End of practice and start of school
With the help of the lights in the community, when Mu Zhenchu turned around and faced him, Shen Xiu could see that Mu Zhenchu's face was obviously haggard, and his mental state was obviously much worse than the last time they met.
Shen Xiu was confused, but Mu Zhenchu just called his name and didn't say anything. Shen Xiu was even more embarrassed to explore other people's privacy.
Just curious and asked: "What's the matter?"
It's already ten o'clock in the evening, Mu Zhenchu would definitely not come here unless there was something wrong.
Although Shen Xiu's voice was indifferent and no emotion could be heard, Mu Zhenchu did not feel that Shen Xiu's attitude was cold. Instead, he felt a sense of familiarity and peace of mind.
Thinking of the company's arrangement for him tomorrow, Mu Zhenchu looked at Shen Xiu with even more embarrassment.
Licking his dry lips, Mu Zhenchu explained in a low voice: "I said before that I would find time to practice with you, so I..."
Before Mu Zhenchu finished speaking, Shen Xiu understood: “Let’s go.”
It’s not his break time anyway.
Shen Xiu walked in front, opened the access control with facial recognition, and led Mu Zhenchu into the community.
Just, you agreed to it so easily? !
Mu Zhenchu walked behind Shen Xiu, looking at him with eyes full of apology and gratitude.
If the company hadn't scheduled him too full for the next few days, and if he hadn't had to run around from eight in the morning every day and wasn't released until eight in the evening, he wouldn't have come over so late at night.
If he doesn't come, he won't have the chance to practice, won't be able to keep up with everyone's progress, and will miss this group concert. Maybe he will never have the chance to stand on the same stage with everyone again.
Coming out of the training camp together sincerely, TG has a different place in Mu Zhenchu's heart.
Even if he will decay in the future, at least at this moment, he is alive.
Shen Xiu walked in front and felt that the atmosphere was quiet and a little awkward.
Let's talk about something. It's weird to be kept silent all this time.
How have you been lately?
No, Mu Zhenchu doesn't look like he's been doing well recently. What's the difference between him asking this and rubbing salt into someone's wounds?
Have you got a meal yet?
Please, it's already 10 o'clock in the evening. Who can go without food at this time of night?
Today's moon is so round...
Save - How on earth did he come up with such an embarrassing topic? !
It’s really hard to find something to talk about when you’re with teammates you’re only half familiar with! Shen·Tired··Sighing secretly in my heart·Xiu.jpg
Chen Xiu had never felt that the journey back was so long. In order to end the awkward atmosphere as soon as possible, Chen Xiu silently quickened his pace.
It will be fine once they get home. They will start practicing right away and won’t have time to think about whether it is embarrassing or not.
Just like he faced other teammates in Xiang Yueting's studio during the day.
Chen Xiu's thoughts were becoming more and more awkward in his mind. Before he could find a topic to talk about, he suddenly heard Mu Zhenchu's voice behind him.
"Chen Xiu, I'm sorry, I delayed your rest time."
"!"Finally spoke! That’s great, he doesn’t have to think of topics on his own anymore!
With excitement, Shen Xiu spoke without hesitation: “No delay.”
After finishing speaking, Shen Xiu felt that he had said too little, and the length of his speech did not match that of Mu Zhenchu, so he added, “It’s not my break time yet.”
No, as the captain, how can I be shorter than my teammates?
Without waiting for Mu Zhenchu to speak, Shen Xiu added: “If you don’t come, I will watch movies and do homework until twelve o’clock.”
Two hours is just enough to finish watching a movie. When I come back from practice tomorrow, it will probably be ten o'clock, so I will have exactly two hours left, which is perfect for writing a movie appreciation and sending it to the teacher.
Shen Xiu was very satisfied with his arrangements.
Mu Zhenchu: “…”
Who would take watching a movie as homework? The reason why Chen Xiu said this was definitely to help himself out, to comfort himself, and to make himself feel less guilty!
"Thank you, I will try my best!"
Shen Xiu sacrificed his rest time for him. If he didn't work hard and performed poorly in the group special, the first person he would let down would be the Xiu team, then his teammates, and finally himself.
Shen Xiu found that he really liked people who worked hard, and he said sincerely after hearing this: “Well, let’s work hard together!”
This was Chen Xiu’s first time being an idol, so he didn’t really understand what idols were supposed to do, so he checked online and found out that group albums and their sales were very important for idols.
They didn't work hard and their first group album performed poorly. How can they attract fans to buy it?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He asked Mu Zhenchu, "What time do you want to practice until?"
As a captain, he can do it!
Mu Zhenchu asked cautiously, "Is twelve o'clock okay?"
Although the practice time is short, but within these two hours, with Shen Xiu's guidance, he should be able to know what level everyone has reached. He can practice on his own during the daytime break tomorrow.
Shen Xiu: “Okay.”
A few minutes later, the two arrived at Shen Xiu's residence.
This was not the first time that Mu Zhenchu came here, but when he saw Shen Xiu's house again, he was the only one there without his other friends, so he felt a little restrained.
Shen Xiu opened the shoe cabinet and took out his shoes. Seeing that Mu Zhenchu didn't move, he seemed to think of something and looked at the place where his home shoes were placed, thinking that Mu Zhenchu had forgotten what shoes he wore last time.
Then he said, "The blue pair is yours."
After saying that, fearing that Mu Zhenchu would misunderstand that he only allowed him to wear that pair, Shen Xiu added: "Only a few of you have been here before, and the shoes you wore last time were only worn by you. The shoes everyone has worn can be used as home shoes here."
"Of course, there are new ones below, you can wear them if you want."
Chen Xiu knew that some people didn't like to wear shoes that others had worn, so he simply memorized the colors that each of them had worn so that they wouldn't get mixed up.
After listening to Shen Xiu’s words, Mu Zhenchu’s eyes swept across the upper and lower rows of the shoe cabinet.
The top row of shoes in the cabinet holds the shoes they have worn, and the bottom row holds new ones.
"Whose red pair is this?" Mu Zhenchu took his blue pair and asked in a suppressed voice.
Without even looking at it, Shen Xiu replied: "It's from Xiang Yueting."
"What about green?"
"Zhuang Yi." Chen Xiu remembered that Zhuang Yi had muttered about how cute the blue dinosaur on the shoes was when he put them on last time, so it was easy to remember.
"What about pink?"
"Song Chengwang."
Shen Xiu also didn't expect that Song Chengwang, who looked tough, liked pink.
Mu Zhenchu: “…”
Using color to distinguish the shoes each of them wore, Mu Zhenchu dared to guarantee that they themselves did not pay much attention, but Shen Xiu remembered them clearly.
This was just the surface, what was deeper, what shocked and moved him even more was that this meant that Shen Xiu had quietly prepared exclusive slippers for everyone on their team in his home? !
If he hadn’t asked out of curiosity today, Shen Xiu would never have taken the initiative to tell them.
Such a thought made Mu Zhenchu feel sad.
Their repair team may seem cold and indifferent, as if they don't care about anything, but they are always so kind that it makes people feel sad.
Mu Zhenchu's original intention to quit the group disappeared at this moment: "Captain Xiu, don't worry, I will definitely not hold you back!"
"......good."
As expected, all of them cared a lot about this group special.
Although there are not many rooms here, they are fully functional. Shen Xiu chose an empty room with nothing in it except a projection screen, which is perfect for practice.
Although the system said that the soundproofing here was good, Shen Xiu still didn't dare to let out the sound. He found two headphones for himself and Mu Zhenchu to wear, and laid two layers of carpets on the ground. There was no sound when he stepped on them, so he felt at ease to use the projector to open the group training video recorded during the day.
Mu Zhenchu saw the recorded video on the projector and saw the seat that everyone had specially reserved for him during training. At this moment, he was so moved that his heart reached its peak.
Chen Xiu was working on the projection, and without even raising his head, he asked Mu Zhenchu, "Have you read and practiced what I sent you during the day?"
When the parts were divided, Shen Xiu sent it to Mu Zhenchu immediately.
But he didn't know whether Mu Zhenchu had practiced before. If not, he would have to set aside another half an hour for Mu Zhenchu to learn how to sing and dance by himself, and then dance along with the recorded video, so that he could correct his movements.
There was no big mirror here, so Mu Zhenchu couldn’t see his own movements, so Shen Xiu needed to keep an eye on Jiu.
Mu Zhenchu nodded: "I have practiced it."
The company just took him for a walk and let him run around, but he still had time to eat and rest at noon.
Shen Xiu nodded: "Then let's start practicing directly."
Mu Zhenchu: “Okay!”
For the next two hours, Mu Zhenchu wore one earphone and watched the projection while practicing along with the music in the earphone, while keeping one ear free to listen to Shen Xiu's corrections.
When Chen Xiu was practicing, he would just ask questions directly. He never thought about what euphemism was.
"We use our breasts to create the jam here, why are you shaking your waist?"
"I don't really understand. Why is your voice shaking during the last few words of this lyric?"
"Standing up? Just now I thought you were going to lie still. I told you to lie down but I didn't mean to really do it."
After experiencing two hours of devilish correction by Shen Xiu, Mu Zhenchu, who originally thought that he would never be able to experience the feeling of the training camp again after leaving the training camp, finally experienced the fear of being dominated by the big devil Xiu again.
After it was over, Mu Zhenchu wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel in a daze: "Thank you, I'll go home first."
If he went back so late, the company dormitory would definitely not let him in, so Mu Zhenchu planned to find a hotel to stay in.
The hotel is too expensive. The money he used to spend on the hospital should be enough to last for a while. A cheaper hotel would be more suitable for him.
When Mu Zhenchu was ordered around by the company, he thought countless times that being busy has its advantages. Although the share of the profits was not much, at least he was making some money.
Chen Xiu knew without even looking that it was definitely past midnight. Chen Xiu was a little nervous as it was his first time inviting someone to stay at his home. His voice was stiff as he said, "If you don't mind, you can sleep in the guest room."
Chen Xiu didn't know other aspects of Mu Zhenchu, but based on his observations of Mu Zhenchu during the training camp, Mu Zhenchu's expression of emotions on stage and off stage were completely different.
As soon as the training ended just now, Mu Zhenchu returned to his haggard appearance. The intense emotions he expressed during the training seemed to be locked into a box by Mu Zhenchu the moment it ended.
If he goes back like this, Mu Zhenchu will only be more tired.
Mu Zhen stared at Shen Xiu in a daze: "Can, can I?"
"certainly."
Phew...agreed.
Invite friends to stay overnight!
system:【......】
It feels like I’m dreaming of Shen Xiu completing missions.
But - is making friends and getting along with friends worthy of being regarded as a task by Shen Xiu? ! The system doesn’t understand.
Shen Xiu took Mu Zhenchu to the guest room and told Mu Zhenchu the location of various items. Before leaving, he hesitated for a few seconds and still chose to speak: "Don't go into the study."
Although the system didn't say it, Shen Xiu still felt that it was not good for others to see those things in the system.
He rented the house, but the secret still belonged to the system, and Shen Xiu felt that he had the responsibility to keep the secret for the system.
The last time at Shen Xiu's other home, Mu Zhenchu had heard Shang Yu say that Shen Xiu's study was a forbidden area, so Shen Xiu's words at this moment did not surprise him, and he nodded in response.
"Understood. I will never go in."
"Um."
Shen Xiu responded, and found that Mu Zhenchu was still looking at him, and suddenly realized it, and said again: "Good night."
Mu Zhenchu: "Good night!"
Only then did Shen Xiu turn around and leave the guest room.
Shen Xiu returned to the master bedroom, took his clothes and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Under the black shower head, Chen Xiu let the warm water fall on his body while reviewing today's practice with his teammates as the captain.
In terms of practice, Shen Xiu gave himself 80 points.
Thinking of his time with Mu Zhenchu, Shen Xiu said to himself, "Mu Zhenchu is medium rare, not bad."
Another big breakthrough today!
system:【? 】
[Except for Xiang Yueting's eight-well done, weren't all the others medium-rare? How come it’s suddenly medium rare? Can you elaborate on this? 】
Why can't it understand Shen Xiu's train of thought?
If this problem is not figured out tonight, its database will be in chaos!
"It was originally medium rare, but now that I have successfully invited him to stay at my home, is it strange that it has become medium rare?"
He extended the invitation and Mu Zhenchu accepted, which meant that in his and Mu Zhenchu's hearts, their friendship had taken a step further, which was obviously reasonable!
System: […As long as you are happy. 】
Chen Xiu raised his hand to push back his wet hair and turned off the shower, and answered seriously: "I am indeed very happy today."
Meeting friends after not seeing them for many days was not as strange and awkward as he had imagined. He also successfully strengthened his friendship with a teammate and reviewed the day's training content while correcting his friend's practice.
Gaining three kinds of things in one day, anyone would be happy.
The next day.
Mu Zhenchu had to rush around, so he got up at half past six.
Mu Zhenchu thought he had gotten up early enough, so he washed up in his room. When he came out, he saw Shen Xiu sitting on the sofa in high spirits, leaning forward with his elbows on the coffee table, writing something in his notebook. He couldn't even be emo anymore.
What King of Volume Cultivation? This is clearly God of Volume Cultivation!
Mu Zhenchu greeted in shock: "...Good morning."
Shen Xiu raised his eyes and looked at Mu Zhenchu: "Morning."
"Well... I'm leaving first, goodbye." Facing Chen Xiu's cold gaze, Mu Zhenchu didn't know what to say for a moment, and since he had to catch the bus, he just said goodbye.
Shen Xiu didn’t know what to talk about with his friends after saying good morning in the morning, so he just responded, “Well, bye.”
After Mu Zhenchu left, Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and wrote down the last data on the paper, and said to the system worriedly: "I will not be here later, is it really okay for strangers to come to install it?"
For a moment, Shen Xiu's mind flashed through many social news stories about bad people taking advantage of the owner's absence to break into the house and do evil.
System: [Don’t worry, I am the system, the system that once controlled your life and death! 】
Shen Xiu thought about it and felt relieved.
In the evening, when it was almost ten o'clock, Shen Xiu waited for Mu Zhenchu at the gate of the community.
When Mu Zhenchu got off the bus and walked into the gate of Yulin Banxia Community, he saw Shen Xiu wearing a mask standing under a big tree not far from the community from a distance.
The moment he saw Shen Xiu, Mu Zhenchu felt that all his fatigue was swept away, and he quickly ran to Shen Xiu: "Sorry, sorry, I must have waited for a long time."
"No." Shen Xiu said truthfully: "I just arrived too."
Chen Xiu was not good at awkward conversation, so he went straight to the point: "Let's go back and practice."
Mu Zhenchu nodded: "Okay!"
Entering the familiar practice room, the first thing Mu Zhenchu saw was the oversized mirror that took up almost the entire wall.
It didn't exist last night, but it exists tonight. It's obvious for whom it's for.
Seeing Mu Zhenchu staring at the mirror without saying a word, Shen Xiu thought Mu Zhenchu was curious and explained, "This is convenient."
Look at the mirror while dancing so that you can notice immediately if your movements are not in place.
"Yeah!" Convenience or something like that must be an excuse given by Shen Xiu because he didn't want him to have too much psychological burden. It's all for him!
After four consecutive days of practice, which was basically perfect, Shen Xiu, as the team leader, announced the end of practice.
With Shen Xiu practicing with Mu Zhenchu for several nights in a row, Mu Zhenchu did not miss the training for the first group special. The nine of them only had to wait for Shi Buwen's notification to start the recording and filming of the first group special.
On the night he stopped practicing, Shen Xiu contacted a driving school called Hongyun, which he had chosen after comparing with other schools.
Shen Xiu had planned to sign up earlier, but was delayed for a few days by training, so he only has time to sign up now.
The system looked at the name of the driving school selected by Shen Xiu and asked a soul-searching question: [To be honest, did you choose this driving school because its name is 'Hongyun'? 】
"Fifty percent of the reason."
Shen Xiu, who had been in a non-African state for many years, was ruthlessly exposed by the system. Although he was ashamed, he admitted it.
"Hongyundangtou" is a good name at first glance. He really needs a good driving school name to change his luck.
Especially when Chen Xiu was checking driving schools, he saw many netizens saying that getting a driver's license is a lifelong enemy, even more terrifying than the college entrance examination. It is possible to fail the second and third subjects and use up all the opportunities for make-up exams and have to retake them.
Under the premise that Chen Xiu had never touched a car since he was born, coupled with the lessons learned from netizens, Chen Xiu was more determined to choose "Hongyun Driving School" to add a good luck buff to himself.
【Um? 】
In addition to being superstitious, Shen Xiu weakly defended himself: "Of course, 50% of the reason is that it is closest to the school and where I live."
He is only half way there!
System: [...Well, as long as you are happy. 】
The communication with Hongyun Driving School went smoothly. Chen Xiu decided to go to the school to register the next day, and also go to the driving school to register a little earlier.
When Shen Xiu signed up and left the driving school, the driving coach who had been far away from him quickly came forward.
"Isn't this the celebrity who is said to have a very powerful family? He came to sign up for a driver's license? Don't they usually have a special person to teach them?"
Looking at the registration photo, the person in charge took a deep puff of cigarette in confusion: "You ask me, who should I ask? I don't understand, I don't understand at all!"
——
It is very simple to enroll in university. You only need to transfer the money to the bank card issued by the school before the end of the semester. The school will deduct the money by itself, and the school scholarship that Shen Xiu receives will also be deposited into the card issued by the school, because Shen Xiu never needs to transfer tuition fees into it.
The start of school is completely different from before it started. The school is full of college students returning to school.
The moment Shen Xiu walked into the school gate wearing a mask and a baseball cap, he was under everyone's hot gaze.
For this reason, Chen Xiu could only walk while bearing the fiery gazes of his schoolmates, silently deceiving himself in his heart, trying to brainwash himself: Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me...
While quickening his pace, Shen Xiu also had to be vigilant and pay attention to his limbs, trying to avoid making a scene in front of his classmates.
after all--
He is only a sophomore now. If he makes a fool of himself by accident, he will be socially doomed for two years. How will he face people in school for the next two years!
Even after graduating and looking for a job, when he sees his classmates, the first thing they see when they see him is the famous scene of him shaking his hands and feet in public.
Just imagining it, Shen Xiu felt his scalp tingling, and he walked faster and more cautiously.
"Ahhh Xiubao!"
"Help, I didn't expect to actually squat there!"
"Even if he was wearing a mask and a baseball cap that completely blocked his cool face, I could still recognize him. No one knows Xiubao better than us Xiu experts!"
Along the way, such deliberately suppressed excited voices never stopped.
Before Chen Xiu participated in the boy group talent show "Young Man Invincible", he was a celebrity in school. Everyone knew that Wang Xiu, who received a full scholarship, was not only tall, handsome and in good shape, but also diligent, hardworking and motivated. He was the apple of the eye of every professor in the Chinese Department.
He is just too aloof, and he exudes a cold aura all the time, which makes people afraid to approach him. The school's confession wall calls him the Divine Cultivator of the Polar Ice System.
But this summer, after Shen Xiu participated in the boy group audition, everyone who had been following the show discovered that Juan Shen Xiu was really aloof and cool, but he was cold and soft-hearted!
Therefore, fellow students in the same school have evolved from peeking from afar in the beginning to pretending to pass by and peeking while talking in low voices to their friends around them.
"Xiu Bao's legs are so long! Help me, why can he walk so majestically just on the school boulevard? His style is totally different from the people around him!"
"Isn't that nonsense? Xiubao is 1.89 meters tall. But this picture really has the unique aura and beauty described in campus literature that can be seen at a glance in the bustling crowd."
"Ahem, Xiu Bao didn't show his face."
"It doesn't matter, the back view is also beautiful~"
"Why am I not a Chinese major? If I were, my required courses would overlap."
"That's okay. We can't expect to pass the required courses, but we can work hard on the electives."
"It's too unreliable to rely on luck. Who knows what elective courses Xiubao chose?"
At ten o'clock in the morning, Shen Xiu, who had walked all the way in fear, finally arrived at the classroom that his class often used.
Shen Xiu calculated the time and entered the classroom one second before the ten o'clock time set by the head teacher.
After the classes were divided into smaller groups at the beginning of the second year, not many students chose film and television culture. There were only fifteen students in Shen Xiu's entire small class.
Not only can you tell at a glance who has come and who hasn't, but it's also difficult for anyone to walk in without being noticed.
When Shen Xiu walked into the classroom, he was stared at by fourteen pairs of eyes in the classroom, and his steps froze for a moment.
When Ling Yuanzhen saw Chen Xiu's mouth, he couldn't help but want to act cheap, but thinking that Chen Xiu had always been called the God of Scrolls by this group of people, he held back and didn't dare to speak.
Shen Xiu froze for a second, then recovered and walked to sit behind everyone as usual.
Looking at the back of everyone's heads, Shen Xiu's nervous mood eased a little. It was not appropriate to wear a mask and a baseball cap in the classroom, so Shen Xiu took them off quickly.
Before entering the classroom, Chen Xiu could hear everyone talking in the classroom from outside, but after he came in, no one spoke anymore.
Shen Xiu sighed apologetically in his heart, Ling Yuanzhen was right, no one would feel comfortable where he was, and his appearance made everyone uncomfortable again.
The teacher hasn't arrived yet and no one has been talking in the classroom. It's eerily quiet.
Just as Shen Xiu was thinking about whether he should open the back door of the classroom, go out temporarily, and then go back into the classroom when he saw the teacher coming, Jiang Wan, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly turned around.
good evening!
