Chapter 562: Accident Before Going Onstage

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

As the second selection of “Flicker” approached, the contestants also began to practice almost without sleep or food.

No one could guarantee that the last spot would be theirs.

Except… Jing Jianbai.

Feng Duo looked at Jing Jianbai, who was focused on practicing the piano beside him, and looked away indifferently.

In any case, his father would spend money to help him in the end. There was no point in practicing.

He only glanced at the time. It was already eight in the evening. Feng Duo frowned and finally spoke to Jing Jianbai reluctantly.

“Its already so late. Aren’t you going back? The competition is tomorrow.”

After all, he was his teammate in this competition. Feng Duo’s remaining conscience made him decide to ask Jing Jianbai.

Jing Jianbai didn’t turn around and only replied calmly, “No, I’ll practice for a while more. You can go back first.”

It was too early for Jing Jianbai to go back at this time. Moreover, he still had a lot of inspiration and couldn’t leave.

Seeing this, Feng Duo didn’t say anything else. He patted his legs and stood up.

“Alright, I’ll go back first.”

“Remember to get your clothes,” Jing Jianbai reminded him.

Their team uniforms for tomorrow’s competition were all designed differently, so they had been distributed to everyone today to prevent any problems from happening at the last minute.

Feng Duo walked to the door and waved his hand in response. Got it.

With that, he disappeared behind the door.

Jing Jianbai didn’t care. After reminding him, he shifted his thoughts to the music score under his hand.

Feng Duo went to get the team uniform. After grabbing someone and asking for the address of the team uniforms, he went straight to the target location.

“You’re here to get the team uniform? Team A, right…?” The staff checked with Feng Duo.

Not long after, she took out the clothes that belonged to Feng Duo. Seeing that there was no problem with the serial number, she handed the bag of clothes to him.

The corners of Feng Duo’s mouth twitched impatiently, not hiding his disdain for this team uniform at all. However, considering the competition, he reluctantly accepted it and prepared to return to the dormitory.

“The team uniforms this time are so beautiful. The material feels good too. It s quite beautiful.”

“That’s right. Moreover, it seems like the production team hired someone to design it.”

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Feng Duo heard his roommates discussing.

However, he only felt that this team uniform was extremely ugly. Any clothes he took out from the changing room at home looked better than this.

Moreover, he liked to wear limited edition branded clothes. He was extremely annoyed to wear the same clothes as others.

The more his roommate sighed, the more annoyed Feng Duo became. He simply threw his team uniform onto the bed and took out his phone to play games without looking at it.

At night, the dormitory was especially lively.

Chen Chenghan was trying on his team uniform, and his roommates were chatting beside him.

Qiu Ze returned at this time.

“Qiu Ze, you’re back! Why did you come back so late today? Did you take the team uniform?” Her roommate greeted him very warmly.

Qiu Ze waved the bag in his hand. “I went out for a walk. I took the team uniform.”

It wouldn’t be accurate to say that he was taking a walk. He was actually helping to move the team uniform.

Thinking that the second selection was tomorrow, Qiu Ze directly contacted Jiang Yang and asked him to assign him to move the team uniforms. He took the opportunity to perform a sneaky trick.

“Jing Jianbai isn’t back yet?” Qiu Ze looked at the dormitory.

The roommate waved his hand. “It’s not like you don’t know him. He must still be practicing the piano.”

“Then the team uniform—” Qiu Ze frowned.” Did you remind him?

“…No,” Chen Chenghan replied.

They were all used to Jing Jianbai leaving early and returning late every day, so they really forgot about this matter.

The roommate volunteered. “I’ll go and help him bring it back.

The smile in Qiu Ze’s eyes deepened, and he nodded naturally.

Chen Chenghan looked at Qiu Ze hesitantly from the side and then at the roommate who had already left. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t explain it.

However, Chen Chenghan increasingly felt that he didn’t like Qiu Ze very much. When the second selection was held the next day, Murong Qiao also came to the filming venue.

She was a special guest and had to be present every time they filmed an episode. This time was no exception.

The makeup artist was still the same person from last time. She was an acquaintance now.

“I haven’t seen you in a few days, but why do I feel that your skin seems to have recovered a lot… Although it’s originally quite good.” The makeup artist sighed as she worked.

She usually had all kinds of skin to handle in her line of work, but when it came to Murong Qiao, she couldn’t help but say a few more words.

Murong Qiao asked, “Really?”

“Perhaps it’s not your skin that’s better. It’s just that I feel that you’re even happier than before.”

The makeup artist thought for a moment and simply found a more appropriate term. “It’s more like love. Your face is filled with the glow of spring.”

Hearing the makeup artist’s words, Murong Qiao immediately recalled the night of Valentine’s Day and the time at the cinema…

Her face was slightly red, but she didn’t speak.

Fortunately, the makeup artist didn’t think too much about it and changed the topic.

Because Murong Qiao’s skin was very good and her figure was good-looking, the makeup artist didn’t spend much effort on her face.

The original 40 minutes of makeup time only took 25 minutes.

“I’m going out to take a breather.” Murong Qiao stood up.

After a week, she really wanted to see if there were any new changes to those contestants.

However, Murong Qiao didn’t expect that when she came, he would coincidentally encounter Feng Duo and Jing Jianbai facing each other and the atmosphere was tense.

“…I just can’t think of anyone else besides you.” It was Jing Jianbai’s voice. However, other than the usual calmness, this time, there was a rare hint of anger and impulsiveness.

Feng Duo’s voice was both irritable and impatient. It was easy to recognize.

“How many times do you want me to say it wasn t me?

“If I wanted to kick you out of the competition, would I need to use this method?” He stood in front of Jing Jianbai with a cold face.

Jing Jianbai looked at Feng Duo and didn’t say anything, but his gaze was fixed on him, indicating what he was thinking.

A few more people came over, clearly watching the commotion.

Murong Qiao couldn’t understand what was going on. Relying on the fact that she was wearing a mask and hat, she pulled the person beside her and asked. “What happened here?”

Chen Chenghan was stunned for a moment and instinctively explained, “There seems to be something wrong with Jing Jianbai’s clothes. He can’t wear them—”

He had also come at the last minute. That was all he knew.

Murong Qiao frowned. Looking at Jing Jianbai’s much colder expression and hearing Feng Duo’s confrontational tone, thoughts appeared in her heart. “There’s still 30 minutes before Group A goes on stage… What are they going to do later?”

“I don’t know. The team uniforms are all different. Every team has their own design…”

“I’m afraid they’ll be eliminated.”

Many people at the side were whispering, but instead of worrying, they were gloating.

Jing Jianbai’s expression was also very ugly, but his clothes couldn’t be used. If he couldn’t go on stage later, he would be directly expelled from the competition.

How could he allow this to happen…

Feng Duo’s expression was not good either. He had never thought that such an accident would happen.

If he couldn’t go on stage, his father can’t help him if he can’t even give him a chance to vote. How could he advance like that?

The problem was not with Feng Duo, but he was no less frustrated than Jing Jianbai.

Murong Qiao’s thoughtful gaze swept across the two of them one by one. In the end, she narrowed her eyes and pushed out of the crowd. She found a quiet place and called Xu Zhuo..
