Boy group: In order to survive, I have to open business

"Can I be number one in your heart?"

"That depends on my performance," Xia Xinglang smiled, thinking of many ways to tease him, "Brother Xiao Yu, please help me wash the sheets and clean the dormitory."

"Okay!" Xiao Yu agreed readily.

Xia Xinglang practiced dancing for a while and then returned to his dormitory room, where he found Xiao Yu lying on his bed sideways, sniffing the sheets.

"Didn't you ask me to wash the sheets?"

Xiao Yu blushed: "I'm smelling the detergent on the sheets. I wonder what Xiaolang likes to use."

"……casual."

Xiao Yu obediently went to clean the dormitory, sweeping, mopping, and sorting garbage. Che Zaixian wanted to help several times, but was stopped by Xia Xinglang: "You can't help all the time. This is a kind of training for Brother Xiao Yu."

Che Zaixun: “Hmm.”

After Xiao Yu finished cleaning, he asked Xia Xinglang what to do next.

Xia Xinglang: "Pick out the raisins from the nut package. I don't like them."

Xiao Yu did as he was told and fed him pine nuts one by one.

Xia Xinglang: "A little thirsty."

Xiao Yu immediately stood up to pour some water.

Xia Xinglang challenged him: "I need ice in my water, don't you know this?"

Xiao Yu: "I'm afraid you'll eat too much cold food, which is bad for your stomach."

Cha Jae-hoon and Kim Seung-hyeok passed by the living room: "Xiaolang, is this considered bullying..."

Xia Xinglang turned around and asked him, "Brother Xiao Yu, am I bullying you?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "No, I took the initiative to help Xiaolang."

Xia Xinglang felt that he was a bit arrogant, treating Xiao Yu as an assistant, but to be honest it was quite cool, Xiao Yu simply obeyed him in everything.

Xia Xinglang felt a little sorry for Xiao Yu eating the raisins he had left. His conscience finally came to his senses: "Brother, go and have a rest."

"What else do you want me to do?" Xiao Yu looked at him eagerly, "I can also give you a massage, Little Wolf."

"No more," Xia Xinglang began to feel guilty for some reason, "Brother Xiao Yu, go and have a rest."

"Am I number one in your heart?"

"It's not important," Xia Xinglang didn't expect him to be so serious about a joke, "Brother, shouldn't you care more about yourself?"

"Very important!" Xiao Yu answered firmly, "Xiaolang, you are very important to me."

Xia Xinglang had nothing to say.

Xiao Yu: "Can you forgive me?"

Xia Xinglang felt like he was punching cotton. He had been thinking about how angry Xiao Yu would be and how frustrated he would be when Xiao Yu ordered him around. He didn't expect that Xiao Yu was actually quite willing to do all this for him.

Xiao Yu: "Brother really knows he is wrong."

"At that time," Xia Xinglang wanted to know how Xiao Yu felt, "Brother, you know I don't remember the past, so why are you still so nice to me?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember," Xiao Yu said, "If I hadn't seen the column of former names in the file at that time, I wouldn't have believed it."

"But later when we went skiing together and everyone was setting off fireworks, you were so scared that you squatted down with your head in your hands, hiding behind Che Zaixun. At that time, I was wondering if there was any connection. Even if you don't remember, you are still the same little wolf. Although you won't hug me and act like a spoiled child, some things haven't changed."

Xiao Yu said: "So it's okay if you don't remember. I protected you before, and I want to stand in front of you and protect you in the future."

Xia Xinglang was slightly touched after hearing these words. He could not understand Xiao Yu's mental journey and did not understand Xiao Yu's sudden change last year. How could he know if Xiao Yu did not speak up and say what was in his heart?

Xiao Yu continued to ask: "Xiaolang, can we make peace now?"

Xia Xinglang: "No."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel frustrated: "Why?"

Xia Xinglang: "Because I'm not a child, I don't need protection."

Xiao Yu lowered his head.

Xia Xinglang reached out and tucked Xiao Yu's slightly longer hair behind his ear: "Brother, can you please look at me straight in the face and stop looking down at me? I'm taller now, and I don't want to hear you say that you should give up the C position to me... because I feel like I'm being looked down upon."

Xiao Yu held his hand seriously: "So."

"So we won't make peace," Xia Xinglang said, "Let's just maintain the status quo until my brother faces me squarely."

"So our relationship is very bad?"

"No," Xia Xinglang said, "Not as good as the first place, but not as bad either. I can barely be considered the second place."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Xiaolang, you have such strict standards."

[Mission completed! Your relationship with group member 'Xiao Yu' has deepened! ]

JP1 announced that they will hold two two-hour concerts over two days in mid-September at a 9-seat stadium. They were originally scheduled to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival special of the Idol Sports Games, but had to miss it. However, they should be able to participate during the Spring Festival next year.

The schedule is very tight. In addition to their daily work and variety shows, they spend almost the entire day in the dance studio. They have confirmed the program many times, and have interactive sessions with fans. The dance steps are also adapted according to the concert. There are many emergencies in a concert, and songs with too complicated dance steps are not suitable.

Yin Donghao: "How about a duet dance during the interactive session?"

"Which dance?"

Yin Donghao: "Trouble Maker's song."

Xia Xinglang asked curiously: "Who is Brother Donghao dancing with?"

After saying that, Yin Donghao stared at him without blinking: "With Xiaolang."

The copyright issues of songs and stage performances can be ignored because the artist duo originally belonged to Company C, and the company also encouraged them to cover songs of the company's senior duos. After much consideration, a duet is the best, as it is interactive and effective, and can also mobilize the emotions of fans.

At this time, Hanayamain Eiji said, "I danced with Xiaolang before, try it with me again, I have learned the female dance steps."

Xiao Yu: "Little Wolf, dance with me too."

Kim Seung Hyuk: "Everyone, please dance with Xiaolang."

Xia Xinglang: “…”

The final result of the meeting was that Xia Xinglang danced six duets with six people, which made it look like a dance relay, with Xia Xinglang spinning among the members like a spinning top.

Rehearsing is also a burden on physical strength. Although it is an interactive fan welfare session and it is allowed to be not so serious, Xia Xinglang has his own persistence. If he wants to do it, he must do his best. Moreover, his positioning is very flexible, constantly switching back and forth between male and female positions. He dances the male position with Yingzhi, Xiaoyu, and Zhang Lin, and the female steps with Jaexun, Chengxie, and Donghao.

Moreover, they are all different dances, and the music connections and lighting and stage design between stages all need to be changed. In order to ensure physical strength, Xia Xinglang has recently increased his training volume and does 100 push-ups every day.

Che Zaixun touched his abdominal muscles and said, "Wow, it's obvious, six pack."

Xia Xinglang directly lifted the hem of his clothes: "Where's my brother? Let me see."

Touching each other's abdominal muscles in the gym seemed strange to outsiders. Xia Xinglang felt the strange looks from people around him. Che Zaixun was still pinching his waist: "Little Wolf! I can use you to wash the clothes."

Xia Xinglang: "Brother, aren't your abdominal muscles also washboard-like?"

Che Zaixun chuckled: "Do you want to wash it on top? It will take a whole day to wash it clean."

Xia Xinglang thought to himself, what kind of fans can he attract by relying on his abdominal muscles? Body fans? But his age is very dangerous. He will not be officially considered an adult until November. It is only September now, so there are still two months.

Kim Seung-hyeok saw them talking about their bodies and came over to ask about the results of their training. Xia Xinglang was touched every time. After Kim Seung-hyeok finished touching him, Yingzhi also started, then Yin Donghao, Xiao Yu, and finally Hong Zhanglin also reached out to touch him. It felt like even the most protruding abdominal muscles would be smoothed out after a day.

Then there are endless rehearsals, which can be two hours long or very short. We also have to consider changing clothes and the final encore stage where we can dance for two to four more songs.

Changing clothes is the most rushed thing. It is particularly difficult to hang the earmuffs on clothes, and the wires are a tangled mess. It takes a long time to adjust the position of the earmuffs. A set of clothes will definitely not last that long on a two-hour stage.

Backstage, everyone is often honest with each other and says that everyone is thin, even Kim Seung-hyeok and Cha Jae-hun who work out regularly. They are just a little stronger than ordinary idols, and their weight is also the standard weight for adult males.

"What's the encore?"

“What if the fans don’t call for an encore?”

"..."

Xia Xinglang couldn't help but think about the embarrassing stage events, such as the quiet fans and the deserted audience seats, but he lacked confidence during the rehearsal.

"Someone will shout," Cha Jae-hoon said, "If the fans don't shout, the seven of us on stage will shout for encore, encore."

Xia Xinglang: "How can you yell for an encore during a stage performance?"

Kim Seung Hyuk heard their conversation and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiaolang, have a little more faith in our fans and Cupid."

“Both days of tickets sold out in five minutes.”
