"No." Hearing Xie Xuanming's request to join the next performance, Ji Sheng refused without thinking, "It's too dangerous."
"Is it the best way to fish? You can't hide for a lifetime." Xie Xuanming copied his reason intact.
"No..." Ji Sheng choked for a moment, then reacted and said immediately, "It's true for me, but it's not true for you. There's no need to involve another person."
"You think you'll be involved, and I'll watch from the sidelines?" Xie Xuanming asked calmly.
Ji Sheng was stuck again. He subconsciously avoided Xie Xuanming's gaze, but continued to try to find a reason: "But you are a mentor, and it is unreasonable for a mentor to join the performance, and it will startle the snake..."
"Sangong was originally a mentor to cooperate and compete in performances, so it's not impossible to come to Ergong early." Xie Xuanming said, "It just so happens that the band is almost eliminated."
The elimination system of "The Sound of Music 2" is very strict. Half of the bands left for the first stage, and half of the first performance. The number of teams formed by the three performances was the same.
"But..." Ji Sheng was still unwilling to give up, he racked his brains to come up with the last reason, "Members of Nirvana... may not accept you as a cooperative mentor."
"Really?" Xie Xuanming said noncommittally, "Then vote to decide."
"I agree." After listening to Sangong's rules ahead of Ergong's plan, the keyboard player raised his hand first, "Sangong's performance, thank you teacher for coming to us."
"I have no objection either." The guitarist also expressed his opinion.
"Why??" Ji Sheng was shocked by their approval.
"Among the four instructors, except for Mr. Xie, none of them are professional singers." Keyboard analyzed, "We are short of a lead singer now. Regardless of other factors, we should choose Mr. Xie from the perspective of stage effects."
"I can sing too..." Ji Sheng struggled, "Besides, there are three assistant tutors, and the program team will invite singers."
"Xiao Hui, stop making trouble." The keyboard smiled, "You come to sing, what is the instructor doing here? Is it a backup dancer? And the three assistant teachers will be very popular. Now that Mr. Xie is willing to choose us, why not just do insurance choose?"
Ji Sheng was stunned, he hadn't thought about it from this level at all.
Behind him, Xie Xuanming slightly hooked the corner of his mouth.
The keyboard and guitar could no longer convince him, Ji Sheng turned his head and looked at Huang Sizhe for help.
To his surprise, Huang Sizhe also agreed.
"I also agree." Although his expression was very unhappy, Huang Sizhe quickly gave the reason, "The previous collapse, and the previous incident of the wine bureau, are actually all here for Ji Hui... to confuse Xie... Thank you If the teacher brings it on, the other party will also have scruples, so they won't do it in public."
This kid is not stupid.
Xie Xuanming raised his eyes slightly unexpectedly, but saw Huang Sizhe obviously approaching Ji Sheng a few steps, leaning against the person and asking if he had a good rest, why his complexion was so bad... and his face darkened again.
Still just as annoying.
Xie Xuanming took a step forward, quietly clasped Ji Sheng's shoulders, and pushed him back.
Ji Sheng was listening to Huang Sizhe's rambling, he staggered back a few steps, his shoulder bumped into the chest of the person behind him, just when he stood still, he felt his ears were hot, and his breath was blowing on the earlobe with heat.
Xie Xuanming lowered his head, leaned into his ear and asked, "The keyboard, bass, and guitar are all agreed. Where's the drummer?"
Ji Sheng: …
drummer…
The drummer was so weak from the wind blowing by his ears that he wanted to squat down and fill himself with mushrooms.
The breath was blowing against the ears, and the three members in front of them looked around, Ji Sheng had goosebumps all over his body, his Adam's apple rolled down, and he nodded helplessly: "The drummer... also has no objection."
The program team didn't have much opinion on advancing the cooperation of the tutors of the third male to the second male, and even agreed with it very much.
After all, as soon as the stage collapsed, the word-of-mouth and popular popularity of "The Sound of Music 2" has fallen to the bottom. The publicity team needs new hot spots to divert the attention of the audience. A famous tutor with traffic is undoubtedly a good choice.
And the fans of the instructors heard that they were mainly going to perform in the "dangerous building" of the "Grass Stage Team", so they naturally quit and went to the official blog to defend their rights.
The fans put pressure on the program team, forcing the program team to repeatedly confirm the safety of the stage equipment, which achieved the goals of Xie Xuanming and Ji Sheng to a certain extent.
All in all, it is a win-win choice for the program party, Ji Sheng and Xie Xuanming to cooperate with the mentor in advance.
The cooperation between Er Gong's mentors is different from other mentors who only started to join the band one week before the start of the competition. Xie Xuanming has been rehearsing with Nirvana from the very beginning, eating and living together at the same place, Ji Sheng couldn't help but wonder, counting the business that was turned down and the money that was lost because of this... I couldn't help but bleed...
Although it is not his money.
The members of Nirvana were not used to rehearsing with Actor Xie at first, and they all behaved more restrained. The rehearsal scene was as solemn as a funeral, and no one spoke except for the sound of musical instruments. But they soon discovered that Xie Xuanming only paid attention to Ji Hui's feelings, and his eyes were glued to Ji Hui's body all day long, as if other people didn't exist... They were relieved quickly, and talking with Xie Xuanming became natural. He chatted a few words, and the rehearsal atmosphere can be called harmonious.
It was another day of rehearsal, and Xie Xuanming and Nirvana were getting along pretty well. After four or five rehearsals, it was very smooth, and there was nothing to be picky about except for the details.
With Lu Haoren absent and Xie Xuanming joining, no one is willing to undertake the leadership work of organizing rehearsals, so Ji Sheng has no choice but to carry the banner.
After the fifth round of rehearsal, after deducting the details, Ji Sheng saw that the members were sweating a little, and said, "Let's rest for a while, just as the water has also been delivered."
Due to the successive accidents, Xie Xuanming was extremely distrustful of the show, not even trusting the drinking fountains in the practice room. Nirvana's daily drinking water is crates of mineral water brought in from outside, and those that have been opened will be thrown away directly.
Today's water tank has been placed at the door, and as soon as Ji Sheng announced his rest, several members walked towards the water tank.
"Do you want water?" Before Ji Sheng went over, he turned his head and asked Xie Xuanming who was sitting against the wall.
"I prefer cotton candy." Xie Xuanming stroked his slightly wet bangs and said lazily.
"...Why do you want marshmallows all of a sudden." Ji Sheng was helpless, "Where can I get you marshmallows at this point."
"Don't the show crew have a cotton candy machine?" Xie Xuanming leaned against the wall and looked up at him, "I haven't paid you the candy we promised last time."
Ji Sheng: "..."
Ji Sheng compromised: "Today's rehearsal is over, I will pay you back."
Only then was Xie Xuanming satisfied: "Bring me a bottle of water, thank you."
Ji Sheng walked towards the water tank, muttering as he walked.
Since Xie Xuanming exposed his true identity, he has become more and more inclined to let go.
The willfulness and selfishness revealed in him is like an ignorant sophomore in high school.
The 17-year-old Xie Xuanming also occasionally shows this emotion...
I don't hate it either.
Ji Sheng thought.
When Ji Sheng was thinking about something and walked to the water tank, the three of Nie Pan were squatting around the tank.
"Have you opened it yet?" Ji Sheng was a little surprised.
"No." Huang Sizhe's expression was not good, "There are many layers of seals, and look here..."
He pointed to a corner of the box and looked over. The bottom of the brown carton was strangely soaked, and the exposed liquid spread shallowly on the ground, and the color was scarlet.
Ji Sheng's complexion changed, he knelt down to feel the moisture, and put the tip of his nose to smell it.
The pungent smell of blood.
The eyes of the remaining three people also changed. Huang Sizhe grabbed the box with all his strength.
"Don't!" Ji Sheng didn't have time to stop, and saw the cardboard box tear open, opening a big mouth.
There was no neatly packed mineral water in the cardboard box, but it was full of blood-soaked photos.
The photo was cut into pieces, and the bloody red pieces slid out of the opening, spreading slowly on the floor.
The members took a closer look and barely recognized the person in the photo as Ji Hui.
Xie Xuanming also sensed something was wrong, stood up abruptly, and came here in two or three steps.
Seeing the bloody photo, he sank like water.
"Fuck!" Huang Sizhe was the first to scold, "This fucking..."
"Don't swear, it's still filming..." Guitar had an ugly expression and reminded him.
"It's okay, this section must have been cut." Ji Sheng quickly regained his composure. He looked at the fragments carefully and shook his head slightly, "It's only been so long since we debuted, yet we can find so many photo clips..."
"It's not just Ji Hui's." Xie Xuanming said coldly behind him, and he was even more shocked when he saw Ji Sheng's eyebrows and eyes in those fragmentary photos.
"Call the police, and then go to the individual to notify the program team to adjust the monitoring."
Ji Sheng immediately got up and walked out, but was pulled back by Xie Xuanming forcefully.
"Ji Hui won't go." Xie Xuanming's voice was frighteningly cold, "Change someone."
The box of photos was really scary, and it was obvious that they were malicious towards Ji Hui. The members of Nirvana also knew that it was not safe for Ji Hui to go out at this time, so Huang Sizhe got up without saying a word, and went out to find the program team.
The police came over quickly and took the box back to collect evidence. Before the results came out, Ji Sheng and Xie Xuanming checked the surveillance first.
Surveillance captured the moment when the water tank was replaced. Unfortunately, the person who lost the bag was wearing a hat and mask, and walked towards the blind spot of the surveillance throughout the whole process. He only showed a vague figure when the water tank was replaced.
The surveillance was suspended, and Xie Xuanming asked Ji Sheng, "Do you have any impression of this person?"
Ji Sheng frowned and looked at the black shadow, and said uncertainly: "A little bit...but it's too vague, so I can't be sure...and..."
Would she actually do it herself
It was unexpected.
After leaving the monitoring room two hours later, Ji Sheng was still not sure of Sombra's identity.
He compared the figure absent-mindedly, almost missed his foot, and rolled down the stairs.
Xie Xuanming's eyes were sharp and his hands quickly grabbed him: "Look at the road."
"Ah..." Ji Sheng withdrew his feet, staggered and stood still, "Thank you."
He walked down with Xie Xuanming, and within two steps he heard Xie Xuanming say: "Have you received something like this before?"
"Ok?"
"Looking at your reaction, it's not like seeing such a disgusting thing for the first time."
"It did happen before." Ji Sheng admitted, "This kind of thing is quite common, illegitimate black fans against family fans... extreme will do this kind of thing."
"You never mentioned it to me." Xie Xuanming said with a cold tone.
Ji Sheng was taken aback, and explained: "At that time you were filming in the group...and we..."
Alienation at that time was not a relationship that would communicate these things.
"Not later." Xie Xuanming looked at him in a blink of an eye, "Not later, nor later."
Ji Sheng noticed that he was in a bad mood, so he was quiet for a while and said, "I'm sorry."
Xie Xuanming did not accept his apology, and continued to ask: "Is it because if I don't ask, you will never tell."
Ji Sheng didn't know what to say, so he could only repeat: "I'm sorry."
"You never chose me on your own." Xie Xuanming continued on his own, his tone sank a little bit, "No before, no since, and even the current mentor cooperation is the result of a forced vote."
Xie Xuanming's calm tone finally showed some unease.
"Ji Sheng, I've always been curious, what am I in your heart?"
