The top brother is going to the draft!

Zhuang wants to grow up with Xiang Ran, sometimes he even knows more about Xiang Ran than himself.

For example, Xiang Ran's old lady's name is not in vain at all.Apart from nagging and worrying, he is also meticulous, caring and always gentle. He always gives and rarely asks Zhuang for anything.However, his overly selfless approach always made Zhuang Xiang feel awkward.

The age difference of just three years from childhood to adulthood is enough for Xiang Ran to always stand in front of Zhuang Xiang. Zhuang Xiang is always in his protection circle. He is protected and not needed, and occasionally he is dissatisfied with this way of getting along.

In his opinion, since he is only three years old, Xiang Ran doesn't need to regard himself as an image of an elderly person who can protect him from wind and rain.So it was a rare time to see him begging, and Zhuang Xiang felt happy instead.

He happily said, "Okay."

Anyway, Xiang Ran wouldn't make any excessive demands... right?

he thinks.

Xiang Ran withdrew his fingertips caressing his face, the corners of his mouth curled up, a pair of beautiful blue eyes shone slightly, as beautiful as the sunshine in the Snow Country.He said slowly: "Then don't go back on your word."

Zhuang thought: "okkk!"

Xiang Ran pursed his smile, looked down at the kitten who was flicking its tail leisurely, and said, "I'll take it to the hospital when I go down the mountain later. Do you want to give him a name now?"

Zhuang thought: "Hmm..."

"It's called Bingdie·R·Mengshanglei!!" Before Zhuang Xiang could figure it out, Song Yichen who was on the side had already raised his hand to propose enthusiastically, "This is the name of the heroine in the first novel I've read! Is it a thief? It sounds good!"

other people:……?

Then Zhuang thought: "It sounds good!"

other people:? ? ?

Zhuang Xiang was amazed by this, and clapped hands with Song Yichen: "Student Xiao Song is really a genius!"

Song Yichen squeezed his face: "Hey, right?"

In this regard.

Xiang Ran: "..."

Players: "..."

The top of the mountain, which was still noisy just now, suddenly fell into silence where the wind could hear the sound.

The staff couldn't help but twitched the corners of their mouths: "omg, please don't harm other people's kittens."

He knew it.

You shouldn't have expectations for the aesthetics of this non-mainstream duo!How can these two people get together and come up with something good :)

Xu Ziyi came to his senses, and quickly grabbed the excited Song Yichen with a terrified expression on his face: "How can you listen to Song Yichen's bullying, partner! Maomao won't be happy either!"

The kitten meowed and pawed on the bench next to Zhuang Xiang, as if it was also dissatisfied with the name chosen by this annoying classmate Song.

Zhuang wanted to pet the kitten: "Hey, it seems a little too long."

"Where is the problem of length?" Luo Mingyuan was incredulous, "And what's the matter with your regretful tone!!"

Zhuang Xiang: qwq

The staff member said: "Is that called Laifu, Laibao or Zhaocai?"

Luo Mingyuan thought for a while: "Why don't you call him Di Jia! The light of the righteous way."

The contestants on one side also made suggestions one after another: "It's called being rich!"

"Call it chicken wishbone, my brother likes chicken wishbone."

"Yellow buns?"

"Or call it a spring outing!"

"Or you can call it Show 2 hahaha, it's very meaningful!"

"It's okay to be called C, hahaha..."

Everyone was chattering about the name of the kitten, but Xiang Ran looked at Zhuang Xiang and asked, "What about you?"

So they all became quieter by coincidence, waiting for his brother's answer.

...not demanding.

As long as it is better than Song Yishen, thank God.

Zhuang thought about it for a while, stretched out his fingertips and rubbed the hot fur on the top of the kitten's head twice, and then was rubbed by it arching its head.

Zhuang Xiang couldn't help laughing, holding the soft fufu cat's face and asked it seriously: "How is it called Bing Kuo Luo? I like Bing Kuo Luo the most!"

Cat: "Meow!"

Appears to agree.

The others also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, calling Bing Kuo Luo is better than Bing Die · R · Meng Shang Lei.

Once the kitten had a name, the contestants turned around with the food, looked at it, and kept calling its name.Seeing that it didn't respond, I still imitated it, even if I didn't get a response, I was still very enthusiastic.

Bing Kuoluo: "..."

Big round eyes are gradually narrowing.jpg

Damn, these bipeds are so annoying! !

Xiang Ran stood by and watched Zhuang for a while, wanting to tease the cat, and took out a wet tissue from his backpack and handed it over.

The cool and moist tissue fell on the back of Zhuang Xiang's hand.He felt Xiang Ran's slightly hot palm through a thin distance, and raised his head.

Xiang Ran said: "The stray cat is not clean, I will touch it after I send it to the pet shop."

Zhuang Xiang responded obediently and took the wet tissue to wipe his hands.

Xiang Ran glanced around, picked a piece of dog's tail grass and handed it to Zhuang Xiang, indicating that he could be a cat teaser.

Zhuang Xiang wowed: "Careful old lady!"

The old lady gave him a pat on the head, the warm palm slid down his hair, and gently stroked his cheek.

Zhuang wants to look at him.

Xiang Ran's jet-black hair was as thick as ink, and his face was cold like a sharp ancient knife.But when he smiled faintly, there was warmth in his blue eyes, and his stern temperament seemed much gentler under the spring sunshine.

Like the way he used to be in high school, nothing has changed.

Zhuang wanted to rub his palm subconsciously.

Xiaoshanshan is not big, but the scenery is good. The original plan was to walk around and take more photos as souvenirs, but because of an unexpected variable, they were reluctant to leave and only wanted to stay in Zhuang Xiang I took pictures next to Bingkuoluo.

On a whim, the staff turned to look at the photography teacher and said to take a photo for them.

The photography teacher nodded knowingly, looked down at the camera, focused and pressed the shutter.

The spring is bright and the new buds are sprouting.

Under the shade of the tree, a pile of snacks were piled up around the little raccoon tree. These were originally brought by the contestants to eat, but now they are all for this little ancestor.But the kitten didn't even look at it. It lay on the chair and looked at Zhuang Xiang, wagging its tail leisurely.

Under the shade of the tree, the blue-haired boy was teasing the cat with a dog's tail grass, and the tall black figure beside him looked at him intently with downcast eyes.

Surrounded by circles of young and curious faces, the new leaves in early spring are green behind them. Their expressions are a little overwhelmed and novel about this fragile life. They want to approach but are at a loss. look.

The staff looked around.

I can feel the spring breeze through the screen, and a natural and warm atmosphere rushes towards my face-isn't this much better than that kind of rigid formula photo?

He laughed: "Oh, maybe at that time I can use this photo to make a graduation photo memory."

A public dinner is also photographed.You can take pictures again, and the scene has changed from the magnificent hot pot restaurant at that time to the outdoor under the shade of trees.

The number of people decreases again and again, how many familiar faces will be able to stay on the final night, and how many people will make their debut successfully?He can't help feeling a little bit emotional about that time when he thinks about it now.

"But speaking of it..." The staff recalled for a while, and couldn't help but said, "Teacher Xiang seems to be there every time."

The selection manager also said: "Haha, Xiu 2 is making up the staff!! He is not absent every time, and the pd is not as active as him."

"The relationship between him and his younger brother is also really good." The staff said, "I also had childhood sweethearts when I was young, but they gradually drifted away when I grew up."

"Isn't it?" The selection officer came over and whispered bb, "They both have pink bubbles every time."

A wonderful atmosphere that no one else can get in.

——I really can't blame cp fans for being crazy.

They all felt that this pair of szd〒_〒

After the speaking session was over, everyone started playing on the grass.Those who play games play games, those who eat eat, those who play with cats play with cats.

But this cold little cub seems to only have a soft spot for Zhuang Xiang, only in front of Zhuang Xiang will it make a coquettish cry, and it will be alert and cold in front of others, putting on the airs of its master, making other people look at it novel.

The two-hour time ended quickly in the midst of playfulness, because everyone did not go far, so the assembly was not bothersome, and the staff assembled after counting heads and preparing to go down the mountain.

Xiang Ran looked at Bing Kuo Luo for a while, the high-cold elite veterans were not good at dealing with this kind of creature.However, when Zhuang wanted to ask him if he wanted to help, Xiang Ran justly refused him on the grounds that stray cats had a lot of bacteria.

Zhuang wanted to shrug his shoulders: "Okay."

So he just watched Xiang Ran carefully grab the cat's front paws.

Then--

Under his surprised eyes, Bing Kuo Luo was stretched longer and longer, turning into a long hairy strip.

Xiang Ran:? !

Bing Kuoluo: "Meow ow ow -!"

Seeing everything, Zhuang thought:? ? ?

He hurriedly stopped him: "No, what are you doing?"

Xiang Ran looked at him helplessly, and said, "I'll pick it up."

Zhuang wanted to chuckle, showing his little canine teeth: "How can you hug a cat like this."

Xiang Ran pursed his lips, the tall and handsome man lowered his eyes slightly, his expression was still unmoved and cold, but Zhuang wanted to see a little frustration for no reason.

Zhuang Xiang smiled and stroked his hair as comfort, then asked Song Yichen to borrow a pocket, and leaned over to squat down.

Plastic bags rattled.

Bing Kuoluo moved his ears, wagged his tail and poked his head in to have a look.Then the whole body got into the pocket.

Zhuang Xiang easily handed the cat to Xiang Ran with his pocket in his hand: "Here."

Xiang Ran lifted the pocket, Bing Kuoluo also put on a small round face and put it by the side of the pocket to look at Zhuang Xiang, tilted his head, and flicked the tips of his ears.

Zhuang Xiang: (〃v〃)

Have been cute!

Xiang Ran stared at the cat silently: "..."

It's a bit of a struggle to go up the mountain, but it's easy to go down the mountain.

The contestants ran all the way to take pictures and fight around.The staff at the side lamented the energy of the young people more than once.

At the foot of the mountain, their bus was still parked by the side of the road, Zhuang wanted to say hello to the staff and then went to Xiang Ran's car.

He got into the car to say goodbye to the kitten, and then turned to look at Xiang Ran.Seeing that Xiang Ran didn't say a word, he tilted his head and pulled his face: "What's wrong?"

Xiang Ran didn't hide, let him do it, but lowered his eyes.The clear blue faded to the color of dawn, and he said honestly: "I want to think that I am omnipotent in my heart."

Zhuang Xiang was stunned for a while before he realized what he wanted to express, and couldn't help laughing: "But even if you can hold a cat, you are not omnipotent!"

Xiang Ran is very powerful.

Most of the time, Zhuang Xiang really feels that he is omnipotent, and he really thinks that everything can be solved perfectly in his hands.

but--

Zhuang wanted to say, "No one is omnipotent."

In the dark and narrow car, Xiang Ran turned sideways, and said with a somewhat imperceptible melancholy tone, "When you were young, you liked the omnipotent Superman."

Zhuang thought and laughed: "Who doesn't like it?"

Xiang Ran said: "I just hope you can be more—"

He paused at this point.

Zhuang wanted to feel that Xiang Ran's hand was covering his hand lightly like a feather, and the palm that should have been warm was slightly cold.

He said, "Huh?"

The kitten kept flopping around, and the plastic bag was kicked out loudly, Zhuang wanted to look sideways.

But Xiang Ran raised his eyes, clasped his wrist with his slender and strong fingers, and brought back Zhuang Xiang's gaze, and when Zhuang Xiang turned his head back, he carefully leaned close to his ear, speaking softly as if telling a little secret.

"I hope... think about it, you can like me a little more."

If he is more powerful, more perfect, and infinitely closer to the person Zhuang wants to love.

Maybe……

When Zhuang wanted to go back to the bus and sit down, Song Yichen turned his gaze from the mobile game to his face, and then looked at his ears in surprise: "Your ears are so red??"

Zhuang thought: "The cat... the cat scratched it."

No way?That cat seems to like Zhuang Xiang very much!

But Song Yichen still said, "Hiss, what a bad cat."

Zhuang wanted to cover his ears, and said softly after a while, "Yes."

After returning to the base, no matter what the others did, Zhuang Xiang's vacation was over anyway.

The announcement shadows of various interstitial advertisements generally go hand in hand.It's not just him who is busy like this, but most of the players in the upper zone.

Occasionally they have to form a team to go out to a province together, the schedule is very busy, and occasionally even when there are many work plans, the day and night are a bit upside down.In such a busy schedule, everyone soon ushered in the day that should have been the announcement of the rankings and the announcement of the Sangong mission.

In the familiar venue, Dong Xia came on stage and was greeted with rounds of applause from the players.

Dong Xia glanced over their faces, and said with a smile, "I wonder if everyone is nervous now?"

The contestants were sitting on the chairs, chirping: "Nervous!!"

"The ranking is announced again, I really can't stand this qwq"

"Yeah, it doesn't matter whether you stay or get eliminated..."

Dong Xia laughed, and said slowly: "What if I say that there is no ranking announced today?"

Players:! !

Zhuang Xiang was also a little surprised, and exchanged a glance with Song Yichen beside him.

Song Yichen reacted quickly and remembered: "I remembered, every time the three men were eliminated halfway...Of course it wasn't announced today."

Zhuang Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and then recalled the talent show variety show he had watched before, thoughtfully.

It’s not that they don’t know this invisible unspoken rule, but that they have stayed at the base for too long, and the focus will inevitably be on the current life rather than some previous memories, so it is inevitable to ignore it.

The surrounding players were buzzing with discussions, and many players didn't react.

"There is no...ranking announced? Is this what it means literally?"

"That means you don't need to be eliminated?"

"Wow—it's okay!!"

"Can I stay longer?"

Luo Mingyuan tugged at his golden hair, and said helplessly, "It's a good thing my hair is already dyed."

He had already thought about what to say at that time, but now Dong Xia told them that there was no ranking announced.

Dong Xia said, "Hey, don't rush to be happy."

This sentence silenced the players.

"I just said that I won't announce it today, but it doesn't mean that the votes for the second public will no longer be announced." He said, "You may have forgotten that the third public is the cruelest performance recognized by previous contestants-because, for this mission, 60 people present All players can participate."

Before everyone could react, Dong Xia's brows turned cold, and he said, "However, this doesn't mean that you can all stay on Sangong's stage."

It doesn't mean they can all stay on the Sangong stage... What does it mean?

The less familiar players looked at each other.

Song Yichen rubbed his arms, and thought to Zhuang: "It is indeed a cruel competition system."

Zhuang nodded in agreement.

"The vote statistics and rankings of the two players will be announced in the middle of the three players' practice." Dong Xia, "This means that some players will be eliminated in the middle, and all the efforts made for this will come to naught, and they will miss the stage of the three players."

The players exclaimed in an uproar.

"Isn't that what it means to give hope to go to hell again?"

"My God... this is too cruel!!"

After explaining the rules clearly, Dong Xia suppressed everyone's doubts and got to the point: "The task of this performance is a theme assessment. The program team has prepared five brand new songs for everyone. Before today, no one except the song producer I have heard these songs. They are about to become your own songs—the songs of the contestants who can successfully enter the Sangong stage."

For a time, the temptation of owning their own songs and the crisis of facing elimination were like ice and fire colliding crazily in the hearts of many contestants.

Especially for players in the back zone.

There is a high probability that they will not be able to stay. Originally, after Dong Xia announced the news, what they thought was to cope until they were eliminated, and they didn't want to work hard.

But - their new song!

The temptation of these seven words is really too great.

Maybe with a little more effort, it might be possible to stay?

These players who have been in the practice room for several years want to work hard, the most important thing is popularity, and popularity is brought by their works.These five songs will be their original songs. If they want to use their works to speak, what could be more convincing than the original songs?

Dong Xia followed up and said: "The five songs are divided into five groups, with twelve contestants in each group, but only seven can make it to the final stage. I hope everyone can understand the meaning of my words."

Dong Xia's expression was very serious, and the contestants also fell silent.

The competition system is like this, and the previous players have lived like this.

But they still feel...cruel.

Elimination can be eliminated directly, why let them taste the taste of success and then expel them mercilessly?

Dong Xia announced the voting rules and the principle of adding votes in an eerie silence. The amount of adding votes this time is very considerable—it’s just that not everyone can share the votes equally, which caused everyone to boo with regret. Voice.

Dong Xia finally announced the rules that should be said, and he was relieved in his heart.

It's really not easy to be a pd, it's so hated.

He sighed.

After finishing all the relevant regulations, the demos of the five new songs also started to play this time.

"Collapse", "Lighthouse", "Hush", "Word", and "Dream Foot".

Perhaps because they knew that this might be their last chance, the contestants listened carefully and stopped making noise as usual.

After the song demo was played in silence, Dong Xia turned to them and asked, "I don't know, do you like the songs created by the top musicians this time? Do you have any favorite songs?"

Only then did everyone buzz to express their opinions as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Zhuang Xiang was also struggling with choices in his heart.

But Song Yichen next to him woke up the dreamer: "PD still asked this, I remember that the audience helped us choose it before! This time there is no right to choose at all..."

He spoke in a low voice, Dong Xia naturally didn't hear it, and he even pointed out Zhuang Xiang to ask: "Zhuang Xiang, is there any song you like this time?"

Zhuang thought: "..."

Good guy, dig a hole and jump.

He thought about it for a while, but didn't say which song it was, but said, "I want to try something new this time."

Dong Xia raised his eyebrows.

Zhuang Xiang smiled at him, looking very cute with his eyes bent.

"Okay." Dong Xia didn't ask further, "No matter which song you want to choose, you don't have to worry about it this time, because the audience has already chosen for you in advance."

Song Yichen snorted softly, as if to say that it was so.

"It's time to test the tacit understanding. Will the fans across the network understand you well enough to pick out the songs you like?"

The right to choose is all in the hands of the fans. To be honest, the players are inevitably a little flustered.

I'm at a loss.

But of course this kind of words cannot be said in front of the camera, because they don't want fans to feel that they are not trusted.

Dong Xia awarded cards according to their rankings.

Zhuang wanted to turn the card over and see that it was not the title of the song, but a number.

2.

Song Yishen turned his head to look, "Brother 2?"

Zhuang Xiang turned his head and squinted at him suspiciously. He always felt that Song Yichen's words had some meaning, so he gave him a merciless abduction: "You are only 2."

"Where did you say that!!" Song Yichen held his stomach, "Damn it, is it still injured, my body!"

Too high school.

Xu Ziyi next to him tried hard to hold back a laugh.

Zhuang Xiang blinked and said sincerely, "Oh, that's really embarrassing."

Song Yichen: "..."

I didn't feel the sincerity.

Zhuang thought, "What's your number?"

Song Yichen showed it to him.

It is 3.

Xu Ziyi was a little worried. He looked at the numbered song on the screen and asked, "Is this the number of the song?"

"I hope it's not..." Song Yichen muttered, "I don't want to go to "Shush", this song keeps shushing, it's too boring."

Xu Zi translated: "Keep your voice down, what if your fans really choose this song?"

Song Yishen then silenced.

Until all the players received the cards, Dong Xia said: "Next——"

The contestants said, "Are you going to the practice room?"

"No." Dong Xia smiled, "This will only be announced tomorrow morning. The next afternoon, I will leave it to everyone to adjust their mentality. A psychological counselor will come to room 211. Players who feel confused and entangled can talk to her on their own."

San Gong is under a lot of pressure.

There is already a lot of pressure, and you have to work in Sangong for a period of time. The problem that hard work may fall short is not something that everyone can face calmly.

Although the ability to withstand stress is also one of the debut assessment criteria, not one or two contestants collapsed at this moment in the past, and there were even outbreaks of fights. Of course, this is not what the program team wants to see.

When Zhuang wanted to go out from the passageway after the dissolution, he heard a soft cat meowing in the corner.

He turned his head and saw that Xiang Ran was hiding in the darkness in a black sweater. The black raccoon cat was hiding in his pocket with only its head sticking out. A pair of brown eyes shone laser light under the refraction of the background light.

Seeing that he noticed, Xiang Ran curled his mouth and smiled.There was a gentle watery light in the cold blue eyes, and said: "Look, your laser cat."

Zhuang wanted to laugh out loud.

What a... childish old lady.
