With an inexplicable apprehension, Su Chengyi watched the last two performances.

Although it is disguised, such a disguise is really not enough in front of people who are familiar with it.

Among the closer friends, it is estimated that only Xu Yang, who is very smart, can't recognize him.

Then we can only pray that no one was watching the show at that time.

In the fiery atmosphere, Su Chengyi quietly glanced down at his mobile phone.

There are no missed calls and unread messages.

Well, that means there's no rollover.

Otherwise, Miss Chu's deadly serial call would have come a long time ago.

Relieved a little, Su Chengyi put his attention back on the stage.

After the contestants finished the performance, they continued to change their costumes, and the unlucky promoter continued to control the field and drag out time.

"Is the next part to read out the debut list?"

Su Chengyi couldn't help but ask.

"How is that possible?"

The well-informed president shook his head very firmly.

"As far as I know, there will definitely be sensational links in this kind of show, which will deceive everyone's tears.

If you see that big screen, please look at VCR! ”

With her sonorous speech, she actually spoke with her words, and a question appeared on the big screen in black on a white background:

"Have you ever denyed yourself and wanted to give up?"

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows in some surprise, shocked by the president's old plan.

The president spread his hands, vaguely proud.

"Look, I know. But this kind of link can't fool me, and the clumsy trick will also deceive the person who chases the star for the first time! ”

Su Chengyi turned his head noncommittally and continued to look at the big screen.

The first person who appeared on the screen was Lin Yishui, her little face was tense, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she tried to listen to the staff's questions.

After a long time, just when Su Chengyi thought that she didn't understand again, she lowered her head a little frustrated and replied:

"Yes."

On the other side, her fan base erupted in a wail of being abused.

"Sometimes, it's slow to speak. Before he could finish speaking, the others walked away. ”

Lin Yishui hung his head and continued to say word by word, like a wandering little golden retriever, looking very pitiful.

Just when the staff was also pitiful and was about to comfort her, she continued:

"But Sister Nishiki will always listen, and if you don't understand, you will listen, so I'm very grateful to her."

"So she's given you a lot, right?"

"Hmm!"

Lin Yishui raised his head, his eyes and tone became very firm at the same time.

When there is light in her eyes, her pupils will be beautiful, like clear sapphires.

"Huh."

When Su Chengyi was looking very seriously, the person next to him suddenly made a strange sound.

Turning his head slightly puzzled, the president's expression management was out of control, and he couldn't hold back.

"Woo woo woo why are we Jinzhi so good, I can't stand it, really!"

Who was just saying that this kind of clumsy trick can't deceive people

The picture on the big screen cut to the next place, Zhong Xingyue.

Su Chengyi originally thought that her character would never say that she had denied her thoughts, but she smiled bitterly and replied:

"To be honest, I don't want to admit it. But after coming to the show, I have been denying myself.

Sometimes I ask myself, why can't you do it, but someone else can?

For the first time in eight years, I felt like I couldn't hold on and wanted to give up. ”

When she said this, there was a sigh in the audience.

The fans holding the Xingyue lantern sign had some tears, and they were already crying profusely.

Su Chengyi also felt a little emotional, and for a while felt that those who could persist until now and stay until the end were actually very amazing people.

"As someone who has already been out of the Tao once, I still don't do this well, I feel that I may really not be suitable for this industry."

Nan Yun smiled softly and raised her head again, as if holding back tears.

"If it fails this time, I'll probably need time to think about it.

Sometimes, giving up is a harder choice than persevering.

But, as you know, failure always runs through life. ”

Xu Yang watched this paragraph and must not be tortured to death.

Su Chengyi couldn't help but think.

He actually likes Nan Yun a lot, and hopes that she can make her debut.

She looks like Han Bing, but her timbre and temperament make him think of Lin Zhiwan.

By the end of the video, the contestants were back on stage, all looking intently at the big screen.

Su Chengyi saw Chen Jinzhi standing not far away, she changed back into her original uniform, and in a trance, she seemed to be wearing a middle school uniform.

"Why doesn't the VCR have a shot of Nishikiyuki?"

The president wiped away his tears and realized that there was a problem.

"The program team won't be so cheap, right? The footage of the last interview was also cut, so I said how to release the footage of other people's praise so generously. ”

Yes, why wasn't Chen Jinzhi interviewed?

Su Chengyi couldn't help but look up at where she was standing, her side face looked very quiet, and she seemed to have known the fact that the program team had interviewed everyone except her.

At this point, a new subtitle appears on the screen.

"When you want to deny yourself"

As soon as the picture turned, a very kind-looking middle-aged couple appeared holding a little white dog.

The background is very simple, like an ordinary warm family.

"Yunyun, when are you going home? Mom and Dad miss you.

From the time you enter the industry, you go home very rarely.

Look, your puppy has grown so big."

At this time, Nan Yun, who had been pretending to be calm, finally couldn't hold on, squatted down and cried.

The next one to appear is a blonde and blue-eyed foreign woman, who knows whose head it is without introduction.

Many viewers in the audience also recognized the famous director, and immediately let out a cry of surprise.

"Honey, how are you doing? Sad?

Mom has chased every episode of the show, you are really good, although you still dance like a scarecrow.

The show is coming to an end, is the task of making friends done? ”

A parent who has a completely different style of painting just now.

Lin Yishui's position was very close to Su Chengyi's side, so he clearly saw her bow her head and muttered angrily:

(Not really.) ）”

Quan Eun-yeon's parents are exactly the same as the elite parents imagined by Su Chengyi, facing the camera as if they were holding a press conference.

"Eun-yeon, you have to thank you for being born in a good time.

So that you can have the opportunity to chase your dreams and do whatever you want.

In our day, it was a no-brainer."

Her father said solemnly, and her mother slapped him with her elbow, and then he put away his serious expression and said with a smile:

"Of course, you've been great. Daughter, mom and dad love you very much.

If you feel tired, come back and inherit the family business. Oh, and that can't be said either? ”

After being stunned again, he hurriedly got up and turned off the camera.

"What the hell are you talking about? What a shame! ”

Jeon Eun-yeon screamed and hid her face behind her palm.

Zhong Xingyue's family is not the same as Su Chengyi imagined, and he thought that her character would be cultivated by Quan Enyan's family.

Unexpectedly, it was a large group of people who appeared on the scene, all holding Xingyue lanterns in their hands.

"Come on Xingyue baby! Our whole family is your fan! ”

A little boy also shouted in a milky voice:

"Come on, sister! I've already asked my classmates to vote for you! ”

"Don't come on, don't come on, it's better to get rid of it early and come back to accompany my old man more."

An old man with a teacup waved his hand and sang the opposite.

"Dad! What are you talking about! It's going to be broadcast."

Mother Zhong, who had been smiling in front of the camera for several minutes, let out a sharp pop.

I'm sorry everyone, my family is like this, the family is alive, and I'm smiling."

Zhong Xingyue covered her face, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

This is too far from the careerist villain image she created before, but it is quite good.

The audience couldn't help but laugh.

Su Chengyi was just about to hook the corners of his mouth, when he suddenly saw Chen Jinzhi in the corner who raised his head slightly and looked intent.

He knew why she wasn't the only one who didn't give that interview.

Because she is the only one who has no family to provide follow-up footage.

The screen goes black again, and new subtitles appear.

"When you want to deny yourself, when you want to give up.

Don't forget to look back.

Your family will always be your strongest backing and the most die-hard fan. ”

Murder and heart.

Su Chengyi almost didn't dare to look at Chen Jinzhi's expression at this moment.

He looked away, only to see her hidden behind her, her fingers clutching the microphone so hard that they turned slightly white.

When she saw that the other players had the support of their relatives and had a warm way out, what was she thinking?

Is it thinking of my mother who has been dead for many years, or thinking of that damn father who has no real name.

Why should she be allowed to witness the happiness of others like this?

Don't you think it's too cruel?

Her fans around her were apparently aware of the situation, and everyone was eerily quiet, and they could almost hear the sound of pent-up emotions.

Until the promoter held the microphone and began to read out the debut list, the atmosphere of silence continued.

Su Chengyi lowered his head, his thoughts a little confused.

I knew I wouldn't let her come to this damn show.

"It's okay, it's okay, we wrote to her."

The elder kept repeating this sentence with his eyes straightened and gritted his back molars.

Su Chengyi felt that she could hear her teeth creaking.

That's right, what about the gifts that the program team asked fans to prepare?

Thinking of this, he raised his head again to look at the stage.

The 20 contestants stood on the stage in two rows, and opposite them were 11 seats, and only those whose names were read were eligible to sit on them.

The rankings were announced from 10th place, and 11th place was left to last.

Su Chengyi had no intention of paying attention to others, just looking at Chen Jinzhi's figure.

In the last issue, she was obviously ranked first, but she stood silently on the edge of the team as usual.

Looking at the past from Su Chengyi's point of view, her slightly pale side face loomed, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

The promoter's words to announce the rankings are not straightforward, and they are always procrastinating.

When he describes the characteristics of this person, the camera will give several players who match the characteristics, and wander in them, creating suspense.

The hearts of the fans in the audience were pinched to death by such means.

The tenth place is the ranking that Nanyun fans are looking forward to, and Su Chengyi feels that they are so nervous that they are about to be drained by lack of oxygen.

But alas, it wasn't her.

The trainee whose name was read cried and gave a speech, then walked to the position marked with the number "10" and sat down.

This link was repeated several times, and when it was announced to the fourth place, Su Chengyi heard a more familiar name.

"This is a foreign player, her Mandarin is not good, and she often makes everyone laugh"

As soon as the promoter's words came out, the camera immediately showed Quan Eunyan and Lin Yishui.

These two people are both legendary royals, Quan Enyan smiled heartlessly, and Lin Yishui's face was still frozen.

"She's always full of energy and brings joy to everyone. She is NS Entertainment - Jeon Eun-yeon! ”

"Yay!!"

Jeon Eun-yeon doesn't have a microphone, but her excited voice has its own reverberation.

She pushed aside the crowd that had gathered to congratulate her, and first threw herself into Chen Jinzhi's arms.

Thanks to her actions, Su Chengyi was finally able to see Chen Jinzhi's face.

She lowered her head and smiled lightly, and touched Jeon Eun-yeon's head very fondly.

When she gave her speech, recalling the super hard days of these three months, Jeon Eun-yeon burst into tears.

"There are a lot of times these days when I want to run away, woo woo, thank you all for always supporting me and keeping me going until the end.

Nishiki-no-Ni, I said I would go to the end with you, and I'll wait for you above. ”

Su Chengyi listened to her speech and couldn't help but think, these three months are simply a concentrated Mandarin training camp, and her and Sister Lin's Mandarin have improved rapidly.

"Congratulations to our sister Eun-yeon on her successful debut. Next, the third place will be announced."

As soon as the initiator spoke, the camera was given to Chen Jinzhi.

"What do you mean?!"

The chairman immediately bounced up like a frightened bird, and dared to say that Chen Jinzhi was the third place, and she was going to die with the bomb and the program team.

"This player has shown great quality and has maintained a lot of popularity throughout."

Well, ambiguous words.

"She's very charismatic on stage and she's a 'big game' player."

Even Su Chengyi was a little panicked at this time.

"She just asked us to congratulate the individual trainee, Zhong Xingyue!"

？？？

There was an uproar in the audience.

Originally, everyone thought that it would be her and Chen Jin's final C position, but they didn't expect her to leave the scene early.

There was a commotion at the location of Zhong Xingyue's fans, but she herself did not show any unexpected emotions.

"Thank you very much for supporting me until now, this show has made me grow a lot and made me a better version of myself."

Her speech was also brief, and she took her place with a deep bow.

Then there is no suspense in the last one or two, and the promoter raised his hand to signal.

"Invite Iris Chen Jinzhi, a trainee of NS Entertainment Company, and Lin Yishui, a personal trainee, to come to the center of the stage."

Lin Yishui looked a little nervous, Chen Jinzhi smiled at her slightly, and nodded again to show encouragement.

Su Chengyi looked at Lin Yishui's expression and suddenly understood why she was nervous.

She didn't want the C position, she was afraid that her good mother would give the program team too many benefits, and she was nervous just because she didn't want to grab Chen Jinzhi's C position.

The two walked to the center of the stage together, ready for the final announcement of the results.

"What are the mood of the two of you now, please say a few words first."

The promoter handed the microphone over.

Lin Yishui took it and was silent for a long time, as if he was speaking.

Everyone waited patiently, and she finally spoke slowly:

"Fans, everybody loves me. I know, thank you.

Mom, I've got good friends. ”

It's been a lot of hard work for this guy to be able to say that.

When the cheers rang out, Lin Yishui leaned sideways and gently hugged Chen Jinzhi, as if announcing to the world that this was the good friend she had made.

"Okay, then Iris, let's get the microphone."

After the promoter said this, the staff came up from the side and handed the promoter a box.

Su Chengyi recognized it at a glance that it was his box.

Good guys, the door-picking program team didn't even change the box.

"We regret that we did not contact Iris's family during the interview session.

But we've commissioned our fans to prepare other gifts for you.

Now open it up and take a look. ”

Chen Jinzhi was obviously unaware, and her gaze briefly glanced at the azure light sign, as if to say, "You guys are actually hiding it from me."

She opened the box carefully, first pulling out a letter from it.

"Dear Iris, when you read this letter, you are at the center of this journey, about to usher in your grandest flower.

After becoming the president of your support club, I have met many fans who love you as much as I do.

They come from all over the world, speak with all kinds of accents, and the only thing that remains constant is that they all sing your lyrics.

Whenever I live the life of a social animal day in and day out, I always think of you.

It's like a black-and-white movie that suddenly has color, and you always have the magic of such a miracle.

Nishiki, happy debut.

Please take all of our dreams and run forward with your ears covered.

We will always love you, support you, and stand behind you.

- All members of the Iris Fan Support Association. ”

When Chen Jinzhi reads the last few sentences, he always pauses briefly to calm his breathing.

She was holding back her tears.

She has never liked to cry, let alone on such occasions.

Su Chengyi looked up at her and finally showed a somewhat fragile expression, and he actually felt that his eyes were a little blurry.

After the short letter was finished, the surrounding fans were already crying.

Chen Jinzhi carefully put away the envelope, took out the necklace in the box, and saw a few simple words on the greeting card below.

The dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the handwriting is very familiar.

"I've worked hard for you along the way. Happy graduation. ”

Her fingers seemed to tremble a little when she wore the necklace, and she repeated it several times before fastening it.

Taking the microphone, Chen Jinzhi raised his eyes to look at the camera, and the tears that slipped down were even more dazzling than the diamonds on the necklace.

"Thank you for walking me through this journey. This summer, I have no regrets. ”

She bowed deeply, and when she got up again, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

At this moment, a poem suddenly came to mind.

I know that the world is as short as dew,

Yet, yet. ”

At this time, Chen Jinzhi's gaze suddenly looked over from afar.

From such a distance, she couldn't see herself under the pitch-black stage, Su Chengyi was sure.

But he couldn't help but look at her.

There were thousands of people present, and only Su Chengyi knew why Chen Jinzhi mentioned this poem at this time.

He had read it to her.

On the rooftop of No. 1 Middle School, an ordinary morning reading class.

The morning light is faint, and everything wakes up.

The two leaned on the railing to blow the wind, and Su Chengyi thought of this short poem for no reason, so he read it out casually.

At that time, Chen Jinzhi seemed to have answered something, but it was blown away by the wind, and he didn't hear it clearly.

I only remember that the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone down, and her whole body was shrouded in such a gentle golden light.

At this time, the spotlight under the dreamy silhouette.

She in her memories and her on the stage spoke together, and the dissipated voice sounded in her ears again.

"—and yet, I have seen the first rays of darkness approaching."

"Congratulations to NS Entertainment trainee Iris, who made his debut in the C position!"
