Chapter 1

Su Yu met Mi Le again in the practice room of the debut preparatory class.

On the first day back from the National Day holiday, everyone was lazy and hadn't adjusted well yet.Stuck and stepped into the exclusive practice room on the basement floor, while chatting about where to go and what to do during the vacation, while pretentiously preparing for warm-up, the atmosphere that should have been tense to race against time was replaced by laziness and laziness.

This definitely didn't start today, Su Yu thought.

And at this moment, Yang Hai, the trainee management director, walked in with a handsome boy.At that moment, everyone's actions stopped, like a movie with the pause button pressed.The piano played by Xu Yue stopped abruptly. Ji Chen and Xie Yaoqi withdrew their teasing hands from Lin Kaifeng. An Mu and Xia Tian put down the score, and Su Yu stopped strumming the guitar strings. They all gathered on the boy.

Mi Le felt a little uncomfortable, subconsciously dodged back, but Yang Hai took him to the front after only half a step.

"This is Mi Le, 19 years old, officially entering the debut preparatory class today." Yang Hai announced.

No one said anything. At this sensitive moment, everyone has their own ideas.Su Yu vaguely remembered the last time he saw Mi Le, who seemed to have grown to his shoulders, with a little baby fat on his face, looking like a child.However, the boy in front of him has completely changed at this moment. He is taller. Although he is half a head shorter than himself, he is still considered tall; the baby fat has faded, and the pointed chin is more feminine.

Compared with the childish cuteness three years ago, Mi Le has grown up to be more beautiful.

However, his good looks are different from Ji Chen's indistinguishable beauty.Although Mi Le is delicate and handsome, he is not feminine, but more like a warm and gentle Mr. Pianpian, with an elegant temperament and noble upbringing.Even though he is wearing an ordinary white T-shirt and sweatpants at the moment, and his naturally curly hair is not carefully taken care of, it is a bit messy, but it can still be seen at a glance that he is of extraordinary origin, especially the fair face and the With clear eyes, he looked like the young master of a rich family who was ignorant of the world.

Su Yu couldn't help laughing. He remembered that when he first lived with Mi Le three years ago, children always liked to leave the door open.When asked why, Mi Le explained hesitantly that a gentleman should not close the door when he is alone with others in the room.Su Yu has also been taught similar etiquette, but it should be when he is alone with the lady. What do the two men have to avoid?Mi Le lowered his head, his cheeks flushed, and he closed the door tightly again.

He was really a good and obedient child, Su Yu recalled.

Yang Hai slapped Mi Le again, "Why are you standing there? Why don't you say hello?"

"Hello, seniors, my name is Mi Le." He bowed respectfully, his posture was very low, completely different from the ignorant but flamboyant appearance at the beginning, as if all the fresh edges and corners had been smoothed out.

That's what being a trainee is all about.

Stepping into the country of dreams with lofty ambitions, after half a year or a year of struggle, I clearly realize that I am just an ant pressing on the bottom of the pyramid, and I may be kicked out at any time, without any pride, pride, or even maintaining dignity The only capital is the practice of day after day, no end and hope.

This is Su Yu's sixth year as a trainee, and he knows this better than anyone else.

Yang Hai introduced to Mi Le one by one the other people in the preparatory class, a total of 7 people - Ji Chen in charge of Rap, Lin Kaifeng and Xia Tian in charge of dance, Su Yu and Xu Yue in charge of vocals, and Almighty , To be honest, they are called Xie Yaoqi and An Mu whose positions are unknown.

When introducing himself, Su Yu waved to him slightly, but Mi Le just blinked his eyes and nodded slightly, without showing the intimacy in the past.Su Yu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, did he not remember himself?

Mi Le joined the company two years later than Su Yu. At that time, Su Yu happened to live alone in a room with two people, so Mi Le was naturally arranged to be his roommate.But it was only a short three months. Later, Su Yu was promoted to the debut preparatory class, changed dormitories, and the two never saw each other again.

Although the time we spent together was a bit shorter, and the time we separated was a bit longer, but after all, we're not children, so we shouldn't be so forgetful, right?What's more, Su Yu felt that Mi Le should like him very much. At that time, he always stuck behind him like a little tail, and his heart melted when he yelled at each other.

Su Yu is an only child.He lived overseas when he was a child, and most of the families around him had brothers and sisters. At that time, he hoped that he could have a cute and obedient brother.And Mi Le just satisfied his brother's heart. Although Mi Le was a little slow and shy at the beginning, he got acquainted with Su Yu after a while, and the two got along pretty well during those three months.

It's just——Su Yu looked at Mi Le, who was concentrating on dancing alone——now he's probably back on the spot again.

"What does it mean to be parachuted in at this time?"

Xie Yaoqi's voice came from the side, and Su Yu looked, and saw him and other people gathered together and commenting on this unexpected guest.Obviously, apart from Su Yu, no one particularly welcomed Mi Le.

"This dance is not very good, who do you want to squeeze out by relying on connections?" Xie Yaoqi muttered.

Su Yu frowned, and was about to speak when Lin Kaifeng, who was sitting on the ground tying his shoelaces, raised his head first, "Relying on relationships?"

"Otherwise?" Xie Yaoqi rolled her eyes, "There has been no personnel transfer in the preparatory class for a year, and the seven of us have been working together. The company has released news that a new boy group will be launched at the end of the year, and the final assessment will be next month. He What is it that is not predetermined to come in now?"

"Rely on strength." Lin Kaifeng spit out three words faintly, turned around and went to practice by himself, obviously not interested in such conjectures that were full of imagination.

Xie Yaoqi curled her lips, Su Yu couldn't listen anymore, "Mi Le is a regular trainee, and he joined the company two years later than me, not the kind of airborne you mentioned."

so what?Xie Yaoqi thought to herself, after entering the circle, there are too many people who have climbed to the top, and those who come in at this time must not be promoted normally.

"Anyway, if he squeezes any of us out, I'll never end with him." Xie Yaoqi said angrily.

Xu Yue pursed his lips, "No one is eliminated by him. No one has ever promised us anything. Even if he doesn't come in, some of us will be eliminated."

The group of people fell silent for an instant, and his words were like a sharp stab at the fact that everyone knew but was unwilling to admit.

Xie Yaoqi was confused, and hurriedly said, "What are you talking about, the seven of us will definitely debut together."

However, everyone knows that these words are just self-consolation in private, and no one understands what the company means.Su Yu has been in the debut preparatory class for more than three years. He knows better than anyone that Xie Yaoqi's words are just a beautiful delusion, and the reality is far crueler than they imagined.

The trainees below are always desperately trying to come in, as if the preparatory class is a heaven full of dawn, or at least a place close to heaven, as if as long as they enter, they are one step closer to their debut, but they forget that heaven and hell are only There is a thin line between them.The trainees in the preparatory class will never be relegated to the normal class, and there are only two paths in front of them - to make their debut or to be eliminated forever, and the number of the latter is far greater than that of the former.

The most desperate thing in this world is not that there is no hope, but that you have had hope but watched it shatter in front of your eyes, but you can't do anything about it.

During the lunch break, the seven of them went to the cafeteria together as usual, while Mi Le practiced dancing alone in the practice room with headphones on.Su Yu was dragged to the stairs, thought for a while and turned back, beckoning to the people in the practice room, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Mi Le took off the earphones, and the loss of physical strength made him a little confused. After he realized it, he quickly avoided his eyes and shook his head, "There are too many people now, I will eat later."

Su Yu, who was rejected, was a little disappointed and didn't think much about it.

It wasn't until the last 15 minutes of the lunch break that Mi Le ran into the cafeteria to order food. At this time, there was no long queue at the window. It took only 10 minutes from getting the food to sitting down and finishing eating. When the meal comes, at least 10 minutes are wasted in queuing.But it was too late, there was not much food left, Mi Le ate almost plain rice.

When they returned to the practice room, Mi Le was sitting in front of the piano practicing singing, cherishing every minute of time, this is what a trainee should look like.And they were all bewitched by the sense of superiority that their debut was approaching, and they relaxed themselves.

When Xu Yue walked over, Mi Le got up in a hurry and was about to give way, but he didn't know what Xu Yue said, and sat back embarrassedly.Xu Yue found another chair and sat beside him, and the two of them practiced vocalization and singing in front of the piano all afternoon.

The arrival of Mi Le is undoubtedly a shot in the arm. The preparatory class, which had been sloppy for a long time, finally restored the tense and fierce competition atmosphere this afternoon.

They were never partners, but competitors.

After the practice, Yang Hai came to take Mi Le to change the dormitory.

The dormitory of the debut preparatory class is separate from the dormitory of ordinary trainees. One suite has two bedrooms, and one bedroom has two people.He, Xie Yaoqi, and Ji Chen lived in Su Yu's suite, and Ji Chen lived in one room, so Mi Le was naturally arranged in his room.

"Don't unpack all the things, anyway, we will move in two months." Yang Hai saw that Mi Le was about to unpack one box after another, so he couldn't help but yelled casually.

After hearing this, Xie Yaoqi couldn't help thinking about the internal decision, rolled her eyes, and went back to her room angrily.Mi Le, who was slammed by the door, was neither humble nor overbearing. He sorted out the necessities on his own, and piled up the boxes that did not need to be opened in the corner, neat and clean.

Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He remembered that when Mi Le first came here, he didn't know anything, he couldn't even fold clothes, and he messed up thousands of clothes in the closet. Su Yu was always there Help clean up.But then Su Yu left, and sooner or later the 16-year-old Mi Le had to grow up and learn to be independent and take care of himself.

Before falling asleep, Su Yu wanted to chat with Mi Le, but found that Mi Le was nestling in the room learning music theory by himself, so it was not easy to disturb.Su Yu pulled Ji Chen over and told him, "Get a humidifier when you sleep at night. His nose is dry and nosebleeds are easy."

Ji Chen looked up and down with gossip eyes, "How do you know?"

"I slept with him before I entered the preparatory class," Su Yu explained, and he felt something was wrong after the words came out, and changed his words in embarrassment, "I mean we were roommates."

Ji Chen burst out laughing, "Did you say something about you? You want to cover it up. However, you two look very strange. Is it because he is not easy to get along with or do you think he is the same as Xie Yaoqi..."

"No." Su Yu interrupted and denied, he didn't think Mi Le was airborne by default. "He's easy to get along with, but he's a little slow to get along. We've only lived for three months, and we haven't seen each other for more than three years, so we're a little estranged." Su Yu's tone inevitably showed a bit of regret.

Ji Chen nodded, "Well, the kid looks a bit reserved. But it's okay," he patted Su Yu's back vigorously, "Sleep with him all night, there is no relationship that can't be broken, let the kid call me brother tomorrow Here you go."

As soon as the words fell, Ji Chen closed the door, blocking Su Yu in the corridor.Within a minute, Mi Le's frightened sound came from the bedroom.Su Yu gritted his teeth, Ji Chen's words didn't sound wrong. It really doesn't take any special opportunity for boys to become acquainted. After staying for one night, they can always let go after meeting honestly, but his teeth itch when he heard it. It's all bad.

At night, Su Yu, who was lying on the bed, repeatedly recalled the three months he spent with Mi Le. Although it had been a long time, it seemed that every detail happened yesterday, vivid and clear.

Unlike Xie Yaoqi, instead of making Su Yu feel threatened by Mi Le's joining, it inexplicably reassured him, as if the wandering traveler had finally found a place to take root.
