"Shanxue, why are you here?" Qi Sheng shouted at me: "Brother Qin is looking for you!"

I turned around and couldn't see his expression clearly.

It was the end of December, and it was freezing cold, and his white breath covered his face.

"I'll go right away." I gripped the phone tightly, listening to the monotonous "The person you dialed is temporarily unavailable", feeling anxious.

I called Yue Sheng's cell phone, and I haven't heard his voice for a long time.

The conditions in Yunshan County are slightly better than those in Yuejiazhai. I call Yue Sheng every day, but I only get through once.It was already mid-October, the signal was extremely poor, and the sound of the electric current drowned out his voice. I listened to him as if I were separated by a noisy road full of people and cars.

Only when he arrived in the county and called me on his landline, could I hear his voice clearly.

I'm very tired recently, the school has exams, Xingteng has to assess.

I could have given up my studies completely, but I knew that if I did, Yue Sheng would be disappointed.

I don't care what others say about me, it doesn't matter if I get a zero in the exam, but I don't want to let him down.

When he came back from Yunshan County during the Spring Festival, I wanted to show him my culture class results, let him touch my head, and praise me for being smart.

I hate people touching my head the most. Ji Chi was chased and beaten by me because of this, but I especially like Yue Sheng touching my head.Every time he touches it, I feel very peaceful in my heart, as if there are only me and him in the whole world.

As long as I'm with him, I'm not afraid of anything.

Half a month ago, Brother Qin—the person in charge of our group of trainees—began to arrange public performances for us, with meager income, mainly to see our on-the-spot reaction and performance ability.

I suddenly grew taller, from a medium height to an altitude role (one), but I am not the tallest, the tallest is Ji Chi.

My size and my looks allow me to take center stage in any dance.Brother Qin said that as long as I perform normally, it will be absolutely fine to pass the final assessment.

But I was still nervous, I was like a patient who was out of medicine and needed to hear Yue Sheng's voice to get better.

Fine snowflakes fell, I ran out of the practice room without a coat, my heart beat fast and I was sweating all over while waiting for the call to be connected, only then did I feel the cold, shivering, I put away my phone and walked to Brother Qin's office.

To my surprise, he told me that the company had chosen four stage names for me based on my characteristics, and it was up to me to decide which one to use in the end.

It never occurred to me to change my name.

My name is Shanxue, Yueshanxue, I was named by Yue Sheng when I was nine years old in a place where I could see snow-capped mountains.

The snow on the top of the snow mountain does not melt all year round, and it will accompany its mountains and the sun.

"Why did you change your name?" I asked this question with a bit of anger. "My name is just fine."

Brother Qin's face, which is not inferior to that of a celebrity, froze slightly, probably not understanding why I resisted.

After a while, he said, "It's not a name change, your name is still Yue Shanxue, but you need to add a stage name."

"Why?" I still don't understand, "What's wrong with Shanxue?"

Brother Qin sighed, "If you want to become an idol in the future, every move you make must go through the most professional packaging. Choosing a stage name that suits your personality is the first step. Shanxue, the company has already started packaging you, don't you understand? ?”

I almost threw all the displeasure in my heart on my face, but I held back.I am different from those teenagers like Ji Chi and Qi Sheng who grew up in normal families. I have endured hardships and know when to give in.

And I can hear the meaning of Brother Qin's words.

We have not signed a formal contract with Xing Teng, and now we are only trained by Xing Teng. After passing the final assessment, we will be considered artists under Xing Teng.

Brother Qin said that the company began to package me, implying that I had been "admitted" in advance.

I calmed down, still didn't want a stage name, and asked, "Do I have to choose one?"

To be honest, none of the four stage names he showed me sounded better than my original name.

Brother Qin nodded, and said earnestly: "The company is also doing this for your own good."

I said, "Can I reply in a few days? I haven't decided which one to choose yet."

Brother Qin smiled, "Of course, don't worry about the stage name, just let me know when the contract is officially signed. Go back and prepare for the assessment the day after tomorrow."

Back in the practice room, I really wanted to find someone to ask about my stage name.

But only those who are sure to stay will have a stage name. I don't see who will definitely stay.

Ji Chi and Qi Sheng are very dangerous. Although they look good and seem to be rich, their singing and dancing skills are average.

Suddenly, I saw Chen Xing coming in from the door.

He must have been called by Brother Qin, right?

In the last assessment, he was ahead of me. He has also worked hard in the past few months and has improved significantly. In terms of level, we are definitely the best.

Even I was asked to choose a stage name, and he must choose a stage name too.

After all, the word Chen Xing is too common.

"What stage name do you plan to have?" I ran to sit next to Chen Xing.

"Huh?" He looked at me in surprise, "Stage name?"

I was also surprised, "Didn't you go out just now to talk about your stage name with Brother Qin?"

He was at a loss, "I ate badly yesterday, so I went to the bathroom."

I:"……"

He looked at me for a while, "Brother Qin gave you a stage name?"

I suddenly didn't know how to answer.

He froze for a few seconds and said in surprise, "You already..."

I quickly covered his mouth, "Shh, Brother Qin didn't say it clearly!"

Chen Xing broke free from my hand with a strange expression on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

He shook his head, laughed again, and whispered, "Then congratulations."

"You're sure to be fine." I didn't say it in a scene.

Among all the trainees, the one I admire the most is Chen Xing. He is not as tall as me, but he is equal to me in everything else.

As for looks, we're very different types.

But after I finished speaking, Chen Xing lowered his head, looking worried.

I didn't get through to Yue Sheng, and I was pretending to have something wrong, but seeing that he was in a bad mood, I still asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I might not be able to sign the contract," he said.

My first reaction was that he felt tired and stressed, and he didn't want to do this job anymore.

But he said that it was because Xing Teng didn't like him and he couldn't pass the final assessment.

This is nonsense, I don't believe it at all.

How could Xing Teng look down on him?Is Xing Teng blind?

If even he can't sign the contract, what will Ji Chi and Qi Sheng do?

Last week, they also told me with great confidence, let’s form a group to debut, they are older, they can make a CP, I am the youngest, I am the center and the youngest.

"Ji Chi is not worried, what are you worried about?" I encouraged Chen Xing, "You can do it."

Hearing Ji Chi's name, Chen Xing smiled bitterly.

I think he is just too stressed, just relax.

However, I passed the assessment two days later, Ji Chi and Qi Sheng also passed, but Chen Xing became the loser.

He went back to the dormitory to pack his luggage, took off the radiant performance clothes on the stage, and put on the gray down jacket, all the brilliance was gone at once.

I ran back to the dormitory out of breath, just in time to see him close the suitcase.

"Shanxue." He smiled at me, "I'll be leaving right away, come on."

"Why?" I blocked him, "Have you asked Brother Qin? I'll go find Brother Qin with you now."

Chen Xing was very calm, as if he had expected this ending a long time ago, "Don't ask, I know the reason."

I looked at him blankly.

"This is the third time I have lost the election." Chen Xing said: "In this line of work, strength is sometimes not the most important thing. What I lack is not strength, but background and luck. When you have no background, you have to have absolute You have to have a little bit of luck. I'm almost lucky, my appearance is not as attractive as yours."

"Shanxue." He added, "I envy you very much."

I watched Chen Xing leave with his luggage, his back was very lonely.

When he came around the corner, I suddenly called out to him, "Chen Xing!"

He didn't look back, just raised his hand and waved it lightly.

Xingteng's arrangements are in full swing. Only three days after the assessment, Brother Qin put the formal contract in front of me, "Have you decided?"

There are still more than ten days before the Spring Festival, and I keep calling Yue Sheng, asking him to help me choose a stage name.

I think he helped me choose the stage name, and that is also the name he gave me, so I feel at ease.

But the phone still couldn't be connected. He was in the most remote mountain, and I couldn't reach him no matter what.

"Can I wait until after the Spring Festival?" I asked Brother Qin, "My brother is back for the Spring Festival, and I want my brother to help me choose."

Brother Qin shook his head, "The operation will start immediately."

I know that this is not the time to be willful. I have worked hard since summer vacation for this contract.

Chen Xing wanted this contract so much.

I closed my eyes and waved my finger in the air, and when it landed, it was pointing to the name on the far right.

Ning Ye.
