shining star

Chapter 6

X-Mantic's debut date is set for December 12th, Christmas Eve.

Before that, they can have four days to rest and move dormitories, and then there will be a month and a half of hell-like intensive schedule.They need to digest the songs and dances of their debut album, need to record, shoot promotional photos, shoot the MTV of the title song, and rehearse for the Showcase on the night of their debut.

Ji Chen glanced at the full itinerary, his eyes darkened and he fell down on the sofa in the old dormitory, pretending to faint.

Du Zhuojie pushed the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and mechanically added in a cool and ascetic voice,

"After the Showcase, we have two interview-type online programs in City B. On the same day, the reporters and photographers of "StarLight" will come to the hotel for a short interview and filming. Their editor-in-chief heard that the company will release a new boy group , I booked your page a month ago. Afterwards, City C had three radio stations, City G also had an interview and a short video platform cooperation event, and finally returned to City S, with two radio stations, a brand cooperation event, plus How is the rehearsal of the company's New Year's Eve concert? Are you satisfied? After visiting the first-tier cities in my country in a week, this year will be a successful conclusion."

He spoke in a calm and serious voice, and Ji Chen sat up startled in the dying state, "Is it a good thing to make a debut? How about relaxing?" He asked angrily, staring straight in front of him. The gold medal manager, as if grasping for a life-saving straw, pinched the other party's words in the conference room yesterday.

Du Zhuojie's eyes froze, "Do you want to be eliminated?"

Ji Chen choked for a moment, thinking of Xu Yue's dejected back that day, he stopped talking.

"I suggest you cherish these four days, because it is likely to be your only vacation in the next two years, and it may also be the last four days when you are treated as adults." Du Zhuojie left after saying a word dormitory.

If this was placed before the itinerary, Ji Chen would still say nonsense, but it was sensational, but now——he looked at the itineraries where he could hardly find the time to go to the toilet, and felt that the new manager might just be Tell the truth.

On the first day of vacation, the four of them invited Xu Yue, Xia Tian and An Mu to have a breakup meal.Originally, Xie Yaoqi was also included in the invitation, but after the meeting that day, no one could contact him again. He didn't reply to WeChat or phone calls, and the luggage in the dormitory was left unpacked.

According to An Mu, Xie Yaoqi is going to jump to another company to work hard.Ji Chen always felt that Xie Yaoqi owed Mi Le an apology, but Mi Le was not indifferent at all. For him, the final result had already given him a sigh of relief and proved everything.

The seven chose a barbecue restaurant, ordered dozens and dozens of beers, and vowed that they must not get drunk or return home after this meal.It seemed that some kind of tacit agreement had been reached, no one mentioned the future, and only talked about the details of the preparatory class in the past over and over again.When Ji Chen was just promoted, Xu Yue mistook him for a girl and talked about whether Lin Kaifeng's mouth that cherishes words like gold can speak ten sentences a week.

Mi Le spends very little time with them, so he can't intervene very much.He is not very good at drinking either. After drinking a symbolic drink at the beginning, Su Yu replaced him with fruit juice, fearing that his stomach just couldn't bear it, and he was not allowed to touch alcohol anymore.

Ji Chen laughed that he was too much like Mi Le's mother, and said that he had already put on the captain's airs.He slurred his speech, slurred his speech, and was obviously drunk, but he kept pouring wine into his glass.

During the dinner, Su Yu and Xu Yue took two bottles of beer alone and moved to an empty seat aside and chatted for a while.In fact, Mi Le had an impression of Xu Yue before entering the preparatory class.When he first joined the company, Su Yu mentioned this person.

Because the main business of idols is in singing and dancing, there are very few trainees who understand music creation. Su Yu happens to be one, and Xu Yue is also one. The time is also the longest.

Mi Le is a little envious, which is one of the reasons why he started to teach himself to create - he wants to have more common topics with Su Yu.

I don't know what they said, Xu Yue patted Su Yu on the shoulder, as if to comfort him in turn.After returning, Su Yu was silent for a long time, drank several glasses of beer on his own, his neck was flushed, and the veins on his forehead were looming.

Mi Le was afraid that he would get drunk, so he secretly moved the wine glass to his side, and when Su Yu picked up the wine glass, he deliberately leaned over to let him pinch the meat for him.Su Yu has always taken care of him, and will put down his glass if he is responsive to his requests.

It was just a round of toasting, except for the youngest Mi Le, everyone drank a lot.Although they were very restrained at the beginning and didn't say anything sentimental, in the end some people didn't hold back.

What Mi Le didn't expect was that Ji Chen would be the first to cry.Although he has the appearance of a woman, he has a cool hip-hop heart. He usually babbles and runs the train with his mouth full, as if he doesn't care about anything. Unexpectedly, at this moment, his eyes are red and tears Wipe the snot on Lin Kaifeng beside him.

In contrast, the people who should really be sad - Xu Yue, Xia Tian and An Mu were much calmer.

Xu Yue is 23 years old this year, it is impossible to continue to be a trainee, and the contract with the company has also expired.After the meeting that day, he mentioned that he planned to write songs behind the scenes and concentrate on creation.He likes music and is talented. This is a good way out, and it may even be a better way for him than being an idol, but he still can't hide a bit of disappointment in his words.

An Mu decided to continue working as a trainee in the company. He was the same age as Mi Le, both 19 years old, and had the opportunity to work hard for another two years.Xia Tian chose to quit. His family background was limited. Although trainees were provided with food and housing, they did not make money after all. It was not a serious job, so he did not have the courage to take risks.

They drank until two or three o'clock in the morning, and in the end only Mi Le and Lin Kaifeng remained fully awake.There are no people on the empty street, and the standing street lamps cast warm orange circles one after another on the road.The passing vehicles roared past with the wind.

Ji Chen, Xia Tian, ​​and An Mu walked side by side, shoulder to shoulder, singing high-pitched songs while dancing and striding towards the distant night.Xu Yue and Su Yu didn't make a lot of noise like they did. They walked quietly behind with Mi Le and Lin Kaifeng, but their footsteps were shaky, as if their center of gravity would shift in the next second and they would fall to the ground.

Mi Le circled around Su Yu worriedly. Seeing that he was leaning to the right, he trotted to the back right to support him. Seeing him leaning to the left, he went around to the back left to support him again.Su Yu couldn't walk in a straight line. He stood between Xu Yue and Lin Kaifeng for a while, and then twisted to the front to walk with Ji Chen. Mi Le was like a little tail that flicked back and forth but never got lost , rotating around his body.

After returning to the dormitory, Lin Kaifeng dealt with the three people in his room first, and then helped Mi Le carry Ji Chen into the next door.Although Su Yu strongly stated that he was fine and could help Mi Le to support Ji Chen, but before his arms were put on, he and Ji Chen lazily twisted together.

Mi Le didn't want to describe Su Yu that way, but the scene did look like two puddles of mud.

Ji Chen made a fuss for a long time, Lin Kaifeng carried him to bed, but as soon as he turned around, Ji Chen got up again, weeping for a while, and singing folk songs excitedly for a while.Mi Le's head hurt from his noise, and Su Yu didn't know which switch was poked, so he hummed the melody following Ji Chen in a daze.

He half-closed his eyes, his cheeks were reddish, his hands waving beats seemed to have been cracked, and he sang together with Ji Chen, "Sister, sit on the bow, brother, I'll go ashore!"

Lin Kaifeng's face darkened suddenly, and he really wanted to turn around, but there were still three alcoholics lying in his room, so he didn't have the slightest thought of going back.

Su Yu's body was dangling, and Mi Le was afraid that he would fall, so he wanted to wrap his arms around his waist or press a shoulder to calm him down, but Su Yu's body was too hot, and the powerful male hormones became more and more intense under the influence of alcohol. Strong, Mi Le raised his arms several times but didn't know where to start.Just by being close to Su Yu, Mi Le could feel the hot temperature on his skin through the thin air, his cheeks became hot unconsciously, and his heart was beating excitedly.

Fortunately, Lin Kaifeng made a decisive decision, pulled the quilt aside to cover the noisy Ji Chen, and then pressed the corner of the quilt to prevent him from running out.

"Will this suffocate him to death?" Mi Le worried, seeing the lump on the bed thrashing violently, but couldn't find a way out because it was crushed to death.

"No." Lin Kai replied calmly without raising his head, maintaining a cold poker face.

Mi Le shrunk his neck subconsciously, wondering if Lin Kaifeng really had a sense of proportion, or if he didn't care about Ji Chen's life at all, and just wanted to make people calm down quickly.

The group of "quilt groups" thumped several times, and then there was no movement.Lin Kaifeng lifted the quilt, Ji Chen had already fallen asleep, and Su Yu, who had no interaction with anyone, finally settled down.

Mi Le was thinking about how to coax him to go to bed, but Su Yu hiccupped twice before saying, "I'm asleep, good night."

He lowered his eyes, his gaze was dull, but he spoke clearly, and even turned around more steadily, as if he was not drunk.

Mi Le followed up into the opposite room worriedly, and saw Su Yu walk to the bed, stand still, turn around, and lie down. After walking in three smooth steps, there was a small snoring sound in the room, but the quilt was not covered, and the shoes were not covered. She didn't take off, but her cheeks and neck were still flushed.

Okay, sure enough, I'm still drunk.

Mi Le walked over in frustration, knelt down and unfastened his Martin boots, lifted his legs onto the bed, pulled the quilt from one side, and tucked in the corners of the quilt.Probably because he thought the lights were too bright, Su Yu turned over, turned his back to him, and curled up in a corner so that he could sleep more comfortably.After making sure that he was safe, Mi Le turned off the lights and quietly exited the room.

Lin Kaifeng went back to the next door.

Ji Chen snored intermittently, and the loud noise like thunder rang in Mi Le's ears intermittently.He couldn't sleep, and was worried that Su Yu would feel uncomfortable when he was drunk, so he wanted to go and have a look, but felt that it was impolite.Facing Su Yu, he hid too much selfishness.

After tossing and turning for a while, I don't know how long it took, and there was a rustling sound in the living room.Mi Le was stunned, and gently climbed out of bed and walked out of the room, only to see that the door opposite was slightly open, and Su Yu was no longer on the bed.
