Rehearsal day.
Qin Lu habitually glanced at the weather forecast. At the end of November, the temperature in this area dropped sharply, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was large, around 3-10 degrees.
When exercising, you need to wear clothes that can facilitate your activities. Qin Lu didn't bring many clothes himself. The box of clothes that Quan Zaixian sent just happened to help.
When he went downstairs, Quan Zaixian was already warming up. Qin Lu re-laced his shoes before the morning run. When the cold air entered his respiratory tract, his brain was also much awake.
The two jogged along the previous route, Quan Zaixian glanced at Qin Lu's coat, and the corners of his mouth rose without a trace.
Half an hour later, the two walked to the dormitory one after the other, Quan Zaixian turned around holding the door handle, "It's cold, would you like some coffee?"
He noticed that Qin Lu spoke a little today. He didn't ask him if he was nervous and didn't sleep well, but raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "I'm very good at making coffee."
Qin Lu looked at the vague concern hidden in the other party's expression under the light, sighed at the palm of his hand, and nodded with a smile of anticipation: "Okay."
The kitchen was an unfamiliar territory for Quan Zaixian, and the only reason he stepped into the kitchen was to make coffee. The porcelain-white small pot gradually began to emit mist, and the aroma of coffee emanated along it, making people feel inexplicably relieved.
"Add milk and sugar?" Quan Zaixian unexpectedly didn't like the bitter taste of American style. He added a full six packets of sugar in Qin Lu's sight, took a sip, then frowned and added two more. Bag, only satisfied to stretch his brows.
Qin Lu thought about it and said simply, "Just add a little more."
The cups for pouring coffee were provided by the program team, a set of too cute animals. The cup in Qin Lu's hand was a small dark blue whale, and the cup in Quan Zaixian's hand was a chubby polar bear.
The two sat down on the doorstep and slowly drank hot coffee. It was getting late, and it was still pitch-dark. Qin Lu held the cup to warm his hands, and the steam was steaming up, drowning his eyes.
The aroma of coffee and milk floated in the air, and the surroundings were quiet, as if the world had stopped for a moment.
Quan Zaixian tapped the polar bear's head on the glass with his fingertips, "Do you know why I like to run in the morning?"
Qin Lu felt the temperature from the coffee cup and shook his head.
"Exercise secretes a substance called endorphin," Quan Zaixuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "It makes me feel relaxed."
Qin Lu took a sip of coffee, "Well, sweets can also stimulate the secretion of endorphins, which will make people feel happy."
Kwon Jae-seon smiled, "I sometimes don't think you're the same age as Sandeul, he definitely doesn't know what I'm talking about."
Qin Lu shook the cup slightly, "He doesn't need to know to be happy."
Quan Zaixian couldn't refute this, and nodded: "You are right."
The other members went downstairs one after another, and Baek Chan-do was shocked to numb when he saw Jae-jeong-ge, who was a serious cleanliness man, sitting on the steps again.
Eighteen-year-old philosopher - Idol - Sanduo Baek: The essence of human beings is a double standard.
The mood of each group going to the competition this time is not as relaxed as the previous few times. They all know that the show "White Heat" is coming to an end. After half of them are eliminated tomorrow, whether they are leaving or staying, it is time to say goodbye.
The rehearsal ended successfully.
The next day, when the fans checked in at the support point, they were not as happy and relaxed as before, and the scene was filled with a tense atmosphere.
When the live fans enter the venue, the live broadcast will start early as always, and enter the background for a short visit.
[come ah ah ah]
[Although there is actually another game later, it may be that there are too many people leaving this game, and I always feel a very reluctant feeling _(:з"∠)_]
[Can Bai Hot Hua be broadcast for 100 years? 55555 does not need to compete, I can watch the daily life of my idols for 100 years! ! For this reason, I am willing to be a platform member QAQ all the time]
[I don't know if my sister is here today, I don't have any big wishes, just let me be friends with my sister! ! ! Then by the way, take me to chase the stars together, and I will be consummated 5555555]
[Off the topic, I just want a brother like Qin Lu, will the country send a brother QAQ]
[Although I am a few years older than Qin Lu, my brother can do it too! ! ! ]
[Hahaha Lu Fan laughed so hard, the topic gradually drifted away [doge]]
[Sister: Are you polite? [dog head.jpg]]
Even if you haven't actually been to the backstage, after watching these few competitions, fans already feel a little familiar and friendly with the backstage at the competition site.
The order of each visit is random. This time, the first person to visit is the dressing room of 4seven.
The camera swept over the members who greeted the audience, and soon fans realized that one person was missing—
Lucy is not here.
[Hey, where is Lucy going! ]
[Did you go to the bathroom? Can we see Lucy in advance at that time? QAQ]
The staff obviously asked a question by the way, and Xu Zheran, who was putting on makeup, simply replied, "Go to infinite9's dressing room to find him. He should be looking for Qin Lu."
The barrage suddenly brushed quickly.
[Hahahahaha that’s what it is! ! ]
[What's the matter, can you let me hear it too! (put one ear)
[infinite9 hides non-staff members, 4seven perennial external guest - Lucy [dog head]]
[Aren't you competitors, no one at 4seven thinks it's wrong 2333333]
[Qi Yuxuan: What can I say, Qin Lu's first TV series was recommended by me [Tan Shou.jpg]]
[An Ming: Qin Lu can make delicious fried scorpions, I would like to call them a good friend]
[You are enough 2333333]
The staff then turned the camera to infinite9's dressing room, but found that neither Qin Lu nor Lu Xi were there.
So the staff froze for a moment and then asked again. Fan Xi raised his hand and said enthusiastically, "Ah, Lu just went out. You might be able to see him at 4seven."
Staff: "...I've been there."
[no nesting dolls hhhhh]
[No prize quiz, the white-hot unsolved mystery today, where are Qin Lu and Lu Xi? [doge]]
[Staff: You may not believe it, I just came from there, they asked me to come to you]
[Shuanglu is absolutely amazing, I have never hit such a wonderful cross-group cp [Secure.jpg]]
[Thank you, the two parties didn't see it, and still snorted _(:з"∠)_]
[Sisters, I really didn't do it on purpose, I just made up the 200,000-word entertainment circle text in a flash, I killed myself (lying flat)
From the live broadcast perspective, fans still didn't know where Qin Lu and Lu Xi went until they followed the staff to the last group.
[Today is a day QAQ without seeing Lu Lu in advance]
[Can't you see Lu Lu before the stage?]
The camera advances, and Quan Zaixuan has done makeup and hair, and is slowly peeling off the sugar paper.
[… what? ? ? Do you Watson have any blind spots? ? ]
[Am I wrong? This fruit candy seems to be the kind that Lu Lu bought. It will be given to Brother Liao before every competition. I just saw the candy paper at infinite9]
[That's right! ! This is the kind of candy in Brother Liao's hand just now, Lu Lu will give Brother Liao a few each time]
[Will there be such a coincidence! Are there any BA fans out there to talk about qwq]
[Zai Xian Fan is here! Indeed, we like to eat sweets very much in the string, not only sugar, coffee also likes to add a lot of sugar! But this is the first time for BA to come here to participate in the show, I don't know which domestic brands will buy...]
[I feel like I missed a lot of wonderful content! Is there anything in QAQ that noble VIPs can't watch? 555555]
The live broadcast ended soon, and it was a pity that the audience could not see Qin Lu and Lu Xi in advance.
After the fans entered the venue, the competition officially started soon.
Online viewers have deliberately observed it. When the camera swept across the front row, they did not see Qin Yihan.
[Ah, I suddenly remembered, is my sister taking the midterm exam at this time? ]
[No wonder I didn't come hh, this working party suddenly felt a little more balanced qwq]
The on-site tickets are drawn at random, so the distribution of fans is completely random, and everything is unknown.
The host came on the stage quickly, and after a brief warm-up, he simply invited the first guest to perform.
[K-NEP is so difficult, their group can neither choreograph nor arrange music, but how to fix it, thinking about it makes a headache for them]
[And there are so many people eliminated this time, I feel cold... (Pure passers-by, no malice, I feel that they are a bit disadvantaged orz]
[Actually, I don’t think idols must have creative ability. Singing and dancing is the most important thing in business ability, but the show is competitive, so it is understandable]
[It can only be said that K-NEP is indeed a bit unlucky _(:з"∠)_]
Soon, however, all the live and online fans looked at the stage in surprise.
When the lights came on, there were four high chairs in the center of the stage. The members of K-NEP wore slim and straight suits, one long leg was on the ground, and one leg was slightly bent on the crossbar.
Xi Fan lowered his head to adjust the acoustic guitar, exchanged a tacit glance with his teammates, and rhythmically tapped the log three times before plucking the strings.
[Wow! ! This idea is really clever! ]
[I never thought there was such a way... K-NEP skipped the part that couldn't be done, and it actually worked for them]
[The style is not limited, absolutely]
[Although I can't say that the melody catches my ears, it is at least a complete stage, much better than I imagined]
[I didn't bite the bullet and do things that I couldn't learn in a short period of time, make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses, and didn't pull the crotch for extra points! ]
[As far as the last stage is concerned, this time doesn't seem like an idea that K-NEP could come up with hhh]
In fact, the barrage guessed right.
three days ago.
In fact, it is not unlucky to encounter a theme that requires originality, because competition is like this, and there is no way to predict what problems will be faced next. It's just that they were stagnant in the first few days of the creative process. No one in the group can choreograph, no one can arrange music, and they have not even written lyrics and music themselves. I don't know where to start, but the program team clearly stated that the rules are that no foreign aid is allowed, for fairness.
Otherwise, you can find foreign aid, but others can't, which violates the fairness of the competition.
A week and a half later, K-NEP still has no progress at all.
When Qin Lu saw that the back door was not closed, he thought it was Hualin, but he walked over and opened the door, but unexpectedly found that Pei Jiangsheng was sitting on the swing.
Hearing the voice, Pei Jiangsheng looked back and saw Qin Lu, "Ah, Hua Lin didn't lie to me."
Qin Lu sat down on another swing: "what did Hua Lin say?"
Pei Jiangsheng said dejectedly, "He said that I might run into you when I get here."
Qin Lu looked at him: "what's the matter, didn't it go well?"
Pei Jiangsheng grabbed the rope of the swing and looked up at the sky: "I don't know what to do at all. We have never learned how to compose music, and we don't know how to choreograph it. It's too difficult to learn it temporarily, and these are not easy to do at all. It feels like a complete waste of time right now.”
Qin Lu listened quietly, but was not in a hurry. He thought about it and said, "If you can't do it, you don't need to arrange it. If you can't do it yourself, you can give up first and do what you can do."
Pei Jiangsheng stopped shaking and turned to look at Qin Lu thoughtfully.
Qin Lu simply said, "Do you have any musical instruments that you know?"
Pei Jiangsheng: "Xi Fan can play the guitar well."
Qin Lu: "That's enough."
His voice is very clean, he speaks slowly and slowly, and after listening for a long time, he will unconsciously feel very at ease.
"It doesn't mean that you can't write a song if you haven't tried to write a song. Putting together a simple melody and processing the tune that you hummed in a flash, even if the song you write isn't amazing, it's a good start."
"The show is not your end, it's just a process. If you can learn something, just enjoy the stage."
"The simplest guitar accompaniment only requires basic chords and no post-arrangement. Because there are no rules, you don't have to dance. Every competition in the past has dance, and the audience who have watched all the way know your dance strength. You can simply not dance, just sing."
Pei Jiangsheng's expression changed from depression to refreshment as Qin Lu finished his words patiently.
He jumped off the swing, thanked him earnestly, and rushed back to the dormitory in high spirits.
Qin Lu felt the invasion of the cold air with hindsight. As soon as he walked in the door, he saw a box of strawberry yogurt in front of him.
Hua Lin bit the straw, and the one in his hand was the original flavor: "I can't help him, but I always think you can. It seems that I guessed right."
Qin Lu took it and reluctantly emphasized it again: "I really have no obsession with strawberries."
Hua Lin smiled lazily and nodded: "I remember, so I didn't force myself to drink strawberry flavored this time."
Qin Lu: "..."
Ok.
