Dressed as a top-notch stand-in for the president

The live broadcast room where the results of "Dream Chasing 100" were announced.

On the left are five girls from the group Ji Yu and Rong Bai, and on the right are the other five people including Chu Nanxing and Chang Xue. Both groups are dueling in the song and dance of "Sun".

It's up to the audience to decide.

Rong Bai pressed her elbows on her knees, her upper body leaned forward slightly, and the long black tape engraved with English letters on her sleeves fell down and spun around. Hitomi, although she didn't show much emotion in her expression, she was nervous from the way she stared at the result screen without turning away.

The remaining three girls in the same group were sitting in the back. One of them used to be in class F because she practiced too hard and went to the bathroom to break down and cry. At that time, in the theme song assessment, this girl performed very well and went directly to the class. After joining Class C, now he is picked up in Ji Yu's group, and the training is getting harder and harder.

At that moment, she leaned forward from behind, hugged Ji Yu's neck, and asked her in a low voice:

"Teacher Ji..."

"I'm so nervous."

Ji Yu patted her backhand, and just as she said "it's okay", the number of No.5 votes for the two groups was displayed on the screen.

Ji Yu's No.5 in Group A was the girl who was nervously supporting her, with 26 votes.

And Chu Nanxing's No. 5 votes in Group B: 17.

The difference is not huge.

Chang Xue held Chu Nanxing's hand nervously, exhaling continuously: "I hate this atmosphere, my heart can't take it anymore..."

The voice just fell.

The No.4 and No.3 of the two groups were also announced at the same time.

The fourth and third votes in Group A are 33 and 35.

Group B is 21 and 40.

The current total number of votes in Group A is 94, while in Group B it is 78, a difference of 16 votes.

The four people who haven't been announced happen to be members of Class A, Chu Nanxing, Chang Xue, Ji Yu, and Rong Bai.

From a certain level, Rong Bai and Ji Yu are similar in strength, and there may be a situation where the votes are divided. In contrast, Chu Nanxing occupies the C position, and Chang Xue is not as prominent as her on the stage. The number of votes in the B group is extremely high. It is likely that Chu Nanxing will dominate.

Relevant speculations flashed through my mind——

auditorium.

VIP front row.

There are two middle-aged people sitting in a slightly off position. Although they also symbolically hold banners of support in their hands, it is obvious that their identities are more like the family members of some of the players than the young star-chasers .

Judging from their attire, it is obvious that they are either rich or expensive, and the camera never sweeps this way, which protects the privacy of the two very well.

The man sitting on the left has not obvious signs of aging in the neatly combed sideburns, but the white ones are not too much, and are well hidden by the black hair. Only some deep nasolabial folds on the face and a suit A little bit of loose skin exposed at the neckline reveals his age.

Compared to him, the woman on the right is slightly better maintained, but she is a little thinner, and she looks a little weak.

At this moment, watching the live split-screen broadcast of the backstage votes, she nervously clenched her husband's arm, and even unconsciously wrinkled the expensive suit fabric. She had never lost her composure in the past, but today she seemed to have forgotten these details— —

She stared fixedly at the stage and murmured:

"Wade..."

"Did you see it just now?"

"She, that child, when she dances...too, so much alike..."

Chu Huaide was also shocked by Ji Yu's stage just now, and fixed his eyes on that person for a long time, trying to find a little bit similar to his eldest daughter in her, but this is not only absurd, but also very difficult.

Chu Jianyu was only 16 years old when he left.

Although she is slim, she has not been carved and matured by time, like a budding summer lotus, she has only opened three or two small pink petals, and one can only glimpse a little bit of it from her still immature face. What it will look like in the future.

However, Ji Yu on the stage——

Her every frown and smile, every gesture of her hand, has been carefully polished by the society for many years.

Chu Huaide had actually investigated this girl. She lost her father when she was young, and almost went to and from all her relatives. She didn't experience a complete family atmosphere, and maybe she didn't know what a father's love and a mother's love are.

What's more, the friends who grew up with her later suffered such treatment in the circle, so that she suffered from this kind of shadow for a long time in her life, and he even heard that the girl was also prone to depression.

There is not much content shown in the information, and you can read it in less than three pages. You can easily catch a lot of people like this on the street. After all, who has grown up in this society so far, who can not What about the pain that people say?

Chu Huaide could guess the character of this girl named Ji Yu even if he closed his eyes.

It should be a pleasing personality, accustomed to giving kindness to others, praying for rewards from others, eager to be recognized, not easy to make enemies with others, swallowing difficulties and hardships encountered, every time tortured by fate They all tried to shout, but no one could hear her voice. Even if she disappeared into this world one day, she would die silently without anyone's attention.

——At least that's what the information told him.

However, Chu Huaide thought of the stage just now. Even though the two daughters he had cultivated showed great enthusiasm for dancing, he actually knew nothing about dancing. Be prepared for the stage to feel loud and uninteresting.

But Ji Yu's dance conveyed a kind of... indescribable power.

Chu Huaide has never discovered that he still has a latent artistic talent. Now that he has a little memory, he can still think of Ji Yu's high-pitched voice during the chorus, and the look in his eyes towards the audience at that time.

It seems that there is a mass of energy naturally existing in her body, and once she invokes it, she can spread this energy around, making everyone feel the same as her...

Perhaps this is the result of her struggle from those sufferings.

Chu Huaide thought that Ji Yu was likely to become an outstanding entertainer.

but.

It won't be her daughter.

Since Chu Jianyu was born, she has been held in the palm of their hands by the couple, and she grew up with all the doting. She should be confident, public, and make all her peers be impressed by her charm.

He will protect her growth in the name of father, and his wife will give her enough care. Growing up in such an environment, Chu Jianyu can easily have resources and wealth that others cannot get in a lifetime, and her character and temperament , enough to allow her to easily mobilize these resources, and not easily be tempted by fame and fortune.

Thinking of this, Chu Huaide couldn't help touching the hairstyle he had already made, and happened to touch the place where there was a little snow on his temples. It was during the six months since Chu Jianyu left that year. Excessive blows, his body quickly collapsed, and Chu Nanxing was extremely rebellious. He shouldered the pressure of his own heart, the pressure of the group, and the responsibility of taking care of his family... within half a year, his hair turned gray.

No matter how many times that piece of hair was dyed and regrown, it would never turn black again.

"A Su..."

He opened his mouth and said with a sigh, as if he could empathize with his wife's touch: "We came to see Nan Xing, didn't you just want to ask her how her life here is?"

When Yu Su was reminded like this, her eyes flickered, and deep guilt appeared in her eyes.

She knew that she was always immersed in the pain of losing her eldest daughter and couldn't get over it, so that she didn't pay attention to the growth of her younger daughter. Even when Chu Nanxing went abroad, she finally followed Meng Rendong's suggestion and persuaded Chu Huaide to let him agree. The choice—

But she knew that she was not a conscientious enough mother, at least for her youngest daughter.

During the years when she lost Chu Jianyu, when she saw Chu Nanxing, she would think of her lost eldest daughter, and even couldn't help but want to bring up the topic of Chu Jianyu, as if forcing others to remember and share with her. She felt guilty for failing to take good care of her eldest daughter, and even forced everyone to share her guilt.

Chu Nanxing couldn't bear this feeling of suffocation, and at first he would endure to stay by her side, but after a long time, he couldn't help but get angry at her hysterically:

"Chu Jianyu, Chu Jianyu! Mom, you will only see her forever!"

"Before she was still alive, you thought she was your best daughter, but now that she is gone, you still refuse to look at me... You pray for her, light up lamps and tablets in temples for her, and even copy her Sutra, fasting, you just have to torture yourself, why do you let me do the same?"

"I didn't kill her!"

"You are the same, you are all the same, are you all suspecting that I am the one who killed her back then! The police have already proved my innocence, so why do you press my head to convict me!"

"You like Chu Jianyu so much, why did you give birth to me in the first place!"

"Are you wishing that the person who died in that lake was actually me!"

……

Yu Su was taken aback by her youngest daughter's outburst.

She sat there dumbly, as if she was meeting this little girl who also came out of her stomach for the first time. Following Chu Nanxing's words, she began to blame herself for a while, feeling that she was trying to take good care of everyone in the family, but in the end even who Neither look good.

Later, Chu Nanxing couldn't bear to be in the same room with her anymore, and she didn't want to hear the name Chu Jianyu again, which made Yu Su feel that kind of self-blame at a loss. She even wondered if she was too sad, always pulling The younger daughter went to recall the tragedy of that day, which led to the younger daughter's evasive resistance to the older daughter.

Later, when Chu Nanxing was abroad, every time Yu Su wanted to see her, she would catch up with physical discomfort, so she put it off year after year, but in the end, she didn't succeed even once.

It wasn't until this year that her physical and mental state improved a little——

Now Yu Su also understands that the Sri Lankan has passed away, and the living are always more important than those who have left.

She wanted to learn to be a good mother again, so she was thinking about repairing the stiff relationship between Chu Nanxing and her family, but... just saw Ji Yu's accident.

Yu Su murmured to her husband's words: "Yes, how is Nan Xing doing here? Does anyone bully her? Is she working hard?"

Seeing her distraught appearance, Chu Huaide patted her hand reassuringly:

"she's fine."

"The director of this show is a friend she knows, the daughter of the Wang family, as you know, she played with her when I was a child...and Jian Yu and the others."

Yu Su breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously remembered what happened just now, and said slowly: "You know? Huaide, I accompanied Jian Yu and Nan Xing to the dance classroom before, and I saw them dance. This is how Ji Yu dances. , is too similar to Jianyu...I won't admit it...how could I recognize my child?"

Chu Huaide sighed in his heart.

He thought to himself, maybe under normal circumstances, his wife really wouldn't admit the wrong person.

but.

He has seen Yu Su's physical condition in the past few years, not to mention that he followed the whole process of the child's funeral, how could he allow this ridiculous speculation to continue?

So Chu Huaide changed the subject and motioned her to look at the screen: "The results of No.1 and No.2 are out—"

Sure enough, Yu Su hurried to watch, wondering if Chu Nanxing could win the championship.

As a result, the content that jumped out on the broadcast screen made her eyes widen.

Group A.

No.2:? ? ?Votes: ? ? ?

No.1:? ? ?Votes: ? ? ?

Group B.

No.2: Changxue Tickets: 82

No.1: Number of Chu Nan Star votes: ? ? ?

Looking at the ellipsis in Group A, which was so perfunctory that they refused to reveal their names for everyone to see, the audience was full of question marks.

What do you mean?

There was a commotion at the scene, and the fans were whispering among each other. Someone made a shocking guess: "In the first few groups, only the No. 1 group will not be announced. Waiting for the final announcement of the No. 1 group with the total number of votes—"

"Could it be...Ji Yu and Rong Bai tied the ticket?!"

"It's not incomprehensible, Mr. Bo's performance in the C position is really explosive, but sister Yu can really present a performance that is completely different from her and at the same time shocking. In addition, many of their fans come today. Tickets are not impossible..."

"But in this case, Group A may not necessarily win. Look at the first few groups. After the powerful bigwigs perform in the same group, the gap between the top two is very small. On the contrary, it is not as good as the other group C bigwigs. Juechen... Thinking about it this way, do you think they have a higher probability of losing instead?"

"Indeed, and Chu Nanxing's B group started to perform first, with this foreshadowing, Ji Yu and Rong Bai probably won't be able to beat them."

"I heard that the stars have already started to celebrate in advance!"

……

Chu Huaide told Yu Su some of the news he had heard, and saw that they would have a break in the intermission after these performances before going to the hall to watch the broadcast together, so he took Yu Su up and informed the staff, Then he was led to the backstage in a small passage nearby in a low-key manner.

Both groups of personnel, Chu Nanxing and Ji Yu, came out of the small room where the results were announced——

Facing them was the Chu family couple coming towards them.

Rong Bai, who was walking in the front, glanced at them calmly, nodded to them, and politely made way for them. At the same time, he conveniently pushed the head of the girl who was wrapping up behind her and looking at them curiously, and then continued to move forward. Walk.

After walking far away, I heard the other party come over and ask in a low voice:

"Wow, who was that imposing couple just now?"

Rong Bai lazily replied, "Chu Nanxing's parents."

As she spoke, she looked back, wondering if the people in the same group had followed.

In the end, I happened to see Ji Yu, who was walking at the back, looking at the two of them.

In fact, Ji Yu wanted to ask the system if Si Tian was still around. By the way, he was wondering if he could get close to the staff and ask them to sneak Si Tian in. Anyway, many contestants had friends who came to the backstage to secretly meet with them——

at this time.

She ran into Chu Huaide and his wife who were coming this way.

In fact, the first thing I saw was Yu Su's appearance, because this woman has a very good temperament and is too beautiful. She seems to have been treated particularly favorably by the years. Her eyes are warm and bright. At first glance, she is a rich lady with a self-cultivation and good temper.

the strange thing is.

When the other party looked at her, his eye sockets were inexplicably red, and his eyelashes moved slightly, as if he had a lot to say to her, but he couldn't say it out. Finally, the man beside him patted the back of his hand lightly, and then crossed over. She gently called out to the person behind her:

"South Star."

Ji Yu stood there, motionless, feeling the fragrance blowing by, and the two of them passed her and went behind.

After an unknown period of time, the staff in the corridor were reminding her to go back to the hall if she had nothing to do. She turned around and saw nothing.

"Happy?"

The system made a sound in her head in confusion.

Ji Yu regained consciousness belatedly, touched the position of her chest, feeling inexplicable for the soreness that came up when she was looking at the woman just now, she blinked, and realized that she had been in a daze for too long, The eyes were a little dry, with a little physiological tears overflowing.

she thinks.

Could it be that Chu Nanxing's mother is too beautiful and friendly, making her, a child who has been in love for a long time, a little jealous of Chu Nanxing's treatment as the protagonist?

……

After staying like this for a while, she walked out following the staff's reminder, and asked the system a little slowly: "Who were those two people just now?"

The system said, "Chu Nanxing's parents."

Ji Yu let out an "oh" and asked again: "What did you ask me to do?"

The system was a little dazed: "Didn't you call me first?"

Ji Yu: "Really?"

System: "Yes!"

Ji Yu: "Then what should I ask you to do?"

System: "I... you... Yuyu, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Yu pinched the bridge of her nose, as if she also realized that her mind was too distracted. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally got to the point: "Yes, let me ask you, is Si Tian still around here?"

……

Outside the venue, in a small private room of a high-end coffee shop.

Meng Rendong slowly stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, and Si Tian heard the fine "rustling" sound like white granulated sugar being stirred after the sugar cube in the cup was precipitated and broken.

Suddenly subconsciously pressed his abdomen.

She didn't dare to think that Meng Liandong was so addicted to sugar, how much sugar he had piled into her stomach in those years.

Meng Rendong saw that her complexion was different, and thought she was not feeling well. After asking aloud, he asked the waiter to bring a cup of hot water, and confirmed: "Are you really okay?"

Si Tian controlled his gaze from looking at her cup of coffee with sugar pile, and nodded.

Meng Rendong simply changed the topic back:

"Okay, let's go on—"

"Seven years ago, I went into your body, used your identity to know Ji Yu and got along for a period of time, and even took her to the stage together, accidentally making her debut before her... You're right here, right? ?”

Si Tian nodded.

Meng Rendong responded to his dream, and looked at her with some hesitation, as if he suspected that Si Tian was the kind of monster that could eat people's dreams, or a senior psychological master who could hypnotize people.

If it weren't for her information, it would show that this person was just an ordinary member of the disbanded girl group.

"But……"

Meng Rendong narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "To tell the truth, I have investigated you, let's ignore the strange supernatural topic of me crossing into your body, the so-called girl group I entered with your identity, There is no trace at all on the Internet."

But Si Tian glanced at her calmly, and lightly dropped a flat thunder:

"because--"

"I'm not from this world."

She stretched out her two hands, the index fingers were first parallel to each other, and then interlaced, and finally, as if she didn't even understand this complex space-time theory, she could only tell the truth that she could know:

"I checked."

"This world is similar to the world I have memories of. The general development of technology and civilization is similar, but there are differences in details. For example, I remember the names of several rich people in my original world, but there is no trace here. The same career , was done by someone else."

Although Meng Rendong was convinced by this bold assumption in his heart, he didn't show it on his face: "You have a mental illness, how can I believe that what you said is not delusional?"

The words fell.

Si Tian was not in a hurry to pick it up, instead he just held the hot water cup in front of him and gently blew the water mist inside.

She neither mentioned the matter of mental appraisal with Meng Liandong, nor did she talk about the fact that the two were clearly not related by blood, but they had a [-]% similar appearance. , Eyes like a pool of stagnant water stared at Meng Rendong.

Then ask, "You really don't remember?"

Meng Rendong: "..."

Si Tian stared at her with the same pair of black eyes, as if she could see through her heart and soul. After a long time, she shook her head lightly: "If you can find me, it means you remembered something... or I found some clues."

"And I, because you are Meng Rendong, am willing to tell you these things."

"You and I are sitting here chatting now, isn't it because you already believe in these absurd assumptions, and you just want to hear more details from me to verify your memory?"

Meng Rendong was silent for a moment, as if she had been persuaded, but also as if she had admitted the truth in her mouth.

Stirring the coffee stopped, she picked up the coffee cup, and put the Americano full of sugar and milk into her lips, feeling the bitterness still lingering in the sweet milk with the tip of her tongue, feeling a little novel for a while.

In fact, she had never tried drinking it like this.

Because of the Meng family's education and her current status, she is doomed not to add sugar to good coffee and destroy the original flavor of coffee in front of outsiders.

Today's meeting——

Perhaps from the moment they looked at each other, she was destined to put her trust in Si Tian.

After all, they have shared their bodies with each other, and even maintained a close roommate relationship for a long time. They seem to be able to feel each other's mood relatively easily.

It was rare for Meng Rendong to let go of the burden of image, sighed softly in satisfaction, and when he spoke to Si Tian again, the pretended indifference in his voice had quietly disappeared:

"Please continue."

She wants to know what happened next.
