After Dou Xuan and his group left, the thirty-six young men who went up the mountain were suddenly reduced to half.
Originally, they thought that there would definitely be more than eighteen people who could stay, but all the students in Gu Yuzheng’s group who won first place in the performance advanced.
As a result, in the end, only eighteen students remained.
A large group of people were suddenly missing, half of them were gone, the students were crying and hugging each other, and the instructors were also in a bad mood.
Especially Ran Youqing, who had a stern face and didn’t say a word.
Qu Feng adjusted his mood and said with a smile: “They left by cable car. Kids, you still have to keep going!”
“Puff——” Some students cried and then started wailing.
“Okay, okay, everyone calm down and let’s go down the mountain slowly.” Qu Feng took the lead and was followed by Guan Yike, Jiao Xiu and others.
Sheng Ziyou let out a breath. She was not in a good mood. So even when Wen Shanshan rubbed her feet and went to take the cable car, she did not say anything to her.
Jing Xianglei and Fu Jiahuan walked together. They stopped slightly and waited for Sheng Ziyou to walk beside them and then walked down the mountain side by side.
When Lin Yidong saw this, he immediately pulled Ji Ran and Gu Yuzheng to follow them angrily.
“Teacher Sheng, thank you so much.” The smiling “Brother Huan” was particularly serious at this moment and expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Sheng Ziyou smiled and said, “It’s okay. Just do your best and keep up the good work.”
There are too many outstanding young people, but unfortunately there are only six places.
“Teacher Sheng, I thank you very much too.” Jing Xianglei followed suit with a sincere look in his eyes.
Sheng Ziyou smiled and shook her head.
“You are really nice!” Jing Xianglei said.
Lin Yidong pulled Ji Ran and Gu Yuzheng behind the three of them, and said, “Teacher Sheng is very good, very good, very good!”
Important things should be said three times.
Sheng Ziyou looked back at him and said with a smile: “Lin Yidong, look at your eyes, they are as red as a rabbit’s!”
Lin Yidong sniffed and pursed his lips.
Sheng Ziyou smiled with her teeth showing. She looked very beautiful when she smiled. Even when she smiled with her teeth showing, she looked bright and beautiful.
Her every move was particularly attractive.
There seemed to be stars in her tears, and there seemed to be emotion in her voice.
Several people were stunned.
Gu Yuzheng withdrew his gaze the fastest. At this moment, he was actually a little envious of Lin Yidong.
This young man had a growing environment that he and Ji Ran did not have and had a lot of love that he and Ji Ran did not have.
Even the beautiful and generous teacher Sheng treated Lin Yidong differently.
Gu Yuzheng admitted that he was really envious.
The few of them walked along the way down the mountain. The trek down the mountain was much easier than going up the mountain. So Sheng Ziyou chatted with the students.
The teenagers were very active and talkative.
The pain of separation was now somewhat diluted. Sheng Ziyou occasionally talked to them about life in the entertainment industry and listened to them talk about their own experiences.
“Gu Yuzheng, tell us about your life, don’t be so quiet.” Gu Yuzheng was so calm that many people often forgot that he was only 21 years old, and he was still at the age of going to college.
Gu Yuzheng was surprised. He seldom talked about his past with others. Therefore, no one knew about his past except Ji Ran.
Sheng Ziyou had asked the cameraman not to film them early on, and they were walking at the back, with no one else around them.
Maybe because the atmosphere was so good, he actually wanted to talk.
Gu Yuzheng had a very pleasant and attractive voice, and his fans always said that listening to his voice could make their ears pregnant.
At this moment, he said in such a nice voice, “I am an orphan.”
Lin Yidong and Ji Ran knew about it, but Jing Xianglei and Fu Jiahuan heard it for the first time. So they were a little surprised and sad.
Gu Yuzheng continued, “My family environment was pretty good when I was a child. My parents were both businesspeople and were considered quite well-off in our area. So since I liked music when I was a child, my parents let me learn music and dance. In junior high school, my parents sent me to an international junior high school in a first-tier city, where I continued to learn music and dance which I loved. In the second year of junior high school, there was an earthquake, and my hometown was gone, and my parents were gone as well.”
The last sentence was spoken in a low voice, and his footsteps followed everyone forward, with no expression on his face that could reveal anything.
The other students had already walked far ahead, and the cameramen followed them.
They fell behind, and at this moment, apart from Gu Yuzheng’s faint voice, the only sound was the rustling of leaves in the wind.
“Later, I was adopted by my uncle and aunt and was sent to the local public school, so I stopped studying music and dance.”
Sheng Ziyou glanced at him and understood why he transferred from an expensive international school back to the public school in his hometown. The twists and turns in between were clear to her after listening to her.
“My grades were average, so my uncle and aunt asked me to go out and work after I graduated from high school, but I didn’t agree, so I went out on my own to work hard.”
Fu Jiahuan was itching to ask, “You are not that old, what job did you do?”
“I started singing on the streets, then in bars, and when I became an adult, I signed out my household registration.”
Gu Yuzheng didn’t seem to feel sad at all, he just smiled and said, “Then I saw this program and signed up as a personal trainee.”
When Sheng Ziyou met Gu Yuzheng, he was a little older than he was now.
In her world, he had suffered a few more years than he did now, so his personality was much more stable.
His past was thus never mentioned in that world.
On the contrary, in this world, he was younger and may not have suffered as much as in the other world, so he was willing to talk about these past events.
But no matter which world he was in, he never used these past experiences to gain misery.
His fans never knew what their usually calm idol had been through.
Just like today, he only mentioned a few words.
Where did a minor who was singing for money live during those years? What did he eat? Where did he go?
He didn’t say a word.
Fu Jiahuan opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything.
His family was not particularly good, but he had enough food and clothing, and his father doted on him and his mother loved him.
Jing Xianglei patted Gu Yuzheng on the shoulder and sighed softly: “It’s all over.”
Gu Yuzheng smiled and said, “Well, it’s all over.”
Fu Jiahuan quickly changed the subject: “What about you, Ji Ran?”
As soon as the words fell, there was a moment of silence around them. Fu Jiahuan was so annoyed that he wanted to slap himself to death!
Ji Ran had never mentioned his family, so these things must not be happy ones!
He was so stupid!
Fu Jiahuan laughed dryly and was about to change the subject when Ji Ran spoke up: “It’s nothing. I only have one grandmother.”
He smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head: “I’m fine. My grandma treats me very well and dotes on me.”
Sheng Ziyou remembered that, wasn’t Ji Ran’s grandmother in poor health? In the original world, she didn’t know that Ji Ran had a grandmother, or how his grandmother was doing.
Did she die in the original world? Or was she taken good care of by Ji Ran?
“Ji Ran’s grandmother was in poor health, so he didn’t study even after being admitted to university and started live streaming to make money.”
Gu Yuzheng said, then paused and glanced at Sheng Ziyou: “Ji Ran’s grandma is his life.”
Sheng Ziyou paused slightly, then raised her foot and continued moving forward.
So… the joke that the original body played was a joke on Ji Ran’s life.
“Ji Ran, which university did you get into?” Lin Yidong was curious. He really didn’t know that Ji Ran had been admitted to a university.
Ji Ran smiled gently, still as gentle and elegant as ever, as if he didn’t care: “Fudan.”
“…”
“Ahhhhhhhh!! What a fu**ing pity!!!” Fu Jiahuan jumped onto Ji Ran’s back, his face full of grief and indignation.
Ji Ran said calmly, “Why should I be sad or angry? Maybe after I graduate from college, I will enter this industry. This is an industry that everyone envies. When I was a kid, I loved to dance along with the ones on TV. This is what I like.”
Sheng Ziyou didn’t know whether Ji Ran really didn’t regret it, just like she didn’t know whether Ji Ran really loved to eat.
But she knew he did not dwell on the past, his eyes were always looking forward.
Fu Jiahuan slapped Ji Ran on the buttocks, his face becoming more and more angry: “Do you know how many beatings I received because of my poor grades?! Even if you kill me, I can’t be admitted to such a good university. It turns out that Ran Ran is a top student!”
Jing Xianglei nodded: “No wonder Ji Ran learns everything so quickly!”
“When I was in school, I scored 30 points in math. One time, I scored 60 points. My dad was so happy that he bought me a lot of delicious food. My mom cooked for me, and we enjoyed it for several days. Later, during the parents’ meeting, my dad found out that by the third year of junior high school, the full score for math should be 150.” Fu Jiahuan looked depressed, “My butt was beaten to pieces.”
“Hahaha!” Lin Yidong laughed, “My grades weren’t good either. One time…”
Lin Yidong, Fu Jiahuan and others naturally changed the topic to interesting things that happened during their school days, chatting and laughing, and letting Ji Ran and Gu Yuzheng join in the laughter.
Sheng Ziyou kept smiling. They changed the subject, so it was naturally impossible for her to bring it back to the original topic.
It seemed that Ji Ran and Gu Yuzheng did not seem too sad when talking about the past, but Sheng Ziyou knew that only people who had experienced countless hardships could speak of this sadness so lightly.
Because they had been played around by this terrible fate and had not lost all hope and were not disheartened.
They still had hope, and they still wanted to struggle to survive in this tortuous life and work hard to create a wonderful and brilliant life.
In their previous life, Gu Yuzheng and Ji Ran did it. In this life…
Sheng Ziyou felt that they could definitely do it now as well.
With such a sad fate, those who had not lost their fighting spirit would one day achieve great success.
The group quickly walked down the mountain while chatting and laughing. When they were about to appear in the bus’s sight, Sheng Ziyou reached out and grabbed Ji Ran.
Gu Yuzheng stopped.
“Let me say a few words to you.” After Sheng Ziyou finished speaking, Gu Yuzheng stopped and continued to move forward.
Sheng Ziyou…do you still like Ji Ran?
Gu Yuzheng pursed his lips into a straight line and fell silent.
After they walked a few steps, Ji Ran looked at Sheng Ziyou and waited for her to speak.
It was different from when Sheng Ziyou first came to this world. There was no disgust in Ji Ran’s eyes anymore.
“Ji Ran, I’m sorry.” I’m saying this to you on behalf of the “Sheng Ziyu” who hurt you.
Sheng Ziyou looked at Ji Ran seriously.
The eyes were dark inside, with thick eyelashes curling upwards.
Her eyes were pure and sincere, and no one could question what she said now.
Ji Ran couldn’t help but look away and purse his lips: “It’s okay, I forgive you.”
Sheng Ziyou smiled. At that moment, the sunlight shone through the leaves onto her face, with the light mottling and alternating between light and dark.
Ji Ran felt that something seemed to have changed.
The two of them quickened their pace to catch up with Gu Yuzheng and the others.
A group of people appeared in front of the bus together. There was one bus missing from the bus that came in the morning. Obviously, the eliminated students had already left early.
“Teacher Sheng, you really made us wait! So many people have been waiting for you for so long!” In fact, the others didn’t arrive much earlier than Sheng Ziyou and the others, but Wen Shanshan couldn’t help but want to confront Sheng Ziyou.
