Upon hearing Fu Yunyi's words, Xia Zhiyi coughed lightly, glanced at him, sat down in her seat, and greeted the other instructors beside her.
Fu Yunyi wanted to ask something more, but just then the performance on stage began, so he swallowed his words and refocused his attention on the stage.
Xia Zhiyi a slight sigh of relief.
He was genuinely afraid that Fu Yunyi might say something else, or ask him what was wrong with his mouth.
He had just been kissed by Fu Chi in the locker room for a while, and things almost escalated to the point of going too far.
Before coming out, Xia Zhiyi noticed that her mouth... cough, so she urgently asked Ming Taotao to help her find some ice water, but it didn't have much effect.
But it's still better than coming out looking rosy-cheeked.
but...
Xia Zhiyi reached out and gently touched the area near her collarbone. Noticing the camera was turned on her, she naturally adjusted her posture and smiled and waved to the camera.
There was still a hint of nervousness.
This is also rare.
Although she knew that even with close-ups, the fresh marks on his collarbone wouldn't be visible through his clothes, Xia Zhiyi a rare bit guilty in this situation.
He turned his gaze to the stage, but inwardly he wondered, "I wonder what's wrong with Ah Chi today?"
In the past, Fu Chi had always been very discreet; no matter how close the two were in private, they would never deliberately flaunt it in public.
Like today, knowing he was working and about to sit in front of the camera, Fu Chi would never have kissed him back normally. He even bit him on the collarbone before he came out, leaving a mark.
Xia Zhiyi was genuinely surprised when she felt the pain.
But it's not fair to get angry over this.
Xia Zhiyi felt that Fu Chi's behavior was very strange today, but when Fu Chi tried to hide his emotions, Xia Zhiyi couldn't tell the problem in a short time.
Moreover, the two had already wasted some time in the dressing room, so Xia Zhiyi couldn't linger any longer and had to tidy up her clothes and hurriedly return to the stage.
Xia Zhiyi to herself, "I'll ask them carefully after today's event."
The performers on stage were serious, and the audience watched attentively as well.
The cameraman remembered the assistant director's instructions and, upon hearing the director's words, gave Xia Zhiyi a close-up shot. This was nothing unusual; Xia Zhiyi had indeed attracted a lot of attention today, and even if the director didn't specifically cut to her, there was a dedicated live-stream camera filming the mentors' side as well.
But after too many close-up shots, some people noticed something fishy.
"Am I just imagining things? Teacher Xia looks... inexplicably glamorous today."
"Huh, I thought I was the only one who felt this way, it's like maternal love has gone awry."
"I looked left and right, and it was still the same person, the same face, and the clothes were all very proper, but it just felt..."
"Today, Teacher Xia made me feel like I wanted to become a female fan on the spot."
"I've been looking at it for a long time, and I've finally figured it out! Teacher Xia's lip makeup today is so alluring!"
"Did Teacher Xia put on lipstick?"
"Right?"
Is it a new makeup look?
"Indeed, I tried it. Even with my lips covered, Teacher Xia still looks adorable."
" Teacher Xia's lips look so kissable, mua!"
" Teacher Xia's lip makeup today looks like she's been kissed really hard!"
"So tempting, slurp! Red lips and white teeth, slurp!"
Xia Zhiyi what some viewers who weren't really watching the show were saying in the comments. He also didn't know that because of his performance tonight, his "lip makeup" had also gained some attention and trended on social media.
When Xia Zhiyi found out later, she was both amused and exasperated.
But that's a story for later.
At the scene, after a brief moment of distraction, Xia Zhiyi quickly focused her attention on the stage in front of her. Watching the contestants on stage, who were smiling and sweating profusely, a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
Regardless of who ultimately succeeds in debuting after today, they will all have no regrets, at least they tried their best.
Finally, under the dazzling lights and amidst the attention of millions, the six who had initially come up from 120 people emerged victorious in a fierce competition.
Yang Linlin and Xu Qianmo, who got along well with Xia Zhiyi, were both among the debut spots. Although they weren't the center, they occupied the second and third positions respectively. Standing on the stage, they were so excited that their eyes welled up with tears.
Later, when the mentors went on stage to share their thoughts, Xia Zhiyi was hugged one by one by a group of contestants as soon as she stepped onto the stage. Seeing so many excited young men with reddened eyes, Xia Zhiyi felt happy for them too.
This was their home turf, so Xia Zhiyi didn't do much at this time. Her remarks were not much different from those of the other mentors, and she gave more time to the contestants.
However, to Xia Zhiyi's slight surprise, in the newly formed Lu Feng boy band, every member's acceptance speech praised him to varying degrees.
Xia Zhiyi was surprised. "I thought that because I'm so strict with your training, you guys would dislike me."
The live stream had already ended when he said this. The members of the newly formed limited-time group also needed to go home tonight to take care of some things. They just needed to go to Tianhuan Entertainment Company to sign the contract in a few days as agreed.
Xia Zhiyi hadn't planned to stay any longer, since Fu Chi was still waiting for him, but as soon as the live stream ended, he was surrounded by Lu Feng members and the eliminated contestants who had come specifically to cheer them on.
Hearing Xia Zhiyi's words, Yang Linlin was very puzzled. "How could that be? If it weren't for Teacher Xia, our training might not have gone so smoothly. Besides, although you are strict with us, Teacher Xia, we later discovered that the training schedule you set for us was always pushing us to our limits."
"If it weren't for Teacher Xia, I would never have imagined that I could be so capable."
Xu Qianmo added, "That's right. Besides, Teacher Fu said that the training goals you set for us, Teacher Xia, were all based on each of our individual circumstances. Even the food in the cafeteria was arranged by you, Teacher Xia; it's nutritious and delicious."
"Don't we know who's good to us?"
The others nodded in agreement.
Putting everything else aside, let's talk about Xia Zhiyi arranging training for them. Originally, this wasn't Xia Zhiyi's job. He was willing to create a corresponding training list for each athlete, which was out of kindness.
Moreover, after such a long live broadcast, a group of young men living in the base spent their days either training or fooling around, and there were a few minor accidents along the way.
If it weren't for Xia Zhiyi, like when Song Qi had his accident, he probably would have withdrawn from the competition directly. How could he have persisted until the third episode? In the end, he was eliminated because of his strength, rather than leaving the stage early due to injury.
Teacher Xia is so skilled at treating sprains and bruises that it's almost awe-inspiring; whenever he takes action, the results are immediate.
Teacher Xia, their god.
