       After the bath, Wen Jianing slowly regained his composure.        He put on the pyjamas that he took off when he came in, walked out of the bathroom, and heard movement from the kitchen downstairs.        Wen Jianing walked to the kitchen door and saw Lu Jinlang frying eggs.        Lu Jinlang wore a white cotton shirt and beige trousers. He looked very casual and comfortable. He even put one hand in his trouser pocket when he fried eggs, while he held a spatula in his right hand. His movements were graceful and when someone looked at him, it would look like a photoshoot for a magazine.        Perhaps he heard Wen Jianing’s footsteps, and said, “Breakfast is almost ready. Go wait for a bit in the dining room.”        Wen Jianing originally thought the person in the kitchen was Lu Yunan, but he didn’t expect it to be Lu Jinlang. He stood there for a while and asked, “Where’re my clothes? Have you seen my phone?”        Lu Jinlang said, “I will ask Yunan to wash your clothes later and your phone is by your bed. Didn’t you see it?”        Wen Jianing really did not see it. He went back to find his cell phone. He Chaoshu was calling him just in time.        The phone connected, He Chaoshu hesitated over there and asked him, “Are you okay?”        Wen Jianing replied, “I’m all right. Thank you Shu ge.”        He Chaoshu didn’t ask much and just said, “That’s good. You’d better continue to follow the TV station’s arrangement in the next two days and prepare for the finals.”        Wen Jianing replied, “I understand.”        After he hung up the phone, he went down to the first floor. Wen Jianing saw that Lu Jinlang had placed fried eggs, bread and freshly brewed coffee on the table.        The two of them sat down face to face. Lu Jinlang helped him pour the coffee and asked him if he would like to add sugar and milk.        Wen Jianing always had a very surreal feeling when he looked at Lu Jinlang. For example, Lu Jinlang personally cooked breakfast for him, which was something unimaginable with Ke Xinhang’s identity, and it was even more impossible to imagine as Wen Jianing.        When Lu Jinlang saw Wen Jianing was in a daze, he said, “You drank a lot of alcohol last night. You’d better not drink black coffee. Be careful not to hurt your stomach.” With that, he helped Wen Jianing add milk and sugar.        Wen Jianing picked up the spoon, stirred the coffee, and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lu, I was a little emotional just now.”        Lu Jinlang said: “You don’t need to apologize. As I said, I’m the one at fault.”        Wen Jianing didn’t say anything anymore. He took the bread Lu Jinlang handed over and slowly took a bite.        Before breakfast was over, Lu Yunan drove over. He brought a new set of clothes for Wen Jianing and even bought a new pair of underwear.        Wen Jianing took the clothes and went into the room to change. Looking at the black bullet underwear*, he immediately began to suspect that Lu Jinlang was deliberately humiliating him. But soon he also felt that Lu Jinlang would not tell Lu Yunan this kind of thing. Lu Yunan probably bought it by himself, so he couldn’t be angry about this kind of thing.        It was just that the empty feeling in front of him after putting on his underwear made him very uncomfortable.        When he came down from upstairs, Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang explaining something to Lu Yunan.        Lu Jinlang saw Wen Jianing, and said to him, “I’ll ask Yunan to take you to the TV station later. You’re still going to the TV station today, right?”        Wen Jianing nodded, “I have to continue the rehearsal.”        Lu Jinlang said, “Good luck.”        Wen Jianing was a little out of shape during the whole day’s rehearsal. Later, the music teacher became angry and asked him if he actually didn’t want to continue the competition.        Wen Lin, who was also in the same practice room, was sitting in the corner playing his guitar.        Wen Jianing remembered that Wen Lin had left without saying goodbye yesterday. When he was taking a break, he walked toward him and sat down and asked him why he left yesterday.        “Xinhang,” Wen Lin moved his hand away from the guitar strings and looked a little dazed. “I don’t know what I’m working on anymore. I found that even if I win the championship this time, it doesn’t seem to mean anything to me.”        Wen Jianing said to him, “Haven’t you thought that the changes this game will bring to you are very limited? It just gives you a way to go, how to go on is up to you.”        “On my own?” Wen Lin said, “Do I have the right to choose?”        Wen Jianing said softly, “Have you thought about what abilities you have? Why should you ask others to give you the right to choose?”        Wen Lin couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard it.        “Opportunities are won,” Wen Jianing put his hands on his knees, “You haven’t taken this step yet. Isn’t it too early to give up now?”        Wen Lin turned his head to look at him and was silent for a while before saying to him, “Thank you.”        Wen Jianing patted him on the shoulder.        It was almost time for the final**, the program team made various plans to present the most wonderful round. Unfortunately, Wen Jianing and Wen Lin were not in good condition. The director was a little anxious and talked to the two in private.        Wen Jianing naturally couldn’t say anything.        After they returned from the general director’s office, Wen Jianing met Yi Nan in the corridor. Yi Nan looked at his eyes with some indescribable gaze.        Wen Jianing didn’t want to talk to him, but when he passed by Yi Nan, he heard him say, “I heard you went back with Lu Jinlang yesterday?”        Wen Jianing stopped all of a sudden. He was in a bad mood, and Yi Nan’s deliberate provocation made him very uncomfortable.        There were only two of them in the corridor. He turned to face Yi Nan and said, “Yeah, who told me that I didn’t have a good background to get me the champion by default?”        Yi Nan’s expression suddenly changed. He asked Wen Jianing, “Who did you hear that from?”        In fact, Wen Jianing didn’t know Yi Nan’s background. He just looked at Yi Nan’s food and clothing, listened to the way he spoke, and guessed that he should be a young master from a well off family. This time, he was named the winner internally, mostly because of his family’s relationship, which was why he said what he just said.        However, Yi Nan’s reaction made him feel a little perplexed. He didn’t intend to speak in-depth and turned to leave.        But he didn’t expect Yi nan to grab his hand and didn’t let him leave. “Tell me clearly, where did you hear about this?”        Wen Jianing found that Yi Nan’s expression was a little angry. He was a little confused and suddenly realized that Yi Nan probably didn’t know that someone had helped him to get the champion behind his back. Wen Jianing was even more reluctant to say more. He said, “I accidentally heard about it from someone.”        Yi Nan pursued, “From who?”        Wen Jianing knew that he was going to pursue it to the end, so he shook off his hand and said, “Don’t you know who is backing you up? What’s the use of asking me? I have no obligation to tell you!”        With that, Wen Jianing started to walk away again.        Yi Nan grabbed his right arm and tugged it hard.        Yi Nan was exerting a lot of strength and Wen Jianing was almost dragged down by him. Wen Jianing suddenly became angry, and said, “What are you playing at? Even if you fight me here today, I still don’t know!”        His voice echoed loudly, and the people in the next few rooms were intrigued. They came out and saw the two quarreling, so they hurried over to persuade them to stop fighting.        When Yi Nan saw other people come, he didn’t continue to hold Wen Jia Ning.        Wen Jianing pulled up his torn sleeve, turned and walked away.        The news of the conflict between the two people spread out on the same day. Someone circulated the news that “Ke Xinhang and Yi Nan quarrelled at the TV station, and they even got into a fight. Ke Xinhang’s sleeves were torn.”, and it soon became a hot topic on Weibo.        That night, Wen Jianing received a call from Lei Xing telling him to go to the company.        As soon as he entered Wu Dongqin’s office, he heard the other party complaining, “Xinhang, what did you do? Why are you guys quarrelling in a place like a corridor?”        Wen Jianing saw that Wu Dongqin and He Chaoshu were there, but Yi Nan was not there. Knowing that the other party was only coming at him, he might have to be the one who had to come forward to explain something to the media. He immediately felt more upset.        He Chaoshu said to him, “Everyone is a colleague in a company, there is no need to make fun of others.”        Wen Jianing said, “It is him who is making fun of others, not me.”        He Chaoshu and Wu Dongqin looked at each other.        Wu Dongqin said, “We don’t know exactly what happened, but if Yi Nan offends you first, let’s sit down in private and talk about it, but we still have to keep showing to the people outside that it’s just a misunderstanding.”        Wen Jianing didn’t speak.        Wu Dongqin then said, “The final round is coming soon. We can’t say that it’s not good to stir up the topic at this time. These are indeed the times you should attract more attention. However, I think you should still control the degree. After it has circulated for two days, you register a Weibo, write a statement, say it’s a misunderstanding, and put a photo of you two together. It will be perfectly solved by then, won’t it?”        Of course, Wen Jianing didn’t foolishly ask why it should be him, and not Yi Nan? He knew that Yi Nan’s position was better than his. This was the case in this circle. Your identity or background didn’t matter, unless you were able to make it big, you would always have to suffer.        In fact, it was not only this circle. When a person becomes an adult and needs to work in society in order to get paid, they must bear this unless they can climb to the top of the food chain.        It was a pity that Wen Jianing a person who was already at the top, was pushed down again, and now has to come back to suffer this hollow anger.        If it was the usual, he didn’t have to do any meaningless persistence, but at this time, he just felt a little unbearable in his heart.        When they saw that Wen Jianing didn’t speak, Wu Dongqin winked at He Chaoshu and motioned him to persuade him again.        At this time, Wen Jianing’s mobile phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Lu Jinlang.        As soon as the call was connected, Lu Jinlang asked, “Have you had dinner?”        Wen Jianing couldn’t help but glance at those two, and then replied, “Not yet.”        Lu Jinlang said to him, “Then let me pick you up, can you go now?”        “Yes,” Wen Jianing said, “Come here, I’m at Lei Xing.”        When he heard the conversation, Wu Dongqin suddenly seemed a little unhappy. They hadn’t finished talking here, but Wen Jianing was already in a hurry to leave, so he asked in a deep voice, “What? Do you have an appointment?”        Wen Jianing hung up the phone and said, “I’m sorry, I have something to do and have to leave. Mr. Lu said he will come to pick me up.”        Wu Dongqin was taken aback when he heard the words, “Mr. Lu?”        It was He Chaoshu who reacted first, “You said Lu Jinlang?”        Wen Jianing nodded, and walked outside and said, “We will discuss it when Yi Nan is here next time.”        Neither Wu Dongqin nor He Chaoshu stopped him this time.        After he went out of the room, Wen Jianing squeezed his phone. Compared with the business with Wu Dongqin here, he would rather have dinner with Lu Jinlang. Anyway, this time, Wen Jianing was a little grateful for Lu Jinlang’s call.

       Wen Jianing felt that he couldn’t drink anymore. He went to find He Chaoshu who was talking to someone, and said that he felt dizzy and wanted to rest first.        He Chaoshu was a little unhappy at first. Wen Jianing said that he would easily get messed up when he was drunk. He was afraid of doing something shameful, so He Chaoshu said that he can leave first.        He had just walked a few steps before Jiang Yongfei stopped him and told people that this was her junior brother, and Wen Jianing had another drink with her.        Walking out of the banquet hall, Wen Jianing felt dizzy. He said to He Chaoshu, “I’m going to the bathroom.” Then he walked to the bathroom that was not far away from the banquet hall by himself.        The whole bathroom was empty. Wen Jianing raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He habitually walked towards the compartment, but when he was about to close the door, someone broke in.        Wen Jianing was surprised. At this time, Lu Jinlang had reached out and locked the door of the compartment from the inside. At the same time, he hugged Wen Jianing from behind, held his jaw in one hand, raised his head and kissed his lips.        At the end of the kiss, Wen Jianing tried his best to push Lu Jinlang away slightly. He panted and leaned against the wall of the compartment, and said, “What did you give me to drink?”        Lu Jinlang was a little surprised. He said, “I brought back the fruit wine from Seychelles, but it was the first time I heard that there would be such an obvious reaction.”        Wen Jianing looked at him. In addition to dizziness, he also had some unspeakable irritability.        Lu Jinlang said, “Your body is too sensitive.”        Wen Jianing knew that he seemed very obvious*, he said, “Let me go, I want to go back.”        Lu Jinlang smiled, “Are you angry?”        Wen Jianing shook his head. At this time, he was not in the mood to deal with him. He could only suppress his irritability as much as possible. He stretched out his hand to pull the door lock of the compartment, but unexpectedly, Lu Jinlang suddenly held his hand and his body against the wall.        Wen Jianing’s eyes widened in surprise. His body was weak, and his head was dull because of the effect of alcohol. He subconsciously opened his mouth and wanted to call out for someone.        Lu Jinlang immediately put his hand over his mouth and whispered in his ear, “Shh— Are you sure you want everyone to know?” Before Wen Jianing reacted, Lu Jinlang stuck one leg in the middle of his knee and gently pushed it up.        Wen Jianing suddenly started to breathe heavily, and Lu Jinlang’s expression was obviously startled for a moment.        Wen Jianing gasped and let out a painful whimper like a wounded little animal. He clearly saw Lu Jinlang’s expression. Then Lu Jinlang pulled open the zipper of Wen Jianing’s pants amidst the confusion and amazement.        “Oh?” Lu Jinlang let out a meaningful low whistle in Wen Jianing’s ear. He was obviously surprised, but he did not move his hand away.        Following Lu Jinlang’s movements, Wen Jianing raised his head. He didn’t know whether it was more painful or more joyful to experience this. He thought that Lu Jinlang’s purpose was to humiliate him, and Lu Jinlang carried the humiliation until the end in this way.        Later, Lu Jinlang loosened his hand that was covering Wen Jianing’s mouth.        Wen Jianing tilted his head away. He had forgotten to struggle, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.        Lu Jinlang leaned in his ear and whispered, “Good, don’t let people outside hear it.”        At the moment when Lu Jinlang completely released him, Wen Jianing knelt down on the ground. He only felt that his head became dizzier. Just now it was like a tight string was suddenly broken when it was pulled to its maximum. Now, in addition to being pulled off, surprisingly there was a feeling of relaxation.        It was like he could just sit like this without caring or covering up anything. He didn’t have to be afraid of exposing anything in front of this person anymore.        Lu Jinlang stretched out to get some toilet paper and wiped his hand clean, then squatted down. He looked at Wen Jianing with no disgust on his face, but his face was full of interest. He stretched out his hand to help Wen Jianing carefully tidy up his pants. When he looked up at Wen Jianing’s face, he found that Wen Jianing had actually closed his eyes and had fallen asleep.        Wen Jianing actually almost passed out. In addition to the effects of alcohol, there were also mental and physical reasons.        Lu Jinlang took off his coat and put it on Wen Jianing, then carried him in his arms.        When he walked out of the bathroom door, Lu Jinlang saw He Chaoshu who had been waiting outside for Wen Jianing.        He Chaoshu obviously didn’t know what was going on. When he saw that Lu Jinlang carried the person out, he was a bit dumbfounded, and asked, “Is he dead drunk?”        Lu Jinlang shook his head, “I’ll take him home first, you don’t have to worry about it.”        Although He Chaoshu was someone who had a lot of work experience, he had never encountered such a situation, and he didn’t know how to deal with it. He could only stand in place and watch Lu Jinlang leave from an elevator that was secluded with Wen Jianing in his arms.        This whole night for Wen Jianing was more like a night of deep sleep. He didn’t even have a dream all night. The moment he gradually regained consciousness, he even thought he was back in his own home lying in his soft bed, and everything about Ke Xinhang was nothing but a dream……        But the reality did not intend to let him off easily. After he opened his eyes, he was stunned for a while before Wen Jianing realized that this was not his house, nor was it Ke Xinhang’s house. This was the guest room of Lu Jinlang’s house, and he had stayed here for one night.        After he woke up, the memory of last night gradually became clear. He moved his arm slightly and found that his clothes had been changed. Now he was wearing a set of soft silk pyjamas without even wearing underwear. He could feel the unique and comfortable touch of silk.        He lay in bed and didn’t want to move anymore. In fact, he was neither very sad nor very frightened. He just thought that there was no reason why Lu Jinlang would tell anyone about it, but he didn’t know what his plan was.        Just then, Wen Jianing heard the door open.        Lu Jinlang walked in wearing soft slippers, barely making any sounds.        When he sat down on the edge of the bed, Wen Jianing felt the mattress sink slightly to the side.        Lu Jinlang put a hand on the pillow and asked, “Are you awake?”        Wen Jianing didn’t speak or even turn his head to look at him. He told himself that as long as Lu Jinlang didn’t disclose it to others, he wouldn’t care what Lu Jinlang said or did.        Ke Xinhang’s physical abnormalities were innate and couldn’t be changed. He could only accept them and try to protect himself instead of feeling inferior for this.        Wen Jianing tried his best to do a psychological pep talk for himself. In fact, he just didn’t want to give up easily. After choosing this path again, he had imagined some possibilities. No matter what, he couldn’t be defeated now.        When Lu Jinlang saw Wen Jianing didn’t respond, he said, “Since you’re awake, get up for a cup of milk, or do you want to drink coffee?”        Wen Jianing turned his head and looked at him.        Lu Jinlang still had a glass of milk in his hand, and he waited patiently for Wen Jianing’s response.        Wen Jianing sat up, feeling a little dizzy when he got up, and his body swayed back slightly.        Lu Jinlang raised his hand to support his back, then leaned him on his shoulder, and then said, “The wine last night has a little aphrodisiac, but it really didn’t have such a good effect. Haven’t you touched it for a long time?**”        Wen Jianing didn’t want to talk about this to him. He leaned his head on Lu Jinlang’s shoulder, waiting for the dizziness to pass, thinking whether Ke Xinhang was anaemic. When he felt more relaxed, he reached for the milk in Lu Jinlang’s hand and drank it slowly.        Lu Jinlang reached out and stroked his hair and his cheek and asked him, “Do you feel better?”        Wen Jianing nodded.        After Wen Jianing finished drinking a glass of milk, he said to Lu Jinlang, “Mr. Lu, I want to take a bath.”        Lu Jinlang said, “Come with me, this room does not have a bathroom.” After that, Lu Jinlang stood up and stretched out a hand to Wen Jianing, trying to pull him.        Wen Jianing did not hold Lu Jinlang’s hand but stood directly on the ground from the bedside.        Lu Jinlang looked at him and said nothing.        Wen Jianing could only stop and wait for Lu Jinlang.        Lu Jinlang asked him, “Are you angry?”        Wen Jianing said, “I’m not angry, you can do whatever you want. Do I have the right to be angry?”        Lu Jinlang said, “Of course you do. There are some things that I didn’t expect, so I’m sorry. I thought it was just a happy thing that you wanted to do it with me.”        Wen Jianing squeezed his hands tightly and loosened them slowly. He said, “Yes, it’s quite a happy thing, and I have to  thank you for it.”        Lu Jinlang couldn’t hear what he said, but he didn’t say anything. He walked to Wen Jianing and took his hand, and led him towards the bathroom.        Going into the bathroom, Wen Jianing didn’t even deliberately ask Lu Jinlang to leave. When Lu Jinlang was in front of him, he began to take off his pyjamas. While undressing, Wen Jianing said, “I know what you want to see, and I can tell you that I have been like this since the day I was born. I am different from normal people, so I cover it up and don’t want others to know. But I don’t think this will deny my life.”        Lu Jinlang stood by the door, folded his arms on his chest, leaned against the door frame and stared at him.        Wen Jianing stripped himself naked. He said, “Maybe the most stupid thing about me is that I believe in you. Because I have always admired you. I think you are a great actor and a goal I worked hard for, and this turns out to be what you call not forcing?” This sentence was more or less Wen Jianing’s heartfelt thoughts.        Lu Jinlang walked in, stretched out his hand to turn on the shower, and then gently pulled Wen Jianing under the shower, regardless of the water on his clothes, and said, “You need to take a good shower now, don’t think about it too much.”        Wen Jianing didn’t say anything more.        Lu Jinlang said to him, “Call me if you need anything.” Then he walked outside and closed the door for him when he went out.        Wen Jianing leaned his back against the cold wall, calmed his fierce mood a little, raised his head and covered his face with his hands.

*I’m betting my non-existent money that this actually means that Wen Jianing is aroused because of the wine. The author might not say things explicitly because the author might get reported for explicit content. **Lu Jinlang was actually talking about Wen Jianing’s orga-m last night. His question is indirectly asking if he hasn’t f*pped for quite a time. Notes: Nope. I’m not translating and editing it until 11PM because this is special hoeni chapter when I have to go to work at 8AM in the morning tomorrow. Always drink in moderation guys! Knows your limit and never accept any drink from someone you don’t trust~ Also just saying, Lu Jinlang is not giving drugs to Wen Jianing’s drink, he just give him fruit wine he brought from Seychelles(that contains aphrodisiac, here some research about it) thinking that the effects wouldn’t be that potent…… ε- (´ー`*) Is he dumb or what….

       Wen Jianing knew that he had overreacted. He should have had a better way to deal with the situation just now, but he chose the most irrational way.

       The moment he fell to the ground, he saw a trace of confusion flash on Lu Jinlang’s face. So he tried to calm himself down and didn’t do anything that made Lu Jinlang suspicious.

       Wen Jianing quickly got up from the ground and wiped the water with his hands.

       Lu Jinlang sat on the sofa and looked at him for a while. He got up and brought him a clean towel.

       Wen Jianing took the towel and wiped the water on his body. At the same time, he constantly reminded himself not to do unnecessary moves, so as not to arouse Lu Jinlang’s suspicion.

       At this time, there was a knock on the waiting room’s door.

       Wen Jianing looked up towards the door.

       Lu Jinlang asked, “What’s the matter?”

       Song Dong’s voice came from outside. He said, “Jinlang, Miss Jiang Yongfei is here. She said that she would like to invite a few judges to dinner tonight.”

       Lu Jinlang looked at Wen Jianing after hearing the words.

       Jiang Yongfei was a young female singer who had become popular this year. The reason for her popularity was that she participated in a variety show on Starlight at the beginning of the year. Although her skill was far inferior to Xu Rujing and Wang Mei, she was far more popular and received more attention than them. 

       Jiang Yongfei suddenly appeared in this place, was not something to think about. It must be because she was the mysterious guest in this competition.

       Jiang Yongfei and Yi Nan rehearsed for most of the day. At this time, they took the initiative to greet the seniors and offered an invitation to have dinner together.

       Lu Jinlang heard the words and said, “Wait a minute.”

       Then he said to Wen Jianing, “Let’s go to dinner together.”

       Wen Jianing refused without thinking, “It’s not appropriate for me to come. You guys go eat, the competition is tomorrow, and I have to rest early today.”

       Lu Jinlang didn’t force him, and he found him a piece of clean clothes to change.

       Wen Jianing hesitated when Lu Jinlang took off his upper T-shirt and replaced it with the white shirt Lu Jinlang gave him.

       When he opened the door and came out, Wen Jianing saw Xu Rujing, Wang Mei and Jiang Yongfei standing in the corridor talking. When they saw Wen Jianing come out, Wang Mei and Jiang Yongfei didn’t react, but Xu Rujing smiled ambiguously. Because Wen Jianing stayed with Lu Jinlang for a while, and even changed his clothes.

       Wen Jianing calmly nodded and greeted several judges, and then walked outside, ignoring what they might think.

       That night, Wen Jianing calmed himself down to stop thinking about what happened and took a good rest for the whole night.

       At eight o’clock in the evening the next day, the competition officially began to broadcast live.

       The duet performance with the judges was put in the first part of the live broadcast, with Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang in the first order.

        Two people had a last rehearsal in the afternoon, and now they were performing officially and they were in very good condition. In fact, Wen Jianing had always given the impression that he was a player with very good performance on the field. Every time he performed on the stage, his state was better than his rehearsals. That was why he could go so far in the competition.

       In fact, this had something to do with Wen Jianing’s good acting skills and the fact that he never experienced stage fright.

       The performance of the whole song was about the despair of a man betrayed by his lover. He was full of resentment and believed that the other person must not be well off even after leaving him.

       Lu Jinlang’s singing seemed a little distant because of despair, and Wen Jianing’s singing was more of a feeling of giving up because of pain. The female dancer swayed between the two people. At the end of the song, she began to stand in the middle of the stage and dance solo. Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing both looked at her and sang the words of remembrance in the hope that she could still return to his side.

       The feedback received after the song ended was very good. Soon someone cut off this section and put it on the Internet, and Weibo started to forward it like crazy.

       But the real climax of the show was the duet between Yi Nan and Jiang Yongfei because Jiang Yongfei’s popularity had attracted a lot of attention to Yi Nan.

       According to the statistics of Wen Jianing’s fans, the volume of people forwarding this duet video of Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang on Weibo was a lot more than that of Yi Nan. Moreover, the number of comments far exceeds that of Yi Nan and the others.

       Although this was just an exhibition duet, it could be said that it might give some influence on the next official competition. At least the second round of the competition took into account the scoring of the judges and the voting of the on-site audience at the same time. Wen Jianing entered the finals and was placed third. The first and second are Yi Nan and Wen Lin respectively.

       After the results of the game came out, Wen Jianing felt that he was satisfied. All he wanted was to get here. He knows that it was almost impossible to release records in the market now. He was unwilling to walk outside without preparing for anything, waiting to be kicked off the market when he was no longer popular. He wanted to plan his own life properly.

       In front of the bathroom sink, Wen Jianing turned on the faucet and ran the water on the top of his head, washing away the hairspray and the foundation on his face. He did not want the unbearable fragrance to remain on himself.

       After washing his face, Wen Jianing looked up and saw his wet hair sticking to his face in the mirror. He looked a little haggard.

       He really wanted to talk to Wu Dongqin. No, Wu Dongqin was nothing. He wanted to find the manager of Lei Xing. He believed that he would have a good development if he was given a chance. But he knew better than anyone why the other party should listen to him? With so many beautiful and capable young men, why should he be given good resources?

       His only chance was probably with Lu Jinlang, but he couldn’t do it. Wen Jianing punched the glass mirror in front of him, and then reached out to wipe the water off his face.

       The day after the game ended, Lei Xing hurriedly recalled all of them to the company.

       Wen Jianing met Wen Lin when he arrived. Neither of them knew what was going on. However, after asking the staff about it, they finally knew that Lei Xing made a big progress today. The contract between Jiang Yongfei and her former talent agency company has expired, and so they signed Jiang Yongfei.

       Lei Xing was a new company. Now, in addition to signing this group of singers from the STS talent show, Jiang Yongfei was undoubtedly the biggest star the company has signed.

       Today, the company held a press conference to hold the contract signing ceremony, and called Yi Nan, Wen Jianing and the others back, purely to set the scene for Jiang Yongfei.

       Wen Jianing also met Lei Xing’s manager for the first time today. He was a middle-aged man who looked quite calm, wearing a pair of glasses, and slightly overweight.

       Throughout the conference, Wen Jianing and the others served as extras, but after the conference was over, Lei Xing’s manager Huang Gang interviewed Wen Jianing and a few of them.

       All of what was said earlier was some clichés. Later Huang Gang said that after the competition, he wanted Wen Jianing and Wen Lin to act in a combination and let them meet with their agent.

       Before Wen Jianing spoke, Wen Lin immediately said, “I’m afraid Ke Xinhang’s music style and mine are not very suitable.”

       Huang Gang waved his hand and said, “Your future development path plans are diverse. You will definitely lose money when you release an album this year. It is best to be able to star in an idol drama, then sing a theme song, the ending of a movie, and hit the charts. You can’t be too narrow-minded. I think both of you look good and you can double your popularity together. What’s wrong with that?”

       Wen Lin still tried to protest.

       Huang Gang was obviously a little unhappy, but he didn’t show it on his face. He replied to Wen Lin in a more perfunctory tone.

       In fact, Wen Jianing thinks that Huang Gang was right. The road of music that Wen Lin was dedicated to was the most difficult road in the entertainment industry. Even a singer who had been famous for many years couldn’t produce an album even after a few years, not to mention a newbie singer who had just emerged from a talent show. The company was willing to give him more ways to shoot some drama or something, which was already considered a good thing. If no one paid attention to him, they would probably pull him out for commercial performances everywhere, squeeze the remaining value and directly abandon him until there would be no news about him anymore.

       The agent that the company arranged for them was He Chaoshu. He was a middle-aged man who had brought some artists and had some personal connections. He must have been dug up by Lei Xing from outside.

       He Chaoshu’s subordinates not only took the two of them but also took care of Yi Nan.

       Lei Xing had just spent a lot of money to sign Jiang Yongfei. It was believed that everything would revolve around Jiang Yongfei in the future, and even Yi Nan would have to take a back seat.

       After the press conference that night, Lei Xing hosted a small dinner to welcome Jiang Yongfei.

       Wen Jianing changed into the suit prepared by the company for him. When he came out of the dressing room, he heard He Chaoshu swearing and losing his temper. It turned out that Wen Lin left without even saying hello.

       Wen Jianing felt that Wen Lin was making a bad impression of himself. He felt that He Chaoshu’s temper was completely understandable, but he still need to take care of himself and did not have much energy to care about Wen Lin’s emotions.

       Although the welcome banquet at night was small, it was still stellar.

       In order to welcome Jiang Yongfei, the company was naturally willing to sacrifice money, and Jiang Yongfei also invited many of her friends to attend.

       Wen Jianing saw that she had invited all the judges of the Voice of Soul yesterday, and even Lu Jinlang, several brothers and sisters in the music and film circles even came to show some appreciation to Jiang Yongfei.

       But Wen Jianing didn’t know that Lu Jinlang’s purpose to come may not be to give some appreciation to Jiang Yongfei.

       At this time, Wen Jianing felt a little hungry. He didn’t have time for dinner, but when he saw the food on the banquet table, he didn’t have the nerve to stand beside the table and gulped down some food.

       The company somewhat used Jiang Yongfei’s popularity to introduce Yi Nan and Wen Jianing to their business relations.

       So from time to time, Wen Jianing would be called to drink two glasses of baijiu with someone.

       When he was free, he walked to the table alone and wanted to fork a veal steak to eat. Lu Jinlang walked to him with a glass of wine and asked, “Is it delicious?”

       Wen Jianing glanced at him and said, “It’s not bad. Try it.”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Feed me?”

       Wen Jianing lowered his head and said, “I wouldn’t dare. Do you know how many eyes you have attracted when you come over and talk to me now?”

       Lu Jinlang smiled. He walked to the table next to him and picked up two glasses of wine, then gave a glass to Wen Jianing and said, “Can you have a drink with me then?”

       Wen Jianing took it, clinked glasses with him, and drank it in one gulp.

       After drinking this glass of wine, Lu Jinlang stopped standing with Wen Jianing and walked away alone.

       But after that, Wen Jianing found that people came to him for a drink one after another. He was a newcomer in the company, and everyone else was polite, and he couldn’t refuse it when they were toasting while speaking of him highly.

       After drinking seven or eight cups in succession, Wen Jianing felt that something was wrong, and he turned his head and scanned the entire banquet hall.

       Lu Jinlang stood in the corner, smiling and raising his cup to him.

       It’s a pity that his gaze was out of focus at that time, and his gaze swept over without noticing anything.

       Back inside the house, Lu Jinlang went up to the second floor and went into the piano room just now. When Wen Jianing followed in, he saw Lu Jinlang sitting next to the piano.

       Lu Jinlang gently put his fingers on the keys, and the notes slowly flowed out of his fingertips. Wen Jianing could see that he had learned to play the piano. He might not be so professional and the rhythm was not very good, but the whole tune was still smooth.

       There were too many things about Lu Jinlang that Wen Jianing wasn’t sure about.

       He was playing the song they were about to sing in the next competition. After the prelude was over, Lu Jinlang sang softly with the sound of the piano.

       He sang somewhat intermittently, because he couldn’t pay attention to both singing and playing the piano, so he was distracted a lot. Lu Jinlang’s voice was deep and magnetic. Although his singing skills were very mediocre, because of his good voice, this song naturally has a bit more flavour.

       Wen Jianing sat on the sofa and listened quietly to Lu Jinlang singing.

       In fact, the atmosphere was very profound. He felt that if he were a woman, he might not be able to resist Lu Jinlang. In other words, if he were not Wen Jianing, who was 34 this year, but was 20 years old Ke Xinhang, he might just leave everything behind.

       But he was not a man of that age anymore after all. He would not easily fall into a relationship, and similarly, he believed that Lu Jinlang would not either. Therefore, no matter how tender this moment was, it would hurt people once the novelty wore off and the interest fades.

       In addition to his physical defects, he had to be careful all the time and everywhere.

       After he finished singing the song, Lu Jinlang asked him, “For real? You didn’t feel anything at all?”

       Wen Jianing said, “I can manage. You are not rare after all.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled and asked, “Then what can you manage to give? A kiss?”

       Wen Jianing didn’t say a word as a tacit consent.

       Lu Jinlang waved to him, “Come on, it’s better than nothing.”

       Wen Jianing stood up, walked over to Lu Jinlang, leaned in and kissed him lightly on his lips. When Lu Jinlang wanted to deepen the kiss, he left.

       Lu Jinlang was not angry he did that. He sat on the piano stool, looked at him and said, “It was getting late. Go and have a rest.”

       When Wen Jianing was standing in front of the guest room and about to close the door, Lu Jinlang kissed his lips again and said, “Good night.”

       Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Good night.”

       When he was closing the door, Wen Jianing suddenly found that he felt very natural about the kiss just now, as if they should get along like that. He couldn’t help smiling and shaking his head and reminding himself not to be boiled to death by Lu Jinlang’s warm water.*

       The next morning, Lu Jinlang still asked Lu Yunan to send Wen Jianing back. This time, they went back separately. The two didn’t meet until they began rehearsing the dance the day before the competition.

       Wen Jianing’s dancing part has been rehearsed many times before. Today, it was mainly about rehearsing Lu Jinlang’s part and Wen Jianing accompanying his position.

       Lu Jinlang was not good at dancing, but his physical performance ability was very strong. The dance teacher asked him to do an elegant gesture of pushing the dancer away, and he could really do it with great grace.

       One of the movements was that the sexy dancer leaned on his chest, raised her head and stretched out her hand to touch his face. One of his hands should slide along the lower jaw of the dancer to her chest.

       After Lu Jinlang finished it, the dance teacher whistled and shouted praise.

       Then the dancer slowly released Lu Jinlang’s hand and walked toward Wen Jianing. She hugged Wen Jianing’s shoulders. Wen Jianing held her waist with one hand and raised her leg with the other. With one leg hooked around Wen Jianing’s waist, the two clung to each other.

       At this time, the dance teacher shouted, “Xinhang, move more naturally!”

       It turned out that Wen Jianing was deliberately avoiding their two bodies from being too close to one another. He always couldn’t help bending slightly to prevent his lower body from touching the female dancer.

       The dance teacher came over. He was very satisfied with Wen Jianing’s previous performance. The only thing was that he felt that the other party was too restrained and he personally demonstrated it to Wen Jianing. His body was close to the female dancer and said to Wen Jianing, “See? Just be natural and don’t be shy!”

       Wen Jianing was not shy. He just cared about his body.

       At this time, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Jinlang. Lu Jinlang was drinking water and noticed that he was looking at him, so he also looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

       In the end, Wen Jianing failed to overcome the psychological barrier. The dance teacher felt that the action was really unsightly, so he changed the action and didn’t force him.

       After the rehearsal, Lu Jinlang said to Wen Jianing on his way to the lounge, “Let’s eat dinner together later.”

       Wen Jianing agreed.

       He was sweating all over. When he saw no one in the bathroom, he took a bath first. When he came out and changed his clothes, he sat in the dressing room waiting for Lu Jinlang’s call, but he waited for nearly half an hour and there was still nothing.

       Wen Jianing suddenly wondered if Lu Jinlang just said it casually. He might’ve forgotten about asking him for dinner and left by himself.

       He got up, cleaned up his things, and decided not to wait here. He picked up his bag and walked towards Lu Jinlang’s waiting room.

       When he got closer, he saw Lu Jinlang’s agent Song Dong and Xu Rujing’s agent Zhou Yali standing in the corridor outside the waiting room.

       Song Dong was smoking while joking around, talking and laughing. Suddenly, he saw Zhou Yali turn her head to look his way, so his eyes followed her.

       The moment when he saw Wen Jianing, Song Dong’s face didn’t look so good. He asked in a cold voice, “Who are you looking for?”

       Wen Jianing knew Song Dong’s character. To put it nicely, he was observant of people’s words and expressions. To put it badly, he was someone who looked down on people. He didn’t get angry either. He stopped and asked, “Is Mr. Lu there?”

       Song Dong said, “What do you want?”

       Wen Jianing just said, “Mr. Lu knows. Is he inside?”

       Zhou Yali stood by as if she was watching a comedy.

       Song Dong felt that he shouldn’t be fooled by this brat’s words. He had to help Lu Jinlang check it, so he asked, “What does Mr. Lu know? Do you know how many things Mr. Lu has in a day? How can he remember what appointment he has with you?”

       “What’s with the noise?” Xu Rujing opened the door of her own lounge next to her.

       Today all these judges joined the rehearsal on the TV station, and even the mysterious guest seemed to have arrived, but Wen Jianing didn’t see who it was.

       When Xu Rujing saw Wen Jianing, she smiled kindly and said, “Xiao Ke, what’s the matter?”

       Wen Jianing was naturally polite to Xu Rujing and said, “I’m looking for Mr. Lu.”

       Xu Rujing knew that Lu Jinlang was not very open about Wen Jianing, so she said to Song Dong, “Tell Jinlang that his little friend is here to see him.”

       Song Dong couldn’t refute Xu Rujing, so he knocked on the door of Lu Jinlang’s waiting room with reluctance.

       Lu Jinlang said, “Come in.”

       Song Dong opened the door and told Lu Jinlang that a contestant named Ke Xinhang wanted to see him.

       Lu Jinlang said, “Let him in.”

       Song Dong then let Wen Jianing in. He wanted to follow him but was stopped by Lu Jinlang’s stare.

       Song Dong closed the door, saw Zhou Liya enter Xu Rujing’s waiting room next door, and then closed the door. He knew that the two of them were definitely going to talk about Lu Jinlang’s affair, and suddenly felt uneasy.

       Wen Jianing went into Lu Jinlang’s waiting room and saw him on the phone.

       Lu Jinlang asked Wen Jianing to sit on the sofa and wait for him. He was on the phone for a while before hanging up. Then he sat down next to the sofa and asked, “What’s going on today?”

       Wen Jianing did not answer.

       Lu Jinlang suddenly reached out and grabbed Wen Jianing’s hand that was on his own knee, turned it over and looked at it, and then he realized that Wen Jianing’s hands were white and slender, with round nails and delicate skin. To be honest, if it weren’t for the fingers, they would look more like women’s hands.

       Wen Jianing didn’t know what Lu Jinlang was thinking. He just watched him look at his hand carefully, so he couldn’t help curling up his fingers and said, “Nothing.”

        “You don’t like women?” Lu Jinlang asked according to his own understanding.

       Wen Jianing glanced at him after hearing this, and said: “I don’t like men either.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled, “Then why did you kiss me?”

       Wen Jianing wanted to say that he even kissed his dog. But when the words reached his lips, he wondered why he should offend Lu Jinlang, so he didn’t say anything.

       Lu Jinlang held his hand and suddenly exerted some strength. He pulled him up and made him sit on his thigh.

       Wen Jianing immediately wanted to stand up, but Lu Jinlang held him with great strength. Struggling in this position would embarrass both of them. He struggled for a while and was hugged by Lu Jinlang with an arm on his waist, so he didn’t try hard anymore. He just panted slightly and said, “Is Mr. Lu going to be a troublemaker in public?”

       Lu Jinlang pinched his chin with one hand, turned his face around, and asked, “Are you going to scream?”

       Wen Jianing squinted his gaze and glanced at him. It’s hard to tell how angry he is.

       Lu Jinlang suddenly moved his hand to touch his jaw. He said, “Your chin feels very smooth, like a woman.”

       Wen Jianing’s complexion suddenly changed. He forced to turn his face away and broke away from Lu Jinlang’s hand.

       At this time, Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it down. At the same time, he joked, “Are you really not a woman?”

       Wen Jianing tried his best this time and broke free from Lu Jinlang. Then he took two steps back in panic and tripped over the tea table next to the sofa. At the same time, the teacup next to the tea table fell off and all the tea was spilt on him.

*to be boiled by someone’s warm water basically means to die miserably because of someone’s kindness

Notes: It tooks me hours and back and forth conversation with my friend to get the conversation between Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing in the piano room right. I hope it’s not weird….

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

       Right now there were only four male and one female contestant left. According to the program group’s plan, of course, the combination of men and women was the best in terms of program effects and all aspects, but now there were two male judges. Even if the invited guest was a woman, it was inevitable that a male contestant needed to form a group with a male judge.

       When the director was announcing the choice of partners to the contestants, the camera next to them was still shooting.

       Wen Jianing’s partner was the last to announce because he was sitting in the most side corner, but there was no suspense. When he heard that Yi Nan’s partner was a mysterious guest, Ni Xiaoyan was in a group with An Yongkang, he guessed that he couldn’t run away from Lu Jinlang anymore.

       However, in various senses, including the topic of the program, his being paired with Lu Jinlang was a good choice.

       The only trouble was that Lu Jinlang was not a professional singer, nor was he. Two amateurs came together to form a group. He was afraid there would be a gap between their group’s singing with the other group.

       But the good thing was that Lu Jinlang wouldn’t be able to beat his singing level.

       Wen Jianing was mentally calculating the pros and cons in his heart. When he saw Yi Nan glancing at him as he passed by after the recording, he couldn’t help but think that the program team really took care of Yi Nan and gave him the most eye-catching mysterious guest as a partner. At that time, when the time came for the official performance, he believed the response would be very good.

       With this as the highlight of this game, it seemed that the official match repertoire was not given much attention. The time for rehearsing with Lu Jinlang was not long, it should be arranged in full accordance with the other party’s schedule, so he could only coordinate the time by himself and practice the competition performance alone.

       But Emperor Lu easily spared some time to rehearse with Wen Jianing.

       Wen Jianing was waiting for him in the practice room early that day. The performance had been discussed between Wen Jianing and the instructor. Today, he only needed to seek Lu Jinlang’s opinion.

       Lu Jinlang didn’t let him wait too long. He dressed very casually today and wore a pair of sunglasses. He looked like a young man who had just graduated from college.

       The selected song was a popular song, suited to Lu Jinlang’s singing level. The song was not difficult, the singing range was relatively wide, and the lyrics were more interesting. The song’s content was basically a complaint and anger of a lovelorn man being abandoned by his girlfriend. However, in the last lyrics, he affectionately said that if she was willing to come back, he would forgive her.

       In order to make the whole performance look interesting, a female dancer was interspersed to accompany the two people. When Lu Jinlang sang, she needed to dance with Wen Jianing; and when Wen Jianing sang, she wandered around Lu Jinlang. With the lyrics of the song, the whole stage performance will look very interesting.

       Lu Jinlang didn’t have much time to rehearse. He could only talk briefly about his singing part, and then take away the song list and said that he would go back to practice by himself. As for the dance part, he needed to wait one or two days before the official competition to participate in the rehearsal.

       Wen Jianing understood Lu Jinlang’s position and status, and how difficult it was for him to do this. When Lu Jinlang left, he was accompanied by the other staff to escort him out.

       Lu Jinlang stood at the door, and said to Wen Jianing, “Work hard.”

       Wen Jianing respectfully replied, “Thank you, Coach Lu.”

       Lu Jinlang raised his hand and waved, and the tip of his finger accidentally touched Wen Jianing’s face.

       Wen Jianing didn’t know it was a deliberate action, so he could only pretend that he didn’t understand anything.

       After Lu Jinlang left, the music instructor Zou Tong patted him on the shoulder and whispered, “Don’t be discouraged, other big stars didn’t have so much time to rehearse with the contestants. Practice well yourself and don’t count on him completely.”

       Zou Tong has always liked Wen Jianing because he thought Wen Jianing was sensible and obedient.

       Wen Jianing nodded and thanked Zou Tong.

       At the end of the rehearsal that day, when Wen Jianing was packing up in the dressing room to go back, he suddenly received a call from Lu Jinlang.

       Upon receiving the call, Wen Jianing answered politely, “Hello.” He didn’t even dare to call out Mr. Lu, because as soon as he answered the phone, Yi Nan who was standing next to him turned to look at him.  When he heard his respectful attitude, he looked at Wen Jianing curiously.

       Lu Jinlang said, “Go downstairs to the parking lot now. Yunan will wait for you there.”

       Wen Jianing hurriedly asked, “Where to? Is there anything wrong?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “You only have the right to choose whether to come or not. It’s up to you.” With that, Lu Jinlang hung up the phone.

       Wen Jianing stared at the dark mobile phone screen and hesitated, but he still picked up his backpack and walked out. He felt that what Lu Jinlang said was wrong. He didn’t even have the right to choose not to go.

       Lu Yunan’s attitude towards him was as polite as ever.

       Wen Jianing got into the car and asked Lu Yunan, “Where are we going now?”

       Lu Yunan said, “We’re going to Mr. Lu’s house.”

       Wen Jianing was a little surprised. He didn’t understand what was going on when Lu Jinlang asked him to go there. And he noticed that Lu Yunan was not driving the car in the direction of Lu Jinlang’s apartment in the centre of the city. Looking at the direction taken, it was more like he was going to Lu Jinlang’s villa on the outskirts of the city.

       Wen Jianing knew the approximate location of Lu Jinlang’s home because his other friends lived in this villa area. When they came over, the friend once pointed out to him that the three-story villa was Lu Jinlang’s house.

       After Lu Yunan stopped the car, he directly opened the door and asked Wen Jianing to go upstairs by himself.

       Wen Jianing, who was still carrying his backpack, hesitated. He took off his shoes at the door and walked barefoot towards the stairs. He vaguely heard the sound of a piano on the second floor, so he followed the sound to find it.

       Finally, when he arrived at the front of a room with a door open, he saw a warm yellow light coming out of the room.

       Wen Jianing knocked on the door, and then heard Lu Jinlang inside say, “Come in.”

       When he opened the door, he saw a piano in the middle of the room, a small pub table on the right, a table and sofa in front, like a scene of a miniature bar. The wall in the room is covered by the glass from the floor to the ceiling. The whole room looked very bright.*

       At this time, Lu Jinlang was sitting on the sofa, and Wen Jianing saw a familiar middle-aged man playing the piano. He was a very talented music producer named Tan Yangxi.

       Lu Jinlang waved to Wen Jianing.

       Wen Jianing quietly walked to Lu Jinlang and sat down, trying not to disturb Tan Yangxi.

       Lu Jinlang stood up and poured him a cup of coffee from the coffee pot on the bar.

       Wen Jianing nodded his head to express his thanks.

       At this time Tan Yangxi finished playing a song, and Lu Jinlang smiled and clapped his hands. Wen Jianing stood up quickly and greeted Tan Yangxi, “Hello, Teacher Tan.”

       Tan Yangxi was a gentle person. He smiled and nodded to Wen Jianing, and said, “I watched your show. My wife likes you very much.”

       Wen Jianing smiled embarrassedly.

       Lu Jinlang picked up a glass water cup and was going to pour water for Tan Yangxi, but Wen Jianing stepped forward and took it from his hand. His fingers accidentally touched Lu Jinlang’s hand and said, “I’ll do it.”

       He poured a glass of water for Tan Yangxi, who thanked him politely.

       Lu Jinlang said, “Yangxi is my good friend. I specially invited him here today. You can ask him if you have any questions about the song in the next game.”

       Wen Jianing couldn’t help looking at Lu Jinlang when he heard it.

       Lu Jinlang was not looking at him. At this time, he was sitting by the bar, concentrating on making coffee.

       Tan Yangxi said to Lu Jinlang, “I heard that you are going to be on stage too. Don’t you have something you want to ask me?”

       Lu Jinlang raised his eyes and said, “My purpose on stage is to make him look good. If you train him well, you can treat it as helping me.”

       Tan Yangxi then pulled out the score that Lu Jinlang had handed him, and said to Wen Jianing, “Is this the song?”

       Wen Jianing nodded and said, “There is another song, which is the official competition piece.”

       Tan Yangxi said, “One song at a time.”

       In the middle of the conversation between the two, Lu Jinlang opened the door and went out.

       Wen Jianing concentrated on asking Tan Yangxi for advice, and he couldn’t help but paid attention to Lu Jinlang, but Lu Jinlang never came back.

       Time passed by without him noticing. When Wen Jianing took the time to raise his head and move his stiff neck, he found that the sky was completely dark.

       Tan Yangxi noticed that he was distracted, stopped and said to him, “Let’s rest.”

       Wen Jianing felt terribly hungry when he heard Tan Yangxi say this. The two of them went down from the second floor together and smelled an aroma from the kitchen on the first floor.

       Wen Jianing walked over and saw Lu Yunan cooking pasta inside.

       The cooked pasta was brought to the table, Wen Jianing sat down and took a bite, raised his head and exclaimed to Lu Yunan, “It’s delicious, Mr. Lu’s cooking skills are very good.”

       Lu Yunan said, “The sauce was stir-fried by Mr. Lu¹he was referring to Lu Jinlang.”

       Wen Jianing mouthed “Oh?” with a bit of surprise, Tan Yangxi next to him said, “Jinlang’s cooking skills are very good, and he also loves to do this. Today we are blessed with good food.”

       Wen Jianing really didn’t know these things. In the past, when they were filming together, Lu Jinlang wouldn’t show this side for him to see.

       After eating, Tan Yangxi offered to take a short break.

       Wen Jianing nodded, and then asked Lu Yunan, “Where is Mr. Lu?”

       Lu Yunan replied, “He’s mostly on the terrace on the roof.”

       Wen Jianing walked to the roof terrace and saw Lu Jinlang sitting on a recliner, smoking a cigarette while reading the script. Such days were actually what he missed most; a leisurely life while doing his favourite work.

       Wen Jianing stood by the door and watched for a while, He didn’t go to disturb him, but went back and continued to practice with Tan Yangxi.

       Tan Yangxi didn’t leave until late that night.

       Lu Jinlang personally escorted him to the parking place outside the villa and said, “Just sleep here. There are many guest rooms.”

       Tan Yangxi refused, “My wife will be angry, you know her.”

       Lu Jinlang put one hand on the door of the car and put the other hand in the pocket of his pants. He smiled, “Okay, be careful on the road,” and then helped him close the door.

       Tan Yangxi waved to him from the car window, then waved to Wen Jianing, who was standing behind Lu Jinlang and started the car to leave.

       Lu Jinlang then turned to look at Wen Jianing.

       Wen Jianing actually wanted to leave, but he was embarrassed to make Tan Yangxi send him off. At this time, he could only wait for Lu Jinlang to say something.

       Lu Jinlang said to him, “You are not going to say thank you?”

       Wen Jianing took a deep breath, bow down and said to Lu Jinlang, “Thank you, Mr. Lu.”

       Lu Jinlang curled his lips and grinned, and walked past him straight into the room.

       Wen Jianing had no choice but to follow him back.

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

       Wen Jianing was still panting slightly, he looked at Lu Jinlang, and moved a little further back.

       Lu Jinlang did not continue to approach, but leaned back on the back of the sofa chair and asked him a question, “Have you ever thought about winning this competition?”

       Wen Jianing was actually a little surprised. He said, “You can make me win the competition?”

       He thought that Lu Jinlang wouldn’t be unaware that Yi Nan’s winning was already determined.

       Lu Jinlang smiled and said, “Of course what I offer is more worthy than being a champion by far.”

       Wen Jianing said, “So what do you want? Me to sleep with you?”

       Lu Jinlang didn’t speak, neither admitted nor denied.

       Wen Jianing then said, “I don’t want to win this competition, I want a role in ‘October Fireworks’.”

       This time it was Lu Jinlang’s turn who was taken aback. He was slightly surprised and looked at him.

       Wen Jianing added another sentence before he spoke, “The male lead.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled when he heard the words, “Well, what a big appetite*.”

       Wen Jianing just looked at him.

        Lu Jinlang said, “It’s not impossible, but do you think it’s enough to just sleep with me to get it?”

       Wen Jianing asked, “Then you can state your conditions.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled, and before Wen Jianing had time to react, he leaned into his ear and said, “Of course, naturally I should be able to sleep with you as much as I want.”

       After saying that, Lu Jinlang sat back again.

       The right to choose was thrown back to Wen Jianing by Lu Jinlang, but Wen Jianing did not take the bait. He said, “I want the ‘October Fireworks’ directed by Fang Wei.” Maybe Lu Jinlang has the ability to make Wen Jianing be part of ‘October Fireworks’, but he believed that Fang Wei was someone he couldn’t buy. Wen Jianing knew Fang Wei’s character, and that he was notoriously picky about the script and the actors. From shooting to the official release of his movie, every step was carefully planned by him, and it took a long time. For such a reason, it was impossible for Fang Wei to accept a small actor he had never heard of.

       Sure enough, Lu Jinlang tilted his head and said, “This is a bit difficult.”

       Wen Jianing couldn’t help but form a curve on the corner of his mouth.

       Lu Jinlang said, “But it’s not entirely impossible. It’s just that for the time being, I couldn’t think of what you can give in return for what I did, so—” He shook his head.

       This negotiation did not allow the two people to reach an agreement.

       Lu Jinlang stood up, took the towel and walked toward the bathroom. At the same time, he said, “Get some rest. I will ask Yunan to pick you up tomorrow morning.”

       He took Wen Jianing to a guest room to rest. When Wen Jianing was about to lock the door, Lu Jinlang knocked on the door and handed him a glass of water. “Because you drink too much wine, you might get thirsty at night. Go place a glass of water.”

       Wen Jianing asked when he took it over, “Are you this considerate to everyone?”

       Lu Jinlang smiled and said, “Of course it’s only for a special person.”

       After that, Wen Jianing closed the door, placed the water glass on the bedside table, and then sat on the edge of the bed.

       It was only now that he was alone that he felt like being in a strange dream, that he had kissed Lu Jinlang and was now about to sleep in the guestroom of Lu Jinlang’s house.

       Until he was lying in bed, Wen Jianing found that he couldn’t calm down his thoughts. He thought about Lu Jinlang again and again. He recalled the female celebrity who had been rumoured with Lu Jinlang in the past and remembered what Lu Jinlang told him just now and his ambiguous smile.

       Lu Jinlang now and the one he had known before seem different as if they are two different people.

       Wen Jianing placed the cup on the table and covered his head, telling himself to stop thinking about it, and that he should go to bed. But it was still a long time before he really fell asleep later. That night, he kept dreaming, as if he had returned to the stage and the wine table, and the messy pictures flashed continuously.

       The next morning, Wen Jianing was awakened by the sound of a knock on the door.

       He sat up from bed, was dazed for a few seconds, and then walked to the door to open it.

       Lu Jinlang handed him a set of clean clothes from the outside and asked him to change by himself.

       Wen Jianing took it over and found that it was a whole set of new clothes. The labels had not been cut off. They were all bought according to his size.

       After he changed his clothes and came out of the room, Wen Jianing saw that Lu Yunan was putting the breakfast he brought on the table. Only did he realise that Lu Yunan was the one who brought him this set of clothes early in the morning.

       Lu Jinlang sat at the table and greeted him to come over for breakfast.

       Facing Lu Yunan, Wen Jianing still felt a little embarrassed. He didn’t know what the other party thinks of him, but on the surface, he seemed very calm. After walking to the table, he took the porridge handed by Lu Yunan and said thank you.

       Lu Jinlang and Lu Yunan talked about today’s schedule. After listening to Lu Yunan telling him about his afternoon work, he said to Wen Jianing, “Yunan will send you back later.”

       Wen Jianing put down the spoon and said, “Thank you.”

       Lu Yunan replied politely, “You’re welcome, Mr. Ke.”

       After they ate, Lu Yunan was waiting for Wen Jianing by the door, as if urging him to leave quickly.

       Then Wen Jianing said goodbye to Lu Jinlang.

       Lu Jinlang raised his hand, and when Wen Jianing was about to leave the house, Lu Jinlang said, “What I said last night is valid for a long time, so think about it.”

       “Okay,” Wen Jianing said, “I will seriously consider it.”

       Even if Wen Jianing said he would consider it seriously, he actually didn’t intend to consider agreeing to Lu Jinlang. Although he also felt that Lu Jinlang’s proposal was very tempting. At a moment last night, Wen Jianing even thought that if Lu Jinlang could give him the role of the male lead in ‘October Fireworks’, then he might as well agree.

       Luckily, Lu Jinlang didn’t think too far to that point**, so he could avoid unnecessary entanglement.

       As for the other requests made by Lu Jinlang, in Wen Jianing’s view, it was a clear indication that he wanted to support him. As long as he agreed, he would be able to give him a chance to be a leading actor. Although it would not be ‘October Fireworks’, it could be something else.

       After thinking for a long time, Wen Jianing felt that he still needs to be a person who adhered to his bottom line.

       At the end of the ten-to-five knockout round, the whole dressing room was half deserted. There was no need to wait in line for other people like it was during rehearsal, and it felt a bit strangely deserted.

       There were four male players and one female player in the top five.

       In between the live broadcast of the next knockout game, the first thing they have to do was to shoot promotional videos.

       This episode of the promotional video was shot next to a swimming pool. The theme was young people who were sunny, healthy and enthusiastic. At the same time, the theme song MV of the program “Soul Voice” would be filmed and released as a single.

       This time, the female contestants were wearing swimsuits inside and floral shirts and skirts outside, while the male contestants were dressed in floral shirts and boxer shorts.

       Wen Jianing specially wore an extra pair of swimming trunks under his shorts to guard against any possible accidents.

       For this episode of the promo, Wen Jianing has been a bit tense when shooting, but his nervousness didn’t seem too obvious compared with several other people who were not good at acting.

       Fortunately, although there were shots where the shirt was opened, there was no shot that made him go into the water. There was only one shot of him sitting on the edge of the pool, and then Wen Lin came over and sat on his back, and then it developed into a slapstick shot of several people pressing on him together.

       During the shooting, the only female contestant Ni Xiaoyan came over, stretched out her arm and compared it with Wen Jianing, saying, “Your skin looks fairer than me.”

       Wen Jianing smiled and didn’t say anything. His pale skin probably had something to do with Ke Xinhang’s physique. Even if he was under the sun, he would not get tan so easily.

       After shooting this cheerful promo, everyone’s mood was still a little high. Several people raised the assistant director aside and threw him into the swimming pool.

       Wen Jianing originally stood by and watched. He didn’t know who pushed him from behind and pushed him into the water.

       He knew how to swim, and the water in the swimming pool was not deep. After he sank into the water, he raised his hand and wiped his face with his hand.

       Later, Wen Jianing found that a young female staff member at the swimming pool was taking pictures of him with her mobile phone.

       He was not unhappy about it, but he refused to come up from the swimming pool until he asked the staff for a big towel. As soon as he got ashore, he wrapped his lower body and walked toward the dressing room.

       Later, the female staff member who took the video with her mobile phone sent the video to the Internet, and sent more than ten exclamation marks in a row, saying: Ke Xinhang is really handsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

       Although the young man in the video had his entire face wet with water and his hair was smoothed to the back of his head, his facial features were exceptionally beautiful, his entire face was well-defined, and his smile was bright and sunny.

       Now, Ke Xinhang’s fans on the Internet have grown to a large scale. They even formed a fan group spontaneously. They usually publish news of Ke Xinhang, and some people would organize to watch the scene at the TV station or stay at the door of the TV station to take pictures of Ke Xinhang.

       Anyway, several contestants participating in the STS talent show are popular. As for whether it was just short-lived fame, up to now, no one could say clearly.

        The next game was a five-to-three knockout round.

       There were fewer players. In order to maintain the length and brilliance of the whole game, the program team had to think of more rich performance content to fill in.

       So this time, in addition to the competition, the judges were invited to sing a song with the contestants. Of course, this song was only for show and was not included in the later formal competition.

       Four judges and five contestants, so the program group invited a famous singer as a special guest. And the program team took this as a publicity gimmick. The real identity of the guests would not be announced until the day of live broadcasting.

       However, the players didn’t really need to wait until the performance day to know, after all, they still had to go through rehearsals before they would officially perform. This time, it was not up to the contestants to decide which judge to sing with, but the program group would manage the arrangement.

       As for this unique arrangement, of course, the director asked for the opinions of several judges and then decided through discussion.

       Moreover, the program team would film the announcement of the ensemble choice and the rehearsal process and broadcast them as show highlights.

       After Wen Jianing heard the program group’s arrangement, he couldn’t stop himself from guessing whether Lu Jinlang would choose to sing with him.

       He thought Lu Jinlang might want to avoid suspicion, but based on Lu Jinlang’s previous demeanour, he was not a person who would pay attention to avoid suspicion. It seemed possible for Lu Jinlang to choose him.

The author has something to say:
What else needs to be explained? I have explained Wen xiao shou’s physiological structure clearly enough, do I have to draw a schematic diagram…

---

*What a big appetite means that Lu Jinlang is saying Wen Jianing have a big ambition.
**Actually the real translation of “Lu Jinlang didn’t think too far to that point” is Luckily he didn’t have the sperm on his brain which translated to he didn’t think too far to that point (thanks to my friend Trin clarification, tehe~) It’s a way for Wen Jianing to sarcastically say that Lu Jinlang is basically brainless

Notes: …. I developed a stye…. probably because I’ve been spending too much time on the laptop… so I planned to rest 1-2 days, and I will continue the steady release of minimum 2 chapters/day so I can get to chapter 55 soon… I’m not planning to drop it, and will continue posting the previous translation to reach the danmeimtl’s version before continuing to ch 56. After that I will drop 10 chaps in one go ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭*

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

       Wen Jianing was supported by Lu Yunan and carried into Lu Jinlang’s car. Today, Lu Yunan didn’t drive Lu Jinlang’s luxurious nanny car but instead drove a low-key car.

       Although Wen Jianing pretended to lie unconsciously on the table, he did drink a lot, and his mind was not really sober.

       He sat in the back seat of the car with Lu Jinlang, and Lu Yunan started the car in the front driver’s seat.

       Wen Jianing felt that he was a little slow in thinking right now. After he got in the car, he stared at Lu Jinlang blankly.

       Lu Jinlang looked at him calmly and asked, “What are you looking at me for?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Do you think I am not as good as you?”

       Lu Jinlang laughed when he heard his question, but he didn’t say anything. He raised his hand and brushed Wen Jianing’s hair.

       He sat in the back seat of the car with Lu Jinlang, and Lu Yunan started the car in the front driver’s seat.

       Wen Jianing raised his eyes and looked up. No one had done this to him for many years. Since his mother re-married and left home.

       Sometimes, people like to be treated as children by others, especially when they were vulnerable.

       It was already late at night. Lu Yunan was driving along the empty street. Wen Jianing stared at Lu Jinlang for a while and began to feel a little uncomfortable in his stomach. It was probably because he drank too much.

       He reached out to find the switch and pressed the window down, but he fumbled for a long time in the dark and couldn’t find it.

       Lu Jinlang suddenly leaned over, and one arm went around him and helped him press down the car window’s button.

       Wen Jianing tensed his body.

      After Lu Jinlang helped him push down the car window, he sat up straight again. However, at that moment he still clearly felt Wen Jianing’s nervousness. He asked him, “What are you nervous about?”

       Wen Jianing shook his head. He closed his eyes and let the wind out of the car window blow on his face. He told himself not to think about anything so as not to vomit in the car.

       However, as soon as the car stopped, Wen Jianing couldn’t help but feel nauseated. He suddenly opened the door and rushed out, squatting on the roadside and vomiting all the contents in his stomach.

       Lu Jinlang opened the door and asked him, “Are you okay?”

       Wen Jianing raised a hand and waved it.

       When he finished vomiting, he felt much better and his head became clearer. He raised his head and looked around and asked, “Where is this?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Parking lot.”

       Of course Wen Jianing knew that this was the parking lot, but he didn’t know where the parking lot was. He thought that Lu Jinlang would send him home directly.

       When Wen Jianing stood up with one hand on his stomach, he saw that Lu Yunan had turned around and left in his car.

       Only he and Lu Jinlang were left here.

       Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinlang and was at a loss for a moment.

       Lu Jinlang said, “My house is upstairs. You can go up with me and change into clean clothes.”

       Wen Jianing hesitated, he understood what Lu Jinlang meant and why Lu Yunan left. He only had two choices here today, either go upstairs with Lu Jinlang or embarrass him and be left here alone.

       But how could he possibly reject and embarrass Lu Jinlang now?

       Wen Jianing reached out and rubbed his forehead, and said to Lu Jinlang, “Okay.” At the same time, he was trying to figure out how to get away, but in any case, he believed when Lu Jinlang said he would not force him, he would not.

       This apartment was a house that Lu Jinlang bought in the city centre and it was a high-end neighbourhood. There was a park nearby and there were no high-rise buildings around. The apartment had only seven floors in total, and the house Lu Jinlang bought was on the top floor.

       Lu Jinlang obviously came to live in this house often. After he opened the door and went in, what Lu Jinlang did first was finding Wen Jianing a new set of pyjamas and let him take a bath first.

       Wen Jianing felt that he was a little dirty and didn’t smell good, so he didn’t refuse and took the clothes and walked towards the bathroom. After he entered the bathroom, he carefully locked the bathroom door and began to take off his clothes.

       After relaxing and taking a bath, Wen Jianing put on a clean and soft pyjamas and came out of the bathroom.

       Lu Jinlang poured him a glass of warm water, let him rest, and then went to the bathroom to take a bath by himself.

       Wen Jianing sat on the sofa in a daze and suddenly thought that he might as well slip away while Lu Jinlang was taking a bath, but soon he felt that this behaviour was a bit childish and ridiculous. Furthermore, he was afraid it might lead to Lu Jinlang reacted badly, so he gave it up.

       Wen Jianing took a sip of water in his glass, raised his head and leaned on the back of the sofa chair. He thought about whether choosing Lu Jinlang to be his judge today seems to give Lu Jinlang some hint in his opinion.

       In fact, when making this choice, Wen Jianing felt it was somewhat inappropriate. After all, he still took advantage of Lu Jinlang’s unusual thoughts toward him to get himself another chance to advance.

       If he really wanted to avoid suspicion and show it to Lu Jinlang, he shouldn’t choose him at all.

       But so what? Even now, Wen Jianing didn’t plan to give himself in. What’s more, with his body like this, even if he wanted it, it would only scare Lu Jinlang.

       He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

       When he heard the bathroom door opened, he opened his eyes and turned to look in that direction. He saw that Lu Jinlang was wearing only a pair of pyjamas, and walked out of it with his upper body naked. While walking, he wiped the drops of water on his neck with a towel.

       Lu Jinlang’s figure was very good, and he obviously trained in the gym after deliberate planning. His whole body was slender and strong. In fact, Wen Jianing had seen Lu Jinlang’s naked body in the past, but he found that it was the first time that he had looked so carefully, with a different emotion than in the past.

       Wen Jianing remembered that two years ago, an entertainment website held a poll. The topic of the poll was: The male star who is most wanted to have a one night stand with. The result of that vote was that Lu Jinlang had always been at the top of the list, and Wen Jianing himself was on the list, but he ranked eighth.

       At that time, he felt a little unconvinced and asked his agent which part that the women would think of him as less to Lu Jinlang.

       The agent directly looked for the comments of a woman who participated in the voting to show him. In the comment, the lady compared Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing, saying that Wen Jianing looked too elegant, and in fact, it didn’t meet women’s sexual fantasies and was more suitable to be a husband. If it was a one-night stand, of course, Lu Jinlang was sexier and more attractive.

       Wen Jianing didn’t think so at the time, but now he felt convinced because he was suddenly aware of Lu Jinlang’s sexiness.

       Lu Jinlang sat down next to him, and the refreshing fragrance of the shower gel floated over. He asked Wen Jianing, “Feeling better?”

       Wen Jianing nodded and said, “Thank you.”

       After Lu Jinlang sat down, he unconsciously arched his waist slightly and made a defensive posture.

       Lu Jinlang noticed that and he was somewhat concerned about Wen Jianing’s repeated obvious rejection. He asked, “Do you still think I can’t be trusted?”

       “No,” Wen Jianing reached out and put the glass on the coffee table. He was organizing his thoughts, trying to find a way to resolve the situation that would not be embarrassing for both of them. He said, “Mr. Lu, I see I’ve seen many of your movies and always liked you.”

       Lu Jinlang leaned one elbow on the back of the sofa chair, propped his head, and said, “Are you not a fan of Wen Jianing?”

       Suddenly hearing his name from Lu Jinlang’s mouth, he was taken aback. He couldn’t react to what he said, and then he remembered that when he first spoke to Lu Jinlang and asked him about ‘October Fireworks’, he said he was a fan of Wen Jianing.

       Lu Jinlang continued, “And do you also like me?”

       Wen Jianing said, “This is not a contradiction.”

       Lu Jinlang asked, “So?”

       Wen Jianing was interrupted by him and didn’t remember what he was going to say next.

       Lu Jinlang then said, “So you want to say that I shouldn’t take action against a simple fan, even though that fan used me in the game today to make him qualify smoothly.”

       “I didn’t use you,” Wen Jianing retorted immediately, “If I had to say that I used something, it would be the rules. Isn’t that why the rules are formulated like that? Is it not so people can take advantage of it?”

       Lu Jinlang looked at him with a smile.

       Wen Jianing found that he had never seen Lu Jinlang’s smile. He once analyzed Lu Jinlang’s acting skills; the way he laughed in different roles was different, but Wen Jianing had never seen this kind of smile.

       His eyes were bent downward, like the shape of the moon, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, and his handsome face exudes a soft smell. Such a smile, even when he was acting in a romantic film, Lu Jinlang never showed it to the heroine.

       But Wen Jianing couldn’t help but look away.

       Lu Jinlang stretched out a hand, pinched Wen Jianing’s chin, made him turn his head, and then slowly approached and kissed his lips.

       Wen Jianing did not resist.

       He had acted in a lot of kissing scenes in the past. It didn’t matter whether the other party was a man or a woman, and it didn’t matter whether he felt good or not. He could kiss as long as he was acting. But in fact, Wen Jianing’s private life was quite clean. Of course, it was not that he lived a life of abstinence, but he had lived for 34 years and had not experienced any unforgettable love. He preferred a quiet and comfortable life to a woman’s companion.

       The moment Lu Jinlang kissed him, he couldn’t tell the difference between reality and acting, but then he realized that he was wrong. Lu Jinlang’s kiss was not very intense, but it was very hot. He felt the other party’s tongue reach into his mouth and entangled his gently and with irresistible strength. He tried to take the lead, but unfortunately, it was not possible. Perhaps in some respects, even Wen Jianing was still too innocent compared to Lu Jinlang.

       Wen Jianing was a little out of breath, but what he thought in his head was some gossip about Lu Jinlang.

       Lu Jinlang then held his chest with one hand, his thumb pressed teasingly on his chest.

       Wen Jianing suddenly pushed Lu Jinlang away. He knew he couldn’t continue. He couldn’t let Lu Jinlang touch his bottom line.

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 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.

I’m here to explain again! The “insult” I spoke before means that one is shamelessly playing around, and the other is blushing and eager to refuse but welcoming the act!*

      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.
