In the eyes of everyone, Lu Nanyun stood on the spot, looking up at the players holding blue lottery tickets, and his eyes seemed to pass over Ji Zeyu.
Ji Zeyu lowered his head slightly, pretending not to see, and silently recited in his heart: Can't see me, can't see me...
Lu Nanyun raised his feet and walked towards the blue side.
After a while, just when Ji Zeyu thought that Lu Nanyun had chosen someone else, he carefully raised his head and saw a tall figure walking up to him and standing in front of him.
Ji Zeyu's hand shook, and the crumpled note in his hand almost fell to the ground.
The two people's eyes met unexpectedly. Lu Nanyun's facial features had a cold temperament, and his eyes were narrow and beautiful, looking straight at Ji Zeyu.
They looked at each other for about three seconds, but Ji Zeyu felt that a long, long time had passed.
Everyone around looked surprised.
"Will Lu Nanyun choose Ji Zeyu?"
"Holy crap, it's true, don't they have a bad relationship?"
"The third and first teams are too bullying..."
Ji Zeyu took a deep breath, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
Chen He stood aside and saw that Lu Nanyun didn't speak, so he said, "Xiao Lu, do you want to choose Xiao Ji?"
Lu Nanyun did not answer the question. He looked at Ji Zeyu silently. In the latter's slightly nervous eyes, he slowly stretched out his hand and handed the red note in his hand to Ji Zeyu.
Lu Nanyun pursed her lips, and her clean jawline looked even tighter at this moment.
"Xiao Lu's choice is Xiao Ji, so Xiao Ji, do you want to refuse or agree?" Chen He asked with the microphone.
Ji Zeyu looked at the red note in front of him, his fingers tightened involuntarily, and his nails dug into his palms.
Lu Nanyun's hand was holding the note motionlessly, his eyes were deep.
"I..." Ji Zeyu raised his eyes and looked into Lu Nanyun's eyes as quiet as pool water, and said with difficulty, "I... refuse, I'm sorry."
Everyone present was stunned for a moment.
Lu Nanyun is one of the strongest players, and there is no harm in Ji Zeyu cooperating with him. Joining forces will definitely bring them more popularity, but he rejected Lu Nanyun's invitation to form a team.
The players whispered quietly.
"What, you actually rejected Brother Nan?"
"If the two of them team up, they will have no rivals at all."
"What a pity… "
"It seems that the relationship is indeed not very good."
Chen He was also stunned, and after a moment he immediately reconciled: "It seems that our Xiao Ji has other candidates. I'm afraid Xiao Lu will be sad, haha..."
He clearly used a teasing tone, but Ji Zeyu's heart seemed to be tugged by a small hand.
There was no movement in Lu Nanyun's eyes. He slowly withdrew his hand, whispered "It doesn't matter", and then turned back to the red team.
Ji Zeyu looked at Lu Nanyun's tall and straight back and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed an extremely difficult task.
Wei Yichen looked at the rejected Lu Nanyun with a thoughtful expression.
Lu Nanyun stood in the corner with no expression on his face, as if the incident had no impact on him.
"So, who will be number two next?" Chen He asked.
Ji Zeyu became nervous again. He swallowed and prayed in his heart that number two would not be Wei Yichen, because he no longer had the right to refuse.
A tall, fair-skinned young man walked out of the crowd and casually waved the red sign in his hand: "Me."
The person who drew number two is named Luo Ming. He was ranked ninth in the last stage. His ranking in the previous rounds has been near his debut position. His performance in the last performance was very impressive, and he has a great sense of variety. This time he rushed directly. Top eleven.
Luo Ming has dyed hot and unruly dirty orange hair and a black earring on his left ear. He looks like the schoolmate next door. He is thin and has dimples when he smiles. He is called the little orange sun by his fans.
However, in reality, Luo Ming was not a gentle senior. He was casual and somewhat sarcastic, but rather like a poor student sitting in the last row of the school.
Chen He asked: "Luo Ming, please choose your partner."
Ji Zeyu breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the players on the red side and found that Qi Aodong was also inside, looking straight at him.
Ji Zeyu thought that it would be a good choice to be in the same group as Qi Aodong for a while, and it might help him rise in the rankings.
Just as Ji Zeyu was lost in thought, he didn't notice a figure walking in front of him. The next second, a magnetic and pleasant voice sounded:
"I choose him."
Ji Zeyu came back to his senses, opened his eyes suddenly, looked at the orange-haired boy in front of him, and said after being stunned for a long time: "You, you choose me?" He and Luo Ming were not familiar with each other, and he did not expect that the other party would choose him.
"Yeah." Luo Ming raised the corners of his lips, his eyes slightly curved, and the dimples at the corners of his lips added a bit of playfulness to him.
The next second, Luo Ming stretched out his hand, holding the red sign between his two slender fingers, and casually put it into the pocket of Ji Zeyu's uniform jacket.
"Congratulations," Luo Ming looked at Ji Zeyu and smiled casually, "You are Luo Xuan's son."
None of the players on the red side expected Luo Ming to choose Ji Zeyu, because the two of them probably didn't speak more than ten sentences.
Is it because Luo Ming wants to take advantage of Ji Zeyu's popularity? It is possible.
Wei Yichen also looked at the two of them with some surprise, and Qi Aodong frowned tightly for a moment and clenched the red note in his hand.
"Because Xiao Ji has already rejected it once, he automatically becomes teammates with Luo Ming this time." Chen He said with a smile, "Let us congratulate both of them."
Lu Nanyun stood alone, his expression was normal, and he applauded them together with everyone, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
After the team was successfully formed, Ji Zeyu and Luo Ming sat aside. He did not exclude this teammate, and asked Luo Ming curiously: "Luo Ming, why did you choose me?"
"You dislike me?" Luo Ming put his hands on his chest and raised his eyebrows at him casually. Obviously, he has a familiar character, or in other words, he has this casual attitude towards everyone.
"Well, I mean... the others are pretty strong too."
Luo Ming said calmly: "I'm just afraid of trouble. If you choose someone else, there is a risk of being rejected. If you choose you, you won't be rejected."
Ji Zeyu was stunned, not expecting to hear this answer, but based on his understanding of Luo Ming's "little bully" character, it seemed that such words were quite in line with his character.
Soon, all twenty-two people on the court formed a team. Lu Nanyun and Wan Long became teammates, Wei Yichen chose Gu Weicheng, while Qi Aodong chose Bai Shengjie, and Xiao Huai was with Feng Yan.
At the end of the selection process, the director team announced the final repertoire, which was mainly divided into vocal-oriented songs and dance-oriented songs. Ji Zeyu and Luo Ming chose a modern dance song with a strong style called "Healing Traces" , which means that he and Luo Ming will dance a double dance.
The song and dance demo of "Healing Traces" was played on the big screen in the room. The moves shown by the dance teacher made everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The lyrics of the entire song describe the story of two comrades healing and supporting each other at the end of the world. There is a lot of interaction in the dance movements, which not only shows the sympathy between teenagers, but also expresses the rebirth of adversity in times of despair.
only…
The more interactions there are, the more ambiguous and sexual tension the dance seems to gain.
The other players couldn't help but started talking.
"Is this a comrade? I misunderstood."
"Brotherhood, I understand."
"Why are you still pulling the opponent's tie?"
"That's a quarrel."
"It looks like flirting anyway!"
The eyes of Ji Zeyu's roommates became a little subtle, and their expressions were not very good at this moment.
Ji Zeyu didn't care. He had been exposed to this kind of dance a lot in his previous life. The advantage was that the interaction between the two made the stage more attractive.
Luo Ming was a little uneasy. He looked at Ji Zeyu and said, "Damn, I want to dance like this with you?!"
Ji Zeyu opened his eyes wide: "What's wrong? Are you feeling wronged?"
"Of course, I'm such a young boy..." Luo Ming looked Ji Zeyu up and down, "I can't spread scandals with others."
"Then you change teammates now." Ji Zeyu resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "I don't want to dance with you either, so that everyone will not stare at your hair."
Hearing this, Luo Ming lifted his dirty orange bangs, revealing his fair forehead and heroic eyebrows. He raised the corners of his lips at Ji Zeyu and said, "You also think my hair looks good?" The black earrings reflected slightly under the light.
"..." Ji Zeyu was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect Luo Ming to be so shy, "Hurry up and replace him."
Luo Ming looked at the young man beside him and suddenly leaned over: "But I'm curious about one thing... Why did you reject Lu Nanyun?"
Ji Zeyu was slightly startled.
"He is your roommate, and he is in the top three. He chose you from the very beginning. Logically speaking, you should be happy." Luo Ming continued, looking at him thoughtfully, "After all, you and him are a perfect match."
Ji Zeyu didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Of course, if you team up with me, you can win. You are quite lucky." Luo Ming said boldly.
Ji Zeyu: "..."
Luo Ming's words made him feel a little uncomfortable. He secretly glanced at Lu Nanyun not far away and found that there was nothing strange about him, so he felt relieved.
"The song selection is over and the finals are about to begin. In order to reward everyone, the program team has prepared a surprise." Chen He took the microphone and said to the contestants, "That is - treat everyone to a barbecue!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole studio suddenly boiled.
"Wow—really?!"
"That's great! We can actually have barbecue?!"
"Am I dreaming? The director team, who doesn't even allow snacks, actually invites everyone to a barbecue?"
Ji Zeyu also opened his eyes wide, couldn't help but look surprised, and applauded along with everyone.
Under the leadership of the program team, 22 teenagers came to a private barbecue restaurant. The store prepared a barbecue grill and a lot of ingredients for them, allowing them to do it themselves.
The cameraman ran around carrying the camera, and the contestants were as excited as wild horses that had escaped the reins.
Seeing the chaos in the scene, the director picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Everyone sit together in your dormitory, don't run around!"
Ji Zeyu took a bunch of skewers. After hearing this, he sighed helplessly, looked at the other roommates in the crowd, and then walked towards them.
In front of the camera, Ji Zeyu still had to remain polite. He put a bunch of skewers on the plate, sat next to Xiao Huai, and whispered: "What, I'm not very good at barbecue..."
"It's okay, this thing is very simple." Xiao Huai picked up a few skewers of pork belly and put them on the grill, "First like this, then like that, then like this..."
Wei Yichen poured a glass of iced Coke for Ji Zeyu and placed it in front of him: "I'm not very good at it, but it shouldn't be difficult. You give it a try."
Lu Nanyun sat opposite Ji Zeyu and said nothing, staring intently at the barbecue in front of him.
After a few minutes, Xiao Huai successfully grilled the pork belly into a pure black color. He picked it up, took a bite, and threw it aside with disgust: "There's something wrong with this meat."
Ji Zeyu also tried grilling a bunch of chicken wings, but he didn't know what was wrong. They tasted neither crispy nor tender, and felt dry.
Wei Yichen is a little better than the two of them. At least the taste of the roast is normal, but it is not delicious.
At this time, the chicken wings in Lu Nanyun's hands were cooked and steaming white. He was very skillful in grilling things. Before grilling, he used scissors to make a few slits on the surface of the chicken wings. After grilling, the skin turned a nice brown color, revealing the tender chicken inside, which made a slight "sizzling" sound under the high temperature.
Lu Nanyun calmly picked up the seasoning powder on the side and sprinkled some on the chicken wings. The alluring fragrance immediately hit Ji Zeyu's nose, arousing his greed.
Ji Zeyu looked at the skewers of grilled wings and swallowed involuntarily.
This looks so delicious!
As soon as he was distracted, the mutton skewers Ji Zeyu was leaning on became burnt. He took a bite, frowned, and said like Xiao Huai, "There's something wrong with this meat."
Ji Zeyu had just rejected Lu Nanyun's invitation to form a team not long ago. Now of course he was embarrassed to ask him to help. He could only try to restrain his appetite and imitate Lu Nanyun's movements to grill the skewers.
Just when Ji Zeyu's mind was filled with those skewers of grilled wings, Lu Nanyun started eating them in front of him.
Ji Zeyu stared at Lu Nanyun's thin lips, watching the sauce of the chicken wings stained on them, and felt like crying in his heart - everyone was not grilling well, why was this guy grilling more professionally than a barbecue restaurant, and he happened to be sitting across from him? !
The expressions of Wei Yichen and Xiao Huai were also a little subtle.
Lu Nanyun finished a bunch of chicken wings with satisfaction in Ji Zeyu's eyes that looked over him from time to time, and then started to eat the second bunch.
Ji Zeyu lowered his head and drank Coke, pretending not to care.
Just when Ji Zeyu was thinking that the first thing after the game was to have barbecue, a few skewers of freshly grilled chicken wings were placed on the plate in front of him.
Ji Zeyu couldn't help but be stunned. When he looked up, Lu Nanyun had already retracted his hand, his expression unchanged.
Wei Yichen and Xiao Huai on the side also paused.
The next second, Lu Nanyun pretended to be casual and gave Wei Yichen and Xiao Huai a few more skewers of grilled wings.
Ji Zeyu, who was originally nervous and overwhelmed, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Lu Nanyun was just helping his teammates roast chicken wings, so he said thank you to Lu Nanyun.
After that, Ji Zeyu happily picked up the chicken wings and after taking a bite, his eyes widened: "Damn, this is a hundred times more delicious than it looks."
He had to give Lu Nanyun a thumbs up: "You are so awesome."
"Really?" Lu Nanyun said calmly, "Thank you."
If Ji Zeyu looked carefully, he would find that the grilled wings that Lu Nanyun handed him were completely different from the grilled wings that were handed to the other two people. The grilled wings on Ji Zeyu's plate were obviously larger and more beautiful in color.
It was as if Lu Nanyun only grilled these few skewers with care and grilled the rest casually.
Of course Wei Yichen and Xiao Huai found out, but they still thanked Lu Nanyun. After all, his casual baking was much more delicious than the two of them's serious baking.
In the following time, Ji Zeyu tried to grill the skewers by himself. Lu Nanyun sat opposite him, looking nonchalant, but always helping to turn the skewers when Ji Zeyu wasn't paying attention.
Ji Zeyu was grilling and found that there were a lot less burnt meat skewers. He thought his skills had improved, so he picked up a skewer and handed it to Lu Nanyun: "This is for you." to express his gratitude.
Lu Nanyun took it and took a bite, then looked at Ji Zeyu calmly: "There is progress."
Although Ji Zeyu has made progress, he still likes to eat baked by Lu Nanyun himself. Lu Nanyun didn't say anything, but occasionally pushed the skewers in his hands to the opposite side quietly, mixing them with Ji Zeyu's skewers.
Ji Zeyu feasted all night, but never noticed Lu Nanyun's little moves, and said with emotion: "The barbecue in this restaurant is really delicious."
After the barbecue, the contestants all looked satisfied and shouted that the program team was too generous this time and they had a great time.
Ji Zeyu was not full, so he packed a few skewers of barbecue in a bag and secretly took them back to the TV station.
Of course, he was not the only one to do this. Wan Long almost moved the grill back. Bai Shengjie was on the side to protect him, and the program team just turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.
After returning to the TV station, Ji Zeyu did not return to the dormitory, but sneaked to the balcony at the end of the corridor with the barbecue.
He didn't know it at this time, but there were also cameras installed on the balcony, which exposed his stealing behavior.
Just when Ji Zeyu took out a skewer of mutton and was about to eat it, he suddenly heard footsteps. When he turned around, he saw a tall figure walking this way.
It's Lu Nanyun.
Ji Zeyu was stunned and almost dropped the mutton skewers in his hand. He thought to himself, what is Lu Nanyun doing here? Does he also want to eat barbecue
Just when Ji Zeyu was at a loss, Lu Nanyun had already walked to the balcony.
Standing tall and straight in front of Ji Zeyu, his deep eyes were locked on him for a few seconds.
Afterwards, Lu Nanyun took out a thin shirt from his bag and handed it to Ji Zeyu.
"Um..." Ji Zeyu's head was full of questions, "Wipe my mouth?"
"..." Lu Nanyun shook his hand, "There are many mosquitoes, so put it on."
Ji Zeyu shook his head and was about to refuse, but Lu Nanyun had already put the thin shirt on him without any explanation.
Ji Zeyu looked blankly at the person in front of him. The shirt he was wearing was white, the material was very thin and comfortable, and it clung to his arm. A gust of evening wind blew, and the scent of perfume remaining on his clothes penetrated Ji Zeyu's nose.
Different from Xiao Huai's sweet citrus perfume, Lu Nanyun's usual perfume has a fresh ocean scent, with a hint of mint.

Ji Zeyu said blankly: "But I want to eat barbecue... What should I do if it gets dirty?"
"It doesn't matter." Lu Nanyun looked at him calmly.
Ji Zeyu felt uneasy for a while, but he still accepted the kindness and carefully ate the skewers in his hand to avoid staining his shirt.
Lu Nanyun stood aside, looking down at the young man's fair wrists and the sauce on the corners of his lips. His lips were slightly red from the spicy barbecue, which made his face whiter and whiter, giving him an alienating and transparent feeling under the incandescent lamp.
Ji Zeyu was so focused on finishing the barbecue that he didn't notice Lu Nanyun's darkening eyes and rolling Adam's apple.
A few minutes later, Ji Zeyu had almost finished eating and burped.
Lu Nanyun reached out and handed him a tissue.
Just when Ji Zeyu took the tissue and started to wipe his mouth, a slightly hoarse voice came -
"Are you full?"
Ji Zeyu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Nanyun and nodded.
"You also ate the food I baked, and you also put on my shirt." Lu Nanyun suddenly took a step forward, and his tall and straight figure gave Ji Zeyu a great sense of oppression, "Can you tell me the reason now?"
Lu Nanyun stared straight into Ji Zeyu's eyes, blocking him between the wall and his body, leaving him with nowhere to escape.
Ji Zeyu's heart suddenly started beating faster.
He didn't even dare to look into Lu Nanyun's eyes.
But Lu Nanyun did not give Ji Zeyu a chance to dodge. Instead, he lowered his head slightly, got close to his face, looked at him closely, and asked slowly: "Can you tell me?"
Ji Zeyu suddenly froze. The tissue in his hand fell to the ground. The smell of perfume on his shirt suddenly became stronger. He suddenly realized that he seemed to be surrounded by Lu Nanyun.
his body.
his shirt.
His perfume…
Everything left him with nowhere to escape.
Ji Zeyu's voice was stumbling: "W-what reason..."
Lu Nanyun lowered his eyes slightly and asked word by word: "Why don't you team up with me?"
After asking this question, he raised his eyes to look at Ji Zeyu, with a bit of inquiry and confusion in his eyes, and his hoarse voice seemed a bit low.
Lu Nanyun, who used to be so sharp and sharp in the past, actually seemed a little... at a loss at this moment.
Lu Nanyun acted aggressively and surrounded Ji Zeyu in his own territory.
But surrounded by this, he looked like a child who didn't know why he suddenly lost his favor, looking lonely in the pale light.
"Didn't you say... you want to see me perform somersaults?"
