After lunch, all the trainees took a bus to the department store on the island for shopping. The purchase time was only two hours, and the six people in the dormitory were divided into two groups to act separately.
Lin Ye's group was in charge of buying wallpaper and stickers. The three of them went straight to the home decoration area, but when they passed the snack area on the way, Xia Dongchan stopped and dragged them to the snack aisle.
Another roommate shared the same interests as Xia Dongchan, and they stood in front of the imported snacks aisle, discussing with great interest which brand of potato chips is delicious. The photography teacher stopped beside the two of them and moved closer to the camera, capturing their conversation verbatim.
Lin Ye was left walking forward slowly, carelessly scanning the dazzling array of products on the shelves on both sides. When I walked to the ice cream freezer, I remembered to look back.
The person walking behind was a trainee from another dormitory, Xia Dongchan and the other person did not follow. Lin Ye went back to find them the same way, but there was no one in front of the potato chips shelf. Both roommates and the photography teacher are gone.
Lin Ye walked back to the freezer area. When passing by the middle shelf along the way, she stopped and looked in, but she didn't know where the two went. In the end, they met Jiang Lian and Ming Rang in front of the freezer, and their photography teacher who followed them alone.
He stepped over and wanted to ask the two if they had seen Xia Dongchan, but Ming Rang first saw his approaching figure through the clear glass cabinet door.
Ming Rang put one hand on the glass door, turned his head and said with a smile, "Let me see, which brother is this?"
Following the voice of the other party, there was also the lens in the hands of the photography teacher. Lin Ye could clearly feel that the camera in the teacher's hand was fixed on the name sticker on his waist, and a second later, it gradually moved up along his waist, and finally pointed at his face.
Lin Ye didn't deliberately tilt her head to look at the camera, but subconsciously showed an impeccable smile.
Jiang Lian also turned around when he heard the words, glanced at him, and motioned to him: "Come here."
The smile on Lin Ye's face turned into appropriate doubts, and she approached the other party and asked, "What's wrong?"
Without saying a word, Jiang Lian stretched his arms around his neck under the camera, and tapped different flavors of Haagen-Dazs on the cabinet door with his other hand, "What flavor do you like?"
Lin Ye was really stunned, his mind went blank for a moment, and he couldn't even react.
Jiang Lian raised his hand gently around his neck, scratched his chin as a reminder, and asked again: "Which flavor do you like?"
Lin Ye finally regained consciousness and realized that the other party was deliberately interacting with him under the camera. He quickly adjusted his expression and asked, "What? Do you want to buy it for me?"
Jiang Lian laughed, let go of the hand hooked on his neck, and asked casually, "Do you want to eat?"
Ming Rang leaned against the freezer and interjected lazily: "Jiang Lian, I'm still standing here, and you're going to embezzle our common property to buy ice cream for other brothers in front of me?"
Seeing the rhythm being skewed by Ming Rang, Lin Ye finally remembered the business, "Did you see Xia Dongchan? I got separated from him."
Jiang Lian said, "I didn't see it."
Ming Rang smiled even more when he heard the words, "I found a younger brother who was alone." He made a decision without authorization, "Then I announce now that you have been temporarily assigned to our group."
After finishing speaking, without giving Lin Ye a chance to answer, he directly pushed the shopping cart in front of him, "The new brother has to obediently do the hard work for the older brothers, and you are responsible for helping us push the cart."
Thinking that it would be good to follow the camera behind the two, Lin Ye reached out and took the shopping cart. Ming Rang took the lead to walk towards the snack area at the back, and threw a lot of snacks into the shopping cart. When passing by the chocolate shelf, Jiang Lian also picked up a few boxes of imported chocolates.
Lin Ye lowered his head and glanced at the things in the car that had nothing to do with the layout of the dormitory, "Are you embezzling public funds?"
Ming Rang said casually: "Anyway, the rewards given at the end of this kind of competition are not good things."
Lin Ye nodded when she heard the words, and felt the same in her heart.
However, what neither of them expected was that the reward given by the program group at the end was really a good thing.
Two hours later, Lin Ye met other roommates at the checkout counter. When several roommates lined up to check out, he went alone to wait for them at the entrance and exit of the supermarket.
Jiang Lian and Ming Rang were at the front of the line, and they were the first to pay their bills and come out. The two men carried three bags in total, Ming Rang had one bag, and Jiang Lian had two bags.
Lin Ye sat not far away and looked over, and could clearly see that the two bags Jiang Lian carried in his hands were not full of shopping bags. It can be packed in one bag clearly, but the other party has to carry two bags.
He was surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions, and only waved his hands as a greeting when the two walked past him.
Jiang Lian stopped in front of him and stuffed one of the shopping bags into his arms. Lin Ye subconsciously turned her head to find the location of the photography teacher, but found nothing.
He sat on the stool, raised his hand to weigh the shopping bag in his arms, looked up at the other party, his dark pupils were fixed, and his tone was half joking and half serious: "Is my coolie work not over yet?"
"It's over." Jiang Lian lowered his head to look at him, and slightly raised the corners of his lips, "This is your reward."
Lin Ye was taken aback, and couldn't help but look down. In the shopping bag in his arms lay the boxes of chocolates that Jiang Lian had taken before.
After returning to the base, the time is left for the trainees to decorate the dormitories. Lin Ye's dormitory decided on a game theme. They put game-themed posters on the walls, and people who could draw climbed up and down to scribble on the light-colored wallpaper. The wall near the balcony is specially reserved for everyone to sign.
Lin Ye and Xia Dongchan installed a small hanging basket by the wall of the entrance, and there was a mini basketball on the wall under the basket.
Qi Xuan and Cheng Chi set up a small table and two cushions on the window sill of the bay window. On the table were two old-fashioned game consoles, which they brought over in their suitcases.
There are two large cardboard boxes on the coffee table in front of the sofa. The box on the left is filled with gum, and the box on the right is the raffle box.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the dormitories of all the trainees opened to the public on time, and everyone lined up to visit. There are various methods of soliciting votes in more than a dozen dormitories. Some dormitories give away snacks, some dormitories give fruit, and some dormitories prepare a small program of guitar playing and singing.
The most people surrounded Lin Ye's bedroom door. The six of them have completely turned the dormitory into a game room. The trainees entered in two groups. They first had a shooting competition at the door, then went to play a game of Tetris PK in front of the bay window, and finally came to the sofa to compete. Who can win? Start by blowing bubbles with the gum.
In the game session, two out of three rounds win, and the winner can get a chance to draw a lottery. There are thank you participation prizes and snack prizes in the lucky draw box.
Finally, in the secret ballot session, their dormitory successfully won the top spot. All six of them thought that the reward was a snack, but they never heard a single word from the staff.
It wasn't until I sat in the recording classroom the next day that I realized that the reward was related to the second performance task.
In Qi Huan's words, it's probably "I always thought there was only five dollars in my pocket, but when I reached out and touched it, I found out that there were five hundred dollars."
The staff gave each trainee a piece of paper with the same format, and asked everyone to write their names on the paper, as well as the trainees they wanted to cooperate with in the upcoming second performance.
Five minutes later, the questionnaires in everyone's hands were recovered.
Shen PD announced the task content of the second performance on the podium: "There are ten pieces in the performance, among which seven members are composed of eight members, and the remaining three members are composed of ten members. All the repertoires are kept secret. Individual choices will also be kept confidential."
Someone raised his hand and asked, "How do I choose? Blind spying?"
Shen PD said: "It's just a secret for the trainees who haven't chosen a song yet. When you go out of this classroom now, you can see the names of different songs on the doors of the entire row of classrooms opposite. You can choose your favorite song Push the door and enter, each room has a limited number of people, and when the room is full, some teachers will put a sign on the door that says 'no entry'."
"So this time," Shen PD smiled slyly, "If you want to be in a group with your favorite trainee, it depends on luck."
Someone asked again: "Is the order of the songs selected according to the ranking released in sequence?"
"That's right." Shen PD nodded at him, but then changed the topic, "However, there are a few exceptions today. All members will have the first choice for the dormitory with the highest number of votes in the dormitory decoration competition yesterday."
There was an uproar in the seats.
No one expected that there would really be a mysterious prize. Lin Ye and the other roommates were also full of surprises.
Cheng Chi and Qi Suan are already making plans with each other. When they go out, they will choose the song in the vocal area first. If there is more than one song in the vocal area, then choose the one with the shortest name.
Lin Ye sat next to him, subconsciously turned his head to look at Jiang Lian who was sitting in the back row, he was not sure if he could still be in the same group as the other party.
Sensing his gaze, Jiang Lian lowered his eyes and looked back, as if he knew what he was going to say, but changed the subject with his usual expression: "Have you ever played CS?"
Lin Ye was taken aback for a moment, and answered after a while: "No."
Jiang Lian didn't look surprised, just raised his eyebrows slightly, and casually said a word: "Of all the maps in CS, my favorite is the jungle."
Before the song selection begins, there is also a small interactive session. The staff had already sorted out the questionnaires received, and PD Shen wanted to announce on the spot the trainee selection that everyone wanted to work with the most.
The PD deliberately placed the questionnaires of all the people in Class A at the bottom of the list, starting with the other trainees. Excluding the seven members of Class A, most of the favorite teammates filled by the remaining trainees were top-ranked trainees, and some wrote about close friends in the program.
The whole scene is like a hot pot of CP stewing randomly. Some people are caught in a single arrow in a triangle relationship, and some are double arrows choosing each other.
Lin Ye and Xia Dongchan's questionnaires were stacked together, and PD Shen read them out one by one. Both of them filled in Jiang Lian's name, and they didn't have much doubt about their choice.
Jiang Lian, who is firmly seated in the C position of the show, is undoubtedly the most popular candidate in this survey.
When the remaining seven trainees from Class A were announced, everyone's curiosity was finally aroused. Among the seven people, the sixth and seventh are two-way choices, and the fifth who is in the same dormitory is caught in a triangle cycle between the fourth and another trainee.
The remaining guardians, Ming Rang and Qiu Yi, all chose Jiang Lian in position C without hesitation. When thinking about Ming Rang's choice, the trainees in the seats were full of regret and emotion.
Unfortunately, the relationship and strength between Jiang Lian and Ming Rang are obvious to all trainees. However, the two failed to have a collaborative stage in the first public performance, and failed to see the highly anticipated strong alliance, which made many people more or less regretful in private.
The reason for the inability to cooperate in the first public performance is because of the regulations of the competition system. For the second performance, without the previous competition system, the chances of the two collaborating skyrocketed.
Some trainees approached their roommate excitedly and whispered: "Is Kong Jiang Yueming wanting the emperor?"
The roommate squinted at him, "Are you secretly surfing the Internet behind my back?"
The trainee smiled guilty and stopped talking.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the last questionnaire in Shen PD's hand. Everyone thought in unison that the name Jiang Lian wrote down was the biggest suspense for the C position. As far as Jiang Lian was concerned, there was no suspense.
Under several concerned eyes, Shen PD looked at the piece of paper in his hand. A second later, the other party gave a light snort.
The trainees all raised their faces.
"It seems that no one has guessed the choice of our center." PD Shen laughed without warning, with a bit of a joke in his tone, "Let us congratulate trainee Lin Ye for winning the second prize. In the performance, Jiang Lian most wants to cooperate with the title of trainee!"
The crowd was so shocked that they couldn't express it in words, and their eyes all focused on Lin Ye who was in the crowd.
The trainee who had blurted out the word "American Emperor" looked bewildered, and the roommate next to him joked in his ear: "Your house has collapsed."
