Summer’s Desire

Chapter 7

Views:

Since the relationship between Pan Nan and Luo Xi was exposed, whenever Daisy and the others saw Pan Nan, they would start to make sarcastic remarks and roll their eyes. Pan Nan didn't care at all, as if she didn't hear anything at all. She sang and danced as seriously as before. During the break, she and Yin Xiamo chatted and laughed, and the two became more and more familiar with each other. After practice, Pan Nan often stayed to dance with Xiamo and taught her some of the most popular dance steps.

That day, Pan Nan was teaching Xia Mo some street dance moves.

The cell phone suddenly rang.

Yin Xiamo smiled apologetically at Pan Nan, then walked over and answered the phone while wiping her sweat:

"Hello."

Yao Shuer's soft voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Xia Mo, are you free tonight?"

HBS TV recording hall.

Yin Xiamo carried Yao Shuer's makeup box and followed her to Studio 7. There were many TV station staff and famous or unknown artists in the hallway, and some entertainment reporters were waiting in the corner chatting and sniffing the news. Whenever Yao Shuer passed by, almost all the artists would pay her a salutation, with a mixture of sympathy, pity and some suspicion in their eyes.

"Xia Mo, do you like being a star?"

Yao Shuer seemed not to notice those gazes at all and continued talking as she walked.

"… "

Yin Xiamo was slightly startled, not knowing why Shu'er suddenly thought of asking this question. Oh, she was not interested in being a star, but she needed the money that a star could make.

"I recommended you to attend the new talent training just because I was angry with Wei An. Now I regret it. It will be complicated and difficult to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. It is not suitable for you. Moreover, I heard them say that you are always a little nervous when singing..." Yao Shuer turned her head and looked at her in a soft voice, "Xia Mo, come back and continue to be my assistant, okay?"

Yin Xiamo was silent.

Then, she smiled at Yao Shuer and said, "Thank you. But I want to give it a try." Since she had already started trying, even if she failed, she wanted to try until the moment of failure.

"you… "

Yao Shuer looked at her in surprise.

At this time, the reporters gathered in a corner of the recording room had already spotted Yao Shuer, and they excitedly ran over to surround her. The reporters blocked Yao Shuer's way with cameras, video cameras and microphones, and asked questions like a machine gun -

"I heard that Vivian had insulted and attacked you many times before. Now that she has been exposed in a scandal, how do you feel?"

"What do you think of the Vivian incident?"

"You have been invited to a live interview on Entertainment World tonight. Will you reveal more inside information about Wei An?"

"When did Vivian and Jam get together?"

"Vian..."

The reporters surrounded Yao Shu'er and she couldn't move. She opened her mouth slightly, looking confused, and she didn't know what to say. Yin Xiamo hurried forward and stretched out her arms to protect her, to prevent the reporters from crowding over and messing up Shu'er's skirt and hair:

"I'm sorry, Miss Shu'er is about to go to a recording session and is almost late. Please make way for her. If you need an interview, please contact Miss Shu'er's agent."

The reporters ignored Yin Xiamo.

They continued to surround Yao Shuer, and the news of Yao Shuer's appearance spread quickly. More and more reporters came out of the studios and joined the ranks to ask questions. The encirclement became tighter and tighter. Yin Xiamo tried to protect Yao Shuer, who was at a loss, and felt that the power of the reporters was like a flood that was about to break her arms.

“Please make way!”

Yin Xiamo raised her voice, trying to get Shu'er to break through the siege of reporters and enter the studio.

Just after she answered Yao Shuer's call in the afternoon, Zhen En called in and told her gossip that a huge scandal had broken out in the entertainment industry!

Vivian was revealed to have an affair with her agent Jam!

Jam is a well-known big-name agent in the industry. He has been married for a long time and has children. He has always had a happy family and is known as a good man. But Wei An actually seduced Jam and had sex with him. The two even had a secret apartment tryst and lived together. Photos of the two living together in the apartment, and photos of Wei An and Jam kissing intimately when entering the parking lot, were all published as headlines in yesterday's morning newspaper! The article not only claimed that Wei An used seductive means to stand out, but also implied that Wei An used Jam's relationship to suppress other artists in the company, and Yao Shuer was the most suppressed. Wei An has always appeared as a pure and innocent girl, and this news is undoubtedly a devastating blow.

Jane said that after Vivian saw the newspaper, her face turned pale, she kicked them all out, and threw things in the house and got angry. Vivian's phone was almost blown up, and she had to turn it off.

Perhaps the reporters couldn't contact Wei An, so when they saw Yao Shu'er, who worked in the same company as Wei An, they flocked to her like they had found a treasure. Yin Xiamo didn't know why Shu'er asked her to accompany her on the show, because the company had hired a new assistant for Shu'er. But since she had come with Shu'er, she had to take good care of her.

“Please don’t crowd!”

"If you have any questions, please contact the company or agent later!"

"Please everyone..."

Yin Xiamo controlled the strength of her arms and tried to push away the reporters who were surrounding her. She didn't want to use too much force, because if she accidentally pushed down a reporter, it would cause a lot of trouble for Shu'er. But if she didn't use enough force, Shu'er would be squeezed into a jerky by the reporters and the pushing machines.

I finally managed to push the reporters away a little.

Yin Xiamo was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I… "

In the crowded center of the storm, Yao Shuer actually spoke timidly, her voice as thin as a bird. When she spoke, the reporters suddenly became excited again, and rushed closer again with excitement, like a flood, rushing towards Yao Shuer and Yin Xiamo with doubled strength.

Yao Shu'er looked pitiful and hesitated as she said:

"Regarding Vivian... Although she has done many things that she shouldn't have done in the past... But as long as she stops in time... and stops destroying Jam's family..."

Yin Xiamo was stunned.

She looked at Yao Shuer, and suddenly an indescribable feeling flashed through her heart. Her arms loosened unconsciously, and the reporters took advantage of this gap to break through her defense and rushed towards Yao Shuer.

"So Vivian and Jam's improper relationship is confirmed?!..."

"What has she done in the past? Please tell us one or two things! Has she ever suppressed you and taken away your record and performance opportunities?..."

"It is said that Vivian had an abortion for Jam. Did you know about this?..."

"… "

Questions were fired in rapid succession, and reporters desperately aimed their cameras and microphones at Yao Shuer, who was hesitant to speak. Reporters in the front rushed forward, and reporters behind squeezed forward, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

"I… "

Yao Shuer seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and she was at a loss. She clung to Xia Mo in panic and hid behind her. The reporters were unwilling to let Shuer go. Some impatient reporters simply reached out to push Yin Xiamo away, and some reporters rushed over and stared at Yao Shuer with their camera lenses. In the chaos, the heated camera body hit Yin Xiamo's head from time to time.

At this moment, screaming and boiling sounds came from behind!

"Luo Xi!"

"Luo Xi—!"

All the reporters surrounding Yao Shuer were startled by the shouting and turned their heads to look. Oh my god, it was Luo Xi! At the end of the corridor of the recording hall, Luo Xi was wearing a valuable black dark-patterned suit, with his arm around Shen Qiang, the most popular idol singer at last year's Golden Melody Awards. Shen Qiang had a graceful figure, and her black suspender skirt made her look like creamy skin, and she was extremely cold and beautiful.

However.

No one noticed Shen Qiang.

In the entire HBS studio, all eyes were focused on Luo Xi. His aristocratic temperament, elegant and charming demeanor, sexy and lazy smile at the corner of his lips, and shining and blurred eyes were like a dazzling white light. As long as Luo Xi existed, the rest of the world would disappear in an instant.

A large group of reporters holding cameras and microphones crowded in front of Luo Xi.

But no reporter dared to stop him.

The reporters retreated, filmed and asked questions. Luo Xi looked a little tired, as if he had just finished filming and was about to leave. He talked to Shen Qiang casually and gave simple answers to some questions raised by the reporters.

Seeing Luo Xi coming out, the reporters surrounding Yao Shuer immediately lost interest and turned to rush in Luo Xi's direction, fearing that if they were slow, they would lose the chance to grab the news. You know, even if it was a trivial matter about Luo Xi, it was much more important than other celebrity scandals!

The reporters were originally tightly squeezed around Yao Shuer, but in an instant they were scrambling to rush to the other direction. In the chaos, a reporter lost his balance and almost fell, but pushed Yao Shuer out. Yao Shuer grabbed Yin Xiamo in panic, but stepped on another reporter's foot. The reporter let go in pain, and the camera he held high fell heavily from mid-air!

Yao Shuer screamed in horror.

The camera was about to fall on her head!

The reporters were shocked.

In a flash, Yin Xiamo hugged Yao Shuer and held her head against her chest. She wanted to hide again, but failed. The camera hit Yin Xiamo's head heavily!

Yin Xiamo fell to the ground.

Her face was white and blood was slowly seeping from her forehead.

Seeing that Yao Shuer was not hit, the other reporters ran towards Luo Xi without interest. The reporter holding the camera apologized to Yin Xiamo repeatedly, and then found that the camera was not broken because it fell on her head. He happily grabbed the camera and ran towards Luo Xi.

"Xia Mo..."

Yao Shuer nervously wanted to touch Xia Mo's forehead with her hand, but then she timidly pulled back and took out a tissue from her handbag and gave it to her:

"How are you?"

Yin Xiamo wiped the blood off her forehead with a tissue and took a few deep breaths to get rid of the dizziness in her head. She stood up and smiled at Shu'er, "It's okay. I'm going in right away. The recording will start soon." As she spoke, she saw the makeup box that had fallen to the ground. In order to protect Shu'er, she had to let go of the makeup box, which fell to the ground, and the lipstick, powder puff, brush, mascara and other things were scattered all over the ground.

"You go to the studio first. I'll go there right after I finish cleaning up."

Yin Xiamo said to Shu'er, squatting down again. She resisted the uncomfortable dizziness coming from her forehead and picked up the things on the ground one by one and put them back into the makeup box.

"I… "

"Go quickly, don't be late."

Yin Xiamo heard Yao Shuer hesitate to leave, she did not look up, slowly picked up the things scattered on the ground, and carefully put them back into the makeup box. Maybe because of the headache, she did not notice Yao Shuer's footsteps stopped, did not notice that the surroundings suddenly became unusually quiet, only saw a lipstick rolling in the corner, she stretched out her right hand to pick up the lipstick.

at the same time.

A figure was reflected diagonally on the marble floor.

The man bent slightly.

A long, graceful hand.

Pick up the lipstick with your fingers.

Yin Xiamo looked up in surprise.

Only then did she realize that the recording room was completely silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on this place. Luo Xi actually left Shen Qiang, left the group of reporters, and walked to the corner to help her pick up a small lipstick.

Countless flash lights kept flashing "click" and "click"!

She looked at Luo Xi's hand.

The lipstick was between his fingers, held in front of her.

She slowly looked up at him.

He was staring at her forehead. She didn't know if her wound was still bleeding. Under his deep gaze, her forehead suddenly felt dizzy and burning.

"Thank you, Brother Luo Xi."

Yao Shuer hurried back to Yin Xiamo, timidly took the lipstick back from Luo Xi's hand, bowed to him, and two shy red clouds appeared on her cheeks.

Luo Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had a half-smile on his face and said to Yao Shuer:

"You're welcome."

After saying that, he took another deep look at the silent Yin Xiamo, then turned around and walked back to Shen Qiang and the reporters. The hall immediately became noisy again, with reporters excitedly asking all kinds of questions. Some reporters could be vaguely heard asking whether Luo Xi was familiar with Yao Shuer and whether he had a personal relationship with Yao Shuer.

Surrounded by reporters.

Luo Xi and Shen Qiang walked out of the HBS studio.

With Luo Xi's disappearance, the surroundings became empty and deserted, as if one had suddenly returned from a brilliant and gorgeous world to the ordinary human world.

Yao Shuer looked in the direction where Luo Xi disappeared. After a long while, she turned around in a daze and said to Yin Xiamo beside her: "Do you know who he is?"

Yin Xiamo's fingers stiffened for a moment, but she didn't say anything and continued to concentrate on putting everything in the makeup box in order.

Yao Shuer didn't seem to care about her reaction, and said to herself: "He is Luo Xi, a legend that is almost mythical. Even if you just stand next to him or have a little connection with him, you will become the focus of everyone's attention."

"It's almost time for the announcement."

Yin Xiamo looked at the clock hanging on the wall in the corridor and reminded Shuer.

"ah."

Yao Shuer woke up as if from a dream and hurried to Studio No. 7. Yin Xiamo followed behind her with a makeup box in her hand.

"Entertainment World" is an interview entertainment program with a high viewership. The host mainly interviews popular stars or parties involved in current sensational events in the entertainment industry. The program certainly would not let go of the ambiguous relationship between Wei An and the married man and big-name agent Jam. Unable to contact the protagonist of the scandal, the producer had to invite Yao Shuer, who is also an artist under Jam, to the program. There were rumors that Wei An and Yao Shuer were not on good terms, so the producer also hoped to learn more about Wei An's affair from Yao Shuer.

Yin Xiamo sat in a secluded corner of the studio.

She touched the wound on her forehead with her fingers, and it still hurt a little, and her fingertips were stained with blood. Luo Xi saw her in such an embarrassing state, and she smiled bitterly. Although she should not care about him, there was still a bitter feeling in her heart that was hard to dissipate.

She shook her head, forced herself to stop thinking about those boring things, and shifted her gaze to Yao Shuer who was about to start recording.

Spotlights as bright as day, a western palace oil painting background, a gorgeous leopard print sofa for guests, and two tall bar chairs for the two hosts. Yao Shuer was talking to the two hosts and the producer about what topics would be discussed during the show, while other staff members were busy preparing lights, microphones, music, etc.

The producer's cell phone suddenly rang.

Yin Xiamo noticed the ecstatic expression on the producer's face. He walked a little further away from Yao Shuer and the two hosts and continued talking on the phone, looking excitedly towards the door of the studio from time to time.

The entrance of the studio.

Wearing a bright red spaghetti-strap dress and a shining gold sequin necklace around her neck, Vivian walked in with her back straight like a proud princess, followed by Jane and several other assistants, in a grand and imposing manner.

Yin Xiamo was stunned.

Knowing something was wrong, she quickly stood up and tried to rush to the side of Yao Shuer who was completely stunned.

Vivian strode over.

With hatred and murderous intent in her eyes, she stared at Yao Shuer, and then she swung her hand. Before anyone could react, "bang", a hot slap hit Yao Shuer's face!

Bloody finger marks.

Five burning finger marks were left on Yao Shuer's cheek.

Yao Shuer was in so much pain that tears immediately flowed down her face.

Everyone else in the studio was shocked, and Zhen En was so frightened that her jaw almost dislocated. But Wei An seemed to be still not satisfied, and in anger she slapped Yao Shu Er on the right cheek again! Yin Xia Mo had already rushed to Yao Shu Er's side and grabbed Wei An's wrist in time. Wei An tried to break free, but Yin Xia Mo held her tightly.

"Let me go! I'm going to beat this bitch to death!"

Wei An shouted angrily, glaring at Yin Xiamo and then at Yao Shuer. The staff around her who had reacted hurriedly separated her from Yao Shuer. Yin Xiamo then let go of Wei An's wrist and carefully examined the scar on Yao Shuer's cheek. She frowned. Wei An's blow was very heavy. Yao Shuer's face was already red and swollen. It was estimated that even if she put on more makeup, it would be difficult to cover it up. Tonight's recording would be very troublesome.

Yao Shuer sobbed, tears welling up in her eyes. She leaned against Yin Xiamo, tears filled with innocence and sadness:

"Vian...you do this to me..."

The producer, two hosts and TV station staff all showed surprise and disdain towards Vivian, and came over to comfort Yao Shuer who was beaten. Only a few staff members stopped Vivian from getting too close to Yao Shuer.

Wei An took a deep breath, her chest still rising and falling in anger, but finally her movements were no longer as violent as before. The staff let her go carefully, alert to stop her again if something went wrong.

Wei An stared at Yao Shuer coldly:

"Yao Shu'er, you are really cruel. I underestimated you before. But I tell you, it is not that easy to destroy me! I will pay you back tenfold for what you have done to me!"

Everyone in the studio looked at each other in astonishment.

Yin Xiamo felt Yao Shuer's body suddenly stiffen, but she soon burst into tears like a wounded bird: "Could it be... you thought it was me..."

Vivian sneered.

She ignored Yao Shuer who was crying and turned to the producer and said:

"I'll be on this show."

The producer was surprised and delighted: "That's great, Miss Vivian is willing to be on our show..."

Wei An interrupted him: "I have a condition."

"Speaking."

"I can explain my own affairs clearly, without the need for others to maliciously exaggerate. So, please let Yao Shuer leave immediately!"

The producer was very embarrassed: "Uh... We didn't know that Miss Wei An would honor us, so we have already notified Miss Yao... If the two of you can attend together, Miss Yao will be the guest..."

Wei An took out her cell phone and said disdainfully, "I was also invited to appear on RBS's 'Gossip Queen'. If I remember correctly, it was broadcast at the same time as your program." After saying that, she turned away coldly and spoke into the phone, "Hello, is this 'Gossip Queen'? I'm Wei An..."

"Miss Vivian! Miss Vivian!"

The producer hurriedly stopped her, smiling widely, and bowed apologetically to Yao Shuer who was standing in the corner.

It's late at night.

Yao Shuer and Yin Xiamo walked out of the HBs building.

There were a few stars twinkling in the night sky, and the wind was a little chilly. The HBS building was as bright as day, the streets were bustling, and the cars were shuttling like dragons. Yao Shuer's high heels suddenly twisted and she almost fell to the ground. Yin Xiamo supported her in time. Feeling Yao Shuer's body was cold, Yin Xiamo hugged her shoulders tightly, handed her a tissue, and asked her to wipe the tears from her face.

Yao Shuer choked up:

"I didn't do what happened to Vivian... I hate her... but..."

Yin Xiamo comforted her softly:

"Go home and have a good rest, don't think too much."

Being an artist is not as glamorous as others imagine. Perhaps they have to endure more grievances and humiliation. I should stay with Yao Shuer all night. The palm marks on her face must be ironed with boiled eggs, otherwise she will not be able to go out for the announcement tomorrow.

Yao Shuer and Yin Xiamo were waiting for the driver to drive over. At this time, a strange Bentley RV slowly drove up to them and stopped. The door opened and a girl came out. Yin Xiamo recognized her. She was Luo Xi's assistant Jenny.

"Ms. Yin."

Jenny smiled at Yin Xiamo.

"Hello."

Although she felt that Jenny's appearance was a little strange, Yin Xiamo still responded with a smile. The last time she saw Jenny in the training room, her demeanor and language seemed like someone she knew before. However, after thinking about it for a long time afterwards, she had no memory of her.

"Luo Xi asked me to take you to the hospital." Jenny explained, "He said he should have accompanied you to the hospital in person, but he had an announcement and couldn't get away, so he asked me to go with you."

Yao Shuer looked at Yin Xiamo in confusion.

Yin Xiamo was also confused: "Hospital? Why should I go to the hospital?"

"Luo Xi said you were injured." Jenny approached her with concern and looked at the wound on her forehead that had already clotted. "It's your forehead, right? Ah, it's bleeding. Does it still hurt now?"

Yin Xiamo was stunned.

She was silent in her heart. It turned out that he had really seen the tiny nail-sized skin injury on her forehead. She lowered her head, not wanting others to notice the throbbing in her eyes. When she raised her eyes again, there was only a faint smile on her face:

"It doesn't hurt. There's no need to go to the hospital for this minor injury. Thank you, and thank Luo Xi for me."

At this time, the company car also drove over.

The engine started and the driver opened the door for Yao Shuer. Yao Shuer looked at Jenny in confusion, then at Yin Xiamo, and asked hesitantly:

"Xia Mo, won't you go home with me?"

"Okay, I'll get right to it..."

"If you don't go to the hospital to treat the wound on your forehead in time, it may leave a scar." Jenny continued to say to Yin Xiamo, "Don't you want to be a singer? How can a singer have a scar on his face?"

"It's okay." Yin Xiamo smiled calmly. If she had to leave a scar, she would have had a three-inch scar on her face. This little skin injury is nothing. "Thank you and Luo Xi for your concern, but I have other things to do and I have to leave right away. I'm sorry."

Yao Shuer's expression was already somewhat impatient. She whispered to Yin Xiamo in the car:

"Xia Mo!"

"Wait a minute." Jenny stopped Yin Xiamo who was about to leave and handed her a tube of ointment. "Luo Xi knew that you might not want to go to the hospital, so he bought this tube of ointment when he passed by the pharmacy on the way. So, remember to apply the ointment when you go back, okay?"

"… good."

Yin Xiamo held the medicinal wine in her palm, bowed to Jenny in gratitude, and then walked quickly towards Yao Shuer's car. The car door closed and disappeared into the night.

Will she remember me

The stars are shining.

Jenny stood lost in the night.

She thought about it, smiled bitterly and shook her head. Senior Xia Mo would not remember her, she was so insignificant at the time.

******

Two o'clock in the morning.

Finally the day's notice is over.

The expensive suit was casually thrown on the dark purple sofa. The faint moonlight poured in from the French windows. Luo Xi closed his eyes tiredly like a child, with his long legs placed on the coffee table. He seemed to have fallen asleep. The night wind blew up the window screen, and the living room was silent.

Jenny came out of the kitchen with hot milk, and seeing Luo Xi's sleeping face, she turned around and prepared to put the milk back. He was too tired. He had countless announcements every day and had to face countless reporters every day. Being able to sleep without being disturbed was very precious to him.

However, Luo Xi's voice suddenly came from behind her -

"Is the wound still bleeding?"

There was weariness in his voice.

There is also a concern that cannot be relieved even in the extreme fatigue.

Jenny was startled for a moment, then she realized that he was asking about Yin Xiamo's injury: "There's no more bleeding, so it shouldn't be a big problem. But Miss Yin refused to go to the hospital for treatment, so I gave her the ointment you bought."

"Um."

Luo Xi smiled and leaned back on the sofa. Five years had passed, and she really hadn't changed. Although she seemed to be more introverted, her stubbornness and alienation were no different from before.

"I talked to Cai Ni on the phone tonight." Jenny thought about it and decided to tell him, "Cai Ni said that next Sunday, they will conduct an on-site assessment of the training of several newcomers. They will set up two stages in the center of Rainbow Shopping Plaza and let them perform in two groups to see their on-the-spot performance and popularity."

"Is this the final test?" Luo Xi sat up straight.

"It should be. Looking at Caini's schedule, it's time to finalize the new artist for the album."

"Who is she in a group with?"

she?…

Jenny didn't know whether he was referring to Pan Nan or Yin Xiamo, so she tried to answer, "It's not confirmed yet... But Ms. Pan..."

"Anan, there's no problem." Luo Xi smiled nonchalantly. Anan has been singing in bars and dance halls for many years and has experienced all kinds of situations.

"Is it Miss Yin you're worried about?"

As soon as she said this, Jenny realized that she had been rash and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. After working as Luo Xi's assistant for two years, she knew that he hated others asking about his private affairs.

However, Luo Xi was unaware of this. He looked out the window at the night:

"Cancel all notices for next Sunday."

She was shocked: "But, there is an HBs entertainment program recording that day, and they have already notified everyone. If you..."

Luo Xi smiled nonchalantly:

"Tell them that as compensation, I agree to be interviewed by them."

Jenny finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The night is getting deeper.

On the dark purple sofa, under the bright moonlight, Luo Xi sat quietly alone, with a thoughtful look on his face, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning.

******

Rainbow Plaza on Sunday.

The sun is shining.

Countless shops, countless balloons, countless colorful banners, bustling shopping crowds, children running and playing, open-air coffee and tea shops, music playing in each store, buses coming and going, and private cars driving slowly due to the congested roads. It seems that people from all over the world have gathered in this place.

There is a beautiful rainbow in the center of the square.

It is crystal clear, has a graceful curve, and is colorful. It is made of crystal glass. It is breathtakingly beautiful and dreamy under the sunlight, which is why it is named Rainbow Square.

Two new open-air stages were set up under the huge rainbow. The distance between the two stages was less than ten meters. From the huge posters and advertisements, it can be seen that one stage was built by a sunscreen and skin care product manufacturer, and the other stage was built by a shampoo and hair care manufacturer.

The two stages stand opposite each other at the two ends of the crystal rainbow.

Backstage.

Ke Xin was a little nervous. She swallowed lightly and felt her throat was dry as if it was smoking. She had been in a sad mood since the day before yesterday when the groups were divided. She thought that if they were divided into two groups, she, Ayin and Daisy would be in one group, and Pan Nan and Xia Mo would be in the other. But Daisy actually strongly requested to be in the same group with Pan Nan, which shocked her and Ayin. Then, Ayin also requested to be in the same group with Pan Nan and Daisy.

She was betrayed.

With a bitter smile, she actually knew why Daisy wanted to be in a group with Pan Nan. Because Pan Nan was the strongest, being in a group with her would naturally attract more popularity. However, even if they were not in a group with Pan Nan, they could definitely compete based on their own strength. Such a good sister, but she was abandoned so easily...

Thinking and thinking.

Ke Xin's eyes began to turn red again and tears almost fell.

"Have some water."

A gentle voice sounded beside her, and Ke Xin hurriedly looked up and saw Yin Xiamo's friendly face. A cup of warm water was gently placed in her palm, and Ke Xin's heart suddenly warmed up, and for a moment she felt very embarrassed. She used to follow Daisy and the others to deliberately isolate Xiamo.

"Don't be too nervous." Yin Xiamo said softly.

"Aren't you... nervous..." Ke Xin asked hesitantly. The effect of this performance will directly affect who will have the opportunity to officially release an album. Cai Ni made it clear that whoever can attract more people, who is more popular, who is more eye-catching, will win. Stars don't just rely on beauty or good singing voices. It's hard to tell what people like, so they must pass the test of reality.

"I'm nervous too." Yin Xiamo smiled and shook her head. "But if I get nervous when I see the stage, and get nervous when I think about singing in front of everyone, then it means I'm not suitable to be an artist. Even if I don't become an artist, there are still many paths I can take. If I think about it this way, I won't be so nervous."

"But... when you sing..."

Yin Xiamo nodded: "I know. So if this time is the same as during the training, then I will completely give up the idea of becoming an artist." She is the weakest among the five girls, she knows it very well. It's not because she doesn't work hard, it's not because her singing is bad, but she can't get rid of it. Haha, what a failure, she thought she could overcome it with her willpower, what's so scary, it's all a long time ago. However, when she stood on the stage, the nightmare-like shadow still strangled her throat coldly. One of the reasons why she wanted to be a singer and wanted to sing in front of everyone was the same. If she couldn't overcome the shadow of the past, she would be disappointed in herself.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant, I..." Ke Xin hurriedly explained. She felt extremely ashamed. Xia Mo spoke to her without holding any grudges against her, and she even hurt her with her words.

"It's okay." Yin Xiamo didn't let her continue. "Let's go check with the band to see if there's anything wrong with the order of the songs."

"good."

The two walked towards the band together.

Half an hour later.

Deafening music and rumbling sound came from the center of Rainbow Square. On two stages, two hosts introduced their own companies at the same time. The hosts spoke wittily and in their own styles, and were very good at heating up the atmosphere. People in the square were gradually attracted. The number of people under the two stages, which were about ten meters apart, was basically the same.

There is a Porsche not far away.

Cai Ni, Ya Lun and Jam were in the car, they could see all the performances on both stages and hear all the sounds on both stages.

“Will the disparity between the strong and the weak be too great?”

Yalun asked suspiciously. If the stronger Pan Nan, Daisy, and Wei Yin were all put into the same group, and the weakest Ke Xin and Xia Mo were put into another group, there would likely be a disparity in popularity.

Cai Ni chuckled and said nothing.

He stroked his chin, the ruby rose ring flashing between his fingers. Next to him was an open folder with all the information of the five girls.

Jam has been following Caini for many years and knows that Caini has his reasons for what he does. Seeing that Caini didn't seem to want to explain, he changed the subject: "The two hosts we invited today performed very well. They will gather popularity right away, and the girls can relieve a lot of pressure."

"That's to give an explanation to the companies that paid for it," said Cai Ni. "We persuaded the two companies to use our newcomers to perform. They were not very willing to set up a stage, so of course we had to invite the best hosts to support the show. But..."

"…?"

"The two hosts are only responsible for introducing the company. The girls' performances will be entirely up to them."

Yalun was slightly surprised: "What if it gets awkward..."

"It all depends on their individual abilities." Cai Ni said with some cunning in his voice.
