Chapter 25

Jin Li thought to herself, young people are really energetic.

As a carp spirit who doesn't know how many years she has lived, she thinks everything in the human world is quite fresh.

Gu Cheng replied: "Senior Pear, our rehearsals are all going smoothly. What about you? Is your rehearsal going smoothly?"

Jin Li nodded and answered seriously: "It's going quite smoothly. The efficiency of the program team in making props is much faster than I imagined."

Gu Cheng pondered and asked: "I heard that Senior Pear’s stage is purely singing?"

Jin Li raised her eyebrows slightly and said meaningfully: "Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Lian Baozhi just said it in the corridor; how did everyone know?"

Gu Cheng blinked, pretending not to hear the edge in her words, and asked: "Senior, do you have confidence?"

Jin Li reached out, wanting to pat Gu Cheng’s shoulder, but suddenly found the distance was a bit far and couldn't reach it.

Just as she was about to walk closer, Gu Cheng cooperated and leaned down, tilting his shoulder over.

Jin Li’s eyebrows curved, and she patted his shoulder lightly.

"Gu Cheng," this was the first time she had read his name completely, and she said calmly: "I never fight a battle I'm not prepared for."

Gu Cheng: "But you were in the gym before, even your breath—"

Jin Li suddenly squeezed his shoulder hard and interrupted with a smile: "That was just a small mistake of mine; I have already made up for it now."

"Alright." She ended the topic early, "Don't just talk about my business, talk about yours. Don't worry, I just look young, but I have experienced more things than you. This little thing is nothing."

After chatting for only a few minutes, Jin Li was called away by the staff to go to the accommodation provided by the program team.

The official recording is tomorrow, and the program team refuses to let other personnel go out, including those like Jin Li who only record for one episode. Everyone stays together, and the confidentiality work is done well.

But this kind of confidentiality is only done well for the outside world; it is not so rigorous on the inside.

She met up with Sui Lingfang.

Because of Jin Li’s health, Sui Lingfang negotiated with the program team several times, and the program team finally agreed to let her in.

It was really that the photo of Jin Li vomiting blood was a bit scary; in such a large recording occasion, no one wanted any mistakes.

Jin Li communicated with Sui Lingfang about the spread of this matter, and Sui Lingfang sneered, "I knew Lian Baozhi wouldn't be so kind; she deliberately pointed it out in the corridor!"

She was actually a bit worried about Jin Li’s stage, but now that things have come to this, what's the use of worrying? It's better to give the artist enough confidence.

"She deliberately chose singing and dancing, wanting netizens to compare your performance with hers and use you as a stepping stone, but she didn't know that we also had this idea. Who uses whom as a knife is not certain yet!"

Sui Lingfang and Jin Li’s dorms were next to each other. She was afraid that Jin Li would have stage anxiety, so she went over to accompany her at night.

When she was leading He Yixuan before, He Yixuan had stage anxiety.

But when she came to Jin Li’s room, she realized she was overthinking.

Jin Li was not anxious at all. No, if desperate problem-solving could also be seen as a manifestation of anxiety, then she was probably very anxious now.

An hour passed.

Two hours passed.

Three hours passed... Sui Lingfang couldn't help but say: "Jin Li, do you still want to continue solving problems?"

Jin Li put down the pen in her hand, turned her neck and wrists, and looked at the time, "It's only ten o'clock in the evening, still early. I just finished the physics paper, and I'll solve the math paper for another hour before going to sleep."

She said considerately: "Sister Fang, if you are tired, you can go back to rest first; you don't need to accompany me."

Sister Fang twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking that if I don't watch you, I'm worried you will solve problems until you go crazy.

A "problem dog" who studies hard is really a bit scary.

She shook her head: "It's okay, I still have some work to deal with, and now is not the time for me to sleep."

In fact, celebrities rarely have regular schedules, and staying up late is the norm, but Jin Li’s body is special, so it's best not to stay up late, so she has been sleeping early and waking up early recently.

Today she couldn't go to Mazu to ask for some divine power, so she could only rely on solving problems to support tomorrow’s stage.

If it were purely recording the stage, Jin Li wouldn't be so worried.

But I heard that in addition to recording the stage, she also has to stay in the mentor seat, and might be cued to express her opinions.

And according to the recording time of a variety show, even normal mentors can't stand it, let alone someone like her.

If it weren't for the fact that her body couldn't stay up late, Jin Li would have wanted to solve problems all night!

Time flew by, and it was the next day.

Sui Lingfang met up with Jin Li and found that Jin Li was wearing a jade pendant around her neck, and the pattern on it seemed to be Mazu, and she was speechless for a while.

It's over, what should I do if my artist is addicted to worshipping gods?

Sui Lingfang said euphemistically: "Why don't you not wear this pendant? It doesn't match your clothes."

Jin Li shook her head immediately and said cautiously: "It can bring me good luck."

The official recording time of the show is nine o'clock in the morning.

There are hundreds of students, divided into 12 programs, plus the time occupied by the theme dance. If you watch all the student stages, it will inevitably make many people tired.

So the method adopted by the program team is for mentors to perform in between to ignite the atmosphere and blow up the field.

According to the arrangement of the program team, mentor + partner is one stage, and the mentor also performs a stage alone.

Jin Li was lucky and was placed in the first one to go on stage. This field was to blow up the opening.

Sui Lingfang only knew the arrangement of the program team when she arrived at the scene, and her heart sank.

She didn't think about anything else, only that the first appearance would face a lot of pressure, and Jin Li’s song was not a high-energy song, so she was afraid that it wouldn't mobilize the atmosphere of the scene.

If Jin Li collapses due to too much pressure... Sui Lingfang looked at Jin Li, and her irritable mood suddenly calmed down.

While waiting in the backstage, Jin Li didn't move her body, but was desperately solving problems, very steady.

Sui Lingfang suddenly felt that her previous thoughts were quite funny.

High pressure at the opening?

Jin Li has survived while working and studying, so what is she afraid of?

Can this pressure be as scary as doing a set of Huanggang secret papers on the spot?

A few minutes later, the headset Jin Li was wearing received a reminder. She put away the test paper and walked steadily to the elevator on the other side.

"Next, let us welcome the mentor partner—Jin Li!"

"Ahhh!"

"Jin Li! Jin Li! Jin Li!"

"Ahhh, Jin Li, I love you!"

Jin Li walked out with a smile, waving to everyone to greet them, and cute small dimples appeared on both sides of her cheeks.

The female students shouted: "I'm going to get drunk in your dimples!"

Jin Li didn't wear a very youthful and lively pleated skirt, but wore a fresh and elegant pure white dress, her hair braided into a fishbone braid and tucked behind her head, with a lily of the valley flower tucked at the connection.

Her makeup was light, only a layer of light pink blush, which immediately pulled away the gap with the youthful and beautiful girl group makeup of the students, looking gentle and atmospheric.

But the sweet girl nature remained unchanged.

Jin Li just smiled lightly, and every frame and every second was just right in the comfortable area, making people look at it and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

She sat in front of the piano, fingers played a few notes at will, a smooth glissando sounded, and Jin Li nodded to the side.

The accompaniment cut in immediately, and the melodious piano sound followed closely behind.
