Lin Ye didn't answer his question because his breakfast came.
Worrying that some people still didn't eat breakfast, Wen Mian bought an extra one. Except for Lin Ye, all the teammates had breakfast. He went to the next classroom to ask again, and gave the extra breakfast to the trainees in the next group.
The trainee who was fed was very moved, and even held Wen Fang's hand and swore: "On the day the program team distributes the mobile phone, I will definitely register a small account to vote for you."
Wen Mian thanked the other party for coming back, raised his eyebrows at Lin Ye who was eating breakfast, "Look at him, and then at you."
Lin Ye didn't change his face, "I'm different from him." He raised his lips and smiled, "He voted for himself, and he will vote for you by the way. I'm one pick for you."
Wen Fang couldn't stop laughing.
In the afternoon, everyone in Group A went to the beauty room to dye their hair. The assistants were busy making preparations, and the styling teacher picked out two colors for them, purple gray and milk gray, according to the costumes on the day of the performance.
Jiang Lian, Cheng Chi, and Yan Changfei were in the Zihui group, while Lin Ye, Wen Mian, and Qi Suan were in the Milky group.
While waiting to wash his hair, Wen Mian asked enthusiastically, "So the three of us are lovers in the eyes of fans?"
Everyone laughed it off, but they didn't take these words to heart.
Qi Suu hesitated to speak several times, and finally raised his hand cautiously to ask: "Teacher, can I also dye purple gray?"
The styling teacher said: "In addition to the reference of styling, the hair color also depends on your individual skin color and facial features. If you want to change it to purple gray, it may not look good when dyed."
Qi Huan was disappointed and let go, "Thank you teacher, then I'll still be dyed milk gray."
Seeing the change in his expression, Lin Ye couldn't help but recall the voice he heard behind the curtain that night, and a little emotion surged in his heart. He couldn't help but look past Yan Changfei who was in the middle, and looked at Jiang behind him. Concentrate on looking.
It just so happened that Jiang Lian also cast his gaze, and their gazes collided silently. Lin Ye paused slightly, trying to look back, but saw Jiang Lian curling his lips at Yan Changfei in an understatement.
Lin Ye didn't smile, but raised her eyebrows back in Jiang Lian's direction as if she had thought about it temporarily.
Seeing that the smile on the corners of the other party's lips gradually faded, and his expression returned to normal, Lin Ye was inexplicably relieved.
In the next second, he found that there was no smile on the other side, but there was a faint and fragmented interest in his eyes, as if he had already seen through all his thoughts.
He was slightly taken aback, and finally chose to turn his back, leaving his back to the other party.
The time for the six people to apply the hair dye is almost the same, but because of the difference in hair quality, the time for applying the lotion and hair dye is different.
Lin Ye's hair quality is too good, it is not easy to color her hair, and she spends the longest time in the beauty room. The teammates left one after another after dyeing their hair, but he was left drowsy sitting in the beauty room.
On the way, the stylist came to see him once, and saw his drooping eyelids in the mirror, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time, you can sleep here for a while."
Lin Ye raised her eyes and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, "How long will it take?"
The modeling teacher also followed his gaze to look at the clock, "You will definitely not be able to catch dinner in the cafeteria, so call your teammates and ask your teammates to save a copy for you."
Just as Lin Ye was about to nod, he remembered that the mobile phone had already been handed in, and said, "I don't have a mobile phone."
The styling teacher looked clear, "Then I'll help you."
Lin Ye didn't understand what he meant, and wanted to stop him, but saw that the other party had already pressed the call button, and the phone screen jumped to the page waiting to be connected.
After a few seconds, the call was connected. The stylist stood beside him, pressed the loudspeaker button, and said without waiting for the other party to speak: "There is a kid in your group whose hair is not healed yet, and the cafeteria is about to close. Ask someone to bring him dinner."
A familiar voice came out from the shallow electric current, with the same familiar indifferent tone: "Who?"
"It's called—" The stylist was a little stuck, bent over and took a look at the name sticker on Lin Ye's waist, "The kid named Lin Ye."
The person on the other side of the phone paused for two seconds, before hanging up the phone, he said briefly: "Okay."
The stylist put away the phone and teased Lin Ye: "Can you tell who is on the phone?"
Lin Ye thought for a while and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's Jiang Lian." The stylist put on his gloves and looked at his hair, "I've done styling for him a few times before, and I have a good relationship with him." He took off his gloves, yawned and walked out the door, "You You can take a nap first, and when you wake up, dinner will be almost here."
Lin Ye nodded and said yes, watching the door open and close in front of his eyes, the figure of the other party disappeared from sight, and he slowly closed his eyes.
After waking up half an hour later, I found that there was an extra person on the sofa behind me out of thin air. The man was wearing a baseball cap, sitting on the sofa with his head bowed and playing with his mobile phone. With just one look, Lin Ye could recognize that it was Jiang Lian.
Probably hearing the movement, the other party raised his eyelids, "Eat when you wake up."
Lin Ye reached for the lunch box on the chair next to him, "Are you still practicing at night?"
"No practice." Jiang Lian put down his phone and leaned into the sofa, "There will be a surprise shooting session in the dormitory at night."
Lin Ye instantly understood that the reason why Jiang Lian appeared here was mostly because he didn't like being photographed in his private life.
He pretended to be regretful, but there was not much disappointment on his face, and his tone was extremely casual: "I perfectly missed another chance to be on camera."
Jiang Lian got up suddenly, walked behind Lin Ye and stopped, the brim of his hat cast a small shadow on his handsome nose, "It may not be broadcast on camera, so don't have high expectations. When the feature film comes out, there will always be more shots." It’s the company that gave us a lot of money.”
Lin Ye is not a young child, so he naturally knows that it is impossible for such a talent show to be absolutely fair. He agreed with Jiang Lian's words, but didn't say much.
He just raised his head and looked at Jiang Lian's perfect jaw line above his head, "Are you too?"
Jiang Lian stood behind him, not wearing a down jacket, with his hands in his trouser pockets, slightly bent over, looking down at him from above, and answered concisely: "I'm not."
Lin Ye recalled the rumors passed on among the trainees, among which the most mentioned one was that Jiang Lian's agency didn't send money, and the program crew didn't dare to cut his scenes.
He was still distracted, but Jiang Lian suddenly leaned over.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ye kept his head up and did not move, and his heart suddenly missed a beat.
The other's face was getting closer and closer, and the tip of his nose almost touched the bridge of his nose. The baseball cap covers the light above the head, and the vision is half bright and dark, making it difficult to see clearly.
The scent of the shower gel came from all directions, enveloping his sense of smell tightly, as if he could see the blue and distant waves with his eyes closed.
Lin Ye's lips moved slightly, and a sentence rolled down to his mouth.
Jiang Lian turned his head slightly, which happened to be staggered from his face. Shadows are deflected from view, and light pours down. He heard Jiang Lian say, "If you don't eat any more, you're going to be cold."
Lin Ye paused slightly, then lowered her head to look at the transparent lunch box on her lap.
Jiang Lian turned to grab the down jacket on the sofa, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
Lin Ye looked away from the lunch box and thanked him.
Jiang Lian by the door stopped, turned around and asked softly, "What did you want to say just now?"
Lin Ye thought for a second, then raised her head and answered, "I just want to ask, what brand is your shower gel?"
Jiang Lian raised her eyebrows lightly, but didn't answer him, and just pushed the door open and left.
Leaving Lin Ye sitting on the chair, he stared fixedly at the door twice, and after confirming that the other party would not go back and forth, he raised his hand and squeezed the back of his neck which was slightly sore.
It was only later that Lin Ye remembered what happened to Jiang Lian.
Not long after the other party left, about a meal away, the stylist came over to do the finishing work for him, fixed the top of his head and chin with both hands, looked at the mirror for a moment, and showed satisfaction, "The milky gray complements the whiteness of the complexion."
Lin Yexin didn't have to be so blunt when she said a word, with a just right smile on her face.
"Yesterday, a trainee came to dye his hair. His skin is whiter than yours, and his name is also cute. It seems to be—" The stylist, who is not good at remembering names, got stuck again, "It seems to be Su Yuan."
Lin Ye corrected, "Li Yuan."
The modeling teacher said: "That's right, that's the name. I remember he dyed it pink."
He has almost no contact with Li Yuan, but Li Yuan is hostile to him.
In fact, apart from the theme song practice period, Lin Ye saw each other very few times in the practice building. The last time I heard Li Yuan's name was because Xia Dongchan saw the magazine he picked up.
When thoughts drifted to Xia Dongchan, Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat. In his mind, he recalled the contents of the label that Li Yuan wrote to Jiang Lian, and finally found to his surprise that the time happened to be this evening.
The time was approaching, but it had nothing to do with him. Lin Ye got up by himself to wash off the hair dye on his head, dried his short milk-gray hair, thanked the styling teacher, went downstairs, and walked towards the dormitory building facing the cold wind.
Few people pass by the side of the road under the night lights. Occasionally, when encountering trainees in class uniforms, they will politely nod and smile to say hello.
It's just that during the whole process, Lin Ye was always a little absent-minded.
When he saw the dormitory building glowing in the dark from a distance, he finally stopped and moved his forehead and hair with a slightly troubled expression. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and walked back the way he came.
In the past, Lin Ye would definitely not do such things as eavesdropping on the corner. It's just that tonight, this matter is always in his heart, Lin Ye can't help but admit it, although he doesn't know why, but he does care a little bit.
Li Yuan asked Jiang Lian to meet on the roof of the training building. Lin Ye walked back to the training building and climbed up to the roof from the dark safe passage. The door to the roof was half open, but there was no one on the roof.
Lin Ye hid behind the door to avoid the wind, wondering if she had misremembered the time, but there was nowhere to prove it.
He waited for a while, but he didn't hear anyone's footsteps going upstairs, so he couldn't wait any longer, turned around and went downstairs.
When going down to the fifth floor, Lin Ye pushed the door in from the corridor and followed the signs on the corridor to find the bathroom.
The bathroom is at the other end of the corridor. He walked through the gym in the building by stepping on the floor light, and could vaguely hear the voices of trainees in twos and threes coming from the gym.
At the end of the corridor, turn left and go into the bathroom. Lin Ye raised her foot and walked to the left. When she glanced at the open-air balcony at the end, she suddenly stopped.
Each floor of the training building has an open-air balcony, but the balcony on this floor is a little different. The balcony is not the end of the road, there is a small door in the middle of the railing, and there is a small corridor full of vines outside the door.
Lin Ye walked into the balcony and looked up from the other side of the corridor by the moonlight. There was a little surprise in his eyes, there seemed to be a hanging garden across the corridor.
And in the center of the hanging garden, two black figures could be seen faintly, and the night wind swept the inaudible voice into the balcony. Lin Ye squinted her eyes, but still couldn't make out the two figures from the dense night.
Feeling that it was probably Li Yuan and Jiang Lian, he gently pushed open the small unlocked door on the balcony, quietly walked through the corridor, and bent down to hide behind the big flower bed in the garden.
Jiang Lian and Li Yuan sat on wicker chairs not far from him, with a round stone table between them. The voices of the two fell into Lin Ye's ears and could be clearly heard in the silent night.
However, it may not be accurate enough to say that it was the dialogue between the two. Ever since Lin Ye squatted behind the flower bed, most of the time she only heard Li Yuan's voice.
With the memories of the scenes she witnessed after living in the dormitory, Lin Ye guessed countless possibilities. And the one with the highest probability of occurrence is the confession scene.
However, the reality is a bit different from the imagination, Li Yuan just wanted to stir up CP with Jiang Lian on the show.
"It's just a show and a way to attract fans. It's not bad for you. When there is a camera, pretend to be intimate and ambiguous. When there is no camera, we can continue to keep a distance, or even zero interaction." Li Yuan said .
"It doesn't do me any harm, but it doesn't do me much good either." Jiang Lian looked indifferently, "Your fan base isn't big enough to be attractive to me."
"I can exchange it with other things." There was an inaudible eagerness in his tone. It seems that acting is not his real purpose, but what is exchanged is.
Jiang Lian's voice didn't fluctuate, and he didn't even lift his eyelids, "What do you want in exchange?"
Seeming to calm down quickly, Li Yuan asked, "Anything is fine."
Only then did Jiang Lian raise his eyes, scanning him from beginning to end as if looking at a commodity to be valued, and said with a bit of impatience in his tone, "There is nothing I want in you."
"How about going to bed?" Li Yuan leaned over the stone table, and there was an ambiguous ending in his deliberately low voice, "You don't want to go to bed either?"
Jiang Lian sneered slightly, and repeated those two words: "Go to bed?"
Probably because he thought there was something interesting, Li Yuan curled his lips into a smile, and no longer concealed the impatience in his eyes, "Equivalent exchange, isn't it? Play as you want, I'm all yours."
"I said, I'm not interested in you." Jiang Lian said.
"If you don't try it, how will you know that you're really not interested?" Li Yuan got up and crossed the round table to touch his hand on the edge of the table.
Jiang Lian clasped his wrist and dragged him off the round table, his eyes were still calm, but the two words he uttered were cold for no reason: "Get out."
Li Yuan felt unwilling, but still left. Before leaving, look at him steadily, "Since you don't have this idea, why did you come to the appointment?"
Jiang Lian said, "It has nothing to do with you."
The person involved, Li Yuan, was both angry and confused when he heard it. Lin Ye, who was squatting behind the flower bed, felt a jump in her heart, and her regret welled up.
After the sound of Li Yuan's leaving footsteps disappeared in his ears, Jiang Lian said quietly, "Why are you still squatting? Come out."
Lin Ye got up calmly, but a strong numbness came from the soles of her feet.
Jiang Lian was already in a displeased mood, and at this moment, after waiting for no one to come out for a long time, he stood up directly from the rattan chair, glanced at the flower bed diagonally opposite, frowned and said, "If you don't come out, do you still want to wait for me to pass by?" hold you out?"
Lin Ye hesitated to speak: "... my feet are numb, please let me take it easy."
Jiang Lian didn't give him any time to relax, and walked up to him and asked, "Did you hear what you just said?"
Lin Ye raised her head, her eyes met him unexpectedly, "I heard it."
Jiang Lian said: "Without cameras and fans, do you think you can survive the first round of elimination?"
Lin Ye remained silent. What Jiang Lian said was not wrong, and he couldn't even refute it.
"The competition is more cruel than you imagined, and I can help you stay." Jiang Lian looked at him, "The group that wins in the group showdown, C has a place to protect teammates. If you are eliminated, we will I can protect you."
Lin Ye was stunned.
"Of course, it's not limited to this. After the first round of elimination is over, I can help you accumulate a lot of popularity in a short period of time. This time," Jiang Lian looked cold, like a business-like negotiator, "What are you going to get?" to change?"
The first time Jiang Lian helped him, he gave him a piece of chocolate. Jiang Lian helped him for the second time, and he shot a pistol for the other party.
The third time Jiang Lian wanted something, he had a vague premonition in his heart, but he didn't answer immediately, he just asked: "What do you want?"
Jiang Lian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said concisely: "Take yourself in exchange."
Recalling what Li Yuan said, he blurted out calmly: "Equivalent exchange?"
Jiang Lian was noncommittal.
Lin Ye's eyes drooped slightly, his expression was difficult to discern, "How long is the transaction time limit?"
Jiang Lian said, "Until the end of the show."
Lin Ye was a little moved.
In all fairness, he doesn't dislike being close to Jiang Lian, and his body doesn't dislike being close to Jiang Lian either. Sleeping between adults is a matter of your choice and my wish. For him, it is mostly painful and enjoyable, and it is not a disadvantage for him at all.
It's just that Jiang Lian asked him to use himself as an exchange condition for future transactions, but he was reluctant. He has always looked down on such body transactions, and he is unwilling to look down on himself in the dust.
What's more, the first round of rankings has not yet been announced. Lin Ye wanted to stay, but he didn't want to rely on others to stay, but wanted to stay on strength.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and raised his lips with a smile, "It's okay to love each other, but we don't make deals."
