"Today is the first day. Although the program team has scheduled the live broadcast from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., they will also be recording other footage. We can't miss this opportunity to appear on screen."
Xu Yi didn't care how many opportunities she had to appear on screen. She had come to participate in the show to earn money to buy better jade so that she could find Miss Gu as soon as possible.
Now that Miss Gu has been found, whether or not she has money is no longer important.
Along the way, Xu Yi strolled leisurely, taking in the construction of the Star Idol Base, and the flower beds and garden plants also piqued her interest.
"Aren't you hungry?" Zhang Ya was a little anxious when she saw that she was walking very slowly. She was already starving and was just waiting to go to the cafeteria for a big meal. Moreover, today was the first day of the program, and she could find out about other people's situations as soon as possible.
Xu Yi shook her head. "I'm not hungry."
However, considering that Zhang Ya was just an ordinary mortal, she did speed up a bit.
Since they finally had a chance to be alone together, Zhang Ya naturally wouldn't just walk with her. She started a conversation about their favorite idols.
"I don't know if we'll see Yueyue in the future. Yueyue is the most approachable. She got along very well with all the guests when she participated in variety shows. Maybe she'll even have breakfast in the cafeteria. That's the best way to bridge the gap between mentors and trainees."
Upon hearing her words, Xu Yi's consciousness stirred, and she found a familiar aura among the crowd gathered in the cafeteria.
"Zhang Ya, we'll be doing a lot of physical activity later, right?"
Xu Yi's question seemed out of the ordinary. Zhang Ya thought about the upcoming dance practice and replied, "Yes. What's wrong?"
"Let's practice beforehand," Xu Yi said, then darted off like an arrow. "Let's run there."
"..." Who was that just now strolling around like an old man walking a tortoise?
Zhang Ya was a mountaineering enthusiast, so her physical strength was naturally excellent. In addition, Xu Yi kept the speed within the range that an average person could achieve, so she easily caught up with him.
Zhang Ya: "Are you hungry?" You ran away so suddenly.
When the two arrived at the cafeteria, Gu Yueyue was quietly eating breakfast in a corner.
The production crew was filming footage nearby. Many trainees had wanted to talk to Gu Yueyue and get more screen time, but now that it was getting late, they were too embarrassed to disturb Gu Yueyue's meal any longer, so they all sat at the nearby table.
After Xu Yi arrived, she immediately located Gu Yueyue, glanced at the others, and quickly led the breakfast toward Gu Yueyue.
Zhang Ya stopped her, "Isn't it inappropriate to go now?"
"If there's a reasonable reason, it's appropriate at any time."
"What reasonable reason could you possibly have?" Zhang Ya grabbed her sleeve, but Xu Yi broke free and said to her seriously, "She's my fiancée."
"!!! You're still getting into character." Zhang Ya followed her over and whispered, "That's my ultimate wife!"
After Xu Yi sat down, Gu Yueyue paused in her chopsticks, but quickly resumed her hand. Looking at Xu Yi and Zhang Ya, she smiled and asked, "Good morning. Are you settling in well here?"
"I'm used to it! I'm very used to it. Home is wherever Yueyue is. I feel at home here. It's warm and cozy everywhere."
Zhang Ya was able to remain calm before she arrived, but as a fan of ten years, who could resist sitting so close to their idol while eating?
Xu Yi & Gu Yueyue: "..."
As Zhang Ya joked around, Gu Yueyue relaxed a bit, until she noticed Xu Yi's gaze lingering on her neck. A wave of panic and agitation washed over Gu Yueyue, and she ate much faster, wanting nothing more than to leave as soon as possible.
After Zhang Ya finally finished speaking, she took a napkin from the table and wiped her lips.
"Take your time eating. There will be a lot of training ahead, and it will be physically demanding, so don't try to stay in shape by eating only a little bit." Gu Yueyue tidied up the table and left.
Before this, Xu Yi had never spoken to her.
Even more unfortunate than her was Zheng Wan, who arrived late. When she arrived, she only saw Gu Yueyue and the film crew leaving.
Since it was a girl group audition, the two male mentors couldn't have too much contact with the trainees, so they came to the restaurant together in the morning.
Yuan Beidu was stunned the moment he saw Fan Weiwei. "Did you spend the whole night playing cards?"
Fan Weiwei had dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept for several nights.
He said weakly, "I'm going to sleep." After a while, as if he had thought of something, he asked Yuan Beidu, "Brother Beidu, what do you think a man should do if his 'thing' is weak?"
"..." Yuan Beidu was about to blurt out a few Chinese medicinal herbs, but he stopped himself in time and laughed, "How would I know? I've never been weak."
They walked and talked, and when they arrived at the cafeteria, it was exactly eight o'clock, and the live broadcast began.
After the live stream started, the previously noisy restaurant quieted down considerably. Most people started to take care of their image, eating less and eating slowly, with elegant posture and graceful movements.
Even when Yuan Beidu is indulging in food and drink in private, he will put on the airs of an idol once he is in front of the camera, as if he is shooting a fashion poster, and every move he makes exudes nobility and elegance.
Zhang Ya and Xu Yi were both quiet when eating. After breakfast, they headed to the dance studio according to the program's schedule for the day.
On the way there, Zhang Ya said to Xu Yi, "Did you notice anything different about Yueyue just now?"
"What's different?" Xu Yi stopped and thought carefully for a moment. It seemed to be the same as the last time she saw her last night.
Zhang Ya pointed excitedly to the area below her neck and said, "A necklace! Yueyue has a new necklace around her neck, didn't you notice?"
Before Zhang Ya could finish speaking and Xu Yi could even reply, the live stream chat had already erupted in chaos.
—The necklace! Yaya, the person who gave Yueyue the necklace is right in front of you!
—Ya Ya, be careful! That's not one of our allies, that's a rival in love! Draw your sword!
Zhang Ya's online name is: Xiao Yue Liang Ya
Other fans who know her well affectionately call her Ya Ya. As a ten-year-old fan who has followed Gu Yueyue since her debut, Ya Ya is also a veteran in the white moonlight army. When they learned that she was participating in the idol project, many white moonlight fans said they would vote for her and make her the first person to successfully chase her idol.
Fans all know that Zhang Ya is very close to that pretty girl named Xu Yi, so at first, she looked at Xu Yi as if she were her own little sister, after all, Xu Yi is the new little white moonlight.
But the longtime fans' friendliness towards her ended last night after witnessing her bring the goddess into the room.
Xu Yi, that new little white moonlight, not only smuggled eight small gifts into his own pocket, but also gave the goddess a necklace, which the goddess has been wearing since last night!
What makes that newcomer so special?
Why did Xu Yi achieve this so easily, something that even his long-time fans of ten years haven't received? And Ya Ya, a veteran of the "White Moonlight" family, is still completely fooled by Xu Yi!
Zhang Ya: "Don't you also think that necklace is beautiful? It matches Yueyue perfectly?"
“Yes. Of course.” Xu Yi admired Zhang Ya’s taste. “They are a perfect match.”
Zhang Ya: "Right, right! I really want the same one. I wonder which brand it is. I also think that purple goes well with Yueyue."
The two walked to the training building. In the lobby on the first floor, Zhang Ya saw a live broadcast camera that was working. She pulled Xu Yi over.
The two stood in front of the camera, and Zhang Ya waved to the camera: "Hello! Hello! June, Anonymous, are you watching? My phone was taken away. Can you help us find out which brand Yueyue's necklace is a new product? It would be even better if you could help me order one in advance."
Comparing lifespans with anonymous people: Ask the guy next to you!
June 7th -: Let's expel them from the fandom. One silly girl and one scheming little devil, they've seriously tarnished the purity and innocence of our beloved idol.
Zhang Ya repeatedly told the live stream camera that she must find the same necklace as Yueyue.
Zhang Ya only stopped her loud and boisterous behavior in front of the camera when Gu Yueyue and Zheng Wan entered the hall together.
Zheng Wan followed Gu Yueyue, embodying the image of a humble junior. Along the way, Gu Yueyue talked to her about the precautions for girl group training, avoiding any real conflicts of interest between the trainees and maintaining the friendly relationship between the artists from the same company in front of the camera.
However, Zheng Wan always tried to change the subject, attempting to talk to her about more personal topics.
(Third watch)
As soon as she entered the hall, Zheng Wan noticed that all the live-streaming cameras were on, and Xu Yi, who had repeatedly ruined her plans, was also there. So she steered the conversation toward Xu Yi.
Zheng Wan: "Speaking of which, I was planning to visit Teacher Gu last night. But it got too late, so I didn't dare to disturb Teacher Gu's rest."
Gu Yueyue was at a loss for words. Zheng Wan's words sounded strange, and she couldn't figure out the meaning behind them for the time being, so she didn't dare to say anything and could only smile.
When Gu Yueyue entered, Xu Yi's gaze involuntarily lingered on her. Before, she didn't know that this was the Miss Gu she was looking for. At that time, she only looked at her as a decent mortal. Now that she knew the truth, Xu Yi looked at her again, and... indeed, she was radiating light.
"Teacher Gu." Xu Yi quickly stepped forward and forced her way into Gu Yueyue and Zheng Wan's group.
Having spent time alone with Xu Yi last night, Gu Yueyue is no longer averse to his advances. Moreover, with other people present today, she feels a little safer.
"Xiao Xu, Zhang Ya," Gu Yueyue greeted them, then asked, "Are you going to the practice room?"
Zhang Ya was thrilled that her idol remembered her name and affectionately called her "Zhang Ya, classmate".
Xu Yi: "We need to gather at the dance studio first. We'll choose a team leader, receive our tasks, and then assign training sessions."
Gu Yueyue was heading to the conference room, which was on the same floor as the dance studio, so she went into the elevator with them.
From the lobby to the door of the meeting room, in those few short minutes, Xu Yi kept talking to Gu Yueyue. Gu Yueyue was mainly explaining some precautions to her during the training process, to prevent newcomers who had never been exposed to dance practice from getting injured by starting too aggressively.
Although the professional teachers assigned by the program team would tell them all these things when they started training, and Xu Yi wasn't a complete novice who had never been exposed to dance training before, after all, her sword dance was both powerful and graceful and full of beauty, Gu Yueyue still couldn't help but tell her some things in advance.
Perhaps Xu Yi's hard work and dedication to her dreams reminded her of her past self.
Gu Yueyue entered the conference room, while Zheng Wan and Xu Yi continued towards the dance studio at the end of the corridor.
The other students from Villa No. 3 had already arrived, and after the three of them arrived, they began to discuss who should be the team leader.
Xu Yi found an open space and sat down cross-legged. Zhang Ya, imitating her indifferent and detached attitude, also sat down next to her in a Buddhist-like manner.
The controversy among the remaining six people regarding the team leader started with polite back-and-forth exchanges, but gradually escalated into a heated argument.
None of these six people are simple characters. Zheng Wan, under Hongsheng Entertainment, is already a minor star. She has acted in several web dramas and accumulated over 100,000 fans. In addition, the company plans to kick out Gu Yueyue and promote her, which makes her feel that the captain's position is rightfully hers.
One of them is a cross-dressing influencer on Kuaishou (a Chinese short video platform), with a particularly good figure, named Zhuang Yan.
There's also a beauty blogger on Xiaolanshu (a Chinese social networking site), who's very pretty, named Ruan Hanmei.
Another Bilibili (Bilibili is a Chinese video sharing website) content creator, while her teammates were giving their self-recommendations in a clear and logical manner, she had already added body language and performed a rap for everyone. Her name is Miao Lele.
The remaining two are the second-generation stars who almost got into a fight at the audition.
One is named Han Shixue, and the other is named Shen Ningjiao.
These two are really about to make their move.
The other teams have already chosen their captains and received their training assignments, but here they are just chatting noisily.
"Let's vote! Since no one is willing to give in, let's decide by voting," Zheng Wan suggested.
So all six of them unanimously voted for themselves, and finally they looked at Zhang Ya and Xu Yi.
It's safe to say that if these two people vote for the same person, then it's pretty much certain who will be the team captain.
Zhang Ya looked at them, then at Xu Yi, and finally pointed to herself, laughing, "Then I'll follow suit and choose myself too."
Her shameless act nearly made the people who had just been arguing heatedly vomit blood.
Xu Yi is the only one who hasn't voted yet.
Her vote is crucial; everyone is waiting for her decision.
Zheng Wan asked nervously, "Xu Yi, you're not going to choose yourself too, are you?"
“No.” Xu Yi looked at Zhang Ya and then said, “I choose her.”
