DYUTVOBGA Chapter 32

>Topic: [Location Deville. I ran into a group of handsome celebrities at our school recording a program, does anyone know who they are?]

>Content: [[photo.jpg]*9]

1L: [So many handsome guys? They all look so young, I don’t recognize any of them. Am I getting old TT]

2L: [What are they wearing? It looks really expensive. Is it the school uniform of the OP’s school?]

3L: [These clothes… the aristocratic boys’ school trend has finally blown into the domestic entertainment industry.]

4L (OP): [Nonono, our school uniforms aren’t this handsome… though it might also be a problem with the people wearing them : )]

5L: [I was wondering what program could invite a whole bunch of young, handsome stars, then I opened the pics and saw my new bias…
OP, you hit the jackpot. These are trainees from the talent show “Next Stage”. This show is super popular lately, the people in your photos are walking traffic magnets…]

6L: [Emm… Sisters studying at Deville probably don’t need that bit of traffic, right?]

7L: [Sister, I advise you to delete this. The director emphasized no photography at the filming site. Even if you took pics secretly, don’t post them. Their styling and formations are supposed to be kept secret.]

8L (OP): [I didn’t photograph the formations. Look carefully, I specifically lowered the resolution on the photos I posted, you can’t even see their faces clearly, ok?]

9L: [OP, ignore them. Do you have any more photos? Take more, post more, I want to see [drooling]]

10L: [Asking, who’s the most handsome on site? The pics are indeed blurry, but OP’s school is really impressive, no wonder “NS” chose it as a filming location [thumbs up]]

11L (OP): [Actually, I won’t post other photos. I’ll share them with everyone after the program airs later [heart] The most famous thing about our school is the campus architecture. A lot of domestic modern idol dramas film here~ Everyone on site was very handsome. The ones that left a deeper impression were a green-eyed little brother, and a handsome guy with wheat-colored skin~]

12L: [Green-eyed little brother… QT’s features are so distinct he could never be an extra.]

13L: [Wheat-colored skin? Cui Yan?]

14L: [It’s definitely Cui Yan! Who else among the handsome, dark-skinned guys in NS is there besides Cui Yan?
I’ve been wanting to say this!! Every time we praise looks in our group, we never include Cui Yan. When will us dark-skinned fans stand up (loudly)]

15L: [Uh, the reason we don’t include Cui Yan is because he has low popularity and little material… With just one official promo poster, how can we praise him elaborately?]

16L: [? Cui Yan’s packing vlog was quite popular, the views broke a million.]

17L: [Of course the popularity is high when he shows skin…]

18L: [He shows skin if he wants to, who doesn’t want to see a dark-skinned, big chest, handsome guy boxing and bench pressing at the gym? If your bias doesn’t show skin, is it because they don’t want to? [surprised] It probably isn’t because they don’t have anything to show, right? [shush]]

19L: [Honestly, this batch of idol trainees has too many skinny bamboo poles. I wanted to complain when I saw the earlier leaked bus photos; each one is so thin it feels like I could knock them over with one punch. [awkward]

Being skinny is one thing, but their posture is bad too, they just look as if they have kidney deficiency… Sisters, if you have time, go see what the trainees from BKL are like. Eat something good, don’t waste money on these mediocre ones.]

20L: [Haha, you make me laugh. Don’t secretly try to put gold on BKL here, everyone knows BKL’s boss has a fetish for ugliness [vomit] Just look at the visuals from your 7th gen reserve debut group, like mantises putting on white powder or rats doing the yangko dance. Even the comments section of the official evaluation looks like forced hype. Why are you not busy photoshopping your bias and instead coming here to show off your presence?]

21L: [NS, you’re really famous now. Forget the before or after, all sorts of people come here to hate. I beg BKL fans to give up the aesthetic bullying tutorial.]

22L: [Yo yo yo, it’s incredible, your bias hasn’t even debuted yet and you’re already so arrogant. Pre-booking the next nationwide flop already. [666] Do you even know BKL members are like special forces and their skills are awesome? How can your patchwork, amateur survival show group compare? It’s your good fortune if you can even manage to cling to BKL.]

23L: [? What will you do if your bias becomes homeless in future? Your bias should be very happy to have a dog like you that comes to other people’s homes to pee and mark its territory, right? [covering mouth laughing]]

24L: [Stop fighting, stop fighting, everyone stop fighting. This was supposed to be a candid photo licking thread!!! Sisters, can’t we all just get along? [pitiful]]

…

>Topic: [Help.. I just found out my bias and I are actually alumni from the same school. I have just started my second year of high school, he graduated last year. We were inexplicably at the same school for a whole year!!!!]

1L: [Huh??? Looking at the tags you used… Ahhh, is your bias and my bias the same? [Gloomy face]]

2L: [OP, high five. I just found out about this tragedy too QAQ
But I asked around in the school’s big group chat. It seems QT’s student registration is just registered at our school. Besides exams, he usually doesn’t come to class. His family probably hired private tutors for him.]

3L: [I was from the same year as QT, now I’m in my first year of college. The little sister above is right. Quentin indeed doesn’t come to school often, but he was quite famous in our grade, after all, he’s handsome [thumbs up]]

4L: [Fellow graduate+1 , I never saw Quentin even once in all three years of high school. I had no interest in the school’s selection of school grass, class grass, beauty rankings etc., so I missed my chance. [crying in advance] Who would have thought the DV school grass selection wasn’t just abstract nonsense? These days there are actually real handsome guys on the list? [crying rivers]]

5L: [Wow… I feel like I accidentally entered a DV alumni group. I heard the young masters and ladies studying at DV all have an average A10 net worth, true or not?]

6L: [A10 is nothing, you know you can’t get in if you’re not from the top rich, nobility, royal bloodline, or oil tycoon families, right? [picking nose]]

7L: [Adding a dog head for the above, if we keep being this abstract, our DV is going to turn into Hogwarts where muggles aren’t allowed, sisters.]

8L: [Did anyone see the post exposing Quentin’s college entrance exam score?
They said Quentin was first in grade at Deville Σ(òДó|||)丿丿 Real or fake? The first place in the college entrance exam didn’t go to university but came to join a survival show???]

9L: [Take those words with a grain of salt. They’re all just talking without any evidence. I can also just say that QT got into Yanhai University [facepalm] Besides, being first place at Deville doesn’t have much weight. The whole school can’t even count ten people who seriously take the college entrance exam. Their school curriculum is vastly different from regular high schools, the exam content isn’t the same either, comparing them is meaningless.]

10L: [Indeed. Instead of focusing on that, it’s better to look at the photo of Quentin’s student ID card exposed next door O(≥▽≤)O
Aww our QT was actually blond with green eyes!!! 15-year-old QT was sooo tender ahhh (//`д′//), such a cute little fluffy lion, so adorable I could melt www, he totally like a doll, Q-chan.]

11L: [What?! That student ID photo wasn’t photoshopped? I thought it was AI…]

12L: [Blond! It’s actually blond!!!
Such a pure light gold color really isn’t dyed?! Even white people rarely have that hair color! It’s just like an anime character!]

13L: [Blond hair and blue eyes are the standard for silly beauties hehe… American sweetheart Quentin… heh… heheh… [drooling]]

14L: [Damn it! How is QT seducing me every day like this (annoyed)! How am I supposed to quit lusting like this! Damn program team, update faster! Daily question: when does the “NS” main episode start? [knocking on the wooden fish]]

15L: [I heard “NS” went to Deville today for an MV trial shoot. They’ll go again another day. Does Deville allow outsiders to visit the campus? Or is there any kind-hearted, beautiful sister willing to take me in for a look? I’ll pay [starry eyes]]

16L: [They definitely don’t allow outsiders on campus.]

17L: [DV students probably don’t lack money haha.]

18L: [Help… please don’t do this. Never mind whether it would disturb their filming, the main point is that as fans, we shouldn’t disturb high school students’ studies! Everyone, be more mature, don’t create negative publicity for QT!!
The first round of ticket sales starts next week anyway, and there will be second round, third round, finals later, there will be plenty of chances to meet them, sisters!!!]

19L: [Wuu… okay…]

*

Before the official recording of the theme song MV, the program team roughly divided the 101 trainees into four groups.

Every morning, the trainees practiced separately in four practice rooms according to their groups. In the afternoons, they went to the square downstairs to rehearse uniformly according to the formation.

Among them, the top 22 trainees from the theme song assessment were placed in one group.

Xue Mingzhu barely made it into the group, scraping by at 21st place, while Wen Xinyi fell to 38th place due to his basic zero foundation in dance.

There was no helping it; the practice time was simply too short. No matter how hard he stayed up late practicing, it was difficult to catch up with the other students who had a foundation. The fact that he managed to get 38th place was mostly thanks to his vocal skills, which were on par with a professional singer.

As for dance… Wen Xinyi had already tried his best to remember all the movements.

According to the formation arranged by the director, Quentin, as the first place, occupied the tip of the inverted triangle alone.

Behind him in order were Zhou Zilin, Yan Qiao, Cui Yan, and Fang Xu. Further back, the third row consisted of seven people: Yan Wenbing, Cheng Shaozhi, Zhong Qu, Lu Kui, and others.

The fourth row after that consisted of ten people, including Xue Mingzhu.

The above four rows totaled 22 members, who were the first group of trainees assigned to practice in the Class A practice room.

These past two days of rehearsals were undoubtedly a good opportunity for Zhong Qu to get close to Quentin. Moreover, Quentin and Yan Qiao were often together, so he could definitely use his relationship with Yan Qiao to strike up a conversation with Quentin.

He did indeed do that, but he forgot that Quentin wasn’t only surrounded by Yan Qiao.

“Hey, Quentin, did you know Zhong Qu before?”

Xue Mingzhu finished the last of the water in his bottle and looked down at the boy beside him, curious. “Why does he act like he’s so familiar with you?”

Quentin lay sprawled on the floor in the corner of the practice room, limbs out, neck tilted back, eyes closed.

His sweat-dampened black hair was disheveled, his face was flushed and lips were slightly parted, looking completely exhausted, as if his soul had flown away.

His expression didn’t change much at this question. His eyelids fluttered, and a hint of green leaked through the slit, as if he was about to close his eyes and fall asleep again.

“…No.”

He said slowly.

Xue Mingzhu had much better stamina than Quentin. Even after dancing continuously for over an hour, he only had a light sweat.

He crushed the empty plastic water bottle with one hand. The crinkling sound was like a lullaby, and when he deliberately lowered his voice, it sounded like a late-night radio sleep aid broadcast.

“Are all the BKL people this familiar?” he muttered. “But this Zhong Qu seems more reliable than Yan Qiao, and his personality seems pretty good too.”

He had just brought them water. To have made so many friends just one week into the program, is this the legendary high-EQ social butterfly?

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the strange gaze from the person beside him. “…Hey, what’s that look? Did I say something wrong?”

Quentin blinked, his voice like a drowsy murmur: “Nothing… I just think that you must be very easy to fool.”

Xue Mingzhu rubbed his ear, his tone unconsciously rising: “Huh? What the hell, I’m easy to fool?”

The boy with the fierce-looking, grumpy face pursed his lips speechlessly, looking down at Quentin’s drowsy state.

He paused for a second, then unconsciously reached out to brush aside the hair blocking Quentin’s eyes. “…Aren’t you going to cut your hair? Isn’t it irritating your eyes, keeping it this long?”

As he spoke, his fingertip accidentally hooked onto the soft eyelashes resting against the thin eyelids.

“…”

Xue Mingzhu collected himself. “Hey, I’ve been wanting to ask, what’s up with your eyelashes? Did you specially dye them blonde to match your eyes? Did you used to be into cosplay?”

Blonde eyelashes with green eyes…

The image of Quentin wearing a silk robe, casually open, suddenly popped into his head. He instantly felt that “specially dyeing eyelashes blonde for looks” was something this guy would do.

‘Tsk tsk, so secretly sultry.’

Quentin could tell this person was secretly grumbling in his heart, but it didn’t seem like he was saying anything bad, so he didn’t bother with him.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again after two seconds, blinking away the itchiness caused by Xue Mingzhu’s fingers just moments before, and said casually: “It’s not dyed, it was originally this color.”

Xue Mingzhu raised an eyebrow: “Huh? You’re kidding me, what kind of person has blonde eyelashes?”

An albino? That didn’t seem right either… who would only lack melanin in their eyelashes!

Quentin stared quietly at Xue Mingzhu with a look that said he thought he was an idiot: “Is it possible that my hair is the part that’s dyed?”

Xue Mingzhu: “…”

Xue Mingzhu: “??? You’re a blonde? A natural blonde! Fuck, that’s so awesome!”

He widened his eyes, making his black pupils appear even smaller, like the shocked dot eyes in manga, and for once, his face didn’t look fierce. The combination of fair skin and baby fat finally had a presence on his face.

“I wanted to dye my hair after the college entrance exam. If the hairdresser hadn’t said my hair was fine, soft, and flat, and bleaching it too light would make it break, I would have dyed it platinum blond right then.”

Xue Mingzhu grabbed his hair gloomily: “You, a natural blonde, actually specifically dyed it black… Damnvit, what were you thinking? It doesn’t match your style at all! With all those flashy clothes in your suitcase, you should have dyed it red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple to match.”

“Are you an idiot?”

Quentin lifted his eyelids: “Take a look, out of these hundred-plus trainees, is there anyone who has dyed hair? Wouldn’t I stand out like a sore thumb with yellow hair mixed in with them?”

Xue Mingzhu looked at Quentin as if he were a freak: “Buddy, we’re here for a talent show, not hide-and-seek. What kind of logic is that? And you call me an idiot… you’re the one who’s so stupid!”

Others aren’t even allowed to dye their hair if they want to, and this natural blonde actually dyed his hair black on purpose to not stand out! Who’s really the dumb one here!

“And also, did you just roll your eyes?”

Xue Mingzhu looked suspiciously at Quentin, who appeared calm, and was about to say something else when he saw someone stop in front of them and sit down next to Quentin on his own.

It was that familiar, social butterfly Zhong Qu from Class B.

Zhong Qu had a smile on his face, showing no awareness of interrupting someone else’s conversation: “Hey, no one’s sitting here, right? What were you guys talking about? I saw you sitting here for almost twenty minutes, are you planning to just sit here until lunchtime?”

“…So what if we are.”

Xue Mingzhu looked very puzzled

Zhong Qu blinked, and asked tentatively: “I was thinking of joining you guys for lunch. How about we call Yan Qiao too? The four of us can just sit at one table?”

Xue Mingzhu: “.”

He took back what he said about Zhong Qu having high emotional intelligence, this guy was a plant sent by Yan Qiao, right!
