How to become an ACE of a top boy group

"bump--"

As the sparklers exploded with sequins, the five ILitters posed in front of the elaborately prepared five-tiered celebratory cake. A staff member immediately took a picture of them, and the five blew out the candles amidst continuous applause from the surrounding crowd.

"Wow—" "ILetter! ILitterer! ILitterer!" "Congratulations on three million in sales!" "Congratulations on the successful completion of the first phase!"

After blowing out the candles, the five of them clapped along with everyone. Luo Xi and the others stood up and cut the cake, distributing it to the producer Yi Jin, the arranger, the MV director and cinematographer, the makeup and choreography teacher, the publicity staff, and so on.

This was a celebration party, specially organized by the company for the achievements of "Answer Sheet". The two-week promotion ended smoothly, with "Answer Sheet" winning 8 number one spots, beating the previous chart-topping songs and gaining widespread attention. It also achieved remarkable commercial success, making this comeback a success that far exceeded expectations.

ILetter's popularity has greatly increased, and they have finally successfully and officially entered the ranks of top-tier boy groups, becoming a truly top-tier boy group.

The main conference room was newly decorated with glamorous metallic ribbons and blue and white balloons, just like a birthday celebration. The happiest people were the ILitter team staff, because they earned a lot this time and received generous bonuses; everyone was overjoyed.

Several tables were filled with snacks: small bags of potato chips, biscuits, dried meat, bagels, blueberry tarts, fig jam bread, seaweed and pork floss rolls, crispy pastry platters, and a large bucket of iced cocktails specially made for the party... Dozens of people were taking photos and chatting, eating and drinking, playing games, and singing, all determined to clear away all the fatigue of the past few months tonight.

Lu Yun, Zhang Zhenshuai, Song Chuchu, Liya, and choreographer Qiqi are playing games. Li Longxuan is surrounded by his colleagues who want to take pictures of him. He helplessly listens to their manipulations and everyone taking pictures of him.

Gu Minxing was chatting with the producer about his ideas for his new album, while Luo Xi and An Kexin were picking out snacks, discussing which ones were the best, and filling a plate for everyone playing games to eat together.

What makes the ILitterer members happiest is that the members of Fiction (D) have just finished their month-long busy commercial performances and returned to Haicheng yesterday, so they can hang out together tonight.

Luo Xi knew that Fiction (D) was under a lot of pressure because their first full-length album at the beginning of the year hadn't sold well, leaving them with a lot of unsold albums. They would have to hold many autograph sessions to gradually make up for the unsold inventory, which meant they would be busy like this for a long time to come.

But Ankexin still looked so energetic, saying that the snack was delicious, and then fed it to Luo Xi.

While eating, Luo Xi asked about Liu Jibai's current situation: "Jibai is really not coming to play? Is there something wrong with his health? He's been on leave for so many days and hasn't contacted you at all?"

An Kexin shook his head and said calmly, "His agent said he would come back from the book signing. I also want to know how he is doing, but he doesn't reply to any messages. Sigh, being slandered must be a big blow to him. However, if he can't fully explain his relationship with that woman, there's nothing we can do about it."

Isn't this just reaping what you sow? Or should we say, retribution?

An Kexin, not wanting to waste his emotions, smiled and fed Luo Xixin some snacks: "Enxi, try this, it's delicious too!"

"It's so delicious!" Luo Xi said with a smile, chewing. "Take more of these."

"Kexin, should I go back first? I'm thirsty. There's only alcohol here, but I don't want to drink," Mingning said softly as she walked to An Kexin's side.

"Here's some watermelon juice!" Luo Xi handed Ming Ning a full glass of juice.

"No need, no need!" Mingning was somewhat resistant.

"This hasn't been drunk from before, just take it." Luo Xi casually shoved it into Ming Ning's hand, but the moment their hands touched, Ming Ning suddenly pulled her hand away, while Luo Xi let go, causing the cup to fly out of her hand and spill juice all over Ming Ning's clothes.

Such obvious resistance from Rossi was impossible for him not to notice.

Why? Didn't they have a good relationship? Could it be that they've suffered some kind of trauma?

An Kexin quickly came over to tidy up and wiped the juice off Mingning's clothes with tissues. Mingning then said that she needed to leave to change her clothes and went back first.

Luo Xi was completely baffled. She and An Kexin took their plates and sat down to eat snacks, while secretly checking her phone to see the messages Ming Ning had sent earlier, trying to find out the reason.

July 17th: The weather is getting hotter, be careful of heatstroke! We'll be back soon. This month of commercial performances has been exhausting; we've traveled to so many places. We'll see each other soon, I miss you so much…

July 10th: Are you there? How was today's performance? How did your event go...?

July 4th: I saw one of you, you did a fantastic job...

Isn't this all perfectly normal?

After looking around, Luo Xi still couldn't find the problem, so he could only ask the system, "041, have you received any information from another system?"

As a piece of data, 041 also finds it difficult to understand human emotions! 041 believes that directly asking the person involved is the most convenient, direct, quick, and effective method.

"Although it feels a bit uneasy, what if he's in a bad mood and doesn't want to talk to anyone? He probably won't want to reply to any messages right now." After thinking it over, Luo Xi said, "I'm still a little worried. I'll ask him."

She sent Mingning a message on her phone: "Hello, have you changed your clothes? Have you been feeling down lately? I've been busy with the comeback activities and haven't had time to check on you. Although I don't know what you're thinking, in my eyes we're the only two friends in this world who have to complete the system's mission and go through thick and thin together. So, no matter what happens, I'll always be there for you. Message me if you're feeling down. You can keep your distance if you want. Anyway, I already consider you a friend."

At this moment, An Kexin grabbed Luo Xi's hand and shook it twice: "Enxi, let's play the 'Potato' game together! What's the point of just watching from the sidelines!"

Zhang Shuzhen also said, "That's right, put down your phone and join us!"

Qiqi said with a smile, "It's just in time that Brother Yuan left, so someone can fill in for him."

Lu Yun stood up and poured Luo Xi and An Kexin a glass of watermelon juice from the side of his hand: "Here, let me pour you some juice. Don't drink alcohol and drink watermelon juice with us minors."

Luo Xi had no choice but to put down her phone, which was waiting for a reply, take the juice, and play with everyone.

"Potato" is a party game that has become popular this year. The game is played by everyone taking turns saying "potato". Starting with "horse", "bell", and "potato", the next person has to say "horse bell" and "potato" in the next round, and so on until someone makes a mistake and has to drink a drink as a punishment.

Everyone clapped and sang the game rhyme together: "On potato harvest day, let's count how many there are, sing a potato song, one, two, three, the potato song—"

Lu Yunxian said, "Horse!"

Lia: "Ring!"

Zhang Shuaizhen: "Potato!"

Song Chuchu: "Horse bells!"

Qiqi: "Potato!"

An Kexin: "Potatoes!"

Luo Xi: "Horse!"

Lu Yun: "Ring!"

Lia: "Potato!"

Zhang Shuaizhen: "Horse!"

"Ah!!" "You should say 'potato'!" "Wrong!" "You're wrong about just one potato?" "Hahahaha!"

Zhang Shuaizhen was filled with regret, while the others continued to applaud and urge him: "Do it! Do it! Do it!"

They drank it all in one gulp, and everyone burst into laughter. Gu Minxing, Yi Jin, and Director Nan Jing finished chatting and walked over together. Everyone immediately said to come and join them, and they sat down.

The agent came over and told ILitterer that he had to go to Haicheng High School immediately for an interview.

The External Relations Department just notified us that the Arts and Literature Newspaper wants to interview them about ILiter's selfless performance at the graduation ceremony of Haicheng High School. The Arts and Literature Newspaper was originally just going to Haicheng High School to interview some graduating students, but upon hearing about this, they immediately contacted MoRi Entertainment to see if they could interview ILiter before leaving. The interview content might be published in the Arts and Literature Newspaper as social news.

"This is a rare interview with official Chinese media, you have to go now."

"Doesn't this mean I'm going to be in the newspaper? Let's go now!" Lu Yun boasted to Zhang Shuaizhen, "I'm going to be on the news."

Zhang Shuaizhen, in a comic relief manner, said, "Congratulations! Please give me your name when the time comes."

The makeup artists quickly finished styling the five people. Before setting off, Luo Xi finally received Ming Ning's reply, sent via system message:

I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me.

The reason I acted that way was because of Kexin; I always felt he would be unhappy if we got too close. We can just chat like usual; you don't need to worry about me.

"?"

Girls know it's okay to be upset when their friends get along well with others, but I can't believe boys feel the same way?

No, no, it's not that simple. Luo Xi felt that this must be Ming Ning's way of hiding his true feelings, which meant that he really had a problem.

Mingning returned to her dorm alone, changed out of her wet clothes, and saw Luo Enxi's message: Hello, have you changed yet? Have you been feeling down lately? I've been busy with comeback activities and haven't had time to check on you...

Mingning stood in front of the mirror for a long time with the wet clothes in her hands, then gave Luo Enxi a brief reply and used An Kexin as an excuse to tell Luo Enxi not to doubt her.

As he wished, Ronxi did not reply again, and he suddenly felt very lonely.

Enxi is probably having a great time with An Kexin right now, and she probably doesn't have time for him. If this hadn't happened, he could have played with Enxi too. This thought was like a thorn in his heart.

But what could he do? He still had many tasks to complete, and these tasks were all too dangerous; the deadline a year from now was like a ticking time bomb.

We can't drag others down with us, especially Eun-hee. For now, maintaining our current distance is best. So, let's leave it at that for now. That's the best course of action.

Although he didn't know why, he was so unlucky. It was bad enough that he was unlucky, but everyone who came into contact with him was also unlucky.

Anxiety and some inexplicable emotions overwhelmed him, and tears streamed down his face, more and more.

"Leave me alone, don't leave me"—these thoughts are so contradictory, aren't they? People with such contradictions rarely have a good ending...

……

After crying, Mingning felt much better. After taking a shower, she went back to her room to rest. She was actually very tired, but she just couldn't fall asleep.

Eun-hee is really amazing, and a lot of people like him, so he wouldn't care so much about himself.

I feel a little disappointed, but I have to force myself to calm down. The things I need to do now can only be done when I'm calm.

Just as he was thinking this, his system panel suddenly appeared in the void.

Rebirth System 999 suddenly sent the following message: [Notification: Current attributes have changed]

Ming Ning thought there was a new mission or some change in the mission, and his heart was in his throat again. He looked closely at the panel and saw that an external [Mood Monitor] had appeared on his attribute page.

Is someone... spying on him?

Mingning opened the so-called "mood monitor" to check.
