“Hello mentors, I’m Cao Zei, and I’m going to start recording my theme song performance now.”
After saying that, Cao Gong immediately began to prepare.
Because there was no backing track, it was just dry dancing and dry singing, so he could start directly after getting ready.
However, Cao Gong’s simple self-introduction and foreshadowing stunned everyone.
Was it so perfunctory? He could have at least said a few nice words to make the mentors remember him, right?
What was going on now? He just stated his name, said he was starting the performance, and then started?
But after beginning, Cao Gong did indeed follow his own rhythm, flawlessly performing the dance to the song "eiei." When he sang, his voice was clear enough.
While singing this song, Cao Gong sang the lyrics clearly, unlike other trainees who couldn't even sing the lyrics clearly. This was because they knew their singing skills weren’t good.
With poor singing skills, naturally, they wouldn’t have the confidence to sing well, so they either sang softly or didn’t pronounce the words clearly.
Actually, it was no wonder. These were all young boys around 20 years old. How good could their singing skills be?
On the other hand, Cao Gong sang with great confidence. Every word was clear and distinct.
Then there was the dance. Every move was natural and smooth, as if born from the heavens.
This dance, paired with his singing, put tremendous pressure on the other trainees watching from the side.
But there was no way around it. Cao Gong was the most familiar with this song and dance.
If he didn’t have this performance, it would be even more embarrassing.
“Thank you.” After finishing his performance, Cao Gong immediately bowed to the camera.
“Can we stop?” Cao Gong asked the program staff in confusion.
After recording, Cao Gong didn’t forget to say, "Remember to mop the floor before you record."
"I've been dancing, so I must have sweated a lot. The floor is slippery. Don't let it affect your recording later."
Reminded by Cao Gong, the next trainee came out to prepare, mopping the floor.
Cao Gong left the practice room, took off his shirt and wrung it out.
The water poured out of the shirt, and this scene, when aired in the show, made countless viewers gasp.
How much did Cao Gong practice? His shirt was like a waterfall!
Not only was he talented but also exceptionally hard-working. It would be too much to expect such a trainee not to debut!
However, viewers also noticed something from the show.
Cao Gong had been practicing since morning, and after practicing by himself for a long time, he immediately began practicing the dance for his song with Zhang Yi Xing when Zhang Yi Xing arrived.
"What are you doing?" Dilireba came out and saw Cao Gong taking off his shirt.
"My shirt is soaked, I'm wringing it out." Cao Gong, bare-chested, quickly shook out his shirt and draped it over himself, clutching it to his chest, his eyes filled with a fear of exposure.
Dilireba walked over with a smile, saying, “What are you covering up for? It's too late for that, isn’t it?”
"I covered it up as soon as possible. You definitely didn't see anything." Cao Gong’s face flushed, a rare occurrence.
"Don't I watch the show? Do you think the program staff wouldn't cut this kind of bonus footage for the viewers to see?"
"Even if the program staff doesn't air it, I can go find the recording and watch it myself."
"Is that necessary? Quickly put it down. Let the teacher take a good look."
Dilireba forcefully slapped away his hand.
But Cao Gong, still holding the shirt to cover himself, stubbornly refused, "No."
"What do you think you're doing? You're the teacher, and I'm the student."
"It's not appropriate for a teacher to tease their student like this, is it?" Cao Gong really blushed to his ears.
"We are teacher-student now, but who knows if we will be a teacher-student couple later?" Reba laughed.
"What? Dilireba, don’t go too far!"
"I treat you as a teacher, but you are thinking about hitting on me?"
Cao Gong’s excited and sarcastic words made Dilireba extremely happy.
The viewers watching the show were also struck by Cao Gong’s retort to Reba.
But some people found it amusing.
Cao Gong was trying to keep away from the girls, but the girls were trying their best to get close to him.
The more Cao Gong avoided these girls, the more they pounced on him.
"Quickly put on your shirt. We’re still filming. What are you thinking?"
Reba scolded him, urging him to put on his shirt.
But Cao Gong was still clutching his chest, stammering, "You, you, you, you turn around, don't look."
"Hahaha~" Cao Gong's shy and timid act like a little girl made Dilireba unable to hold back her laughter.
Why did Cao Gong’s tone sound so familiar to Dilireba?
No, it wasn’t just Dilireba. The female viewers watching the show also felt it.
This familiar tone and scene, wasn’t it like the male lead accidentally walking in on the female lead changing clothes in a TV series, and the female lead shyly covering herself with her clothes, blushing and angrily telling the male lead to turn around and not look?
But this scene happened on the show today, and it was different.
Because these were originally the lines and reactions of a girl, but they happened to an 185-cm-tall boy.
It was precisely because of this bizarre reversal that the female viewers watching the show were so excited and happy.
"What's there to be shy about? You will see it sooner or later anyway.”
"You, you, you, you are a rascal! What are you talking about?" Cao Gong hugged himself like a disgruntled little wife.
"I'm a rascal? I'm just looking at you putting on your clothes. How am I a rascal?" Dilireba retorted angrily.
Dilireba's attitude made Cao Gong even more excited, almost to the point of crying, "You think you're right for looking at me putting on my clothes?"
"Pfft~” Cao Gong’s reaction made Reba cover her mouth and laugh uncontrollably.
"Quickly turn around. What did your boss Yang Mi teach you?”
"A female artist, looking at a handsome guy with his shirt off, isn't afraid of rumors?"
"Please let me go. I haven’t even debuted yet. Your fans will scold me to death later."
"Don’t be so sensitive." Reba still smirked and raised an eyebrow at Cao Gong.
He couldn’t take it anymore, so Cao Gong hugged his clothes with one hand and reached out to Reba with the other.
"My hands are covered in sweat. You saw it just now, the sweat I wrung out of my clothes."
"Do you believe me if I put my hand on your face? I can’t reason with you. I’ll disgust you to death."
"Heh heh~" Reba stopped teasing him, but laughed and turned around.
When Reba turned around, Cao Gong didn’t put on his shirt either. He turned around and ran away quickly.
Watching him run away like a flash of lightning, the viewers watching the show were all laughing.
Realizing she had been tricked, Dilireba turned around and roared, "Cao Gong!!!"
But Cao Gong ran away from the other direction, not passing by Reba's side at all.
It was because the practice room in this training camp had two exits, so he could run out from the other side.
He was kidding. If he didn’t run, who knows what the goblin teacher would do next?
