As Zhao Xiaotao had guessed, all thirteen singers had finished their performances. After the voting, Cheng Xi ranked fourth. The first place was naturally Zhang Qin. The veteran performed an extremely difficult opera adaptation, and Cheng Xi was fascinated by it.
They were all stupid.
However, they did not expect Meng Bai's ranking - despite a mistake, he actually finished seventh.
Although the abilities of the last six singers were somewhat unsatisfactory, and one of them forgot his lyrics because he was too nervous, at least the others performed normally.
At this point, Zhao Xiaotao and Cheng Xi can be sure that Meng Bai is 90% determined to be second.
However, the behavior of the program crew was not criticized by netizens. Meng Bai lowered the key so naturally that non-professionals could not hear it and thought he had just adapted it, so there was not much resistance.
The last person to be eliminated was naturally the singer who forgot his lyrics. After saying goodbye to him, the first issue of "Assembly" ended and the online voting channel was officially opened.
According to the voting rules, each account can cast two votes per day, and they must vote for different singers. This effectively avoids the problem of unevenness at the bottom of the online voting list, and at the same time maintains fairness in the competition to a certain extent.
Just when everyone thought Cheng Xi's fans were going to show off their talents, Cheng Xi's support club issued an announcement.
Cheng Xi Global Fan Support Club: This season of "Singer Assembly", Cheng Xi's official, unofficial fan clubs and individual stations will not organize any investment work during the entire process. "Assembly" is a professional song program, compared to promotions
, we hope that Cheng Xi can learn more and gain more from his predecessors. We look forward to the performance of singer Cheng Xi, and we will make progress together with him.
Netizens were dumbfounded. They did not expect that the so-called "brainless fans" who usually yell at others and criticize others could have such a broad vision.
After this incident, they had a new understanding of traffic and traffic fans. Of course, some people said that this was a hype planned by Cheng Xi's company in conjunction with the fan club. They wanted to exploit the modest and serious character of the younger generation and increase the favorability of passers-by. They should invest in it.
Still betting. It was so serious that netizens who were easily led to believe it.
It wasn't until a day later that the rumors were disproven.
Cheng Xi's votes are growing steadily, and there is no momentum to immediately widen the gap with those behind him when fans start voting on a large scale.
However, the basics are there. Even if the support club is not organized, fans' random votes are enough for him to reach the top of the list.
What's more, this ballad has sung into the hearts of many people. Love is inherently fragile. Sometimes, if you don't pay attention, you can only watch the person you love the most scattered in the sea of people.
Countless netizens, including fans of his opponents, silently gave him their extra votes.
As the most popular song in the first episode, Cheng Xi's live performance has become a must-sing song for live broadcasts and KTVs for a long time. It is difficult to say the word "nationality", but in actual practice, it is just a song
It’s just time to sing.
Although behind this song are three and a half years of diligent study, a month of hard training, and days and nights of emotional breakdown again and again in no-one's corner.
After the first episode, in addition to adjusting the performance numbers for the second episode with the live band of the program team, what Cheng Xi looked forward to most was that Tao Shiyan came to see him.
However, Tao Shiyan's "Ji Er" really lasted for a long time. The first four rounds of competitions were all over, and Tao Shiyan finally finished handling matters in the studio. At this time, it had been a long time since the last time the two met.
It's been more than half a month.
Good things come to pass. There was a rehearsal on the day Tao Shiyan was coming, so Cheng Xi asked the hotel housekeeper to prepare an extra key card. When Tao Shiyan arrived, he could get it from the hotel housekeeper.
After the audition and rehearsal were over, Cheng Xi rushed back to the hotel impatiently and opened the door——
The room was pitch dark, there was no light, and it didn't look like anyone was there.
... Could it be that Tao Shiyan's flight was delayed, or something suddenly delayed him and he didn't come?
After a futile attempt, the corners of Cheng Xi's eyes immediately dropped. As he walked in, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Tao Shiyan to ask.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the bedroom, someone suddenly rushed towards him from behind. He couldn't stand and immediately threw the person on the bed with him!
He left in a hurry in the morning and didn't have time to make the bed. Cheng Xi sank into the feather-like quilt. The security of this hotel was very good, and it was impossible for thieves to come in, so he could use his knees to figure out who the person behind him was.
Cheng Xi said angrily: "Why don't you turn on the light? I thought you didn't come."
"I want to see your surprised expression."
"Where is the surprise," Cheng Xi sneered, "only the shock is left."
Tao Shiyan said innocently: "I think you were quite surprised. You couldn't wait to drag me onto the bed."
After speaking, without waiting for Cheng Xi to retort, Tao Shiyan gently pecked the boy on the back of his neck.
In the darkness, his senses were infinitely magnified. Cheng Xi could clearly feel the hot air spraying on his skin and the coolness of the man's lips. His back was numb and his body immediately stiffened.
But Tao Shiyan didn't feel it and continued to kiss gently. Thanks to years of dancing practice, the boy's neck was long and slender, and Tao Shiyan liked it very much.
As a result, Cheng Xi became more and more stiff, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he elbowed Tao Shiyan and threw him away while he was in pain.
Tao Shiyan reacted very quickly. He fished Cheng Xi back into his arms with his long arm. Seeing that the other party wanted to run away, he used his special trick - tickling.
"Ha ha ha ha......."
Cheng Xi's waist was particularly ticklish, and he burst into tears when he scratched her. He twisted around to avoid the attack.
The two bodies were pressed tightly against each other, just at the age of full strength. They rubbed against each other and involuntarily started to get angry.
Dinner hasn't been eaten yet, and now is not the time to do anything. Tao Shiyan stopped quickly, and Cheng Xi took the opportunity to move away. Neither of them turned on the light in a tacit agreement.
Or the situation might be awkward.
Ten minutes later, when he had almost calmed down, Cheng Xi asked: "Order takeout or go out to eat?"
"Let's go out and go to the supermarket to buy something after eating," Tao Shiyan's voice was hoarse, "I want to stay longer this time."
Cheng Xi's eyes lit up like light bulbs with a "beep" sound: "How long will it take?"
"Ten days, if there's no urging over there, half a month is possible."
Ten days! Half a month!! Cheng Xi had never been alone with Tao Shiyan for so long, and a burst of cheers burst out from his heart!
However, he behaved very calmly. He calmly turned on the lights and got dressed, calmly went to Dianping to search for quiet and delicious restaurants, calmly drove Tao Shiyan out of the basement, and calmly commented: "Half a month.
That’s too boring.”
Tao Shiyan said "Oh" and took out his mobile phone.
Cheng Xi: "What do you want to do? I have already booked the restaurant."
Tao Shiyan: "Buy a ticket to go back the day after tomorrow."
Cheng Xi: "..."
Cheng Xi added: "But I'm not afraid of the taste, I can tolerate it."
"Okay then." Tao Shiyan then put the phone back into his pocket.
Cheng Xi rented the car after arriving in Lianshun and had no name from the paparazzi. The two of them arrived at the restaurant smoothly and had a super delicious local meal.
After eating and drinking, Cheng Xi took Uncle Tao to the supermarket again. He chose a supermarket that specialized in imported goods. The prices were relatively high, so there were not many customers. The two of them wore woolen scarves each, covering half of their faces.
Except for those who thought they had an outstanding temperament and couldn't help but take a second look, they were not recognized.
Tao Shiyan pushed the shopping cart, and Cheng Xi walked side by side with him. Thinking of the bachelor party some time ago, he couldn't help but bumped his shoulder: "Your married friend, don't you mind if your partner is a man?"
"They were a little surprised at first, but they didn't mind."
......them?
Cheng Xi asked: "Who are they referring to? Don't tell me that all four brothers know it."
"Of course I know," Tao Shiyan raised his eyebrows, "And it's not just the four of them. The day after we confirmed our relationship, I sent a group WeChat message to inform everyone."
Group message... Cheng Xi almost poked his head in the past. He couldn't move around at all. His feet were nailed to the spot: "How many WeChat friends do you have?"
"Don't worry, I didn't post it to everyone. I only have about sixty or seventy friends with whom I have good connections plus studio employees."
Six! Seven! Ten!
It’s amazing, it’s really amazing, why don’t you publish a big list to tell the world?
Cheng Xi's eyes darkened, and he felt that it would be less troublesome to rush over just now. He was too lazy to pay attention to Tao Shiyan anymore, and continued to walk forward with a stern face, taking things from the shelves as if to vent his anger.
Potato chips, yogurt, ice cream, soda... all thrown into the shopping cart without even looking at them.
Walking to the daily necessities area, he was carried away and picked up a pink square box: "What is this? It's very beautiful."
Tao Shiyan glanced at it and uttered three words: "Safety."
Cheng Xi's hand felt as if it had been burned. He shook it so hard that he almost shook the box off. At this time, Tao Shiyan said again: "You are an adult now. Don't tell me that you are shy when you see this thing."
"...How is it possible? I haven't seen anything before?" Cheng Xi snorted and threw the box into a pile of snacks, "I came to this shelf just to buy it!"
After speaking, in order to prove his maturity, Cheng Xi took a box of each color three times, five times and two times, and waved it in front of the dog man who was laughing at him.
Tao Shiyan tightened his lips and had a hard time holding back his smile. After searching on the shelf for a while, he unexpectedly found a glass bottle: "The box you took should be used with this one."
......Clam?
When he was a teenager, when he was most curious about sex, a group of boys in the dormitory often formed groups to watch movies. Cheng Xi passed by and took a few glances, but only saw condoms. Some of them didn't even use condoms, and no other equipment was found.
So...what did Tao Shiyan get?
Cheng Xi was particularly curious, but Tao Shiyan didn't give him a chance to observe and put it directly into the shopping cart.
Afraid that he would be laughed at even more mercilessly if he asked, Cheng Xi could only hold it in and held it in all the way back to the hotel.
Because he was carrying a large bag of things, Cheng Xi didn't notice his feet when he got off the elevator and accidentally tripped over the edge of the carpet.
Tao Shiyan quickly stretched out his hand to support him and took away the shopping bag. Cheng Xi stabilized his body and said hurriedly: "I can just carry it. You can keep my bag, whether it is light or heavy."
"It's okay, there are only a few steps left."
Cheng Xi was about to say more when he suddenly felt a strange noise behind him. A trace of uneasiness surged in his heart, and he turned around subconsciously——
The corridor was empty except for them.
"What's wrong?" Tao Shiyan looked back with him.
"...It's nothing, maybe I heard wrong," Cheng Xi frowned, "Let's go."
After entering the house, Cheng Xi was still haunted by a sense of uneasiness, and he didn't feel better until he took a shower.
Seeing him come out, Tao Shiyan then went to the bathroom, leaving Cheng Xi alone on the sofa, his little eyes constantly glancing in the direction of the shopping bag.
He pretended to know a lot just now, but if the other party asked him about the glass bottle later and he couldn't tell him, where would he lose his face?
It happens that Tao Shiyan is not here, so you can check it out now!
He did as he was told, Cheng Xi tiptoed to the bag, opened a bottle of Bozi soda and took a few sips, then sat cross-legged on the floor and found the glass bottle.
The bottle was densely covered with Japanese characters, which was beyond his scope. Fortunately, the brand name was in English. Cheng Xi opened Baidu and searched for it.
[XX brand lubricating oil, they all say it’s good after using it]
[xx, give him the silkiest love]
[Lubricating Oil Knowledge Classroom: How to expand correctly?]
["Baby, you are so hydrated today!" "It's not me, it's all because of it!"]
"..."
Cheng Xi stared at the search page and spit out a mouthful of soda!
What is this all about!!!
After all, he is a man. He has thought about taking down Tao Shiyan more than once, but because he has not put it into practice, he does not know what the specific process is.
And this webpage is so outrageous, especially the small classroom section, which uses diagrams to draw out each step, which is not much different from looking at a small picture.
Thinking of Tao Shiyan and himself like in the picture... all the blood in his body flowed back to his face. Cheng Xi couldn't drink the soda at all, so he dropped the glass bottle and ran away.
So when Tao Shiyan entered the bedroom, what he saw was the child with his whole body and head buried in the quilt. He opened the quilt and asked, "Isn't it hot?"
"It's not hot." Cheng Xi pulled the quilt back, "Don't disturb my sleep."
Okay, Tao Shiyan happened to be sleepy, so he wiped his hair a few times and turned off the light and went to bed. He naturally wrapped his arms around the boy's waist and took him into his arms.
Didn't move.
The boy seemed to have grown up there, holding back his strength and not moving at all.
Every time they slept together before, Cheng Xi would lean close to him in order to sleep well. This had never happened before.
So what exactly happened?
Tao Shiyan felt that all his patience in this life was spent on coaxing Cheng Xi. Since he didn't come, he went over by himself and said, "Little windmill, what's wrong? Tell me."
The voice was low and magnetic, making the listener feel itchy from the ears to the heart. Cheng Xi curled up and said, "Nothing, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."
"Do you remember your promise to me that if you have something to tell me in the future, we will solve it together." As he said that, Tao Shiyan put his arm around the boy's waist again.
This time Cheng Xi expected it in advance and rolled out. His original intention was to avoid the opponent, but he expected that Tao Shiyan's arm was longer than he thought, and not only touched his waist——
Also because he was moving and accidentally touched something... something that had been exciting him since he saw the glass bottle.
Tao Shiyan suddenly realized, he was angry and funny: "That's it? I thought something was wrong, why are you hiding it?"
Because of the Baidu glass bottle, and imagining that he and Tao Shiyan would use that thing to have a love affair, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Cheng Xi: "I won't tell."
"It doesn't matter. As a man, I can understand you," Tao Shiyan paused, "Unless you are not a man."
Cheng Xi: "..."
excuse me? Say it again if you have the guts???
He couldn't stand others provoking him the most, and he was already suffering. The moment he heard these words, an evil fire rushed into his mind.
He suddenly turned over and sat astride Tao Shiyan's waist——
"Say I'm not a man? Okay, today I'll show you what a real man is!!"
