Chapter 09

Xiao Hu's hunch was indeed very accurate. The tag #Ye Zexi really eats rich second-generation meal# had been rising without falling for a whole day in the hot search.

It had gained more and more attention from the netizens, and Ye Zexi's

emoticons had spread more and more widely, and they had become a popular term.

If one were to randomly click on a Weibo, the following were all netizens had been saying——

"What are you eating today?"

"The rich second generation meal!"

Even some netizens who didn't know exactly what happened, after someone explained the whole thing to them, they started to use the phrase as their joke, and the emoticons were all over the internet.

In less than a day, Ye Zexi's phrase "rich second generation meal" had completely made its national debut.

Even the program crew didn't expect that Ye Zexi would become popular with such a sentence.

However, obviously the program team was not prepared to let go of such a good publicity opportunity. They took the opportunity to announce the time for the second live show ticket pre-sale. The official Weibo wanted to follow the hot search trend. Naturally, they used Ye Zexi's freshly released emoticons..

Fans and viewers were buying it, and the comment area was all in the state of strolling.

"Hahahaha Official account, you are really nice!"

"Bought! I'm going to the live show to support Ye Zexi!"

"+1, I think we will use the emoji to make a banner; it will look quite cool!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha! You are all

anti-fans!"

"What nonsense? We are all his real fans!"

"Hahahaha Ye Zexi is really funny, handsome and talented, I'm a passerby

who wants to be a fan!"

"Come if you want to be a fan! Sister, don't hesitate! Ye Zexi definitely won't let you down!"

In just one day, Ye Zexi became the most talked-about contestant in "Time Idol".

News on the Internet also spread among the staff. For a while, many people looked at Ye Zexi's with different eyes, mixed with unabashed envy, and even a little flattering.

The contestants were even more envious.

Ye Zexi's face was made to be in the entertainment industry. Not to mention that he has a vocal that is being praised by Shan Zeyu, in which it had successfully grabbed all the attention from them!

The contestants admired Ye Zexi's family background, some were envious of Ye Zexi's popularity, and some people said that Ye Zexi is already so rich yet still training so hard.

"Maybe this is the talent and willingness to work hard!"

After hearing this, the other person couldn't help but reply: "Are you sure he is working hard?"

The man was taken aback for a

moment, and subconsciously asked: "What do you mean?"

Looking along the line of sight of his teammate, he saw Ye Zexi who was sitting on the sofa.

Ye Zexi was wearing simple light-colored casual clothes, half leaning on the sofa. His pink hair was a bit long, and it was pulled back at random by a headband, showing only half of the profile of his face was soft and beautiful. At a glance, it was difficult to withdraw their stares, even though they were of the same sex.

But what attracted more attention was not Ye Zexi's looks, but the pile of snacks in front of Ye Zexi at this moment, and the sound of melon seeds that could hardly be ignored.

All the contestants avoided high fat and high sugar food. Every day, they either had a diet meal or a muscle-building meal, but only Ye Zexi had—the big fish, big meat snack, cola, milk tea and melon seeds.

But this was not the most important thing. In the same practice room, in front of Ye Zexi, there were other contestants who were dripping in sweat.

Looking at Ye Zexi on the sofa again, he almost lay flat on the sofa!

In contrast, it seems that Ye Zexi can no longer be described as being relaxed.

He was here for training, if it weren't for the tag on his shirt to identify him as a contestant, other contestants would have begun to wonder if Ye Zexi was a mentor watching his trainees from being lazy.

While watching the contestants train, he would eat melon seeds, the corners of his mouth would turn up as he nodded, just like the audience nodded and cheered when they saw their favorite show.

Someone couldn't help being curious, and ran to ask Jiang Ran, who was in the same group as Ye Zexi: "Your team training is already done? Does Ye Zexi not train for his own segment?"

Jiang Ran's expression became extremely complicated at this moment.

Today's team training for their team had ended, and now it was time for individual training.

Although Jiang Ran was the captain of the team, he had no right to control what the team members did in their individual training.

What was more, Ye Zexi also cooperated very well during group training.

He never arrived late, and never left early. Although every training session he was not showing his best, Ye Zexi would not slack off either.

However, Jiang Ran still felt weird in his heart.

Jiang Ran didn't understand why before, but today he saw Ye Zexi who was eating melon seeds on the sofa, Jiang Ran suddenly realized that he finally knew what was weird——

Ye Zexi was really too relaxed!

His relaxed attitude had made Jiang Ran doubt whether "Time Idol" was an indoor reality show or a boy group audition.

Ye Zexi was indeed present every time he trained.

But every time they had a break during training, Ye Zexi would use every minute of the break time either sitting in the corner watching anime, sitting on the floor reading novels, or simply leaning against the wall

to watch their training for his own entertainment.

But if he were to say that Ye Zexi is not serious, it really was not true.

Jiang Ran had thought of picking on the other's flaws, but whether it was Ye Zexi's intonation or teamwork, he couldn't find any flaws.

Even when mentor Shan Zeyu came to inspect their training progress today, he did not say that Ye Zexi was not good, but instead pointed out some problems with Jiang Ran and the other three teammates.

What does this mean?

This shows that even if Ye Zexi read novels and watched anime in the training room every day, and did not rehearse seriously, he could sing much better than them!

This is an extremely terrifying talent.

Ye Zexi has been hiding himself before, maybe he is afraid that if he shows himself, it would make them aware of his talent!

While Jiang Ran's heart was in a terrifying state, he couldn't help but briefly recall the situation of the last performance.

On the day of the rehearsal, Ye Zexi was not able to sing in the tune yet, how could he perform perfectly in the formal performance?

The more he thought about it, the more frightening it was!

Jiang Ran's face became more and more ugly.

It took a long time for Jiang Ran to answer, and the person next to him repeated the question again.

Jiang Ran's heart trembled, and he suddenly returned to his senses: "How do I know? If you want to know, you go and ask."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ran quickly left the training room.

No, he does not care if Ye Zexi was a rich second-generation or a very talented person, he cannot lose to Ye Zexi, absolutely can not!

He must go back to practice now!

"What's the matter with Jiang Ran?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Who knows?"

....

And Ye Zexi didn't notice all the commotions just behind him at all. The cushions on the sofa in the training room were soft, and the air conditioner was at the right temperature. Ye Zexi's limbs relaxed and he was very comfortable.

When He Jinyun came to the training room, what he saw was Ye Zexi's lazy appearance.

The other contestants in the training room were all training attentively. Ye Zexi watched other players training with great interest.

He Jinyun couldn't help but curve up the corner of his mouth.

Noting the arrival of He Jinyun, other contestants stopped practicing and came over to say hello to He Jinyun: "Hello, Mentor He!"

The dancing in front of him suddenly stopped, and Ye Zexi's eyes flashed regretfully. Following the crowd, he saw He Jinyun at the door.

Ye Zexi put down the melon seeds in his hand, sat up slightly, and smiled at He Jinyun as a greeting.

He Jinyun waved his hands to the people who looked at him, smiled and said: "You continue to train, don't stop because of me, I'm here to talk to Ye Zexi."

Talk to Ye Zexi?

What will you two be talking about?

There was curiosity in everyone's eyes.

Is it possible that Film Emperor He finally couldn't stand Ye Zexi's sloppy appearance and came to scold him?

The staff turned on the speaker again, but silently lowered the sound.

The contestants started rehearsing again, but they couldn't hold back their gossip gaze and stared at the two figures in the mirror.

Ye Zexi naturally heard He Jinyun's sentence of wanting to talk to him.

Before He Jinyun sat down next to him, Ye Zexi said first, "I'm really not interested!"

He Jinyun was taken aback for a moment, then his deep eyes curved up, and the corners of his mouth lifted: "I haven't said it yet, you know what I want to say."

Ye Zexi said calmly: "It's always good to guard against it."

He Jinyun did not seem to be discouraged, instead he sat down directly next to Ye Zexi.

Ye Zexi was very considerate, and moved a little aside.

He Jinyun looked at the dazzling array of snacks on the table in front of him, and then at Ye Zexi, who was still eating melon seeds next to him. It was in sharp contrast with the other contestants who were in front of him.

"Are you well prepared for the show?" He Jinyun couldn't help but ask more.

Ye Zexi: "Yeah."

A light and fluttering word, very confident.

He Jinyun looked amused, but he reminded him: "It's always good to prepare a few different performances, unless you are still confident to take the first place this time."

Ye Zexi put down the melon seeds in his hand, took a sip of the warm water prepared by the staff, his ruddy lips were wet, he looked at He Jinyun's eyes and blinked, seemingly with water marks, looking innocent and honest: "I don't want to be number one."

He Jinyun: "...."

Sure enough, this was what Ye Zexi would say.

After a while, He Jinyun let out a low laugh in his throat: "Okay, I have something to do, I'll leave."

After speaking, He Jinyun got up and

left the training room.

After he left, he looked at

Ye Zexi more inquiringly.

Ye Zexi raised the corner of his mouth, showing a smile, his eyes were clear as he looked at everyone.

The people who met Ye Zexi's eyes looked like they had been stepped on their tails, and looked away in a panic.

After a while, the training room music sounded again, and the rehearsal continued.

Ye Zexi picked up the sunflower seeds, on a rare note, he started to think about He Jinyun's phrase "prepare a few different performances" just now.

One second later, Ye Zexi left the matter behind without thinking about it.

It wasn't until the day of the rehearsal that Ye Zexi finally understood the meaning of He Jinyun's words---the game system has changed.
