Chapter 219: Choose

"Next, Trainee Shen Lou."

When Shen Lou stepped forward, everyone expected that he’d probably choose He Yan. After all, these two are the closest to each other so it’ll be no wonder that they’ll pair up.

Shen Lou is also considering that. He looked at He Yan to ask him in the eye but the latter unexpectedly shook his head a bit and signalled Xing Ren. Shen Lou instantly knew that the two already planned to be together so he just nodded and looked for any choices left.

Actually, he almost didn’t care who he was with. He just thinks that whoever he’ll be with, he will just do his best to practice and perform better. It’s just that what happened earlier made him change his mind.

Shen Lou thought that what if the chosen MVP will have the chance to pick again like this one? If there’s a huge chance to be chosen, then he has to pick someone strong like him so they can fight with other groups.

And who will it be? Among the remaining S Class, only He Yan, Lu Nanxiao and Han Suwen were left. There are still strong trainees from A Class but Shen Lou didn’t want to lessen the probability of winning.

He also has to consider the partner that he’ll choose if fitted to any three themes with him. Rapport and rivalry is highly possible but romance is way too tricky. He cannot be like that with He Yan, right?

Shen Lou felt goosebumps and just chose who’ s the safest for now— Han Suwen.

After that, the remaining trainees also chose their duos, with He Yan and Xing Ren, Lu Nanxiao with Han Baiwei and so on, totalling 10 pairs for this new round.

Meanwhile, a virtual button floated in front of each pair. "The 3R’s will be decided randomly from the machine. Please click the button."

Random? Now this added the trickiest part of the challenge. The trainees looked above the three options and their eyes flinched when they looked at the only word that they found hard to accept.

Romance? How could something like that even be an option? Even when they tried to add this genre to their song it had already brought them enough trauma from the devil woman! They could still remember how she roasted Lu Nanxiao’s group mercilessly, calling them greasy like some perverts! Besides, this was even worse because as they know about the new challenge, they have to act on what theme that appoints to them.

The safest option is clearly rapport because they can talk about brotherhood with their partner or even with rivalry, that’s much better than romance! Some trainees looked at their possible partners and when their eyes met, they quickly looked away as their faces turned pale.

"!!!"

Heck! Shivers went down their spine as they imagined what they looked like. And this is even a live performance! God! Is the world punishing them?! They could only pray hard that bad luck is not with them today!

Unfortunately, some had their fates turn black today because right when it was Shen Lou and Han Suwen’s turn, the randomizer turned and the word ’Romance’ flashed in front of them.

"..."

"???"

"!!!"

"Shit!"

"Oh my God! W-What the hell?!"

"Fuck!"

Some couldn’t help but curse when they saw the word in front of the two. Shen Lou’s face went white while Han Suwen’s face remained still but the smile that appeared on his lips looked very eerie at this moment.

He Yan’s pupils dilated and he put his hands on his mouth to express his extreme bewilderment. As for others, when they come back to their senses, they quickly purse their lips but the smile on everyone’s face is very obvious, even Qin An has it as he looks at the pair.

These two are the most contrasting trainees in this competition. One with a sharp and fiery like temperament while the other is cunning and blunt. Such personality is paired together with even such a theme, how can it be possible for Shen Lou and Han Suwen?

Anyway, only these two knew the biggest regret that they felt from their entire lives at this moment. Shen Lou wanted to go back in time and so was Han Suwen who just merely thought that if "Romance’ will be put in them, he’ll tease Shen Lou.

What just a slap on his face when it really came true!

"Ahem," Lin Yu clears his throat and signals to the next group to click the buttons.

Starting from their group, those who had bad luck and had the same theme as the two had faces turning pale and black.

Romance! Why is this thing even here?! Even if they knew that sooner or later, they will really see this genre again but why at this point?! It’s not that unacceptable if it was a group performance because they had been there, but really at this round?!

On the contrary to some duos, those who had the other two themes sigh in relief and smile.

Fortunately!

"Rapport?" Nan Moyi’s brow raised when he saw the choice for him and Qin An. This might be too easy for them.

If it’s brotherhood, he’s already friends with the young man. Although they are not that close, they can definitely be closer in this round.

Nan Moyi is feeling quite confident that they could do it together with confidence but he didn’t know the slight complex on Qin An’s heart.

It’s not that Qin An felt this word is too distant for him. After such time with everyone, he became open and gained friends. What made him slightly hesitate was when he saw the lyrics of the song that they have to perform together.

This definitely is not just about the two having mutual understanding and friendship but something that’s much deeper.

A kind of friendship that’s not just about being with each other through all the happy and hard times... but rather a kind of brotherhood through life and death.

And this is something that he doesn’t have... right? This was Qin An’s question for himself, yet why did his heart suddenly ache?
