Chapter 118 The Third Performance 5.0
The subsequent developments at that time were simply an embarrassing disaster of epic proportions.
Xie Qingyu, who was sitting in the waiting room backstage at the Sangong stage, couldn't help but curl up his fingertips just by thinking about it.
He glanced at the four teammates beside him who were staring at the broadcast screen nervously, and then glanced at Ji Shuran who was having her makeup touched up by a makeup artist not far away.
The scene of being dragged to the stairs by several people reappeared in his mind.
…
The four "warriors" who had been shouting the loudest in the training room just now, turned into quails when they actually arrived at the scene.
They held their breath and hesitated to move forward, and finally looked at Xie Qingyu in unison, with the words "How about you go first?" clearly written in their eyes.
Xie Qingyu was just about to take advantage of the situation and suggest a retreat. Just as he raised his hand to signal to return, something unexpected happened at this moment.
Suddenly, intermittent male panting sounds drifted from the corner staircase on the fourth floor, mixed with unclear lines: "Don't... leave my sight..."
Then came another deeper voice: "I want to... mark you..."
The sound was very quiet, but the content was quite explosive. If it weren't for the extreme silence at the moment, it might not be heard clearly.
The most annoying thing was that Ji Shuran suddenly burst into a string of silver bell-like laughter, accompanied by a joyful "My heart is so excited~".
At that moment, the air solidified into a block.
The four 'warriors' froze in place, their expressions ranging from shock to embarrassment to bewilderment.
Xie Qingyu knew from their little expressions that some of them must have had some wrong ideas, and the moment Fan Niu Niu heard the goddess' voice, he felt as if his spine was pulled out, his knees went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
'No------'
That round face was filled with despair, as if he had witnessed the end of the world.
Fortunately, Huang Ke and You Jinzhao were quick enough to hold him back, preventing any bigger noise.
Now there was no need for Qingyu to remind them, as they all wanted to escape.
In fact, at the beginning, Xie Qingyu listened to Fan Niu Niu's description and combined it with Ji Shuran's behavior of punching in at the base every day.
I was almost led astray, thinking that Ji Shuran couldn't control herself and had a secret romance on the show.
But after hearing those shocking quotes, I no longer think so.
Moreover, those male voices clearly carried the distortion unique to electronic devices, and were most likely coming from mobile phones.
He guessed that Ji Shuran was probably playing some role-playing game.
But even so, that is their personal privacy, and their behavior here is very bad. Just when the four "warriors" wanted to retreat, he also retreated first.
And just as they turned around silently, another evil and domineering male voice said vaguely, "Woman, are you playing with fire?"
"Bang—"
Zhou Yu'an, who was walking at the edge, accidentally bumped into the metal box of the fire hydrant.
In the absolute silence of the stairwell, the loud noise was like a bomb exploding.
The noise from upstairs suddenly stopped, and deathly silence enveloped the entire stairwell.
Xie Qingyu slowly closed his eyes.
For some reason, I felt a faint sense of madness, as expected: Great~ As expected, it’s finally over~
When the eyes of several people met Ji Shuran, who cautiously stuck his head out from the escalator on the fourth floor, the awkwardness at that moment swept over like a storm.
At this breathtaking moment——
"Sister, why don't you come downstairs?"
A clear female voice suddenly came from the bottom of the stairs, breaking the silence.
Ji Shuran's assistant rushed over in two steps, confusion written all over his face. "Didn't you tell me to go down and wait for the driver? I've been waiting for a long time, and I thought..."
Her voice suddenly stopped, and she obviously noticed the strange atmosphere at the scene.
At this moment, Ji Shuran wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Oh my god, it’s over, it’s all over! ! ! !
She always maintains the image of a cool goddess at the base and never meets with her "favorites".
At least not on the surface! Today was a complete accident!
She had just glanced at the wall clock in the training room and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock. She suddenly remembered that today's "Heart Link" had not been renewed yet, so she hurriedly slipped out to find a corner to quickly complete the task.
But who could have thought——
I had originally planned to finish this quickly, so I didn't even bring my headphones. As a result, my finger slipped and I clicked on a new plot. When I came to my senses, it was already now...
Thinking of this, Xie Qingyu's long eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the smile that flashed across her eyes.
At that time, Ji Shuran was probably in a state of shutdown and was taken away directly by the assistant.
But after she recovered from the shock, she probably felt that the scene made it easy for people to misunderstand her as a strange person.
Without waiting for her emotions to spread, she found an opportunity the next day, avoided the cameraman, and seriously "clarified" the matter to them.
Who would have thought?
Ji Shuran, who always appears cold and aloof in front of the camera and has no interest in anything, actually has a private hobby of playing otome games.
Xie Qingyu had only heard a little about this, and knew that in his world this type of game was indeed very popular in recent years.
But the other four teammates were completely confused, especially Fan Niu Niu. When Ji Shuran passionately recommended it, his honest face was full of shock, "Is there really anyone who plays this thing?"
However, after being seriously educated (or brainwashed) by Ji Shuran, they still couldn't quite understand the charm of this "awkwardly sweet" plot.
But we have to admit that since the market buys into it, it means that this style does have its audience.
As idols, perhaps they also need to move towards this aspect.
Xie Qingyu didn't show it on his face at the time, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart.
I realized belatedly that the teammates I chose were all dumber than the other and didn't seem very smart.
The type of person who, when old, can be tricked into buying health care products just by walking down the street (bushi).
So - can this team really do it?
Yu Yuzi is a little skeptical~ [cat holds chin]
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Leo poked his head out from behind Xie Qingyu's shoulder. Seeing that his brother didn't notice at all, he couldn't help but move closer out of curiosity.
The young man's warm breath brushed past his ears, and Xie Qingyu came back to his senses.
He sighed softly and said leisurely, "I was wondering... have the audience started to enter~"
"It's still early!" Wei Liangchen happened to come over at this time. He caught the question in the slightly noisy waiting room and answered casually, "It's just after five o'clock."
The bottom of the screen clearly displayed 17:03, and Leo blinked and nodded in agreement.
But he wondered in his heart, wasn't he the one who usually asked this question? When had his brother ever been confused?
Xie Qingyu took in Leo's puppy-like confused look, and a subtle curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
The preparations for this Sangong ceremony are indeed different from the past.
There are seven songs and seven stages, and the process is so refined that it is almost harsh.
The program team also used extremely luxurious costumes and props. Xie Qingyu's ink-patterned embroidered robe alone had three revisions.
As the final battle before the group's debut night, the rehearsal intensity was doubled, and the makeup rehearsal was even more rigorously detailed according to the standards of a formal stage recording.
At this moment, the smell of styling spray wafting through the dressing room exudes a tense feeling of a last-ditch effort.
"My benefactor, I think..." Wei Liangchen suddenly leaned closer, lightly tracing the ends of Xie Qingyu's hair with his fingertips, "black hair suits you best."
He frowned and stared at the strand of hair hanging on his collarbone. "But it feels different from the first stage..."
"My brother looks the best no matter what hair color he has!" Leo's green head immediately squeezed over like a little animal guarding its food.
Anyway, everyone should know that he was attracted by Xie Qingyu's beauty.
Xie Qingyu's eyebrows were gentle and he watched the two people bickering with a smile. The lights in the waiting room reflected the tiny streams of light dotted between his eyebrows.
For him, hair color has never been an aesthetic choice, but an extension of stage language.
The sense of alienation created by the dark black hair makes every turn feel like turning over a yellowed page of letter.
The previously eye-catching platinum hair color was a visual highlight tailor-made for the stage of "Addiction". It is okay to change it if it is obviously incompatible with the style of this performance.
On the other side, Wei Liangchen's bickering voice gradually faded away, and his eyes unconsciously stuck to Xie Qingyu's face.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong. It was very mysterious. Logically speaking, he was one of the better-looking people.
He is also a person who is praised by fans for his "godlike face" and has a usual Narcissus-style aesthetic. He is always impressed by his own handsomeness when looking in the mirror. Why can't he control himself from glancing at Xie Qingyu recently?
This situation became even more obvious after Xie Qingyu dyed her hair platinum blonde.
He had obviously tried lighter hair colors before, but when he looked at Xie Qingyu, he felt particularly...
Wei Liangchen racked his brains to find an adjective, and in the end the only word that popped into his mind was "dazzling".
That’s right, it’s dazzling, like the kind of dazzling moment when you suddenly encounter a beam of sunlight in the snow in winter.
"...Wei Liangchen!!!" Leo waved his hand in front of his eyes, "What are you daydreaming about?"
Two people were arguing, and the one on the other side suddenly started to lose focus. Is that okay?
And he always felt that... The puppy turned his head and looked at his brother vigilantly, wondering if he was coming to compete with him again!
Wei Liangchen suddenly came back to his senses and found that Xie Qingyu was looking at him with a smile.
Those eyes looked particularly clear against the backdrop of stage makeup. Maybe it was because the second public performance had a good effect. This time, the makeup artist also added a few diamonds to the corners of Xie Qingyu's eyes, making it look like falling stars when she blinked.
He suddenly felt his ears burning, and quickly turned his face away: "I'm just thinking about the stage movement!"
Even Leo couldn't fool him. When did this bastard Wei Liangchen become so concerned about the stage?
Even dogs don’t believe it!
Wei Liangchen didn't care about that. He gave a similar reason and retreated. He was still pondering this strange phenomenon until he sat back in his seat.
As he was thinking, he was suddenly hit on the head by You Jinzhao who reached out from the front to tease him.
I didn't expect that at this moment, I was not confused, but suddenly a light bulb went off in my head.
He knows!!!!
This must be the legendary “handsome guys attract” principle!
Just like the positive and negative poles of two magnets, the more handsome the person, the stronger the attraction between them.
Wei Liangchen suddenly understood, and even felt a little proud: Sure enough, only people with top looks can produce such a wonderful resonance~
