Stage initial rating 3
Lu Qian was very tempted, but thinking of the expressionless and cold look on Shen Xiu's face when he passed by him just now, he said timidly: "No, no, he looks very fierce."
Jiang Yuheng was also a coward. Chen Xiu was tall and his body was obviously well-trained. He could eavesdrop on what song Chen Xiu was singing or what dance he was practicing in the bathroom. Not to mention that Lu Qian was a coward, he was also a coward.
The cowardly duo gave up.
It’s not their fault that they were timid, because Chen Xiu acted very cool and aloof from the beginning to the end.
The physique that looked like he could fight, the cold eyes and the cool yet fierce expression made anyone who saw him feel scared.
——
In the bathroom.
After washing his hands, Chen Xiu looked at himself in the mirror and thought back to the past twenty years of his life. The only thing that had anything to do with dancing and singing was -
I don’t know what he thought of, but Shen Xiu’s gray eyes suddenly lit up.
"I almost forgot, there are also radio gymnastics and the national anthem. I'm familiar with them!"
As native Chinese, from elementary school to high school, each of them must sing the national anthem and do gymnastics every Monday during the flag-raising ceremony, and do gymnastics every day. No matter how poor or obsessed with studying, they can become proficient in these two things.
but--
Doing radio gymnastics and singing the national anthem on the boy band audition stage should be... okay, right?
Dancing requires moving your limbs, and radio gymnastics also requires moving your limbs.
So...if you cultivate deeply and bring blessings to your heart, you will understand everything immediately.
Dancing = Broadcasting = Gymnastics!
No problem!
Shen Xiuyou was shocked by his own logical ability.
Just when Shen Xiu was confidently preparing to do gymnastics on the stage if he got the dance option, and sing the national anthem if he got the singing option, the system could no longer tolerate it.
System: [I advise you not to go too far! 】
Shen Xiu said seriously: "System, just tell me if there is any problem, right? If not, how can it be considered outrageous?"
System: [Who have you seen doing radio gymnastics in the men’s group’s elective program? Why don’t you do square dance? 】
Chen Xiu complained: "Do you think I don't want to? I have to be able to do it. Square dance at least takes up the word 'dance', while radio gymnastics is just like dancing, moving the limbs."
System: [......] I have been convinced... a ghost!
As if remembering something, Shen Xiu said expectantly: "System, I have a good memory. Why don't you play a song for me? I will be able to remember all the lyrics and melody quickly."
If every trainee’s cell phone had not been taken away, he wouldn’t have to turn to the system for help.
System: [This is a strictly prohibited behavior within the system. You can only figure it out on your own. Don’t forget, I am always ready to destroy your system as soon as you are eliminated. 】
"oh......"
Shen Xiu shut himself off.
Dengdeng......
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the bathroom, accompanied by a joyful humming sound.
[Hi, what a coincidence.] 】
[Yes, are you going to the bathroom too? 】
[Hahaha yes, you take your time, I'll go ahead...]
For a moment, Chen Xiu imagined the awkward greetings he had with fellow trainees but unfamiliar contestants in the bathroom, and his scalp was numb with embarrassment.
At the critical moment, Shen Xiu chose to quickly flash into the bathroom cubicle.
It's shameful to escape, but it works!
Click.
The sound of a door being locked came from the cubicle next to Chen Xiu. The person next door cleared his throat and started singing again. A sad and desolate song floated out of the cubicle, which was so beautiful that it sounded like a siren singing.
Shen Xiu: “!”
Shen Xiu, who was hiding in the toilet cubicle, pricked up his ears.
Who's that person next door? The singing is so beautiful! Judging from the voice, it wasn't any of the 100-member boy band.
So...are you a staff member?
It really is a talent show, there are many hidden talents among the staff.
The person next door was singing with great gusto, and Shen Xiu, who was sitting next to the door, was fascinated by the singing. He held his breath and dared not make the slightest noise, for fear of blasphemy and interrupting the beautiful singing.
Although there is no accompaniment, the song next door can still make people intoxicated, as if they are in the empty and desolate scene described in the song where everything is silent and only the bright moon remains in the dark night.
Shen Xiu sang along unconsciously in his head.
After the song ended, Shen Xiu still felt unsatisfied.
It sounds so good, he wants to listen more!
A man's cheerful voice came from the next room: "Yes, I really like singing in the bathroom."
Shen Xiu: “…”
It was the first time he knew someone would go into the bathroom specifically to sing.
The ancients were not lying to me, big guys always have some unknown quirks.
The boss next door normally speaks in the voice of an ordinary middle-aged man, but when he sings, his voice seems to have changed completely. Shen Xiu admires him very much.
The people next door started another song. Although it was not in the same style and was more intense, it was still so beautiful that it seemed like a concert was going on next door. Unfortunately, the song stopped abruptly halfway through.
Shen Xiu heard the unknown boss next door answer a phone call, opened the next room and left in a hurry.
"What a pity..." Shen Xiu stood next to him with a look of regret on his face.
If you give the guy next door two more minutes, he will be able to listen to two heavenly songs at once... Hey, it seems like he... has learned a song!
Chen Xiu clenched his right fist and pounded it on the palm of his left hand: "System, I can sing two and a half songs now!"
System: [...You are so confident, to the point of being blind. 】
You just listened to it once and you dare to say that you can sing it? This is no longer a matter of self-confidence, but arrogance.
"Don't believe it? Ahem..." Chen Xiu cleared his throat and held his head high: "Listen carefully."
The next second, a familiar song escaped from Shen Xiu's mouth...
After the song was finished, Shen Xiu was not only able to repeat it word for word, but he was also able to imitate 80% of the voice of the big guy next door, shocking the system.
System: [......] This kid has something on him!
After Shen Xiu finished singing, he had no time to deal with the system, because he found that there were problems with his singing after he finished. He frowned slightly, dissatisfied with his own re-singing.
"I can only imitate the sound but not the form. My imitation is too poor. I am not even one tenth as good as the big guy next door."
Chen Xiu had never heard anyone else sing this song. The first time he heard it, he had only heard the big guy next door who liked to sing in the bathroom sing it. In order not to insult the big guy's singing, Chen Xiu simply started singing it again in the cubicle, trying to get closer to the big guy.
System: It suspects that this guy is showing off his skills but it has no evidence!
In the trainee waiting area, trainee Xiang Yueting swallowed nervously, couldn't help but stand up and walked towards the bathroom.
Just now, another A-class student was born. Among the students before and after A-class, the worst one is also in C-class.
As a contestant who can only dance and sing but is not proficient in singing, Xiang Yueting was under tremendous pressure because some contestants like him before him were unlucky enough to draw options they were not good at and were publicly punished by the mentors and the audience on the stage, which was humiliating and embarrassing.
In order to adjust his mentality and calm himself down, Xiang Yueting planned to go to the bathroom to wash his face and calm down.
Xiang Yueting approached the bathroom in a daze. Just as he stepped into the bathroom and before he could reach the sink, he heard an ethereal and sad song floating out from the innermost bathroom cubicle.
Xiang Yueting was stunned by what he heard, and stood still.
In the cubicle.
Chen Xiu sang the line of lyrics that he was not satisfied with for the Nth time, and finally nodded in satisfaction.
Not bad, it has a bit of the flavor of what the big guy next door sang before.
Next...
Shen Xiu stood up straight and raised his arms to stand still, stretching his muscles on the spot.
"The Young Man Is Invincible" is full of grandeur. Not only is the stage luxurious and spacious, but even the bathroom is well decorated. The space is large and the smell of money is everywhere. It uses the most expensive circulation system and is fumigated with fragrant aromas. In Shen Xiu's words, the bathroom is countless times more spacious and luxurious than his home.
Shen Xiu's movements in the compartment were completely unrestricted.
System: [You can sing the song completely after listening to it once. Can you choreograph a dance by yourself? What's the point of insisting on doing radio gymnastics while doing all this? What if you get the chance to dance? Do you think you can do better in radio gymnastics by stretching your muscles? Do you really want to lose? 】
Shen Xiu was speechless, the prerequisite for him to completely repeat a song was that someone sang the entire song in front of him while he was concentrating and taking notes seriously.
There was no one dancing in front of him, and he had no dance foundation before. In this situation, how could he create something out of nothing?
How can the system say that he will lose when he hasn’t even taken the stage yet and the outcome is unknown?
Chen Xiu was not convinced: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate, understand? What's important at this stage is not winning or losing, but the process of hard work, and besides..."
Shen Xiu stretched his limbs and said, "How do you know you will lose if you haven't even tried yet?"
"With this bad mentality, how can we cope with more intense competition in the future? Just tell me, am I right?"
He can be emo, but others should not try to attack him.
The system doesn't want to answer and shuts itself down.
Xiang Yueting in the bathroom: "!"
This voice is Shen Xiu!
So, Shen Xiu was just... comforting himself?
I heard that the boss is very good in all aspects, so it’s not surprising that he can judge who is outside by the sound of a person’s footsteps.
Was it that from the moment he entered the bathroom, Shen Xiu recognized that it was him from the sound of his footsteps? When Shen Xiu passed by his seat, did he also see his nervous expression, know that he was confused and uneasy, and say these words specifically to comfort him!
In just a few seconds, Xiang Yueting figured out all the key points and suddenly his eyes were opened.
Yes, just like Chen Xiu said, it is only the initial stage, not so cruel as to be eliminated, just the initial evaluation and class division, why should he be afraid?
Now I’m afraid, with this mentality, how can I accept the countless challenges that will come?
Xiang Yueting's originally dim eyes suddenly lit up.
He could sense Shen Xiu's gentle and caring heart from his cold appearance.
He is such a strong and gentle man.
As powerful as Chen Xiu is, he can sing so well, but he still has to go to the bathroom to be the king of the roll. All the big guys do this, so how can he be lazy?
"Thank you, I know what to do now!"
Xiang Yueting said this loudly to the last cubicle, then turned around and left the bathroom in a heroic manner, without even washing his face, and strode towards the practice room. Before going on stage, he wanted to learn from Shen Xiu and roll up!
In order to ensure that every trainee can hear the program team's movements anytime and anywhere, a radio is also installed in the practice room. The voice of the host on the stage in front can be transmitted into the practice room, so there is no need to worry about the trainees missing the initial evaluation due to practicing inside.
Of course, because the program crew’s sudden initial evaluation caught the trainees off guard, most of them watched the performances of their competitors in terms of positions. Their mentality was unstable and they could not practice for much time in a short period of time. Only a very small number of them were able to stabilize their mentality and calm down and go to the practice room.
Shen Xiu, who was stretching his limbs in the cubicle, suddenly heard a sudden voice coming from outside. He was so scared that he froze in place and almost twisted his neck.
Shen Xiu stared at the compartment door with horror in his eyes.
Cautiously: "...Who?"
Who's outside? When did you come? How come he didn't hear anything?
Shen Xiu, who was immersed in practicing singing and stretching his limbs, was unaware of Xiang Yueting's arrival.
After being frightened in the bathroom for a while, Shen Xiu didn't get a response, so he sneakily opened a crack in the door and peeked outside with one eye.
Seeing that there was no one outside, Shen Xiu felt relieved.
"Phew...how embarrassing."
Shen Xiu stroked his pounding heart, "Fortunately he didn't know who was talking to himself in the bathroom, otherwise I would be a psychopath in his eyes, which would be so embarrassing."
As for what the person outside the door said, Chen Xiu thought that maybe he was on the phone, reminding him that the toilet was not a lawless place and there was someone outside the cubicle.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiu sighed: "He is quite nice."
After Shen Xiu finished speaking, he closed the door of the toilet cubicle and continued to review the radio gymnastics inside.
As for why he didn't go to the practice room, of course it was because he used to take advantage of the situation as long as he could, so naturally he didn't know about the existence of the practice room.
——
When it was the turn of trainee No. 55 to go on stage, Xiang Yueting, who was sweating profusely from training, returned to his seat.
Xiang Yueting, who came back again, changed from being dazed at the beginning to being full of confidence now, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
He imitated Shen Xiu's appearance and sat upright and solemnly at seat 69, watching the performance on the stage attentively.
Jiang Yuheng next to him was puzzled: "What's wrong? Why did you take so long to go to the bathroom? Why do you look so completely transformed?"
Xiang Yueting thought of the song he had just heard in the bathroom, and Chen Xiu's words of comfort, and smiled confidently: "That seems to be true."
After being enlightened by Shen Xiu, he was completely transformed.
Jiang Yuheng: “?”
Xiang Yueting asked again: "Have you ever heard the siren's song?"
Without waiting for Jiang Yuheng to speak, Xiang Yueting showed respect in his eyes: "Teacher Xu has a successor!"
But...running to the bathroom and singing? Obviously the trainees have professional singing studios, so why did Shen Xiu go to the bathroom?
Soon, Xiang Yueting figured it out.
Bosses all have some quirks.
Jiang Yuheng: “?”
Xiang Yueting's words left him confused.
Jiang Yuheng wanted to get to the bottom of it: "You..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiang Yueting continued: "Shh... Be quiet, I have to keep it a secret for him, you will know what I mean later."
Jiang Yuheng originally had one question mark in his head, but now his head is full of question marks.
...He shouldn't have asked!
Shen Xiu had almost finished his practice and came back from the bathroom.
When passing by No. 69 Xiang Yueting's seat and walking towards his own seat No. 66, Xiang Yueting suddenly said: "Hello, Chen Xiu, my name is Xiang Yueting, I am very happy to meet you, really!"
As a guiding light when he was confused, Xiang Yueting remembered that he had not yet introduced himself to Shen Xiu seriously. Seeing Shen Xiu passing by him with a cold face, he couldn't help but speak.
Thinking that Chen Xiu was specifically comforting him, Xiang Yueting felt a secret excitement and joy in his heart.
He was the only one who knew how gentle Shen Xiu was underneath his cold exterior. Xiang Yueting looked up at the indifferent man in front of him with shining eyes.
Chen Xiu: ...Help, help, why is someone suddenly talking to him?
And...isn't this voice the same as the good guy who reminded him not to be too unrestrained in the bathroom before!
Good guy, he is talking to himself now, is he... reminding himself about the bathroom?
Shen Xiu was so embarrassed that he dug his toes into the ground and froze in place.
Lu Qian blinked curiously, looked at Xiang Yueting, then looked at Chen Xiu, and asked hesitantly: "Did...something happen to you in the bathroom?"
Contestant No. 56 on the stage was still drawing lots. The director and the live camera understood the situation very well and immediately cut the camera to the trainees' positions.
In the trainee waiting area, Chen Xiu stood there with a sullen face and tightly pursed lips. He lowered his eyes slightly, and his stern gaze fell on No. 69 Xiang Yueting from top to bottom.
Lu Qian, No. 67, stretched his neck and stared at the two people confronting each other through Jiang Yuheng, No. 68, with his lips moving slightly.
"What is No. 67 talking about? He looks shocked."
"Has there been a conflict? Why does No. 66 Chen Xiu have such a cold expression on his face?"
"Look at the way No. 69 Xiang Yueting looks up at No. 66 Chen Xiu. It's a naked provocation."
