Most of Class F had left. The day before the competition, Qi Xingchen went to the dormitory of the surviving Class F to cheer them on at the request of the program team. He also went to Han Qing's dormitory to take a look.
Class A's dormitory was on the top floor. It was called "the top of the pyramid" by the trainees, "the home of the big boss that needs to be looked up to", and so on. Qi Xingchen went up and covered his nose, making a suffocating gesture towards the camera. "Is this the smell of the big boss?"
The assistant asked him, "What's the smell?"
"Rice noodle rolls, oden, fried chicken wings … and smelly socks. Who accumulated socks for so long without washing them?!"
"Hahahaha!" The assistant was amused by him.
In the aspect of variety shows, Qi Xingchen was more mature. He knocked on Han Qing's door while chatting with the assistant.
Han Qing was putting on a facial mask. When she saw who it was, her facial mask almost cracked. "Xing Xing, why are you here?! Hey, you look great today. Your skin is white and rosy. Are you really bare-faced?! "
Qi Xingchen thought that Han Qing was looking for an excuse to praise him, so he didn't care. "… Maybe it's because I've been resting well recently. Who's here? Can I go in and take a look? "
Han Qing pointed out a few names and said embarrassedly, "It's so messy inside. Cameraman, let us go."
How could the cameraman let go of the material? He followed Qi Xingchen and squeezed in.
The trainees who were lying down or tilting sat up straight. When they saw Qi Xingchen, they were all surprised. "Wow, Little Teacher Qi, I only realized that your skin is so good when I look at you up close. You're so handsome!"
Qi Xingchen was speechless.
Was Han Qing telling the truth?
"You guys are not bad either," he praised. "You guys will definitely look good on camera tomorrow."
Everyone played around for a while. Qi Xingchen finally completed his caring mission and quickly slipped back to the nanny van.
However, he didn't leave. He told Old Qin to wait for a while and turned to ask An Ran, "Sister, do I look good?"
"Yes! I wanted to ask you, "An Ran said enviously." Did Jiang Jiang use some new skincare products for you? "
"No, I didn't do anything." Qi Xingchen was puzzled.
After being together with Bai Ye, he often laughed in a daze. After laughing, he would continue to be in a daze. The rest of the time, he would take a shower. He didn't even remember to spray the spray that An Ran gave him, let alone make a facial mask like Han Qing.
How could his skin suddenly become better?
An Ran saw him pinching his cheeks and joked, "It's said that people who fall in love will become prettier and have better skin because of increased dopamine secretion."
Qi Xingchen's hand trembled and a red mark appeared on his fair skin.
An Ran kept her eyes on Qi Xingchen as the two conversed. This action was clearly reflected in An Ran's eyes. Her heart thumped. "Xingxing, you're not in love, are you?"
"I, I'm on the set every day. I'm with you when I go to work. How can I date someone?"
An Ran nodded. "If you're dating someone, you must tell me. Of course, it's best if you're not dating someone. You're on the rise and have a lot of wife-fans and girlfriends. Try not to hurt your fans."
In other words, Qi Xingchen didn't have any works or career fans. He relied on traffic to support his popularity. He mainly relied on fans to support him. If he was in a relationship, a large number of fans would be scared away. The foundation that he had built up in the early stage would be destroyed and he might not be able to recover.
"Yes." Qi Xingchen responded vaguely.
It wasn't that he deliberately hid it from An Ran, but once the news of them being in a relationship spread, it would have a great impact on Bai Ye.
Bai Ye loved the stage so much. He couldn't ruin Bai Ye's passion. He didn't dare to make a mistake.
An Ran felt relieved after getting the answer and continued to scroll through her Weibo.
After waiting for about half an hour, Bai Ye got into the car with A Lun.
Qi Xingchen and Bai Ye were staying in the same hotel. Seeing that they were about to finish filming, he didn't want to trouble Bai Ye's driver. He planned to take Bai Ye back on the way.
Of course, he also had some selfish motives.
The second round of the competition was about to start. Chen Jiayi, Wei Qin, and the other two also returned to the set. Everyone had their own filming tasks. Because of the different end of work hours and because they were afraid of being discovered, they didn't have much time to be alone together after confirming their relationship.
Qi Xingchen looked for a long time and finally found a chance to be alone with Bai Ye.
He moved in hesitantly and Bai Ye naturally sat next to him. A Lun complained, "Boss, the car is so spacious. Why do you have to squeeze with Xing Xing!"
Bai Ye opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Qi Xingchen said, "I don't think it's crowded. It's okay!"
He was afraid that Bai Ye would change seats with A Lun.
Bai Ye glanced at him and smiled silently.
Qi Xingchen realized that he had overreacted just now and said, "If you think it's crowded, I'll sit somewhere else."
"No, it's not crowded." Bai Ye obviously knew what he was thinking. Of course, he did as he wished.
A Lun, who was ignored, clicked his tongue and said, "Boss, you have double standards. It's not like you think I'm noisy and annoying and want me to sit in the next row with you!"
"…" Bai Ye scolded him. "Shut up and sit."
"Okay."
Now that everyone was here, Old Qin started the car. As the car shook, Qi Xingchen's upper body moved with it. His arm accidentally brushed against Bai Ye's arm.
Bai Ye felt his touch. While the others were not paying attention, he moved his hand down and found the other person's palm. He squeezed the soft palm.
His movements were very light, and he moved away with just a touch. A numb feeling spread from his palm. Qi Xingchen clenched his hand tightly to retain the remaining warmth.
At this moment, his phone vibrated. Qi Xingchen took it out and glanced at it.
Bo: [What do you want to eat tonight?]
Qi Xingchen's face gradually turned red.
He was just sitting next to him. Why did he send a WeChat message? It was as if … they were having an affair!
However, he chose to cooperate with Bai Ye: [Let's eat something simple. I have a shoot tomorrow and need to wake up early.]
Bo: [Eat porridge?]
Xing Xing: [Okay!]
Xing Xing: [Speaking of which, A Lun is not a noisy person. Why do you think he's annoying?]
Bai Ye: [Mainly because I want to have some private space after work.]
Private space …
Qi Xingchen thought to himself: [Then am I occupying your private space?]
Bo: [You're also part of my private space.]
"…" Qi Xingchen almost dropped his phone.
It turned out that Bai Ye had already included him in his private space!
Qi Xingchen was a little happy!
Unfortunately, happy times were always short-lived. The car soon arrived at the hotel. Qi Xingchen was a little reluctant to leave. He was reluctant to get out of the car.
Bai Ye also tacitly stayed put. After An Ran and A Lun got out of the car, only the two of them were left in the car. Bai Ye rubbed the little fan's head.
Qi Xingchen was finally happy. Two light creases appeared on his single eyelids.
.
After eating porridge and appetizers in the hotel restaurant, Qi Xingchen and Bai Ye returned to their respective rooms. An Ran had something to discuss with Qi Xingchen, so she went into the room with him.
The two of them talked about the script first. Qi Xingchen said that he wanted to take on an online drama. An Ran had no objections. She was ready to go back to contact the crew of the online drama. Before she left, she said, "Xing Xing, do something tonight. You can post a photo or a short video. Your fans are waiting for you."
Qi Xingchen: "!!!"
Ever since the last episode of the show, he had been thinking about Liang Jing and … accidentally got a boyfriend. He was busy every day and had indeed wasted a few days of his career.
He opened Weibo and was instantly surrounded by his mother's fans, girlfriend's fans, and wife's fans.
[I've been licking the airport photos for a few days. When will my son appear? Mom has been waiting for you!]
[My boyfriend hasn't appeared for the nth day. I miss him, miss him, miss him QAQ]
[Honey, the marriage law allows you to return to your family as soon as possible. It's against the law if you don't appear again.]
[Brother, come out for a while. Even if it's an advertisement, it's fine.]
Qi Xingchen felt a deep sense of guilt as he looked at his fans' sorrowful words. He thought that it was not easy to take photos, so he charged the tablet and turned on the livestream.
The last livestream was before the theme song was accepted. Not many fans were in his livestream room. Five minutes after the livestream notification was sent, the screen began to sparse with comments.
[Baby, the screen is black. Is it lagging?]
"No, thanks for the reminder. I forgot to turn on the camera." Qi Xingchen turned on the camera.
[… Ahhh baby, you've become more handsome! That's cheating. Mom's nose is going to bleed!]
Qi Xingchen joked, "… The weather has been dry recently. Take care of yourself."
[What do you mean by 'take care of yourself'? Hahahaha!]
He liked to make his fans happy. Seeing that there were more and more people, he began to tell jokes seriously. The comments were all [Hahaha].
From time to time, he would look at his phone to check the messages from Bai Ye. This time, he happened to see a new message. Bai Ye asked him: [Have you washed up?]
Xing Xing: [I haven't washed up. I'll start the livestream for a while.]
When the comments saw him lowering his head and playing with his phone, they were also curious: [Xing Xing, what are you playing?]
"Nothing much," Qi Xingchen said. "Brother Ye is explaining the process to me tomorrow."
Obviously, Xing Guang had mixed into the night sky. Immediately, a girl with Bai Ye's profile picture asked: [Brother Ye, have you been tired recently? Have you lost weight?]
Qi Xingchen could not help but recall the time when Bai Ye hugged him.
The other party did not have any extra fat on his body. His figure was really good, and he was also really thin.
He wanted to comfort Night Sky for Bai Ye, but Night Sky's style suddenly changed: [Ahhhhhh, thank you, Little Brother 7!]
？？？ Why did she thank him?
Then, more and more people started to leave comments:
[Thank you, Little Brother Qi!]
[Without Little Brother Qi, I wouldn't be satisfied now!]
[What did I say? There's nothing wrong with waiting for Little Brother 7's livestream!]
Qi Xingchen was confused. 'What are they talking about?!'
At this moment, his phone vibrated again. He thought that it was Bai Ye's reply, so he lowered his head to check.
In the end, it was not WeChat. Instead, it was a livestream message that he had specially followed on Weibo.
… Bai Ye had started a livestream too!
Not to mention Night Sky, even Qi Xingchen was shocked. The number of times Bai Ye had livestreamed could be counted on one hand. It was probably harder to watch him livestream than to watch him post.
Could it be for business? Qi Xingchen placed his thumb on the keyboard and was about to type a question.
Suddenly, a notification popped up on the tablet in front of him: [Bai Ye requests to video connect with you.]
Qi Xingchen: "…"
Qi Xingchen: "!!!"
… What the hell? They lived opposite each other. If they had anything to say or wanted to meet, they could open the door at any time. Why did they have to do a livestream?!
There were hundreds of thousands of fans watching!
No, there were hundreds of thousands here, but Bai Ye had tens of millions.
Qi Xingchen was about to suffocate.
The notification kept ringing. Seeing that he was not moving, the comments urged:
[Baby, hurry up and answer it!]
[Little Brother, are you scared?]
[2333, is Brother Ye trying to cue the process face to face?]
[Brother Ye is so obsessed with showing his face in Xing Xing's livestream. He can either come directly to the room or connect to the livestream himself. What is this? This must be love (heart)]
[CP fans, crawl! Can't you see my 40-meter-long broadsword?]
Last Night's Stars CP fans: … Alright, we've been eating too much candy recently. We're going to dive.
With so many people urging him, Qi Xingchen had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the call.
The livestream app's connection function was a bit like WeChat video. Qi Xingchen's side was the main picture, while Bai Ye's side was the small picture. Qi Xingchen stared at the small picture for a while. After confirming that the other party was dressed neatly and was not wearing only a bathrobe like the last time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Bai Ye automatically greeted: "Hello Xing Guang, I'm Bai Ye."
[Oh, Brother Ye actually knows the name of Little Brother Qi's fan?]
Qi Xingchen also greeted: "Hello Ye Kongs, I'm Qi Xingchen."
[Alright, alright, there's no need for introductions. You're our koi. Ye Kongs loves Brother Ye the most, and loves you the second.]
With Bai Ye in front, Qi Xingchen was not in the mood to look at the bullet screen at all. That person was like a magnet. As long as she appeared, she would constantly attract his gaze and stick it to her.
He restrained himself and did not want to be too attached. He asked the other party, "Why are you calling me?"
Bai Ye said lightly: "Yes, the process."
Qi Xingchen's eyelids twitched. How did the other party know that he was lying?
Could it be … that he watched his livestream?
Watched him talk to his fans for half an hour?
Qi Xingchen wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Bai Ye did not intend to let him go. He actually started the process of asking questions: "What's the first thing to do tomorrow?"
"Announce the rules of the competition," Qi Xingchen said listlessly.
"What's next?"
"The trainees will perform in groups."
"Next?"
"The audience will vote live."
"Finally?"
"The live voting will be weighted and the online voting will be combined. The top 44 will be left according to the highest score."
If it was anything else, Qi Xingchen might not be able to answer. But for the work at hand, Qi Xingchen was not afraid at all. It was all in his mind.
Bai Ye called him on the livestream because he did not have enough affection in the car and was afraid that the little fan would be disappointed. He came here to tease the little fan.
He continued to ask: "What if it's all over?"
He asked this because he remembered the scene of the little fan and the F class crying together after the last episode's filming.
At that time, his heart ached, but he did not know how to coax her. Now that he was the rightful owner, he could hug his little fan until she stopped crying.
Bai Ye looked at the screen softly. The next moment, he heard Qi Xingchen say: "Of course it's to find you for dinner!"
Bai Ye: "…"
Ye Kongs & Xing Guang: [Huh?]
Last Night's Stars CP Fan: [Sob sob sob, it's not that I don't want to crawl. They're always like this. I can't crawl out, I can't crawl out, ah ah ah ah ah!!!]
.
Unsurprisingly, a certain Xing Xing's livestream failed again.
Almost at the same time, "Of course it's to find you for dinner" became the most popular meme in the circle for Xing Guang and Last Night's CP fans.
A fan posted a picture of the scenery and said that the weather was good today. Another fan commented: [The weather is so good, of course it's to find you for dinner!]
A fan posted a newly bought bag. Another fan commented: [Carrying a new bag, of course it's to find you for dinner!]
A fan posted a lot of homework that she could not finish. Another fan commented: [Before doing homework, of course it's to find you for dinner!]
Just like that, Qi Xingchen rose from a handsome young man to a "eating idol."
However, the ones who made the memes were Xing Guang and Ye Kongs. Qi Xingchen still had the face to face his other colleagues.
When he woke up in the morning, he combed his hair into an adult's style and put on a handsome suit. He was still the serious Teacher Qi.
The second round of the competition was the same as what he had said yesterday. After a fierce competition, 44 people were left in the end.
Among them, there was only one person left in Class F. Han Qing successfully advanced and was ranked ninth. There was basically no danger.
After the director finished the meeting and sent off the eliminated trainees of Class F, Qi Xingchen went back to the hotel to pack his things and prepare to go home.
When he went downstairs, he bumped into Bai Ye.
In the seven years of his career, Bai Ye had been trying to learn a variety of music styles. Almost every album was a breakthrough, getting closer and closer to the international mainstream style.
Therefore, in the next round of the competition, the trainees would ask him for advice if they had any doubts. After the process meeting, everyone left. He was the only one who stayed in the practice room to guide the trainees in choosing the direction of composition.
Qi Xingchen was quite happy to see him before he left. He walked up to him with small steps.
Bai Ye asked, "How many days will you be gone?"
"Three days."
"Spend time with your family."
He still had to coax his big brother! Qi Xingchen said, "I know … By the way, that …"
Seeing him hesitate, Bai Ye said helplessly, "Say it."
"Can I …" Qi Xingchen asked tentatively, "Send you a video call every day?"
In the six months they had known each other, they had only video-called twice. If they video-called every day, Qi Xingchen was not sure if Bai Ye would think it was too frequent.
After hearing the question, Bai Ye was even more helpless. He sighed. "Okay."
Hehehe, yay yay yay!
After cheering in his heart, Qi Xingchen suddenly felt a sense of reluctance. He didn't feel bad when he sent off Class F today. Who would have thought that at this juncture, he would be reluctant to leave?
Three days! That was three days!
He had to leave Bai Ye for three whole days!
He blinked and said in a muffled voice, "You finished filming?"
"No, I asked for leave from the trainees."
"You asked for leave to see me one last time?"
Hearing this, Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh. He shook the car keys in his hand. "Of course it's to have dinner with you!"
Qi Xingchen: "…"
Why are you making fun of me?!
Big bad guy, sob!
