Emotionally stable, but continuing to go crazy

Chapter 8: Tell the story based on strength

Wei Zhe’an: !!!!!!!!!

Wei Zhe'an was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face became extremely awkward.

"No... no... I made a slip of the tongue... I wasn't thinking clearly at that time..." He explained stutteringly, roaring in his heart:

Wei Zhe'an, what's wrong with you? You thought you were playing a game! Don't talk nonsense if you are not clear-headed!

How can I explain this! Seventeen, save me! Give me a reasonable excuse!

Seventeen came out from behind him, patted his hand with his front paws and said comfortingly:

"Or you could just say that you admire him and vaguely called him by his private name?"

His mind went blank, and Wei Zhe'an felt that this was a solution. It was much more reliable than explaining that he had traveled through time and that Li Jinhe was his paper husband.

So, he blushed and stammered:

"I...I think Mr. Li is very handsome, so...I call him hubby as a joke in private."

"I wasn't thinking clearly at that time, and I called out carelessly."

"This is really not a love story. I'm sorry if it has caused you trouble. I can explain it to them!"

"I...I can explain it to them! I..."

As he spoke more, his face became redder and redder, and he felt even more embarrassed when he didn't hear Li Jinhe's response.

In the end, he even felt that this excuse was not very good, and he even began to regret why he couldn't find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Li Jinhe was silent for a long time, as if he was digesting Wei Zhe'an's unexpected explanation.

His worldview is undergoing a subversive refresh.

He originally just wanted to make a joke and tease the shy little intern, but he didn't expect to hear such incredible words - games, time travel, paper people?

He was not sure if he was hallucinating. Just as he was about to say that he didn't care, his eyes fell behind Wei Zhe'an.

A cat appeared out of nowhere. It seemed as if it came from another world.

Pets are not allowed in the trainees’ dormitory, which makes Li Jinhe even more confused.

Not only did this cat appear, it also seemed to be communicating with Wei Zhe'an and giving him advice.

Wei Zhe'an knew the existence of this cat and still called him Seventeen. How could such an unnatural phenomenon be so unconcealed in front of him?

Li Jinhe couldn't help but start to wonder, was it Wei Zhe'an who had a problem, or was it him? Has this world really become mysterious?

Li Jinhe came to his senses and saw that Wei Zhe'an was still in an awkward and embarrassed state, and he couldn't help feeling apologetic.

He smiled softly, trying to lighten the mood: "Don't mind it, I was just joking."

When Wei Zhe'an heard him say this, his face turned even redder. He lowered his head and whispered, "I understand. Thank you, teacher."

Li Jinhe continued, "If you still feel uncomfortable, you can call me on this number." He pointed to the landline phone on the small cabinet in front of the window.

During this closed training period, mobile phones, computers and other internet-enabled devices were taken away.

During the recording period, they can only communicate through staff; during the non-recording period, the only way to contact the outside world is the landline in this room.

Although Wei Zhe'an was still a little shy, he nodded obediently.

He stood up and walked Li Jinhe to the door. After opening the door, Li Jinhe turned around and looked at where the cat was. He seemed to want to say something but stopped.

Wei Zhe'an followed his gaze and looked back, only to see Seventeen squatting there. He asked guiltily, "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Li Jinhe retracted his gaze, stayed on Wei Zhe'an's face for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Nothing, you should take care of your rest, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, teacher." Wei Zhe'an replied.

Wei Zhe'an closed the door gently and looked at the cat sitting on the bed again. He frowned slightly, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone:

“Can others really not see you?”

The cat seemed to feel a little uncomfortable with the look Li Jinhe gave him before he left.

It shifted its position and replied, "Theoretically, yes. If he could see me, he would have reminded you that cats are not allowed in the dormitory."

Although Wei Zhe'an was a little skeptical, he also felt that there was some truth in it.

He is not the only one living in this dormitory. This question may be verified after his roommate comes back.

There were no practice tasks in the afternoon, which gave Wei Zhe'an time to organize his thoughts.

The program setting of "Shining Star" is very rigorous.

According to the trainees' existing abilities and personal development intentions, they were divided into four major groups: vocal, rap, dance, and all-around. At the same time, according to their performance on the first stage, the trainees were divided into six levels: A, B, C, D, E, F.

During the training period, a grading assessment will be conducted every two weeks. Trainees are required to attend the first assessment of each month, and trainees can decide whether to attend the second assessment at their own discretion.

The trainees are graded by their mentors based on their performance and decide whether they will be promoted or demoted.

The first performance was scheduled for the first day of the fourth week. The content of this performance was the "class selection" of the four large classes.

Each class will form a team of 12 people to perform as a group.

After the performance, the instructor will give scores and rankings to each trainee.

The final score of the first public performance will be determined by combining on-site voting, online voting and the trainees' levels. The last five trainees in each group will face elimination.

Wei Zhe'an understood that it would not be difficult for him to pass Yigong.

But in order to get first place in the group, his business ability must be outstanding, and he also needs to accumulate popularity and seize all opportunities to show himself.

Before the first performance, apart from the programs released by the production team, the only thing that the audience could directly see was the level assessment.

The assessment room is live-broadcasted throughout the entire process. These three minutes are not only a chance for trainees to get promoted, but also a key moment to win the audience's love. Every trainee will do their best to prepare.

The assessment content can be chosen from one of the five topics given by the program team, and the trainees need to fully demonstrate themselves within three minutes.

After the preliminary selection stage, they entered a two-week closed training period. In two days, they would take the grading test.

Wei Zhe'an knew that the production team would give them enough time to practice and familiarize themselves with the questions. The questions would be announced today.

The sound of boys laughing and talking could be heard in the corridor. Wei Zhe'an looked at the time and knew that the guidance class was over.

He sat on the edge of the bed and gently placed Seventeen on his lap.

Seventeen seemed to be in line with his mood, lying quietly on his legs, as if he was really a pet cat.

When the roommates opened the door and saw Wei Zhe'an standing beside the bed, their expressions were a little subtle.

Although not everyone saw what happened at noon.

But within one afternoon, the rumor that "Wei Zhe'an is a member of the 'royal family' and has a close relationship with Li Jinhe" had spread throughout the entire training camp.

Every trainee's mind is filled with various speculations and thoughts.

"You're back. Thank you for your hard work." Wei Zhe'an was the first to break the silence and greet them.

There are only 12 people in their all-round class. Liu Zhenyu and Yu Chi are both all-round students, but they do not live in the same dormitory.

In this environment, they are both teammates fighting side by side and fiercely competitive opponents.

Wei Zhe'an understands that maintaining good interpersonal relationships is crucial.

Tong Yang, because she is a little older and helpful, is affectionately called "Mother Yang" by everyone and is elected as the dormitory leader.

He took out a recorder from his bag and handed it to Wei Zhe'an, and asked with concern: "How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

"This is the recording of the vocal music class this afternoon." Tong Yang explained, "The program team and I asked for a recorder. The vocal music teacher talked about a lot of valuable information today. Listen to it when you have time."

"I'm fine, thank you Brother Yang." Wei Zhe'an took the recorder and thanked him sincerely.

Tong Yang looked at Wei Zhe'an, then turned to look at the other roommates behind him. He seemed to have something to say but was hesitant.

Wei Zhe'an saw his hesitation, so he took the initiative to speak:

"If you have anything to say, just say it. We'll be living together for more than two months. It's better to talk it out if there are any conflicts."

The boy named Zhou Hongyi was straightforward. He asked directly:

"Everyone is saying that you have a connection with the program team and a close relationship with Li Jinhe, and that you have been selected as the debut star of the program. Is that true?"

Wei Zhe'an knew that in the entertainment industry, which is a place of fame and fortune, people would believe lies when they were repeated many times.

It is better to guard against what people say than to guard against the river. The rumor has already spread. Wei Zhe'an does not want to fall into the trap of self-proof. All he can do now is to tell the truth.

"It's fake." Wei Zhe'an answered calmly and honestly, "I was qualified to participate in this variety show through Cashew Entertainment's internal selection."

"The internal assessment is publicized within the company. There is no need for me to lie about this."

He continued, "It is indeed my fault regarding Teacher Li Jinhe's incident. My mind was already very unclear before I fainted, and I don't even know what I said."

"Like you, I only got to know Teacher Li after I participated in the recording. He and I don't have a special relationship. I said the wrong thing today and caused trouble for Teacher Li. I will apologize to him."

He paused and continued, "This is a talent show. Everything is based on your ability. This is all I can explain. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

After saying that, Wei Zhe'an stood up, his eyes were bright and clear as water, revealing a sincere light.

He looked his roommates straight in the eye, with a firm and calm attitude, expressing his position neither humbly nor arrogantly.
