Chapter 22: 3rd performance content announced
After the happy day, the trainees returned to their nervous mood.
Today is the day to announce the second performance rankings. Fang Langxing and his team sat quietly aside, but the other trainees were not as calm as them.
Some people have already started crying, some are holding each other's hands and praying, and some are even patting the shoulders of those around them to say goodbye.
"That's Fang Langxing." A voice called out from behind Fang Langxing. Fang Langxing turned around and saw that it was the shy boy he had met before.
Before Fang Langxing could answer, the boy continued, "Can I talk to you alone?"
Fang Langxing naturally had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and followed the boy.
"What does he want to see Lang'er for?" Mu Tianya muttered unhappily.
Yun Zhao and Ruan Tianxi, who are very active, have already planned to secretly go and take a look.
"Brother will be unhappy." Zuo Chi grabbed the arms of the two men and said seriously.
Lin Jingmo noticed that Fang Langxing followed the boy away. Although he knew rationally that there were cameras and flying insects everywhere and nothing would happen, he was still emotionally focused on that side.
Hua Xinyi and Duan Hanyun stared at Fang Langxing's back, not knowing what he was thinking.
[As soon as Lang'er left, everyone's attention was obviously not focused.]
[Hey, Lang'er, you're just going to say a few words to me. Don't love the kids too much.]
[Sometimes I really feel like I’m watching a dating variety show. Really, just look at the atmosphere. Who dares to say it doesn’t look like it?]
[I understand you, sister. By the way, I stand with all]
Fang Langxing followed the boy to the corner and waited for someone to speak.
But the boy seemed to be very conflicted. After hesitating for a long time, he finally took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "My name is Song Ziyan."
After saying his name, Song Ziyan didn't continue for a long time. Fang Langxing responded hesitantly: "Ah, hello?"
"I actually admire you very much." After Fang Langxing spoke, Song Ziyan seemed to be encouraged by something, as if he suddenly had the courage, and continued: "I am also jealous of you. You are surrounded by excellent people, and you are also so outstanding. You are completely different from me. You can easily complete the things that I have always liked to study hard. I really, really can't accept it."
Listening to Song Ziyan's self-confession, Fang Langxing's expression gradually became complicated. Is this kid so blatantly saying that he is jealous of others in front of everyone watching the live broadcast? Isn't he afraid of being scolded? Thinking of this, Fang Langxing planned to interrupt him and stop him from speaking.
But Song Ziyan seemed to see Fang Langxing's purpose and took a step back: "Actually, I became a trainee and participated in this program because I wanted to be someone like you. Ever since I saw the shining idols on TV when I was six years old, I have always wanted to be that kind of person, but I can't speak, and I want to hide when there are too many people around. In fact, when I participated in this program, I also wanted to give it one last try."
At this point, Song Ziyan's eyes turned red, tears welled up in them. He wiped them away casually and continued, "I had planned to give up my dream as my parents wished if I was eliminated, but now I don't plan to do that. I will continue to work hard until the day I realize my dream."
Fang Langxing didn't know what to say. He didn't understand what this had to do with him, but since he was about to cry in front of him, shouldn't he comfort him? Fang Langxing was thinking in a mess, his hands hesitantly stopped in the air.
Song Ziyan noticed Fang Langxing's discomfort, grinned, and said with a smile: "So can you give me a hug?"
"Ah? Oh, okay." Fang Langxing was completely confused and agreed vaguely.
Song Ziyan pulled Fang Langxing into his arms. Fang Langxing then realized that Song Ziyan was a little taller than him, probably a little over 178 meters. He had just measured himself and was exactly cm tall. How could he be taller than him? Fang Langxing was unhappy, but then he calmed himself down by thinking that he was only years old and could still grow taller.
Fang Langxing felt that he was being hugged tightly, but Song Ziyan quickly let him go, bowed to him and ran away.
Fang Langxing was left confused: What?
[I want to hug Lang Er too! ! ! ]
[Really? I didn't realize that Song Ziyan is taller than Lang'er? ]
[What does he mean? Is he trying to take advantage of Lang Er's popularity? ]
[I don’t understand this operation, and it seems that Lang’er doesn’t understand it either? ]
Fang Langxing returned to his teammates. As soon as he sat down, Mu Tianya next to him couldn't wait to speak: "Lang'er, what did he say to you?"
"It's just a normal conversation?" Fang Langxing looked at Mu Tianya puzzledly. Why did he look unhappy? A bit like a puppy whose owner went out to play with someone else.
"Then why did he hug you?" Mu Tianya was still unhappy and said to Fang Langxing.
"He told me about his mental journey, and then asked me if I could hug him, and I agreed." Fang Langxing thought for a moment and asked, "We are all grown men, so it's okay, right?"
"That won't work. We haven't hugged each other yet!" Mu Liunian followed Mu Tianya and the others nodded.
"Hold them all! Hug them all!" Fang Langxing was speechless. He opened his arms and was hugged by his teammates in turn.
"Okay!" An Lingyun clapped his hands on the stage: "It's time to announce the rankings. I'll report it later."
Fang Langxing let go of Hua Xinyi, who was the last in line, and looked at An Lingyun on the stage, who looked like he was listening to the class seriously.
The ranking was as Fang Langxing expected. They were in first place again. In addition, the team that Song Ziyan was in also advanced smoothly and ranked third. The second place was the team of the young producer that Fang Langxing was optimistic about.
Fang Langxing looked in the direction of Song Ziyan, but the other party didn't dare to look him in the eye and quickly lowered his head to avoid him.
Fang Langxing suddenly realized: This kid must have thought that he was going to be eliminated, so he mustered up the courage to look for him? !
After that, every time Fang Langxing saw Song Ziyan turning around and leaving when he saw him, he would think: It seems that I guessed right, this kid is really...
[Song Ziyan looks a bit cute from this point of view? I want to eat her a bit]
[No no no, sister, is it not good for our team to be good? Was it not good to be jealous and take turns to hug each other before? ? ! ]
[Taking everything will only harm you! ! ]
【Wake up, sister!!!】
But that’s a story for later. Now they are still waiting to release the content of the third challenge.
"For the third performance, all trainees are required to write their own lyrics and music, and then choreograph it to make it a complete song!" An Lingyun himself felt that the content this time was a bit too difficult. How could this be a talent show? It was ridiculously difficult, right? !
The trainees who didn't even have time to say goodbye to their friends had a look on their faces that said 'what the hell are you talking about'.
The eliminated trainees actually had a hint of relief on their faces, and their eyes were full of sympathy when they looked at the trainees who remained.
"But don't worry, we have prepared three song templates for you to choose from, and the mentors will also help you." An Lingyun continued, with a soothing tone in his voice.
The trainees don’t know whether they should relax or not. What’s the point of having a template? Their skills are not at that level yet.
But looking at Fang Langxing who was sitting calmly on the side, the trainees sighed again: Well, for those who are capable, it is their destiny to compete with the big guys!
