silence is your lie

17.

Cui Shengxian casually packed the chicken in his hand. He wanted to make a chicken curry, but the curry he bought was not satisfactory, and it was far from the time in the United States.

Li Zhongshuo was talking on the phone in the living room, and Cui Shengxian knew that he was arranging his schedule.

He has the chicken ready for cleaning.

"Just now YG company called, saying that they held an event, and hope you find time to be a guest." Li Zhongshuo looked at him at the door and said.

"What event?" Cui Shengxian asked while washing the chicken.

"It's a singing competition. Some YG trainees want to choose some debuts. I hope you can give some advice as a rapper." Lee Jong-suk shrugged, "To be honest, I don't agree with it. But I guess You will agree."

Cui Shengxian smiled and said: "President Yang is my former senior, he took good care of me, how could I refuse him. Besides, sooner or later we have to meet, wouldn't it be better to be in this capacity."

Lee Jong Suk sighed: "Okay, then I will communicate with the director, ask for a day off, and let him shoot other parts first."

"Okay." Cui Shengxian nodded, took out the chicken and cut it into pieces.

The fact that YG company will launch a new boy group soon caused a sensation in the Korean music industry.Since the disbandment of BIG, YG has never launched any new boy group, but Kwon Ji-yong alone has divided half of the music industry. It doesn't matter whether YG has a new boy group or not.But this time it was particularly striking.Not only because it is an internal competition, but also because it invites all members of the former BIG club to come back as judges. This century-old picture is enough to attract the attention of all media.After all, no one can deny that the position of BIG Stick in Korea has been very stable since six years ago. Even after going through so much, the current BIG Stick is still unshakable.

Cui Shengxian arrived at the scene with Jiang Dacheng, Dacheng came to him early in the morning, and he had to go with him no matter what.

"I went because of my brother. If I don't go with you, I'm afraid I'll run home halfway." Sitting next to him, Jiang Dacheng bit his hamburger and said, "I didn't even eat breakfast, so I was afraid that you would leave. "

Cui Shengxian smiled: "How could that be?"

"To be honest, I was also surprised when I received a call from President Yang. But after all, he is the former president and has kindness to me, so there is no way to refuse."

"Me too." Cui Shengxian said softly.

"But when I think of Quan Zhilong and Taeyang, especially Seungri! I feel uncomfortable all over." Dacheng bit off the hamburger, and his words were a little vague: "So brother, you have to follow me, don't wander around."

"I know, eat quickly." Cui Shengxian shook his head helplessly.

Lee Jong Suk sat in the front and looked at them from the rearview mirror: "You think Choi Seung Hyun is a four-legged toad, and he runs around if he can't see it."

"I just want to say, brother, you should pay attention to your speech and behavior, so as not to be caught by others."

"I know, it's almost here, do celebrities want to be photogenic?"

When he returned to the YG building again, Choi Seung-hyun narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked up at this building like this 16 years ago. At that time, he was full of admiration and only thought that this was the place where he would live his whole life.

Now, he only feels that things are right and people are wrong.

The reporters were all stopped at the door. They entered the building through the back door, and the staff had already led them to the elevator.

Cui Shengxian looked at the newly renovated luxury elevator through the sunglasses, and said with a chuckle: "I remember that the elevator was a bit old six years ago, but now it looks like new."

The staff at the reception said with a smile: "The building was newly renovated three years ago, so there will be some changes."

Choi Seung Hyun nodded and said, "Are YG's artists still the same as before?"

"Well, there are basically no changes, except for some more trainees."

The elevator soon arrived at the top floor. There were only two rooms on the top floor, one was the president's office, and the other was a performance room for reporting some large-scale events.

When Choi Seung Hyun arrived, many reporters were already seated there. At the front of the judging panel, Quan Zhilong, Taeyang, Seungri, CL, Park Chun, Minzhi, and Park Sandara were all seated. At this time, President Yang was negotiating with the reporters.

On the left and right of Yang Hyun Suk are CL and Quan Zhilong, representing the two captains. Next to Quan Zhilong is Cui Shengxian, and on the other side of Cui Shengxian is Dacheng.

Cui Shengxian curled the corner of his mouth, President Yang really put his mind to this ranking.

"Mr. Cui!" A reporter exclaimed after discovering him.

Immediately, all the reporters were moved by the sound and rushed over.

Choi Seung Hyun allowed them to take pictures, but did not answer any questions. He went straight to Yang Hyun Suk, bowed and said, "President."

Yang Xianshuo looked at him and said with a smile: "Shengxian," he patted his shoulder, "Long time no see. How are you?"

"Thanks to the president," he raised his eyes and stared into the eyes of the person opposite, "it's not bad."

Yang Xianshuo's smile remained undiminished, but his eyes became sharper. He saw forbearable cruelty in the eyes of the man bowing in front of him.

Inexplicably, Yang Xianshuo recalled the first time he saw this man. At that time, the man was still a teenager. Standing in front of him, his eyes were full of respect, his voice was low, his smile was shy, and his words were full of honesty.

But now, even if this man is bent over, people can't ignore his stormy aura hidden under the calm mask.

It turns out that a person can be changed so completely.

Taking Cui Shengxian and Dacheng into the seat, Yang Xianshuo delivered a speech, and then announced the start of the competition.

Cui Shengxian was wearing sunglasses, although the corners of his mouth were curved, but his eyes were not warm under the cover of the sunglasses.

"Hey you..." The person next to him suddenly leaned towards him, as if inadvertently tilted his body: "Have you been to my house? Recently."

Cui Shengxian looked at him under the sunglasses, Quan Zhilong was expressionless, as indifferent as a piece of ice, but his slightly furrowed eyebrows betrayed his restlessness.

"No, I'm at home except filming." Cui Shengxian said softly, "What's wrong?"

The music from the stereo drowned out their conversation.

Quan Zhilong took a breath and resumed his sitting position: "It's fine."

I didn't understand what he wanted to ask, but based on what Cui Shengxian knew about him, he knew that there must be something on his mind.But he won't ask, after all, he can't even count as friends now.

"Do you remember that you once asked me about Sangyang Lake?" Quan Zhilong suddenly asked him again.

Cui Shengxian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You said that it was the lake at your house when you were a child."

"Nothing else?"

"What do you wish for?" Cui Shengxian frowned: "You used to have nightmares, always saying that you can't go there again, so I asked curiously, what's wrong?"

Quan Zhilong was silent for a while, and then said: "It's nothing, I haven't gone back for a long time, I suddenly want to ask."

Cui Shengxian saw that he no longer wanted to talk, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, the performance of the first group ended.

Yang Xianshuo joked with them for a while, then asked the judges to make an evaluation, and selected two people to enter the second round.

Quan Zhilong seemed to lack interest and did not intend to comment.

Sun Dacheng and Shengli mostly commented that the songs were irrelevant, but the rap part must be commented by someone, so Cui Shengxian had to pick up the microphone.

"I am very pleased that everyone's rap can be sung so well. I have been away from Korea for six years, and I have hardly sung in these six years, so I don't know if my current evaluation is still worthwhile."

"If brother TOP's evaluation is worthless, then we might as well not say our evaluation." Park Chun said with a smile, and finally winked at him.

Choi Seung-hyun smiled. It can be said that he used to like several sisters of 2NE1, especially Park Chun, who was the best friend with him. He could see that Park Chun was very happy to see him, but he was not sure whether he still Can really trust her.

"The voices are all very nice, but my own voice is relatively low, so I am more attracted to the one with a low tone, but..." He looked at the information in his hand, "BI, your tone is very similar to that of a dragon."

Quan Zhilong looked at him, and Cui Shengxian looked at the young boy in the audience, with a sincere smile on his face: "You all have sharp voices and high-pitched voices, I just read your profile, you You also compose your own lyrics, right?"

"Yes." The boy below said a little excitedly: "Brother Zhilong is my idol, I hope to become someone like him."

Cui Shengxian nodded, and then looked at Quan Zhilong as if joking, their eyes met, Cui Shengxian said with a smile: "You really look alike, I look at BI as if I saw you in Zeng Jin."

Quan Zhilong silently looked at the teenagers in the audience. BI resembled him, not only in his voice, but also in his attitude towards music. Everyone said that he would be the second Quan Zhilong.Quan Zhilong also liked him very much, but for some reason, Cui Shengxian said so, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Can you sing Zhilong's songs?" Cui Shengxian asked the teenagers in the audience.

"Yes!" the boy said excitedly.

"Will you know "Day by Day"?"

"meeting."

"Can you sing with me?" Cui Shengxian asked suddenly.

"Okay." The boy's excited voice trembled a little.

"Don't be nervous!" Cui Shengxian smiled, "Just a section, I'll come first, the section where you pick up Zhilong."

The young man nodded.

The band below indicated whether to use the accompaniment, Cui Shengxian shook his head to indicate no, then moved closer to the microphone and spoke.

His voice was originally low. Although it was very low when he left six years ago, it is far from such a low-pitched and explosive voice after all these years.

Compared with him, BI's voice was obviously too weak.It's like a competition, players who are not of the same level, but with just a few words, they are already suppressed and out of breath.

Just when BI's singing voice was trembling, Quan Zhilong picked up Brother Mai, and continued the next sentence without peacekeeping.

Cui Shengxian glanced at him, his eyes flickering a few times.The two sat on the chairs obediently, but the song that was both rap had a strong meaning of fighting music.

The two are evenly matched, although Quan Zhilong's voice is relatively soft, but his skills are extremely handy, so he will not be overwhelmed by Cui Shengxian's momentum.

So that for a long time after the song ended, everyone was shocked by this rare duel of top Korean rap singers.Then suddenly, applause broke out.

They looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
