At 7:30 in the evening, all the trainees gathered in the lecture hall.
After waiting in the dormitory, Lin Ye went to the auditorium alone when Xia Dongchan did not come back. The seating area in the classroom was already overcrowded, Xia Dongchan took the first step to occupy the seat, sat in the back row and waved to him.
The seating area is against the wall on one side and the aisle on the other. There are ten seats in each row, a total of ten rows. Xia Dongchan sat by the wall in the third row, and Lin Ye could only walk in from the side of the aisle.
The people sitting on the outside bent their legs to get out of the way. Lin Ye supported the back of the chair in the front row and slowly moved in. The two trainees in the front row hugged and fought with each other, bumping their elbows on Lin Ye. Knocked him so that he subconsciously took a step back, but the soles of his shoes stepped on the feet of the people behind him.
Without further ado, the other party pulled out the trampled foot, and Lin Ye's sole was empty, his legs and knees were bent involuntarily, and his body staggered and sat down behind him, his butt landed firmly on the lap of the person behind him.
A hand stretched out and pinched his waist to straighten him.
The tangle in the front row realized that he had bumped into someone, and hurriedly let go of the person beside him and turned to apologize to him: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Lin Ye said it was okay, and grabbed the back of the chair to get up, but found that the strength in her waist suddenly sank, and she couldn't stand up. The hands of the person behind him were still clamped around his waist motionless, Lin Ye couldn't help but tilt her head in surprise, and met Shang Jianglian's steady gaze abruptly.
Lin Ye looked shocked, and instantly felt that the skin under her thighs was burning hot, and her whole body was more restless than it was a second ago. Jiang Lian raised his hands on his waist, pushed Lin Ye up from his lap, and patted the suit trouser legs that were a little wrinkled by Lin Ye's sitting.
It seems that the fact that he was pressed on the opponent's thigh and couldn't stand up a second ago was just a fantasy and an illusion.
Lin Ye couldn't help but look back at Jiang Lian.
The other party didn't look at him, and turned to talk to Ming Rang with normal expression, leaving him with a cold profile.
Swallowing the words of apology on her lips, Lin Ye cleaned up her emotions, and walked towards the empty space beside Xia Dongchan as if nothing had happened.
At 7:40, PD Shen appeared in the classroom on time. First briefly summarize the evaluation of the theme song in the morning, and then announce the preparations for the first performance.
The form of the first public performance is a group duel. The repertoire of the tutor group duel is eight songs, and each song has an A group and a B group. Among them, seven songs are a group of six, and the remaining song is a group of eight. Among the 16 center positions, the first eight center positions are selected by several mentors, and the remaining eight are selected by all trainees through secret ballot.
Shen PD first announced the eight central positions selected by the instructor on the big screen, and then took out a stack of white paper from under the table and distributed them to them, and they wrote down the names of any other than the eight on the paper.
When the staff were counting the tickets, Lin Ye looked up at the big screen. The names of Jiang Lian, Ming Rang, and Xia Dongchan were among the eight people, and even Li Yuan's name appeared next to Xia Dongchan's.
After the counting of votes was over, PD Shen reported the names of the remaining eight elected central positions. He was not surprised that Lin Ye's name was not among them.
Shen PD released the names of the eight songs on the screen, and the trainees hooked their shoulders and whispered to each other. At the same time, they scanned the eight songs one by one, and began to find their favorite songs.
Xia Dongchan asked Lin Ye: "Do you want to be with me?"
Lin Ye followed the other party's gaze and set her sight on the vocal group, "It's not like you don't know, I can't sing."
Xia Dongchan nodded indifferently when she heard the words, but there was not much regret in her tone: "That's right, it seems that we are destined to separate."
Xia Dongchan's purpose was very clear. He didn't come here to make friends, but to participate in a competition with elimination rules.
Lin Ye lingered on the three songs of the dance group several times, recalling what Jiang Lian had asked him in the recording hall in the afternoon, but he was not sure whether the other party would choose the dance group. After all, in his opinion, Jiang Lian was the all-around type.
Five minutes later, the sixteen center members came to the stage to choose performances according to their initial rankings when they entered the island. Jiang Lian was the first one to go up, and there were eight choices before the opponent's eyes. Lin Ye's eyes fixed on Jiang Lian's back, and her lips pursed unconsciously.
Jiang Lian's raised fingertips slid across the two songs of the rap group, hovered between the six songs of the dance group and the vocal group, suddenly turned his face to the side, and glanced in the direction where the trainees were sitting.
The moment Lin Ye narrowed his eyes to Shang Jiang, Lin Ye's right thumb pressed against the pad of his index finger, unconsciously licking the faintly dry skin of his lips.
Seeing this, PD Shen asked with a smile: "Who are you looking at? Have you already discussed a group with someone?"
Ming Rangyan answered the words with a smile: "It's useless to look at me, we are destined not to be in the same group this time, we can only compete against each other on the stage."
Jiang Lian raised the corner of his lips, "Did I say I was looking at you?"
Everyone present roared with laughter.
Jiang Lian turned his head, his slender index finger passed over the vocal group, landed on the song "Typhoon Eye" below the dance group, tapped twice with his fingertips and said, "I choose this."
Lin Ye's shoulders were slightly loose, and he couldn't help laughing.
However, Jin Jianglian's group was much more difficult than expected. After all the center positions have selected the repertoire, they will also select the team members in order of ranking.
Round after round, Jiang Lian never called his name. Not only that, probably thanks to the poor performance in the previous two ratings, except for Xia Dongchan, who was agreed earlier, no one named him for the rest of the central positions.
After the first four rounds, Lin Ye was left together with the rest of Class D and Class F.
He gradually wavered in his heart, maybe Jiang Lian was not as willing to pull him into the group as he imagined, and he didn't take the joke he made on a whim in the afternoon, but he turned around and didn't take it to heart. Or maybe the other party really liked his dancing ability, but because they didn't wait for his answer, they took it for granted that Lin Ye had made another choice.
No matter which way the facts lean, Lin Ye's heart is not high.
From a rational point of view, the other four members of Jiang Lian's group are all graded in A and B classes. Even if Jiang Lian can only choose among the remaining three grades in the next round, there is no need for the other party to pull him on singing Those who lag behind enter the group. There are not no trainees in Class C who can both sing and dance.
From an emotional point of view, the relationship between him and Jiang Lian didn't seem to be good enough to make the other party like Xia Dongchan, who would directly pull him into the group regardless of his strength.
He raised his head and met Shang Xia Dongchan's raised eyebrows.
In fact, before leaving the seating area, Xia Dongchan once jokingly said to him: "If no one wants to choose you by the end of the round, you can join my group. I got in by accident. Other vocal groups or rap groups, why not come to me."
Lin Ye waved her hands when she heard the words, and said indifferently: "I can't be so miserable."
I didn't expect it to be so miserable. Lin Ye sighed softly, and curled the corners of his mouth helplessly.
At the beginning of the fifth round, Jiang Lian did not directly point people like the previous rounds.
He glanced at the sparsely populated seating area, "We now have two vocals in our team, one rapper and one dancer, which one of you defines yourself as a dancer?"
Zhao Yisheng, who was sitting in front of Lin Ye, raised his hands eagerly, and Lin Ye also looked straight at Jiang Lian, and raised his hands. In the end, he looked around from the corner of his eye, among the few people who raised their hands, only he and Zhao Yisheng were wearing green uniforms.
The competition didn't seem to be great, Lin Ye relaxed a little.
Jiang Lian looked away lightly, turned around and discussed with the other four team members standing behind him. A moment later, Lin Ye saw the other party nod slightly, and looked up at where he and Zhao Yisheng were sitting.
In the group duel system, the final reward is added to the entire group rather than individuals. It is obvious that joining the first place group is beneficial to all trainees. Thinking clearly about the advantages and disadvantages, Zhao stood up abruptly, with a bit of earnestness in his tone: "I have learned dancing and singing for several years, and I have also had the experience of singing on stage before, so I am not unfamiliar with the stage. .”
Lin Ye squinted her eyes, and stood up after Zhao Yisheng fell to the ground, and wanted to speak for herself, but Jiang Lian nodded at Zhao Yisheng, and interrupted him: "It's okay. "
Lin Ye's heart sank slightly as Zhao closed his mouth in a smug smile.
He sat back on his seat, suppressed the gloom in his heart, and couldn't help cursing secretly at himself who was still lucky with Jiang Lian two seconds ago.
After introspection, it was inevitable that he would be a little angry. Could it be that he couldn't say a word in front of Jiang Lian based on the previous friendship
Lin Ye no longer looked at Jiang Lian.
He heard someone calling his name.
He raised his head with a sullen expression, and saw Jiang Lian spread his palm towards him amid Zhao's increasingly ugly expression, "Come here."
Lin Ye paused, and the anger and depression in his heart instantly turned into shock. When he got up and walked towards the other party after a while, his face was already calm.
As if welcoming other team members, Jiang Lian opened his arms towards him, making a gesture of hugging.
Lin Ye also stretched out her arms to hug him back, but she noticed that Jiang Lian's palm was on the back of his head, and she lightly pressed Lin Ye's head on his shoulder.
She was surrounded by scorching gazes from other people, and Lin Ye's body tensed up slightly. Although she didn't know what Jiang Lian was going to do in front of everyone, she had to follow the strength of Jiang Lian's palm and put her chin on the opponent shoulders.
Fortunately, Jiang Lian didn't do anything, just pressed his lips against his earlobe, and asked him in a low voice: "What do you think Xia Dongchan is doing? Afraid I won't call you?"
In the next second, the two separated with normal expressions.
Lin Ye turned around to high-five the other four teammates.
No one noticed that the hug between Lin Ye and Jiang Lian took longer than the hug between Jiang Lian and any of the other four teammates.
