Chapter 15: You're a Lucky Man
Almost every female trainee in the practice room was in front of a mobile phone screen that was so small for their number - even if they were full of mixed emotions about the competitor and "colleague" who was holding the phone like a baby, the people in the company's many trainees who stood out and entered the "Open Trainee Program", a small group of debut prep students with a new name, have long been accustomed to hiding their hearts deeply.
There is such a ready-made example as Bae Joo-hyun in front of him, and almost everyone is sure that the one who now looks a little pale and stares intently at the mobile phone screen has only been in the company for less than a year, and the "rookie trainee" named Kim Se-jung has embarked on a bright road to the future - whether he can debut or not, but at this time, it is always unwise to offend a female idol who is very likely to make his debut.
So these female trainees who had just finished the practice in groups to go to the bathroom, go to buy supper, and do all kinds of messy things After returning to the practice room, as soon as they saw Jin Shizheng and the Chinese trainee named Dong Shihui staring nervously at the phone, they immediately noticed something - when they came over and asked why these two guys made such a move, they immediately surrounded Jin Shizheng.
Talking about insincere praise.
I tried to squeeze out a smile but couldn't even say a word.
Contribute your own supper just to grab a good position.
I was jealous and just hoped that the MV would be smashed by someone......
In the practice room of the guys who stood at the top of the trainees in the company, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and the dozen or so powerful girls who had already formed several small groups, intrigued with each other, and fought openly and secretly seemed to have become intimate at this moment-in this situation, these female trainees who were more or less with some inexplicable thoughts did not notice that as the oldest and most famous in the small group of the "Open Trainee Program", is also the only two people who have been really disclosed on the Internet, and they are not by their side at this time.
"If it's not this year, maybe it's next year at most, right?"
“…… Well. ”
"If you do the math, it's almost seven years, right?"
“…… Well. ”
"In this world, there is a ...... like Oppa"
"Ernie, I know. ”
Ernie who had been bowing his head deeply all the time, not daring to look at the Ernie sitting opposite him, even the voice he made when responding to the other party's words was so soft that it was almost imperceptible - but when that Ernie spit out the person's name, Jiang Shiqi suddenly raised his head and directly interrupted the words of the Ernie opposite.
Her action made Pei Zhuhyun, who was frowning tightly, finally see Jiang Shiqi's face clearly - I can't tell if it's because of the relatively high intensity of her recent practice, or because she has always been nervous and sneaking to do those "unseemly" things recently, Jiang Shiqi, who has always been a little baby fat, looks a lot thinner at the moment, and even the line of her chin has become a little sharp.
Seeing that Jiang Shiqi, who was the closest to her in the company, had always said nothing in the past, and was even considered to be like her own sister in the eyes of many people, she had become such a look, and she originally felt that this was completely her own fault, and when she pulled the other party out, she also made up her mind to "teach a lesson" of "righteous words" Jiang Shiqi's Pei Zhuxun suddenly softened her heart at this time.
"You...... Shiki, if you know that, why did you do that? If I hadn't told them a lie over there this time, telling them that you were actually eating supper with me at that time, you know you'd ......."
After spending so much time with Bae Joo-hyun, Jiang Shiqi knew too well how determined and principled this Ernie who looked a little weak on the outside was - so when she temporarily found this Ernie in a panic and tried to beg her to help her through the difficulties that could almost be called desperate for her, she didn't have much hope.
Would Bae Joo-hyun lie in front of the staff of the artist management department for her sake? If those people really had to run around like a detective for this matter, wouldn't the two of them be finished together?
No matter how close their relationship is with each other, who can really be relied upon when it comes to their debut and future, and their principles of life? She will encounter this great trouble, isn't it because the person she once trusted so much betrayed her without hesitation and mercilessly in order to save himself?
She didn't understand why the man dragged herself into the water, and used such an inexplicable and despicable reason to drag herself in.
Just as she didn't understand why that person asked herself to find the trainee surnamed Lin, and why she sneaked to the old building again and again to have a "private meeting" with a trainee.
At that time, she always convinced herself that that person must have his reasons, maybe he went to the trainee surnamed Lin, but it was just a cover he was looking for in order to meet her?
It's just that reality is always unforgiving.
ruthless enough to tear a girl's heart into two pieces.
She couldn't understand why that person could become so fast.
Just as she didn't understand why that person didn't even hesitate for a moment after being discovered by the company, he threw all the responsibility on her head so ruthlessly, and then shrank up by herself.
She understood what kind of situation that person was in now, but could he be so ruthless for the sake of his own interests and reputation? What about the so-called feelings, what about the so-called trust?
In the face of interests, what is affection, and what is trust?
Friendship is probably nothing, right?
However, just when Jiang Shiqi was already on the verge of despair because of this sudden blow, and just wanted to make the last struggle-didn't even listen to her explanation, she just opened her mouth, Pei Zhuhyun didn't even say half a word of nonsense, just pursed her lips and followed her directly, and accompanied her to face the two artists who looked like fierce gods and came to this old building from the company's artist management department because of the so-called "explanation" and "testimony" made by that guy The staff who came to investigate and verify it......
And so she survived.
Although she could see that maybe the EXO-M agent had noticed something, so he didn't really believe her and Bae Joo-hyun's words, but in the end, the two people who could decide her "life and death" in a sense just let her go-although the fierce words and warnings sounded terrible, Jiang Shiqi, who had been a trainee in the company for almost seven years, knew that her future and her position had finally been preserved.
After all, now she is already a "trainee" whose identity has been disclosed on the Internet - as long as she behaves down-to-earth, diligent and diligent in the days to come, and makes a new appearance, she will still be the Jiang Shiqi with the oldest, strongest comprehensive strength, and most promising debut.
She thought she was going to cry to death.
However, when she finally survived such a farce that almost plunged her into hell, she resisted the urge to cry - at that moment, looking at Bae Joo-hyun's pale face and worried eyes, she forcibly controlled herself.
Maybe when a person really sees through some things and really understands some truths, when a person really experiences it, he will really mature, right?
She used to always feel that kind of "indifferent" look, how can it be considered gentle?
She always felt that the relationship between them seemed to have become a little weakened, and it was all because the guy deliberately "alienated" them - although the image and status of that guy in her heart had never changed, she was still somewhat dissatisfied and resentful.
So she was always upset about Bae Joo-hyun, thinking that guy was an invincible fool in the universe.
However, now she found that what she thought was "sweet words", what she thought was "caring and considerate", were all just a hypocritical scam - those "sincere" that she thought were all pretended to be false feelings as soon as they encountered an accident, and recalling all the things in the past can only make people shudder.
At this time, she finally realized that she herself was the invincible fool of the universe.
They are not ordinary people who can walk on the street casually, love when they want to love, hate when they want, laugh when they want to laugh, and cry when they want to cry - as an artist, as an idol, as a trainee, what is right and what is wrong?
For her, who has been a trainee for seven years, this is actually a very simple truth, but why does she have to be so hurt that she seems to have really woken up and understood?
Maybe that's the only way to grow, right?
So Jiang Shiqi gritted her teeth and didn't let half a tear slip down her eyes.
He who should have cried, did not cry.
But those who shouldn't be crying look like they're going to cry.
The person who was trained did not cry.
But those who teach look like they're about to weep.
"Ernie, it's me who is sorry for you, it's me who is not good...... I'll never trust that person again, I'll never do such a stupid thing again, I can swear!
She had made up her mind not to shed tears for her innocence and stupidity, but listening to the choked voice of Ernie sitting in front of her, and looking at Pei Zhuhyun's eyes that gradually turned red with the sound of words, Jiang Shiqi only felt that her eye sockets seemed to become warm uncontrollably - even though she had explained and assured Pei Zhuhyun countless times along the way, she still couldn't help repeating these words again at this time.
"I'm sure I believe in you unconditionally, it's just ......"
Probably also sensing that something was not quite right in his state, Bae Joo-hyun wrinkled his nose, rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, and then nodded vigorously as if he wanted to shake off all those weak emotions as a response to Jiang Shiqi, and then continued to speak.
"Just what?"
'Jiang Shiqi, you are really a lucky person, no matter what happens, there will always be someone by your side, sharing the burden for you, relieving your worries, and helping you all the way forward - when the guy who treats you like a sister and will stand behind you at any time is too busy to show up to you, and I can risk my life to lie to you......
If possible, Bae Joo-hyun really wants to spit out all these inner words unceremoniously.
It's just that she knows, she can't say that.
"Do you remember what Oppa used to say to you when you were messing around in the company?"
"Huh?"
"Man, it's not terrible to fall once, it's terrible to fall again in the same place......"
"I've always remembered, Ernie. ”
This kind of conversation seems to have happened a long time ago, when the three of them were still trainees, and when the three of them were still able to run out of the company to eat together often - at that time, the person who said such things in a serious and bitter manner was still the guy who had now become a prince of thousands of female high school students, and at that time, Jiang Shiqi would always use a similar response to perfunctory the guy who shared the food on his plate with the two of them while smiling bitterly......
Only this time, Jiang Shiqi may really remember this lesson in his heart, right?
Jiang Shiqi is really a lucky person - at least there will always be people around her who care about her wholeheartedly and are willing to pay for her, and although she has experienced many difficult moments, she can always turn danger into danger......
Lucky people...... Is it?
Inexplicably, it's like something in the brain that suddenly connects to the wrong channel, obviously sitting with Jiang Shiqi, talking about Jiang Shiqi, and turning her mind about Jiang Shiqi, but when she was sighing at Jiang Shiqi's sister's "good luck" - suddenly, the word that had been bothering her for too long during this time and making her insomnia for I don't know how many nights suddenly appeared in her mind, making her a little trance for a moment.
The dark room, the woman's words.
Lucky people.
Goddess of Luck.
Is there really such a thing as fate in this world?
