Chapter 461 Reasons for being willful
Regarding this, the program team was also very helpless.
Although this was a loophole in the rules, since it had already been announced, they could only bite the bullet and proceed.
After the last contestant finished choosing, He Dong came on stage to stand beside the four guest judges, looking at Xia Jiuqi with a chuckle.
"Jiuqi, you still have one replacement right. Apart from Professor Liang's team members, you can swap one team member with the other two teachers…"
"I'm not swapping!"
Before He Dong could finish speaking, Xia Jiuqi quickly shook her head, giving up the so-called replacement right.
Joking, the contestants in her team now were a strong batch.
Swap?
Only if one's head has a pit would one swap!
Pang Yunfei瞥 (piē - glanced) at Xia Jiuqi's six team members, said with a troubled face: "Jiuqi, swap, swap. Your team members are too strong. Otherwise, the group confrontation later will fundamentally have no highlight of a strong-versus-strong showdown!"
"Agreed."
Jin Jueping chimed in, in agreement.
This conversation left Liang Chenglei completely bewildered . However, he didn't ask either. Anyway, it was just one day of recording. He originally came with the intention of completing the Dean's mission, fundamentally didn't care who the final champion would be.
Xia Jiuqi looked at the two with a half-smile, "Teachers, listening to your words, do you mean you don't think your team members are strong?"
The two instantly awkward, not knowing how to respond.
In front of the contestants, how could they admit such a thing?
After a brief moment of hesitation, the two repeatedly shook their heads.
"No contestant who can make it to this step is weak!"
"That's right, our contestants are all very strong!"
Hearing these words, Xia Jiuqi smiled very happily, "Since it's like this, how could there be no highlight of a strong-versus-strong showdown?"
Pang Yunfei: "…"
Jin Jueping: "…"
Fell into this little girl's trap !
At this point, the swapping incident ended.
Just as He Dong was preparing to announce the start of the group confrontation, Liang Chenglei, who hadn't spoken all along, suddenly spoke, his arrow pointing straight at Ye Fan and Ning Xi.
"You two little ones, why didn't you choose me?"
One sentence attracted everyone's attention to Ye Fan and Ning Xi.
Perceiving the crowd's gazes coming and going, Ye Fan took a step to the left, blocking in front of Ning Xi, smiled as if nothing had happened.
"Teacher Xia can sing."
"…"
The corner of Liang Chenglei's mouth twitched, his old eyes rolled, "Just because of this?"
This reason…
Truly willful!
"Mm."
Ye Fan nodded calmly, his expression without the slightest fluctuation.
This demeanor made quite a few people secretly click their tongues in amazement.
Awesome!
You should know, the person he was facing was the Vice President of the Academy of Science and Technology. If they were in Ye Fan's position, they would definitely be too nervous to speak, definitely couldn't be as calm as Ye Fan.
Liang Chenglei shook his head, his face, weathered by years, showing utter helplessness. He nodded towards He Dong, "Host, I have no more questions, can proceed to the next segment."
He Dong nodded slightly, raised the microphone and announced: "Grouping complete. The group confrontation segment will begin immediately. Contestants, please try your best to perform in the competition. Regardless of win or loss, as long as the performance is stunning, you can receive a good score. Wanting to advance to the top eight, scoring is crucial."
"First, please have the four guest judges name their teams."
After simple discussion, soon the names of the four teams were freshly released.
Summer Team !
Pang Family Army!
Golden Crow Team!
Liangshan Heroes Team!
After drawing lots, the first two teams to compete were Summer Team and Golden Crow Team. The remaining Pang Family Army and Liangshan Heroes Team automatically became opponents.
Each team had an exclusive lounge. Cameras were installed in the lounge, capable of capturing everything happening in the lounge in real time.
Summer Team lounge.
Before the long table, Xia Jiuqi sat at the head, with three people sitting on each of her left and right sides.
"Group confrontation rules: each team sends out two contestants at a time for a relay competition. For the first round, is anyone willing to go first?"
As Xia Jiuqi's voice fell, none of the six spoke up first.
Seeing this, Xia Jiuqi's gaze landed on Ye Fan, her fingers lightly tapping on the desktop, "How about, you and Ning Xi go first as the first group to set an example for everyone?"
Ye Fan didn't answer immediately, turned his head to look at Ning Xi on his left, asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xi, do you want to go on stage first?"
"I… either is fine."
Ning Xi's delicate head drooped, replied inaudibly low: "Gege can arrange it."
Ye Fan bowed his head/nodded), nodded towards Xia Jiuqi, "Since it's like this, then Xiao Xi and I will compete as the first group."
Xia Jiuqi smiled with satisfaction, her gaze landing on the faces of the other four, assigned: "Shen Li and Zhao Dong second group, Wang Haoyu and Li Shan third group, any problems?"
"None!"
"OK, then that's it."
...
In the contestant passage, Ye Fan and Ning Xi, who were waiting, were talking in low voices when two members of the Golden Crow Team walked out of the elevator. One of them, a boy wearing black-rimmed glasses, had a worried face.
The other long-haired boy clapped his hands, comforted: "Don't worry, Ye Fan and Ning Xi should be in one group. According to normal circumstances, those two will definitely be the last group to appear as the grand finale. We won't encounter them."
"Hope so!"
Just as his voice fell, turning the corner, they saw Ye Fan and Ning Xi. The two instantly were stunned, petrified on the spot.
Couldn't be this unlucky, right?
Should… not be!
Maybe just want to familiarize themselves with the stage in advance, must be like this, that's right!
At this moment, the two achieved mental unity.
Ye Fan and Ning Xi naturally also noticed the two, immediately realized these were their opponents for later.
Ye Fan wasn't prepared to greet them, but Ning Xi, due to her strict upbringing, politely nodded, "Hello, please give much guidance in the competition later."
Her soft, sweet, glutinous voice made the two couldn't help but their hearts荡漾 (dàngyàng - ripple/stir).
But after discerning the meaning in her words, their expressions became more brilliant than the last.
Much guidance?
What does that mean?
Damn ——
How...
Feels like something isn't right!
The glasses boy swallowed, secretly glanced at the captivatingly tempered Ning Xi, quickly averted his gaze, squeezed out a stiff smile towards Ye Fan, cautiously inquired: "Contestant Ye Fan, what are you two doing? Familiarizing yourselves with the stage in advance?"
"No."
Ye Fan glanced at this person, said lightly: "Same as you, waiting to go on stage."
Kacha—— (sound of something breaking/cracking)
Kacha——
The glasses boy's body staggered, his expression uglier than crying. The other person's reaction was also similar.
It's over!!!
"Next, please welcome the first group of contestants from both teams to the stage."
He Dong's voice sounded from the front. Ye Fan took Ning Xi's small hand and headed towards the stage.
The two members of the Golden Crow Team, you look at me, I look at you; ultimately could only bite the bullet and follow behind.
After the four walked onto the stage, He Dong strode to stand in the middle of the four. Noticing the abnormality in the expressions of the two Golden Crow Team contestants, he half-jokingly said: "Contestant Jin Hao and contestant Zhao Fang look like they're a bit unhappy?"
