Chapter 95: Chapter 92 Ying Han Xiao Man

Whew!

Yang Xiaoyue exhaled excitedly.

The show had been recording for over nine hours, and the results were unexpectedly good.

The participants displayed an entirely different side compared to when they were recruited.

Although the final cut wasn’t completed yet, Yang Xiaoyue was confident she could create a fantastic variety program with so much excellent material.

Yuwei and the others began to rest; the long recording session had left them utterly exhausted.

However, aside from a very few individuals, most of them embraced it with a normal mindset.

Outside the recording hall, a gentle drizzle had begun in the sky.

In the distance, countless lights shimmered like stars, refracting through the rain and mist.

"Yuwei, congratulations on making it into Class A." Lu Bingbing’s eyes held a trace of despondency; in the face of absolute strength, she had ultimately been defeated.

"This is just the beginning. The final outcome still depends on the audience." Yuwei smiled wryly.

Lu Bingbing also responded with a faint smile; she didn’t believe that Yuwei could make it to the end.

Although she was in Class B, she firmly believed that once the show aired, her "Cold-blooded Army" fanbase would secure her a debut slot.

As for Yuwei, no matter how extraordinary her dance skills were, she would ultimately be abandoned.

The thought lightened Lu Bingbing’s mood considerably. "Yuwei, it seems like Class A already has too many people."

Yuwei nodded. "Yes, after Lehua’s Meng Meixuan and Wu Zixuan were evaluated, there were three extra."

So far, the top 11 were:

Dance Group: Yang Ni, Lin Jiayi, Meimei, Yuwei, Wu Zixuan, Meng Meixuan.

Vocal Group: Zhang Ziqing, Xu Qianhua, Chen Afang, Wu Zhaoxiang, Liu Feiyu, Qiang Yueting, Li Zimeng.

Specialty Group: Lv Xiaoxue.

"I imagine the production team is probably struggling to decide which three to eliminate!" Lu Bingbing chuckled.

"It all comes down to how they make their choices. Those who stay might not necessarily go all the way, and those eliminated might not be out of the running." Yuwei said.

"Yuwei, what do you think the production team will do for eliminations?"

"It’ll have to be a head-to-head showdown. I think both the dance group and the vocal group will lose people."

"This is intentional on the production team’s part—they want to keep the audience hooked while also fueling our competitiveness, motivating those in Classes B and C to work harder."

Lu Bingbing was all too familiar with such tactics, yet being part of this process, they had no choice but to play along.

"That little friend of yours might turn out to be the dark horse," Lu Bingbing abruptly changed the subject.

"Maybe. She reminds me of Senior Fen." Yuwei smiled.

"Afang used to be acknowledged as Hanoi’s number-one beauty and a genius MC. It’s a pity she couldn’t let go of her issues and couldn’t persevere." Lu Bingbing spoke regretfully.

Yuwei inwardly smirked; she knew the whole story inside out. If she hadn’t encountered Wu Jingxiang back then, she might have been the next Afang.

"Based on Hanoi’s experience, as long as Penguin doesn’t edit out her screentime, she has the potential to go much further," Yuwei said confidently about her friend.

At that moment, Lv Fangxin was eating from a boxed meal provided by the crew.

Though she understood concepts like dieting and maintaining the figure expected of an idol, she had only been in the industry for a few months and couldn’t control herself.

After finishing her meal, she looked around, unsatisfied and wanting more.

To her disappointment, there wasn’t any extra, and she was too embarrassed to ask for more.

"Here, I didn’t eat mine," a gentle voice spoke beside her.

She looked up to find it was none other than Chen Yinghan, someone she deeply admired.

"Thank you. Aren’t you hungry?" Lv Fangxin, though asking, instinctively took the meal box.

"I’m just eating fruits and candy," Chen Yinghan said with a smile that, under the soft lighting of the hall, looked stunningly beautiful.

"We’ve met before!" Lv Fangxin cautiously said.

"At the train station, you called out to me."

"Yes! Back then, you were wearing this hat and carrying a guitar. You were so cool!"

"Haha! Don’t tell me the only thing you remember is my hat!"

"No, no! I also remember the way you turned back. It was like that of a princess."

After saying this, Lv Fangxin noticed the smile on Chen Yinghan’s face deepened, causing her to blush shyly.

"Fangxin, there’s still fruit over there with us. Let’s go grab some!" The beautiful twin sisters approached, giving a wary glance in Chen Yinghan’s direction.

Chen Yinghan returned to her aloof demeanor, nodding faintly at them in greeting.

"Chen Yinghan, I’m going to eat some fruit," Lv Fangxin said reluctantly before leaving.

"What, thinking about becoming friends with that little girl?" Lu Xiaoman’s slightly flippant voice drifted over to Chen Yinghan.

"How I handle things doesn’t require your input," Chen Yinghan replied bluntly.

Lu Xiaoman’s stunning face darkened. "Yinghan, are you really not going to consider our relationship anymore?"

"Our ties are over. Participating in this program is the last thing I’m doing for you," Chen Yinghan’s voice turned colder.

"Yinghan, why..."

"Xiaoman, do you really think I didn’t know what you did? I’m a straightforward person, and I hope my friends treat me with the same sincerity." After saying that, Chen Yinghan turned and left.

Lu Xiaoman watched as Chen Yinghan walked away, her gaze filled with resentment and fury. "Lv Fangxin..."

After an hour of rest, everyone returned to the performance hall.

Long Zitao stepped down from his mentor’s seat onto the stage.

"As everyone knows, we only have 11 debut slots, which means Class A can only have 11 members. But now there are three extra. What should we do?"

Showdown! Showdown!

The girls, who had been feeling a bit tired, were suddenly reinvigorated with enthusiasm.

"Exactly, it’ll be a showdown. You need to prove you deserve that spot," Long Zitao shouted, his own passion ignited.

Among those rated Class A, some felt uneasy, some were excited, while others remained calm.

Yuwei noticed the petite yet explosively energetic Lin Jiayi clenching her fists, eager to go, clearly unable to hold back.

"Who would’ve thought this little girl could be so competitive," Yuwei thought, amused.

"The rules are simple: the later members of Class A will challenge the earlier ones. Opponents will be determined by drawing lots," Long Zitao continued.

As he spoke, he held up a few cards.

"These cards have the names of the original 11 members of Class A. The newer additions will draw to select their opponents." As he finished speaking, Long Zitao called out the names of Meng Meixuan and Wu Zixuan.

The two women, dressed in red and exuding a confident and refined aura, stepped forward.

"Meixuan, are you confident about this showdown?"

"Yes. Back when I was a trainee, we faced showdowns like this every month," Meng Meixuan said with a smile, her demeanor mature with a trace of wildness.

"Training in the semi-island nations is indeed brutal. It must’ve been tough for you and Zixuan back then. Who comforted whom more often?"

Before Wu Zixuan could respond, Meng Meixuan spoke up first: "I wouldn’t really call it comfort. Becoming a trainee means being prepared to endure hardships. But usually, I’d protect Zixuan from being bullied—she’s my princess, after all."

This comment had many trainees clapping, moved by their friendship.

However, Yuwei and Lu Bingbing knew better—Meng Meixuan had skillfully set a trap for Wu Zixuan.

By portraying Wu Zixuan as her "princess," Meng Meixuan positioned herself as the "queen." Naturally, a queen must remain undefeated and occupy the highest rank.

But as the "queen’s" companion, a princess must stay behind her. Wu Zixuan’s fans, upon accepting this dynamic, would subconsciously reinforce this idea, and their votes wouldn’t be as fervent.

Wu Zixuan was furious on the inside, but her years of professional training allowed her to maintain an elegant and charming smile. "Actually, I want to protect Meixuan too."

Her words were intended to reject being labeled as the "princess," but to outsiders, they sounded like mutual affection between the two.

"Alright, I wish you both success in continuing to advance together into Class A," Long Zitao cleverly ended the segment.
