Chapter 136: Group Night Song Announcement (Part 1)
After re-recording all the footage that afternoon, the qualified contestants quietly sent the 15 eliminated companions to the bus.
Compared with the grand farewell scenes of the first and second farewells, the farewell of the third farewell seemed more quiet and restrained.
There are fewer people and the process is faster, but the weight on everyone's heart is even heavier.
On the way back, I don’t know whose eyes were red first.
These young people who have been together day and night suddenly realized that the most cruel thing is not the sudden separation.
Instead, I watched familiar faces gradually disappear, like empty marks left on the beach at low tide.
The production team has reallocated the dormitories, and the once bustling corridor is now so quiet that you can hear the echo of footsteps.
Someone pushed open the familiar door, only to find that the bed that was once packed with luggage had a new owner.
Someone was standing in the mostly empty room, staring blankly at the name tag on the bedside table that had not yet been torn off.
The most tormented are those contestants who need to move out of their original dormitories.
They carefully checked every corner, afraid of leaving anything behind - or perhaps even more afraid of taking anything away.
The six keys to the original dormitory jingled in my palms, and I finally exchanged them for a key to the new dormitory from the staff. The crisp sound of the handover seemed to seal this shared memory.
As Silently carried his luggage on his way to the new dormitory, the lights in the corridor stretched his shadow very long, and in the unknown room ahead, waited another group of equally lost teenagers.
In dormitory 122, Wei Liangchen curled up on his bed, his whole body buried in the soft quilt, and he let out heavy sighs from time to time.
His face flipped back and forth like a pancake on a frying pan, and every time he heard the sound of rolling suitcases in the corridor, his sighs became longer and longer.
The others didn't say anything, but Liu Xiu couldn't stand it at all, and he just started yelling at this guy:
"Just say what you want to say. Why are you sighing all the time? Pah, pah, pah, what bad luck! Our dormitory is already considered good, at least no one left. Walls have ears, don't take advantage of me and act like a good kid. In ancient times, you'd be like someone carrying someone else's coffin to your own house to cry. I surrender to you!"
After he finished speaking, he still felt it was not enough and added: "Also, if you want to sigh, cover yourself tightly with the quilt. Don't make any noise and disturb Qingyu from doing her homework!!!"
The dormitory originally had a somewhat dull atmosphere, but everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing his brilliant idea. Ahem, well, the truth is there.
Xie Qingyu corrected the wrong questions one by one with a red pen, closed the exercise book and prepared to move on to the next one.
When he heard the argument between the two, he just laughed and shook his head without interrupting.
At times like this, just let them make a fuss.
Wrapped in the quilt, Wei Liangchen complained in a muffled voice, "You're cold-blooded, heartless, and overbearing! Isn't it okay for me to feel bad when my teammates leave? Unlike you, you enjoy everything you eat and even go to get more rice for dinner... I saw it all... I feel sorry for your teammates who were eliminated..."
Liu Xiu rolled his eyes, completely speechless - he controls everything and even cares about adding more food to his plate?
I have never seen such a thing in my life. I actually encountered a real "moral kidnapping".
He sneered and retorted bluntly, "At least I'm adding more rice openly, unlike someone who looks sad and tearful while still choking on a chicken drumstick!"
Wei Liangchen shrank back into his bed guiltily, but Liu Xiu had no intention of letting him go. He continued, "I thought someone was so grieving that he would become a vegetarian for three years! Besides, he's just leaving the base to return to normal life. He's not a dead person anymore and I'll never see him again."
"Maybe they're enjoying themselves right now, drinking beer and eating hot pot! It's quite refreshing that you're here imagining things with tears in your eyes.
Liu Xiu had already held back his words, and he hadn't said anything more pointed yet - he was afraid that Wei Liangchen's fragile little heart couldn't bear it and would drag him down with him to die on the spot.
Didn't he say that others were out enjoying themselves, but someone was still nagging here, as if someone owed him money!
(Wei Liangchen: '`
Liu Xiu: ＠(￣-￣)＠）
Wei Liangchen was speechless after being confronted by him. He could only silently wrap himself tightly in the quilt and curl himself into a smaller ball - the 'cold wind' outside was too biting.
The other people in the dormitory, who were originally still immersed in the sadness of parting, now pricked up their ears and listened to the gossip with great interest.
At such a wonderful moment, how can one have the time to be sad about the passing of time?
When they heard the second half of Liu Xiu's words, they all felt a pang in their hearts - there was something else behind these words!
It seems that he is criticizing Wei Liangchen, but in fact he is pointing fingers at them~ What a trick of making a subtle move!
But on second thought, it does make sense: there's only a little over a week left, and if you use this time to write emo literature, you might as well think about the group's debut night.
Compared with other roommates, Xie Qingyu seems to be shrouded in Fan Niu Niu's lucky halo.
Not only did all the roommates stay, but even the four teammates in the third public performance "Five Phases of Floating Life" successfully advanced.
Especially the most dangerous Fan Niu Niu, who narrowly passed the qualifying line at the last moment, thus preserving the integrity of the entire team.
When everyone else was lying on the bed, he was the only one who could sit at the long table and do his homework calmly.
If you ask whether there is any of his teammates among the players who left, there is indeed one - "hot guy" Zhang Zixuan.
But it’s better not to call him that now. He has now "turned over a new leaf", his eyes have become clear and bright, and his tone of voice has become much gentler. It seems that he has found a new direction in life, which makes people feel quite relieved.
As for the past of Zhang Zixuan and Li Luoqi's "love-hate CP"... ahem, everyone pretty much knows what happened.
Many sensitive contestants were initially misled by their superb acting skills and are now desperately trying to erase the memory of that excessive imagination.
It's no wonder that everyone misunderstood. After all, the two of them cooperated seamlessly from the front to the backstage. Who wouldn't be confused after watching this?
Ding Zai put his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling with a distracted gaze, muttering, "Does the selection of supervisors just now mean... that we're going to directly record the song selection session for the group night tomorrow?"
His memory suddenly flashed back to the day of the first stage recording. Because he was not used to the high-intensity shooting, he was the first to rush to the dormitory 122 with his name on it. After tidying up simply, he fell asleep.
Time passed so quickly as if the accelerator key was pressed, and in the blink of an eye it was time to prepare for the group night.
In a few days, this special journey will come to an end.
If they fail to make their debut, most people will return to their own life tracks.
"Road to Starry Night" is like a short meteor shower, bringing together young people who have never met before, but will eventually disperse.
Ding knew in his heart that his chances of debuting were slim. It would be extremely difficult to spend time with his roommates like he did now.
Everyone in the dormitory heard his vague words and understood the unspoken meaning in them.
Life is impermanent, but when young people truly experience this truth for the first time, they can't help but feel disappointed.
Xie Qingyu's pen didn't stop, but he said with a smile: "The finals are coming soon. If we choose the songs earlier, everyone will have more time to prepare."
Moreover, the performances on the group formation night are not just the songs performed by the teams, but also individual performances, as well as the debut songs that the 7-member group will perform on stage after the final rankings are announced that night.
Although there may be only 7 people who can finally stand on the stage and perform their debut song, it is something that the 20 remaining contestants must master.
Time is cut into pieces and training intensity is about to double.
The election officials revealed this in advance in the hope that they can adjust to the best condition as soon as possible.
"Everyone should have a good rest today. From tomorrow until the end of the show, you may not have another break like this again."
Gu Yan reminded him, his eyes unconsciously turning to the only person in the dormitory who was not in bed.
Xie Qingyu was quietly bending over a long table, doing his homework, making almost no sound.
Although it would not disturb other people's rest, Gu Yan knew that he must not stay up late tonight.
This is the only day they can adjust their condition properly, so they must ensure adequate sleep.
"That's right. I'll go to sleep now. Good night, everyone~" Wei Liangchen, who was in the lower bunk, immediately nodded in agreement, grabbed the quilt, turned around and was about to fall asleep.
Gu Qi couldn't help but press his eyebrows. It was only a little after seven in the evening, and this guy was too active.
Xie Qingyu is worried that he doesn’t get enough sleep, and this guy is worried that he gets too much sleep. If he sleeps too much at night, won’t he be restless during the day?
The person who wanted to remind him hadn't responded yet, but the idiot Wei Liangchen listened to it.
Xie Qingyu's eyes curved slightly, and she naturally understood Gu Qi's intention.
He hadn't planned to stay up too late today, not only because of the upcoming high-intensity training, but also because - he was about to start school.
The original owner signed up for the audition during the summer vacation, and he has been in the training base for almost two months now.
School will start in a few days, and it might even conflict with the finals.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingyu couldn't help but feel a headache.
The original owner's parents were both deceased, and he had no close relatives or friends around him, otherwise he would not have lived such a pitiful life.
Naturally, no one can help him communicate with the school now.
He himself was trapped in the base and even going out was a problem.
What's even more troublesome is that Xie Qingyu participated in the audition directly after traveling here, and had no time to sign a contract with an agency. Now there is not even anyone who can help connect him with the school.
Even if he wanted to sign at that time, it would be difficult for him to find a suitable company in just a few days given his conditions at the time.
The most crucial and what makes Xie Qingyu most anxious is that the audition has not ended yet and the bonus for forming a group has not been received yet.
He still has nothing now, and the purse in his suitcase only contains the few coins he brought with him, which may not even be enough to pay the tuition.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingyu suddenly felt that his breathing became a little difficult.
Now we can only hope that the program team can help negotiate with the school.
If not, he would probably have to go to the original owner's school in person during the intervals of high-intensity training.
The tip of the pen unconsciously drew a long line on the paper. He looked out the window at the night and sighed softly. The road ahead is long and difficult.
