Lin Jiayi was so angry, but there was nothing he could do and could only carelessly wander inside the room. When he turned to the other side of the bed, he was absent-minded and stepped on something soft.
When Lin Jiayi looked down, he saw that it was the body pillow which had the face of Gu Yunchen on it, the one he saw on Mu Cai's bed yesterday, and now it had fallen off the bed.
He looked at the cold, ascetic face of Gu Yunchen printed on the body pillow, and for the first time, he felt a little irritation towards his cousin. Lin Jiayi looked back at Mu Cai and saw the other party was still dabbing something on his face, so he turned back and stretched out his foot and stepped on the pillow two more times.
The suffocation in his chest dissipated quite a bit!
Lin Jiayi felt the effect was amazing but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little self-doubt.
What's wrong with him? How could he be so happy after stepping on Brother Gu's body pillow?
Just then Mu Cai finally finished messing with his face. He cleaned up the things on the table and said without turning back, "I'm done, let's go down."
Lin Jiayi hurriedly withdrew his foot, took a few steps back while pretending to be impatient as he shouted, "Why are you so slow? I've been waiting for you for a long time. I'm starving to death!"
Mu Cai was a little puzzled. If Lin Jiayi was so hungry, why didn't he go downstairs earlier, why was he still waiting here?
Facing the blank and innocent look on the pale face of the teenager, Lin Jiayi felt even more guilty. He was afraid Mu Cai would see the footprints on the pillow so he quickly grabbed Mu Cai's arm, showing an eager look and then pulled him out, "Let's go quickly!"
Mu Cai followed Lin Jiayi obediently and didn't forget to take his mobile phone with him when he went out.
Lin Jiayi dragged him downstairs.
It wasn't until they arrived near the dining table Mu Cai broke free from Lin Jiayi's grip. He was somewhat out of breath.
There were already people at the table. Gu Yunchen looked up at them with a cold gaze and lowered his head to check the documents on his phone. However, when Mo Hengqing saw the two of them, he raised his eyebrows and said, 'sit down and eat."
The four of them had breakfast together, and then Mo Fu returned with his wife.
Father Mo greeted his son's two friends, as well as his wife's son, with a friendly attitude, and exchanged a few pleasantries before letting the young men go play by themselves.
Mu Cai followed Lin Jiayi and the others out to walk the dog. The Samoyed seemed to like him especially, always smiling at him and even rubbing against him when he touched him. Lin Jiayi on the other hand looked amused and took several pictures of him.
Even Mo Hengqing was a little surprised. Mu Cai used to barely come out with them before, so it was only today he found out his younger brother was a person loved by animals. He tried to remind the stupid big white dog who owned it, but all he got was the Samoyed's tail-wagging butt.
Only Gu Yunchen was standing there indifferently watching them revolving around a dog.
When it was time for lunch, Mu Cai sat in a chair a bit further away from everyone else.
Wang Li, the original's mother, greeted everyone warmly, "I didn't expect you guys to come, that's why I only prepared a little, apologies for the bad hospitality."
Looking at the dishes over the table, Lin Jiayi said straightforwardly, "What are you saying Aunt Wang? There are so many dishes at the table, we won't be able to finish them all."
Wang Li's face was full of joy.
After Mo Fu moved his chopsticks first, everyone also started eating.
This dining table was rectangular, and Mu Cai was sitting across from Mo father. His position was at the narrower side of the rectangle, and all the dishes were a certain distance away from him.
It was not very convenient for him to pick up food, so he had to eat the two dishes closest to him, thus saving himself from the embarrassment of having to stand up constantly.
Wang Li was sitting on the left-hand side of Mo Fu, and on the right-hand side was Mo Hengqing. Lin Jiayi and Gu Yunchen successively came down and sat on both sides. Both of them were closer to Mu Cai. Gu Yunchen did not squint, only focused on eating his own food, and occasionally answered a few inquiries from Mo father or chatted with Mo Hengqing who was sitting beside him.
But Lin Jiayi had been quietly paying attention to Mu Cai.
!Report Chapter
He watched as the teenager sitting at the table with a pair of chopsticks in his white hand only ate the two dishes in front of him. His two moist lips opened and closed, his throat swallowing the food up and down, and there was a little oil on his lips, making them look more red and bright as if he had put on lipstick.
Lin Jiayi was fascinated and became very curious. Are the two dishes so delicious?
He couldn't help but reach out his chopsticks as well, following Mu Cai's lead. He also clamped the other party's chopsticks and sometimes even secretly snatched the dish from Mu Cai's chopsticks.
Mu Cai was frustrated and wondered what Lin Jiayi was trying to do. Is this young master so lacking in food he even had to snatch this kind of food from him, and he had almost robbed him of all of his food!
Lin Jiayi did not know what Mu Cai was thinking. He thought he was having a good time with Mu Cai, but suddenly he felt someone coming to his side. A shadow fell over his head, and then the two dishes which were on Mu Cai's side were brought in front of him.
Wang Li's sharp voice sounded in his ears: "Jiayi, do you like these two dishes? Come on, I put it in front of you, eat as much as you want!"
Lin Jiayi turned his head in shock and saw Wang Li's face, which almost wrinkled with her smile. Then he turned to look at Mu Cai and saw the other party was quietly picking up his rice without looking at him.
Lin Jiayi thought he had snatched Mu Cai's favorite food.
Lin Jia quickly refused, "No, let Mu Cai eat it if he likes it."
It wasn't that Lin Jiayi liked to eat them, he just liked to watch Mu Cai's exasperated and helpless expressions because of his actions.
But Wang Li stopped him and continued to smile, "You need not mind Mu Cai, he can eat something else. You can eat it if you like."
Lin Jiayi was a little upset, "I don't like to eat this, so I am putting it back on Mu Cai's side."
However, Wang Li still put a few chopsticks on the plate in front of him, and said with a smile, "It's fine, it's fine, don't be polite, don't worry about him."
Lin Jiayi felt uncomfortable listening to Wang Li's words. Why isn't she caring about Mu Cai? Even if they're guests, there's no need to bring over all the food from Mu Cai's side. She could have served a little on a plate.
Although Lin Jiayi usually looked careless and did things his own way, it didn't mean he was a fool and knew nothing. At the moment, Wang Li was so enthusiastic about him Lin Jiayi could see she was trying to curry favor with him.
If it were on a normal day, it would have been fine. He might have given some face to the other party on Uncle Mo's behalf. But now Mu Cai's favorite food had been snatched away; he didn't want to take care of this woman at all.
Thanks to the fact she was Mu Cai's mother, and this was how she treated Mu Cai!
Lin Jiayi was just about to get angry when Mo Hengqing, who was sitting opposite to him, spoke at the right time.
He spoke slowly with an elegant tone, "Aunt Wang, it's not a matter of whether Jiayi likes it. What do you want Mu Cai to eat if you take away these two dishes?"
Wang Li's face stiffened.
Lin Jiayi was still wondering why Mo Hengqing said that, even if the food Mu Cai liked to eat was taken away, it wasn't like there was no food ah.
As a result, he turned around and saw there was nothing in front of Mu Cai, and to reach the nearest plate of food Mu Cai had to stand up and go to the other side. Lin Jiayi was angry, but due to the presence of Uncle Mo, he was in no position to lash out. But the tone of his voice revealed his anger, "What type of arrangement is this? Mu Cai can't even eat food sitting here!"
An accosting smile appeared on Wang Li's face, "It was because I wasn't considerate, I'll put this dish back for him."
After saying this, she was about to stand up.
Mo Hengqing looked at Mu Cai, but saw the young man's long eyelashes were drooping, obscuring the emotions under his eyes. There was no sadness or joy on his face as if he had already gotten used to it for a long time.
He was used to not saying anything even if he was wronged as no one would normally care about him anyway.
Mo Hengqing's heart was moved. He inexplicably felt a little distress for this delicate, fair young man.
!Report Chapter
He thought it over in his mind and was ready to continue to pursue this matter further. Although it might be overstepping a little in front of Mo Fu, "Aunt Wang, it's not that you aren't considerate, you're too considerate."
Wang Li who had just sat down stiffened again.
Mo Hengqing on the other hand did not stop there. He looked over and said, "Do you know what Mu Cai often does in the company?"
An embarrassed look appeared on Wang Li's face as she fidgeted and said, "Hey, isn't it just singing and dancing. Mu Cai has always been very obedient. He must be training in the company."
Mo Hengqing mercilessly exposed her lie, "After entering the company, Cai Cai hasn't been to the company's training room for more than half a year."
Wang Li didn't dare to speak anymore.
But Mu Cai raised his head and stared at Mo Hengqing while thinking, what did Mo Hengqing just call him?
Cai Cai? When did they get so close!
Mo Hengqing felt Mu Cai's gaze and was in an inexplicable good mood as he continued, "Aunt Wang, as a mother, if you don't even care about your child normally, what else is left for you to care about?"
After that, he said nothing else. There was a lot of unfinished business, depending on how others saw it. The cold sweat streamed down Wang Li's back.
This Mo Hengqing, she usually saw him behave low-key and modest, did not expect him to be so difficult! When she looked at Mu Cai again, she could not help but feel resentful as a bit of anger rose in her eyes.
She shouldn't have given birth to this trash.
If it weren't for the fear her future husband would find her too cruel, she wouldn't have brought this trash along with her at all!
Wang Li quickly adjusted her mood and looked at her husband for help. However, the other side did not look at her. Instead, he lovingly looked at Mu Cai and said, "Didn't Mu Cai go to the company for training before? Can you tell your uncle why? "
Mu Cai didn't expect the topic to suddenly be thrown at him. He was confused. He thought about it and quickly came up with a reply to deal with it, saying, "Because I was a little uncomfortable at first, I didn't know anyone. They all had a foundation, but I didn't know anything."
The young man pursed his lips slightly, his dark eyes dimmed. One of his pale hands gripped the chopsticks a little harder as if he was at a loss for words.
Mo Fu was aware of the fact this child was usually very introverted, which might have something to do with Wang Li's indifference towards him.
He usually didn't bother with such trivial matters, but after seeing Mu Cai like this, he somehow couldn't help making his voice gentler and said, "Then you can ask your brother for help. You're in the same company. If you're in trouble, let him visit you more often. It's not that difficult to get familiar with colleagues. Don't worry, you'll get used to it."
Mu Cai pursed his lips and bowed his head and said, "Thank you, uncle." After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and turned towards Mo Hengqing, "Thank you, brother."
The other party had just helped him, and he was a man who knew how to repay a kindness, so saying thank you didn't count as out of character!
As if remembering something, Mo father continued to ask Mu Cai, "So have you adapted to the training recently? You've been with the company for over six months now, so I think we should see if there are any events you can attend. Who's your agent?"
Before Mu Cai had a chance to reply, he heard a cold voice suddenly sound from the side, "He'll be participating in Rookie Star in half a month."
That voice was so recognizable everyone looked up and saw it was indeed Gu Yunchen.
Mo Hengqing and Lin Jiayi were surprised.
They didn't even know this news yet. How did Gu Yunchen know about it?
The man sitting at the table moved his fan-like eyelashes and raised his dark eyes. He looked cold, but his voice was calm, "They invited me to be a judge for the selection of this program. I saw Mu Cai's name on the program list a few days ago."
Mo Fu nodded, then remembered something and turned to look at Mo Hengqing, "Are you going to be on this show, too?"
Mo Hengqing naturally replied, "Yes."
Hearing this, Mo Fu lovingly looked at the muddled face of Mu Cai, and said to the two young men beside him, "You two should take good care of Mu Cai."
Mo Hengqing nodded.
Gu Yunchen nodded slightly and said, "I will."
Then Mu Cai felt the other party's gaze on him, calm eyes seizing him up.
The expression was as cold as the snow on the mountain which does not melt all year-round.
!Report Chapter
After the family dinner, Mu Cai went back to the company to intensify his training for more than half a month.
At this time, the company also paid more attention to the show "Rookie Star". Capitol Hill Entertainment sent four more people to accompany Mu Cai and Liang Yunxi to participate.
During this half a month, in addition to training during the day, they have to run in the new team together at night. Fortunately, of the four people sent by the company, three were Mu Cai's teammates, namely Li Shengmin, Zhao An, and Li Yuzhe, who was usually shy.
And another person named Ding Nan. None of them knew him, and he should also be an artist under the company. Fortunately, although Ding Nan was a little reticent, he was very cooperative about the matter of getting along. Therefore, they quickly completed the division of labor in the team, and Mu Cai became the lead singer because of his voice.
This temporary combination was named "v6", which was in line with the simple and rude style of their captain Liang Yunxi. After more than half a month of running in, training, and preparation, they finally received an invitation letter from the program team.
The recording location of "Rookie Star" was in the outer suburbs of a county-level city in X Province. Mu Cai was prepared to follow Liang Yunxi and the others to transfer planes, and then cars to run around. Unexpectedly, before the departure, Su Xingyun was standing outside the door waiting for them.
Mu Cai was a little surprised, Su Xingyun noticed Mu Cai's expression, and his expressionless face all year round showed a smile, "Sending you over, why aren't I welcome?"
Mu Cai shook his head quickly, "Of course you're welcome! It's just a little surprising that Brother Su would come to see us off. Brother Su usually seems to be very busy."
Mu Cai was telling the truth, Su Xingyun was indeed busy. He was an elite agent of Capitol Hill Entertainment and had another newcomer assigned to him who had already squeezed into the second line under his hand. He usually had to attend dinner parties, meet investors, pull connections, while screening scripts, variety shows, and whatnot.
Su Xingyun still took the time to come here.
In fact, after seeing Mu Cai start to get motivated that day, he would return to the company to see him and Liang Yunxi whenever he was free. Every time he looked at Mu Cai training seriously, Su Xingyun always had a weird sense of accomplishment, like he was watching his son grow up, and would occasionally feed him some snacks.
Mu Cai didn't think too much of it. After a month of contact, he and Su Xingyun were already very familiar with each other. Now that the other party came to send them off, he was naturally very happy.
The group packed up their luggage at noon and boarded the plane. After getting off the plane, outside the airport there was a vehicle Su Xingyun had contacted before he came to visit them. At this moment, the six people in the group were directly stuffed into the big van with their luggage.
After arriving at the training site, before entering the enclosed area, Su Xingyun treated the six people to a good meal, encouraged everyone to say a few words, and then went back.
Mu Cai and the six of them hurriedly followed the direction their guide pointed out and followed the flow of the other trainees; they also put their luggage in their dormitory first and then rushed to the dressing room to apply makeup.
The time of the recording of "Rookie Star" was 6 in the evening, and it was only after 4 when they arrived. They were earlier than expected and the dressing room wasn't full yet.
!Report Chapter
When the group of six opened the door, the makeup artist in the innermost corner was sitting on a chair and playing with her mobile phone. She raised her head after hearing the movement and glanced at them; when her eyes swept over Mu Cai, there was obviously a flash of surprise in her eyes.
Du Wei, who was in her thirties, stood up in a hurry, holding a powder puff and eyebrow pencil, and actively offered her service, "Little handsome boy, come, sit here!"
Mu Cai knew the other party was calling out to him, and somewhat embarrassed, walked over and sat down.
The makeup artists all around couldn't help getting a little jealous. Why did such a nice little brother let the team leader get on the board first!
Seeing that Mu Cai was young, with good skin, and looked really white, Du Wei only put a thin layer of foundation on him. Then she used a felt-tip eyebrow pencil to create strokes of hairs, to deepen the color of his eyebrows.
She also carefully and gently brushed a layer of mascara on Mu Cai's eyelashes and then used a small brush to finely comb the knotted areas, so that the brushed eyelashes of the other party looked particularly natural.
While Du Wei was applying lipstick to Mu Cai, the door of the dressing room was pushed open again.
The eyes of everyone present at the scene looked over and saw a person with a big brother carrying a camera, walking in with a smile on his face.
The person had long legs and wore a camel-colored long trench coat. His appearance was between a young, delicate, and mature man. It happened to be just right. And he was very charming.
Everyone present has seen his face on TV many times. He was Tang Feng, a variety show celebrity who was thriving nowadays. He was also the representative producer of "Rookie Star" and the chief examiner of this knockout trial elimination selection system.
With a charming smile on his face, Tang Feng walked in with the cameraman while waving at the people in the dressing room.
Searching for recording material.
Everyone was aware of this and naturally wanted to show more of their faces. Most of the people present were just trainees from the company. They had never seen such a hot star in real life: so they turned around to greet each other quickly.
Mu Cai's chin was being held by Du Wei, who was applying lipstick on him. Du Wei heard the movement and didn't stop, so he felt uncomfortable turning his head. But without saying hello, Mu Cai felt he would appear very rude, so he could only look at them with a pair of bright black eyes.
The young man's skin was glistening white under the light, and his eyes looked over as if covered with a layer of water, reflecting two bright spots in the eyes. His chin was held hard by someone, his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, and a lustre appeared on his red lips.
The picture at this moment was very much like a carefully crafted advertisement for a major cosmetic brand.
It perfectly displayed the exquisite beauty of the person sitting on the chair.
Tang Feng couldn't help stopping and laughed, "You're Mu Cai, right?"
He had checked the names of the trainees with several mentors before coming over. The person in front of him was very beautiful. Even the picture on the ID was beautiful, which left a very deep impression on the instructors present there.
Tang Feng had been a friend of Gu Yunchen for many years, and naturally knew the other party had a pursuer who behaved like a pervert, but he didn't expect the other party to be so good-looking.
He gave Gu Yunchen a look on the spot.
It's a pity that the other party was very sullen, looking at the enlarged photo on the screen, his face still looked like a monk's.
!Report Chapter
Du Wei finally finished applying lipstick to Mu Cai. She first applied a thick layer, then took the paper to let the other party squeeze it off, and finally took the colored lipstick with a lip brush and again applied a thin layer.
The lips coming out this way were extremely shiny, without looking too heavy, and the makeup didn't stand out too strong.
Although Mu Cai didn't know much about this, he knew Du Wei had put a lot of thought into it. Therefore, Mu Cai first thanked the makeup artist in front of him before turning to talk to Tang Feng, "Yes, teacher Tang."
Tang Feng naturally saw the order in which the young man spoke, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
He has to say this makeup was truly beautiful, it simply made the person in front of him more dazzling, and the originally outstanding appearance looked even better.
It was right to thank the makeup artist.
Tang Feng patted Mu Cai on the shoulder and smiled, "Good Luck."
Mu Cai said quickly, "Thank you, teacher."
As he stopped, the camera followed Mu Cai and took many shots of him back and forth. Tang Feng saw the material was almost collected, so he said goodbye to the people in the dressing room and then returned back to the same path he came from.
Mu Cai's makeup was done, and several of his teammates were almost done as well. After saying goodbye to the people in the dressing room, the six people left the dressing room.
It was already past five in the afternoon. As soon as Mu Cai and the others left the dressing room, the staff standing at the door told them that the recording had started, allowing them to go straight in through the front door.
Since they had already gotten the rules of the first stage before, they didn't behave like headless flies. They bypassed the small door in front of them and arrived at an empty hallway.
This was where the trainees graded their own strength before the formal assessment.
There were five grades of stickers on the small table in front of them, from highest to lowest, A, B, C, D, E, F. Trainees can put a sticker on their nameplate at which level they think their strength belonged to.
Liang Yunxi took A without hesitation, while the others took B. Mu Cai hesitated a bit, and felt it was better not to overestimate himself, so he reached out and took D.
This move naturally caused criticism from his teammates.
Liang Yunxi was dissatisfied and said, "Why did you take such a low one?"
Li Shengmin quickly supported, "Yes, yes, Cai Cai is so good, don't be so unconfident."
Li Yuzhe also said, "D is a bit too low."
Zhao An was more direct, reaching out and trying to tear up the sign that the other party put on his stomach, "Quickly change to A or B. Don't worry, the producer is not blind. He might directly give you A after looking at your beauty."
Mu Cai quickly reached out his hand to cover his sign.
Although his teammates said so confidently, he was still very self-aware.
Liang Yunxi and Li Shengmin both had practiced dance since childhood, and Zhao An had also practiced rap for more than a year. They had been training in the company for a year before, and they all had the ability to become idols while he was the one who had come unannounced after only training for one month.
They were totally incomparable!
When his teammates saw that they couldn't persuade Mu Cai, they didn't dare force him. They were afraid Mu Cai would get angry, so they could only let the matter go.
As a result, Mu Cai didn't expect that after entering the arena and greeting the person at the entrance of the advanced entry arena, his teammates would start acting like demons again.
Liang Yunxi grabbed Mu Cai and lifted his foot to walk to the highest level.
!Report Chapter
This was a hall similar to a ladder, and the seats were ranked from one to a hundred, from high to low. The trainees who felt their strength could be ranked first among the 100 trainees in the audience, could go up to that position. It was another way of self-assessment.
Liang Yunxi obviously wanted to fight for the top seven positions. The other party was confident, but Mu Cai wasn't. He didn't want to go up at all.
Mu Cai blurted out, "Let go!"
The touch under his palm was soft, Liang Yunxi was reluctant to let go, and continued to persuade bitterly, "Isn't it good to go up? Have confidence in yourself, Cai Cai!"
Mu Cai rolled his eyes: "No, I don't have confidence. Go by yourself."
Liang Yunxi behaved overbearing and arrogant, "Cai Cai, just follow me."
Mu Cai vowed not to obey, "Go away, you stinky rascal!" He said, turning his head to ask for help from someone.
Several of his teammates hurried forward.
Li Shengmin said it was to persuade him, but in fact, he broke Liang Yunxi's fingers. His eyes were red with distress, "Captain, can't you just take the high ground yourself? Look at how tightly you're clutching, Cai Cai might be hurt!"
Zhao An took the opportunity to hug Liang Yunxi from behind and tried to drag the opponent away. He kept chanting rhythmically, "Shengmin is right, captain, don't regret it! Your heart is higher than the sky, so naturally, you should fly higher! There's no need to be sentimental about returning to the nest, we will protect Cai Cai! Oh yeah~"
He even started to rap!
Even Li Yuzhe, who has always been shy, nodded silently, "The captain can fly with ease, and Cai Cai will accompany me back."
Liang Yunxi was being held by two people. Hearing these words, thinking of how he had urged them to train on weekdays, he was furious, "Unfilial sons!"
Zhao An also followed up with, "Sorry, captain, dad!"
They put a good show on, which drew a lot of attention from the people present. In the end, each of them stepped back and sat in the top ten to twenty positions together.
Mu Cai was exhausted physically and mentally, only to find himself surrounded by a group of sand statues.
People from behind continued to walk up, and Liang Yunxi couldn't help whispering in his ear whenever someone occupied the top seven positions.
Mu Cai turned a deaf ear to all of this.
After everyone had taken their seats, the instructors of the variety show also made their appearance.
From the aisle on the side, the first to come out was Tang Feng. He was wearing a camel-colored long trench coat, his hair was meticulously styled, and he waved at the trainees with a charming smile on his face.
The emotions of the trainees were immediately stimulated. The next moment, their emotions continued to rise.
Because the ones who came after were Gu Yunchen, Mo Hengqing, and other well-known musicians and dance teachers.
These trainees who had not yet made their debut, when they saw the emergence of these top traffic stars they dreamt of becoming, the entire audience couldn't help but cheer!
Countless fiery eyes landed on them.
Tang Feng and Mo Hengqing both smiled and waved.
Gu Yunchen didn't raise his eyes. He was completely dark, with long black breeches on his legs, which made his legs appear long and straight. Coupled with his aloof appearance, he grabbed the most attention as soon as he appeared on the scene.
Mu Cai couldn't help glancing at the other.
That outfit looked so handsome!
He was watching him and Gu Yunchen below, as if sensing something, suddenly raised his head.
Their eyes met in the air.
The young man on the opposite side was full of radiance, his eyes shone, and he smiled like a light source.
Gu Yunchen's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Mu Cai's appearance today was really too dazzling.
!Report Chapter
From the point of view of the design of the competition system, the program "Rookie Star" was more focused on the selection of traffic stars.
In order to take care of both professionalism and entertainment, the program team not only invited popular variety show celebrity, Tang Feng as the representative of the producer but also put in a lot of effort on the mentors. For example, as the music instructor, they chose professional singer Pei Bin, rapper Liang Wen, and also invited newcomer Mo Hengqing.
Mo Hengqing was a typical singer and an excellent actor. Although he now put his career focus on acting, he still maintained the speed of releasing an album every two years, including songs that were familiar on the streets.
The same was true for the dance instructors. In addition to professional dance instructor Fang Yajun, the program team also invited Gu Yunchen, who came from a boy band and finally ended up filming solo.
When the producer's team was seated, Tang Feng spoke a few words for the opening and then announced the first round of rating performances had officially begun.
The contestants entered the arena one by one in order to prepare for the contest. Mu Cai and his group's number was a little further back, so he wasn't in a hurry to rush onto the stage. He sat in his seat and watched the contestants on the stage perform one by one.
Among them was Lin Jiayi.
During the previous seat selection session, Mu Cai saw Lin Jiayi, and the other party had greeted him. He was not surprised, because according to the original plot, the other party would also come to participate in the show, and would make his debut on the show.
It's just Mu Cai didn't expect Lin Jiayi who usually looked like a Yankee, could even sing and dance pretty good, and finally got the B grade.
The judges of "Rookie Star" were very strict. Some people, even Mu Cai, thought they had performed very well and the trainees in the audience were also applauding, but they still hadn't got an A.
So far, there had been more than 20 trainees on the stage, but only one got grade A. This person was a trainee who participated in the program as an individual, his name was Alan. He had won the championship of the domestic street dance competition. He had a stronghold on almost everything, whether it was singing, rap, dance skills, or his mature stage style.
Mu Cai didn't have the time to watch later performances, because it would be their turn to perform soon. Mu Cai didn't feel too nervous, after all, he had experience on stage in the real world. And this time it was just for the plot, so Mu Cai just wanted to cooperate and do a good job with the group, and didn't care about his personal rating.
After the v6 group went on stage, everyone introduced themselves, and Tang Feng who was sitting under the stage raised his microphone and smiled, "Please start your performance."
A dynamic, fast-paced prelude sounded, and the six people on the stage moved very neatly and uniformly. Zhao An took the lead in opening the rap and all the other team members surrounded him in the center and danced.
After singing and dancing like this for a while, the song reached Mu Cai's part.
The next part of the song was a bit difficult to sing and required a smooth transition and a high pitch. If it were before, Mu Cai would be out of breath after dancing for a while and would have been unable to sing again.
But it turned out the month-long training raid was not for nothing, at least now Mu Cai felt his voice was still stable.
!Report Chapter
And as he stepped into the center of the team from behind Zhao An, with one glance, the whole audience was boiling!
Mu Cai's voice became clearer and more pleasant, like the echo of a stream flowing through the valley, ethereal and distant. The song was preceded by an intense and exciting rap and when it came to Mu Cai's part, the tempo suddenly slowed down, and the tune was high and long. And within a few lines, the following tempo accelerated a bit, becoming a normal and slightly faster tempo, with a sense of rhythm.
And he sang perfectly whether it was high notes or the articulation shifts. Although there was a little breathing instability, it was only a small flaw.
Mu Cai stood on the stage, his red lips opened and closed, and a pair of radiant eyes stared at the audience as if this was his stage, and the audience was cheering for him.
This was indeed the case. From the moment he sang the first sentence, everyone in the audience opened their eyes and mouth wide in surprise. However, the young man seemed to restrain all the lights in his eyes, reflecting the bright brilliance. When he looked down the stage, the whole person seemed to be shining.
For a while, everyone present couldn't see anything, and couldn't think of anything. He was the only one in their hearts and eyes.
Even the judges were the same.
Tang Feng looked at the stage with a smile, playing lightly with his fingers. The well-known singer Bei Bin closed his eyes, tapping to the beat with his feet and immersed himself in the feast for ears. The professional rap instructor Liang Wen seemed to be rapping alongside Mu Cai's singing.
The dance instructor Fang Yajun sat on the chair and twisted slightly, shaking his head as if immersed in the singing. Even Mo Hengqing on the side sang along with Mu Cai's singing.
Gu Yunchen stared at the person who was singing with the microphone raised.
The young man's soft black hair drooped over his ears, his eyes were half-closed, and his long eyelashes were hanging low, casting a shadow under his eyes. His whole person seemed to be shining on the stage, and his voice was clear and ethereal and beautiful, grasping Gu Yunchen's heart tightly like a siren.
So seductive… so tempting… Damn.
It would be a good idea to hide him from the eyes of the public.
But this kind of light did not belong to him alone: at this moment, his singing, his smile, and his eyes all belonged to the audience under the stage at this moment.
Gu Yunchen somewhat remembered the scene of Mu Cai sitting in a narrow and dirty alleyway in the dusk. The other party was in pain, and his whole body was covered in mud, but he was still able to make a heartfelt confession to someone as cold as himself.
Although he had never put the other person in his eyes before and was even bored of him. At this moment, Gu Yunchen looked at Mu Cai, whose eyes swept across the audience; a sense of exclusivity arose from the fact everything used to belong originally to him, which was taken away by someone else and displayed in public.
This idea was like a seed sprouting in his heart, once it broke through the ground, it was difficult to take back.
After singing his part of the song Mu Cai immediately retreated from the middle position, and Liang Yunxi took over for the chorus part. By the end of the closing, it was again Mu Cai who sang.

He stood in the middle of the stage, another storm was set off, and everyone else in the team danced around him. Liang Yunxi also stood out from the other team members in accordance with the choreographed dance and danced close to Mu Cai. His dance was full of power, during which he touched Mu Cai's shoulders and waist many times as if he wanted to possess the other.
When the song was over, Liang Yunxi directly held the young man's thin waist and half hugged him from behind, while the others squatted or stood, surrounding the two of them.
Mu Cai twisted his waist slightly, he was a little ticklish, but Liang Yunxi had to hold his waist not too lightly. This made Mu Cai's face almost burst into a bright smile.
It's all itchy.
When the sound of the heavens in their ears ended, everyone stood up, cheering and screaming as if they were waking up from a dream.
At this time, the teammates dispersed from Mu Cai, and Liang Yunxi's hand was also taken back. Mu Cai kept smiling and bowed with his teammates, then straightened up and waited for the jury's evaluation.
Tang Feng smiled and said, "It was very good, do the mentors have any comments?"
Bei Bin took the lead. He looked at Mu Cai on the stage with scorching eyes, and said, "After today's recording is over, can I meet you?"
The trainees present were all very surprised. Bei Bin was a professional musician. In addition to releasing albums and holding concerts, he could only be seen at major events or parties. He was an unshakable senior in the domestic and Asian music circles.
Today, such a predecessor hoped to get to know Mu Cai as if he was a little fanboy!
Seeing that Mu Cai didn't answer immediately, Bei Bin seemed to be afraid the other party would disagree, and quickly added, "Your voice is unique, but the skills are still slightly lacking. I'd really love to get to know you."
Mu Cai originally didn't answer immediately because he was flattered. Now the other party repeated it a second time. He quickly responded, "Okay, teacher." He thought about it, smiled, and said, "Thank you, teacher."
The young man's eyebrows were crooked, his eyes were like crescent moons, and his cheeks were piled up with a little flesh because of his smile, which seemed to be very easy to pinch. He had soft lines and glowing white skin, and he looked very pleasing to the eye.
Mo Hengqing held the microphone and spoke at the right time, "When Teacher Bei goes to meet someone, can you bring me along."
Bei Bin was immediately unhappy, "Why are you like this!"
Mo Hengqing is very calm, "Good seedlings cannot be monopolized."
This came and went, causing another burst of laughter.
Tang Feng laughed for a while, then glanced straight in the direction of Gu Yunchen.
Gu Yunchen understood what he meant, and said blankly, "Can Mu Cai dance alone?"
Mu Cai was stunned for a moment, then nodded his head.
He understood that this was the male lead who wanted to make a fool of him. And this time he will not only make a fool of himself but also consolidate his obsession with the other party.
Therefore, Mu Cai looked at the other party again, and solemnly added, "Okay, Teacher Gu."
The stage was set up, and he stood in the middle of the stage, listening to the rhythm ringing in his ears.
During the month of preparation for the contest, Liang Yunxi had specifically picked up a dance for Mu Cai to learn, saying that it was relatively simple, and it could match most of the dynamic music. If the instructor asked him to perform solo, he could dance this. As long as he grasped the rhythm of the music, it shouldn't be too ugly.
