“No, no, it wasn't intentional, I just wanted to answer the teacher's question.”
“I'm really handsome, and the girls in school keep wanting to date me.”
“Isn't today the last day of the college entrance exam?”
“When I was in school, I could always find excuses, saying high school students can't fall in love early.”
“But today, my high school career has ended, and a bunch of girls came to confess after the college entrance exam.”
“I really couldn't stand it, so I heard this show is going to have a three-month training session.”
“So I thought, three months is perfect, I can hide from my classmates during these three months of training, and I won't be afraid of them confessing, so I came.”
“Hahaha~” When Cao Gong finished explaining, the trainees present, and the teachers, couldn't help but laugh.
Dilireba lay on the table, laughing so hard she couldn't straighten up.
Even the viewers watching the show were amused.
“Cao Zei, going to training won't work, I'll wait for you to come out!!”
“Cao Gong! I can confess to you when you come out of training!”
“You're a talent for going to a talent show to avoid confessions!”
“You're so cunning, you went to a talent show to avoid confessions?”
“People go to talent shows for their dreams! You go to a talent show to avoid confessions?”
“You're too young, you don't know how to cherish it!”
“Cao Zei! Do you know how many people regret not falling in love in high school? So many girls are chasing after you to confess, and you're running away, you're hiding? It's truly a case of drought in the south and floods in the north.”
Cheng Xiao on the scene covered her mouth, laughing so hard her chest shook.
This was the first time she had seen such a funny trainee.
“Why don't you accept the girls' confessions? Are they not pretty enough?”
“Pretty!” Cao Gong looked at Cheng Xiao seriously and nodded in response: “They're really pretty; like you guys, pretty, and they also have great figures, fair and clean, and their temperament is also very sweet.”
“If they're pretty, why not accept them?” Cheng Xiao was even more confused now.
“I'm a fan of Jin Yong's martial arts dramas.”
“What does that have to do with anything?” Dilireba asked him with a chuckle.
“In Jin Yong's TV series ‘The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber’, Zhang Wuji's mother said something: The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.”
“They're too dangerous, so I can't afford to mess with them, I have to hide?”
Cao Gong's personality made these few mentors like him very much.
“You'll regret it! It's too expensive for boys these days to date a girlfriend.”
“You have a zero-cost opportunity to date now, and you don't want it?” Dilireba chuckled and reminded him.
“I don't need women! Women will only affect my gaming speed.”
Cao Gong's answer once again caused the male audience watching the show to erupt in laughter.
This line is classic, women only affect a guy's gaming speed, there's no denying it.
And it was this line that became one of the most popular internet phrases after the show aired.
“Well, since you're here for a talent show, tell us, what kind of singer do you want to be?”
“A rap singer?” Cao Gong looked weakly at Dilireba, answering her question.
“Another rap singer?” Dilireba even had a headache, saying: “I'm not looking down on rap singers, nor am I looking down on you, the key is, at this point, you're still saying you want to be a rap singer?”
“Just now, Teacher Zhang Yixing went off on this very issue.”
Dilireba felt a little sorry for the kid now, he had just gained so much favor.
But because of his answer, his favorability with Zhang Yixing had dropped.
“You said you want to be a rap singer?” Zhang Yixing went from being cute and milky to extremely serious.
“Not necessarily!” Cao Gong shrugged and looked at Zhang Yixing: “I just thought, since so many people have said they want to be a rap singer, I'll just follow the trend, after all, I don't know what kind of singer I want to be.”
“Can you rap?” Zhang Yixing's tone was very strict, asking Cao Gong.
“I've learned, I can a little.” Cao Gong answered seriously, and his gaze didn't move from Zhang Yixing's.
“How long have you been rapping? Or, how long have you been seriously writing lyrics?”
“Uh-huh, half a year?” Cao Gong answered Ouyang Jin's question.
As soon as Cao Gong answered, Zhang Yixing very strictly said to him: “Come on! Bring out your work!”
“What?” Cao Gong asked Zhang Yixing calmly.
“Didn't you say you've been rapping for half a year? You've been writing lyrics for half a year?”
“Come on, bring out your work, let us see your rap work.”
“Okay!” Cao Gong readily agreed to Zhang Yixing's request.
“Oh.” Now even Wang Jiaer was interested: “So you mean, you have written rap lyrics yourself?”
“I guess so? I just don't know if they're good or not.” Cao Gong still looked very relaxed.
“Alright, come on! Show us your work.” Zhang Yixing said to him.
“Showing is fine, but can I ask a question?” Before showing, Cao Gong asked Zhang Yixing.
“What question?”
“What language?” Cao Gong asked Zhang Yixing.
“What what language? What do you mean?” Zhang Yixing was a little confused.
“Rap lyrics, what language should I show?”
“My native language? Cantonese? English? Or Korean?”
“...” Cao Gong's question stunned the six mentors.
Zhang Yixing's strictness turned into astonishment: “Your written rap lyrics, are there four languages?”
“Yeah, after being single for 20 years, my lyric writing speed is no joke.”
“Hahaha~” It was quite serious, but then this sudden remark made the teachers burst out laughing.
“So that means you know English and Korean?” Cheng Xiao asked with a smile.
“I know a little, after all, I just graduated from high school, I'll definitely know some English.”
“Korean isn't that hard either, it's just a language that branched out from Chinese, you can learn it in a month if you put your mind to it, it's not difficult; and Korean characters are either circles or small squares, otherwise, it's horizontal or vertical strokes.”
“There's no difficulty.” Cao Gong's attitude made them unable to refute.
“In that case, how about a Chinese rap song first?” Ouyang Jin directly stated that he wanted Chinese.
“Okay.” Cao Gong was also polite to the teacher's request.
Just a Chinese rap song, for him, really wasn't a big deal.
However, Cao Gong, holding the microphone, also unceremoniously told the show's sound engineer: “Sound engineer, you just have to play the second song on the USB flash drive I gave you.”
At Cao Gong's reminder, the sound engineer immediately played the song he mentioned.
This was because Cao Gong had prepared in advance and given the USB flash drive to the sound engineer.
Now, at Cao Gong's reminder, the sound engineer knew which one to play.
Soon, the song accompaniment Cao Gong chose came on.
