Chapter 2
Reba's Resentful Gaze

“He's a real thief! He saw our Fat Di and wasn't even amazed, you know, he's still sleeping!”

“Cao Thief, you're too arrogant! My Reba has been stunning all along, but you're sleeping, that's too disrespectful, haha~”

“Cao Thief, you're going to die, how dare you ignore our Fat Di.”

“That's so rude, the mentors are here, and you're still sleeping? Isn't that too uncivilized?”

“It's normal to be tired, I heard they were recording at eight or nine at night.”

“Yeah, you can't say it's uncivilized, you can only say he's tired, it's normal to be sleepy!”

The audience watching the show were all frantically spamming comments.

The mentors were also introducing themselves one after another.

“Hello, all trainees, I am your representative for the National Producer, Dilireba.”

Dilireba held the microphone, her pretty face filled with a confident and beautiful smile, introducing herself to everyone.

After her, the other mentors followed suit with their introductions.

“Hello, all trainees, I am your dance mentor, Zhang Yixing.”

“Hello, all trainees, I am your dance mentor, Cheng Xiao.”

“Hello, all trainees, I am your rap mentor, Wang Jiaer.”

“Hello, all trainees, I am your rap mentor, Ou Yang Jing.”

“Hello, all trainees, I am your vocal mentor, Li Ronghao.”

After all the trainees introduced themselves, the trainees present were very excited.

Only Dilireba always subconsciously looked at Cao Thief in the corner.

She wanted to see how long this guy could sleep for?

But even during their mentor group’s introductions, this guy still didn't seem to wake up.

Seeing this, Dilireba couldn't help but tilt her head and look at this teenager who was fast asleep.

Cheng Xiao noticed and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

“Don't look at him, he's probably just too tired and fell asleep.”

“You should announce the rules first.” Cheng Xiao reminded Reba with a chuckle, telling her to announce the rules first.

“Idol Trainee, the ultimate decision on your fate will be determined by the votes of the National Producers...”

Dilireba looked at the script, explaining the rules of the show to the trainees.

However, while seriously announcing the rules, Dilireba was using her beauty to strike every trainee, making them marvel at her beauty.

Of course, that didn't include the sleeping Cao Thief.

Otherwise, why is he called Cao Thief? His behavior is definitely that of a Cao Thief.

“As the show progresses, these 100 chairs will gradually decrease, and ultimately only nine will remain.” Dilireba said, looking at the trainees.

This time, the trainees present all felt tremendous pressure.

“This means that only nine of you can eventually become members of the top-tier Chinese boy group.”

Looking at the trainees, Dilireba asked with a smile, “Feeling the pressure?”

“Yes!!!” The trainees all answered, the pressure was indeed immense.

Out of 101 trainees, only nine would be chosen.

And everyone here basically had the skills to be there.

So to stand out from this crowd, the pressure was definitely tremendous.

“Is it big? Why can't I feel your pressure?” Dilireba asked them with a smile.

“The pressure is HUGE!!!” The trainees responded loudly to Dilireba.

But Dilireba still smiled and said, “I think, I don’t think so?”

“If the pressure is so great, why is someone sleeping so peacefully?”

“Haha~” Now, the mentors all understood that Reba was subtly criticizing the sleeping Cao Thief.

“It seems you guys still don't understand the ruthlessness of this competition, there's actually someone who can still sleep?”

Dilireba’s subtle criticism and mockery also caused the trainees near Cao Thief to laugh and wake him up.

Cao Gong, who was awakened, looked around in a daze.

Noticing that the trainee next to him was talking to him, Cao Gong quickly took off the earphones from his ears.

“What's wrong? Is it my turn to go on stage?” Cao Gong asked the trainee next to him, confused.

“No, the mentors are here, you're still sleeping? That's too rude.”

The trainee next to Cao Gong was actually Fan Chengcheng.

After Fan Chengcheng explained, Cao Gong said awkwardly and embarrassedly, “Sorry, I was too sleepy.”

“Sleepy? Didn't you have a good rest today?” Dilireba, standing on the stage, asked him.

“Huh?” Cao Gong was confused for a moment, and said, “No, I did.”

“You know you're going to be staying up tonight, even pulling an all-nighter to record our initial stage performance for this show.”

“Why didn't you get a good rest today?” Dilireba asked Cao Gong, holding the script.

“The college entrance exams.” Cao Gong scratched his head and answered Dilireba's question.

“Huh? You still took the college entrance exam today?” Dilireba really didn't expect it.

“Yeah, today was the last day of the college entrance exam, I finished the comprehensive paper in the afternoon, and then flew to the capital immediately, then took a car from the capital to here, it was very rushed, so I didn't get any sleep.”

“It was too noisy on the plane, I couldn't sleep.” Cao Gong's explanation finally made the mentors understand.

The audience watching the show knew that he rushed here after the college entrance exam, so they could understand.

No wonder he arrived so quickly, it was all for a reason.

“Alright, if you're sleepy, go back to sleep, I'll have someone wake you up later.”

“Get some rest first, don't let it affect your performance later.”

After saying these words, Dilireba herself couldn't believe it.

Cheng Xiao beside her even looked at her in surprise.

As if asking, what are you doing? You're acting like a little wife.

The viewers watching the show were also bursting into laughter.

“Is our Fat Di charmed by this Cao Thief? She's acting all wifely.”

“Haha~ Fat Di, don't fall for him, don't fall in love now!”

“Fat Di, you just got famous, don't be silly and fall in love!”

“Fat Di, if you fall in love, I'll definitely become a hater!”

However, Dilireba didn't know what the netizens were joking about now.

Dilireba on the stage explained the rules: “We will evaluate you based on your performance and give you an A, B, C, D, or F ranking, those who get an A represent the most outstanding performers among these 101.”

“Those who get an F mean you’re not ready yet.”

At this point, Dilireba’s eyes darted towards Cao Thief in the corner again.

This made Dilireba mutter: Damn, why sit so far away? Can't you sit in the middle?

If you were in the middle, I could see you all the time, I wouldn't have to keep glancing over.

Damn, little kid, you’ll have a chance to see how your sister takes care of you.
