage.
"Host, are you nervous?" The system's cold female voice sounded in his mind.
"Ayu was so funny just now." As soon as Luo Jiayu opened his mouth, the cold and abstinent feeling could no longer be held back. When he thought of the scene on the stage just now, he turned his head to the side with joy and the corners of his mouth flew around.
Not only funny but also a little cute.
"Can you be a little more nervous? Otherwise, it will seem that my anxiety to the point of wanting to die is unnecessary." There was a hint of sadness in the system's cold voice.
"If the popularity value added tonight doesn't exceed 200 points, we'll both die after 12 o'clock."
"Sounds like we're Cinderella." Luo Jiayu wrapped the metal chain of his glasses around his finger again and again and asked casually, "If this mission fails, will you disappear?"
"No, but I will take a pay cut, and this year's year-end bonus will be cancelled. I may not even be eligible to attend the annual meeting." The system became increasingly sad. "You might as well kill me if I can't get my salary."
Luo Jiayu didn't care: "Then when you've finished your illegal work and returned to the real world, you can come to Hangzhou to find me. I'll make up for the money you lost."
"..." The other party was choked for a few seconds by the prince's wealthy and powerful attitude. The man and the system were silent for a few seconds until the system spoke again.
"What about Xiaoyu? He will be very sad to know that you are gone."
"..." Luo Jiayu didn't raise his eyes when he heard that. After a moment, he turned to the shadows, and a light "tsk" sound slipped out from between his teeth, and his voice became lowered.
"Don't mention this. I'll regret it if you do."
The system finally found a way in and threatened harshly, "If you are expelled back to the book-traveling space, I will show you the video of Xiao Yu's reaction after he found out you left. You will regret it till you die."
As a female lecturer who is well versed in human nature, the system quickly discovered in the past few days that although Chu Yu looked half-dead and did everything in a Buddhist and casual manner, he was actually very insecure, sensitive, socially anxious and easily sad. Luo Jiayu's side was one of his few comfort zones in this world.
If I woke up and found that my silly dog was gone, I would probably be in a daze for a long time, and by the time I realized what was happening, I would be crying with red eyes.
Chu Yu's makeup was very eye-catching even when the stage lights were dimmed. Luo Jiayu's eyes followed the candy-colored makeup all the way and he curled his lips at the end.
Even the imminent death did not affect his continued steady performance. He jokingly addressed this somewhat heavy topic:
"If I really can't stay here anymore, I'll kiss him before I die. That way, after I'm gone, he'll be so shocked by my sexual orientation that he won't even be sad."
On the stage, Chu Yu was the last one to leave the stage because of her position, and therefore had the most interactions with the next group of trainees.
The first one in the list was deputy rap captain Fu Hansong, who had just had his hair combed back by the stylist. After being surrounded by a bunch of crazy men for so many days, he was now the one with the most genuine cold face, and his weathered face showed the depth of a philosopher.
Ranked second and third are the two most popular top CPs at the moment. The color of Wei Ziyu's stage costume was quite cleverly designed to look like a couple with Jiang Chenglu. No matter how fake his cold face was, it couldn't hide his passionate love brain.
Jiang Chenglu's natural innocent personality did not suit the sexy hit song very well. He wore a sexy performance outfit that was a bit beyond his psychological defense, and the blush on his ears was visible to the naked eye, but he received the loudest cheers from the audience.
…
Luo Jiayu was the last one in the group, the center, the main dancer, and the main rapper. He exuded a sense of carefree relaxation from head to toe. The only hint of emotion was the upward roll of his eyes when he looked at the two leading contestants in front of him who were getting closer and closer.
Chu Yu passed by them one by one, and Jiang Chenglu did not forget to gently squeeze his hand to express encouragement, but the boy seemed to be unable to stop rolling his eyes, his eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and he didn't even notice that Chu Yu was about to pass by him.
The next second, Luo Jiayu frowned and retracted his gaze to the front. Chu Yu's eyes had been glued to the floor, so he didn't react at all when his childhood friend suddenly grabbed the back of his head and pulled him over.
Chu Yu raised his eyes in confusion. After thinking about it for eight hundred times, he still couldn't figure out the meaning of this action. So he said, "Huh?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang behind him, and a piece of the stage screen above his head suddenly fell off and hit the place where he had just been.
Chu Yu turned around and said, "Wow."
Okay, now he knows the meaning.
The whole audience was in an uproar and chaos. The director urgently cut off the live recording and the staff rushed up to check if anyone was injured in the stage accident.
All the lights were turned on at this moment. Luo Jiayu looked at the person in his arms, raised an eyebrow, and took off his earphones in full view of everyone. Then, in the mature, steady, and considerate tone of an older brother, he asked, "Are you okay?"
Chu Yu glanced at him, then looked behind him, then her expression tensed and she suddenly pulled him to the side.
The force of the pull was so strong that both of them lost their balance and fell to the ground and rolled into a ball. The place where Luo Jiayu had originally stood was occupied by a collapsed piece of scenery.
Before today, Chu Yu had never known that this class could be life-threatening.
Luo Jiayu was lying on the ground, Chu Yu was lying on top of him, and the spotlight happened to shine on them. The whole place seemed very noisy, but suddenly became silent, as if the eyes of the whole world were fixed on the two people hugging each other on the stage.
Chu Yu didn't know that he was a little desperate now. The feeling that the whole world revolved around him was too terrifying. In just a few minutes, the accumulated pressures made him, who had been very stable, suddenly break down.
In the mess, Luo Jiayu looked at his childhood friend who was buried in his shoulder, and felt that their current posture could be more or less called ambiguous. He ignored all the worried or shocked looks from the people around him, and even had the leisure to reach out and rub Chu Yu's hair.
"Scared?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yu raised her head and looked at him, her eyes filled with the exhaustion of being human and the despair of having to work.
Then the whole audience heard the first sharp explosion of the night:
I can't even make it through a single day in this crappy class! I might as well be a security guard at the Summer Palace and feed the ducks!
