Dressed as a top-notch stand-in for the president

It was seven past five in the morning.

Ji Yu woke up from a fragmented dream, and heard Ling Lan's voice coming out of the bathroom. The other party was wiping her hair with a towel. Recently, her silver hair had lost some color and turned into a grayish variegated color, but This does not reduce her charm at all, but makes people feel more real.

Ling Lan caught a glimpse of the movement in her bed, and said, "Director Wang said just now that we should go to the interview room after waking up and make a separate edit for each of us before our debut night."

Ji Yu said yes softly.

She raised her hand to remove the quilt, and dragged her heavy and tired body to sit up from the bed. She came back very late last night and only slept for more than two hours, and this time was not enough to heal her before So hard, so now when I get up, it seems that only the soul is sitting up, while the body is still lying on the bed.

She sat there for a while, and when Ling Lan said to turn on the light, she nodded half a beat later, and heard the other party say: "There is a dinner party before debut tonight, and the dormitories next door are all in Prepare the show, do you have anything you want to perform?"

From the audition to now, Ji Yu has gone through one stage after another. Hearing the word "evening party", she already thought of various performances reflexively. It was not until Ling Lan's inquiry in the second half of the sentence that she realized that this It's a stage she can choose not to go to.

She pondered for a long time, and when Ling Lan thought she was seriously thinking about the program, she heard her slowly say in the room: "...No."

Since she entered the show, she has faced too many stages, she has been a C position, a captain, and tried other positions. In addition, she has overcome her own obstacles and filmed underwater dances, and she has been on stage again and again. Climbing to the highest throne in the rankings, he showed a lot of singing, dancing and musical instruments.

——But she thought, it seems that she has never been a spectator.

It has been a long time since she gave up her determination to win or lose, she just sat there, watching a performance by an ordinary girl group member, and felt the power conveyed in it, because she has experienced too many things on this road to this day , found that she had almost forgotten that she had come here at first just to pass on power to "Si Tian".

Ling Lan waited for a while, and then waited for her to say "No", she blinked twice unexpectedly, and suddenly realized, she smiled and said to her: "It's okay, then you can watch my show! Hehe, I haven't done it for a long time I've done my old job, and I'll show you guys tonight!"

Ji Yu smiled warmly, and said to her, "Okay."

After Ling Lan finished tidying up in the room, closed the door and left, Ji Yu got up from the bed, opened the cabinet, and took out the clothes of the students here habitually. She was going to put them on for breakfast and then walked to the interview room, grabbing the clothes with her fingertips. Pulling down the familiar cotton fabric, when Ji Yu closed the door, he looked down at the clothes in his arms and raised his eyebrows.

She touched the clothes in her arms, as if there was a bit of nostalgia in her movements.

"I remember that I have handed in the clothes of class F before...why do I still have them in the closet..." She sighed lazily to the system.

The system hesitated for a moment and said, "What class F clothes?"

Ji Yu shook off the T-shirt in her hand, and was about to take a closer look at the clothes that carried the gray memories of her past, but she keenly noticed the big label "A" on the side of the clothes from the corner of her eye.

She was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, and replied to the system: "It's nothing, I read it wrong just now."

The system slowly responded with "Oh", but it didn't realize it until Ji Yu walked into the bathroom and changed clothes. The light in the bedroom outside was also on just now, and Ji Yu was standing in the cabinet Even if you can't see clearly for a while, you should not recognize pink as gray.

It hesitated for a moment, and wanted to ask something, but seeing Ji Yu's expression reflected in the mirror, it felt that it was useless to ask, Ji Yu probably wouldn't tell the truth.

……

After half an hour.

Ji Yu sat in the hotel cafeteria and had breakfast. At this time before, the cafeteria was always very lively, not to mention full of people, but it was absolutely lively, because there were always girls who had breakfast at different times gathered together , either chatting about the stage for a few days, or chatting about the previous life, or agreeing on the itinerary after the show ends——

But now, the cafeteria is deserted.

The matter of Chu Nanxing's retirement seems to have affected all the girls a little bit. Wang Luoshui did not let everyone discuss this matter in their spare time, so the students became more cautious in their words and deeds. In addition, they were eliminated on the stage last time. There are 19 people, and now the debut night is getting closer and closer, but there are only about [-] people left in this hotel.

Everywhere seemed empty.

As if to indicate their future days, outstanding girl group members will go higher and higher in this circle, and the scenery they will see will be more grand and splendid, but correspondingly... there will be fewer and fewer people around them.

Ji Yu quietly lowered her head to eat the soup dumpling. After biting through the skin of the steamed stuffed bun, she blew on the meat stuffing wrapped in the soup. Immediately, she bit down lightly, but the tip of her tongue was still burnt by the scorching heat. one time.

She glanced at the long dining table, picked up a bottle of sponsored brand drinks piled up next to her, unscrewed the lid, took a sip of the sparkling water, and cooled the tip of her tongue, the system suddenly said:

"Hey, the design of this bottle is so interesting, it actually contains what each of you said when you entered the show."

Ji Yu said "En", and replied casually: "There is a joint name."

In some of the small videos recorded before and the lucky draws for fans, there will be drinks of this brand in them. She has also drawn gifts for fans, so she knows the design of this joint drink.

The system followed along and said, "Yes, but I didn't notice it before, this time there seems to be a new golden smell, who is it a joint name with?"

Ji Yu subconsciously glanced at the pile of drinks next to her.

Her gaze was calm, staring at the pile of drinks that was designed and arranged as high as a hill. After a few seconds, she turned her gaze back and continued to eat the soup dumplings on her plate.

"Since when have you become so interested in these things?"

Ji Yu asked the system casually.

The system didn't make a sound, and after a while, it asked in a low voice, "Yuyu, are you unable to distinguish these colors?"

Ji Yu moved her cheeks and swallowed the bun in her mouth, as if she didn't hear the system's problem.

It was very quiet in the cafeteria.

Only the sound of her moving chopsticks from time to time resounded subtly.

……

interview room.

Wang Luoshui specially made some cards for them, and asked the students who came to be interviewed to use the key words on the cards they drew to express their feelings at this time, as a sensational content before their debut night.

Although audiences always hate the sensational part in variety shows, it is undeniable that the more clichéd something is, the more people will buy it. The girl group itself is a tearful, inspirational element, sensational content and intense The stage collisions alternate with each other, fans and audiences will be deeply impressed by this and have extremely strong emotions.

She finished a few people first, and the one who just left was Jin Huang, who had also made great progress since the broadcast started. The other party still has well-developed tear glands. At that moment, Ji Yu, who was tirelessly encouraging herself, burst into tears again, causing Wang Luoshui to be somewhat infected by her emotions.

After Jin Huang went out, Wang Luoshui sat alone in the room, staring at the cards in his hand and shaking his head, then asked his assistant to help find the next interviewee to come in.

"Dong dong."

A polite knock sounded on the door.

Wang Luoshui said "Come in", the doorknob was unscrewed, and a girl with long black curly hair walked in, with the usual gentle smile on her face, coupled with those peach blossom eyes that seemed to express love, Immediately made people feel good.

"Ji Yu."

Wang Luoshui called out her name, and made a "please" gesture to the chair in front of him. Ji Yu raised her eyes and saw a small whiteboard next to it. It imitated the countdown of the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination when she was a student, and wrote——

"There are still 5 days until the debut night."

Wang Luoshui said: "You have been here for a total of 46 days, and now it is about to end, how do you feel?"

Sitting there, Ji Yu thought about it seriously, the smile on the corner of her lips was tinged with a bit of truth.

When she first came here, she didn't dare to look forward to this stage, and even couldn't wait to leave, because no matter the people or things in this world, she felt that she didn't belong to her——

Now, she has gone through one stage after another, so close to her dream, met interesting girls such as Ling Lan, Jiang Lianque, Rong Bai, Jin Huang, etc., and found...

It turned out that she had always belonged here.

And Meng Rendong.

It turned out that she had always been loved by the other party, and she had always loved the other party.

Ji Yu calmed down the emotions in her heart, and then slowly said: "I feel that many things have changed. I heard a lot of voices that I couldn't hear before. Those encouragements, applause, and cheers made me feel that the world is so beautiful."

Wang Luoshui always felt that when she mentioned the word "world", she was referring to something in particular.

But she didn't ask directly, but said: "Let's play a game, you draw a card, see the key words on it, and tell the story you think of based on the key words, how about it?"

She is the director, so naturally she has the final say.

Ji Yu casually took out the leftmost white card from her, and when she turned it over, she found that it said "the first stage", and she stared at these five words for a long time.

Then, the smile on her lips spread to the corners of her eyes.

"The first stage, everyone knows that my first stage here should be when I was learning the theme song "Go!", that time I was promoted from class F to class A, and I also boarded the first stage in my life C position."

"But in my mind—"

Ji Yu looked at the void of the camera, with nostalgia in her eyes: "My first stage was with my good friend at that time, she was very good at that time, and I was too nervous, so I could only watch in a daze She ignited the stage, and felt that her heartbeat and breathing were controlled by her..."

"At that time, I was thinking, when can I become as powerful as her, stand on a stage as high as her, and receive cheers and applause with her."

Wang Luoshui continued in a timely manner: "Now that you have done it, you have become very good. In the previous four rankings, you have always been No.1. I believe that you can also achieve your ideal results on the night of your debut."

Ji Yu answered her with a smile: "Okay."

only……

I don't know when I can stand with her again and share this glory together.

Wang Luoshui understood the loneliness in her eyes for no reason, and somehow added: "And you are so outstanding now, she must have seen your growth along the way, and is proud of you."

This time Ji Yu just laughed and didn't speak.

Wang Luoshui asked her to draw a card.

Ji Yu took out the second card and found two words written on it: "Fan".

She smiled again.

It seems that being able to accept this interview today is a very happy thing for her.

Different from other people's melancholy, emotional, or tearful, reluctance, she looks very relaxed in this interview, as if stealing half a day's leisure, fingertips caressing the word "fan" on the card.

"I remember two very special fans," she said.

"The first one, I met before I was on this show. It has always liked to watch me dance, and thought that if I could participate in the talent show, it would definitely surprise everyone. In my most difficult time, it was my only one. audience, and my first fan.”

"The second one is that when I was standing on the first stage, because no one knew me, most of the people who came to the venue to support the show were not my fans. As a result, when I was performing, I saw a flashlight rising into the sky at the end of the venue. , there is a shadow of a fish swaying in the light."

"The first fan encouraged me to go on stage, and the second fan brought me more support. Since then, as long as I stand on the stage, I can always see the warm golden orange light underneath."

Even if you stand on the stage now, you may no longer see the difference between those flashing lights——

But Ji Yu was not afraid.

Because the warmth that once lit up has been branded in her heart, whenever she thinks of it, it will make her feel warm, and that is enough.
