Chapter 217 "TOP IDOL" is in progress
"As planned?"
At this moment, all the participating male idols have gone into the swimming pool to adapt to the water temperature.
Doing so can not only avoid muscle stiffness or cramps due to low water temperature during the competition, but also allow you to familiarize yourself with the water environment in advance and relieve tension.
Gu Yan once again confirmed the tactical arrangements they had agreed upon in advance. Bai Lang would be the first runner, mainly responsible for seizing the initiative.
He and Wei Liangchen served as the second and third runners respectively to stabilize the situation, while Xie Qingyu was responsible for the sprint in the last leg.
In fact, when it comes down to it, they are not professional athletes after all. The effect of temporary training is difficult to predict, and the strength of other teams is even more unknown.
The so-called tactics are more for psychological comfort. When you really get into the water, you still have to rely on your strength.
Xie Qingyu was lying by the pool, letting his mind wander. Gu Yan thought he was feeling unwell and waded over to check. "What's wrong?"
The water in the pool is not deep, only up to the waist.
"Ah? I'm listening~ I'm fine!" Xie Qingyu held up her chin and wanted to laugh when she saw Gu Qi's serious expression.
He was more accustomed to this man's eccentric appearance.
"Drunk in the pool water?"
Bai Lang is almost having PTSD about Xie Qingyu's physique. The first time he got drunk on mangoes, the second time he got drunk on plum wine, and this time his condition doesn't look right either!
Wei Liangchen pushed Gu Yan and Bai Yan aside and squeezed in from between them:
"What? Benefactor, you drank the pool water? That's not allowed!!"
This careless guy only listens halfway and then starts talking nonsense.
Xie Qingyu angrily picked up a handful of water and splashed it at Wei Liangchen, and at the same time, she also gave Gu Yan and Bai Lang a treat.
Stay away from him, his eyes are severely allergic to half-naked men!
"Yubao—what tactics are you discussing? Tell me about it."
Wei Qianze was leaning against the edge of the pool not far away, and he shouted in a voice that was neither too loud nor too low.
Xie Qingyu looked up and saw, as expected, Teacher Wei looking at this side with great interest.
This voice successfully attracted the attention of the camera, other groups and audience fans. It is hard to say that it was not intentional.
[Holy crap! Is that how all boy bands call each other in private? I’m so surprised!]
[Yu~Bao~ This is too intimate, hahaha]
[Wei Qianze, what are you trying to do? You have to make a few viewers die before you're satisfied, right?]
[Their relationship has improved tremendously! Last time, they were mentors and students, and now they're calling each other "BoA"?]
[It's so touching, and he's not shy about anything! I love how open and honest he is, shouting everything out for everyone to hear.]
[Isn’t the funniest part the howl of Wei Shaoye after he finished? Look at Xie CC’s expression. What is he trying to do?]
[Xie CC: Thanks for the invitation, but I declined.]
[Why do I feel like the young master is asserting his sovereignty... Ahhhhh I'm guilty, everything I see as sweet is a CP brain]
In fact, a small part of it was guessed correctly.
As for the object of this "declaration of sovereignty", Wei Qianze narrowed his eyes and glanced at Fang Weilan calmly.
Humph, did you see it?
I dare to call you Yubao in front of the camera, it's justified, do you dare?
Fang Weilan received the signal and stretched out in the water, his muscles slowly expanding with the movement.
His silent smile frightened his teammate Cui Xin. Oh my God, what did he do wrong to have to endure the cold air attack here?
On the other hand, Xie Qingyu would not be easily manipulated. He waved his hand casually, "Since it is a tactic, it must not be spread everywhere~"
"Is Teacher Wei about to start the harsh talk?"
Gu Qi took over the conversation as the team leader. His tone sounded normal, but the unwelcome meaning between the lines was almost overflowing.
Wei Qianze was keenly aware of this hostility, but then he thought, isn't it normal to make harsh remarks with a bit of tension before the game?
It was boring to soak in the pool anyway, so he was about to fight back, but his captain Ange kicked him underwater, so he could only shut his mouth in disappointment.
Ange's eyes were full of helplessness. Wei Laoya was really amazing. Why was he so itchy that he had to tease other people's little white rabbits?
But no matter what, we cannot lose the momentum before the game.
Shan Bei and Yan Zhiyou are both unreliable. One of them just stands by and watches the fun without any worries, while the other one pretends to be deaf and dumb and is also ready to make a move. He often secretly interacts with Xie Xiaobaitu privately, which is really a headache.
"Xiao Gu, are you trying to set an example for everyone by shouting first?"
Experience is always the best. With just one sentence, Ange shifted the focus from the competition between the two groups to all participating groups.
Gu Qi chuckled softly and responded calmly.
Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Xie Qingyu was bored and knocking on the tiles beside the swimming pool, watching with interest how the fuse ignited by Teacher Wei turned into a quarrel between the team leaders.
The competition hasn't even started yet, but the swimming pool is already in chaos. It's exciting, really exciting!
Watching the fun is an instinct engraved in the DNA of the flower-growing family. Everyone at the scene was watching with great interest, not to mention the audience who were eating melon seeds and watching the show in the live broadcast room.
[Exciting! Fight, fight! We have to fight this time!]
[Jiu Min! It turns out idols can bicker like elementary school students in private!]
[Didn't you hear the "official" explanation? They call this the pre-game spiel.]
[Damn, Rotten Grapes are so lucky! They even encountered such a lively scene.]
Being a captain really requires high emotional intelligence. The culture of flower cultivation is extensive and profound. This language art is so profound that anyone with a slow mind can't keep up with the pace.
[I can't stop laughing! Liao Wen, in the double NE group, was dealing damage like a machine gun for a long time, but Ange just said "nagging~" and instantly killed him!]
[I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. What kind of competition is this? Just them getting together is enough to make a great show.]
[No! I've been looking forward to the underwater relay for a long time. It's a must-see!]
"Oh my, why is the competition starting so soon? It's already exciting!"
Wei Liangchen smacked his lips with satisfaction and swam towards the starting point with Bai Lang.
Xie Qingyu and Gu Qi also went to their designated locations.
Xie Qingyu stood by the pool on the opposite bank, his eyes fixed on Bai Lang who was ready to go, and Gu Qi who was half-crouching on the shore, ready to take over at any time.
The atmosphere in the entire stadium instantly became extremely tense.
"thump--"
The starting gun sounded, and six agile figures jumped into the water at the same time, splashing a lot of water.
Bailang was temporarily in the lead, but Eclipse's Danbei kept close and the gap was never widened.
Xie Qingyu observed the situation calmly. At present, their group's advantage was still obvious.
In a blink of an eye, Bai Lang arrived at the finish line.
Gu Qie didn't hesitate at all and dived into the water to complete the handover.
To be fair, in Xie Qingyu's opinion, Gu Yan's speed was definitely not slow, but Eclipse's Yan Zhiyou was simply astonishingly fast.
No one expected Eclipse's second baton to be so strong and unconventional.
Soon, Yan Zhiyou not only narrowed the gap, but even took the lead at one point.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng had excellent psychological quality. When approaching the finish line, he suddenly exerted force and touched the wall almost at the same time as Yan Zhiyou.
The other teams also completed the handover shortly afterwards. The gap between the teams was minimal and the situation remained confusing.
Any small mistake could change the ranking.
At this moment, Wei Liangchen was swimming hard from the other side holding the baton.
Xie Qingyu squatted by the pool, pursed his lips and tried hard to suppress a smile—this was a teammate, he couldn't laugh! He absolutely couldn't laugh!!!
Even if he doesn't laugh, someone else will naturally laugh.
[Hahahahaha this is killing me! What the hell is this pose?!]
[The barrage of “hahaha” comments in front of me blinded me.]
[Oh...Oh...my eyes! my eyes! ! ! ]
[Oh my god, Fatty Wei never disappoints the audience]
[Such a handsome guy, doggy paddling?]
[Isn’t the most important thing that the planing is not bad?]
[Come on, Fatty Wei! Everyone else is laughing at you, but I'm the only one who noticed that you're actually half a body length ahead in this weird position.]
[Don't companies care? Such a handsome guy insists on becoming a comedian.]
[It’s not that I don’t care, it’s just that I can’t control it anymore (lights a cigarette)]
[The more you look at this Husky, the more you like it]
Is Xie CC trying to hold back his laughter? Why can't he look directly at his teammates? He's clearly trying so hard.
[Don’t order anymore, everyone is just thanking CC for being the most polite, the others are laughing so hard they’re falling over]
[I think I know why Fatty Wei blushed earlier. It wasn't because his pupils shrank after watching the underwater live broadcast on the CCTV giant screen. Haha]
Doesn't he know the power of underwater ultra-high-definition cameras?
[Given Fatty Wei's intelligence, emmm...it's very likely that he really doesn't know!]
[Fatty Wei: For my peanuts, who in my family understands? I’ve been set up (crying)]
[Shh! Thanks to CC for taking over! High-energy alert!]
Xie Qingyu jumped into the swimming pool. The moment he took the baton, he lightly tapped the pool wall with his toes and slid out as lightly as a fish.
His swimming style was so light, as if the resistance of the water had completely lost its effect on him.
The water flow blurred his vision, but Xie Qingyu looked straight ahead, not affected by the progress of others at all.
The only thing left in his world was the finish line that was just around the corner. The screams and cheers had all faded away, and the only thing in his ears was the sound of water hitting his body and his own clear heartbeat and breathing.
Getting closer... getting closer...
Finally—my fingertips touched the pool wall!
The moment Xie Qingyu broke out of the water, he took off his goggles and looked at the large screen in the center.
I didn't even notice my swimming cap slipping off, and when I saw the words "Underwater Relay 4×200, First Place: MYST7", I couldn't suppress my excitement and gently patted the water's surface.
The splashing water droplets fell on his fair face, and his sparkling eyes made people's hearts melt, yet they were so beautiful that it took their breath away.
[Oh my god! What kind of lotus is this?]
[So beautiful! I'm talking about people!]
[In the water, she is like a smart little mermaid, swimming very fast and swimming far away in a flash]
[Ahhhhhh thank you CC, from today on I will crown you the god of underwater racing in the domestic entertainment industry!]
[Hehehe, Xie Qingyu, you know I haven’t had a wife since I was a child!]
[Your swimming skills are average. I recommend swimming in my big pool.]
[I can hear the abacus sounds upstairs even on Mars]
[Hahaha, it’s rare to see Xie CC showing his childish side. He even takes pictures of himself, so cute.]
[After soaking for so long, my skin is still so white and translucent. My skin condition is really amazing.]
[And who knows! The moment she emerged from the water was so beautiful that it took my breath away. I'm going to make a video of her immediately after the livestream ends. This kind of beauty should be seen by the whole world!]
Xie CC's beauty is definitely underestimated. Everyone is attracted by his stage performance and his own talent, but his pretty face is often overlooked.
[+111, I'm so happy!]
Xie Qingyu opened his arms and caught Gu Yan who jumped back into the water, as well as Wei Liangchen and Bai Lang who swam over from the other side.
At this moment, MYST7's total score has exceeded 100 points and reached 113.8 points!
No matter how the real-time popularity points are converted, they cannot shake their top spot in the "TOP IDOL" ranking!
As the last event, the moment the men's underwater relay ended, the venue immediately rang out the passionate music of the theme song.
Flower petals fluttered down from the aerial installation, interweaving with the majestic melody to create a dreamlike celebration.
（We are the TOP! (TOP!)
IDOL! (IDOL!)
The stage is on fire and screams are breaking!
One dream, one light, the whole world is focused on it——
Watch us now, history is made by us!
…)
Xie Qingyu, wrapped in a small blanket, playfully flashed bunny ears to the camera, unable to hide the smile on her face. Leo and Wei Liangchen were already having a blast, running around the poolside, their heads bobbing.
All the participating idols did not leave the stage and were laughing and joking around.
Fans in the stands stood up and waved their arms enthusiastically.
The moment the music stopped, all the idols stood by the pool holding hands, shouting "TOP IDOL" in unison, and then jumped into the swimming pool!
Amidst the splashing water, Xie Qingyu looked up at the audience seats - there, the huge flag of "MYST7" was dancing enthusiastically.
He raised the corners of his lips slightly, and the journey of "TOP IDOL" came to a perfect end at this moment!
