CH 13

But soon, the people present suddenly remembered, didn’t Su Wantong belong to Zhongheng Entertainment before?

As is well known, Zhongheng Entertainment has previously been involved in some unethical practices towards her. It’s unclear whether she will target the trainees of her former company because of this.

Even the trainees on the stage were a little apprehensive at this moment, except for Shen Bu, of course.

“Wow, the guy on the right looks really good, and he has a good temperament.”

“Well, he’s so tall, and he looks so handsome in this shirt.”

“Oh no, oh no, I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do here. I feel like my aura has been completely crushed…”

Wan Tong vaguely heard the voices of trainees talking behind her. Instantly, she felt proud in her heart, knowing that Shen Bu’s abilities were also among the best!

The four people on stage have all chosen the B-level difficulty, and they all seem full of confidence.

Wan Tong had previously heard from Shen Bu that the other three trainees had been training for over three years and had strong abilities.

They chose a song by Zhuang Yu, adapted the dance, and added rap to perform it as a group.

Wan Tong didn’t dare to focus solely on Shen Bu, but he was too dazzling. Whether it was dancing or rapping, he could especially move people, and the other three almost became his backdrop.

Seeing the collarbone and shoulders exposed by Shen Bu’s loose dance shirt, Wan Tong even felt like going up to help him adjust it.

One minute passed, the performance ended, and Shen Bu lowered his head slightly, then stood back on the far right, looking meek and silent.

Zhuang Yu and the other mentors were all highly impressed and gave this group a high evaluation, especially singling out Shen Bu with a pleasantly surprised look.

Shen Bu calmly nodded and thanked them, and his gaze finally rested on Wan Tong’s face.

Wan Tong cleared her throat and didn’t look at him, simply saying two words, “Very good.”

She felt like Shen Bu had been looking at her all along, so she inexplicably felt a bit nervous, but she deliberately ignored him, so as not to get too excited and be caught by the camera.

“That’s it? I saw you were quite fascinated just now,” Zhuang Yu laughed and said.

“Yeah, I thought you had someone you were particularly fond of,” dance teacher Jessica chimed in with a teasing tone.

Among the mentors, Wan Tong had the longest debut time but was also the youngest. Moreover, she had a good personality and was well-liked, so she became the team’s favorite and was often teased.

Wan Tong’s small face was serious as she earnestly redirected the conversation, “I did see someone who has impressed me so far in both dancing and singing.”

The mentors all laughed, and Zhuang Yu collected their opinions and began announcing the grade evaluation for this group.

As expected, the overall evaluation for this group was very high, with two members receiving A grades: Shen Bu and team captain Chen Jiexiu, while the other two received B grades.

Wan Tong was also very satisfied with the result, especially when she heard other trainees and mentors praising Shen Bu. She couldn’t contain the smile on her face, and her lips kept curling upwards.

Her face was already outstanding, but because she rarely relaxes like this since her debut, in the hearts of many fans, she has always had the image of a fairy who doesn’t belong to the mortal world. Now, seeing her face filled with a gentle smile, many people secretly sighed that with this face, Su Wantong would probably become even more popular.

Moreover, among all these hormone-filled trainees, Su Wantong’s delicate and beautiful appearance indeed attracts the most attention, even the camera frequently focuses on her.

The four trainees slowly left the stage, with Shen Bu walking at the back. Su Wan Tong’s gaze followed his figure.

As soon as he stepped into the backstage, Shen Bu turned around and looked back.

Without thinking, Wan Tong smiled at him, though she couldn’t see his exact expression, she felt that his eyes lit up a lot.

——

The recording continued until dawn, and only after the theme song MV was released could Su Wantong leave the training camp.

She had wanted to go and see how Shen Bu was doing, but the occasion didn’t allow it. She thought about giving him a call, but then remembered that his phone had been collected.

The next morning, when Wan Tong saw the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Aunt Lin, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten to remind her about Shen Bu’s absence during this period.

“Auntie, please don’t prepare a portion for A’Bu in the future.”

Auntie Lin was stunned for a moment and hesitantly spoke, “Ah? Tongtong doesn’t want A’Bu anymore?”

“Cough, cough, cough…” Wan Tong almost choked on water. She put down the cup and corrected seriously, “Auntie, when did I say I don’t want him? He’s gone to work.”

“Oh, that’s good. I thought you were breaking up with him. A’Bu is a good person, and it’s good for Tongtong to be with him.” Aunt Lin turned around and went back to the kitchen, muttering to herself.

Upon hearing that, Wan Tong was stunned again. When did she become A’Bu’s girlfriend?

But she was also too lazy to explain.

Wan Tong went to the training camp again. The mentor can attend classes according to their own schedule, but she was afraid that Shen Bu would not be accustomed to it, so she wanted to go and check on him.

When she arrived, students from every class were practicing the theme song’s dance in the rehearsal room with great enthusiasm. She went from one class to another, explaining and teaching them.

When she was in Class B, Wan Tong saw the two angels who left a deep impression on her, Yan Luo and Zhou Di. She really liked their voices and even wanted to collaborate with them.

“Teacher, someone is peeking.” Yan Luo smiled and pointed to the door, where students from Class A wearing pink T-shirts were indeed peeking.

When Wan Tong looked over, she even saw Shen Bu’s face!

“It’s okay, anyway, I’ll also go over to teach later, so let’s just go together.” She squinted and smiled, waving to the practicing students at the door.

Shen Bu stared straight at Wan Tong, and when he saw Yan Luo and Zhou Di standing close to her, his eyes darkened instantly.

Soon, the eleven students from Class A came quietly to Wan Tong’s front.

A group of young and handsome trainees, all over 1.8 meters tall, made Wan Tong feel pressured. She coughed and pressed her palm down, giving a serious order, “Sit down and don’t make the teacher look up to you. This teacher is old and can’t bend her neck.”

The trainees burst into laughter at her expression and sat cross-legged on the floor.

“Teacher, we want to hear your new song.” Someone shouted, and the others joined in.

Wan Tong sat at the piano and asked with a smile, “Which one do you want to sing?”

Many popular dramas this summer collaborated with Wan Tong on their music, so various genres of her songs became very popular.

Although Wan Tong didn’t have the intention of buying promotions to promote herself, she still frequently topped the trending charts.

“We can sing them all!”

The trainees who came here were about the same age as Wan Tong, so they got along well.

“Then, I’ll play and you sing.” Wan Tong smiled cunningly.

“Eh~”

“I’ll just choose someone to sing a couple of lines, otherwise, the program crew might think I’m doing a concert.”

Wan Tong intended for Shen Bu to stand out, so she chose him and gave a slight nod to Yan Luo to cover it up.

When Shen Bu stood up and heard Yan Luo’s name, he saw Wan Tong’s beaming smile towards Yan Luo, and his expression grew colder.

However, he was known for his aloofness and poker face, so everyone was used to it.

Only Yan Luo trembled when he caught Shen Bu’s glance. Was this guy too cold? Was he not afraid of being criticized for lacking variety show skills later?

Wan Tong had a relaxed class and even interacted with Shen Bu. However, she felt that he seemed tired and not in a good mood, so she was a little worried.

After class, Wan Tong found an opportunity to stop him in a corridor without cameras and took him to a corner of the stairs.

“A’Bu, are you still okay? Are you tired?” She looked up at Shen Bu, not realizing that she was still tightly holding onto his arm.

“I’m used to it, not tired.” Shen Bu was succinct, and her concerned question seemed to have relieved him of the tension he had been holding for a few days.

He leaned back slightly against the wall, and his other hand lightly touched her dark circles that she couldn’t hide under her eyes. “The competition is in a few days. Are you ready?”

“Ah, you remembered.” Wan Tong looked surprised. “Do you think I will lose with my skills?”

Shen Bu’s lips curved into a smile that was not quite a smile. “No, you’re amazing.”

Hearing his tone of praise for a child, Wan Tong’s lips twitched. “As for you, remember what I said. Don’t reveal all your talents at once. Otherwise, if you have any flaws later, the fans won’t buy it. You have to progress gradually, and your brilliance will gradually shine.”

However, he was in Class A, which already attracted most people’s attention, and coupled with his outstanding appearance, he probably couldn’t keep a low profile.

Wan Tong kept talking while Shen Bu occasionally responded with an “Mm.” In her eyes, his appearance was particularly obedient and well-behaved, making her feel an urge to pet him.

“Good, wait until I finish the competition before coming to see you. During this time, get along well with the other trainees.” Her voice softened, and her large eyes were misty, as if he was her whole world.

Shen Bu’s heart trembled a few times, and his voice became hoarse when he spoke, “Okay.”

——

During the days when the boss was absent, Wan Tong always felt like something was missing. However, she was particularly busy preparing for her two songs in the “Great Singer” competition. She often spent the whole day in the studio and then soaked in the recording studio at home, trying to perfect her songs.

At this time, Zhongheng Entertainment signed a new singer, who also gained some of Wan Tong’s popularity.

The new singer’s name was Wang Luoluo, who had a sweet appearance and a style and tone very similar to Wan Tong’s. Originally, Wang Luoluo was already somewhat famous online, and her fans called her “Little Wan Tong.” Now that she was signed by Zhongheng Entertainment and vigorously promoted, the most important thing was that her agent was Wei Qianxun.

Although they are promoting her as “Little Wantong,” in fact, Wang Luoluo is already 24 years old this year, only one year younger than Wantong.

At first, Wan Tong’s fans had a rift with Zhongheng Entertainment. Now that they see them promoting “Little Wantong,” they are even more upset and are not interested in Wang Luoluo’s new digital album. They caused quite a stir in her Weibo comments.

However, it is undeniable that Wang Luoluo is gaining popularity under the influence of Wan Tong. She has gradually entered the public’s view.

Regarding this, although Wan Tong sneered at it, she didn’t want her fans to cause trouble, so she reassured them on Weibo.

Su Wantong: I am irreplaceable, and it’s enough for you to know that.

This sentence is a bit arrogant, but it is in line with the original host’s character.
