Chapter 68: Si Fuqing: How Dare You Touch My People?
Translator: _Min
The current episode of “Youth With You” boasted 101 trainees, essentially the cream of the crop sent over from various entertainment companies.
Of course, there were also those who were there just to make up the numbers.
Xie Yu, an independent trainee, stood out remarkably, outclassing everyone else.
Besides a few independent trainees with no status, there were also some who had been sent here due to oppressive contracts with their companies.
Xu Xiyun was one of them.
Moreover, he didn’t have a massive fan base like Xie Yu, nor did anyone spend much time supporting him.
Therefore, he was the easiest target.
“It doesn’t really matter if we can’t take him out, Brother Yan” Mu Ye said dismissively. “Half of the trainees will be eliminated in the next round anyway.
Where does Xu Xiyun stand? Among the bottom twenty?”
With elimination around the corner, how many would remain in Si Fuqing’s class.
Lu Yan was cautious, “Just to be safe. The camera is coming our way; don’t speak, stand still.”
Mu Ye immediately closed his mouth and froze.
Xu Xiyun was on the fourth lane, looking around bewildered.
[Xu Xiyuan looks so clueless, kinda cute haha]
[I know some sign language, so I just saw Teacher Si telling Xu Xiyun in a kind face that it’s okay to lie down since Xie Yu has already stood up.]
[Let’s also vote for Xu Xiyun too, Xie Yu’s team members can’t lag behind.]
Xu Xiyun had never expected that his vote count would start to rise even before the competition began, and without any outstanding personal performances.
The whistle blew, and the first leg of the relay was off, the trainees sprinting like mad.
The gap wasn’t too noticeable in the first two legs, but it widened significantly during the third.
Mu Ye was right next to Xu Xiyun.
Gritting his teeth, he accelerated once more, cursing inwardly.
How could Xu Xiyun, who had always seemed so frail, run so fast?
Lu Yan, who wasn’t in great shape himself, was not as fast as Mu Ye.
He gave Mu Ye a signal.
Understanding, Mu Ye feigned a loss of balance and stumbled toward his left.
At the same time, he extended his leg.
Falling at this speed could put you out of commission for weeks, even if you didn’t hit your face.
Feng San, who had been closely watching the track, blurted out, “Brother Nine!”
Yu Xiheng was still propped up on his elbows.
However, his other hand’s fingers were curled, the hidden weapon poised to strike, its icy glare chilling.
But just as Xu Xiyun was about to trip, Mu Ye’s leg suddenly buckled
uncontrollably.
He fell hard, making a thunderous “thud.”
Xu Xiyun deftly sidestepped, avoiding him while yelling, “Don’t touch me, don’t touch me! Xie Yu, save me!”
[Is Xu Xiyun a rabbit? He’s so fast!]
[Xu Xiyun is quite…cold-blooded, isn’t he? Mu Ye fell, and he didn’t even help him up.]
[emmm, is it just me, or did Mu Ye deliberately try to bump into him?]
[Regardless, Mu Ye can’t run now; he probably won’t be able to participate in the next episode.]
Feng San breathed a sigh of relief, “It looks like Miss Si noticed as well.”
Yu Xiheng raised an eyebrow and smiled knowingly, “She’s always been quick on the uptake.”
Yu Tang, not being a martial artist, didn’t catch the finer details, but she did notice that Mu Ye had intentionally tried to collide with Xu Xiyun.
“That person is so disgusting!” Yu Tang complained, clearly infuriated. “It’s like that time I went to a hotel and someone threw acid at a celebrity. I was almost caught in the crossfire.”
Yu Xiheng looked up, his voice taking on a cold edge, “You’re not allowed to go to such places anymore.”
“I won’t, I won’t,” Yu Tang cupped her face, “I have Qingqing to watch; that’s enough for me.”
Feng San rubbed his forehead.
The fandom of “Youth With You” was massive, and the tickets for this episode were sold out long ago. Even the scalpers had sold all their tickets.
Feng San felt a bit ashamed that he, an elite from the MO family, couldn’t even grab a ticket.
Fortunately, Yu Tang, who had been in the industry for a while, had quick reflexes.
She managed to snag three tickets, so they all came.
Of course, Feng San wouldn’t admit that he was also eager to watch the show live.
As the third and fourth legs of the relay successfully passed the baton, the gap widened once again.
“Team led by Xie Yu is in the first place!” the host shouted excitedly. “Look, he’s reached the finish line! Oh my god, he’s broken the record for entertainment shows!”
“Let’s congratulate Xie Yu! Congratulations to Team 7!” The audience erupted into cheers.
The camera zoomed in, and Xie Yu’s face filled the screen.
“Brother Nine, don’t you think Xie Yu—” Feng San paused, “Looks a bit like Miss Si in the eyes and brows?”
Yu Xiheng, propped up on his elbow, looked up slightly but didn’t speak.
Before he could, Yu Tang scoffed, “What resemblance? It’s just that all beautiful people have similarities.”
“If you really want to talk about similarities, I think that one from the Ji family looks more like Qingqing. But let’s be clear, he’s just a knock-off and can’t compare to my Qingqing.”
Feng San was taken aback, “True.”
After thinking for a moment, he asked, “Which one from the Ji family?”
“Oh, the one who has been childhood friends with my third brother,” Yu Tang pushed him away, “You’re so annoying. I’m trying to take pictures of Qingqing; don’t disturb me.”
Yu Xiheng finally spoke, “Quiet.” Feng San:
He should have kept his mouth shut.
On the track.
Medical staff quickly rushed over to Mu Ye after his fall, lifting him off the track.
His face was pale from the pain, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
Mu Ye had landed headfirst; the fall was so severe that it seemed even his brain hurt, making it difficult for him to catch his breath.
Mu Ye did have fans.
But ever since he dropped to the F class, the camera coverage had decreased, and many fans had lost interest. Not many people were paying attention to him anymore.
The fans were still engrossed in the ongoing competition.
With Mu Ye serving as a cautionary tale, Lu Yan didn’t dare to make any further moves.
He pursed his lips and glanced at Si Fuqing, who was holding a bottle of coke, his eyes filled with suspicion.
Soon, the competition ended, and Team 7 came in first, surprising many.
“Great, Team 7 is in first place, so they get to pick the song first,” the host announced. “Xie Yu, as the team leader, can you tell us which song your team has chosen?”
At this, the trainees in the other teams visibly tensed up.
Each song would be assigned to two teams, and the next episode would feature one-on-one battles between them.
No one wanted to go up against Xie Yu.
Following Si Fuqing’s decision, Xie Yu didn’t hesitate and directly said, “In
Paradise.”
[Wow, who would have thought Xie Yu would pick this song? It’s so hard to sing!]
[I don’t understand Si Fuqing’s team. While Xie Yu is a versatile center, the others are more dance-oriented. Why would they pick ‘In Paradise’? They’re asking for trouble.]
[Mind your own business!]
The host continued, “Your team is in first place; which team would you like to compete against?”
Xie Yu looked towards Si Fuqing.
The host paused and quickly turned away.
The camera lens zoomed in.
Si Fuqing casually flicked up her coke bottle, her gaze lingering for a few seconds on Lu Yan, Mu Ye, and other trainees from Tianle Media. Their expressions visibly changed.
She nonchalantly smiled, “Let’s draw lots.”
Xie Yu nodded and casually put his hands in his pockets, appearing as carefree as ever.
The tension among the other trainees escalated.
[Is it just me, or is Si Fuqing really into her cola? How much does she love it?]
[So envious that she can drink that much and not gain weight.]
[I have to admit, her gothic makeup is really good.]
[Am I sinful for finding Si Fuqing cute after looking at her for a while? I usually care about looks.]
[Do you think Si Fuqing has any real scandals? Unlike someone with the last name Lin, who had a bunch of scandals right from debut. Just you wait; we’ll dig them all up!]
Lu Yan was the second team.
As expected, he picked the song “Mountain Ghost Ballard.”
“Speaking of which, I really admire the original singer of ‘Mountain Ghost Ballard,”‘ Xu Xiyun clenched his right fist, striking it into his left palm in excitement. “She’s actually a voice actor. She sang the song using both male
and temale voice tones.”
Xie Yu nodded, “Most of the members of the original group have retired, and the voice acting industry has gone through several generations since then.”
“Everyone in that group was amazing, each with multiple vocal ranges. But the original singer of ‘Mountain Ghost Ballard’ was the most remarkable,” Xu Xiyun lowered his voice, speaking with conviction. “She could change her voice without a voice changer, whether male or female, old or young. Teacher SI, do you think she is actually a spy of some sort!”
Si Fuqing:
She was silent for a moment, then couldn’t help but praise, “Sometimes I think you’re quite clever, Xu Xiyun. But maybe watch fewer anime.”
Xu Xiyun, completely unaware why he was being praised, was puzzled.
After all the teams had picked their songs, the list of matchups was released.
Unfortunately, due to Mu Ye’s mistake, his team was pitted against Xie Yu’s team.
The trainees in the entire group were in a state of panic.
“Alright, now it’s time for audience interaction,” the host spoke again. “Any requests for our trainees?”
“Please scan the QR code on the screen to send your requests to the backstage. We will pick one lucky audience member.” Immediately, the fans became excited.
[I want to see Xie Yu’s abs, thanks.]
[The one above, you’re weak. Let Xie Yu do a striptease!] [Just one? Can the production team be less generous?]
[Forget about taking off clothes; let Si Fuqing take off her makeup!]
[Yes, let Teacher Si remove her makeup! We promise to be civilized and won’t insult you..]
