In the afternoon, when Ji Ran returned to the practice room, his eyes were still a little red.
Sheng Ziyou was a little surprised and asked with concern, “Ji Ran, what’s wrong?”
Ji Ran shook his head abruptly, his eyes stinging, and his voice muffled: “I’m fine, my body is all better now. I’ll practice with you guys later.”
“Ranran, are you alright?” Fu Jiahuan was still a little worried.
“It’s alright, it’s really all over now.” Ji Ran nodded firmly.
“Alright then, you can rest a little longer, and then you can come up after we practice a couple more times.” Gu Yuzheng frowned slightly, but still agreed.
When they feel bad, they need to vent, but in front of the camera, their only way to vent is to dance until they are exhausted.
Sheng Ziyou glanced at his pale face and red eyes, and simply said, “Practice once, then rest for a while before practicing again.”
Ji Ran nodded and agreed to the arrangement.
Ji Ran practiced with all his might, jumping and leaping as he was supposed to, showing no signs of having just come from the hospital.
With all seven of them present, practicing in front of the mirror became even more enjoyable.
After the practice, everyone wore satisfied smiles.
Ji Ran laughed too: “I can do it again!”
Ever since Ji Ran was in so much pain during the last performance that he couldn’t even bend over, yet still managed to perform and do somersaults despite the discomfort, Sheng Ziyou had become more confident in his abilities…
Even if he was not feeling well, he could endure it and continue as long as he needed to.
Therefore, Sheng Ziyou and the others did not indulge him. They would only say it once, and the rest of the group members would continue practicing.
The other two practice rooms were also bustling with activity; at this crucial moment, no student was slacking off.
They didn’t have cell phones and didn’t know their ranking.
It’s important to know that the contestants in this boy group selection competition were all very strong, and the voting was relatively fair, so the rankings of the trainees kept changing.
Aside from the top-ranked trainees who were relatively secure, the trainees in the middle and lower ranks had no idea whether they would fall to twelfth place or leave the stage and the debut competition.
Feng Yuanxuan Group.
Zheng Jiaoqian led them to practice in front of the mirror. Her movements were neither too difficult nor too easy. But she had to interact with the students and dance along with them.
Jiao Xiu interacted with Zheng Jiaoqian the most, so even though Feng Yuanxuan was in the center position, he didn’t feel like he was in the center position at all.
“Teacher Zheng, you are so beautiful…” Jiao Xiu blinked and whispered as he approached.
No one would be unhappy to be praised for their beauty. So Zheng Jiaoqian smiled and became even more enthusiastic in her cooperation with Jiao Xiu.
Feng Yuanxuan didn’t care about any of that. He just practiced in front of the mirror, found his problems, and then corrected them.
Singing was fine, but dancing was still a big problem.
Although Teacher Sheng found him a powerful backer, Feng Yuanxuan still wanted to debut here. Having a base of popularity was better than starting from scratch.
How could we let Teacher Sheng’s help go to waste?
Guan Yike’s group.
Wen Shanshan was also very hardworking; she is most afraid of losing to Sheng Ziyou in her professional field.
Therefore, Wen Shanshan took this practice very seriously.
Their group was also the only one where the guests and trainees were constantly working overtime and staying up late.
“Lu He, you need to hurry up and practice!” Wen Shanshan scolded Lu He.
“Okay, okay.” Lu wiped his sweat and quickly continued.
Long Mu felt sorry for him and couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you take a break? Sharpening your axe won’t delay your work.”
“Don’t just think about resting, or we’ll end up with another car accident scene.” As soon as Wen Shanshan said this, everyone’s expression changed.
Lu He’s eyes gradually reddened.
Wen Shanshan continued, “You can’t stop on the road. You must practice until you can do all the movements with your eyes closed and never forget them!”
Lu He nodded emphatically, his eyes red.
Then, he continued practicing until his hands and feet were so tired that he felt weak and was sweating profusely.
Since his last apology, his ranking had dropped and he had become silent.
Gu Yuzheng’s group.
The atmosphere in this group was so much better. Although the practice was tiring, everyone was in great spirits.
They practiced while laughing and joking.
Moreover, they went to bed early and got up early, so their overall mental state was quite good.
“Teacher Sheng, we’re all exhausted. Could you please treat us to a meal?” Fu Jiahuan was half-lying on the ground, yet she still had time to joke.
Sheng Ziyou rolled her eyes at him: “The cafeteria has food.”
“That doesn’t taste good. We’ve worked so hard, Teacher Sheng, how can you bear to do this to us?” Fu Jia Huan wailed.
“Heartless.”
“Pfft—” Lin Yidong and the others burst out laughing.
Sheng Ziyou clapped her hands: “Alright, everyone get up. We can eat after practicing two more times.”
“Aww—” A chorus of wails filled the air.
Sheng Ziyou took her place first and said calmly, “You can eat after practicing twice. My takeout is almost here. If you haven’t finished practicing twice by the time it arrives, you’ll just have to wait for it to get cold…”
As soon as she finished speaking, the group of people who had just been lying on the ground jumped up instantly, fully revived.
“Feeling energized?”
“Full of energy! Full of energy!” they exclaimed in unison.
Sheng Ziyou laughed: “Oh right, I forgot to mention, I only ordered for myself.”
Everyone: “…”
In an instant, they collapsed all over the ground again.
As the three groups practiced frantically, Friday night arrived, and the performance was just around the corner.
In the afternoon, the trainees and guests took a bus to the backstage area of the performance venue for makeup. Once the waiting time was up, the performance would officially begin.
Sheng Ziyou brought Ivy along, and this time, Ivy personally did her makeup.
This performance was not only the semi-finals, but also a chance for Sheng Ziyou to officially shed the “flower vase” label that she had worn for so long.
She should let others see what Sheng Ziyou should be like.
