Chapter 106 Without a goddess, even eating doesn't taste good!
The lights on set were finally all turned off, and the recording was over.
The backstage rest area was even more lively than the stage.
Jiang Bai originally wanted to leave, but he was surrounded by a group of students who all wanted to invite him to have a late-night snack.
Jiang Bai was craving a late-night snack, but he was even more afraid that after eating it and returning to the hotel, his health would drop to zero.
After all, boys also need to be careful when walking at night.
Just as he was about to make an excuse to pee,
A burst of hearty laughter rang out:
"Hahaha! Everyone's gathered here?"
Nayoung strode over, followed by several assistants. She had clearly just removed her makeup and changed into casual clothes, looking exceptionally relaxed.
"Sister Na!"
"Hello, teacher!"
The trainees quickly made way for them and stood up straight.
Na-young was in high spirits, and with a wave of her hand, she exuded a heroic air:
"Alright, everyone, relax!"
"Our group had a very fruitful day today, recruiting several top talents!"
"To celebrate the official establishment of our small class, it's my treat!"
"Let's go to Hai Ding Lao! I've already booked the private room!"
"Let's eat and chat, and I'll also tell you about the upcoming competition format!"
Hearing the words "Hai Ding Lao" and the fact that the diva was treating everyone to a meal...
The students' eyes lit up instantly, and cheers were on their lips.
But next second.
All eyes turned unanimously to Jiang Bai.
Their eyes were filled with anticipation: "Is our goddess going? We'll be even more excited if she goes!"
Na-young also looked at Jiang Bai, her eyes filled with eagerness:
"Little Baizhi, wanna come on? I specially asked someone to save that big teddy bear for you, to keep you company!"
Jiang Bai's heart skipped a beat.
Want to eat hot pot?
That's absolutely unacceptable!
Not to mention that eating hot pot can easily cause makeup to come off and sweat to reveal secrets.
Imagine it's the middle of the night, a group of people are having a great time, and they might want to go to a karaoke bar to continue the party. If he accidentally lets something slip, the "Cinderella" magic might just fail!
Moreover, he really needs to catch a flight back to Shanghai tomorrow morning.
Jiang Bai quickly covered his mouth, coughed lightly twice, and showed a weak and regretful expression:
"Well, I'm really sorry."
"I...I probably can't go."
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Nayoung asked with concern.
"no."
Jiang Bai pointed to his phone:
"I bought a plane ticket to go back to school early tomorrow morning. I have to fly at seven o'clock in the morning."
"The school is very strict. I only took one day off. I need to hurry back and pack my bags, or I'll miss my chance."
"and……"
Jiang Bai rubbed his temples, his voice soft and sweet:
"I recorded all night, and I was on edge the whole time. Now that I've relaxed, I'm so sleepy!"
These words were reasonable and had a touch of coquettishness.
Na-young felt a little disappointed upon hearing this, but she couldn't force the issue.
"That's true, you're a student, your studies are important."
"Alright then, your health is the most important thing. You should go back and rest."
"Next time! Next time we record, I'll definitely make it up to you!"
"Oh, right, let's add each other on WeChat! I'll send you the MV director's contact information later, and we can schedule an audition... wait, what audition? Let's go straight to the MV shoot!"
Faced with the queen's enthusiasm, Jiang Bai took out his phone and opened his secondary WeChat account.
After adding it, Nayoung waved her hand.
"Alright! From now on, if you need anything, just tell me! I'll protect you in this industry!"
"Thank you, Sister Na! Please enjoy your meal and drinks!"
Jiang Bai gave a sweet bow, slung her guitar over her shoulder, and quickly slipped out of the backstage area amidst Na Ying's loving gaze and the reluctant farewells of the other students.
.........
Jiang Bai's figure completely disappeared behind the door.
The once bustling corridor suddenly became somewhat subdued... and somber.
Nayoung turned around and waved enthusiastically at the remaining students:
"Alright! Little Angelica is going back to sleep."
"Even though we're missing one student, we can't let that spoil the fun!"
"Let's go! We're drinking until we drop tonight! Lots of meat!"
however.
The expected enthusiastic cheers did not materialize.
There were only a few scattered responses.
"good........."
"Thank you, Sister Na..."
Na-young was taken aback and looked around.
The trainees, who had been full of energy just moments before, now looked like wilted eggplants.
The girl who used to sing rock music was a cool girl, but now she's hanging her head, fiddling with the guitar pick, looking utterly dejected.
The boy singing R&B kept turning back to look in the direction Jiang Bai had gone, his eyes filled with the sadness of "my youth is over".
Even the other trainees looked dejected, as if their "backbone" had left.
"Why........."
Someone sighed softly.
"What a pity, I was hoping to share a table with my goddess."
"Yeah, I went to the bathroom just now and didn't get to add my goddess on WeChat. Now I don't even enjoy my meal."
Nayoung, who was walking at the front, stumbled upon hearing this.
She looked back at the dejected trainees, then at herself, the queen of the music scene.
I was completely stunned.
A question mark slowly appeared above his head: ?
Are these trainees too tired and listless?
Without Xiao Baizhi, can't she serve as a mentor and provide energy to the students?
Then, Na-young also sighed.
Ok.
She seemed a little down.
It's so late. If it weren't for having dinner with Xiao Baizhi, she wouldn't have wanted to treat these students tonight!
(•́へ•́╬)~Hmph!
..........
The next morning, the sky over Kyoto was overcast, as if a heavy rain was about to break out at any moment.
Jiang Bai sat on the plane, looking at the clouds outside the window, and mentally planning his next move to harvest popularity points.
"After tonight's Voice of China airs, I'll gain a huge wave of popularity points!"
"Next week, the blind auditions for other contestants on The Voice of China will still be in progress. By then, 'Baby' should be finished. After the popularity boost from The Voice of China subsides, we'll release 'Baby' across all online platforms, and then launch a second wave of popularity."
"As for 'Love You' and 'My Future Is Not a Dream,' I'll release them gradually, trying to release them separately. This way, after the initial hype dies down, the new song will generate more buzz, ensuring a staggered acquisition of popularity and maximizing profits!"
The plane landed.
When I got back to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, it was already past 10 a.m.
Although it was Sunday, the campus didn't have the usual lazy weekend atmosphere.
On the contrary, the slogans coming from the playground were deafening, even more intense than usual.
"That's true, tomorrow, Monday, is the final military training performance."
"If you don't practice until you drop today, you'll be dead tomorrow."
Jiang Bai, carrying his bag, strolled leisurely back to dormitory 404.
Push open the door.
Empty and desolate.
The three unlucky roommates are clearly still engaged in a final, desperate struggle with their folded blankets on the playground.
"Comfortable."
Jiang Bai threw down his luggage, climbed into bed, and enjoyed a rare moment of solitude.
He had no intention of skipping the afternoon training.
After all, as someone who has received the title of "model soldier", if he falters on the last day, not only will he fail to pass the instructor's test, but his tough guy persona will also easily crumble.
