How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Lee Yong-hyun slowly emerged from the dark room after everyone had made a batch of cookies.

Lu Yunzheng and Zhang Shuaizhen were picking out the less-than-ideal products when they saw Li Longxuan. Not wanting to miss any opportunity, they exclaimed, "Hey! My brother Xuan is finally here! Come on, let me feed you a piece too."

Lu Yun brought a dark, irregularly shaped object to Li Longxuan's lips.

"Keep it for yourself." Having witnessed Lu Yun's disastrous cooking, Lee Yong-hyun directly raised his hand in refusal.

Over there, Luo Xi, An Kexin, Ming Ning, Gu Minxing, Liu Jibai, Song Chuchu, and Liya were all packing up all the cookies they had made or writing greeting cards at a larger and more beautifully decorated table, while the photographers were also gathered there taking pictures.

Nobody paid any attention to him... so the filming must have ended.

"Hey, Xuan-ge, what kind of badly edited video did you watch?" Lu Yun asked as he ate the cookie.

Li Longxuan retorted to Lu Yun, "Why don't you go over and help pack it up? You've already made it all, haven't you?"

“They said we made them terribly and made us redo a batch. But I think we can still salvage them, so I want to pick out some of the better ones to see if they can pass.” Lu Yun continued picking through the pile of cookies.

“Actually, they all taste pretty much the same. It’s just that they don’t look very appealing,” Zhang Shuaizhen chimed in.

Lee Yong-hyun wanted to say that was not necessarily true, but then he suddenly heard the director call him: "Lee Yong-hyun, hurry up, you have to do it too, start doing it now, your filming will be over soon."

Lee Yong-hyun's heart tightened: "Isn't it necessary? They've already portioned it out. One more or one less portion won't make much difference, after all, what I made isn't exactly a delicacy."

But the director didn't listen to him and instead shouted Mingning's name loudly.

In the end, despite enduring so many parody videos, I still couldn't escape the fate of making cookies.

Lee Yong-hyun sighed. He had gotten used to this feeling of helplessness since his debut, and he didn't even want to get angry anymore.

Even more unfortunately, Mingning wasn't a good cook either. After everyone else had finished filming and left, the two of them, under the director's insistence, finally managed to make a batch of cookies before they were able to finish filming.

To ensure better preservation, the cookies made for the fan signing event were filmed and made after dinner, and now, after dawdling for half a day, it's almost 10 p.m.

When Lee Yong-hyun opened the door, the living room was pitch black—probably because everyone had gone back to their own rooms because they had to get up early for the fan signing event the next day.

He was too lazy to turn on the light and was about to walk straight into the room when he suddenly saw Luo Enxi and Song Chuchu embracing each other in the open doorway of the room with the light on.

To be precise, Song Chuchu was holding Luo Enxi tightly around the waist, her kitten-like cheek pressed against his chest, and her voice was sticky and sweet, giving Li Long goosebumps.

"It's just... it's just that you can't go to his live streams anymore, and you can't do live streams together in the future. And you're not allowed to let him hug you."

"Why? You have to say why."

"I just can't do it for no reason!" Song Chuchu said harshly, then softened her tone, "I just don't like him, I don't like him."

"What should I do... why don't I like him?"

Although Lee Yong-hyun really enjoys these dramatic scenes, the person involved cannot be Ra Eun-hee.

So he deliberately coughed a few times, successfully startling Song Chuchu: "Whoa!!"

Luo Xi remained calm. It was just that Li Longxuan hadn't returned yet, but she asked in confusion, "Longxuan hyung, why didn't you turn on the lights when you came back?"

"Our contract has a clause prohibiting dating, so you should be careful," Lee Yong-hyun said casually before heading straight to his room.

Luo Xi, having heard clearly, let out a confused "Huh?" Song Chuchu, who hadn't heard at all, clutched her chest and cursed, "Can you please not suddenly appear in the dark? It's really scary! Lee Yong-hyun!!"

Fiction (D) and ILitter's official accounts uploaded a variety show featuring both groups called "Fiction Letter," which received a lot of positive feedback from group fans and CP (couple) fans. Highly rated comments included...

"Great, now it's the group's fans' world."

"I don't think our relationship is as bad as people online say; we're quite close."

"My Xingbai! My Yunzhen! My Xixin! There's finally a sequel! The recommender is now completely satisfied!"

"Both of the team's carries are flawless; if this isn't love, then..."

"It's nice to my eyes for beautiful people to feed each other cookies."

"So how do I get these cookies TT (A heartbroken candlestick who didn't get a chance to sign them)"

"Was there really any suppression when I promoted Bao Nan? I'm starting to doubt it. Why is it that apart from the five members of Bao Nan saying this, the others, even those who didn't debut, don't seem to feel suppressed at all; they all accept it wholeheartedly?"

"No doubt about it, it's just spreading rumors and smearing us. Companies love to do this. When Bao Nan came out, I knew he was only promoted to compete with the Mexican and Japanese talent shows, so I didn't say a word online."

"The rumors about suppression are false. Those trainees who claimed to be suppressed didn't even get to record the show. There are summaries of the events on Luo Enxi's fan site. Enxi and the members of Group E were even having a get-together a few days ago. Those spreading rumors should really shut up."

In Luo Xi's popularity system, on the "Personal Popular Topics" page, the content with the fastest rising popularity has become:

"I got hooked on the All-Ronaldo pairing after watching their variety show. Can you recommend some All-Ronaldo content to me, Vitamin C? Thanks!"
