After the two days of dress rehearsal had passed, the staff anized a lottery The semifinal was structured as duels where the 40 contestants would confront each other 1v1 The loser would be eliminated and the winner would advance

Ding Meng and a male contestant both drew number 9 She rejoiced that like her, he was also in the non-professional group Although everyone had trained together for several days, she still didn’t even know his name

She had just been conte whether or not to say hello and conveniently scope out the ene right? My name is Jia Shuai”

Ding Meng looked at the person who had walked in front of her and opened her mouth in astonishment “What a coincidence”

Jia Shuai took a ht “Do you know another friend called Jia Shuai?”

Ding Meng shook her head “No, I had a classmate called Zhen Shuai”

T/N: Zhen Shuai sounds like very handsome, and Jia Shuai sounds like more handsome That may be why it’s more coincidental?

Jia Shuai, “…”

In any case, the two sized each other up and then left to return to their respective homes

Qiao Yichen had been the one cooking dinner for the past few days and Ding Meng had beco table, Qiao Yichen asked about how the co “Who did you draw in the lottery?”

“Jia Shuai!” Ding Meng set down her chopsticks and looked at him with a face full of excitement “Do you still remember back in Class 3 there was a Zhen Shuai? You even had a love scandal with him!”

Qiao Yichen, “…”

Qiao Yichen picked up so as if he didn’t care, coolly asked, “Do you still like him?”

Ding Meng felt like this question was a bit inconceivable “I’ve stopped liking hio I can’t even remember what he looks like anymore”

“Ah” Qiao Yichen casually replied, but his complexion became much less tense When they had nized hilance

After dinner was the inescapable special training Even though the official competition was to on the basics Ding Meng was also in no rush to ask hiured he was doing things this way for a reason

Only after the special training ended and Ding Meng turned around to return to her room did Qiao Yichen stop her to say, “Goodluck in tomorrow’s competition”

Ding Meng paused and then flashed him a smile, “Okay, Great one!”

T/N: In pinyin, she’s saying “Hao da, Dada!” Hao da means ok and Dada is used to refer to an expert and expresses deep admiration Great one sounds kind of weird, but Dada sounds… So lalish…

Qiao Yichen watched her close the door and, shtly, he returned to his room

He sang the title song of Gu Xin’s third albu, the instructor had advised he change his song, but it appeared he didn’t follow the instructor’s advice

Therefore, Ding Meng came to the conclusion that he must really love Gu Xin

Jia Shuai’s perforh there weren’t any bigpoints Gu Xin’s songs were originally difficult to sing, but adding the fact that the original singer had for skill, Jia Shuai’s performance just now seemed even more ordinary

Ding Meng felt so technique If he had listened to the instructor and changed his song to one he could better master, he would have performed much better

The judge’s opinions were about the same as her own Only, when the words cae inflicted increased by several fold “Many people out there hope they can becoe Having a goal is a good thing, but while your skill is still far below Gu Xin’s, rashly coe ju clown”

……How cruel Diing Meng couldn’t bear to look at Jia Shuai’s expression

However, there also wasn’t enough tie, it would be her turn
