       After singing the song, Wen Jianing returned to his original position, and then Shen Youzong, who accepted his challenge, began to sing.        Generally speaking, this round was a very interesting one. It depended on the choice of the players and the underlying tension growing among the players. But the only unforeseen hiccups that surprised Wen Jianing happened to Lin Qingyu, who ranked third in popularity.        Lin Qingyu did not choose a less popular opponent as ordered by the talent agency company, but she chose Wen Lin instead.        Wen Lin did not appear surprised and calmly responded to the challenge.        In fact, Wen Jianing thought that Lin Qingyu and Wen Lin are the same kinds of people. They were the ones who could be called musicians. They loved music, could compose a song and liked to sing their own songs with a guitar. Ke Xinhang should also be these kinds of people. It was a pity that Ke Xinhang was a little less talented than Wen Lin.        Yi Nan could only be called a singer. He could sing, but he didn’t necessarily have much enthusiasm for music.        It was no surprise that Lin Qingyu chose Wen Lin. She decided to act according to her will on this stage and chose Wen Lin because she recognized his strength.        Not to say that he approved of Lin Qingyu’s behaviour, but at least Wen Jianing admired her courage.        Because it was a live broadcast, after all five groups of players finished the match, the program began to broadcast commercials.        It was inevitable that the judges would have to exchange their views.        Wen Jianing relaxed and cracked his neck.        Wen Lin, who stood next to him asked, “Are you nervous?”        Wen Jianing turned his head and said, “I should be asking that to you.”        Wen Lin smiled, “Not nervous. I have nothing to say if I lose to Lin Qingyu.”        Wen Jianing could not help laughing when he said that.        Wen Lin asked him what he was laughing at.        He shook his head, and just revelled in Wen Lin’s words. He thought that if Wen Lin had lost to him, he would probably be very unwilling.        After the advertisement, the camera switched back. After a long opening speech, the host solemnly said, “Next, our judges will announce the results of the challenge in the order of the competition. First of all, let’s welcome Coach Wang Mei—the judge of the first round, to announce her results!”        Wang Mei sat up straight and began to comment on Yi Nan and You Hao’s performance according to the records in a small notebook in front of her.        Yi Nan and You Hao stood in the middle of the stage. No matter what Wang Mei said, You Hao was expressionless. He probably knew that he could not escape the result of being eliminated.        Sure enough, Wang Mei subsequently announced the result of her decision, and she chose to let Yi Nan stay.        Yi Nan bowed to Wang Mei excitedly, and then waved to the direction of the audience.        You Hao’s expression hasn’t changed from beginning to end. Maybe in addition to losing the game, You Hao was more angry about being betrayed by his friend. Wen Jianing looked at him, and was a little afraid that he would burst out at any time, but he didn’t. Even when Yi Nan came to hug him, he still could raise his arm and hug Yi Nan and said, “Good luck.”        Next, it was Wen Jianing and Shen Youzong’s turn. Even if this group was not as tight in strength and popularity compared to the first group, this group was still a little suspenseful.        Even Shen Youzong felt that he didn’t sing too good just now. If it was really based on his strength, he should not be eliminated.        Lu Jinlang had shown his favourable treatment for Ke Xinhang, but Shen Youzong has also received Lu Jinlang’s “good” evaluation. He feels that he should have more confidence in himself.        Holding the microphone, Lu Jinlang didn’t give a long speech, and he just said, “I choose Ke Xinhang.”        Wen Jianing slowly exhaled. He was actually very nervous just now, because he really didn’t have much confidence in this round. While breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn’t help but feel a little bit of joy.  No matter what recognition Lu Jinlang expressed for him, at this time, Wen Jianing would rather think that it was something worth his happiness.        But that little joy did not show on his face, Wen Jianing just chose to bend down and bow.        Shen Youzong smiled bitterly. He might have some regrets and some unwillingness, but he felt there was nothing more to be done.        The host said, “Can Mr. Lu tell us the reason for making this choice?” He didn’t expect Lu Jinlang to comment more. So the host thought about how to continue the topic and to not sound too cold.        But Lu Jinlang said slowly this time, “At first when the chief director of the program invited me to be the program’s judge, I rejected him. Because I told him that I can’t sing, and I can’t understand who sings better than anyone else. And it will make the program appear to not be professional enough.”        Wen Jianing remembered that when he first knew that Lu Jinlang was a judge, he thought so too.        Lu Jinlang continued, “At that time, the chief director told me that I don’t need to be able to sing, I just need to listen to songs. This program is called Sing to Soul. Whether you sing well or not, depends on your soul. Everyone has aesthetic ability, even if it is a kid who has never learned songs and has no skills, as long as you think he sings well, he is good. So since I sit on the judges’ bench, I have only one requirement for all the contestants, and that’s to impress me. Don’t feel unfair, because you may not sing badly, but it’s just not enough to impress me.”        After Lu Jinlang finished speaking, the host immediately went and said, “So sometimes it is difficult to grasp the point that touches people’s hearts. And the beauty of music is that it can choose a simple and direct way to move you. Maybe this is what we really want to get through singing.”        After that, the host asked Shen Youzong to briefly say a few thoughts. The winning Wen Jianing was not interviewed because he still had the next round. After that, he went back to his original position.        In the third group, Lin Qingyu, who took the initiative to challenge, lost to Wen Lin, who accepted her challenge.        Lin Qingyu was very calm when she heard Coach An Yongkang announce the results. When interviewed, she also said that she had accepted her loss.        The next two groups were suspenseful to the end because there was little difference in strength and popularity.        Anyway, some people were happy and others were sad. Because they had been together for so long, it was not easy for those who were happy to be too happy, and those who were sad also have to force a smile to cheer for those who remain.        As soon as the round was over, he immediately received a notice when he returned to the backstage dressing room. The talent agent company arranged dinner for everyone to eat together.        Wen Jianing takes a look at the time. At this time, it was probably just a late night snack.        The top ten were now all signed singers of Lei Xing. Although they had been eliminated, no one could tell which one laughs last. Throughout time, the champion may not be the one with the best development.        So at the end of the game, those who were eliminated or staying in the game were all arranged to have this meal together. In addition, the company also hosted a banquet for four judges and senior executives from Starlight, as well as the main creators of the show.        The meal was a standard Chinese meal. In the medium-sized private room of a large restaurant, two large tables with a capacity of 20 people were placed.        Wen Jianing and his group came first. After entering the private room, they all consciously sat down at a table at the outer part.        A moment later, Wu Dongqin, assistant to the general manager of Lei Xing, came in with the four judges and a director of the TV station, along with the producer and director of the competition program.        There are also some other staff from Lei Xing and the TV station’s program group. After they came in, Wu Dongqin politely greeted them and asked everyone to take their seats.        As they were about to sit down, Wu Dongqin suddenly came over and asked Yi Nan and Wen Jianing to sit at the table inside.        Yi Nan readily accepted.        Wen Jianing hesitated for a moment, and then got up and went to the table inside.        Wu Dongqin looked at both sides and saw that there was still room at the inner table. He called Wen Lin and Lin Qingyu over again. Then he returned to his position and sat down.        Wu Dongqin stood up and first expressed the greetings of the boss of Lei Xing company, saying that the other person was not in the country and could not be here in person and asked for their understanding. After that, he said that everyone has worked hard, and since this round was over, they were welcomed to have a good meal.        When Wu Dongqin was speaking, Wen Jianing noticed that Lu Jinlang was casually wiping his hands with a hot towel. This kind of luxurious meal was obviously meaningless to him, but on this occasion, he still attended and did not embarrass the Lei Xing company and TV station.        After that, they began to serve food and wine.        He watched the waiter fill the glass in front of him with Baijiu*. Wen Jianing took a deep breath, knowing that it would be unavoidable to socialize on this occasion tonight.        It was true that he has to drink. But he gave himself the limit, that was, he must not get drunk to the point of unconsciousness, and in any case, he must maintain the last bit of soberness.        Wen Lin, who was sitting next to Wen Jianing, couldn’t help but frown slightly when he saw a glass full of Baijiu in front of him.        Upon seeing this, Wen Jianing patted his arm without saying anything.        Since his debut, he had joined a lot of these kinds of meals. In the beginning, he drank himself to the point of unconsciousness. Later, he could sit in his seat and watch others drink, and then even he could refuse to participate in the meaningless meal. He was then able to slowly quit drinking, and maintain his body. He finally reached that point after working so hard little by little.        However, now, after so many years of hard work, he had been beaten back to the drinking ritual again. Even if he knows that this was harming his body, he still couldn’t help it.        Wen Jianing picked up the wine glass, and politely rejected some toast, and even helped Wen Lin block some wine.        At the end of a meal, he saw that Yi Nan had begun to talk nonsense to Wang Mei excitedly, while Lin Qingyu was unexpectedly brazen and drunk. Up until now, Wen Jianing was still sitting in his seat refreshingly and warmly and spoke to Wen Lin in a low voice.        Wu Dongqin was still encouraging Wen Jianing to drink more.        Wen Jianing’s mind had begun to be blurred. He felt that he was approaching the limit. So he simply fell forward, lying on the table and pretending to be unconscious.        So after a short while, the banquet ended.        Most of the contestants in the competition were drunk and were sent away first by the staff of companies and television stations who did not drink. Several famous judges also stood up and left one after another, and someone quickly followed and escorted them out.        At this time, Lu Jinlang suddenly walked behind Wen Jianing and said to Wu Dongqin, “I will send Ke Xinhang back.”        Wu Dongqin didn’t pause at all when he heard the words. He nodded and smiled, “Oh dear, if it’s not too much trouble for you, Mr. Lu, then I will leave xiao Ke to you.”        Wen Jianing heard their conversation and immediately wanted to sit up.        Lu Jinlang had reached out to help him and said in a low voice in his ear, “If you want to pretend to be drunk, act like it.”        Wen Jianing suddenly stiffened and didn’t move anymore.        Just as Lu Jinlang helped him up, Lu Yunan had already come over. He took Wen Jianing from Lu Jinlang to help carry him, and walked out of the private room with Lu Jinlang.

       For the next round of the challenge, what the TV station publicised was: to choose an opponent, choose a judge, challenge the opponent, and defeat them by yourself.

       The director explained the rules in detail to ten contestants, that was, one player would choose an opponent from the remaining players in the order, and then the player would also choose a judge to be the judge for this two-person match.

       One of these two people would be eliminated, and the elimination decision was made entirely by the judges chosen by the players.

       Because there were a total of ten players, it means that only five people had the right to choose, and the other five could only accept the challenge if they were selected. Therefore, the player who chose first had the advantage, the key to this game was the order of challenge.

       How was the order of the challenges determined? It was very simple. They just have to look at the popularity of the contestants among the audience. After they announced the challenge rules, the TV station would open the SMS voting channel and count the popularity of contestants through paid SMS. One phone number could only vote once, and they would refuse to count more than one vote from the same number. The one with the highest popularity would get the first turn to choose in the challenge round.

       Judging from the current popularity of this program in the country, it would cost them so much money to buy votes for themselves, so this rule was relatively fair.

       After he heard the announcement of the contest rules, Wen Jianing subconsciously took a look at Yi Nan, who happened to be looking at him.

       Although Wen Jianing had never registered a Weibo account for Ke Xinhang, he also searched the internet for related news about him from time to time. He knew that Ke Xinhang’s popularity was also quite high now, perhaps only slightly less than Yi Nan.

       If Yi Nan came first in the voting, he didn’t know if Yi Nan will challenge himself immediately. It would be troublesome if that happened because he knew Yi Nan won’t be eliminated.

       Yi Nan didn’t know that he would be reprimanded by the top management of Lei Xing after the last ballot drawing incident was broadcasted. Now he had begun to learn to control his expression in front of the camera. He just looked at Wen Jianing and turned his head without expressing any thoughts.

       In addition to Wen Jianing and Yi Nan, there were two other popular contestants, Wen Lin and a girl named Lin Qingyu. That was to say, these people would probably occupy the top four in the voting rankings.

       But Wen Jianing didn’t expect that on the day after the rules were announced, the people of Lei Xing company talked to him in private and proposed not to challenge Yi Nan, Wen Lin and Lin Qingyu in this challenge.

       Wen Jianing immediately understood what they meant. The TV station wanted to fight for ratings and create conflicts in the program to attract viewers, but he was reluctant to really eliminate popular players because there were still two games in the future. If several popular players were eliminated and Yi Nan was left alone, the program will have little to watch.

       However, this free challenge model was doomed to have risks. In order to avoid risks, the program group and the talent agent company had to take this approach. The other party’s negotiation skills were very exceptional. What they told Wen Jianing was that they didn’t want him to challenge Yi Nan and several of their popular players. The reason was that Lei Xing valued ​​Wen Jianing very much, and hoped that he would be able to advance until the end, so the company could invest more in him in the future. Although they believed that he had the strength to compete with other players, they still hope that he could choose a more secure way.

       Wen Jianing had worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years and he fully understands Lei Xing’s plan. He was not surprised, fighting Yi Nan was the same as fighting to his own death. To tell the truth, he was more worried that Yi Nan deliberately came to him for trouble.

       So Wen Jianing agreed to the company’s request without hesitation.

       But even so, when facing the other six players, Wen Jianing felt that he had no confidence at all, because if he talked about singing skills alone, probably no one would lose to him.

       He could only look forward to God’s blessing.

       In the conversation with the talent agent company today, Wen Jianing believed that the same would happen to Yi Nan and the others. But it was not clear whether everyone was as obedient as he was.

       During the period before the official competition, the program group repeatedly broadcasted the voting status on the Internet and TV every day, with the purpose of urging fans who had not yet voted to vote as soon as possible.

       Wen Jianing also paid close attention to it every day and found that he always stays in second place. The first place was Yi Nan, the third place was Lin Qingyu, and the fourth place was Wen Lin.

       Although his votes were getting closer to Yi Nan’s the later he got, he was unable to make a comeback in the end.

       On the day of the official competition, Wen Jianing sat in front of the makeup mirror and the makeup artist of the TV station was applying makeup to him. Yi Nan suddenly walked behind him and sized him up with his arms crossed.

       There were fewer and fewer players left in the dressing room. Compared with the liveliness in the early period, it looked a bit deserted. Almost everyone else would notice when someone walks around or talks.

       Just like now, while Yi Nan was staring at Wen Jianing, others were secretly staring at Yi Nan.

       Wen Jianing glanced at Yi Nan. The makeup artist that was drawing his eyeliner said unhappily, “Don’t move.” So Wen Jianing obeyed and stopped moving.

       Yi Nan looked at him for a moment, came forward, put a hand on his shoulder and said, “Be prepared later.”

       The whole dressing room was quiet for a moment, and the only sound that could be heard was the buzzing sound of the hairdryer in the hands of a stylist who was blowing the contestants’ hair.

       Wen Jianing, of course, ignored him.

       Sitting next to Wen Jianing was a male player named You Hao. He usually walked very close to Yi Nan. At this time, he smiled and raised his thumb to Yi Nan.

      Yi Nan smiled and hi-fived him.

       Wen Jianing looked at Yi Nan’s childish behaviour and suddenly felt that if Yi Nan went on the stage and challenged him, he didn’t know if he would probably admire him or not.

       Today’s competition was broadcasted live, and so were the next few rounds. Two hours before the start of the competition, the SMS voting channel was closed.

       After the opening performance was over, the first thing the host did was announce the result of the vote.

       In fact, there was actually nothing suspenseful, because one hour before the end of the voting, Yi Nan was still the first and Ke Xinhang was the second.

       Yi Nan was the first to be invited to the stage. The host asked him to say the name of the opponent he wanted to challenge.

       The atmosphere was very tense for a while. This tension mainly comes from the contestants on the stage, because no one wanted to be Yi Nan’s opponent.

       Wen Jianing felt that Wen Lin who was next to him was looking at him.

       He turned his head and smiled at Wen Lin.

       Then Yi Nan announced his opponent for the challenge. Instead of choosing Ke Xinhang, he chose You Hao.

       The camera zoomed onto You Hao’s face. He was smiling before, but at this moment, he couldn’t even maintain a forced smile, and his expression turned desolated all of a sudden.

       The expression was so wonderful that it was even replayed on the big screen.

       The host invited You Hao to the middle of the stage and asked him what he had to say.

       You Hao felt a little emotional, he said, “A brothers, there’s nothing I can say.”

       The host smiled and started the round.

       Actually, the reason Yi Nan chose You Hao was for the simplest reason that You Hao was relatively weak among the remaining people. He was a friend when they laugh and joke together. Once the key interests were involved, a friend means nothing.

       Wen Jianing suddenly sighed, he had worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years and had many friends, but there were not many of them who are real friends.

       Then Yi Nan chose Wang Mei, who had always liked him, as the judge of the match, and so the two-person match officially began. However, the results of the game would not be announced immediately. The program team must keep the suspense until the end of the game, and it was said that even several rounds of advertisements would be inserted in between.

       The game between Yi Nan and You Hao ended, and it was Wen Jianing’s turn to choose.

       Wen Jianing’s choice was very ordinary, he chose a male player named Shen Youzong as his opponent. The selected Shen Youzong took a deep breath and even showed some relaxed expressions for a moment. Perhaps compared to Yi Nan and Wen Lin, he felt that he had a better chance of winning against Wen Jianing.

       He thought that as long as you do your best, nothing is impossible!

       Shen Youzong clenched his fist and stepped onto the stage.

       After a brief interview with the host, Wen Jianing was asked to choose his judges.

       Wen Jianing chose Lu Jinlang to live up to everyone’s expectations.

       Of course, at this time, there would be some viewers who didn’t like him and booing in front of the TV.

       The host thought it was a topic worthy to speculate on. He asked Wen Jianing, “Xinhang, can you ask why you chose Mr. Lu Jinlang as your referee?”

       Wen Jianing replied, “Should I not choose a judge who knows how to appreciate me?”

       The host smiled and said, “So it’s to guarantee your success?”

       Wen Jianing said, “There is no sure guarantee, but only to give my best.”

       The host again asked them to express their determination, and then the official competition began.

       The lights of the judges went out, only a beam of light shone at Lu Jinlang’s spot, and at the same time, a beam of light shone on Wen Jianing’s body on the stage.

       This was a game that was completely determined by the judges, so the only purpose was to impress the judge you choose.

       Wen Jianing chose a lyrical slow song. As the music played, his body swayed gently, but his eyes were firmly locked on Lu Jinlang.

       That song was for lovers to tell their hearts. The melody was a little monotonous, that was, to express their love over and over again, telling it over and over again, which made the people who listen drunk in the words.

       Wen Jianing also had no choice. He couldn’t fight other people with his singing skills, so he simply returned to the basics and impressed the judges with the most primitive emotions.

       Lu Jinlang propped his face with one hand. His posture seemed a little idle, but his eyes didn’t move away from Wen Jianing’s face.

       The director looked at the expressions of the two people looking at each other, and simply let the two scenes be broadcasted at the same time, showing close-ups of the two people respectively.

       The last line of Wen Jianing’s song was “I still love you, do you love me?” He finished singing in a very soft tone, and slowly moved the microphone away from his lips, while still watching Lu Jinlang.

       Lu Jinlang turned away at this time, picked up his pen and wrote something in the notebook in front of him.

       Xu Rujing glanced sideways and saw that Lu Jinlang had just drawn a circle on a blank notebook and then blacked out the middle of the circle.

      The meal was a bit torturous for Wen Jianing, and he only hoped it would end quickly.        But he didn’t expect that in the middle of the meal, the person in the private room next door came and knocked on the door. The person turned out to be Fang Wei, the director of ‘October Fireworks’, and he was eating in the same restaurant.        Wen Jianing had mixed feelings when he saw Fang Wei.        Fang Wei obviously didn’t notice him. He sat down and talked with Lu Jinlang and An Yongkang. Later, the topic of the upcoming ‘October Fireworks’ filming came.        Wen Jianing sat aside and listened to them silently.        Suddenly, Lu Jinlang said to Wen Jianing, “You have to also offer a toast to Director Fang too.”        Wen Jianing was taken aback, took the wine glass and said to the other side, “Director Fang, I toast for you.”        Fang Wei looked at Wen Jianing, although he didn’t think he was a figure worthy of attention, on the surface, he still maintained a kind and polite manner.        Lu Jinlang said, “I think you might have more future in acting than singing.”        This statement was made to Wen Jianing, but it was more like it was said to Fang Wei.        Sure enough, Fang Wei asked, “This young man has good acting skills?”        Lu Jinlang said, “If Director Fang has a project, you can give him a try.”        Lu Jinlang’s words were purely to build a bridge for Wen Jianing. Wen Jianing didn’t know what to feel when he heard it.  He glanced at Lu Jinlang, but Lu Jinlang was not looking at him, and his expression was calm. Wen Jianing didn’t even know what he was thinking.        After drinking with Fang Wei, Lu Jinlang asked him to go next door for a drink. Even if Wen Jianing told him to hold on, Lu Jinlang was somehow not paying attention. The few unspoken gratitude to Lu Jinlang were now all turned into unspoken complaints.        Wen Jianing stared at a table of dishes and began to be dazed.        An Yongkang checked the time and stood up and said goodbye.        Wen Jianing looked at An Yongkang and knew that he was going to leave, but his brain reaction was slow for a few beats, and he didn’t know how to react.        Before An Yongkang left, he patted Wen Jianing on the shoulder and said, “Develop well.” Then he said to Lu Jinlang, “Good night!”        Lu Jinlang waved his hand, didn’t get up to see him off, but nudged Wen Jianing, “Let’s go back.”        Wen Jianing looked at him and nodded, but his body did not move.        Lu Jinlang asked him, “Can you stand up?”        Wen Jianing nodded again and stood up by himself.        He followed Lu Jinlang out and still got in Lu Jinlang’s nanny car. The air conditioner was turned on in the car. On the contrary, Wen Jianing felt more and more uncomfortable because the car was closed tightly.        His head was a little empty, but he firmly remembered one thing, that was, never let anyone see his body.        So when Lu Jinlang saw that he was uncomfortable, he reached out to open the refrigerator to pour him a glass of ice water, but accidentally touched his thigh, he suddenly shouted nervously, “Don’t touch me!”        He shouted loudly, and his tone was full of panic. Even Lu Yunan who was driving could not help but turn his head slightly.         Lu Jinlang looked at him, and seemed to think it was a little funny, “I think you have misunderstood something.”        Wen Jianing heard what he said, but he couldn’t comprehend his words properly. He tried to move away from him and pull his legs together, thinking that with that no one could touch him.        Lu Jinlang said, “I am interested in you, but I will neither force you nor do anything to you while you are drunk. You don’t have to be so nervous.”        Wen Jianing shook his head. He didn’t understand what Lu Jinlang was saying.        Lu Jinlang looked at his defensive posture and said, “You are too nervous. Relax a little, where do you live? I will send you back first.”        Wen Jianing understood this time, he said, “My home? Beiao Garden—No, my home is on Jinyang Street.”        “Beiao Garden?” Lu Jinlang noticed the place he was talking about. Although Lu Jinlang did not live there, he knew that Beiao Garden was an upscale garden villa complex in the city, where many celebrities and wealthy people lived.        Wen Jianing had no way to pay attention to his slip of the tongue. He stretched out his hand to cover his head and groaned uncomfortably.        Lu Jinlang asked the driver to drive him to the residential area where Wen Jianing was now renting. The car stopped at the door of the residential area. Lu Jinlang opened the door and let him get off.        When he got off, Wen Jianing still remembered to thank Lu Jinlang properly. He bowed and said, “Thank you, Mr. Lu.” But he didn’t remember how frantically he refused Lu Jinlang in his car just now.        Lu Jinlang didn’t say anything. He closed the door and asked Lu Yunan to drive immediately.        Lu Yunan couldn’t help but whisper, “Mr. Lu?” He felt that Lu Jinlang was probably a little unhappy.        Lu Jinlang said, “It’s alright, no need to say anything.”        So Lu Yunan didn’t speak anymore. He was a very quiet and calm person. He had followed Lu Jinlang for many years, and he had followed him since his debut.        Lu Jinlang’s private life was actually very clean. It’s been a long time since he showed an obvious interest in a person like this.        Wen Jianing returned to Ke Xinhang’s small rental house. He felt that he was really safe when he finally closed the door, and he could no longer hold on and fell down on the bed.        He felt really depressed, and the things weighing on his heart were driving him crazy. He suddenly knelt on the bed and began to pull his clothes and trousers. He stripped himself completely in one breath. After leaving nothing, he fell asleep on the bed contentedly.        When he woke up the next morning, Wen Jianing rubbed his aching forehead.        He looked up and saw his clothes scattered on the ground. Then he looked at his body and thought he might be have gone crazy.        Luckily he hadn’t forgotten to close the curtains.        Wen Jianing took out a clean change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. While taking a shower, he remembered that he seemed to have offended Lu Jinlang in his car. He hammered the glass in the shower room with some annoyance and let out a long sigh.       However, he didn’t have so much time to be annoyed. The rehearsal would officially start this morning, and he had to rearrange the selected songs. Even if he got Yi Nan’s death-free gold medal, he didn’t dare to fool around for the audience was not a fool.        He hasn’t seen Lu Jinlang for more than a week, and the song he sang with Yi Nan unexpectedly worked well.        After the modification, the chorus part was simply changed into two voice parts. Wen Jianing’s clear voice matched Yi Nan’s low and slightly hoarse voice, and the harmony part turned out to be extraordinarily flavorful.        But Yi Nan didn’t cooperate anyway. During the rehearsal part of the stage performance, the rehearsal teacher simply let them stand beside one another without making eye contact at all.        Yi Nan sang in front of the microphone stand all the way on the stage, while Wen Jianing moved around. The chorus part was on the part where he sat on a swing and the light came down to create a soft atmosphere.        Wen Jianing was not nervous at all because he knew the result of this game in advance, but on the day of the official recording, his performance could almost be described as stunning.        At the end of the performance of their group, Xu Rujing praised him when commenting, “Ke Xinhang, your performance today is even more eye-catching than Yi Nan. This song is modified to suit your voice and the result is really good.”        It is the first time that Xu Rujing has said so much to praise him. Even if he was not serious about the outcome, Wen Jianing can’t help smiling and nodding in thanks.        After the performance, Wen Jianing went back to the backstage area and waited.        Actually, there was a bathroom behind the dressing room, but Wen Jianing never went there. Even if he came down from the stage with sweat, he would only go into the dressing room to change his clothes instead of taking a bath.        He didn’t even know the structure of the bathroom.        At this time, they have to wait for the result, and they would be on stage again later. Everyone was both excited and nervous. Of course, some feel depressed because of their poor performance.        Wen Jianing heard that Yi Nan was talking to others excitedly, and he was obviously satisfied with the performance just now.        Yi Nan was talking to a young female contestant. She said, “I’m very nervous. What should I do?”        Yi Nan quickly said, “I am also very nervous, but it doesn’t matter, you should have confidence in yourself.”        Wen Jianing couldn’t help but laugh and thought: Of course you would have confidence in yourself.        This day was also the first time Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang since the filming of the program’s promotional video.        Lu Jinlang’s attitude towards Wen Jianing was never written on his face, and Wen Jianing didn’t know if he still cares about what happened that day. That day, Lu Jinlang made it clear that he was interested in him.        Wen Jianing had been speculating before about the fact that Lu Jinlang might be interested in him, so he was not surprised that he finally heard him say it that day.        He himself was a person who has been in this circle. He understood that Lu Jinlang’s interest might mean “I have a crush on you”, “I want to sleep with you”, or “I like you very much”, but it would never be understood as “I’m in love with you”.        In fact, the answer was very simple. No matter what Lu Jinlang’s desire was, Wen Jianing would absolutely never agree. Because of his body’s condition, he rejected all possibilities.        Right now, Wen Jianing could still occasionally think about it optimistically. But if Lu Jinlang really saw his body, he might be frightened and so he dismissed the idea immediately.        Before, Wen Jianing was still hesitating whether to apologize or not to Lu Jinlang after the recording was over, but after he thought about it in the backstage area, he thought it might be better not to go so Lu Jinlang would not misunderstand him.        Later, at the end of the competition, all the players came on stage to hear the announcement of who advanced to the next round.        Of course, Wen Jianing and Yi Nan won’t be eliminated, and they even won first place eye-catchingly.        After announcing the results of the competition and sending the eliminated five groups off the stage, the host announced that the mode of the next competition will be a challenge.        As for the specific events of the challenge, the audience has to wait and see.

       After the tidbits of the draw were broadcasted on TV, Yi Nan was attacked by netizens who liked Ke Xinhang, and Yi Nan’s fans stepped in to defend Yi Nan, which immediately caused a fan war.

       Of course, Yi Nan and Wen Jianing who was at the center of this storm would not be ignorant. When they were alone, they could not avoid being awkward to one another, and it was mainly caused by Yi Nan’s incomprehensible hostility towards Wen Jianing.

       Yi Nan’s hostility had become more and more severe following the quarrel on the internet.

       The two of them had to choose a song to sing together, and the instructor suggested that they choose a love song duet performed by a man and a woman.

       Yi Nan immediately said, “I hate it, that sounds disgusting.”

       Wen Jianing said nothing.

       But the teacher didn’t seem pleased because of the rude retort.

       Because Yi Nan didn’t cooperate, several ideas were rejected in succession. According to Yi Nan’s idea, he should sing solo, and Wen Jianing would just give him the harmony.

       Yi Nan even said that this would prevent them from being eliminated. Otherwise, with Wen Jianing’s level, he might also be dragged down.

       The instructor became unhappy and said, “Whatever you like,” then he turned and left.

       With only the two of them remaining, Yi Nan and Wen Jianing were not able to reach any consensus, so they naturally parted unhappily.

       When he went back to the dressing room, Wen Jianing suddenly wanted to give up. He thought that if he gave up and pulled Yi Nan down along the way, it would be worth giving up. However, he soon denied this idea, and felt that it was meaningless to compete with Yi Nan. With Yi Nan’s personality, even if he won the championship this time, it would be difficult for him to smoothly mix in the entertainment industry in the future.

       Before he packed his things and left, Wen Jianing wanted to go to the instructor again to discuss the next arrangements. He carried his bag and walked to coach  Zou Tong’s waiting room. When he wanted to knock on the door, he noticed that the door was not completely closed, and there was a sound of two people talking coming from inside.

       One of them was saying, “Mr. Zou, that kid Yi Nan is not sensible, so you should endure it a little bit more.”

       Zou Tong’s tone was not very friendly. “How can I bear it? He just said: I’m not satisfied, to everything that I said. “

       The other person said, “He has this temperament, but we can’t help it. You know it too, this year’s champion can only be him.”

       Zou Tong did not speak.

       The person said, “Lei Xing and Starlight have already agreed when they cooperated that Yi Nan is the champion of this year. He’s a bit of a prick, but he also has the talent.”

       Zou Tong said, “He asked to sing solo, and Ke Xinhang should just give him harmony. Do you think it is possible for them to advance to the competition like this?”

       The other person sighed, “I’ll find someone to tell him, Coach Zou, don’t be angry anymore.”

       Zou Tong said, “Go ahead. I don’t care what you say if you can persuade him.”

       When Wen Jianing heard this, he quietly turned and left. A moment later, he ran into Wu Dongqin in the corridor around the corner. Wu Dongqin was an assistant to the general manager of Lei Xing. Wen Jianing had met him when he signed a contract with Lei Xing.

       Wu Dongqin nodded to Wen Jianing and left. The direction he came from was from Zou Tong’s lounge just now.

       Wen Jianing stood there for a while, and didn’t plan to go to Zou Tong anymore. He now knew that he had drawn a jackpot. Even if he lay down on stage to sing, he would definitely not be eliminated in this show.

       Two days later, the “Sing to Soul” program shot a set of the latest promotional videos. This time the top 20 and the four judges would participate in the shooting.

      The entire shoot was done in simple and bright tones. Everyone’s clothes were white. The male players were in white shirts and loose slacks, and the female players were in white short dresses.

       Each of the ten groups had a separate shot.

       Speaking of which, Wen Jianing’s group was the most eye-catching group. Because the director of the filming seemed to have a bad temper, Yi Nan didn’t feel like creating any problems and fulfilled the director’s requirements seriously.

       The shot of the two of them was one sitting on a high place playing the piano, the other watering the flowers, and then smiling at each other.

       Wen Jianing’s shots were all taken once, and the director couldn’t help but praise him for his acting talent.

       When all the shots of the contestants were over, and after waiting in the studio for some time, several judges came over.

       In the face of these big-name judges, the director’s irritable temper has been reduced a lot. When filming, as Wen Jianing expected, Yi Nan stood in a very good position, behind Wang Mei and Xu Rujing. His own position was not too strategic, and An Yongkang was in front of him.

       This photogenic shot of all the members was repeated several times. Several judges stood in the front and needed all the players behind to jump up and make a gesture full of joy and expectation.

       Later, in the process of jumping up, he didn’t know who was behind him and hit Wen Jianing, who accidentally hit An Yongkang’s face with his elbow.

       An Yongkang was wearing glasses, but the glasses were knocked off by him.

       Wen Jianing immediately helped him pick up the glasses, and then apologized to him.

       But An Yongkang’s face still looked upset.

       After the shooting, Lu Jinlang suddenly walked to Wen Jianing and patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Wait for me when you are done.”

       Wen Jianing was stunned. He couldn’t refuse and nodded.

       After chatting with Zou Tong in the afternoon, they finally decided to sing a male song. The main reason why it was chosen was that Yi Nan was good at singing this kind of song, although it was not so easy to sing with Wen Jianing’s voice.

       Zou Tong said to Wen Jianing, “Rearrange it, raise the tone for your part, and alter it well. You can think about it when you go back.”

       Wen Jianing nodded and planned to go to the bar to find his bandmates for help.　

       But he still didn’t dare to leave when things were over, because he promised to wait for Lu Jinlang after he was finished. He didn’t know when Lu Jinlang’s work was over. Perhaps Lu Jinlang had forgotten about him and he had left by himself.

       Nevertheless, he still planned to wait here a little longer. If Lu Jinlang didn’t call him after the TV station was off work, it was still not too late for him to leave.

       After a while, Wen Jianing received a call from Lu Jinlang’s assistant, Lu Yunan, and asked him to go directly to the underground parking lot to find a nanny car with a license plate tail number 357.

       Wen Jianing knew that the car was Lu Jinlang. He had seen it more than once on the set before.

       Sure enough, as soon as he opened the door, Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang sitting inside and said to him, “Get in.”

       The driver was Lu Yunan, and Lu Jinlang was the only one in the car except him.

       Wen Jianing didn’t understand what Lu Jinlang meant, and he wasn’t even deliberately pretending to be alerted. He asked carefully, “Is there anything wrong Mr. Lu?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Let’s have dinner together.”

       Wen Jianing took a deep breath, he suddenly thought of something, and he didn’t dare to sit down with him. Based on the Lu Jinlang he had known in the past, he had never imagined that Lu Jinlang would be such a person.

       Of course, it was not that there was something wrong with Lu Jinlang doing this kind of thing, but the Lu Jinlang he imagined was always more upright.

       The place to eat was a fancy restaurant.

       Before they got off the car, Lu Jinlang handed him a pair of sunglasses. He took them and put them on his face. Unexpectedly, Lu Jinlang didn’t wear anything, and he got out of the car and walked directly to the private room of the restaurant.

       After Lu Jinlang entered the private room, Wen Jianing discovered that besides the two of them, there was An Yongkang.

       Although Wen Jianing was not familiar with An Yongkang in the past, he has heard some news that An Yongkang’s personality was very ungenerous and spiteful.

       What happened today was purely an accident, and he didn’t hurt him, but it made An Yongkang lost his face.

       Wen Jianing suddenly understood that Lu Jinlang was creating an opportunity for him to make amends.

       On the surface, An Yongkang appeared to not mind, but his stares at Wen Jianing were really not very friendly.

       After Lu Jinlang beckoned him to sit down, he personally stood up and took the wine bottle, and helped An Yongkang pour a glass of wine. After pouring the wine, Wen Jianing picked up the wine glass and said, “Coach An, I’m really sorry today. I offended you. I’m here to toast you a glass. I hope you adults don’t think much of this vile me.”

       An Yongkang looked at him indifferently, picked up his glass and clinked the glass with his.

       Wen Jianing drank his wine and sat back in his seat. He felt that it was really hard to deal with people like An Yongkang.*

       At this time, Lu Jinlang picked up his wine glass and said to An Yongkang, “Let me propose a toast to you for him. Children are not sensible, and there will be a direct lesson in the future, so there is no need to be angry with him.”

       An Yongkang’s complexion changed when he faced Lu Jinlang. He took his wine glass and said, “What is this, do you think I’m angry about this trivial thing?”

       After drinking the wine, An Yongkang put down the glass and said, “I am a little curious. Jin Lang, you really like Xiao** Ke.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled, and said, “This young man is enthusiastic, he reminds me when I was young, and I wanted to give him a hand.”

       An Yongkang obviously didn’t believe it all. He smiled vaguely, and then said to Wen Jianing, “Look at Coach Lu’s support for you. Why don’t you have more drinks with your Coach Lu.”

       Wen Jianing suddenly became a little angry. In fact, he was quite familiar with this kind of occasion. People like him appearing here are equivalent to being a drinking companion***. Everyone instructed him to drink, and he had no way to refuse.

       When he picked up the wine glass again, Wen Jianing said to himself, “Remember, you must not get drunk. You still have secrets you can’t let others know!”

       After he finished prepping his mind properly, Wen Jianing raised his glass to Lu Jinlang with a smile. “I always remember Coach Lu’s care in my mind. Thank you very much. I’ll drink first.”

The author has something to say:

I think my setting has been misunderstood. Regarding xiao shou’s body, it is not so it’ll be known by everyone in the future to later insult him. But to carry out “the following indescribable insult” after being known by xiao gong****. But since I can’t describe it, I can only brainstorm it…

---

*In China, you are expected to offer a toast to apologize on your mistakes, and if the other person is not drinking the wine that you toast, you are considered as not being forgiven. That is why Wen Jianing think An Yongkang is difficult to handle to due not wanting to accept his apology.
** xiao = little, it’s like saying Lil’ Ke
***drinking companion = bar girl
**** xiao gong= the top (seme)

I will try to update it at least twice a day so I can catch up to the previously TL-ed chapter which is chapter 55 as soon as possible (ง’̀-‘́)ง

       In the second round, only several individuals were eliminated, and twenty people would enter the next round. Compared with the first preliminary round, this round was carefully rehearsed and prepared by the contestants. The stage effects of costumes and props were all considered, so the performance effect would be much better.

       When they performed on the stage, all the contestants have to participate, and then perform in turn in the order of the previous lottery. Wen Jianing’s order was relatively behind, and his position on the stage was relatively remote. Unless they deliberately looked for him, not many people would notice him.

       However, he had accumulated a lot of popularity from the first preliminary round.  From time to time, Wen Jianing’s corner was taken by the camera, and he did not dare to look too relaxed.

       The performance Wen Jianing prepared for him today had a little taste of stage drama. This was also the advice of the music consultant teacher invited by the TV station during the rehearsal, because his advantage was not too big if he was just singing. The teacher said that since it was a show, it was not only necessary to listen to the sound, but to comprehensively consider the effects of various aspects. There would always be different considerations for various types of singers, so that the competition would be good.

       Wen Jianing chose a song called “The Puppet”. While he was singing, he would play as a thread puppet without a soul from beginning to end until he finally broke free from the thin thread binding the body. At the same time when his soul was liberated, he also paid the price of being alive.

       During the rehearsal process, even the teacher who saw his performance was impressed. The teacher said that it was a very wonderful performance.

       Wen Jianing’s performance order was on the nineteenth. The recording has been going on for a long time, and everyone was already a little tired.

       The stage lights suddenly dimmed. Wen Jianing stood in the corner of the stage and slowly sang the first notes with the sound of music. The first half of this song was about always watching the world from the puppet’s eyes. People come and go in the circus, but he was always a rigid soul held in the hands of others. While singing, Wen Jianing was expressionless, but his plain voice was full of longing for the unknown world. His eyes had been empty, but if you look carefully, you would find that he was looking at the distance.

       The climax of the song was at the moment when he tried to break free from the shackles, and he became thrilled and his eyes became firm. Even if he knew that death might follow, he still chose to get rid of the rope that bound his body. In the end, the puppet fell to the ground and lost his life, but his eyes were smiling, and he ended his life with satisfaction and joy.

       The light hitting him dimmed, and applause began to sound at the scene.

       Wen Jianing was a little breathless. It was because he was too immersed in the performance. He stood up in the dark, calmed his emotions, and then stood in place waiting for the host.

       The order of comments began with Xu Rujing. She hesitated and said, “I can only say it’s a very good performance. To be honest, I like your performance very much, but there are too many things in your performance, which distracts me from your singing.”

       Wang Mei always praises more than criticizes. Over time, everyone will find that this may have something to do with her personality, but it didn’t show how much she likes the contestant’s songs.

       When it was Lu Jinlang’s turn, he suddenly asked, “Can you dance?”

       Wen Jianing took a deep breath, and then asked, “What kind of dance is Coach* Lu asking of?”

       The host interjected, “He means what other type of dance can you do?”

       Wen Jianing said, “I know a little jazz.”

       Lu Jinlang nodded, “Let’s dance next time.”

       After that, Lu Jinlang didn’t say anything.

       Wen Jianing still advanced from the second round. Compared with the preliminary round, his advancement in this round did not cause such a big commotion. The performance of that song was indeed wonderful. Although the whole song was not what you called as difficult, he sang at least without obvious mistakes. Compared to the few people that were eliminated, Wen Jianing still played well.

       After the round was over, everyone went back to backstage area. They hastily changed their clothes and prepared to leave and go back to rest. Wen Jianing never squeezed in when the dressing room was crowded. He sat quietly for a while, and waited until everyone had almost changed their clothes, and had to pack their things to leave, before he took his clothes and walked towards the locker room.

       Wen Jianing came out after changing his clothes, and all the contestants in the dressing room left, leaving only the cleaning staff to start cleaning.

       He picked up his bag and walked outside. When he walked into the elevator and saw that the elevator going downward was closing. He speeded up two steps and rushed to block the elevator door. The elevator door that was about to be closed, slowly opened again. Wen Jianing immediately saw Lu Jinlang, Xu Rujing, and An Yongkang. Among the four famous judges, only Wang Mei was missing.

       At this time, someone who knew their place would step back and let them go first. Of course, there were still people who would happily squeeze in and wanted to say a few words to them.

       Wen Jianing was naturally the former. After he regained his senses he took a step back and said, “Please, go ahead.”

       However, Lu Jinlang kept pressing the elevator button, waiting for him to come in.

       Xu Rujing smiled and said, “Come in, it’s okay.”

       Wen Jianing still wanted to refuse, but Lu Jinlang’s agent Song Dong said, “Hurry up, they are all waiting for you.”

       So he was embarrassed to refuse again and stepped in.

       Inside the elevator, Lu Jinlang, Xu Rujing, and An Yongkang were originally standing in the front. Of course, Wen Jianing could not go next to Xu Rujing, so he could only stand in front of Lu Jinlang.

       They were standing close to each other, and Wen Jianing was standing with his back on Lu Jinlang. However, he could even feel Lu Jinlang’s breath lightly tapping on the back of his neck. He had never felt so uncomfortable before, but he had no room for deliberate movement.

       Fortunately, Xu Rujing started a conversation with him and asked, “How do you feel about being promoted today?”

       Wen Jianing quickly answered politely, “I’m very happy, I’m thankful to the coaches.”

       Xu Rujing smiled and said, “The internet said that you are relying on Lu Jinlang for your promotion. Shouldn’t you give something to express your gratitude?”

       Wen Jianing knew that Xu Rujing was joking, and it was a joke with a little malice. If he was really a junior who had just entered the entertainment circle, he was afraid he would be grateful for Xu Rujing’s joke and thought at least he could have something to do with Lu Jinlang. But now he didn’t like the joke at all.

       He could only turn his head slightly, without even looking at Lu Jinlang’s face, and said, “Thank you, Mr. Lu, I hope that one day my singing will be truly recognized by all teachers one day.”

       Unexpectedly, Lu Jinlang said, “That’s it?”

       Wen Jianing was stunned. He turned his head and looked at Lu Jinlang. Lu Jinlang was half a head taller than him. At this time, he lowered his head slightly to look at him. There was no special emotion in his eyes.

       Hearing that, Xu Rujing burst into laughter, “You hear it. Coach Lu said it wasn’t enough.”

       Wen Jianing didn’t know what to say for a moment, and after this brief hesitation, the elevator had reached the first floor.

       As the elevator door opened, Wen Jianing hurriedly went out first, and Lu Jinlang and his party soon came out of the elevator and walked towards the door. No one was paying attention to him anymore. These people were talking as they walked, Wen Jianing guessed that they were probably going to have dinner together.

       He exhaled a long breath and pulled his backpack’s strap. After these people left, he went outside the door to take a taxi.

       Later, Wen Jianing thought of Lu Jinlang’s “That’s it?” comment and never understood whether Lu Jinlang was joking or really felt that his way of thanking him was not enough. But no matter what it was, Wen Jianing could be sure that Lu Jinlang deliberately gave him a spot for promotion instead of recognizing his singing talent. As for the reason, Wen Jianing couldn’t figure out the reason. He found that he knew too little about Lu Jinlang.

       After the top 20 spots were selected, the TV station interviewed each contestant individually and negotiated the signing of the contract with the TV station’s performance agency that cooperated with the STS program.

       This was the unspoken rule of talent shows. If you didn’t sign a contract, you would probably be eliminated in the next game. Wen Jianing knows how to play, so he didn’t hesitate to sign the contract.  It was just that he hadn’t heard of the talent agency company called Lei Xing in the past. It seemed to be a new company, but judging from their attitude and handwork in investing in the program of STS, maybe their backup was not small.

       Wen Jianing chose to sign the contract. He had no other choice for the time being.

       Moreover, Lei Xing has expressed enough interest in him and hoped they could cooperate well in the future.

       After signing the contract, they were preparing intensively for the next round of competition. Five people were eliminated in the previous round. Now there were a total of 20 people left. The program team announced that the next round will be divided into ten groups, with two people in each group as a pair. In this game, half of the people will be eliminated, that was to say, if someone in the group was eliminated, then two people would be eliminated at the same time.

       The grouping was determined by drawing lots. The whole process from the drawing of the lots to the rehearsal to the competition would be tracked and filmed. Whether the two people were agreeing, disagreeing, or anything, it would be broadcasted in the next program.

       “This is unfair!” someone said.  “If the person in my group performs badly, am I not being dragged down?”

       The chief director of the program said, “Who told you that the world is fair?”

       After that, the drawing lots ceremony began, with more than a dozen cameras set up next to it, trying to capture every interesting expression.

       The numbering of the ballot was divided into ten groups, with two places for AB in each group, that was, 1A and 1B were in one group, and so on.

       Wen Jianing guesses that no one wanted to be paired with him. It was predicted that some people’s expressions would turn brighter later. Wen Jianing drew first, drew 5B, and then stood by and waited.

       After a while, Yi Nan crumpled the ballot in his hand. Although he tried to control his expression, he was obviously not successful. Wen Jianing heard the host announce that Yi Nan’s draw was 5A.

       Wen Jianing suddenly laughed, raised his hand and waved to Yi Nan, but Yi Nan ignored him.

       All this was captured by the camera.

I will try to update it at least twice a day so I can catch up to the previously TL-ed chapter which is chapter 55 as soon as possible (ง’̀-‘́)ง

       After he heard Lu Jinlang’s voice, Wen Jianing forced himself to calm down and warned himself not to misbehave in front of Lu Jinlang. He turned around slightly and said, “Sorry, Mr. Lu, my pants are wet, it’s not very convenient now.”

       He thought Lu Jinlang would leave after hearing what he said, but he didn’t expect Lu Jinlang to come in and asked, “Wet?”

       Wen Jianing pinched his palm and told himself it was okay. He couldn’t see it.

       In fact, he should have not been able to see it at all. His pants were wet, but they were only slightly stuck on his body, and he couldn’t see any detailed outline. On the contrary, he reacted a little too much because of his nervousness.

       Sure enough, Lu Jinlang took a look and said, “Wait.”

       After he said this, Lu Jinlang went out. Wen Jianing didn’t understand what he meant, but soon Lu Jinlang came back and took a pair of clean pants for Wen Jianing.

       Wen Jianing has always avoided facing Lu Jinlang head-on, but it could also be understood as an adult avoiding embarrassment.

       As soon as he received the pants from Lu Jinlang, Wen Jianing quickly thanked him and took them to the dressing room to replace his wet pants.

       After he changed his pants, Wen Jianing was able to calm down and wondered why Lu Jinlang was here at this time and why he would show such obvious kindness to him.

       From Wen Jianing’s view, this was indeed a very obvious good intention. In the past, when they were on the set, except for when they were on the scene, he only talked no more than three sentences in total to Lu Jinlang.

       But when he came out of the locker room, he found that Lu Jinlang had disappeared. After he brought Wen Jianing a pair of clean pants, he had already left.

       Wen Jianing was a bit at a loss, but he could only understand that he didn’t understand Lu Jinlang. Perhaps Lu Jinlang was an enthusiastic and kind-hearted man by nature.

       When Wen Jianing went back that night, after changing his pants, he found that it was a very high-end custom brand. If he could wear casual pants of this brand, it must be Lu Jinlang who owned the pants.

       That being the case, Wen Jianing couldn’t dispose of these pants at will. He specially sent them to a dry cleaner for cleaning that night. On the day of the official recording of the second round a week later, he took the pants to the TV station.

       Before the official recording started, the dressing room was in full swing, and everyone was busy putting on makeup and trying on clothes. On the contrary, Wen Jianing was the simplest. He had good skin and only needed a simple repair and put on the prepared costumes.

       Taking advantage of this free time, he took out Lu Jinlang’s trousers from his backpack and took them to the direction of Lu Jinlang’s waiting room.

       Lu Jinlang’s and the other’s waiting room was very quiet. Several doors were closed, and several big stars stayed in their respective rooms. Even the voices of someone talking and chatting couldn’t be heard.

       Wen Jianing knocked on the door of Lu Jinlang’s waiting room and heard the person inside say, “Come in.”

       When he opened the door, he saw that Lu Jinlang was alone in the waiting room. He was sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper.

       Seeing that it was Wen Jianing, Lu Jinlang lowered the newspaper in his hand, looked at him, and asked what his intention was with his eyes.

       “Mr. Lu,” Wen Jianing gestured to him with the pants in his hand, “I’m here to return it to you.”

       Lu Jinlang glanced at it and said, “Put it here.”

       Wen Jianing glanced at the waiting room’s surroundings, walked over and put his pants on the sofa, and said again, “Thank you.”

       Lu Jinlang folded the newspaper and put it aside. He asked Wen Jianing, “I heard you were ostracized by other contestants?”

       Wen Jianing was taken aback for a moment, and then said, “No, where did Mr. Lu hear about it?”

       Lu Jinlang did not answer his question.

       Wen Jianing couldn’t help but wonder, “Mr. Lu, can I ask why you voted for me that day?”

       Lu Jinlang hadn’t spoken yet. The waiting room’s door was suddenly pushed from the outside. Lu Jinlang’s assistant and agent came in from the outside together. When they sawWen Jianing inside, they all paused.

       These two people actually knew Wen Jianing in the past. Lu Jinlang’s assistant, Lu Yunan was a very honest and responsible person, and he didn’t talk excessively. Lu Jinlang’s agent, Song Dong, was a lot slicker and liked to measure down someone’s weakness, but this kind of personality was very helpful for his work.

       When he saw Wen Jianing, Song Dong’s eyes were a little unspeakable. He asked Lu Jinlang, “Are we disturbing you?”

       Lu Jinlang shook his head.

       Wen Jianing had no intention of staying after seeing this situation. He thanked Lu Jinlang again, opened the door and went out. Before going out, he noticed that Song Dong was still looking at him.

       The moment he closed the door, Wen Jianing suddenly understood the meaning of Song Dong’s eyes. In the past, when he saw some unknown actresses leaning in front of Lu Jinlang, Song Dong also showed those kinds of eyes.

       Wen Jianing couldn’t help being a little amused thinking that Song Dong actually looked at him this way. He then walked towards the large dressing room without looking back.

       Although the preparations started in the morning, the official recording would not start until the afternoon.

       At noon, a lunch box was prepared by the TV station.

       When he saw everyone rushing up to get the box lunch, Wen Jianing was not in a hurry to squeeze in. He sat in his seat and looked at his mobile phone. At this time, a person came over and handed him a box of lunch.

       Wen Jianing looked up and saw a young man named Wen Lin.

       Wen Jianing was very impressed with Wen Lin from the first sight, because he felt that Wen Lin’s character was very similar to Ke Xinhang in his imagination. He looked handsome, slightly reclusive, and liked music. When Wen Lin was free, he played guitar alone in the corner.

       Wen Lin took the initiative to help Wen Jianing get a lunch box. Wen Jianing was actually very grateful. He smiled and was about to thank him, when a person behind him reached out and took the box lunch and said, “Thank you.”

       Wen Jianing and Wen Lin were a little surprised. They turned around and found that the person who grabbed their lunch was Yi Nan. Yi Nan was the most dazzling contestant in this competition. He had a seductive appearance and could sing well. After the preliminary rounds were broadcasted, Yi Nan became extremely popular online.

       Yi Nan was not close with Wen Lin and Wen Jianing, but he was a very high-profiled person and didn’t hide his popularity at all. At the same time, because of his high popularity, many players would unconsciously take the initiative to please him and build a good relationship with him, because many people think that Yi Nan was likely to be the champion of this competition.

       Yi Nan’s behaviour of snatching a lunch box would be regarded as a joke or even a playful gesture.

       But Wen Lin obviously didn’t think so. He immediately looked upset, and said, “Please give it back to me. If you want to eat, you can get it yourself.”

       Yi Nan had already cracked the disposable chopsticks with a smile. When Yi Nan heard his words, he looked up to Wen Lin and jokingly said, “Just go get another box. Please give this box to me.”

       Wen Lin said, “Please take it yourself, I’m not happy to invite you to eat.”

       Yi Nan couldn’t maintain his composure anymore, he stood up and said, “But you can just invite this little white boy* to eat?”

       At first, Wen Jianing wanted to persuade Wen Lin to forget it, but when Yi Nan said something about himself, he felt uncomfortable. He also stood up and said to Yi Nan, “Mr. Yi should be a little more polite. “

       Yi Nan said, “Why do you think I’m rude to you?”

       Wen Lin was obviously angered by what Yi Nan said to Wen Jianing. Wen Lin angrily said, “Cut the crap!” and then he reached directly for the lunch box.

       Yi Nan blocked him for a while, and Wen Lin couldn’t hold the lunch box firmly. Then the lunch box suddenly fell to the ground.

       The entire dressing room’s attention was drawn to them, and a TV station staff member was already asking loudly, “What happened?”

       The atmosphere here was tense, and Wen Jianing really worried that Wen Lin and Yi Nan would argue with each other again. When he was about to speak, suddenly he heard someone knock on the door of the dressing room and asked, “Is Mr. Ke Xinhang here?”

       It was a little abrupt because the entire dressing room who had been quiet because of Wen Jianing’s quarrel all turned their heads and looked over at the same time.

       There he saw that the person standing at the door turned out to be Lu Jinlang’s assistant, Lu Yunan.

       Lu Yunan held a plastic bag in his hand. He didn’t seem to think that there was anything wrong with the atmosphere inside, and he directly walked toward Wen Jianing with his bag.

       He put the plastic bag on the table in front of Wen Jianing and said, “Mr. Lu asked me to bring it to you.”

       Lu Yunan said that and left.

       Wen Jianing was a little surprised. In addition, all the eyes in the entire dressing room were focused on him, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He untied the bag and saw that there were two carefully packed lunch boxes inside. It was all an exquisite meal.

       These were obviously not lunch boxes that were sold outside for more than ten yuan**, but were packed in big restaurants.

       Under such circumstances, no one could say anything for a while.

       The dispute between Yi Nan and Wen Lin also stopped. Yi Nan went to get a box of lunch by himself and hummed vaguely before leaving. Probably in addition to mocking Wen Jianing, there were some inexplicable meanings behind it.

       Lu Jinlang’s obvious care could be understood as Wen Jianing had really come to this round by having a backup, or it could also be understood as Lu Jinlang’s special recognition for Wen Jianing, so he was willing to support him.

       No matter what, it was an enviable thing.

       Lu Jinlang’s concerns were all sent over. Of course, Wen Jianing couldn’t refuse. He invited Wen Lin to eat with him, but Wen Lin said, “No, you can eat by yourself.”

       Then Wen Lin took the box lunch and sat beside him to eat.

       Wen Jianing sighed for a long time, decided to ignore the gazes around him, and sat down to eat the meal first.

       The recording of the program didn’t end in one day. When he returned at night, Wen Jianing was so tired that he didn’t even want to take a bath. He just lay on bed and immediately went to sleep.

       When he woke up every morning, he would be in a short trance. He wouldn’t be able to remember exactly where he was, and then he would recall that he was now a young man named Ke Xinhang, aged twenty, with singing as his hobby.

       He had now formed a habit, that was when he went for a bath and went to the toilet, he would try to avoid seeing his physical abnormalities. Sometimes when you couldn’t see it, you could force yourself to think that it didn’t exist.

       However, the most troublesome thing in the past two days was the bathroom at the TV station, because there were too many people there. If Wen Jianing waited for the cubicle to be freed up every time, it would take a lot of time.

       He felt that Ke Xinhang must be very strong to be able to grow up healthily.

       While waiting at the backstage area today, a hostess brought a cameraman to ask him questions. The hostess asked him what he thought of Lu Jinlang saying “Good acting” to him yesterday.

       Many people in the backstage area looked in his direction.

       Wen Jianing smiled shyly and said, “Can I take this sentence as encouragement to me?”

       “Well,” the hostess wanted to appear more friendly, but the question she asked was very intense. She then continued, “Don’t you think it is ironic?”

       Wen Jianing replied, “I think it is very helpful to my approach towards singing.”

       Who didn’t know how to avoid by going in circle?

       The hostess did not follow up, she asked a few more questions and then went to interview others. Later, when it was officially aired, Lu Jinlang’s words and Wen Jianing’s embarrassing smile were cut into trailers. Of course, this was a story for another time, and Wen Jianing has not thought that far.

       He thought he should be eliminated today.

       When he came on stage again, Wen Jianing found a quiet corner to stay. There were more than 20 people waiting to be confirmed. Many of these players have not been absolutely recognized, but instead became the highlight of the first game.

       Wen Jianing didn’t care much about this. He thought he had done his best, and he helped Ke Xinhang finish the step he had planned to take. How far he could go was really beyond his control; he was still thinking about whether he should contact some friends and find some other ways.

       He couldn’t attend school because he didn’t dare to go to the physical examination, and he didn’t want to live in the dormitory.

       He couldn’t reveal his identity when he was looking for his friends, but he could say that he knew Wen Jianing in the past and was introduced through Wen Jianing. It was not impossible to start from a small role.

       Wen Jianing was distracted until he heard the host calling his name.

       He came back to his senses and walked out of the crowd, and stood next to the host.

       The host handed him the microphone and said, “Is there anything you want to say to the judges? You have one last chance, which is in the hands of our four judges.”

       Wen Jianing felt it was somewhat unexpected. He took the microphone and said only one sentence, “I will work hard and hope to be recognized by the judges.”

       The host smiled and said, “It doesn’t sound very sincere. Which judge do you think is most likely to vote for you?”

       Wen Jianing looked at the four people on the opposite side. Right now, everyone’s expression was very relaxed. Wang Mei even made a gesture of opening her arms and said, “Come on!”

       This action made the audience laugh.

       Wen Jianing said, “I don’t think I can think about it casually. Otherwise, what if there were other judges who wanted to vote for me, but I blocked them out by myself?”

       The host smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then turned to the next person for an interview.

       These shots would not necessarily be broadcast at the same time, and would probably be left in dust. Unless for some of the particularly interesting interviews.

       The host took up a lot of time, making the whole atmosphere more and more tense, and then said that now each of the judges would announce the last contestant left to qualify in their hands.

       Several judges discussed and decided that An Yongkang would announce it first, according to the ranking of seats, and Lu Jinlang would be the last.

       When it was Wang Mei’s turn, Wen Jianing became nervous. Wang Mei was probably his only hope. But Wang Mei obviously wouldn’t do things as she pleased. After thinking about it for a long time, she voted for a female contestant whom she had praised vigorously before.

       The camera lens immediately aimed at Wen Jianing, trying to capture his expression.

       But he was still very calm, because he knew that the world depends on one’s strength, not luck.

       Wen Jianing felt a little tired. The temperature in the studio was very high, and the stage was scorched by the lights. He felt that he was sweating a little hard, and his lower body was particularly uncomfortable. He didn’t know whether it was because he was particularly concerned about the cause.

       He just wanted to finish early.

       It was finally Lu Jinlang’s turn. Since it was the last person to qualify, the host began to try his best to set off the tense atmosphere. After he said a series of words with the microphone, he raised his hand in the direction of Lu Jinlang and said, “I welcomed Mr. Lu Jinlang to announce which lucky player he voted for in the end!”

       Lu Jinlang had been sitting against the back of his chair. At this time, he sat up straight, reached out his hand and moved the direction of the microphone in front of him closer to his mouth, and said the words in a very calm tone, “Ke Xinhang.”

       There was a small uproar at the scene.

       Wen Jianing himself was stunned, but the host was the first to react. He asked Lu Jinlang in surprise, “Can Mr. Lu tell us why you made this choice?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “I want to hear him sing more songs.”

       After saying that, Lu Jinlang had no intention of continuing to express his opinions.

       The host had no way to make him talk more. He smiled and concluded the round. The recording of the program was almost over here. Finally, he congratulated the contestants who passed, expressed regret for the contestants who lost the audition, and then announced that the recording was over.

       Wen Jianing still hadn’t recovered. He saw Lu Jinlang stand up and walk towards the backstage with Xu Rujing beside him. A female contestant who participated in the competition ran to him to ask for an autograph, but he politely refused.

       The preliminary competition has officially ended, and a total of 25 contestants advanced to the next round. The competition would not continue to record to the next round until the preliminary editing was broadcasted. At that time, the competition would focus on the contestant’s performance. During this period, the players would be given professional training and stage makeup. The final speech of the general director was summarized as: it was not a competition, but a wonderful concert.

       All the contestants who entered the next round of the competition were very enthusiastic, as if they were really looking forward to their concert.

       However, Wen Jianing’s mood was a little complicated. When he packed up and left, he even heard the two girls walking in front talking about who was his backup.

       They didn’t notice that Wen Jianing was behind them, and Wen Jianing didn’t deliberately pass by them. He listened to them guessing all the way until they left the gate of the TV station.

       Back home, Wen Jianing called Su Shan about him passing the preliminaries.

       Su Shan was surprised and said, “I will give you a few days off. If you become popular, remember to come back to the bar and have a concert.”

       Wen Jianing smiled and thanked him.

       After that day, the professional music team hired by the TV station began to train these contestants in turn. Wen Jianing had to run to the TV station almost every day.

       Until the first round was officially broadcast, the program had become popular all over the country. Of course, there are many factors, including Starlight’s original influence, the famous judges, the strong candidates selected through the audition, and the excellent post production.

　　 The program Sing to Soul**, which is called STS for short on the Internet, triggered many topics at once, and several contestants became popular in the simple preliminary round.

       Ke Xinhang was one of them. But in reality, he became popular because he was different from other contestants. He was the only contestant in the program who entered the semifinals with his face. Some people joked that he was so handsome that he moved Lu Jinlang and had gone beyond the boundaries of gender.

       Of course, this did not prevent a large group of girls from falling in love with him and a fan group soon formed.

       Wen Jianing went online to read this news, but he didn’t pay too much attention to it. It was a good thing to be noticed, no matter how far he could go in this game, after all, it opened a way for him.

       However, what bothered him a little was that some contestants who entered the semifinals were obviously showing some resistance to him. It seemed that he had been labeled as having a backup. Impressed Lu Jinlang by singing? As if the devil believes it! As for getting chosen because of his face, if it was Wang Mei they would believe it more. But Lu Jinlang would not choose him because he was good-looking. The final result of the discussion was that he should have a backup.

       Those judges have probably been greeted in advance by his backup. Anyway they must’ve arranged something to ensure that Ke Xinhang would not be eliminated.

       These were the words discussed behind his back and would not reach Wen Jianing’s ears, but he could always feel the unfriendly attitude of those people.

       At the end of the rehearsal that afternoon, when Wen Jianing was packing up in the big dressing room backstage to leave, a girl next to him looked into the mirror while drinking water from a glass.

       The two men behind them started joking and bumped into the girl’s elbow. All her water in the glass splashed on Wen Jianing’s pants.

       The girl screamed, put down her glass and went after the two noisy young people, then turned back and asked if Wen Jianing was all right.

       After Wen Jianing was splashed with water on his pants, his first reaction was to sit down. He was very nervous, because he wore a pair of loose casual pants today and it all stuck to his body as soon as he got wet. He was very afraid of what others could see from the outline of his pants.

       When the girl asked him if there was anything wrong, he shook his head and said it was all right, but his face looks unwell.

       The girl looked at him closely and said, “It’s not boiling water, It’s not that serious, right?”

       Wen Jianing took his bag to cover his leg and said, “It’s nothing, it’s not hot.”

       The girl then said to him, “I’ll get the hair dryer for you to dry it.”

       Wen Jianing refused, “No, I’ll handle it myself.”

       The girl looked at him again, seeming to think that his attitude was not very friendly, so she stopped caring about him anymore.

       Soon, the people in the dressing room packed up their things and left one after another. They left Wen Jianing alone in the room, still sitting in his seat.

       He was too nervous, and he couldn’t help thinking more about it. Is there a surveillance camera in the dressing room? Will he be photographed by the surveillance camera?

       Actually, the dark trousers he wore might not be noticeable at all, but he just couldn’t convince himself not to care.

       When the people were almost gone, he knew that a cleaning staff would come in to clean in a while, so he stood up and reached for a hair dryer that was not far away.

       Just when he got it in his hand, he heard a person’s voice at the door, “What are you doing?”

       Wen Jianing dropped the hair dryer on the ground. He recognized that the voice belonged to Lu Jinlang.

       Two days later, Wen Jianing received a call from Director Chen informing him to participate in the TV program recording a week later.

       He calmly replied, “Okay.”

       The moment when he hung up, Wen Jianing also made up his mind to face this competition seriously. He would rather see this as a competition rather than an audition. It was not a show for others to see, but it was to find a way out for his future.

       After he made this decision, Wen Jianing began to look for the contact information of Ke Xinhang’s family. Ke Xinhang’s physical deformity couldn’t be known to others. He didn’t want his parents to see him on TV.

       However, Ke Xinhang’s existing contact information didn’t contain his parents’ contact number, nor even his brother’s.

       Wen Jianing found the phone number of Ke Xinhang’s uncle, called him and asked around. Only then did he know that Ke Xinhang’s parents had passed away, and his brother had a bad relationship with him. The two people were now not in contact.

       Actually, this was also a good thing, otherwise, Wen Jianing really didn’t know how to deal with Ke Xinhang’s family. The fact that Ke Xinhang had a bad relationship with his brother, was an unstable factor that made Wen Jianing feel a little uneasy.

       In the evening, Wen Jianing told Su Shan about him passing the interview.

       Su Shan was surprised, “Huh? Did he really like you?”

       Wen Jianing couldn’t help laughing, “You aren’t so optimistic about me?”

       “To be honest,” Su Shan said, “I was really not optimistic about you before.”

       Just Ke Xinhang singing those niche songs with his guitar will not give enough entertainment effects no matter how beautiful his face was. Su Shan thought with such a face, if Ke Xinhang was willing to go on stage to sing Phoenix Legend’s* song, maybe he could still hit the audience.

       Wen Jianing didn’t mind Su Shan saying so. He asked the bartender who was cleaning the bar for a beer and walked to the back lounge with it. Su Shan asked him what he was doing, but he didn’t say.

       He walked to the rest area of the bar band, knocked on the door, put the beer on the table, and said, “Today I buying my brothers a drink.”

       Wen Jianing was a kind person with a good personality and was also good at dealing with people. In the past, on the set, even he could say hello to the cleaning lady with a smile. So he had always been popular in the circle and had a good reputation.

       The purpose of inviting several members of the band to drink was to ease the relationship with them and at the same time hoped to get some help in music. Now, he had no conditions to find a professional music team. He could only rely on the strength of others around him to lay some foundation for his competition.

       His singing skills were weak, so he needed to work hard on music selection. He needs to choose a song suitable for his voice characteristics and modify it appropriately to ensure that he would not be eliminated in the first game.

       Singing was neither his ideal nor his interest. He couldn’t and didn’t have the ability to realize this dream for Ke Xinhang. He wanted this competition to be a starting point. As for his ultimate goal, he might still want to surpass Lu Jinlang and really stood at the peak of his career.

       The official program recording was a week later. For the sake of the program’s effect, all singers participating in the competition would go to the rehearsal one day in advance to go through the process.

       Although there was no audition, there were nearly 70 participants in the preliminary round. The rehearsal process was very fast, and the official recording couldn’t be completed in a day.

       On the day of the official recording, the backstage was even more lively. There was no makeup artist for the contestants. What needed to be recorded for the first time was their true appearance. In a sense, this talent show was a reality show in which these young people become famous overnight.

       Wen Jianing was in the corner wearing headphones listening to the song he was going to sing on stage. It was a female love song. Because he had a neutral voice, only a few male songs were suitable for him. On the contrary, the female singer’s songs could give some flavour.

       There was a large makeup mirror in front of him. A young girl was standing in front of the mirror, applying makeup on herself. She tossed over and over again, seemingly dissatisfied, but Wen Jianing could see that she was probably nervous.

       Not far from him, a very delicate young man was playing the guitar, and his eyes drifted away from time to time.

       They were a group of young people chasing their dreams. They seemed impractical and might not succeed, but they all have the courage to chase their dreams.

       Except for Lu Jinlang, the judges of this competition were three famous figures in the singing world, one man and two women. The competition system was not complicated. In addition to the elimination of many people in the first game, it will focus on performance and light competition, with an appropriate number of eliminated people in each game.

       The elimination system in the first game was very simple. If more than three judges of the four judges give a pass, they will pass. If only two people gave a pass, they will be put on hold. If less than two people gave a pass, the participant would be eliminated.

       In fact, the overall quality of the singers was very good. Although the number of eliminated singers would not be small, the number of people who passed the test was believed to be quite large.

       As for the ones that were put on hold, it would become the highlight of the first game, because each judge has a quota that could directly give a pass to an undetermined player, so among the undetermined people, only four people in total could enter the next round.

       From the beginning of the competition, Wen Jianing had been quietly listening to songs in the corner of the backstage dressing room.

       A director instructed the cameraman to film the waiting contestants, perhaps because he found that Wen Jianing was good-looking, and so the camera was aimed directly at his face.

       Wen Jianing noticed that the camera was shooting him, so he smiled gently at the camera and waved his hand.

       When he came out, the program had been recorded until the evening. After waiting for most of the day, the people were very tired and there was no quiet environment to rest. But fortunately, he was used to acting and used to this life.

       As soon as he walked into the competition venue, Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang sitting at the judges’ table.

       In fact, Wen Jianing didn’t quite understand why Lu Jinlang participated in this type of program. Lu Jinlang had never been very involved in variety and entertainment programs. Even for the movie promotions, he was absent a lot.

       He now sat here today, although Lu Jinlang didn’t appear impatient, his expression was somewhat indifferent. He just glanced down at the player roster programmatically, and then raised his head to look at Wen Jianing.

       Sitting next to Lu Jinlang was Xu Rujing, the first sister in the singing world. She saw Wen Jianing come out to the stage and whispered something in Lu Jinlang’s ear.

       Lu Jinlang nodded but did not speak.

       Wen Jianing adjusted the height of the microphone, turned his head and nodded to the band, and then the band began to play. The song he chose to sing was written for her by her ex-boyfriend who was dating the female singer at the time. It was originally a light love song. Later, at the female singer’s concert, she re-wrote the lyrics, rearranged the music, modified the song and sang it. Turning a happy song into a sad love song. The day after her concert, the media revealed that it was her ex-boyfriend’s wedding day.

       What Wen Jianing sang was the sad version of the female singers who had changed lyrics and songs.

       His voice was very soft. The purpose was to cover up his lack of breath and deliberately create an ethereal feeling. The re-arrangement to modify the high-pitched part was also to prevent the high-pitched voice from appearing too weak.

       However, if only seen from the surface, it could be seen that he was singing passionately. It was originally a song full of emotion. Wen Jianing uses his clear voice to express the pain and helplessness separated from his lover concisely and vividly.

       At the end of the song, he even closed his eyes with a little bit of deliberate crying, at the last line of the lyrics.

       When the song ended, the whole studio was quiet for a moment, as if everyone had been brought into that painful mood.

       The first person to speak was Xu Rujing. She asked, “Did you cry?”

       Everyone thought the young person on the stage was singing and crying.

       Wen Jianing opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, but there was no sign of tears in his eyes.

       Xu Rujing was a little surprised. She didn’t say anything but looked at two people on her left and the right.

       Lu Jinlang was the first to comment. His tone was incomprehensible, and he said, “Good acting.”

       For a while, the atmosphere of the scene was a little frozen. When a singer was rated as good at acting, of course, no one thinks it was praise. Lu Jinlang was so merciless, that the audience couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed for this young man named Ke Xinhang.

       Wen Jianing then responded with a slightly awkward smile.

       Xu Rujing also recovered her indifference at this time. She said, “The voice is good and the feelings are in place. However, as far as singing is concerned, there is still room for improvement.”

       The third judge is a female singer who returned from overseas. Her name was Wang Mei. She looked down at Ke Xinhang’s information, then looked up and said in non-standard Mandarin, “Ke Xinhang, right?”

       Wen Jianing nodded.

       Wang Mei smiled, raised her hand and said, “Maybe your singing skills can be improved, but I like the emotion you express in this song. Anyway, very handsome!”

       A burst of applause broke out at the scene.

       Wen Jianing also smiled and nodded his thanks.

       The last judge was An Yongkang, a well-known male creative singer in China. He objectively analyzed the problems in Wen Jianing’s singing process, analyzed the deficiencies one by one and conveyed them to Wen Jianing.

       Wen Jianing nodded and said thank you.

       Among these people, except Lu Jinlang, the other three were full-time singers and didn’t act, so they have less interaction with Wen Jianing, but they were not completely unknown.

       In contrast, Wen Jianing was actually more familiar with Xu Rujing than with Lu Jinlang.

       But now this familiarity has become his one-sided.

       The results of who passed would be announced on the spot, but the scoring results of each judge would not be specifically announced.

       Wen Jianing was mentally prepared to be eliminated, but he didn’t expect his luck to be this good. Two judges gave him the green light and let him pass temporarily.

       Before stepping down, Wen Jianing glanced at Lu Jinlang and felt that there was probably no hope for him. He was not expecting to take one of the remaining four precious places. Even Wang Mei, who loudly praised him for being handsome, just thought he was handsome. No one really thought he could sing well.

       In the evening, Wen Jianing still went to Su Shan’s bar to sing a few songs.

       He sat on a high stool, holding the microphone stand. His voice was a bit lazy and inattentive. A beam of light above his head hit his side face, making his face look clean and pure.

       After he sang the song and stepped down, someone ordered him a drink. Wen Jianing thanked the person, but did not drink the wine, and pushed it aside slightly. His psychological trauma over alcohol had not passed, and he didn’t intend to touch it again in the near time.

       Su Shan asked him, “How’re the preparations?”

       Wen Jianing didn’t answer, he didn’t even decide whether he should go or not.

       In fact, before this accident, Wen Jianing once jokingly told his friends if he had a chance to have a new life, he would still choose to become an actor and continue acting because he loves this job.

       But when he really faced this day, he hesitated. The reason for his hesitation was because of his body’s condition. He was not Ke Xinhang in his naive and fearless age. He understood the horror of this circle, so he would be more cautious.

       Su Shan thought he was chickening out, and said, “It doesn’t matter. Go and try it. Don’t mind it too much, you’re only 20 years old and still very young.”

       Twenty years old. Wen Jianing suddenly felt a little dazed. He was only twenty years old. He still had a very long time ahead, and his life had just begun.

       After that, Su Shan lit himself a cigarette.

       Wen Jianing wanted to ask him for one. “Can you give me one?” He was not addicted to smoking, but occasionally he smokes one when he was upset.

       Su Shan looked at him and said, “You shouldn’t smoke. You should cherish your voice.”

       Wen Jianing smiled but did not insist.

       Su Shan then said, “I’ve contacted my friend and said that he’ll let you go to the TV station to find a director surnamed Chen for an interview the day after tomorrow. I’ll give you his number and then you can go by yourself.”

       With that, Su Shan asked Wen Jianing to take out his mobile phone and write down a phone number. Then he said, “The director’s surname is Chen. Remember clearly.”

       Wen Jianing nodded. He looked at the phone number on his mobile phone and said, “I know.”

       When the time arranged by Su Shan to help him came, Wen Jianing chose to go to the TV station.

       In addition to his strength and luck, Wen Jianing was also a person who knew how to seize opportunities. Before he really made up his mind, he felt that he should not miss any opportunity to block a possible future.

       Starlight was now the most influential TV station in China, mainly focusing on entertainment and variety shows. Almost all stars’ new albums and new films promote promotions will appear in Starlight’s entertainment programs. Wen Jianing naturally came here more than once in order to cooperate with the promotion of the film.

       When he got out of the taxi, he saw a lot of media reporters guarding the door of the TV station. Subconsciously, he wanted to avoid them. However, at the same time, he remembered that these people no longer recognized him now. He was just an ordinary young man.

       As he placed the backpack on one of his shoulders, Wen Jianing walked toward the TV station. When he entered the gate, he was stopped by a security guard who questioned him about who he was looking for.

       Wen Jianing didn’t know Director Chen’s full name, so he had to take his mobile phone from his bag and called Director Chen.

       Just then, a car stopped in front of the TV station.

       Wen Jianing saw all the reporters crowded up in an instant, completely blocking the door of the entire TV station, and he himself was pushed aside forcibly.

       Then he saw Lu Jinlang come down from the car’s back door. The security guard rushed up to help him stop the reporters and reminded them to be in order. He walked towards the TV station without expression.

       A reporter asked loudly, “Mr. Lu, may I ask if it is true that you are rumoured to have taken the role of ‘October Fireworks’?”

       Lu Jinlang didn’t answer. He had already walked through the door of the TV station, and all the reporters were stopped outside.

       Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinlang’s back and was stunned. ‘October Fireworks’ was the last movie he was going to shoot before his accident. It was planned to officially start after the Academy Award ceremony, but it was put on hold because of his accident.

       Wen Jianing liked the script of ‘October Fireworks’ very much and was confident that he could perfectly perform the role of the main character, but he didn’t expect that it would be like this now.

       Wen Jianing just stood there for a long time, until the security started to urge him to call Director Chen again. Only then did he call director Chen again and let the security guards take the call and let him in.

       After he entered the TV station building, Wen Jianing learned from the comments of the surrounding employees that Lu Jinlang came today to shoot the last promotional video for the “Voice of The Soul.”

       Wen Jianing was called by Director Chen to a small recording studio on the seventh floor.

       Director Chen’s full name was Chen Kong. He was just an assistant director of the program. He might have accepted a friend’s recommendation and promised to let people try, but he was not very optimistic about this young man named Ke Xinhang. After all, there were too many young people dreaming of stardom.

       But when Wen Jianing pushed the door in, Chen Kong was surprised.

       It was a singing competition, but people with excellent appearance were more popular wherever they go.

       Chen Kong asked someone to set up a camera to shoot Wen Jianing and let him sing two songs.

       Wen Jianing was not very good at singing. His voice and pitch were good, but he was not a professional singer after all. He inevitably lacked in skills.

       However, Director Chen seemed to think that these could be substituted by his appearance. After he asked Wen Jianing to sing two songs, he said that after communicating with the director team, he would call Wen Jianing.

       Wen Jianing thanked him and left with his bag on his back.

       He didn’t care too much about the result now. What he cares about was the fact that Lu Jinlang took over the filming of ‘October Fireworks.’ Somehow, a feeling of sadness arose in his heart.

       If Wen Jianing really died, he would no longer exist in this world. Now it was too cruel to let him see all this with his own eyes.

       When he came down from the upper floor, Wen Jianing did not leave immediately, but walked around the television station’s studio on the first floor.

       At this time, Lu Jinlang was shooting a promotional video there.

       There were many staff members around the scene, so Wen Jianing didn’t get too close. He didn’t want to attract other people’s attention, so he stood at the corner of the door and watched Lu Jinlang’s filming.

       The shooting of this small promotional video was very simple for Lu Jinlang. Basically, it could be done at one time, and the director didn’t dare criticize him too much.

       Wen Jianing’s heart was in turmoil and all he could think of was ‘October Fireworks’.

       ‘October Fireworks’ was a literary romance film set in the 1990s. The hero and the heroine fell in love with each other but missed each other because they were young. It was a twist of fate to meet again 20 years later.

       The script was very meticulous, and the Director Fang Wei is also a famous director who was good at shooting literary and artistic films.

       After Wen Jianing got the script, he communicated with the screenwriter and director in detail. He had a lot of views on how to play this role and made sufficient preparations, but now he lost this opportunity.

       It felt really bad, especially after hearing that Lu Jinlang took over the role, it seemed that his precious things have been robbed by Lu Jinlang again.

       He felt it was a little difficult to accept.

       Perhaps it was the successive defeats that made him care too much about Lu Jinlang. Even if he won against Lu Jinlang this time and got the Film Emperor title, it did not completely quell the resentment in his heart.

       When he came back to his senses, Wen Jianing found that the shooting was over.

       Lu Jinlang put on the coat handed by his assistant and walked outside the studio while drinking water.

       Wen Jianing stood in the corner and wanted to wait until Lu Jinlang left. As a result, when Lu Jinlang passed him, he turned his head and looked at him.

       “Mr. Lu,” Wen Jianing didn’t hold back and called out. He couldn’t help but regret his irrationality.

       Unexpectedly, Lu Jinlang stopped and stood there waiting for Wen Jianing to speak.

       Wen Jianing politely asked, “Are you going to replace Wen Jianing in ‘October Fireworks’?”

       “Are you a reporter?” Lu Jinlang asked. He was followed by a large group of people, including his assistant, agent, and the chief director of the program group. They respectfully waited for Lu Jinlang to talk to this unidentified young man.

       Wen Jianing shook his head and found a suitable identity for himself, “No, I am a fan of Wen Jianing.”

       Lu Jinlang heard the words and said solemnly, “Yes, I will be in the movie.”

       Wen Jianing refrained from asking why. He was not qualified to ask Lu Jinlang why.

       But he did not expect Lu Jinlang to say, “I will create a Jiang Zixin who is completely different from Wen Jianing’s. I think you can look forward to it.”

       Jiang Zixin is the name of the main character in ‘October Fireworks’.

       When Lu Jinlang said these words, everyone was a little stunned. They didn’t understand why he would say such things to someone he didn’t know. However, Lu Jinlang didn’t give them time to be stunned. He already walked outside, and the others hurriedly followed.

       Wen Jianing was the only one left to digest his words. He suddenly thought, does Lu Jinlang feel a little unwilling to lose to himself this time?

       In the evening, Wen Jianing stood on the balcony in his pyjamas to feel the wind blows.

       The wind was strong, and his pyjamas were tightly attached to his body, showing a thin outline. He propped his head with one hand and looked out. Although the floors where he stayed were very high, there were all high-rise buildings around. He was blocked from seeing anything.

       He missed his garden villa. There was a big balcony on the second floor. He would sit on the balcony at night, listening to music and reading scripts. It’s a pity that can never go back to that kind of enjoyable life.

       The TV in the living room was on and it was broadcasting entertainment news. He heard the news that Lu Jinlang took over the movie ‘October Fireworks’ again.

       However, this time the program host commented in a gossipy tone that Fang Wei’s literary and artistic films had always earned a good reputation for actors. Wen Jianing took the role in “October Fireworks”, and aim for his second Film Emperor title with the movie. Now Wen Jianing could only hand it over to Lu Jinlang to see if he could get his third Film Emperor title.

       The host said so confidently, as if he was Wen Jianing himself.

       Wen Jianing lowered his head and smiled bitterly. Then he looked up and took a deep breath. There was still an embarrassment that was said to be on his mind. Yes, he was unwilling.

       In the evening, Wen Jianing waited for Su Shan in the bar. Only when works were over, Su Shan finally drove him back.

       Wen Jianing found that he couldn’t calm down. As long as he had nothing to do to calm down, he would be very concerned about his current body very much. If one has to measure the gains and losses, Wen Jianing has lost money, status, identity and honor, but he has won a youth that couldn’t be exchanged for anything. However, this young body lacks the most important things for men.

       He wondered if he had done something heinous and unforgivable that he didn’t know, so God deliberately wanted to punish him and put him in this situation.

       Wen Jianing’s heart felt so confused that he only reacted when Su Shan called Ke Xinhang’s name twice in a row.

       “Huh?” Wen Jianing turned to look at Su Shan who was driving.

       Su Shan asked, “You seem to be distracted all over today. Did something happen at home?”

       Wen Jianing shook his head, “I’m fine.”

       Su Shan then stopped pestering about the problem and said, “Do you know what I tried to look for you?”

       Wen Jianing really didn’t know. He gave a vague “um” and waited for Su Shan to explain the rest.

       Su Shan said, “I helped you find someone to contact the producer of the show. They said that there will be no large-scale audition. All the contestants were determined by the director team themselves. I told them about your conditions. They looked at your photos and they were very interested. They told you to go and see first when you have time, which is equivalent to an interview.”

       “Talent…show?” Wen Jianing asked hesitantly.

       Su Shan stepped on the brakes suddenly, “Ke Xinhang, what’s the matter with you?”

       Wen Jianing felt that Su Shan was a little unhappy. He quickly picked up his messy thoughts and said sincerely to Su Shan, “I’m sorry, Shan ge, there’s something troubling me in the past two days. I feel like a little out of shape.”

       Su Shan’s attitude was a little more relaxed, “I asked you earlier, why don’t you say it?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Because it is too personal…”

       Su Shan heard this, and didn’t press him any further, and said, “If you refuse to say it, deal with it yourself. If you hadn’t begged me for so long, I wouldn’t care about you. Take advantage of it yourself.”

       Wen Jianing nodded, “Thank you Shan ge.”

       Su Shan drove him to the downstairs of Ke Xinhang’s rental housing complex. After Ke Xinhang got out of the car, Su Shan turned back and left.

       Wen Jianing stood and watched Su Shan’s car drive away. Suddenly, he had the illusion that he was acting. He seemed to be playing as a young man named Ke Xinhang. There was no NG*, and no ending. He needed to remind himself to play this role all the time.

       Back to the room where Ke Xinhang lived, Wen Jianing collapsed on the sofa. He found the TV remote control on the sofa, and then turned on the TV.

       It was already late at this time. Wen Jianing changed channels at random until he saw a channel that was playing back the previous entertainment program. It was a reporter’s interview with Lu Jinlang after the awards ceremony that day. He asked Lu Jinlang what he thought of Wen Jianing’s winning the Film Emperor award.

       As he faced the camera, Lu Jinlang said calmly, “He lives up to the expectation.”**

       The reporter asked, “Who do you think you and he deserve the award more?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Hasn’t the Organizing Committee announced the results?”

       With that, the interview was interrupted and Lu Jinlang was escorted away.

       And what was he doing at that time? Wen Jianing recalled that he took the Film Emperor trophy. At the height of excitement, he attended the banquet after the award ceremony, interviewed by reporters, took pictures, and then drank a lot of wine….

       He raised his hand and covered his eyes. Would it not have been like this if he had not drunk so indulgently at that time?

       What is Lu Jinlang doing now? Would he treat him as a joke, and just laugh?

       Wen Jianing lay on the sofa for half an hour and got up to take a bath. He was not familiar with this house. He had to search carefully to find many things.

       When he opened the bedside drawer to find his underwear, Wen Jianing hesitated, because these old underwear were worn by the original owner, but he immediately thought that the original owner of the underwear was also this body, and there seemed to be nothing to mind. However, Ke Xinhang’s underwear were boxers, which wrap his lower part tightly. He should be afraid of being known about his physical condition.

       When he walked into the bathroom, Wen Jianing always couldn’t help but turn his head away. He didn’t want to see the incomplete parts of his body. He stood under the shower head and felt the hot water wash over his body. He suddenly held his breath and raised his head to let the hot water swept his face. He persisted until he couldn’t bear it, then he lowered his head and gasped, with one hand on the glass of the shower room.

       After he caught his breath again, Wen Jianing stretched his hand down. He just wanted to know if his body was completely abnormal. But there was no way, he couldn’t tell whether it was because of psychological effects or because his body was too tired. There was no response below. His head was also dizzy. He couldn’t feel comfortable, so he had to stop his hands, washed his body, put on his clothes and go out.

       That night, Wen Jianing thought he would be unable to sleep, but unexpectedly, he was immediately dead asleep as soon as he lay in bed. After all, he was still very young. He had a rare night of dreamless sleep until the next morning. It was almost ten o’clock when he woke up.

       Wen Jianing felt that he had not tried to sleep so deep for a long time. He sat up and sat blankly on bed for more than ten minutes before he put on his clothes and got out of bed.

       With nothing to do this morning, Wen Jianing began to look through Ke Xinhang’s belongings carefully.

       Yesterday, because he hurried out, Wen Jianing didn’t pay attention to many things. In fact, after looking carefully today, he found that Ke Xinhang had more than one electric guitar at home and a mike in front of the computer that looked valuable.

       He turned on Ke Xinhang’s computer and found a lot of music production software on the desktop, which he didn’t even know. On the computer’s hard drive, Wen Jianing found a folder containing all the songs written by Ke Xinhang himself. He also found self-playing and singing records by Ke Xinhang.

       These were not important to him. Later, Wen Jianing found several diaries in Ke Xinhang’s drawer. He took the diary and sat on the sofa, flipping through them one by one. These diaries were left by Ke Xinhang when he was still a student. He probably never wrote them again after graduation.

       However, from a few simple words, Wen Jianing learned more or less about Ke Xinhang. He was born with a disability. He had seen a doctor and was told that his condition was incurable. He was not fertile and at most could only have cosmetic surgery. Ke Xinhang grew up with an inferiority complex, but he was tenacious and competitive. He grew up in such a contradictory manner. Except for his parents and a brother, he carefully protected his secrets in front of others. After he graduated from high school, he never went to college and went out alone.

       He liked music very much and has loved it since childhood. Although his diary had been cut off since he graduated, Wen Jianing could also imagine that he must have suffered a lot when he graduated from school. He taught himself music while working and saved money to buy a guitar.

       Wen Jianing put down his diary and went to the bathroom. He looked at the beautiful young man in the mirror. He was undoubtedly crippled, but he was stubborn and not willing to take things just like that. He wanted to break into the entertainment circle, wanted to sing, wanted to release an album and had a concert. But has he ever thought about what he would face once he entered that circle? Would his physical condition be known one day, exposed by people with ulterior motives and ridiculed by people all over the world?

       He reached out and touched the eyebrows in the mirror. Wen Jianing felt that Ke Xinhang was still too young and naive.

       After he tidied up the diary, Wen Jianing continued to browse through Ke Xinhang’s computer randomly. He found the favorite web page of Ke Xinhang’s browser and found that Ke Xinhang had the habit of sorting out his weekly schedule. Now, apart from going to the bar to sing, Ke Xinhang spends most of the time writing and singing. He also sent demos to the record company. Wen Jianing didn’t know if he got any response.

       Afterwards, Wen Jianing saw that there was a webpage of a singing contest advertisement in Ke Xinhang’s favorites. After he clicked on it, Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang on the advertisement page at a glance.

       He was taken aback for a while, and then read the introduction in the small print on the web page, only to realize that the name was sing to soul. Lu Jinlang was invited to be the judge of the singing competition with the Chinese name of the “Voice of The Soul”.

       The organizer of the competition was the most well-known TV station in China. It was not surprising that Lu Jinlang could be invited in terms of financial resources and contacts. Except Lu Jinlang, the other three judges rank among the top ten in the domestic singing world. Lu Jinlang was the only one that was not a professional singer.

       Wen Jianing’s impression of the contest became poor instantly. He always felt that they were not serious enough. It was just an entertainment program made for publicity and ratings.

       However, Ke Xinhang obviously yearned for it. He even kept this web page deliberately, but he didn’t know whether the interview Su Shan mentioned to him before was about this contest.

       Wen Jianing planned to delete the web page. If he had the opportunity to meet Ke Xinhang, he would definitely dissuade the young man to give up his idea. There were countless costs behind the scenes of the entertainment industry. He felt that Ke Xinhang’s physical condition was really unsuitable for developing in this direction.

       But at the moment he clicked the mouse to delete it, he hesitated. He was not Ke Xinhang, so why should he make a decision for him? Now he has occupied other people’s bodies, and he didn’t know anything about where Ke Xinhang was and whether he was still in the world. Was he now in a hurry to erase the other party’s existence?

       He didn’t like singing and he could resell Ke Xinhang’s expensive guitar and microphone. He could stop going to the bar, not participating in any competitions, and then live his next life according to his own wishes.

       But what did he like? Acting? He discouraged Ke Xinhang from singing, but could he use such a body to act again? What should the future look like? How could he take this step? Wen Jianing fell into unprecedented doubts and sat in front of the computer for a long time.
