Immortal Koi Is Going To Debut - Chapter 11

 

Chapter 11: Clips

After the recording of the preliminary round, An Zhihan bounced up like a spring and chased after An Zhiyan with a whoosh.

The judges and hosts were the first to leave, followed by the contestants.

The contestants had to exit in order. Knowing that there were cameras around now, they became more reserved and didn't rush to leave.

To stay away from An Zhihan, Su Jinli chose a corner, which unfortunately happened to be near the exit. So, he had no choice but to follow An Zhihan to leave the venue.

Once outside, An Zhihan hopped like a bunny and chased after An Zhiyan, begging, "Brother! Brother! Help me, help me, brother!"

"Only now you remember that I'm your brother?" An Zhiyan replied unenthusiastically.

"I've always thought of you as my dearest brother~" An Zhihan started to act cute.

An Zhiyan gave An Zhihan a disdainful look and asked, "Don't you think that's disgusting?"

"Help me... You can't air it, or I'm done for."

"No discussion. You're also going to enter the entertainment industry. Your every word and action will be scrutinized. Pay attention in the future."

"You can't just do this when I'm just at the beginning."

An Zhiyan shook off An Zihan and continued to walk away quickly.

An Zhihan continued to chase after him and shouted, "I told them about your lip-syncing."

An Zhiyan was so angry that his nose was crooked.

Last time, six people sang a song together, and he only had a few lines. They stood in a row, and five of them lip-synced. Did they expect him to sing for real?

As a result, when the lip-syncing was exposed, he was the one who received the most severe criticism. Even the public relations team had a hard time defending him. Thinking of this, he got angry, turned around, and cursed, "You f*cking..."

Su Jinli had been following them from behind. An Zhiyan suddenly got angry, and his body was filled with a strong aura. He turned around fiercely, scaring Su Jinli so much that he trembled and almost fell, but he managed to hold onto the wall.

He leaned against the wall for a while to calm down. His heart was still beating fast.

He almost thought that An Zhiyan was going to use his aura to burn him.

Braised koi isn't good to eat QAQ.

"Look at how scared you've made the little guy." An Zhihan pointed at Su Jinli and asked An Zhiyan.

An Zhiyan didn't expect Su Jinli to be so afraid of him. Based on their previous encounters, An Zhiyan had finally figured out that Su Jinli seemed to be afraid of getting close to him.

To test this, An Zhiyan walked over and asked Su Jinli, "Are you okay?"

Su Jinli almost leaned against the wall to avoid him and stuttered, "I'm fine... you... you can go ahead..."

"Are you sure you're okay?" An Zhiyan asked again.

An Zhiyan was 193 centimeters tall, 9 centimeters taller than Su Jinli, and had a more muscular build than Su Jinli even when he was "puffed up."

Standing in front of Su Jinli like this, he exuded a sense of oppression.

Su Jinli felt the aura that made his entire body tense, and he felt even more uncomfortable.

Compared to An Zhihan, he was more afraid of An Zhiyan.

An Zihan's soul seemed cleaner and he was inherently a kind person, so he could tolerate sitting together.

But An Zhiyan was not.

An Zhiyan was not a good person.

"It's okay..." After Su Jinli answered, he walked around them and continued forward.

An Zhiyan watched Su Jinli leave and then walked over to An Zihan, raising his index finger to push An Zhihan's head.

After all, they were brothers, and An Zhihan knew what this gesture meant. He couldn't help but smile.

However, he suddenly became playful and continued to act, "If you don't help me delete it, I'll talk about your secrets every day in the future." Then he left with a flick of his sleeve.

An Zhiyan helplessly watched An Zhihan leave and then chatted with a few judges, "Do you have any siblings?"

"No," Cang Ai replied.

"My self-cultivation now is all thanks to An Zhihan."

-----

An Zhiyan sat in the editing room, staring at three computers at the same time. Behind him stood a row of editors who didn't dare to say a word.

In fact, An Zhiyan didn't have time to take on this talent show. He only looked at the program proposal when he heard that An Zhihan was going to participate in the show. As soon as he saw the first round, he realized that it wasn't good.

If they really filmed it that way, An Zhihan might look like he was arguing with other contestants or even going after girls on camera.

He needed to send someone to the production team to have absolute control over the footage of An Zhihan and ensure that anything unfavorable to him wouldn't be broadcasted.

However, his decision to host the talent show was because of another person.

Su Jinli.

He looked at the contestant profiles and lingered on Su Jinli's page for a long time.

In fact, he had only met Su Jinli twice, but he inexplicably couldn't forget about him. When he found out that Su Jinli was also participating, he actually took on the job.

An Zhiyan is gay.

He had realized this a long time ago and grew up in such a family, learning self-protection from an early age.

So much so that he had never dated or had any scandals in all these years, hiding his sexuality very well.

He didn't know what yang energy was, but he had been troubled since he was young. People would inexplicably develop feelings for him and even become entangled with him when they got close to him.

When he just entered puberty, there were female celebrities, even women who could be his mother, who had a crush on him. Many men thought he had no awareness in that area, so they would touch his arm or back.

In the early days of his fame, he even received fan letters written in blood.

There were also crazy fans who would follow him and sneak into his house without his knowledge. Once, he opened the door to find a pile of clothes on the ground and a female fan lying naked on his bed.

He immediately left and let Jiang Pingchuan handle it. Later, he didn't even want that house anymore.

The most disgusting thing was when he was a child, an elder relative took him into a room, closed the door, and said, "Come here, let Uncle hug you."

An Zhiyan almost bit that person's hand, and the two families never had contact again.

As he grew older, An Zhiyan gradually got used to these strange phenomena and even used them to get what he wanted.

He also strictly guarded against anyone approaching him and rarely attended fan meetings.

As long as there was no close contact, it wouldn't be too serious.

He knew he would be like this, so he took precautions when his younger brother was very young and protected An Zhihan very well. As a result, An Zhihan's personality became what it is today - fearless.

No one in the world can bully his younger brother.

But he likes to bully his younger brother.

This is a kind of perverse pleasure.

The day he arranged for his brother to enter Muzitao, he met Su Jinli by chance. Su Jinli was the first person to see him and was scared and wanted to avoid him.

The more Su Jinli avoided him and feared him, the more he couldn't help but want to study Su Jinli.

Perhaps he could find a solution from Su Jinli without resorting to such troublesome methods?

After watching the videos, Jiang Pingqiu thought for a while and then looked at the video editors.

The editors immediately understood and left.

"An Zhihan's entrance was late, but his performance was normal. Moreover, his sarcastic comments are quite interesting, so there's no need to delete them," said An Zhiyan as he dragged the progress bar and watched it again.

"Do we delete the part where he kicks the door and the lip-syncing part..." Jiang Pingqiu pointed to one of the sections.

"Leave it. Everyone knows it's fake, and it adds to the authenticity," replied An Ziyi.

An Zhiyan played it for a bit longer and pointed to a part, saying, "Keep the part where these people privately discuss An Zhihan. After An Zhihan finishes performing, put up their surprised expressions. It will have a 'face-slapping' effect. Also, these people seem to be praising An Zhihan."

An An Zhiyan stepped on the ground and moved the swivel chair closer to another computer, playing a video of An Zhihan singing while others were recording.

Then they heard Su Jinli say, "He's really mean," after An Zhihan sarcastically commented about his brother.

An Zhiyan suppressed a smile and replayed Su Jinli's serious expression five times before pointing to the screen and asking Jiang Pingqiu, "Don't you think he's quite interesting?"

"Um, it seems that Second Young Master also likes him."

"An Zhihan is a face-con." (Note: Kinda like bro-con or sis-con, but for the face instead of the sibling)

After watching the videos for a while, An Zhiyan said to Jiang Pingqiu, "By the way, give him a few more shots. He's good-looking and can attract some face-cons to watch the program. It's An Zhihan's first program, so the data shouldn't be too embarrassing."

"Well, okay. Actually, with you here, the ratings can be guaranteed," Jiang Pingqiu nodded and said, "What about the trainee from Boruo Pineapple?"

"It's not easy to invite trainees from this company. The program team can't ignore that child, and it's useless for us to suppress them."

An Ziyi looked at the screen, at the expressionless boy, and didn't know whether he was being favored or abandoned by Boruo Pineapple.

-----

After passing the preliminaries, the contestants would rest for a night and then return the next day to go to the training camp together.

After Su Jinli went out, Hou Yong hugged him.

Hou Yong was not tall, so when he hugged Su Jinli, he looked small and cute.

"Not bad, not bad. Fourth place overall, second place in the men's group," Hou Yong patted Su Jinli's back excitedly, then let go of him and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Hungry." Su Jinli was so hungry like a salted fish.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Hotpot."

The delicious hotpot.

Su Jinli usually ordered beef and lamb, as well as a vegetable plate. He never ordered fish or shrimp balls because he didn't eat fish or seafood.

The only thing he ate was seaweed.

"You will move to the place they arranged for you later for training. I will go buy some daily necessities and essential items for you. You eat first, and I will be back soon," Hou Yong helped Su Jinli order food and then hurriedly left.

This time, Hou Yong was very generous and didn't buy Su Jinli too little. Since Su Jinli would probably stay in the training camp for a while, the money saved on tuition during this period could be spent here.

In addition, the funding was a bit more generous for his first appearance on the show.

After Su Jinli ate for a while, he saw a boy walking towards him and sitting directly in front of him.

He was so surprised that he forgot to chew the food in his mouth.

Seeing Su Jinli's surprised expression, Wu Yu explained, "It's pitiful to eat hotpot alone. I don't want them to put stuffed toys in front of me."

"Oh..." Su Jinli swallowed his food and replied.

Wu Yu called the waiter and ordered what he wanted with a cold expression. He also asked the waiter to bring a mandarin duck hotpot with clear soup on both sides because they needed to sing and record a show later, and couldn't eat spicy food.

So Wu Yu and Su Jinli ate facing each other, each eating their own food.

Wu Yu's body was full of yang energy, but it wasn't as terrifying as the An brothers. Only when he got close, would it be a bit uncomfortable.

Su Jinli tried to adjust his own state and calmed down, treating Wu Yu as an ordinary person.

"Are you familiar with the people from the An family?" Wu Yu suddenly looked at Su Jinli and asked.

Obviously, Wu Yu had also noticed Su Jinli and had noticed that Su Jinli had been sitting with An Zhihan all along.

"No... An Zhihan is just very outgoing."

"I know An Zhihan. It seems like he doesn't have a good personality."

"I don't know."

Wu Yu looked at Su Jinli again and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

"No... no!" Su Jinli answered firmly, but his stutter gave him away.

"Am I very fierce?"

"Not really... I'm just... slow to warm up."

Wu Yu nodded and then said, "I'm two years older than you and I'm twenty this year. You can call me brother."

"Oh..."

"I didn't have any training in the beginning. I learned everything in the past two years."

"Wow, really? I think you're super amazing!"

Wu Yu chewed his food, looked up at Su Jinli, and noticed that his admiration seemed genuine. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I actually think you're more amazing than me."

"No, there are many things that I don't know. Today was just lucky that they played a song that I could dance to, otherwise, I would have been finished."

"When we get to the training camp, we should be in the same dormitory," Wu Yu said, bringing up other things.

"What?"

"Dormitories are divided according to rankings. I'm first, you're second. An Zhihan will also be in our dormitory. He's fourth in the men's group."

Su Jinli's eyes widened.

Can he still survive in this training camp?
