The night before the group special release.
Ji Zeyu felt a little nervous. He lay on the bed and looked at his mobile phone. Various funny videos edited by fans were playing on his mobile phone in an attempt to relax, but in vain.
The performance of this album is very important to Ji Zeyu, not only because it is the first album of the EN boy band, but also because it is related to the subsequent relationship between him and Lu Nanyun.
If the sales of the album are high, then Ji Zeyu will have one more bargaining chip. He can talk to his eldest brother, and maybe he can be free to lift the ban on "avoiding suspicion".
In Ji Zeyu's mind, he recalled the way he got along with Lu Nanyun during these days, and his fingers involuntarily clenched the phone. He turned to look at Lu Nanyun and saw that he was sitting in front of the computer watching a documentary, with a thoughtful expression on his face, but he didn't seem to be worried at all.
Ji Zeyu swallowed, sat up, hesitated for a while, and sent a message to Lu Nanyun: "Do you want to eat fruit?"
Lu Nanyun's phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen casually, and then a touch of tenderness appeared in his eyes. He replied briefly to Ji Zeyu: "Eat."
Ji Zeyu got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, and went downstairs to get some fruit.
When washing the fruits, Ji Zeyu still looked a little careless. After washing the fruits, he turned on the faucet for a while before he realized what was happening. He quickly turned off the water, put the rinsed fruits on a plate, and walked upstairs.
On the way, Ji Zeyu met Xiao Huai.
Xiao Huai glanced at the fruit plate in his hand, stretched out his fingers and took a few cherries directly, and said with a smile: "Are they for me?"
"No." Ji Zeyu curled his lips, "If you want to eat, go get it yourself. I'll get it for Xiaoyun."
Xiao Huai's fingers froze and his face turned unpleasant: "Xiao Yuyu, I gave you so much food, but you didn't even wash the fruit for me..." Under the gray-blue bangs, his eyes looked a little aggrieved.
"Xiao Huai, be good, can I wash it for you next time?" Ji Zeyu coaxed him helplessly, "Speaking of which, I also treat you to snacks. Why do you look so aggrieved?"
"Because I also want to eat the fruit washed by the captain himself." Xiao Huai seemed to be joking, "Can't you? You are so partial."
Ji Zeyu had no choice but to nod: "Definitely next time." After saying that, he ignored Xiao Huai's hurt eyes and walked upstairs.
On the stairs, Ji Zeyu met Luo Ming, and Luo Ming naturally reached for a peach.
Luo Ming grabbed the peach and threw it into the air, then caught it and curled his lips: "You are so good today. Are you here to honor me?"
"Go away." Ji Zeyu was not so good-tempered towards Luo Ming. He wanted to kick him down. "You will die one day because you are so mean-mouthed." As he said this, he walked past Luo Ming.
"Hey, hey, I'm kidding." Luo Ming took a bite of the peach and made a crisp sound, "It's delicious. The fruit you washed is particularly delicious, but the peach is not big enough."
"It's not for you." Ji Zeyu glared at him, "I got it for Lu Nanyun."
Luo Ming froze while eating the peach, and then swallowed it with difficulty. His expression suddenly darkened a bit: "For Lu Nanyun?" His tone was a bit unhappy.
Ji Zeyu nodded: "If you want to eat, go and get it yourself. There are a lot in the refrigerator." After saying that, he went upstairs without looking back.
Luo Ming held the peach and frowned slightly, suddenly feeling that the peach in his hand no longer smelled good.
Later, Ji Zeyu met Wei Yichen at the stairs on the second floor. Although Wei Yichen did not reach out to take it directly, he looked at him tenderly and said to him, "The grapes look very sweet."
Ji Zeyu could not refuse such a hint, so he had to let Wei Yichen take a small bunch.
"Eat so much fruit at night?" Wei Yichen asked casually, with some concern in his eyes.
"It's for Lu Nanyun." Ji Zeyu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
Wei Yichen's movements obviously paused, and then he raised the corners of his lips as if nothing had happened and said, "Really?" The two short words concealed some difficult-to-detect emotions.
Ji Zeyu finally walked to the door and met Qi Aodong again. He didn't say anything, he just looked at the fruit in his hand, and then looked up at Ji Zeyu.
Ji Zeyu couldn't stand the look in his eyes like a dog begging for food. He hesitated for a moment and handed an apple to Qi Aodong: "Here you go."
Qi Aodong showed a pure smile, and his cold eyes became gentle: "How do you know I want to eat apples?"
"Guessed." Ji Zeyu smiled.
As he said that, he glanced at the few fruits left, his expression a little tangled.
While Qi Aodong was eating an apple, he casually asked: "What's wrong?"
"It seems too little. I wonder if Lu Nanyun will think I'm perfunctory..." Ji Zeyu replied softly.
Qi Aodong's fingers immediately tightened, gripping the apple tightly, and the curve of his lips became stiff. After a moment, he said coldly: "If he is not satisfied, let him get it himself."
Ji Zeyu glanced at him and then said, "Probably not, Xiaoyun has a pretty good temper."
Then, he opened the bedroom door and walked in. He didn't see Qi Aodong's frown and a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
After entering the door, Ji Zeyu walked to the table carrying the fruit and carefully placed the plate on the table.
"Why did it take so long?" Lu Nanyun closed the computer and reached for the plate. When he saw the few cherries left and the grapes that had obviously been picked, he paused slightly and his expression did not change.
Ji Zeyu felt a little embarrassed: "I met Xiao Huai and the others on the road..."
Lu Nanyun took a cherry and put it in his mouth, then looked up at him: "So you were robbed?"
"That's right..." Ji Zeyu scratched his hair, "Isn't it too little? I'll go down and get you some more."
With that said, he walked towards the door.
"No need." Lu Nanyun called him calmly, "That's enough."
Ji Zeyu turned back to look at him and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing unusual about his expression.
There was a camera in the room, and Ji Zeyu didn't dare to say much. He nodded. He originally wanted to continue lying on the bed and playing with his phone, but he heard Lu Nanyun say to him: "Come here."
Ji Zeyu was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Nanyun. Seeing that he stood up and seemed to have something to say to him, he reminded him in a low voice: "There are still cameras in the room..."
"I pulled it out just now." Lu Nanyun said calmly, as if he had done something normal.
"Pull it out again?!" Ji Zeyu was shocked, "Aren't you afraid that the staff will ask you to compensate you?"
Lu Nanyun looked at him with her narrow eyes, showing no concern. He picked up something from the table, walked to Ji Zeyu and handed it to him: "Take it."
Ji Zeyu took a closer look and saw that they were VR glasses and a joystick, specifically for playing games.
Although Ji Zeyu originally chose to be roommates with Lu Nanyun because he wanted to play games, not long after they became roommates, they were ordered not to be in the same room, so these things were never used again.
Ji Zeyu was stunned and looked up at Lu Nanyun, only to see that he had already opened the big screen with skillful movements.
"You want to play a game?" Ji Zeyu looked at him and asked.
"Want to play." Lu Nanyun answered casually while selecting a game, "Accompany me?" As he said that, he selected an adventure game and looked back at Ji Zeyu with raised eyebrows.
"But a new album is going to be released tonight..." Ji Zeyu said softly. He thought to himself, it's already this time, how can Lu Nanyun still have the heart to play games
Lu Nanyun looked at Ji Zeyu calmly.
"I heard this game is very fun." After a moment, he said calmly, "Are you sure you don't want to try it?"
Hearing what Lu Nanyun said, Ji Zeyu suddenly felt a little excited about playing games, and his original nervousness suddenly became much less intense.
So, he couldn't help but relax under Lu Nanyun's gaze, and the corners of his lips raised: "Okay."
Lu Nanyun helped Ji Zeyu put on VR glasses, and the two entered the adventure game together. The scene was a dark castle. They were on different floors and wanted to escape from it together.
Ji Zeyu opened the door to his room in the game, and as soon as he went out, he saw a female ghost hugging his legs. His hand shook, and then he swung the weapon in his hand to kill him.
Ji Zeyu, who was still in shock, said loudly to the people next to him: "Where is the fun? This is too scary!"
"Scared?"
Because he was wearing glasses, Ji Zeyu couldn't see Lu Nanyun's expression, but he could hear his leisurely and calm tone, and he suddenly said unconvinced: "Pediatrics!"
"Come to me on the sixth floor, hurry up." Lu Nanyun suddenly said to him, "If you are scared, hide behind me." There was a hint of seriousness in his tone.
Ji Zeyu held the operating handle and followed the camera in the game to find the direction to the sixth floor. The various terrifying ghosts that appeared along the way made his adrenaline rush.
When Ji Zeyu saw a faceless child rushing towards him, a chill ran down his back and he quickly took off his glasses.
In shock, he looked at Lu Nanyun and saw that the other party was skillfully killing monsters in the game. The screen is divided into two sides. The right side is Lu Nanyun's perspective. He is looking for Ji Zeyu in the game.
Sensing that there was no movement from Ji Zeyu's side, Lu Nanyun frowned slightly and said in a confused tone, "Why are you not moving?"
Ji Zeyu was about to say that he didn't dare to play anymore, when he suddenly heard him say again: "Did you faint from fright?"
"..." Ji Zeyu was speechless for a moment. He felt that Lu Nanyun might have played this game just to see himself embarrassed, and he felt unhappy.
"Forget it, just stand where you are and I'll go find you." Seeing that he didn't respond, Lu Nanyun said casually.
Ji Zeyu looked at the situation on the big screen and suddenly had a plan in mind, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
Lu Nanyun tried to find Ji Zeyu in the game, and encountered various monsters from time to time along the way.
At this moment, a ghost with a tilted head rushed over and pounced on Lu Nanyun's waist. Lu Nanyun was about to raise the operating handle in his hand to kill it, when suddenly he felt a pair of hands hugging him hard on his waist.
Ji Zeyu watched the female ghost on the screen hug him up, and with quick eyes and hands, he hugged Lu Nanyun's waist from behind and rested his chin on his shoulder. His movements were exactly the same as the female ghost on the screen.
Lu Nanyun's body trembled obviously, and then froze for a few seconds.
Ji Zeyu felt the other party's seemingly frightened reaction, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and his mood suddenly became very good.
In the darkness, Lu Nanyun forgot to react. Ji Zeyu could feel that his breathing became a little faster and the muscles in his back were slightly tense, but he did not speak.
Ji Zeyu was suddenly confused - was he frightened
At this moment, Lu Nanyun quickly took off the VR glasses on his head, looked down at his hands on his waist, and then looked back at the person behind him.
The moment he turned his head, Ji Zeyu saw the other person's profile, which looked unreal in the dimness. The bridge of his nose was as high as a sculpture, and his narrow eyes looked straight at him. There seemed to be a hint of something in his eyes that he had never seen before. Emotions.
Ji Zeyu is shorter than Lu Nanyun. From this angle, he needs to raise his neck slightly to look at Lu Nanyun.
The distance was too close, so close that as long as Lu Nanyun came closer, the corner of his lips would touch the tip of Ji Zeyu's nose.
Ji Zeyu's heartbeat began to accelerate inexplicably, and he couldn't tell whether it was because he was caught playing a prank, or because the excitement from the horror game scene just now was too strong.
Lu Nanyun subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Ji Zeyu's wrist, his eyes dimmed slightly and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
The moment Lu Nanyun's fingers were about to touch Ji Zeyu's hand, Ji Zeyu finally reacted, quickly let go of his waist, took a step back and distanced himself, and looked up at him: "Did it scare you?"
Lu Nanyun turned around and looked at him, his face expressionless, looking at Ji Zeyu with burning eyes.
Ji Zeyu suddenly felt nervous: "I just wanted to make a joke..." He subconsciously took a step back, trying to stay away from Lu Nanyun.

Lu Nanyun suddenly took a step forward and looked directly at him. After a moment, his voice sounded in the darkness:
"Scared me."
Ji Zeyu was slightly startled.
He thought Lu Nanyun would say it was just childish, or think he was naive, but at this moment Lu Nanyun directly admitted that he was scared.
Ji Zeyu swallowed, feeling the pressure from the other party, and whispered: "Really, really, I don't seem to be exerting much force..."
Lu Nanyun stood in front of Ji Zeyu and looked down at him.
"You shouldn't be angry, I..." Ji Zeyu carefully observed his expression.
"Yes." Lu Nanyun looked at him straightly.
Ji Zeyu's heart tightened and he pursed his lips: "Then, I apologize to you..."
"No need." Lu Nanyun looked at him with a calm expression, seemingly not as unhappy as he imagined.
A moment later, just when Ji Zeyu didn't understand the other party's intention, Lu Nanyun raised the corners of his lips, lowered his eyes and said, "Behave like a baby, and I'll forgive you."
Ji Zeyu was stunned.
"Being like a baby?" Ji Zeyu couldn't believe his ears, "I can't act like a baby." He thought Lu Nanyun was joking.
"Why not." Lu Nanyun's tone was somewhat serious, "You acted coquettishly at Luo Ming and the others during the meeting that day."
When Ji Zeyu heard this, he was confused at first, and then realized that Lu Nanyun was talking about the time when he showed weakness.
But it's been so long since that meeting, why does Lu Nanyun still remember it
Ji Zeyu looked into Lu Nanyun's eyes and defended: "I didn't act coquettishly. Teacher Zhou Cheng said that I should occasionally show weakness to my teammates, so I did that..."
"Zhou Cheng taught you this?" Lu Nanyun raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone seemed a bit colder and a little sour, "So you also acted coquettishly towards him?"
"No." Ji Zeyu found Lu Nanyun's question puzzling, "No boy would want to see other boys acting coquettishly."
"Oh." Lu Nanyun's cold voice rose slightly, with a bit of joy, "I want to see it."
Ji Zeyu's Adam's apple rolled. After a moment, he recalled how he "acted like a baby" at that time, lowered his eyes to the floor, and whispered: "Xiaoyun, I was wrong, I shouldn't have scared you, don't angry… "
The voice was obviously a bit softer than usual, with a slight nasal sound.
In the darkness, Ji Zeyu couldn't understand Lu Nanyun's eyes. Seeing that he didn't respond for a while, he thought he was dissatisfied, so he said, "See, I told you I won't act like a baby anymore."
At this moment, Lu Nanyun suddenly stretched out his hand and messed up his hair with his broad palm.
"Be good." Lu Nanyun's voice sounded good, "I forgive you."
"What do you mean?" Ji Zeyu said unhappily, "Are you touching a puppy or a child?"
"Puppy." Lu Nanyun said with curled lips.
"Damn, why are you like this?"
Lu Nanyun did not speak, but put the VR glasses back on Ji Zeyu's head with gentle movements.
Then, Lu Nanyun helped him put on the headphones, touched his earlobe with his fingers, pinched it a little harshly, and said to him: "You are not allowed to take it off without my order for a while."
Ji Zeyu was stunned for a moment, and his earlobes began to heat up and turned red.
"Did you hear that?" Lu Nanyun's voice was a little soft, but it made Ji Zeyu's heart beat faster again, and he nodded subconsciously.
The two returned to the game.
Lu Nanyun asked Ji Zeyu to hide in the room and not move. He went through the thorns and killed all the monsters on the way. He came to his room and said to him: "Follow me, don't get lost."
At this moment, Ji Zeyu could no longer be frightened by the terrifying special effects in the game. He felt an inexplicable sense of security when he looked at the game characters in front of him.
It seemed that he had experienced this sense of security from Lu Nanyun before.
After the two of them met, Ji Zeyu found the real fun of the game. Lu Nanyun was killing monsters in front, while he was behind to make up for the damage.
Lu Nanyun deliberately gave him all the heads. Every time he struck, he struck quickly and accurately, but he stopped when the ghost had only a few health points left. He watched the young man beside him excitedly running over to kill monsters, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
They couldn't see each other's expressions at the moment, but they could feel each other's mental state.
Ji Zeyu could sense Lu Nanyun's tolerance for him.
In this tolerance, Ji Zeyu grew up rapidly, and was soon able to deal with full-health monsters on his own. His movements became more and more skillful, and he even surpassed Lu Nanyun in speed.
The two reached the final level, and Ji Zeyu rushed in front of Lu Nanyun.
Lu Nanyun subconsciously shouted: "Don't go up yet..."
The next second, the words "successful" appeared on the big screen, and the scene was frozen in the scene of Ji Zeyu killing the boss with his own hands.
Lu Nanyun was stunned for a few seconds and couldn't help but laugh: "You really dare to do it."
Ji Zeyu took off his VR glasses, holding his helmet like a victorious warrior, raising the corners of his lips, and his proud smile looked a bit cute: "Of course, I am better than you now."
Lu Nanyun looked at him with a bit of unconscious endearment in his eyes: "Well, Xiao Yu is the best."
Ji Zeyu was slightly startled. He rarely heard Lu Nanyun call him that, so he immediately looked away in confusion, hiding his nervousness unnaturally: "One more time..."
Lu Nanyun nodded and picked a new game without saying a word, and the two of them started a new adventure...
Playing until late at night, Ji Zeyu was sometimes nervous and sometimes excited. He had long forgotten the tension of waiting for the group school to come online.
Lu Nanyun used his method to completely relax Ji Zeyu's mood.
In contrast, the fans of the en boy band are much more nervous than he himself. They are all waiting for the album to be released as soon as possible to buy it.
Even before the album was released, discussions about the group album were already abuzz on Weibo.
"Hurry up at midnight, I want to buy it!!"
"I must be among the first 1,000 people, I heard I can get signatures!"
"Come on, EN boy band, the album will definitely be a hit!"
On the other side, the fans of the Aurora boy group were also extremely nervous. The failure of "Aurora in Dreams" and the polarizing comments after the broadcast of "The Idol Is Coming" made them unable to maintain their superficial composure.
Although after the group exclusive time was confirmed, A group fans clamored that the Aurora boy group would definitely still be the sales champion, but the popularity of the EN boy group expanded faster than they imagined, and subconsciously they no longer dare to look down on this opponent.
They can only pray from the bottom of their hearts, hoping that the quality of the EN men's team will not be too good, so that they can firmly occupy the position of sales champion.
"Attention, fans of Group A, you must grab it immediately when midnight arrives, and you must widen the sales gap as soon as possible!"
"Our A group has always been the most powerful, and we must not give any fast food boy group a chance to overtake us."
"Hum, let's just be humble. How can a certain marketing group beat us in terms of sales?"
"Don't worry, group A is still guaranteed to win. If they don't win, I will stand on my head and sing the song of the en boy group."
"Go, go, go, crush the en boy band!"
At midnight on August 29th, the en boy band and the aurora boy band released their albums on time.
Albums are divided into electronic albums and physical albums.
Electronic albums are cheaper and more convenient to buy. Once you buy them, you can listen to them immediately. They are also a very important channel for fans to sell sales at the moment. Physical albums are more expensive and take time to be mailed, but they will give away a lot of peripherals. They are true fans. Our best choice.
As soon as the album was released, all fans of Group A went out to boost sales of their idol. Many wealthy fans opened trumpets and bought many albums to show their support.
The fandom of the A group is obviously more mature than that of the EN boy group. There is a company behind it that specializes in operations and is very familiar with the various routines to improve the album. Many people do not take the EN boy group seriously at all.
In contrast, among the fans of the en boy group, there are relatively few people who buy hundreds or thousands of albums at once. They mainly rely on the power of group fans and fans of various companies, so in the first few hours, en The sales of boy bands are destined to be at a disadvantage.
Not long after the album was released, the album sales of Aurora boy group gradually widened the gap with that of EN boy group. Since then, it has been maintained at a certain number, and it seems that a gap has formed.
Fans of Group A stared at the sales data and could no longer control their excitement.
"Team A is so awesome! They really won!"
"Ah, I'm so happy! Group A will always be number one!"
"I just said that a certain boy group can't compete with it. It would be better to give up as soon as possible."
"I'm going to buy a few more to celebrate!"
"Our fans are awesome! They are rich! This is the A-group you will never win!"
Fans of the EN boy group were very frustrated at first, because the album sales seemed to be unable to catch up with their predecessors. Everyone really felt the terrifying power of the A group to take the first place in sales every year.
When the group album was first released, Jiang Li was very excited. In order to show her support for Ji Zeyu, she changed her account avatar to Ji Zeyu's avatar and bought many electronic and physical albums to show her support.
But when Jiang Li saw the sales gap, her mood suddenly became a little bad.
After all, the Aurora boy group debuted relatively early, and the marketing routines and data operations behind it are relatively mature. Although this result is foreseeable, Jiang Li still feels a little unconvinced by the EN boy group.
In order to calm down, Jiang Li clicked on the album called "Eleven Novae" and started listening to the first song. She closed her eyes and felt the voices of the teenagers, and looked for Ji Zeyu's voice in it.
The quality of the album is very high, and Jiang Li was not disappointed at all. Except for "Rose Nebula", which has become popular for a long time, several other songs have also maintained a very high level. Different from the saliva songs on the market and the music that blindly pursues high-end music, each song has a beautiful melody while also possessing It has a unique conception and connotation.
As Jiang Li listened, she liked it more and more. At this moment, the music software played the original song of the teenagers, which is also the song with the same name as the album - "Eleven Novae".
The prelude of this song is very catchy. It is a melodious violin sound. It is completely different from the previous fast song, but the lyrical melody has a bit of enthusiasm. The clear voices of the teenagers slowly "remember" this song. The theme is explained.
Jiang Li slowly opened her eyes. She couldn't believe that this was an original song by the EN boy band. Whether it was the theme, lyrics or melody, it had a high-end quality and at the same time had a penetrating empathy.
Jiang Li couldn't help but sit up, opened the lock screen of her phone, and looked at the lyrics carefully. She was immersed in the song, and her thoughts returned to the draft.
In front of her eyes appeared the young man who had just been blacklisted by the entire Internet. She watched him grow step by step, changing other people's bad impression of him bit by bit, improving his ranking time and time again, and finally standing at the top. He lived up to the expectations of all those who liked him.
This scene was so clear that Jiang Li seemed to see the young man smiling at her on the stage filled with snowflakes. Her nose was a little sore and she didn't dare to continue listening. She took off her headphones to catch her breath and decided to go to bed early.
The next morning, the first thing Jiang Li did after waking up was to check the album sales. Aurora was still in the lead. She was a little disappointed. She clicked around in the software carelessly with her fingers, and suddenly clicked on the new song list.
After that, Jiang Li's eyes widened instantly.
In the new song rankings, "eleven novae" suddenly landed at the number one position. The number of listens is far behind the songs behind it, and it is still soaring. The number of comments has exceeded 30,000.
Jiang Li's eyes showed disbelief - what happened last night? !
