At this time, many students from the class gathered in Jing Xianglei and Fu Jiahuan's room.
Gu Yuzheng went out to run announcements, Guan Yike and Jiao Xiu also went, but Ji Ran, who ranked high, was not feeling well and did not go out.
He and Lin Yidonggang had nothing to do, so he came to Jing Xianglei's room to comfort him.
Lu He was also ranked high, but he did not participate in any activities. He was completely focused on how to clear Jing Xianglei's name.
It is true that he was glad that there were no bad shots of himself at the beginning, but as time went by, the more people cursed Jing Xianglei online, the more guilty and afraid he became.
If Jing Xianglei was ruined because of me...
Or if the truth is revealed, will I also be insulted like this...
As the two thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu He's fearful mood gradually reached the brink of collapse.
“Brother Lei, I’m sorry…” Lu He’s eyes were red and swollen, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
Jing Xianglei shook his head and forced a smile: "It's really okay, this matter will eventually pass. I was going to be eliminated this time anyway, and once I'm eliminated, the storm over this matter will be over."
"What a shame!" Lin Yidonggang pouted. He wanted to complain about the production team, but then he remembered that the production team favored Lu He, so he didn't know what to say.
Fu Jiahuan originally thought that Lu He would just admit it and clear Jing Xianglei's name, but he didn't expect that after Lu He ran out that day, the person in charge of the program team followed him in.
The words sounded high-sounding, but the meaning was just one: the matter was over as it was, and Lu He was not allowed to clarify.
The meaning is roughly - we are helping you, but if you don’t appreciate it, we will be disappointed and will definitely not help you again.
This is equivalent to the program team saying that if Lu He slaps the program team in the face, the program team will give up Lu He.
It was so difficult for Fu Jiahuan, who had always been upright, to say anything about giving way or admitting something.
These people have never dealt with this kind of thing before, and they don't know what to do except to feel angry and upset.
Ji Ran sighed: "Jing Xianglei, please don't go on Weibo recently. Just pretend you didn't see it."
Jing Xianglei nodded and smiled at Ji Ran.
"Oh, it's really okay. I was about to leave anyway. Why do you guys look like that?" Seeing that no one was talking, Jing Xianglei smiled to liven up the atmosphere.
Lu He squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, crying loudly.
After all, he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and his mental endurance was not strong. A brother who had always protected him was so angry that he dared not show his face because he was scolded, but he himself did not even dare to explain...
This matter is really despairing.
He was too ashamed to see the people around him who knew the truth, nor was he ashamed to appear in front of Jing Xianglei.
Lu He knew that the audience liked him to laugh, and he was almost always smiling. This was the first time he cried bitterly after joining the program crew.
Dou Xuan squatted down and patted Lu He's shoulder: "Lu Lu, don't cry. This is not what you think."
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't jumped wrong, none of this would have happened. It's all my fault!" Lu He cried.
Jing Xianglei stood up, walked over to him and squatted, saying with a smile: "Are you stupid? According to what you said, it's all my fault. Why did I do a somersault? It was all caused by my somersault. Really, don't think about these things. Just make your debut well. When you become famous, if you still remember me, that's all."
He smiled and patted Lu He's head: "This has nothing to do with you, and it's not your intention. I know everything."
Lu He stared at Jing Xianglei blankly, biting her lower lip, her eyes filled with tears.
His eyes flashed with determination, and his voice trembled slightly: "... Yidong, lend me your phone, I want to post on Weibo."
Everyone was stunned at the same time.
“If you post on Weibo, you yourself…” Fu Jiahuan hesitated.
Lin Yidonggang also hesitated and looked at Ji Ran subconsciously.
Ji Ran thought about it, then nodded.
After Lu He sent the message, Jing Xianglei had the possibility to stay. As for Lu He... he still kept him, so he could always find a way.
It's impossible that the program team has gone too far, right
"I don't agree!" Jing Xianglei frowned and objected.
"Knock knock—" Someone knocked on the door.
The people inside were stunned at the same time, and Jing Xianglei, who was about to speak, stopped talking.
Dou Xuan, who was closest to the door, stretched out his hand to open it and was stunned: "Teacher Sheng..."
Everyone in the room was also a little surprised. Why was Sheng Ziyu here
They all stood up and looked towards the door.
Sheng Ziyu walked in.
She was wearing a sweater and long boots, with her hair loose, looking very intellectual, and only had simple light makeup on.
"So many people? Can I come in?"
"Okay, okay!" Dou Xuan quickly moved aside and took a few steps back.
Sheng Ziyu walked away, her eyes swept over everyone and she sighed slightly.
In fact, even though he was standing here, Sheng Ziyu didn't know why he came here, as if he had walked here unconsciously.
She asked softly, "What's going on?"
Dou Xuan glanced at Jing Xianglei and Lu He without saying anything. He was a little worried that Sheng Ziyu was on the side of the program team.
Lin Yidong's eyes lit up, and he ran over quickly: "Teacher Sheng, please give us some advice, the way and..."
In just a few words, he explained the current situation clearly and also told Lu He's plan.
Fu Jiahuan thought of Sheng Ziyou's previous comfort, and always felt that she was reliable, so he also said: "Teacher Sheng, we really don't know what to do, it feels bad..."
Either Jing Xianglei was framed, or Lu He offended the program crew.
The program production team must have some tricks up their sleeves, otherwise why is Long Mu not particularly outstanding in normal times, but his ranking has always been very stable
Ji Ran frowned. Sheng Ziyou had kept to himself these days. She brought hot drinks to the students and lent him pots and rice...
But it is still hard to forget what happened in the past.
Therefore, he did not speak, but just stood aside quietly.
After listening to them, Sheng Ziyou was a little surprised. She looked at Lu He and said, "Have you thought clearly about what you will face after clarifying the matter?"
Sheng Ziyu had a deep impression of Lu He. When they first met, no one liked her, but this student was still able to face her with a smile.
At that time, she felt that this person was actually much more scheming than Lin Yidong...
Now it seems... this is a boy with some small thoughts, but he is not a bad boy.
She would feel ashamed and blame herself, which meant that she had more conscience than many people she had met.
Some people have been in the circle for a few years and after struggling for a while, they will never give up their own interests because of this kind of thing.
If it does not harm their own interests, they will not care about the grievances suffered by others.
Even if one can step on others to get to the top, there will be many people who will follow suit.
Like Wen Shanshan, she had been planning to step on Sheng Ziyu to get to the top since the beginning of the show, no matter what it took.
Of course, she herself is not a good person.
Lu He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of fear: "Well... I've thought it through..."
After saying these words, he seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant, and he felt panic, fear, and relief.
"I don't agree." Jing Xianglei was very determined. "I'll leave sooner or later, why bother?"
He knew his own popularity, and the number of votes was far from the top six spots required to form a group.
In that case, is it necessary to drag Lu He into this just to keep him for a few more days
Jing Xianglei smiled and said, "Lu He, I am satisfied as long as you have this intention."
If Lu He had been reluctant, he might have felt unhappy, but since Lu He was willing to speak up, he seemed to no longer feel aggrieved.
"Alas," Sheng Ziyu sighed, "Jing Xianglei, do you think this is over? You left the boy band, but your life continues. If you want to debut in the future, this will become your black history. Even if you don't debut, the people you meet in your life know about this, they know the black spot you have, and they point fingers at you. What can you do?"
Jing Xianglei is twenty-one this year, and has just lived one-fifth of his life. He still has a long way to go.
He doesn't know how much trouble this blame he is taking today will bring him in the future, and he doesn't know whether he will regret it a few years later.
Jing Xianglei was stunned and stared at Sheng Ziyu blankly.
Ji Ran stepped forward and said softly, "I agree. Xiang Lei, you don't know the terrible impact of cyberbullying on a person. I personally think that the result of taking the wrong route and jumping may have less impact than your grabbing a spot."
Making a mistake in jumping is caused by nervousness. It is normal to make mistakes when you are nervous. Many people make mistakes once or twice in their lives due to nervousness.
But grabbing a spot... is a matter of character.
Lu He bit his lower lip and said, "I'll post on Weibo right now."
Sheng Ziyu chuckled, attracting everyone's attention to her.
She said, "You just posted on Weibo like that? Silly boy, clarifying something in the circle is not something that can be done with just one sentence. How to clarify Jing Xianglei without letting the fans transfer their anger to you, how to maximize the benefits, all of this needs to be planned out."
Everyone was stunned at the same time, and Fu Jiahuan asked: "Then what should we do?"
Sheng Ziyu waved his hand, looking relaxed.
Fu Jiahuan, Lin Yidonggang and others immediately gathered around her. Lu He and Jing Xianglei on the ground stood up and walked over.
Ji Ran, who had never liked her, couldn't control his feet. He walked behind her, poked his head out, with curiosity in his eyes.
Sheng Ziyu muttered something, and the others' eyes widened as they listened.
When she finished speaking, Jing Xianglei was a little worried: "Teacher Sheng, won't you also offend the program team?"
Because of him, Lu He has already offended the production team. If Sheng Ziyou is also implicated...
Sheng Ziyou chuckled and shook her head: "It's okay, I saved you because Teacher Ran and I voted for you in the performance, and I also want to clarify myself."
If Jing Xianglei wasn't saved, then the vote she and Ran Youqing cast would be a joke.
We are all artists, so who doesn’t cherish our reputation
This is the reason she told herself, but in reality... it was more about the unspeakable feeling in her heart.
For a young man like Lu He who has just reached adulthood, he must be true to his conscience even if it means risking his own future.
Could her foundation be worse than that of an undebuted teenager
If you could start your life over again, it wouldn't be a bad idea to live more passionately and freely.
The students didn't believe what Sheng Ziyu said. Which judge cared about whether every word he said was in line with the audience's thoughts
The one in front of me, Mr. Sheng, who once had a very bad reputation...
It’s actually really good.
The next day, Jing Xianglei's fan club suddenly released a video to support Jing Xianglei.
He doesn't have many fans, but there are still a few who work hard for their idol.
They firmly believe that there is a reason for the "position grabbing" and that the low-key and capable boy would not have grabbed a position just to debut.
The fan club released a video pieced together from the practice room version, in which Jing Xianglei and Lu He had a very good relationship.
Jing Xianglei took Lu He to dance and practiced with Lu He until late at night.
Lu He also said in an interview that he was very grateful for the help of Brother Jing Xianglei.
Jing Xianglei's fans complained word by word -
Leilei couldn't possibly do such a thing! We can't wrongly accuse a brother who has always helped his brother just because of the editing of the program team! Our fan club needs the program team to give us an explanation! We don't believe in the so-called grabbing of seats!
This Weibo post was not only posted on Jing Xianglei’s super topic, but also on the super topic of the men’s group selection competition.
Soon, another Weibo celebrity with millions of followers posted a few pictures—
The netizen returned it to me anonymously. The photo was taken yesterday.
In the picture, Jing Xianglei and Lu He are arm in arm, laughing together.
Yesterday, Jing Xianglei was being madly attacked, and they imagined that Lu He, who had his position taken away and was so angry that his eyes were red, was arm in arm with Jing Xianglei, who was being attacked, and they were very close.
Netizen:
Even Lu He’s fans were stunned.
"What's going on?"
"Why do I feel like this is not right..."
"If there's anything wrong, then clear Jing Xianglei's name."
"Is there really any truth?"
"Did the program crew mess up the editing?"
…
Fans who were following the boy group audition were immediately attracted to it. Although it did not become a trending topic, everyone who was paying attention to the matter saw it.
There are many different opinions, but more people are questioning the truth of "Jing Xianglei grabbing the position".
At this time, Lu He posted on Weibo, which was another video.
The boy's eyes were red and his handsome face was pale.
Lu He has always been recognized as the best-looking student among all the candidates in the selection competition.
In the video, you can hardly see any makeup on his face, so while this boy looks good, he also looks a little childish.
The first reaction of the audience after seeing the video is -
This is still a teenager.
All the fans' love burst out in an instant, and looking at his red eyes, they felt extremely distressed.
Even fans of other students or passers-by couldn't help but feel soft-hearted and couldn't bear to criticize him too harshly.
The boy's first words were—
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I'm sorry to Brother Jing Xianglei."
Lu He's eyes became redder, but she tried not to cry. She said with a trembling voice, "I was too nervous and made a mistake on the stage. I am sorry for the fans' love."
He blinked his eyes to stop the tears from flowing out: "I feel even more sorry for Brother Jing Xianglei. I was really surprised to know that my brother was being attacked. In fact, he came to save me, but was misunderstood as grabbing my spot."
"It's my fault. I'm sorry to Brother Jing Xianglei and the fans who have always supported me." Lu He sobbed and bowed. "I immediately borrowed a phone to clarify after I found out. I hope everyone can understand the truth and not wrongly accuse Brother Lei. I'm really sorry."
The video is very short, and many people watched it two or three times before they suddenly realized what was going on.
Before I could feel any emotions rising in my heart, I noticed that there were already quite a few messages in the comment section.
"It's just a wrong dance. It's normal for you at your age. I also made a mistake when I was performing at school. I was so scared that I cried. Haha."
"I made the mistake too. It's normal. There's nothing to feel sorry for."
"It's good that it's explained clearly. Jing Xianglei has indeed been misunderstood."
"Don't cry, Lulu. Mom is very pleased that you stood up and gave Jing Xianglei justice. You are a good child."
"Speaking of which... won't it offend the production team if Lu He does this? I feel so sad, but also so relieved. My son is so great."
"This is the excellence of these two teenagers. One has strong professional skills and would rather be blackmailed in order to save the situation; the other is kind and would rather offend the program team for justice for his brother..."
…
After reading the comments, these people couldn't help but have an idea in their minds -
It doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Then, they admired Jing Xianglei's professional ability and magnanimity, and worried that Lu He might offend the production team and not be able to debut...
The worried fans and audiences did not focus on which student they hated, they only felt worry and relief.
Jing Xianglei's fans thanked Lu He for telling the truth, although some complained that Lu He's fans were radical.
Lu He’s fans are pleased with his kindness, but also feel guilty for their misunderstanding of Jing Xianglei.
Even some of Lu He’s fans and passersby said—
"Jing Xianglei is ranked very low! I don't know how to express my apology. I'll just vote for him. I'm sorry."
The audience was also worried that Lu He might offend the program crew and that the crew would not let him debut.
They all said that if the program production team really did this, they would jointly boycott the program.
Soon, Sheng Ziyou forwarded it with the words—
“Two outstanding young men.”
After sending it, Sheng Ziyou closed the computer and said, "Done."
Fu Jiahuan poked his head out and gave a thumbs up: “Teacher Sheng, 6666666.”
Lu He's face was still a little pale and his eyes were swollen, but he also smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
This Weibo post of clarification became a hot topic and continued to gain momentum due to Sheng Ziyu's repost.
The phenomenon that he imagined, that countless people would scold him, did not exist. On the contrary, everyone was praising him, and his Weibo fans were increasing rapidly.
Ji Ran couldn't help but ask, "Is this a common way to whitewash in the industry?"
Everything was planned step by step, from the support from Jing Xianglei's fan club, to the big V posting pictures, and even the comments that the audience saw first after watching the video. Some were written by fans, and some were... manipulated comments.
“A lot of people actually don’t have any thoughts in their minds at first. When they see many people scolding and criticizing, they will subconsciously think - this person is really bad. But if they see that many people don’t care, they will instantly think, yes, what’s the big deal,” Sheng Ziyu explained.
Then she stood up with her computer, looked at Ji Ran, and said with a smile: "Finally, let me make it clear that this is not whitewashing, this is clarification."
There was a smile in her eyes, and she looked confident and beautiful.
That was a beauty that Ji Ran had never seen in anyone else.
Mature, wise and intelligent.
At this moment, his gaze stopped on Sheng Ziyu's eyes. He admitted that this teacher Sheng, whom he once hated, was actually very beautiful, beautiful from the inside out.
"Teacher Sheng, is it really okay for you to forward it?" Lin Yidonggang was still worried about Sheng Ziyu.
"I..." Sheng Ziyu said one word, looked at the lit phone and smiled.
She picked up her phone and shook it: "The production team can't be angry with me now."
Xiang Yuan forwarded it.
Immediately afterwards, Ran Youqing forwarded it.
Four mentors and three reposts...
As for Wen Shanshan
Oh, no matter how unwilling you are, you have to forward it.
"Okay, I'm leaving. See you on Saturday." Sheng Ziyu waved his hand and left gracefully.
Behind her, the students kept looking at her back.
Gu Yuzheng said: "Ji Ran, I don't want to hate her like you do."
Ji Ran took a long time to reply.
"I... I don't hate her anymore."
After saying this, he added angrily: "I don't like it either!"
Lin Yidong grinned with a sweet smile on his face: "I like it!"
"I like it too." Fu Jiahuan interrupted.
Lin Yidong pushed him angrily: "Why are you everywhere? You are not allowed to like Teacher Sheng!"
"Teacher Sheng is not yours, why don't you let others like you?"
"No, no!"
"You can use your own staff to whitewash an unrelated person." Zhao Jing spoke immediately when she saw Sheng Ziyu getting in the car.
Sheng Ziyou handed the computer to Yang Yun, sat down, and then smiled and said, "I can't control myself."
Zhao Jing rolled her eyes at her: "You are really kind-hearted."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Only this time."
Sheng Ziyou nodded: "OK!"
After answering Zhao Jing's question, she looked at the girl sitting next to Yang Yun: "Thank you, Ai Wei, you have great makeup skills!"
The new dedicated makeup artist did the first makeup for Lu He.
Ivy shook her head hurriedly, a little nervous: "It should be!"
She is young and thin. She is not beautiful but pretty.
Sheng Ziyu smiled at her friendlyly and received a flattered look in return.
She then looked away.
Ivy in this world is still as shy as ever. Even though she is very capable, she always has an expression that makes her look "unworthy".
But she was still very happy that Ivy was back.
After Jing Xianglei and Lu He's issues were successfully resolved, Sheng Ziyu returned to the company to continue learning from Teacher Qin. She would take pictures every day and talk about her feelings so that her fans could feel that she was making progress.
Until the day before the results were announced, Sheng Ziyu took a bus back to the program crew of the men's group selection competition.
"Hurry up! Gather!"
"Huh? What time is it? Why is it so early?"
"It's four in the morning, hurry up! They said we'll only have fifteen minutes to gather!"
“I’m going to—”
The sleepy students struggled to get up. How many young people don't stay up late these days? Going to bed at 12 o'clock is considered early, and some people have just closed their eyes.
It would be fatal for them to get up at this time.
"I don't want to go! How can you get up so early?"
"Brother, the results need to be announced."
"You're not part of a girl group, so how can you expect the production team to be kind to you?"
In another dormitory, Ji Ran pulled Lin Yidong up and threw clothes on his head: "Hurry up and get up!"
“…” Lin Yidonggang looked confused.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Lin Yidong ran out of the bathroom in a panic: "Oh no! I haven't packed my bag yet!"
Gu Yuzheng was carrying a bag on his back. He threw the bag in his hand to Lin Yidong: "I've put it away for you. Hurry up!"
Lin Yidonggang excitedly threw himself onto Gu Yuzheng and Ji Ran, and the three of them went downstairs playing and fighting.
Not to mention the students, even the instructors were yawning and looked unhappy.
"The program crew's arrangement is terrible..." Xiang Yuan rubbed his eyes.
Ran Youqing looked at Qu Feng and asked in surprise: "Qu Feng, you still have time to put on makeup?"
They take care of their health, get up early and go to bed early, but no one... gets up at four o'clock.
As Qu Feng looked through the schedule, he raised his head and smiled, with a mischievous look in his eyes: "I haven't slept yet. I'll rest after the recording is finished today."
"Young people can endure." Ran Youqing shook his head.
"Teacher Sheng and Teacher Wen haven't arrived yet?" Qu Feng stood on tiptoe to look.
At this time, Wen Shanshan hurried over, wearing flat leather shoes, holding a makeup bag in her hands, and her face... had no time to put on makeup.
Wen Shanshan's appearance was not outstanding to begin with, and without makeup or styling, she looked even more ordinary.
When she saw Qu Feng looking at her, she touched her hair awkwardly and clenched her makeup bag.
"You all are here..." she said, and seeing that there was still time, she opened her makeup bag and quickly put on foundation.
"Teacher Sheng hasn't arrived yet." Qu Feng replied.
Wen Shanshan's eyes lit up. How could she not wear makeup? Sheng Ziyou had slept with her before!
Thinking of this, Wen Shanshan gloated: "Teacher Sheng hasn't gotten up yet? Why don't we call her? Didn't the program team notify her in advance yesterday? Why is Teacher Sheng still..."
Behind her, Sheng Ziyou interrupted her with a smile: "Teacher Wen, thank you for your trouble. I came down a long time ago."
Wen Shanshan froze, turned around, and was stunned.
The author has something to say: Guess why Youbao came down so early? Hehehe
Dads!! Rabbit cubs are so hard!
You all want to catch me and put me in the pot, so I can only merge two chapters into one, and update 6,000 words to finish dealing with the Jing Xianglei incident...
Just tell me, would you be willing to put such a cute and satisfying bunny into the pot? !
(There are many magic scissors in reality, but I still hope that at least in the book, they can get some justice...)
