Original music is the most important test of a trainee's overall qualities, requiring a good knowledge of music theory, dance, and a certain level of musical ideas and appreciation. This is the most difficult level for the trainees to pass, but passing it is an excellent exercise and sublimation.

Synergy is also one of the main themes of the program. The days of convincing and accommodating each other, endlessly discussing and arguing over a single note every day passed by very quickly, and with all the hard work of all of them, the day of the competition came, and the trainees presented the audience with a feast for the eyes and ears.

Of course, behind the stage is the parting, this round of elimination of a total of nineteen trainees, only twenty-five people remain. These 25 people will be divided into five groups of five people, each group will be led by a mentor to enter the next round of mentor support.

Five people will be eliminated from the mentor-support session, leaving the final 20 people to prepare for the debut night and compete for the six debut slots.

Because the mentor support act to mentor-based, so this link to the meaning of the entertainment and viewing is relatively strong, will not have too much impact on the overall situation, the five is to go or stay, basically depends on the popularity of the net casting accumulated.

However, when the groups were assigned, the trainees didn't feel the same way.

The grouping plan given by the show is to release five songs and have the trainees blind audition in descending order of their scores. In order to avoid the personalities of the mentors, such as Zheng Yuyang's specialization in slow songs and Chen Jiayi's inability to sing and dance, the five songs were homogenized and could be adapted according to the situation after the selection.

The trainees chose carefully, and the moment the song was revealed to their mentors, it was obvious to the naked eye that those who chose Qi Xingchen were a little lost.

Those who chose Bai Ye were very happy.

With Bai Ye's popularity, getting on his team and Bai Ye's fans helping out with two days of voting is pretty much the equivalent of being guaranteed a spot in the next round.

Among the other mentors, Wei Qin has a strong overall strength; Zheng Yuyang Live is infectious; Chen Jiayi's group relies on the performance of the trainees and has many chances to show their faces, so they won't be pushed down by the mentors.

Qi Xingchen is different, although he has demonstrated the basics of song and dance respectively, but singing and dancing together is another matter, no one has seen him on stage, no one knows whether he can sing and dance, and whether he can hold a formal stage.

Everyone followed their mentors anxiously, heading for the practice rooms with their name tags on them. Qi Xingchen was also leading the group to the practice room and caught a glimpse of Bai Ye.

He and Bai Ye are on the far left and one on the far right.

Not happy.

When everyone was in the practice room, Qi Xingchen ordered, "Xie Yuan, close the door."

The trainee named Xie Yuan closed the door.

Qi Xingchen put away his gentle demeanor from earlier, and the five trainees consciously stood in a row knowing he was about to speak.

"I know that drawing me was the last thing you guys wanted," Qi Xingchen paused, "and you're probably pretty lost right now."

The five looked at each other, probably not expecting him to lay it all out in the open.

"But you must remember that this is your competition, not mine. Regardless of my performance or lack of stage experience, you all must stand alone on your own. I'm just the icing on the cake, you guys are the real 'icing'."

The trainees exchanged glances, each with a clear picture in their hearts: Mr. Qi is going to dump the pot.

When the time comes that their group doesn't do well, Mr. Qi can say that it's because the trainees are incapable, not their own problem.

"Of course," Qi Xingchen paused, "you might think I'm shrugging it off when you hear this."

Practitioner: "......"

Is Mr. Ki a worm in their stomachs? How come he knows everything?

"Don't judge whether it's a dump or not, let's pull out the mule or the horse. On the contrary, you guys, than I have so much more stage experience, but don't be compared to me a newbie white. Can you guys do better than me?"

No one dared make a sound.

But all gave the answer in their hearts: yes.

Singing without dancing and dancing without singing are both hooliganism, and not having been on stage is even more of a paper exercise, so maybe by the time Qi Xingchen stops on stage, the light will be shifted, and all the practiced moves will be forgotten.

Qi Xingchen knew that they were too embarrassed to say it explicitly, so he didn't continue to ask, and called out to Xie Yuan: "Since they didn't answer, I'll take it as a yes. Xie Yuan, play the video of 'Somebody', let's watch it together."

The song they chose was called "Somebody", a dance song with an intense beat. Xie Yuan opens the tablet, and the trainees, who are about the same age as Qi Xingchen, sit on the floor in front of the tablet with him without any sense of distance.

Three minutes and forty seconds later, after watching a video, Qi Xingchen took out the small notebook that he had been using since the beginning of the competition, on which he had recorded the performance of each trainee.

After recording the program for so long, Qi Xingchen can almost remember which trainee is good at what and what they are not good at, and he reads the book because he is afraid that his memory will be off.

The camera master had been particularly curious about his book and had also fixed his focus on the pages.

I only saw that it was so densely packed that a whole book was almost full.

After thinking for almost five minutes, Qi Xingchen said, "First let's discuss how to adapt Somebody. Time is running out, so I'll start with my opinion, and you guys can add to it later."

The five men were stunned in unison.

Usually, I feel that Mr. Xiao Qi is quite easy-going and never refuses to play games and so on, but I never thought that he would be so sharp and strong when it comes to business.

"Among the five of you, Lu Zenan and Xie Yuan are good at dancing, Yang Leyin has a strong voice in the low register, Meng Meng is an all-rounder and a main dancer, and Jiang Yan's subwoofer rap is a masterpiece." ...... After analyzing the situation, our team lacks a high-functioning vocalist, don't you agree?"

Damn, Mr. Qi actually analyzed them so thoroughly? The five nodded in surprise.

"So picking up the tempo and weighting it down to a more intense dance song that avoids big choruses suits our team best, that's what you guys agree on, right?"

After Qi Xingchen said the characteristics of the five, they had this idea and nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice again.

"Then I'll go find the arranger, Yang Leyin, Jiang Yan, you two learn the song and the score for me. The remaining three of you will assign yourselves the task, each of you will do a piece of dance. I'll be done in about two or three hours, so I hope to see your results when I return."

"...... Good."

"Right," Qi Xingchen seemed to remember something, "there is no fixed center for this performance, the main song will have one part per person according to the level of suitability, and everyone will take turns to lead the dance for the chorus, so you guys can look at which part you want during the break, and then discuss it in unison when I come back. You can see which part you want during the break and discuss it when I come back."

Qi Xingchen ran off to the production room without waiting for them to answer.

Only a few trainees were left looking at each other in disbelief, not thinking that they would be led by the nose by Starlight Observer.

Qi Xingchen was in a hurry because he thought that if he could finish the changes earlier, everyone could get used to the music sooner. If we were late, we would have to catch the arranger helping the other groups first, which would be very time-consuming.

As it turned out, he had the foresight to not see any other instructors in the production room except for him. When he finished making his request to the arranger, the arranger said it was all a small request and asked him to wait for a while.

Qi Xingchen sat and waited, watching the dance video. The mentors got the tracks two days earlier than the trainees, so he practiced in advance, and the dancing was basically fine, but the singing was not skilled enough.

It's not difficult to rearrange the music, the hard part is the communication process. The arranger would change a little bit, give Qi Xingchen a little bit of feedback, until he was satisfied with the changes, and then he would move on to the next part. Two hours went by without realizing it.

During that time, even though he was bored and missed Bai Ye, Qi Xingchen couldn't help but not to send messages to Bai Ye.

Work is work and love is love. Bai Ye is an extremely serious person about his work, he can't disturb people at this juncture because of his own selfish desires.

But the heavens may have heard him, and it wasn't long before the missing figure appeared in the production room.

Seeing Qi Xingchen, Bai Ye unexpectedly said, "You're ahead of me."

"Get a head start," Qi Xingchen told him, "You didn't get a head start on me."

"Aye, never grabbed it, you're most prescient." Bai Ye responded to Qi Xingchen as he watched his arranger's screen.

The arranger listened to their conversation with a surprised look on his face.

During the time he worked with Bai Ye, he realized that Bai Ye was discreet and had a slight detachment from everyone.

The same can be said for the likes of Zheng Yuyang and Wei Qin, who have discussed tunes together in a way that seems harmonious on the surface, but is actually as polite as it gets between the lines.

This was the first time he had ever heard Bai Ye speak to another person in a tone similar to helplessness and indulgence.

It's been rumored that Bai Ye and Qi Xingchen have a good relationship, so it doesn't look like Qi Xingchen is trying to rub off on him.

Is really quite good.

The arranger said, "I'll finish up on Star's end right away, and then I'll get it for you."

"Okay," Bai Ye pulled over a stool and sat on Qi Xingchen's right side, "you go on, I'm in no hurry."

Qi Xingchen couldn't help but sniff at the familiar scent that enveloped him. Then he realized that the other party was sitting a bit far away from him, almost half an arm's length away.

He surreptitiously watched the arranger teacher and the deputies and assistants and others, and realized that they were all focused on the tune and no one was paying attention to this side.

So he grabbed the arm of the stool and took a small step to the right, then another, then another.

Eventually managed to close the distance to within a punch.

Bai Ye squinted at his movements and raised an eyebrow.

Unfortunately, even though the distance was close, Qi Xingchen didn't dare to ask out loud, taking out his cell phone: [What time are you going to practice until?

Bo: [Not sure, depends on progress. Almost ten or so if it's moving fast.]

Xingchen ：[Cat Scratching Floor.jpg]

Bo: [How?

Xingchen: [It's okay]

Xingchen: [I want to take them to practice for a while longer, it will be very late, you go back to the hotel and rest first, don't wait for me]

In recent days, after Qi Xingchen offered to practice kissing, the two have found time to kiss once a day.

Now that their schedules are staggered, health is certainly more important than kissing, and Qi Xingchen would never let Bai Ye stay up waiting for him to go back to bed for a kiss.

Bai Ye didn't say anything else, only said, [Okay, I'll see how it goes.]

The two of them were so close that they could not avoid seeing each other's cell phones when they looked down and typed. At that moment, I don't know who sent a message to Bai Ye, he cut out to reply, Qi Xingchen realized that he had set up a top WeChat.

The top friend's note name is a yellowish Xingchen symbol.

Qi Xingchen pondered for two seconds, realizing with hindsight that it was himself.

"......" Geez, when did Bai Ye put him on top?

How does he not know!

Qi Xingchen was so happy that he wanted to run outside for twenty laps, and was overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of joy and happiness.

As he ran, he yelled, "I'm Bai Ye's only top friend! I'm Bai Ye's only best friend!"

As he thought about it, his hands rubbed uncontrollably up and down his legs, and then he realized something else.

Bai Ye had been on his top list for a long time, but he had never changed Bai Ye's note. For one thing, Bai Ye's ear-returned avatar was too recognizable, so he could remember it even if he changed his name. Secondly, in his heart, his love and admiration for Bai Ye were on a par.

He respected everything about Bai Ye and never changed his note name. But now that Bai Ye has changed his, he would like to ...... He would like to have a couple's note with Bai Ye or something.

That's how it is with people who have just fallen in love, always trying to make little tired rituals to show that they are different from the other person.

He thought about it and moved his fingers to change Bai Ye's note to the same moon symbol.

It just so happened that Bai Ye finished answering his tweets, saw him in action, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you change me to the moon?"

Is the moon a reference to the "night" in his name?

"......" How did you get caught na, Qi Xingchen juggled: "I won't tell you."

Bai Ye was not a curious person, but amazingly, all the behaviors of his little fans piqued his interest, and he asked again.

Qi Xingchen continues to play hard to get: "Don't say don't say."

Seeing that the other party was not willing to talk, Bai Ye could only choose to suppress his curiosity. Five minutes later, the arranger asked Qi Xingchen to listen to the final version, and Qi Xingchen did so, listened to it once, was very satisfied, and greeted Bai Ye and left.

Master Bai is slightly depressed.

Qi Xingchen, oblivious to the fact that his boyfriend had been annoyed by the emoticons, hopped towards the practice room. At this time, the trainees who had finally completed the task Mr. Qi had given them were resting against the wall and chatting.

Yang Leyin said, "Do you understand what Mr. Xiao Qi meant when he said before he left, 'There is no fixed center for the performance'?"

"Center" refers to the person who stands in the middle of the performance and is also the person who gets the most shots. Meng Meng speculates, "Maybe they want everyone to have a chance to show their face."

Xie Yuan : "By definition, the mentor should be the CENTER of the mentor support session, and the team members are tasked with highlighting the mentor, which was the case last season."

Lu Zenan : "I just asked the other groups and they and the mentors are also defaulting to the mentor being the CENTER position and are dividing the PART according to advantage."

Xie Yuan : "How many groups did you ask?"

Lu Zenan: "Except for Mr. Chen's group."

Chen Jiayi was born in the theater and was not destined to be a center.

Upon hearing this, the rest of them didn't know what to say for a moment, and the practice room instantly fell silent.

Thirty seconds later, Meng Meng took the lead in breaking the silence, "That ...... I think Mr. Xiao Qi is actually quite good."

"I like the way he does things." Jiang Yan agreed.

"And from the first couple of installments, he has a foundation of song and dance and is just about to combine singing and dancing together, not exactly a hard act to follow."

"Yes, as far as stage experience goes, he shouldn't have stage fright, as long as he can memorize his alignment and not make any mistakes."

Xie Yuan concluded, "So it seems that Mr. Xiao Qi is not that far behind other tutors. Then let's ...... learn well from him?"

"Right!" The rest nodded, "Teacher Xiao Qi is very smart, let's give him a good hand, I guess it won't take long for him to get the hang of it!"

The five were suddenly filled with a fanatical confidence in their team, and they got up and continued practicing.

Qi Xingchen pushed in the door just in time to see the children working diligently and appreciated, "Not bad, how far have you gotten?"

"Your assignment is essentially complete and is being familiarized."

As well as thinking about how to teach you.

"Okay, let's listen to the altered music first, and let's learn the first four eight beats of the dance."

The five of them got together and after listening to it, each one of them raved, "Holy shit, that's the same backing track that just popped into my head!"

Qi Xingchen: "Are we sharing brain waves."

"Hahahahaha, what I said is true. This version is the most suitable version for our team, ask them if you don't believe me!"

"We think so!" Everyone replied in unison with a smile.

Seeing that the team was satisfied, Qi Xingchen felt that the three hours had not been wasted, and took off his clothes with high spirits, revealing his thin, white arms.

Then the trainees discovered something very sad.

In their eyes, the teacher Xiao Qi, who needs to be "brought up", does not need to be brought up at all.

Without even saying a word, they in turn began to take them.

After the five were introduced to "Somebody," Qi Xingchen taught them how to break down the four eight beats, then sang and led them through a section of the music.

This will make the progress faster.

They couldn't help but reveal their truest doubts: so with your strength, why do you want to be a Starlight Observer.

Wouldn't it be nice to be a direct mentor?

.

As Qi Xingchen expected, I really practiced until almost twelve o'clock today.

This is also because today is the first day of learning "Somebody", need to digest more things you, Qi Xingchen want to let the students first with the brain to digest before the devil training, deliberately put them back early.

The trainees left in a daze, and Qi Xingchen woke up Old Qin and An Ran, who were snoring, and went back to the hotel.

However, Qi Xingchen had just closed the door to his room when someone suddenly hugged him from behind!

Qi Xingchen was scared out of his wits, and it took him a while to remember that he had asked An Ran for his room card to give it to Bai Ye so that he could meet him and not alert the other tutors by knocking on the door.

Bai Ye hasn't used it a few times. Who knew it would be used to scare him tonight.

"Why don't you, why don't you make a sound?" Qi Xingchen's voice was small, "I thought a thief had come in."

Bai Ye: "Scared?"

"...... Hmmm."

"Just be afraid," Bai Ye chin rubbed against the top of his head, "and tell you not to tell me what the moon means."

Qi Xingchen almost forgot about this matter, and he was in a state of tears and laughter. Bai Ye, a top flow, deliberately hid in his room to scare him, but in order to avenge his own "concealment".

So childish.

Qi Xingchen got playful and pulled his IQ to the same childish level as Bai Ye: "If you dare to retaliate against me, then I'll tell you even less!"

Bai Ye : "...... Are you telling the truth?"

"Well, really."

"Then I'll have to change my next punishment."

"Sh-"

Before he could utter the word "么", Qi Xingchen's chin was pinched by someone behind him, forcefully pulling his face to the left.

The next moment, Bai Ye inclined his head and kissed him.

After training, Qi Xingchen is still not very good at changing breaths, but he has learned to respond. Probing the tip of his tongue, he carefully touches Bai Ye's tongue.

Bai Ye's hand around the other's waist tightened, and at Qi Xingchen's invitation, entered his city.

It was a quiet night, except for the ticking of the clock, only the slight sound of water could be heard. At the end of the kiss, Bai Ye's breath was confused, and his body pulled away from Qi Xingchen a few inches, ending the kiss prematurely.

Lips suddenly empty, Qi Xingchen a little do not know enough, half squinting eyes, still want to continue to kiss Bai Ye.

But then I heard Bai Ye say, "Wait, don't mess with me."

Qi Xingchen didn't understand what it meant, but as long as Bai Ye gave the word, he listened and stood there obediently.

The two were silent for a while until Bai Ye's eyes regained their clarity and she pinched the little fan's cheek as if she were angry, "Tell me."

Qi Xingchen was inconsolable, "Are you really that curious?"

"Uh-huh."

"...... Well," Qi Xingchen said, a little embarrassed, lowering his voice, "I've read a poem before, I don't know if you've heard of it."

Poetry?

Bai Ye was more curious: "Read it."

"It's one of Fan Chengda's songs." Qi Xingchen hung her head, revealing a section of the back of her slender, white neck.

"May I be like the stars and the king like the moon, and the nightly streams of light brighten each other."

May I be like the stars and the king be like the moon, and the nightly streams of light be bright with each other ......

Almost instantly, Bai Ye comprehended the sentiment embedded in the verse, his chest aching as he bowed slightly.

Planting a kiss on each other's necks cherished and precious.
