In an instant, the atmosphere became solemn.
Qu Feng shrugged, and the staff handed him a stack of envelopes.
“I haven’t seen your results yet. Of the thirty-six students, only eighteen can stay. Half of the students have to say goodbye to us.”
After he finished speaking, some students held hands and trembled with nervousness.
Most of the students looked at Qu Feng nervously and fearfully, waiting for him to announce the results.
Qu Feng exhaled: “First, let’s ask Teacher Wen to announce the seventeenth to fifteenth place.”
Wen Shanshan was half dead when she first came here, and now she was half paralyzed, looking confused.
“Teacher Wen, are you tired? Your body… needs exercise.” Sheng Ziyou squinted her eyes and smiled at her.
She had just climbed up and rested for a while and the mountain breeze made her feel refreshed.
Wen Shanshan came back to her senses and her face darkened: “I’m fine! Thank you Teacher Sheng for your concern!”
“You’re welcome.”
Wen Shanshan: “…”
Many students couldn’t help laughing, and the atmosphere which had been turning tense became much better.
But when Wen Shanshan took the three envelopes from Qu Feng, the atmosphere became solemn again.
She opened it slowly, and the students stared closely at the envelopes in her hand.
Wen Shanshan’s voice was calm. Her body was in an overloaded state, her temples were throbbing with pain, and she didn’t have time to keep it a secret.
“Seventeenth place, Min Xuling! Sixteenth place, Cui Baixin! Fifteenth place, Fan Jiaxu!”
“Ah!” A student whose name was called cheered and hugged the people around him excitedly.
The three of them bowed and expressed their gratitude, came up excitedly to receive their scores, and then walked to the other side and stood.
Sheng Ziyou was not surprised at all that these three were able to advance. Min Xuling had played a supporting actor in a web drama before, so he had some popularity and was a familiar face to the audience.
Cui Boxin was a contestant who was eliminated from another singing program and he had talent in his own right.
Fan Jiaxu was also a relatively quiet contestant, but his appearance was popular with the audience, so he also advanced this time.
All three of them were on the edge of promotion, so it was indeed a blessing for them to be able to advance this time.
“Teacher Xiang will now announce the results of the 14th to 12th place!”
Xiang Yuan took the envelope and opened it. Such scenes were always a bit sad. He announced three names one by one.
Fourteenth place: Bei Yifan;
No. 13, Sun Yimin;
Twelfth place, Wu Ming.
Sheng Ziyou had a good impression of Bei Yifan. He was in the group of Gu Yuzheng’s “Rising Tide”, which set a record for votes at the time.
It didn’t matter whether he could make it into the top 18 or not, what mattered was that everyone in their group could make it.
Wu Ming was also in their group, and his original ranking was average.
It seemed that the performance “Rising Tide” had greatly improved the rankings of all of them.
Sun Yimin was a very playful and active student and had always ranked well. He was very close to Guan Yike, so sometimes Guan Yike’s fans would vote for him.
The three of them hugged the people around them excitedly and then walked aside.
There were six people who had advanced, who now huddled together and cheered.
Boys were always particularly wild when they were excited. Although some of them had red eyes, they still cried and laughed, cheered, got excited and hugged each other.
This was in stark contrast to the other side of the students whose names had not yet been called.
Some of them were nervous, some were worried, some were calm, but most of them were disheartened.
Lin Yidong’s heart was almost like it was being fried in a frying pan. Ji Ran and Gu Yuzheng beside him were trying to comfort him, but his eyes were getting redder and redder.
Really… can’t get in?
“Yidong, there is still a chance. Don’t worry, you can get in.” Ji Ran encouraged him.
Gu Yuzheng also nodded and said softly, “You will get in. You have performed very well during this period.”
Lin Yidong blinked and tried to control his tears.
Fu Jiahuan was standing with Jing Xianglei. He turned his head to look at Jing Xianglei and smiled: “Xianglei, it looks like we are going to take the cable car together.”
Jing Xianglei also looked at him with a smile: “Brother Huan, you will stay. I see your ranking has moved up.”
As for himself, his ranking was just on the edge of the line at first, and when he was later attacked, almost no audience voted for him.
The other brothers were trying their best to run forward, but he…
Even if he cleared the name later, it must have been too late.
Jing Xianglei knew all about it and had planned this a long time ago and was mentally prepared for it.
But…it was still quite uncomfortable.
Fu Jiahuan also laughed at himself. The rankings on the Internet were always changing. He had looked at it before and found that he was ranked 13th. Many people were trying hard to catch up with him.
Thirteen… This time the list had reached twelve, and he was still not on it…
If he was still not there by the tenth place, then the possibility of him advancing was probably slim.
He and Jing Xianglei looked at each other and smiled. As they smiled, their eyes became red again.
“Teacher Sheng will now announce the list of students ranked eleventh to ninth!”
Sheng Ziyou reached out and took a few envelopes from Qu Feng and took a deep breath.
She was also very nervous. In fact, it would have been possible for the instructors to know the results in advance, but Sheng Ziyou did not ask.
So what if she asked? She couldn’t interfere with the results.
Even if Lin Yidong didn’t advance, she wouldn’t be able to put pressure on the group like other shady people.
Fairness was the most basic requirement of competition.
Sheng Ziyou had always felt that Lin Yidong would definitely advance. She was helping, and even Ji Ran and Gu Yuzheng were helping. He performed so well last time, so why wouldn’t he advance?
Did fans only vote for the students they first identified?
Sheng Ziyou opened the letter from No. 11 and calmly read out:
“Hu Changming.”
Hu Changming, the student who teacher Wen Shanshan had always supported, had dropped from eighth before the performance to eleventh now.
Sheng Ziyou knew that it had something to do with her.
Because she blackened him and Wen Shanshan during the performance, his ranking dropped, and the other young men were trying hard to catch up, so he got the current result.
Hu Changming was also stunned for a moment, with a momentary unhappy expression on his face.
He stepped forward to take the report card, bowed perfunctorily, and walked aside.
Sheng Ziyou sneered in her heart.
Hu Changming was indeed unhappy because he didn’t like Sheng Ziyou.
Because Sheng Ziyou’s support for Lin Yidong directly harmed his interests! He didn’t like Lin Yidong, so he didn’t like Sheng Ziyou either.
His ranking dropped, but those students that Sheng Ziyou liked had not yet advanced.
Thinking of this, Hu Changming looked at Lin Yidong sarcastically again.
Lin Yidong couldn’t care about him now. He just held Ji Ran’s arm with his hand and said in a choked voice: “Brother Zheng, Ran Ran, I will always remember you.”
He was leaving, he was really leaving.
Ji Ran was also nervous, nervous about Lin Yidong.
“No, no, you can advance…”
Lin Yidong cried, “It’s impossible. It’s already the eleventh!”
“You might be in the top ten.” Gu Yuzheng comforted him.
Lin Yidong didn’t say anything and bit his lower lip, feeling desperate yet hopeful, his eyes fixed on Sheng Ziyou.
“Tenth place – Tang Yanhao.”
“Ah–wu–” As soon as Sheng Ziyou finished speaking, Tang Yanhao hugged Long Mu beside him and burst into tears.
He advanced, he advanced!
Sheng Ziyou shook her head helplessly: “Come and get your results.”
This student had always loved to show off, taking advantage of the camera, highlighting himself, and interrupting, so much so that he had a lot of black fans.
But because more people noticed him, the ranking was still okay.
Sheng Ziyou could see that he really wanted to make his debut.
Unfortunately, he was young and could not establish his own personality. Without any backstage support, he could only attract everyone’s attention in a clumsy and annoying way.
Tang Yanhao was actually capable.
Among this group of young men, most of them were capable.
“Thank you! Thank you!” Tang Yanhao bowed and took the transcript with trembling hands.
Sheng Ziyou opened the last one in her hand, number nine.
She didn’t look up, but she could feel the remaining twenty-eight students looking at her with longing eyes.
This was especially true for students who were not ranked high. This was their hope. The higher the ranking went, the more desperate they became.
In here, there was also the little puppy she promised.
His eyes had turned red just now. She was afraid he must be crying out of anxiety now?
If Lin Yidong really failed to advance, she would be sorry for him.
Sheng Ziyou thought, if this was true, she would definitely plan a future for him, just as if she was fulfilling her promise.
While thinking randomly, she opened the envelope with her slender fingers.
When she saw those three words, something flashed in Sheng Ziyou’s eyes, but when the camera was turned, she just smiled——
“Ninth place – Lin Yidong!”
All the students, instructors and cameramen, like Sheng Ziyou, focused their attention on Lin Yidong’s face.
At that moment, Lin Yidong was confused.
“Ahhhhh! Yidong!!!” Ji Ran was very excited. He jumped up and hugged Lin Yidong.
He seemed more excited than Lin Yidong. Ji Ran was always gentle and polite, so it was rare for him to be so excited.
Gu Yuzheng breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and patted Lin Yidong: “Advanced! Well done!”
Lin Yidong was still confused: “I advanced?”
“Come here quickly to get your results!” Sheng Ziyou shook the envelope in her hand.
Lin Yidong looked at Sheng Ziyou, and suddenly cried out, ran forward crying, and wiped away the tears that he could not control.
He ran to Sheng Ziyou and bowed to express his gratitude: “Thank you!”
Sheng Ziyou couldn’t help but smile at the excited look.
Lin Yidong’s hands were shaking a little. He raised his hand tremblingly and almost couldn’t hold the envelope.
After taking the envelope, he bowed deeply to the camera and then ran towards the next round.
Some students who were on good terms with him caught him and hugged him tightly, with excited faces.
Jing Xianglei rubbed his eyes and looked at Fu Jiahuan next to him: “Brother Huan…”
After a moment, Fu Jiahuan turned his head and smiled: “It’s okay.”
“Let Teacher Ran announce the eighth and seventh place winners.”
Qu Feng said this and handed two envelopes to Ran Youqing.
Ran Youqing smiled and shook the envelopes in his hand: “I’m getting nervous.”
The students did not make a fuss. Their nervous state made it difficult for them to make a fuss like they usually did.
The students who advanced were worried about their brothers, while the students who did not advance still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Sheng Ziyou looked at the group of students who were looking at Ran Youqing with eager eyes. To the instructor, it was just a result, some would leave and some would stay.
For fans, it was about whether their favorite idols could stay.
But for these students, it was a turning point in their lives.
Many students here didn’t like to show themselves very much. Some students were still afraid of the camera and hid away from it.
Some students only showed the audience 30% of their 100% charm.
Many years ago, Sheng Ziyou was also one of them, trying hard to show herself and eager for others to discover her charm.
But fortunately, she was smart and lucky.
After many years, looking at this group of young people, Sheng Ziyou felt a little melancholy.
Ran Youqing’s deep voice rang in her ears: “Eighth place – Long Mu!”
