Chapter 38



June 5th, the day before the semifinals.

As usual, Xiao Yi and Jing Lu went to the program team to report, and discussed about the last part of the song that they were going to perform. After that had ended, the show director said: "Xiao Yi, please stay aside later."

Xiao Yi knew that the program director had something to discuss with him, so he sat in the corridor and waited. He asked Jing Lu to head back first, and then he browsed Weibo. He saw that his fans were posting  The competition is about to start, Brother Xiao Yi, you must rest well. 

Then someone began to call Xiao Yi "My Yi".

When Xiao Yi saw this title, he simply did not know what to say. He was sad and moved, and felt very sorry towards his fans. Everyone was waiting for him to get a good result, but he was doomed to be eliminated.

He had more than two million fans now.

The program director opened the door and called Xiao Yi to enter.

"We watched the video." The director said, "Hmm...... Xiao Yi, you are sure that you've communicated with President Du, and there is no problem right?"

"Yes." Xiao Yi asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yi noticed that even the deputy director was here, and he nodded to him. There were also the publicity and planning teams having meetings in the room.

"If you have something to say, please do so." Xiao Yi said, "It doesn't matter."

"It's like this." The program director said, "Someone called to say hello yesterday and gave you a sponsorship fee. It was a direct call."

Xiao Yi: "......"

"How much?" Xiao Yi could instinctively feel that this matter was serious.

The program director said: "One million, but I don't know the situation clearly, so I wanted to ask you first. Do I need to talk to your President Du?"

Xiao Yi understood in an instant that this was money given from his friend, but wasn't the company supposed to be solely responsible for this matter? He said: "Who gave the money?"

"Zheng Xiaocong Studio." The program director said.

Xiao Yi knew right away, Luzhou must have given this money!

"I'll get in touch with them." Xiao Yi said, "Please wait for five minutes."

Xiao Yi went out to make a call. Zheng Xiaocong had a strong background, and when it came to playing tricks, if Luzhou asked him to help and intervene in his own arrangements, he might even advance in the competition directly.

"Ermm......" Xiao Yi called Zheng Xiaocong's personal phone. He had been an assistant to Luzhou for so long, and the contacts from then were still stored. "Brother Xiaocong?"

"Hey Xiao Yi, speak." Zheng Xiaocong was calm and leisurely.

Xiao Yi knew that Zheng Xiaocong was not a talker, but he was very loyal. He usually hung out with a group of second-generation officials daily, and he would never leave a favor unpaid. Luzhou told him that when dealing with this kind of person, just adore him, do not act brave in front of him.

"Did you pay the sponsorship fee for me?" Xiao Yi said, "But I already have a prior arrangement with President Du."

Zheng Xiaocong was also a little surprised, and said: "Did Lin Chengshu tell you?"

Lin Chengshu was the name of the deputy director. Xiao Yi said: "Yes, actually I don't plan to win, my main purpose is...... to accompany the company's newcomer."

"It doesn't matter as long as you dare to love." Zheng Xiaocong said vaguely with a cigarette in his mouth. "Luzhou helped you pay for it. He was afraid that you would be shortchanged by Dumei, and probably doesn't know about the arrangement between the two of you. I think it's up to you. If you don’t want to play, don’t play. If you want to play, just continue to play. Talent show dogs all have a virtue...

"This... this......" Xiao Yi said, "How about I transfer the money back to you and go by your account?"

"It's okay." Zheng Xiaocong said, "Later when you run into Luzhou, you can return it to him then."

Xiao Yi: "Is Brother Zhou beside you?"

"No, I'm having sex with my girl, not talking to you any longer." Zheng Xiaocong said, "Hanging up."

Xiao Yi: "......"

Xiao Yi hung up the phone and returned to the office. A group of people looked at him.

On that very day, Xiao Yi resolved everything and returned home. He sighed and wanted to say something to Lu Fa Cai's side account, but did not know how to start.

 
Today's headline on Weibo was: 
Luzhou appeared in Macau, betting tens of millions.

According to inside sources, Luzhou, Zheng Xiaocong and others went to Macau last Wednesday and spent millions at the casino.

Xiao Yi closed Weibo and went to the company as usual the next day.

He and Jing Lu’s recording time was in the afternoon, so they made an appointment to meet at the company in the morning. Dumei was browsing today’s Weibo, and it happened to be the  Monday news that Luzhou reappeared. The news spread all over the city, but since he was not in trend anymore, and the matter was not anything scandalous, the topic trend was far behind the hundred thousands of reposts of that year.

However, Li Changzheng was in the limelight, and he accepted a new TV drama. It seemed that he wanted to develop in the TV drama circle. 

Wu Henggu also came, and Dumei gave him four scripts to choose from, all of which were this year's largest production dramas.

Xiao Yi was only aware unwittingly. There were so many things that had happened in the TV drama circle, but he didn't care much. It was only June, and it had been less than a year after Luzhou's injury last year. Everything had gone by really fast.

"Luzhou came to the company the day before yesterday." Dumei said.

"What did he say?" Xiao Yi asked immediately.

Dumei said: "He didn't say anything, he just came back to complete some formalities."

Xiao Yi asked: "How has he been lately?"

"A little haggard." Dumei replied, "Overall it's still like that."

Xiao Yi asked again: "What else?"

Dumei said: "He said that you did a good job so he is sincerely happy for you that you have today's achievements."

Xiao Yi: "......"

Xiao Yi's eyes turned red. Dumei continued: "He also said that he hopes you will sing well and win in the finals. The company also thinks so. You really don't want to reconsider it?

Xiao Yi shook his head.

"We're leaving." Xiao Yi said to Dumei.

Xiao Yi took Jing Lu to participate in a program recording in the afternoon. The two of them ate burgers at McDonald's and some fans recognized them. The fans were taken aback from surprise, but Xiao Yi smiled and greeted them.

"Can I have an autograph?" A fan directly ignored Jing Lu and asked Xiao Yi for his autograph.

"It will eventually become extinct." Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled at the fan, "Save it well."

Xiao Yi finished his burger, and faced Jing Lu to say: "Let's go."

They were already familiar with today's program recording. Jing Lu went first, then followed by Xiao Yi.

The song that Xiao Yi had chosen today was composed by himself - both music and lyrics. When he was preparing backstage, there was a sudden sensation over the entire lounge. 

"Let me see, really here?" Many people ran out straight away. 

"What?" Jing Lu was puzzled, poking his head and looking around.

Xiao Yi said: "Leave them alone, concentrate on the lines."

Other than the song to be performed by the both of them, there was also another section which was to be prepared in advance. Xiao Yi said to Jing Lu, "I will leave the rest to you. I am willing to lose to you." 

Jing Lu said: "I...... I can only sing......"

Xiao Yi said again: "Go on with my blessings, Jing Lu, and defeat them."

Jing Lu put down his script.

"It's good enough." Xiao Yi said, "We're not professional actors. It's almost done, let the editing team do their job."

Xiao Yi took a deep breath. They were the afternoon's first performance. Xiao Yi looked back and saw that there was no one in the dressing room.

Xiao Yi: "? ? ?"

"Where did everyone go?" Xiao Yi thought to himself, maybe he and Jing Lu were so awkward that they all ran away. Jing Lu went out to call for someone, and then was taken aback and said: "Teacher Xiao, many people came! They are all big shots!"

Xiao Yi: "......"

Xiao Yi stepped out to take a look, and almost went crazy.

Ning Yaqing, Qi Ai, Zheng Xiaocong, Hu Yang, Wu Henggu, Lei Min...... a group of big shots, and...... Li Changzheng! Li Changzheng and Duma were sitting together separately from that group and chatting.

Damnit what are you people trying to do! Are you still letting me sing! What's so nice to watch about this! Xiao Yi almost burst his bladder. Suddenly, the urge to pee ran through his entire body, and he even saw that almost all of his friends in the WeChat circle had come. Even the marketing coordinator of some film crew... Xiao Yi wondered Don't you all need to film?!

"Teacher Lu doesn't seem to be here......" Jing Lu looked around. Xiao Yi didn't see Luzhou either. He felt a little disappointed, but thought it was okay, it was better not to come......

The makeup artist applied makeup on the two of them, while all the other contestants ran out to find the big shots for autographs. Xiao Yi thought You guys are really...... you should turn back and thank this father. This group of people comprised of both celebrities and staff, so if the studio was dismantled and reinstalled, five or six TV shows could be directly filmed.

He was so nervous before he went on stage, he hadn't been like this for many years.

Jing Lu sang first, and the program director came again.

"That......" the program director said, "Xiao Yi, your friends are all here."

"Ah." Xiao Yi said, "Yes...... it seems so."

The program director said: "Should I talk to the judges again?"

Xiao Yi immediately said: "No need, they are just here to join in the fun."

"Okay." The program director said again, "Act well."

Xiao Yi thought Usually those who joined in the fun would cause trouble. Director, you’d better dispatch more security guards, otherwise it'll be bad if something goes wrong. Recently, Ning Yaqing is fighting very heatedly with Zhang Xinran. Be careful when they watch the game. They might just burst Qi Quan's entire head...

Jing Lu finished singing. He stepped off the stage and high-fived Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi took the microphone and walked onto the stage.

"Ah——" Ning Yaqing screamed, "Xiao Yi——!"

"Xiao Yi Xiao Yi!" Li Changzheng shouted with a smile.

Xiao Yi almost fell onto the stage. Qi Ai also started screaming. A group of stars created a disturbance in the auditorium, and the audience invited by the crew then discovered this incredible event. Everyone got up, looked towards the back of the auditorium, and then screamed frantically.

"Oh my god —— Li Changzheng ah ah ah ——"

In an instant the whole set was in chaos. Xiao Yi immediately said, "Stop!"

Xiao Yi held the mike. Qi Quan's complexion turned black immediately, and the four judges stood up and looked back. Such a group of people, all famous stars of various TV series, it felt like they had come for a showdown.

"Dear judges, dear audience." Xiao Yi said, "Hello everyone, I am Xiao Yi. Everyone wait until I'm done singing and then you can ask your male gods and female goddesses for their autographs, okay?!"

The whole auditorium calmed down. Zheng Xiaocong smiled, and spoke to Ning Yaqing next to him, but Ning Yaqing seemed disdainful.

Ning Yaqing was in a stalemate with Zhang Xinran, and all sorts of methods were used. When Qi Quan saw that Ning Yaqing had arrived, he could not wait to pull out the bra of some female guest next door, and personally help their family's Xinran strangle Ning Yaqing to death.

However, he couldn't afford to offend Zheng Xiaocong, and everyone could only grudgingly smile.

"Flowing water runs through my heart..." Xiao Yi strummed the guitar as he sang in a low voice, "For my one wish, to see you......"

After these two sentences, the prelude started. Xiao Yi's a cappella was very clear. The audience was quiet. His friends were holding light sticks, waving in accordance to Xiao Yi's singing and the clear sounds of his guitar.

"We were once separated, separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, no matter how difficult it is to continue..."

"I still remember the promise that we made, but you are nowhere to be seen..."

Xiao Yi casually strummed the guitar strings, and they shook.

After a pause of several seconds.

"My love crosses the sky..." Xiao Yi sang loudly, "Oh my love! My love never dies."

"My love! When can I meet you again!"

"Even though the fleeting years fly, and our youth ages, I will always love you..."

"I will always love you, just like in the past!"

Xiao Yi sang this old song from his past, but it was Luzhou who he remembered. The days they were together, bit by bit the days they had, from a poverty-stricken loser, to finally walking onto this stage.

He sang the chorus very vigorously, and his voice even choked a little. The entire audience was silent, and everyone looked at him.

There were tears in Xiao Yi's eyes. Near the end, he suddenly saw a person. He saw in the audience, in the last row, the last person sitting on the left.

The man was holding a bottle of drink in his hand, and wore a hooded black sportswear, sweatpants, and had the hood and a pair of sunglasses on. He was looking at Xiao Yi in silence, and tapping his foot regularly with the rhythm.

Xiao Yi immediately put the guitar down and ran towards the audience. The place went up in commotion again, and the man speedily ran out through the back door.

Xiao Yi did not dare to shout, for fear that as soon as he shouted out, the audience would hear it. He went out to the corridor to chase after the guy, while the director chased behind him.

"Teacher Xiao Yi!" The director said, "What happened?"

Xiao Yi stood in the corridor blankly. The corridor was empty.

"Nothing." Xiao Yi replied.

Xiao Yi followed the director back to the studio. Luzhou leaned behind the emergency exit and let out a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yi returned to the stage, and nodded in confusion.

Qi Quan smiled and said: "You have finished singing?"

"I thought you would perform another sort of skewer or something." Wang Jing said with a smile.

Xiao Yi stood in the middle of the stage, holding the guitar. He said: "This is a song I had written when we were all young."

"It's good." Ji Zi said, "It's so good."

Pang Niu said: "Will you have an encore?"

Xiao Yi waved his hand: "No more."

Luzhou came back. Now he just wanted to end the competition as soon as possible, and quickly head back to find him. He was not even in the mood to go through the next recording, but with so many people in the audience, he could not be perfunctory, so Xiao Yi took a deep breath. He could hardly contain the excitement in his heart.

"Did it sound good?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile towards the audience.

Everyone applauded. Xiao Yi smiled and said: "I love you all, thank you to all the friends who came to see me today."

The audience screamed again. Zheng Xiaocong clapped his hands, then got up and left first. Ning Yaqing blew a kiss at him, then also got up to leave. All the stars left early to avoid being surrounded by fans. The security guards rushed in before Li Changzheng left, blocking the path behind him, lest there be any manmade tragedies like causing a studio to collapse or something.

"Both of you can sing very well." Pang Niu said, "I don't know who to choose."

Ji Zi smiled regretfully: "Can I not choose!"

"Nope." Xiao Yi said with a smile after hearing the comments.

All the judges laughed, and Wang Jing said: "There is still a pk segment, why don't we take a look at their impromptu pk?"

Qi Quan said: "Starting——"

The four judges hit their lights at the same time, and the venue instantly dimmed.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" The pre-recorded male voice reported to the scene, "The random selection of songs begins, karaoke time! Stay tuned for more!"

The TV wall instantly turned into the headshots of thousands of singers, and four flashing electronic frames quickly switched and jumped between the headshots. Wang Jing was the first to tap the button and shouted: "Faye Wong!"

"Teacher Guan Mucun!" Ji Zi also pressed the light.

Pang Niu smiled and said, "Chen Huilin!"

Xiao Yi thought You guys are acting really hard, acting skills are a must to even be a guest star this year..... Then, Qi Quan smiled and said: "Jolin Tsai."

The four electronic frames stopped, each landing on the heads of the four female singers called to form a quadrilateral, and then they were connected by diagonal lines and connected to each other, and two lines crossed at the midpoint to set a point.

That point fell on the head of a fifth female singer.

"Yang Mi." The vigorous male voice announced.

There was joy in the whole venue, and everyone was laughing. Xiao Yi smiled and glanced at Jing Lu.

Jing Lu said: "Xiao Yi, do you know how to sing those songs?"

"A little." Xiao Yi gave Jing Lu a thumbs up and said, "Do your best."

Fans at the site began to prepare to press their remote controls. Xiao Yi and Jing Lu walked from the side of the stage to the middle, and a vertical voting progress bar appeared behind each of them.

"I'll sing the first sentence." Xiao Yi said.

Jing Lu made a "please" action, and then the prelude started. The video wall behind began to show karaoke lyrics and consecutively played a mv.

"Hold you up on my hand~ Burning incense religiously~" Xiao Yi's voice was low, carrying a few trembles.

Jing Lu: "Cut out a candlelight to lit your ambition and ability..."

Jing Lu and Xiao Yi looked at each other, and the two began to sing in a duet. Xiao Yi stepped back. He glanced at the screen, and then at the audience.

"Not requesting for a deep love, only seeking for one scene of affection..."

"Loved till I was hurt in the end, crying so desperately..."

Xiao Yi and Jing Lu stopped singing at the same time, and the chorus began.

"I have exhausted my whole life to support you. I only hope that you will stop and look around. Please grant me unlimited love——and the power of being loved!"

Wang Jing hit her light and it made a ding-dong sound. The progress bar behind Xiao Yi went up by one hundred points. The audience shouted continuously. Then Qi Quan smiled and pressed his light. This time it was for Jing Lu.

The audience began to cheer for the two people and started to give them points as well. Each person had only one point to vote, and could only vote for one of them, while one vote from the judges was equivalent to one hundred points.

From the beginning till then, Xiao Yi was a little bit ahead of Jing Lu. Everyone was shouting, each shouting their own cheers. Following closely, Pang Niu gave the third vote to Jing Lu. Jing Lu instantly overtook him, and the audience shouted. Xiao Yi’s score gradually rose again.

"You who is floating in the sea of ​​bitterness, that past look..." Xiao Yi deliberately messed up a little at this sentence, causing himself to perform below expectation.

Ding dong, Ji Zi cast the last vote for Jing Lu.

The two great handsome guys sang this song very well. Jing Lu began to change his tone, while Xiao Yi helped him harmonize with oh oh oh.

All votes were cast, and after the singing ended, the audience applauded.

"The cooperation is very good." Wang Jing said, "This is the first time I've seen competitors cooperate so well."

Wang Jing looked at the other judges, and Ji Zi said: "Why did everybody have such big reactions when this song came out?"

The audience burst into laughter, and Ji Zi was left puzzled. Qi Quan smiled and said: "I realized that Xiao Yi is very gentle."

"Thank you." Xiao Yi hurriedly said. 

Pang Niu smiled and said: "How about the two of you just proceed to the next level together, and you can start a duo in the future."

Everyone was laughing. Wang Jing said: "I think the points are also similar. What should we do?"

The stage was quiet. Xiao Yi and Jing Lu looked at each other, both had scored similarly high. Xiao Yi had 430 points, and Jing Lu had 455 points.

"Xiao Yi! Xiao Yi!" Someone shouted from the audience.

"I lost." Xiao Yi said to Jing Lu, "I didn't sing the last sentence of the chorus well."

"I heard it." Ji Zi said, "But you still have a chance of resurrection."

Jing Lu turned to Xiao Yi and said: "You sing very well, Xiao Yi."

Xiao Yi smiled. He waved his hand and said: "Thank you judges.

The director yelled: "Cut."

The four judges all drank water. Xiao Yi and Jing Lu took a break while Wang Jing was still asking: "The movie stars have all left?"

"Left." Ji Zi said with a smile.

The director said: "Judges take a short break, we still have some problems to sort out."

The director quickly stepped onto the stage. Xiao Yi and Jing Lu got up, and the director said: "The score was wrong just now, it will need to be changed backstage when the time comes. The difference should not be too small, okay?"

"Of course." Xiao Yi said, "Change it. Do you need to record it again?"

The director also had a headache. To ask everyone to do it again with such passion, he must be kidding, it would feel very terrifying. 

Xiao Yi said: "How about this. After we leave the stage, and today's filming is over, we will shoot a few close-ups of the video wall scores separately, then edit them, and photoshop them in the competition?"

The director thought for a while and said, "The producer said the same thing too, let's do that first. If the effect is not satisfactory, you will both be notified to come back and record again. The judges don't need to come again, okay?"

Xiao Yi replied: "No problem."

After the judges' break ended, the director started to prepare again, and said: "This time this was done in one take, everyone has worked hard, come."

Xiao Yi and Jing Lu stood in the middle again. Jing Lu looked at Xiao Yi, and remained silent for a while.

On the contrary, Xiao Yi was very open-minded. Neither of them spoke. Xiao Yi stepped forward and hugged him tightly.

The director made a gesture. The audience frantically applauded, and everyone stood up.

Wang Jing shook his head and sighed. The camera turned to him, and Wang Jing hushed and applauded.

On the stage:

"You are a very gentle person." Jing Lu said with a trembling voice, "Thank you, Xiao Yi. I have learned a lot in the days I have known you."

Xiao Yi: "You sing very well, better than me. This is me speaking from the heart, my gentleness is on the surface, and your gentleness is in the song."

Jing Lu looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi: "I will leave the rest to you. I am willing to lose to you." Xiao Yi pinned his pin onto Jing Lu's sleeve.

Jing Lu said: "I...... I can only sing......"

Xiao Yi said again: "Go on with my blessings, Jing Lu, and defeat them."

Jing Lu stepped off the stage and Xiao Yi whistled at him.

"You must do your best!" Xiao Yi shouted earnestly, "Understood?"

The whole audience clapped wildly again. Jing Lu burst into tears, and when he came down to hug the judges, Ji Zi pinned the third flashing pin onto Jing Lu’s collar. The camera followed Jing Lu and took a close-up of his face, as Jing Lu wiped away his tears and gave a thumbs up to the camera.

Xiao Yi was left standing on the stage.

"Tell me about yourself." Wang Jing said.

"Hey, I realized that in every season of the show." Pang Niu said, "There is always one person who is unconventional, haven't you all noticed?"

Pang Niu gestured towards Xiao Yi with both hands, and said with a smile: "Previously, I still remember that there was a tall and thin man who didn't speak at all, and just sang when he came up. This time, there is someone like him. ."

Xiao Yi gave a faint smile and said nothing.

Ji Zi said: "He has a good temper, no matter what you say, he is still smiling."

Qi Quan said: "He is also very engrossed when he sings."

Xiao Yi said: "Well, participating in this competition, I have met many friends and it is the happiest period of time I've had."

"Actually." Xiao Yi thought for a while and said, "I came to participate in this competition to tell someone this. I have something to say, but I cannot say it to him*, maybe he and I are thousands of miles apart... just like in the song, my love travels across the sky......" as Xiao Yi spoke, he started to sing, "My love flows endlessly, oh my love!"

*'他' or 'He/Him' used here in Chinese by the author is indeed the male 'he', but since female and male pronouns have the same pronunciation [他 (he/him) = ta, 她 (she/her) = ta], the judges and audience think that the 'he' Xiao Yi is talking about is a 'she'. 

"My love! When can I meet you again..." Xiao Yi's smile was sweet but with a few points of sadness.

"So you are here to confess?" Wang Jing said, "Which girl*? Is she here? Stand up!"

Everyone laughed again, and Wang Jing said: "Oh oh, I forgot, what is the something, you haven't said yet."

"Yes......" Xiao Yi said, "I love you. I, love you. It's that kind of love, yes, the kind of love you're thinking about right now."

There was an uproar in the audience. Xiao Yi looked at the camera seriously and said: "The love of a lover, the love from a romance. Although I have said it many times, you always think that I'm joking, but I want to say it here so that you definitely must believe it, you will believe it."

"Gentle boy." Ji Zi shook his head and smiled, "I think you should be placed in the national finals so that more people will hear your confession."

Wang Jing said: "Is your girlfriend* here today?"

Xiao Yi thought for a while and said: "He* is not here."

Ji Zi asked: "What's her name?"

Xiao Yi said: "Needless to say, he will know."

"But let's be serious." Qi Quan said with a smile, "You have gone through five levels, defeated six generals, and killed a bloody way to your confession. Have you thought about how you want to develop in the future?"

Wang Jing smiled and said: "After the preliminary game aired, you became popular overnight."

Xiao Yi smiled and said: "Well, but I may not sing in front of everyone anymore. First of all, I want to thank my fans for their support. No matter where I am, I promise that I will only disappear from the camera. In fact, I will always be around."

"As for my future." Xiao Yi said, "Before the competition, the crew recorded a video of me. If I am eliminated, it will be broadcasted. I think what I need to say, I have said in the video. Everyone —— goodbye!"

Xiao Yi finally finished his script smoothly and ran off the stage. Everyone got up and applauded. The judges looked over at Xiao Yi as he ran out of the studio and passed through the corridor. The camera seemed to be always chasing after him.

Xiao Yi blew a kiss towards the camera and said: "Muah!" He did not have any patience to stay here any longer, and ran out the entire way.

The judges sat back in their seats and the director began to broadcast the video recorded by Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi had watched this video before, and the director and staff had also watched it, but the audience and the judges have not.

"My name is Xiao Yi."

Early summer in Beijing, under the shade of the trees, Xiao Yi carried a schoolbag and stood in the shade under those trees in Houhai. He walked all the way, his voice was calm and faint, like the gentle breeze that was ever present.

"The program team asked if I was eliminated, what would I like to say to the tv audience."

Xiao Yi sat on a stone fence in Shichahai, smiled at the camera, and said:

"I never thought about being able to advance, so maybe my journey would be stopped before the finals."

"As for after this."

Xiao Yi was wearing a clean white shirt and his hair was cut short. When he spoke, his eyebrows would be slightly raised, and he had an image of a clean male.

"I will go where I should be." Xiao Yi said, "Let go of all worries and do what I want to do. Once someone taught me that, and allowed me to sing boldly."

"But compared to singing, I prefer another profession that I can't give up no matter what. After leaving it, I couldn't let go no matter how many days and nights had passed. I think what I learned from him is to pursue what I want, when I understand myself, nothing can stop me from running fast."

"If you are my fan." Xiao Yi pointed at the camera and then at himself with his thumb. He said with a smile: "Please give me strength. After I'm eliminated, I will quit the Internet and pursue my career and love, I will not appear in front of the public again, but I promise you that one day, everyone will hear my song."

Sunrise, Beijing. Dust settled.

Xiao Yi sat on some steps and gave Dumei a call.

Dumei said: "I watched this afternoon's recording. The program team said that your confession is too long and that they need to cut some out."

Xiao Yi said: "Oh, whatever, those words were actually said for myself."

Dumei: "I asked them to retain it as much as possible. Jing Lu was put under a lot of pressure by you. He will be in trouble if he does not become famous when he enters the next round, where only eight out of sixteen can pass."

Xiao Yi said: "He can do it. Everyone's eyes will be on him, and my fans will support him too. The more brilliant my curtain call, the stronger the topic of his next round. Because when they see him in the competition, fans will think of me who had been eliminated, and that he was working hard for me as well."

Du Mei said: "It's really a headache, but that's true. That kid needs to work harder."

Xiao Yi hung up the phone and thought about how he should mention to Dumei about resignation. There were mosquitoes everywhere in the summer, and his neck was full of bumps. Xiao Yi smacked the mosquitoes while browsing through his circle of friends.

Everyone in his circle of friends seemed to have talked about it, that no one should mention the elimination. Everyone asked Xiao Yi to come out for dinner. As Xiao Yi scratched his arms and legs, he agreed. He put the phone to his mouth and talked quietly. Deep in the night, the light from the phone made his whole face green.

"Wah ah ah ah——" Lu Zhou instantly roared wildly.

Luzhou was holding his car key and had just reached home. He suddenly saw Xiao Yi's face that was illuminated by his cell phone. Xiao Yi had a weird smile on his face, and was even rolling his eyes to look at him with the whites of his eyes. He was so frightened that his blood vessels  almost burst and caused his death.

"Brother Zhou! It's me, it's me! It's me!" Xiao Yi cried out loudly and rushed forward. He hugged Lu Zhou and was almost in tears.

Luzhou was holding onto the railing while panting with fright. He could not recover for a while, and when he finally calmed down, he said: "I'm old, old...... Can you not torment me......"

Luzhou stepped forward to open the door, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong. His face changed, and his whole body became a little unnatural.

"What are you doing here!" Luzhou said, "Get out!"

Xiao Yi said: "Go in first, don't tug about outside, let's talk about it inside. Don't wash your dirty linen in public......"

"You...... you also know that you're dirty linen!" Luzhou yelled angrily and wanted to drive Xiao Yi away, but Xiao Yi was dead set against leaving. He hugged Luzhou's thighs, looking like Tzuki, and was dragged into Luzhou's house.

*This could be Xiao Yi :P


Raw word count: 8317
