"Xiaochi, aren't you going to sleep yet?"
"Mom, can I watch TV for a little longer?"
"There's no class tomorrow?"
"No."
"Okay, just watch for a while?"
"Just a moment!"
Kim Min Ji is turning 14 this year. According to Korean calculations, she is already 15 years old.
It is the age when the study career of middle school and high school changes.
After yesterday's exam, she also had her own vacation after a long absence.
So Jin Minji didn't want to go to bed so early, now was the time to have fun.
But she doesn’t watch TV dramas very often, and her favorite animations aren’t being shown now.
"Ah, it turns out it's eleven o'clock." Jin Minchi patted his head and accidentally pressed the remote control.
"Hey, "PRODUCE 48"?"
"What's this?"
"It seems like a talent show."
Jin Minji didn't know if this program would be good to watch, but since there was no other program he wanted to watch anyway, he might as well follow his curiosity and watch it without switching channels for now.
…
"Unnie, don't sleep, the show has started."
Kang Seulgi shook Bae Zhuhyun, who was half-lidded on the sofa. If she looked to the side, she would find that Park Sooyoung and Kim Yerin were not asleep either and were staying in the living room together.
On the TV in the center of the living room, the words "PRODUCE 101 X AKB48" were playing on the screen.
Then, clips of many trainees appeared one after another.
The close-up of Pei Yourong also flashed by.
Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but stood up.
"Hey, Ernie is blocking the TV, sit down quickly!" Jin Yelin muttered.
By the time Bae Zhuhyun sat down again, the TV series was already showing tutorials on voting operations.
That's right, from the moment the show started airing, the voting channel exclusively for girls was officially opened.
When Jiang Seulqi saw Bae Zhuhyun lowering her head to find her mobile phone, she felt something was wrong.
"Where is the official website? Found it."
"Click here?"
"Ah, it worked."
Bae Zhuhyun was talking to herself, not even bothering to watch TV.
In Jiang Seulgi's horrified eyes, she, this Ernie, uncharacteristically gave up the persona of a mobile phone idiot and completed the voting in just a moment.
"O...Onie, are you sure you want to vote?" Jiang Seqi asked cautiously.
"Of course, the higher-ups won't let me vote." Bae Zhuhyun was confident, and then she grabbed Jiang Seulqi's hand and said, "You can vote for me too!"
Park Xiurong hid beside her and covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"Why are you laughing? Jiuyi, you vote too! So do you!"
"why why why!"
Everyone protested dissatisfied.
"Yeah, I'm the captain!"
"I'm still the maknae."
"Jin Yilin, I think you want to rebel!"
"Onie, I feel like you don't love me anymore than before, ever since she appeared."
Seeing the two people starting to play tricks again, Jiang Seulqi held Jin Yelin's head calmly while taking the opportunity to talk to Bae Zhuhyun.
"Unnie, do you want some ice cream?"
"Oh, please stop mentioning this."
Bae Zhuhyun frowned, but surprisingly, after eating expired ice cream, her and Jiang Seulqi's bodies still had no reaction.
"What, this show is so boring." Park Soo-young couldn't help but said while lying on the sofa.
She has been in the industry for several years, and now when she watches the plot of these amateurs appearing on TV and choosing their positions one by one, her first reaction is that there is no highlight.
Maybe the audience will like it, but Park Soo Young is not interested in it.
Bae Zhuhyun also felt a little bored.
"Why hasn't Xiao Pei appeared yet?!"
Just when the five people were about to fall asleep, the style of the program suddenly changed.
It turned out that the people from AKB came out.
"The number one position is still vacant."
Pei Zhuhyun said this when she saw the neon girl on TV whose name she couldn't name.
"No." She retorted subconsciously.
"Why not?" Jin Yilin suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"You don't understand even after I told you." Pei Zhuxuan glanced at Jin Yelin, but this time she didn't care about her.
But this made Jin Yelin even more curious.
"Is Xiao Pei so powerful? Even these neon idols can't compare to him?"
"Ah, what is your name "Xiao Pei"! "
"Mo? Then Unni, tell me what year, month and day she was born."
"August 30, 2000."
"That's okay, I'm 99!"
"Not even 99!"
Jin Yelin stared at Pei Zhuhyun for a while, and then asked tentatively: "Unnie, you really don't like me like before, right?"
While the two were talking, the scene on the TV changed again.
"Is the number one spot still vacant?"
"Will it be JYP?"
When Pei Zhuxuan heard the voice on the TV and turned around, she realized that the original position had almost been selected.
After the trainees discussed it, what appeared next was a logo that was extremely familiar to the five people in the dormitory.
"S&M Entertainment"
Unlike the trainees who were all confused and shocked on the screen, the moment the logo appeared, Bae Zhuhyun knew what it meant what would happen next.
"Xiao Pei, when will you return to South Korea?"
"Unnie, it's going to be soon. You'll know when the time comes."
"Then it's agreed, I'll wait for you here."
"Yeah, it's agreed."
As if he had fulfilled an agreement, when Pei Yourong slowly walked to the stage on TV, he also seemed to be walking in front of Pei Zhuxuan.
"We're finally here." Pei Zhuxuan said softly.
Soon, Pei Yourong on the screen was labeled as a former S&M player, and everyone even saw her walking straight through all the trainees, and sitting alone at the top.
But these are not important to Pei Zhuxuan, not at all.
The important thing is that Pei Yourong is really back.
Others in the dormitory also expressed surprise.
"Ah, our company's logo is actually used."
"Hey, I really chose number one, it's not bad."
"She looks so tall. She seems completely different from Peoni in our team."
In the eyes of everyone in the dormitory, the show seemed to have only become interesting after Pei Yourong appeared. So when the instructor announced the start of the ratings, they all couldn't help but guess what kind of performance Pei Yourong would perform later.
What kind of music are you going to perform?
But everyone had been waiting for a long time. After the trainees appeared one after another and the show was about to end, they had not yet waited for Pei Yourong to take the stage.
"For a trainee like this, the program team will definitely arrange for the finale, right?" Son Seungwan is well aware of the nature of these variety shows.
"Yeah, won't it take a long time?"
"No, the progress seems to be fast."
As Sun Shengwan said, it was indeed fast. After the final ace Miyawaki Sakura, who was edited into Neon Idol, appeared, the next scene was finally played about Pei Yourong.
"The next person to appear is...former S&M..."
Words like this appeared on the screen.
Then, the scene of Pei Yourong singing appeared for a short moment.
Then, and then nothing.
That’s right, the official content of the first episode of the show ends here.
Although it only lasted a few seconds, Sun Shengwan, who had a sensitive hearing, still recognized the familiar voice just now.
"That's, that's the accompaniment of "I", right?" Son Seung-wan said with some uncertainty.
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Pei Zhuxuan, wanting to see what the other person's reaction would be.
The last thing I saw was a short woman with disheveled hair who threw the sofa pillows to the ground.
"I hate this show!!"
