shining star

Chapter 8

X-Mantic's debut MINI album has a total of three tracks, two fast and one slow, and the two fast songs are accompanied by dances that need to be digested.The title song is a dance-pop called "Romantic Winter", and it is also the only song that needs to be filmed for MTV.

The company packs them with the theme and concept of "love".The X in the group name X-Mantic stands for kiss and deep love, while Mantic is taken from the second half of Romantic (romantic).After Ji Chen found out, he was chilled all day, but fortunately, the company didn't let them follow the sunny and youthful princely love style, and preferred the cool and cold dark style.

The company customized a representative logo for each of them—Su Yu is a dagger, Ji Chen is a scorpion, Lin Kaifeng is a vine, and Mi Le is a candy, which respectively represent the four characteristics of love—lethal, seductive, and aggressive sex, and sweetness.

The styling of "Romantic Winter" is also dominated by black clothing and smoky makeup.Because the planner said that little girls nowadays don't like big boys who are sunny and healthy. If men don't blacken and don't have feelings, it's very unpleasant if they don't have feelings.

After hearing this, Ji Chen just wanted to clap his hands. He is convinced of this plan.Sure enough, a good boy group not only needs to have a good appearance, but also needs a plan that lives in the brain.

The intensive itinerary starts with rehearsal of new songs.

On the first day of work, Du Zhuojie visited them in the practice room.Formally signed boy groups have their own exclusive practice rooms, usually on the second to third floors of the company, while trainees can only use the practice rooms on the first and second floors of the basement.

When Du Zhuojie came, he was holding a bouquet of huge and flamboyant roses, and there was a small rectangular gift box between the delicate flowers.

Ji Chen hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Brother Du, isn't that a bit polite? When you visit the class, you can visit the class and give gifts?"

He made gestures to pick up the bouquet of roses, but Du Zhuojie ignored him and turned around mercilessly, "Practice your rap, this is for Mi Le."

As soon as the words fell, Mi Le, who was called by name, hadn't reacted yet, but Su Yu, who was sitting on the side resting, couldn't hold his breath for a while, stood up and stood in front of Du Zhuojie, "Manager, we are a serious boy group, this doesn't fit Rules, right?" His light-colored pupils were full of coldness.

Du Zhuojie was stunned for a moment before he understood, but instead he glanced at Su Yu with disgust, "Is it in line with the rules, I know you are a serious boy group, and we are also a serious company! This is Tan Yang sending Mi Le, and I think about it every day What were you thinking..." he muttered.

"Tan Yang?" Su Yu frowned.If he remembers correctly, this person is the Royal team leader who debuted two years earlier than them.

Du Zhuojie stuffed the flowers into Mi Le's hands, and said emotionlessly, "Royal's manager sent me a message, saying that Tan Yang wanted to tell you, congratulations on your official debut, and he is still attending Fashion Week in England, so he can't come back. Send the congratulatory gifts first."

"Yo, watch, or Richard Miller? That's a big deal!"

Just as Mi Le took the bouquet of flowers, Ji Chen glanced gossipingly at the gift box inside, with an ambiguous smile on his face, "I can't tell, Mi Le, so there really is a backstage?" He teased.

"No!" Mi Le denied it embarrassingly with a blushing face, holding the large bouquet of flowers helplessly, slandering Tan Yangtai in his heart for making a fuss out of a molehill. "Brother Xiaoyang is the elder brother of a neighbor I knew when I was young," he explained, "My mother knows his mother, and they usually give gifts to each other on birthdays, festivals, or anything worthy of congratulations. Don't think about it."

Speaking of this, Miller thought of his family in England, and couldn't help laughing as he plucked the beautiful rose petals.

Su Yu gritted his teeth, "Don't you know if he has a backstage? Besides, is this interesting?"

A cold voice sounded in the practice room, and the atmosphere instantly dropped below zero.

Ji Chen was taken aback, it was the first time he had heard Su Yu speak like this. "I'm just kidding..." Ji Chen scratched his head in embarrassment and muttered, always feeling that Su Yu even changed his temper after becoming the captain.

Mi Le couldn't help but panic, he could clearly feel that Su Yu was really angry.Although it was to defend himself, the angry tone still made Mi Le tremble, and his bright eyes turned around uneasily, innocent and nervous.

Su Yu's heart softened suddenly, who was he throwing his temper at?

"Put the gift aside and practice the song well first." He still softened his tone and spoke in a calm and rational tone as much as possible.

Mi Le immediately threw the flowers and watch aside, and trotted to his side.Seeing the child's obedient appearance for fear of getting angry, Su Yu's irritability was instantly calmed down again.He was a little reconciled, Mi Le really touched his emotions too much, but Su Yu found that he was willing to be so touched again.

He likes to be led by Mi Le, but what about Mi Le?

Su Yu's eyes fell on the ostentatious bouquet and expensive watch, and he was very concerned.Roses usually mean courtship, and he couldn't help but think of the night not long ago when Mi Le said he had someone he liked.

He came here for the person he likes, and the person he likes is here.

So, is this person Tan Yang?

This question has been circling in Su Yu's mind all day.In fact, he knew the answer was almost yes.

He remembered that when Mi Le first joined the company, he didn't know anyone among the trainees in the ordinary class, so the person he traveled thousands of miles for must be someone who had debuted or was about to debut.At that time, Tan Yang had already been promoted to the preparatory class for debut, which was worthy of him.

Taking a step back, the world is so big, in the same company, how many people can Mi Le know before joining the company?

At night, Su Yu was tossing and turning in bed, and Mi Le was lying on another bed with his back to him, wondering if he fell asleep.

Su Yu was actually a little hesitant. Although he realized and accepted that he liked Mi Le, he didn't decide whether to fight for it.Firstly, Mi Le has someone he likes, so the hope may not be great; secondly, what Su Yu likes is the whole Mi Le, including his stubbornness to come here for the person he likes, working so hard and desperately, that’s all Mi Le The shining point on the body.

He wants to protect his infatuation and persistence, but his only regret is that his sweetheart is not himself.

He thinks that Mi Le's relationship is beautiful, and he wants to win her over, but he is reluctant to destroy this beauty.

As for sexual orientation, when Mi Le confessed, Su Yu didn't think much about it.His mother is European, and he was educated since he was a child not to take a person's sexual orientation for granted, and to regard homosexuality and heterosexuality as equal and natural.

Of course, China is far less open than Europe in this regard, but Su Yu is not new to Mi Le's sexual orientation. There are many bisexuals and homosexuals in this circle, not to mention that Mi Le mentioned that he lived in the UK since he was a child. Should open up a lot.

After most of the night, Su Yu still didn't fall asleep, and after all, he couldn't bear it anymore, "Mile, are you asleep?" He asked in a low voice.

After a while, there was movement from the other bed, "No..." Mi Le replied, but his voice was vague with sleepiness.

Su Yu made a decisive decision and touched his bed, "Then let's talk." He said quickly, lifted the warm quilt and got in.

Mi Le was so frightened that he woke up instantly, and turned over excitedly, "What are you doing?" He widened his eyes vigilantly.

Su Yu patted his stomach reassuringly, "Talk to you heart-to-heart, and get closer to the team. This is the captain's duty." He said seriously.

Mi Le held back his frantic heartbeat, "Okay, okay." He moved back.At this moment, Mi Le was very grateful that the surroundings were dark, otherwise Su Yu would have seen his flushed face in embarrassment.

The room was very dark, and Su Yu didn't notice his backing movement, thinking about it in his own mind.Would it be reckless and rude to directly ask if the person he likes is Tan Yang?This will make him look gossip, and Mi Le is a thin-skinned person, so even his closest friends may ask tactfully, and, frankly speaking, Su Yu is not sure whether he has the ability to bear Mi Le's words "The person I like is Tan Yang".

Su Yu and Tan Yang stayed together in the preparatory class for a while. Although both of them are of mixed Chinese and European blood, they have no special intersection, and they probably have a taste of same-sex repulsion.At that time, when Royal made the list, the agent also considered that their positioning and packaging would be too similar, so they suppressed Su Yu for two years.

Now, after learning about the relationship between Tan Yang and Mi Le, Su Yu felt more and more incompatible and incompatible with this person.

He cleared his throat, trying to make himself sound more natural, "Last time you said that you came here for the person you like, what kind of person is he, is it convenient for us to chat?" Su Yu asked tentatively in as tactful a tone as possible .

In the silence, Mi Le didn't make a sound for a long time.Just when Su Yu was thinking about whether this question was too explicit, and was about to make amends, Mi Le said softly, "He is a very gentle brother."

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, brother... Mi Le called Brother Tan Yang Xiaoyang today.

"I didn't have much self-confidence when I was a child." Miller continued, "Our family has a complicated structure. I live abroad, surrounded by neighbors and classmates of different races, and sometimes we don't get along very well. The elder brother lives next door to my house. , takes good care of me, helps me out, plays with me, sings and plays the piano for me. He likes music very much, and he sings very well. He said he wants to stand on the stage and sing, and get a lot, a lot of applause and recognition, It's like..." Miller paused, and didn't say anything more.He smiled shallowly, "In short, he is very good, and I like him very much."

Mi Le talked to himself, feeling his cheeks getting hotter and hotter.He felt that Su Yu was still lying on his bed, but he kept silent, and there was another distance between the two.Mi Le couldn't detect his reaction after hearing these words.

For a moment, Mi Le noticed that Su Yu got out of bed.

"Okay, go to sleep, good night." A cold voice came from not far away, without any emotion.

Mi Le was startled, and blinked puzzledly, always feeling that Su Yu's mood seemed to drop all of a sudden.However, the other party had already quietly crawled back to another bed, and had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Mi Le had no choice but to say good night, and the room became silent again.

Su Yu lay back on his bed.

Tan Yang is the brother next door; that brother lives next door to mine - a perfect fit, Su Yu got the answer.

Yes, childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart, appearance, family background, talent can compete with me, maybe even better than me.Su Yu looked at the smallpox, and sighed long, feeling that his road ahead was very bumpy.
