"So that's how it is, melon." Ling Yi smiled and patted him on the back. "It's good that it's not broken. Otherwise, it would affect our return."
"You're heartless."
Ling Yi grinned. "Yes, you're the big bad wolf of Siberia. I'm the Chihuahua."
"You're amazing." Pei Tingsong rubbed his legs a few more times and slowly put them down. Ling Yi led him to He Ziyan's workshop. He heard that the composer was also there.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Pei Tingsong entered the workshop, he saw Fang Juexia sitting next to He Ziyan. The two seemed to be discussing something. When they heard someone come in, they naturally looked up. However, the moment he saw Pei Tingsong, Fang Juexia lowered his head again.
This unnatural behavior reminded Pei Tingsong that he hadn't explained the misunderstanding to Fang Juexia yet.
Pei Tingsong coughed twice and walked over. "Well, Juexia Ge …"
"Huh?" Ling Yi's ears were sharp and she didn't hold back. "Why is Yao 'er so sweet today? You're calling him brother?"
He Ziyan also interrupted. "Did Juexia have something on Xiao Pei?"
Fang Juexia guessed that Pei Tingsong wanted him to hide the fact that he came out of the closet on WeChat today. It seemed that no one knew. Although he didn't understand why Pei Tingsong suddenly told him such a private topic, he thought about it carefully. Pei Tingsong grew up abroad and was used to being free and open. It was normal for him to be self-conscious early.
Once the logic was self-consistent, Fang Juexia successfully convinced himself.
Since he didn't tell anyone, it was better to lie for him and change the topic. With such a kind thought, Fang Juexia said, "He's actually …"
He only managed to say four words when his mouth was suddenly covered. The culprit was Pei Tingsong, who was standing behind him.
"What is it?" Pei Tingsong put on a fake smile. "I'm a younger brother. A younger brother should be called elder brother."
He Ziyan laughed. "That's reasonable and irrefutable."
Ling Yi felt strange and wanted to stretch out her hand to pull Pei Tingsong's hand away, but Pei Tingsong held her hand tightly and refused to let go.
"Do you have any secrets that you haven't told us?" Ling Yi's face was full of suspicion. "Miss, remember to photoshop me into a full set of Detective Conan. There's only one truth …"
"Yes, there's only one," Pei Tingsong interrupted him. "We have a little secret that we don't want to tell you. Don't pry. You're not my favorite anymore, Ling Xiaoyi."
He Ziyan applauded. "Single bet, you're awesome."
Pei Tingsong let go of her hand and pulled a chair to sit in front of Fang Juexia. She raised her eyebrows at him, a clear warning.
I didn't want to say anything. Fang Juexia felt that his words were superfluous, so he didn't say anything. His skin was very white and very thin. Pei Tingsong's fingers left a red mark on his skin.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk …" Ling Yi came in front of the camera with a pained expression. She pretended to cry and snot. "This part must not be cut. Ling Yi is now a woman who has been abandoned. Now, flood the bullet screen with comments. Pei Tingsong is a heartless man. Please give face to the abandoned woman! "
Even the composer, who had been watching, couldn't help but laugh. "Yiyi is such a waste of talent to be the lead singer. She should go to the actors' department."
Fang Juexia was also amused by Ling Yi. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up slightly. Pei Tingsong felt that the ice on his usually cold face suddenly broke and rippled. He stretched out his long leg and quietly kicked Fang Juexia under the table. Seeing that his mind had returned to his body, he turned his face slightly. He still didn't say anything and just looked at him with a smile.
"Is it funny?" The others were chatting happily, but Pei Tingsong spoke to him in a low voice.
His voice was very special. It had a low tone that didn't match his extremely youthful face. Perhaps it was because people who grew up speaking English had a stronger resonance in their chest. Logically speaking, in a noisy environment, low voices were the easiest to be covered. However, these three words fell directly into Fang Juexia's ears. He wasn't sure if it was the sound that reached him first or if it was his eyes that saw Pei Tingsong's teasing smile first.
Fang Juexia pursed his lips and turned his head in an indifferent manner. He had been calm for a long time and had long been used to having no emotions. However, he often panicked because of Pei Tingsong.
No one had taught him how to get along with people like Pei Tingsong.
Jiang Miao and Lu Yuan also rushed back. Everyone and the staff started the first round of demo selection. Fang Juexia's phone vibrated. He looked down and saw that it was a message from Pei Tingsong.
[Kaleido Pei Tingsong: I typed the wrong message. It's a 'notice', not a 'comrade'. Sexual orientation may be the only biological rule in my life that I have to cater to the public.]
The moment he sent the message, Pei Tingsong suddenly had a thought in his mind. What if Fang Juexia was gay? Otherwise, why would there be such a rumor? Even if it was fake …
Fang Juexia stared at the screen and scrolled up to look at the message he had sent earlier. Thinking about it this way, the logic of this message made more sense than him suddenly coming out of the closet, so he naturally accepted it. Just as he was about to reply, a second message popped up in the dialog box.
[Kaleido Pei Tingsong: Of course, I don't have any opinions about being gay. I'm just trying to explain.]
Fang Juexia's thoughts weren't as meticulous as Pei Tingsong's. His way of thinking was straightforward and simple, so he didn't understand anything from this sentence. In addition, He Ziyan was talking to him, so he could only give a brief reply.
[Nothing but beauty: Okay.]
Okay?
Okay???
Pei Tingsong was getting angrier and angrier. They all said that he was a man of steel, but this guy was the real steel. He didn't know how much sympathy he had for him in the message he had edited.
He threw the phone into his pocket and ignored it.
The discussion about the new class lasted all afternoon. It was time to go back to the dormitory to rest, but the live broadcast of the gala disrupted the rhythm. It was rare to have a stage, so they practiced hard until three o 'clock in the morning.
Ever since Pei Tingsong and Fang Juexia appeared on the hot search, the online discussion about Kaleido had been polarized. Except for the passers-by who were attracted to them and the passers-by who didn't care, everyone else still looked down on them. They scolded them for not having the ability and only relying on hype. They couldn't wait to trample on their new talent.
This was normal, and Fang Juexia was especially clear-headed.
They were a boy group. What made them secure was not their popularity, but their ability on the stage.
They practiced non-stop for two consecutive days. Except for the year-end awards ceremony in the year of their debut, this was Kaleido's second large-scale gala since their debut. Cloud Vision was the largest video website platform in the country. Everyone attached great importance to it, even though it was just a substitute.
On the 29th day of the New Year, which was the day of the official performance, they found that the stylists who had been criticized before were no longer there. The company had specially changed the styling team.
Fang Juexia's stage makeup also changed. In the past, his birthmark was mostly covered with concealer, but this time, the new makeup artist used a similar red eyeshadow to draw out the outline and connect it to the corner of his eye. The eye makeup was light, and only highlighted the key point of the left corner of his eye. His brown hair was permed and curled, and his bangs fell down. Coupled with the gray satin shirt he was wearing, he looked decadent.
Fang Juexia had never been picky about his style, but he felt that this time was quite special. He glanced at the others in the mirror. The team leader's one-off blue hair was eye-catching, and He Ziyan's red hair was also very cool. His eyes finally fell on Pei Tingsong's new style. Usually, Pei Tingsong's private clothes were more juvenile, but this time, his hairstyle was neat and clean. His forehead hair was blown into a one-sided comma, and he also wore a pair of narrow-framed gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like an elite in the workplace, and it was very compatible with his dark gray suit.
"You guys are now on the hot search list. In addition to attracting new fans, there must be a lot of doubts. This is very normal." Cheng Qiang began his daily guidance in the dressing room. "This is a rare opportunity. I'm not worried about your ability. As long as you perform at your normal level, it will be great!"
It was rare for Ling Yi to be given a Wolf Run Hairstyle by the stylist. He was so happy that he almost completely ignored Cheng Qiang's words. "Ah, I like this hairstyle. It made me five centimeters taller!"
"Five centimeters is not enough." Pei Tingsong chewed bubble gum and blew a bubble.
"Shut up!"
"Brother Qiang, can we go eat skewers when we're done?" Lu Yuan looked up at Cheng Qiang. It was rare for her to be so well-behaved after just blowing on his hair.
"Okay, no problem. Everyone, perform well. Chang Ge will treat us tonight! "
Due to the sudden change in the itinerary and the fact that Kaleido was not a heavyweight among the many guests, the number of seats available for fans was very limited. Even so, the Domino fans who were present did their best to support their idols. Every girl carried a heavy kaleidoscope support light and a Klein blue light sign, patiently waiting for the six big boys to appear.
The party did not make a rigid requirement for the microphone to be on. Many groups and individuals who appeared in front of them were half-on or talking to each other. However, Kaleido's team insisted on having all the microphones on. The accompaniment provided was so pure that there was almost no sound.
During the rehearsal, Fang Juexia felt that something was wrong. The headphones provided by the organizers did not work well, and the reception was very poor. Cheng Qiang simply brought the six handheld microphones that their company had spent a lot of money to buy.
They were very clear about where their advantages were.
This was an era where victory and defeat were determined by their strengths.
"I'm so nervous, so nervous. According to the script, there were still two more performances before it was their turn. Ling Yi kept muttering to the group camera they brought. "I feel like I haven't sung live for a long time. What if I do a split later?"
Lu Yuan massaged his shoulders. "If you do a split, I'll continue it for you. Shui Shui and I will each continue a split."
"You can't continue his three sopranos." Jiang Miao laughed.
He Ziyan said, "he can do three sopranos."
"Then let Juexia do it." Lu Yuan winked at Juexia. "Juexia will sing three sopranos."
Everyone was chatting and playing games backstage. Not long after, they received a summons in their earphones. After cheering each other on, they went on stage.
"Welcome to the new popular idol group, Kaleido!" The two hosts welcomed them to the middle. "Welcome, welcome. Kaleido, this is your first time at cloud television network's gala, right? Say hello to the audience."
The captain looked at the team members around him. "One, two, three. Hello, everyone!"
"We are Kaleido!" The six of them made a K sign in unison and then bowed to all the audience.
"Wow, this sign is really cool." The female host imitated and said, "Then, Kaleido, do you want to take this opportunity to wish the audience below the stage and in front of the live broadcast a new year? Everyone is looking forward to it."
"Each of you can say one sentence." Jiang Miao turned her head to look at He Ziyan, who was standing on the far left. He understood and picked up the microphone. "Happy New Year. I wish everyone a great fortune in the New Year."
The audience immediately burst into laughter. No one expected this group to be so honest.
Then, Lu Yuan said, "Be happy and smile often."
Jiang Miao smiled and said, "I hope everyone and their families can be as happy and happy as they are now in the New Year."
Ling Yi said, "Those who want to be single will be single. Those who don't want to be single will be able to earn big money!"
It was Fang Juexia's turn. He thought carefully and finally came up with a very simple wish. "I wish everyone success in their work and progress in their studies."
In fact, he was a little curious about what Pei Tingsong would say. After all, with his personality, he was not the kind of child who would honestly wish adults a happy New Year and say auspicious words when he was young.
He even tried to imagine the scene quite seriously.
He looked sideways at the boy beside him and smiled as he raised the microphone. "I hope everyone can realize their dreams."
This sentence was unexpected to Fang Juexia, but it was reasonable.
It was indeed like Pei Tingsong.
After a short interaction, the performance officially began. As the lights changed, the six people quickly stood in formation. The previous suite was requested to be cut because of the length of the song. During the rehearsal, it was adjusted to the debut song of the same name — "Kaleido".
It had been too long since he stepped on a real stage. Fang Juexia held the microphone tightly and took a deep breath. His heart was beating very fast. These days of high-intensity practice were just for this moment. This scene was too important for them. This was the key strike they had been waiting for.
They could only succeed, not fail.
The lights came on again, and the familiar prelude sounded on the stage.
No.
No.
Fang Juexia narrowed his eyes. In the opening position of the double lead dance, he quickly exchanged a look with Lu Yuan beside him. He raised his finger and pointed to his earpiece. Lu Yuan quickly nodded.
There was a problem with the earpiece. It was full of the background noise, almost drowning out the accompaniment that was supposed to be transmitted. It was not working at all. The fans below the stage were very close to the stage. Although there were not many people, their screams were very loud. It was difficult for them to hear the sound on stage.
In such a large open-air venue, there was a sea of audience. There was no earpiece.
His heart sank.
When he saw Pei Tingsong raise his head, Ling Yi was shocked. "Oh, why are you crying? If you didn't write, then don't write. Why are you crying?"
Pei Tingsong gritted his teeth. "I hit my leg …"
"So that's how it is, melon." Ling Yi smiled and patted him on the back. "It's good that it's not broken. Otherwise, it would affect our return ~"
"Cruel and unscrupulous."
Ling Yi grinned. "Yes, you're the big bad wolf of Siberia. I'm the Coco Love Chihuahua."
"You're good." Pei Tingsong rubbed his leg a few times and slowly put it down. Ling Yi led him to He Ziyan's studio. It was said that the composer was also there.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Pei Tingsong entered the studio, he saw Fang Juexia sitting next to He Ziyan. The two of them seemed to be discussing something. When they heard someone come in, they naturally looked up. However, the moment he saw Pei Tingsong, Fang Juexia lowered his head again.
This unnatural behavior reminded Pei Tingsong that he had not explained the misunderstanding to Fang Juexia.
Pei Tingsong coughed twice and walked over. "Well, Juexia Ge …"
"Eh?" Ling Yi's ears were sharp and she was merciless. "Why is Yao 'er's mouth so sweet today? You're calling him brother?"
He Ziyan also interrupted. "Did Juexia have something on Xiao Pei?"

"There's only one truth," Pei Tingsong interrupted him. "That is, we have a little secret that we don't want to tell you. Don't pry. You're not my favorite anymore, Ling Xiaoyi."
He Ziyan clapped. "Single bet. Awesome."
Pei Tingsong let go of his hand and pulled a chair to sit in front of Fang Juexia. He raised his eyebrows at him, obviously warning him.
I didn't want to say anything. Fang Juexia felt that his words were superfluous, so he decided not to say anything. His skin was very white and very thin. Pei Tingsong's fingers left a red mark on his skin.
"Tsk tsk tsk …" Ling Yi came in front of the camera with a pained expression. She pretended to cry and snot. "This part must not be cut. Ling Yi is now a woman who has been abandoned.
