"Oh? Su Jian?"

Hey! Why did your tone change so drastically when you mentioned me?!

Awkwardly walking behind Ouyang Qingzi, Su Jian stepped onto the stage, her lips twitching a few times, speechless.

"This contestant is quite popular online right now, and she even seems to have declined mentor Lu Hanfei's invitation!"

Why are you stirring things up?!

As soon as I stepped onto the stage, I could feel Lu Hanfei's gaze, the other two mentors' skepticism, and the hostility of the fans in the audience.

Su Jian lowered her head helplessly, putting her hands behind her back and waiting for the program to continue.

A moment later, the sixty contestants who had advanced stood on the stage in unison, and the host walked over at a leisurely pace.

"Congratulations to the sixty contestants who have passed the second round and will advance to the next stage."

"Starting tonight, the sixty contestants will be divided into twelve teams of five. Each team will live in the dormitory provided by the production team and will compete in a week."

"Only six out of twelve teams can advance to the next round. Now, let's have the celebrity mentors play rock-paper-scissors. Each time they win, they can choose one contestant, but the contestants also have the right to refuse!"

For some reason, as soon as the host finished speaking, many people turned their attention to themselves.

Su Jian coughed awkwardly a few times, and noticed that Lu Hanfei had already looked away and started playing rock-paper-scissors with the other two.

"Oh! Instructor Lu won the first round!"

what?

Unexpectedly, Lu Hanfei had exceptionally good luck and won on the very first round.

Su Jian raised her head as if she had a fishbone stuck in her throat, and sure enough, she immediately noticed that all the other contestants were looking at her, and Lu Hanfei was also staring straight at her.

“You should know my choice.” He walked over confidently. “I think Su Jian has a lot of potential, and I see a reflection of myself when I first debuted in her. She feels like my little sister.”

Pooh!

You fucking want to sleep with your sister?!

your sister!

She cursed inwardly, but with the camera shoved right in her face, could Su Jian still show a bad expression?

She could only force a smile as she watched Lu Hanfei walk towards her step by step.

“Su Jian?” He raised an eyebrow. “Join my team.”

"I……"

This is terrible...

If I refuse... I'm afraid I'll be torn to pieces!

but……

"Huh?"

He looked up in an instant, wanting to ask Ye Xing for help, but suddenly found that the seat he was sitting in was empty and Ye Xing was gone.

Su Jian scratched her head in confusion, and finally could only nod helplessly.

There was no other way but to agree.

Anyway, as long as I remain steadfast to the death, there's nothing this guy can do.

"Congratulations to Coach Lu for winning your favorite contestant!" the host quickly said, trying to liven things up.

The other contestants around him cast congratulatory glances, and some even smiled at him, a stark contrast to his behavior backstage.

They can't be described as completely different; they're worlds apart.

"Welcome to my team." Victory seemed assured.

Lu Hanfei winked at himself, then turned around, tightened his clothes, and returned to his seat with a dashing air.

The program continued, but Su Jian had lost all interest in it.

Now she only cares about two things.

First, how should I deal with Lu Hanfei to avoid being targeted?

Second, where did Ye Xing go?

Could it be that he...?

Wait a minute! Could they be off preparing cement?

Hello!!!

……

After the studio recording wrapped up, the contestants began heading to the dormitories prepared by the production team to continue filming.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The photography studio was quickly emptied.

As soon as the camera was turned off, Lu Hanfei showed a tired and irritable expression. A dozen assistants immediately rushed over, bringing him tea and water and massaging his shoulders and back.

"Brother Lu, the car is ready."

"Oh." He gave a perfunctory reply.

Surrounded by a dozen assistants, Lu Hanfei strode toward the door in a grand procession. Everyone who passed by had to put down their work and step aside to wait for him to pass.

"By the way, Brother Lu, Lao Bai just said he had a stomachache and couldn't come, so we found a new driver."

"Hmm." Lu Hanfei didn't seem to care. "You guys keep an eye on that Su Jian for me. Oops~ Okay, where's the car?"

"The car..." The assistant glanced around, then waved his hand dismissively, "Hurry up! Don't you have any eyes? This way, this way!!!"

A black, extended Lincoln limousine parked nearby hurriedly drove up, and a cold glint flashed from a pair of sunglasses beneath the shadowed car window.

"Brother Lu, be careful..."

With the help of his personal assistant, Lu Hanfei and his companion finally got into the car in a relaxed manner.

The engine finally started with a hum.

Under the pitch-black night, the car drove into the distant darkness...

Chapter 19. Dying under the peony blossoms is still a romantic death.

"What a pity, we're not in the same dorm."

Walking towards her dormitory, Xu Momo pouted regretfully.

"It's okay, there will be other opportunities in the future." Su Jian also felt it was a pity, after all, it wasn't easy to make a friend.

From the moment you leave the studio, the camera will follow you 24 hours a day.

As a result, the disdainful and contemptuous gazes from all around disappeared, and everyone's attitude softened considerably.

"Su Jian, bye-bye!"

"Bye-Bye!"

He waved goodbye to Xu Momo, still feeling a little awkward in front of the camera.

After glancing at her assigned dormitory number, Su Jian carefully dragged her luggage along, and soon saw "Sweet House No. 3".

Each dormitory, or each group, has five people.

Su Jian remembered that her other four roommates were Lu Feichen, who had the highest votes in "Who is the Boy" but was strong enough to pass the semi-finals, Bai Xiao, whom she didn't know, Ouyang Qingzi, and He Ziling, who ranked first in both strength and popularity.

When they finally found the dormitory, it was already filled with cameras, and the other four people had also arrived.

"Hello." Su Jian greeted them politely.

"Hello, my name is Lu Feichen." With short hair and a boyish appearance, Lu Feichen readily extended his hand, displaying a very forthright manner.

After the two shook hands, a girl with crescent-shaped eyes who smiled also walked over.

"Hello, my name is Bai Xiaoxiao."

I greeted my new roommates.

Su Jian glanced quickly at the other two.

With her long, straight black hair and dressed in a black tuxedo, Ouyang Qingzi, who looked like a noblewoman living in the Middle Ages, smiled faintly at him: "Ouyang Qingzi, we just met."

“Mmm…” Su Jian smiled. “My name is Su Jian.”

"I know you."

"Huh? Hahahaha..."

After a few awkward laughs, Su Jian looked at her last roommate, He Ziling, who was ranked first in both popularity and strength and had almost gotten into a fight with her.

"……Um."

He looked himself up and down, seemingly looking down on himself.

He Ziling didn't even bother to say anything, just nodded and turned around to continue packing her luggage.

Su Jian could only manage an awkward laugh to cover up the uncomfortable atmosphere.

It was already quite late, and everyone quickly began packing their luggage.

Su Jian's belongings were very simple; she neither wore makeup nor had any messy clothes, and she was practically penniless.

She only had some very simple daily necessities, and a Hello Kitty doll that she specially prepared to show that she was very girlish.

"hiss……"

Looking at the pink Hello Kitty placed next to her pillow, Su Jian felt helpless, but this was better than being filled with cement and thrown into the sea, right?

It's a pity I can't secretly drink or smoke anymore, sigh...!

"The bathhouse is over there!"

At the entrance, a staff member followed by a photographer walked by quickly, giving instructions as he went, like a flash of lightning.

In that instant, Su Jian froze, stunned on the spot.

"A bathhouse?!"
