The third performance 7
Shang Yu didn't expect Shen Xiu to refuse, and the refusal was so cold and ruthless.
When Shang Yu heard Shen Xiu's emotionless voice, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
By the time he reacted, his hand had already loosened from the transparent glass cup in front of Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu looked carefully and found that the hand that had stopped him from moving the wine cup had disappeared, so he picked up the wine glass again and took a sip.
The bitter and spicy taste spread in his mouth, but when Chen Xiu thought that this was a bottle of wine worth 32,000 yuan, he swallowed it willingly.
After all...it was him who poured so much into his own cup!
Shen Xiu regretted and convinced himself to pay for his stupid behavior.
Shang Yu tilted his head and frowned at Chen Xiu. One cannot drink too much of this kind of strong liquor. If he doesn't want to get drunk, he can only drink a small cup at a time, or sip it bit by bit. One cup can last a long time.
The wine glasses provided for them here are relatively large, and half a glass is enough for him to drink four or five times at home.
When Shen Xiu just started pouring half a cup, Shang Yu thought that Shen Xiu could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, so he dared to pour so much.
At this moment, Shang Yu saw that Chen Xiu was still not drunk even after drinking more than half of the wine, and combined with Chen Xiu's cold and stern rejection with a suppressed and gloomy tone, he instantly understood.
Chen Xiu poured so much wine at the beginning, not only to avoid getting drunk, but also to relieve his worries with just one drink.
Chen Xiu can tell jokes to ease everyone's sadness before parting, but no one can comfort him, so he has to rely on drinking to relieve his sadness.
Words of comfort were too pale. Without his family around, Shang Yu was not used to getting drunk outside, so he poured a small glass of the same wine as Shen Xiu and drank with him.
Shang Yu picked up the poured wine glass, clinked it with the glass in front of Shen Xiu, and drank it all in one gulp.
Chen Xiu only saw something passing by his wine glass in front of him. He thought that another hand was about to touch his wine glass, so he quickly put his hand on the wine glass, picked it up and took a sip.
Seeing Shen Xiu's actions, Shang Yu understood. Although Shen Xiu didn't say anything, his actions showed that he appreciated his kindness.
Just now, Shen Xiu said the word "let go" coldly without any emotion. The volume was not loud, but the people sitting next to him could still hear it.
It was rare for everyone to see Shen Xiu's emotions so openly revealed, and for a moment everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Xiu.
Seeing Shang Yu clinking glasses with Shen Xiu, and seeing Shen Xiu drinking alone with his eyes downcast, he understood everything.
Shen Xiu, who rarely shows his emotions, seems to be worried about the separation tomorrow.
Sure enough, whether it was the cold jokes he had deliberately made to amuse them before, or his tense expression, eyes lowered, and silent drinking now, all of them showed that Shen Xiu had them in his heart!
Especially those who know that they will leave 100% tomorrow will feel warm in their hearts.
Everyone poured themselves a glass of wine or juice. When Shen Xiu was exuding depression, they didn't have the courage to get close to Shen Xiu like Shang Yu did and clink glasses with him, but they all drank the glass in silence.
Shen Xiu was completely unaware of the looks his friends were giving him, at this moment his eyes were only focused on the wine in front of him.
He's almost done drinking it!
With victory in sight, Shen Xiu felt his dizzy head become much more relaxed.
When the party was halfway through, Shen Xiu finally drank all the wine in his glass.
After drinking, Chen Xiu leaned back in his chair and looked forward. The figure in front of him was swaying. Not only could Chen Xiu not see clearly what the swaying figure looked like, he also felt dizzy and frowned slightly.
Everyone didn't feel scared when they saw Shen Xiu looking up at them with a frown on his face.
Because they all knew that when the meticulous Chen Xiu saw them, he would definitely think of their separation tomorrow and be annoyed.
Chen Xiu was a bit stubborn. The more he couldn't see clearly, the more he wanted to see clearly, and he was silently angry with himself.
In the second half of the party, Shen Xiu forced himself to keep his eyes open and look at the figure.
At the end of the party, the figures in front of Shen Xiu finally stopped shaking, and he could finally see clearly what the people in front of him looked like.
After seeing it clearly, Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
The party was over at twelve o'clock in the evening. The staff and several trainees who had been drinking juice helped the drunk trainee up and took him into the production team's car.
Seeing everyone helping others, Shen Xiu subconsciously stood up and wanted to help.
When he stood up, Chen Xiu felt a little dizzy. He was afraid that he would fall and be embarrassed, so he stopped and stood there for a few seconds. After he felt less dizzy, he walked towards Song Chengwang, who was closest to him.
If he was absolutely sober, the first person Chen Xiu would choose would definitely be Xiang Yueting. However, although Chen Xiu was a little sober now, he was not completely sober yet, and he instinctively helped the person closest to him.
Shen Xiu helped Song Chengwang, who was lying on the table, up.
After Shen Xiu finished drinking, Song Chengwang and Xia Wenhao had an argument. In the second half of the argument, when Shen Xiu was sitting in a chair to sober up, he and Xia Wenhao were arguing. Although he was not seriously drunk now, he could not leave alone.
When Song Chengwang's arm was placed on Shen Xiu's shoulder, he opened his eyelids and stared at Shen Xiu's face for a long time before he spoke slowly: "Shen Xiu?"
Hearing someone calling his name, Shen Xiu reacted slowly, stopped, tilted his head and stared at Song Chengwang with a frown for two seconds, then he reacted and replied, "Yeah."
After the staff helped a trainee out, they returned to the box and saw Shen Xiu tilting his head and frowning in response to Song Chengwang.
As a staff member who watched the entire trainees' party, he was of course aware that Shen Xiu also drank.
Although Shen Xiu now looked very sober, and still had the mind to dislike Song Chengwang for drinking too much, the staff still asked: "How about I help you?"
Everyone was helping others, and Shen Xiu felt that it was not good for him to be lazy alone, so he shook his head slightly: "No."
Shen Xiuzhou, who was not very clear-headed, was afraid that the staff would not let him do his job, so he carried Song Chengwang away after he finished speaking.
In order to avoid being caught up by the staff, Shen Xiu quickened his pace, causing him to stumble a few steps.
After staggering, Chen Xiu stood firm and continued to walk out with Song Chengwang's support. While walking out, Chen Xiu stared at the road ahead without blinking to avoid falling.
The staff member saw Shen Xiu staggering under the guidance of Song Chengwang from behind, and thought that Song Chengwang had drunk too much. As a result, Shen Xiu was so drunk that he even staggered.
A few trainees who hadn’t drunk came back to continue helping the people in the box, and saw Shen Xiu supporting Song Chengwang and passing by them silently.
It was not until Shen Xiu's back walked away that the few people withdrew their gazes and sighed from the bottom of their hearts.
"While everyone was drinking and having fun, Chen Xiu silently watched us for so long. He must have been remembering how happy we were at that moment."
"Although Chen Xiu is aloof and taciturn, he cares about us and even gets drunk for us. Unfortunately, Chen Xiu has a good alcohol tolerance and can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Chen Xiu is really... I am crying!"
"Chen Xiu is so capable, has a great background, and is so generous. To be honest, I won't be jealous when I see Chen Xiu making money in the future."
Shang Yu, who didn't drink much, was also not drunk. He helped Xiang Yueting out. He happened to hear what they were saying and smiled at them.
Several people also smiled at Yue Ting and watched Shang Yu help the person walk away towards the private room where they had had the dinner.
They walked and chatted in low voices.
"Chen Xiu is so strong that I get scared just by looking at him. It's an instinctive fear. Shang Yu always makes my scalp tingle every time he laughs."
"Fuck, you feel the same way. Me too."
"And Song Chengwang. It's fine if Song Chengwang keeps his mouth shut, but once he opens his mouth, I'm afraid he's targeting me. Even if he's venomous, I'd rather be blunt like Xia Wenhao."
"Are you stupid? Is that what Xia Wenhao calls a poisonous tongue? Xia Wenhao was just being displeased and speaking directly."
"To be honest, among the top few people, Xiang Yueting is the easiest to get along with."
"I totally agree. Xiang Yueting is a human husky. He is so stupid..."
"Ahem, that's enough. We are all little angels on earth, but you give us the whole husky look, hahaha."
"Okay, stop making a fuss. To be honest, the top guys all have very bad tempers... Well, it's not that they're bad, but they're all different and it's hard to control them. Who will be the captain in the end?"
When this topic was brought up, several people became interested and expressed their opinions.
"Shang Yu, be a little more cunning so that the whole team won't suffer. We all know how weird the inexplicable rules in the entertainment industry are."
"I think it's Shen Xiu. Shen Xiu can suppress everyone."
"It's true that he can suppress everyone, but think about Shen Xiu's personality. If he doesn't like someone, he will just ignore them and give them the cold shoulder or embarrass them in person. This can easily offend people."
"Well, in my opinion, the entertainment industry should be run by whoever is the best. I am fed up with the weird rules set by the so-called seniors. I am still looking forward to Shen Xiu's rectification of the entertainment industry, and to make it based on ability instead of who can serve others or who can climb up the social ladder."
The trainees hadn't come to a conclusion yet when they were interrupted by a staff member's cough: "Ahem..."
When they saw the staff, they realized that they had walked to the door of the box while chatting, and they shut up awkwardly.
Chen Xiu helped Song Chengwang to the front of the car. The staff took Song Chengwang and helped him into the car. Chen Xiu also subconsciously followed and sat in, instinctively sitting in the last row where no one was sitting.
Sitting in the car, Shen Xiu leaned against the back of the car seat. As he sat there, he subconsciously closed his eyes.
In Chen Xiu's car, Shang Yu helped Xiang Yueting get on last.
After Shang Yu got on the bus, he saw Chen Xiu sitting in the last row, which had an empty seat, so he walked over to Chen Xiu's side and sat down.
Hearing the noise beside his ear, Shen Xiu opened his eyes uneasily and stared at Shang Yu for two seconds. His brain received the reaction from his eyes and realized that this was Shang Yu, someone he was familiar with, someone they could live safely in the same dormitory with, and not one of his roommates in college.
After realizing this fact, Shen Xiu found that Shang Yu was also looking at him.
Shen Xiu: “…”
It's over. My brain was too stiff. I forgot to be detour for a moment and just stared at people stupidly. This is so weird!
Seeing that Shang Yu had no intention of talking to him, Chen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, slowly and stiffly turned his head back, afraid that Shang Yu would talk to him, and closed his eyes guiltily.
Chen Xiu closed his eyes and didn't dare to sleep at all. He shouted frantically in his heart: My mind is not very good now, please don't talk to me for the time being!
Shang Yu didn't think there was anything strange about Shen Xiu's behavior.
If he was about to close his eyes and sleep, and someone suddenly sat so close to him, he would open his eyes to see who it was.
He would only dare to close his eyes and sleep if the other person was someone he was familiar with and trustworthy.
People like them have some degree of "paranoia".
But... Shang Yu looked at Chen Xiu with dark eyes. After Chen Xiu confirmed that it was him, he was able to close his eyes peacefully. Does it mean that in Shen Xiu's heart, he can actually be trusted?
Thinking of this, Shang Yu felt a little guilty.
He is not a person who can easily open up to others, and maintaining a superficial friendship is enough for him.
Even the fact that he came to participate in this program was only because of Shi Buwen's original words that aroused his curiosity about this circle. He was also a perfectionist, so he specially found many teachers to teach him, so he was able to smoothly occupy the debut position.
After spending so much time with everyone, in his heart, the most trustworthy person in the entire program team is Shi Buwen.
To put it bluntly, he originally planned to fade out of the debut group after the show ended, and move on to the next thing that he found interesting. When he had enough fun, he would return to his family company. After all, he studied finance.
Now, Shang Yu felt confused when he thought of Shen Xiu, who always strived for perfection and was serious in everything he did.
Half an hour later, the program crew's car returned to the training camp.
After returning to the dormitory, although Shen Xiu was no longer confused, his mind was not feeling well, so he took his clothes and went to take a shower.
Shen Xiu washed up as quickly as possible and went to bed to rest.
Lying on the bed, Shen Xiu, who had not really slept all the way, closed his eyes and fell asleep in a second.
"Ugh..." In the bathroom, Xiang Yueting and Song Chengwang, who had sobered up a little, hugged the toilet and vomited uncomfortably.
After they both came out after vomiting and washing up, they sat in their seats in a daze, looking at Chen Xiu's bed, asking soul-searching questions.
"Isn't it hard for Shen Xiu?!"
"He obviously drank more than I did, why didn't he vomit?"
Shang Yu also came out after washing up. Hearing this, he glanced at Shen Xiu's bed and said, "What else could it be? Of course, it's because Shen Xiu wasn't drunk at all."
After he finished speaking, Shang Yu first looked at Xiang Yueting and said with a smile: "Chen Xiu can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Do you think he is like you, who loves to eat and drink?"
Then, Shang Yu looked at Song Chengwang again: "And you, you are drunk and stupid, don't you know that you were helped from the box to the car by Chen Xiu? How could Chen Xiu help you when he was drunk? Did he help you with his mind?"
Shang Yu, who was confused in his heart, attacked everyone equally.
After the equal deaths of Song Chengwang and Xiang Yueting, Shang Yu was still upset. He went to bed with his hands on his abdomen, staring at the ceiling, and suffered from insomnia.
Song Chengwang: "......"
Xiang Yueting: "......"
Song Chengwang and Xiang Yueting, who were still sitting on the chairs below, looked confused by what Shang Yu said.
Xiang Yueting whispered, "Old Song, did Shang Yu secretly eat gunpowder without telling us?"
Song Chengwang rubbed his swollen forehead. He really had no idea who helped him out. Hearing this, he said irritably, "What gunpowder? You're being too conservative. It's obviously dynamite."
Xia Wenhao came out of the bathroom after vomiting. Hearing what the two said, he laughed and said, "Yes, I'll blow you two up!"
If Xiang Yueting hadn't fanned the flames, would he have had a drinking contest with Song Chengwang? angry!
Song Chengwang and Xiang Yueting, who were hit again, blinked blankly.
No, what did they do to offend anyone? !
Zhuang Yi and Jiang Yanxi, who were drinking juice the whole time, looked at each other, completely out of the situation.
I don’t understand. Those who drink juice don’t understand at all!
The next day, at nine in the morning.
Because of yesterday's party, all 36 trainees had already arrived at the practice room on the 10th floor. However, due to the dinner the night before, the drunken trainees were dizzy and for the first time, they were not in high spirits to greet the ranking announcement.
Shen Xiu drank early yesterday and didn’t vomit, plus he slept until 8:30 this morning, the first time he slept so late, so he was full of energy and not affected at all.
Song Chengwang, Xiang Yueting and Xia Wenhao vomited many times last night and did not sleep well. He sat beside Shen Xiu in a listless state. When he saw Xue Yi coming in, he had to stay awake to avoid falling asleep.
"I shouldn't have drunk so much last night... No, I shouldn't have drunk at all. I just regret it, I regret it so much!"
"My head hurts so much. I didn't sleep much all night. I'm so annoyed."
“Hangovers are really annoying.”
"Forget about the hangover. Vomiting after drinking is really disgusting."
Sitting side by side with Shen Xiu in the back, Song Chengwang, Xia Wenhao, and Xiang Yueting, who had drunk last night, were thinking about Shen Xiu, who was in high spirits on the far left. They had only one thought: Why was Shen Xiu fine after drinking such a strong liquor?
Could it be that being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk is really the standard for big guys?
Song Chengwang even wondered if he should practice his drinking capacity.
[It seems that you really shouldn't drink too much alcohol, as it can easily make people listless. You can tell at a glance who has drunk and who hasn't. From the look of my boss Xiu's mental state, you can tell at a glance that he hasn't drunk! 】
[Well, it seems like everyone is treating this as the last dinner together, so it’s understandable that they’re uninhibited. 】
[Ahem, to be honest, I still want to see what Xiubao looks like when he is drunk. The classic scene of Xiubao and Brother Wang drinking last time has become the material for the Alphabet Station. I really want to wait for some material of Xiubao when he is drunk! 】
[As a fellow cultivator, I would also like to watch it, but Master Xiu is such a self-restrained person, he would not allow himself to get drunk. 】
“Ahem!”
Xue Yi's heavy coughing sounded from the front. The fear of being dominated by Xue Yi was vivid in their minds. The trainees couldn't help but tense their bodies and sit up straight, looking forward.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xue Yi said, "Good morning, everyone. Without further ado, I'm sure you have guessed what will happen today."
"Then I'll get started right away."
Xue Yi took out the cards and placed all the cards at the back on the table in front of the trainees, leaving only the red card at the front.
"Now we are at the third performance ranking announcement site. Next, trainees whose names are called, please come behind me."
After he finished speaking, Xue Yi did not give the trainees any chance to discuss or react, and just read out the ranking list without stopping.
"Now we are announcing the third ranking list, ninth place, Ning Sinian."
"Eighth place, Jiang Yanxi."
"Seventh place: Xia Wenhao."
"Sixth place, Xiang Yueting."
"Fifth place, Mu Zhenchu."
"Fourth place, Zhuang Yi."
"Third place, Shang Yu!"
"Second place, Song Chengwang!"
“First place, Chen Xiu!”
Before the trainees could react or even listen carefully, Xue Yi had already finished reading.
After reading the list of names to debut, Xue Yi raised his hand and applauded first: "Let's congratulate them!"
When the trainees below saw Xue Yi clapping, they raised their hands and subconsciously followed suit.
After clapping for a few seconds, Xue Yi raised his hand to make a pause gesture, and then said, "To the trainees whose names were not called, I'm sorry, you are eliminated."
At this time, the trainees finally recovered from their flying pace and looked at the trainees standing on the stage who had successfully entered the ranking list, with their eyes twitching slightly.
If they hadn't seen the nine people whose names were called walk behind Xue Yi, they wouldn't have known who were on the third ranking list.
Teacher Xue’s mouth is really fast!
[I wish I could borrow this mouth when we have a quarrel——From a beautiful woman who often regrets it so much after the quarrel that she cannot sleep at night because of her slow and clumsy mouth]
[Brother Xiu’s ranking never surprises me! 】
[I deeply doubt that Wang Ge’s second place ranking this time is due to the effect of lip studs. The lip studs are really awesome! 】
[The sapphire earrings and the bracelet that Xiubao was wearing were sold out. They cost tens of thousands of dollars. There are so many rich ladies, why can't there be one more for me? Damn it! 】
[The ranking list is exactly what I thought. Xiang Yueting and Xia Wenhao's experience of turning the tide on the "Honkai Impact 3" stage is really a shame for fans, and they are ranked higher than others. 】
[As long as it is voted by fans, it is what they deserve.] 】
Now that they had been eliminated, the trainees thought that they would no longer have to worry about being singled out by Xue Yi for social humiliation, so they gave up and teased Xue Yi.
"Teacher Xue, did you eat chocolate? You speak so smoothly."
"No, no, no, you can tell at a glance that you don't understand. Teacher Xue was afraid that we wouldn't react if he spoke too slowly, so he wanted us to get embarrassed if we misheard the name. Unfortunately, we are smart enough not to be fooled."
"Hahaha, you have a lot of words. I think what you said makes sense. I'll follow you!"
"Teacher Xue, I have something to say that I didn't know whether I should say before, but today I must say it. Teacher Xue, you are really scary. Seeing you gives me nightmares at night!"
"To be honest, Mr. Xue, I have had several nightmares about you. In every dream, you are holding a teaching stick and forcing me to write a song. You are the devil!"
"What's that? I even dreamed that Teacher Xue crawled out of my game console. I almost peed myself in fear!"
The eliminated trainees talked to each other, causing the farewell scene, which was supposed to be filled with sadness, to gradually go off track.
Listening to everyone's chattering, Xue Yi didn't get angry. He looked at everyone with a smile, nodding and joining in the conversation from time to time.
[…This painting style…is completely different from what I imagined! At this point, shouldn’t the eliminated trainees and the successful trainees hug each other, cry and express their reluctance to part with each other or cheer each other on for the future? 】
[Although, but...it seems that this talent show, from the very beginning, both the trainees and the program team are different from the previous talent shows. 】
[Everyone was obviously talking and laughing, but for some reason, looking at this scene, I felt a sense of uneasiness in my heart. 】
[Sister, I understand the feeling you're describing very well. The reason why everyone is like this must be to avoid making each other sad, so they are all forcing themselves to pretend to be happy. After all, it's all for the sake of each other. It's hard not to shed tears on such a united and loving show. Everyone is doing well. 】
[I suspect that Xue Yi read so fast because he was afraid that if he read too slowly, it would make the eliminated trainees feel even more uncomfortable. After all, listening to others’ success in order for a long time is indeed a torture for those who are destined to be eliminated. 】
[Wow, wow, stop talking, stop talking, this is a really good sword! 】
[This makes sense now. My eyes are really wet now...]
The nine people who successfully made it onto the ranking list stood on the stage, looking at the trainees below, silent and without saying a word.
At this moment, they are on the ranking list after all. If they speak up and something goes wrong, it may easily hurt the hearts of the eliminated trainees.
To be on the safe side, everyone knew that it would be best for them not to say anything before the other party spoke.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Xue Yi said, "Everyone calm down. In five minutes, we will start to review the edited version of the training sessions for each group for the third performance."
good evening!
