Chapter 53 Childhood Sweethearts
"Welcome to the audience to watch this episode of Tomorrow's Star on time. I am the host Lu Yu!"
A female host who looked to be in her early forties stood on the stage of the studio and greeted the audience with a smile, who immediately responded with applause.
When the applause died down, Lu Yu continued, "The National Primary School Student Beast Taming Competition is in full swing. This year's competition can be said to be full of talents. There are geniuses who were highly favored before the competition, and there are also dark horses who have repeatedly defeated the strong with the weak in the competition.
Today, as the second round of competition has just ended, the program team invited these promising children to the scene to have a face-to-face exchange with the audience.
Next, please give a round of applause to welcome the children! "
As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, the whole audience burst into applause even more enthusiastic than before.
The talented youngsters, led by Ji Chen, lined up in a long line and walked onto the stage of Tomorrow's Star.
There were a lot of people coming this time, eight in total.
There are three girls and five boys, six of whom are students from the four schools in the capital.
Only Chu Yi and a boy named Li Ming came from schools outside the capital.
Li Ming's school is called Liangshan Village Primary School, and this year it entered the national competition for the first time.
Before the game, everyone thought they were there to give away points and would be eliminated silently in the first round.
However, no one could have imagined that they would defeat strong opponents one after another, break into the top 32 of the national competition, and become the biggest dark horse of this tournament.
It’s not that Chu Yi’s performance was not good enough, it’s just that the miracle created by Liangshan Village Primary School was too amazing.
Because before this year, Liangshan Village Primary School had never even made it into the top 32 in the province.
Defeating the strong with the weak and turning the impossible into possible are always the favorite scripts of netizens.
Liangshan Village Primary School, this dark horse, vividly explains to the world what it means to work hard to change one's destiny.
They don't have the luck of Ji Chen, nor the talent of Chu Yi, nor the exaggeratedly luxurious beast taming resources of the four schools in the capital.
It was with his own efforts and his stubborn determination to never admit defeat that he managed to win two games with scores of 7 to 6, and made it into the top 32 despite no one being optimistic about him.
It can be said that if Ji Chen was the traffic king of the national competition, the discussion heat aroused by Liangshan Village Primary School would definitely be in the top three, and not necessarily third.
As luck would have it, their next enemy was Chu Yi's defeated opponent - Boyuan Primary School.
Whoever wins will break the school's history and become one of the top 16 in the national competition.
If it were ten days ago, netizens would definitely be overwhelmingly optimistic about Boyuan Primary School.
But now everything is uncertain.
Whether you should work hard to change your fate or just show off your wealth, the answer will be revealed in two days.
As the school that has been talked about the most recently, Li Ming, as the captain of Liangshan Village Primary School, of course also received an invitation to "Star of Tomorrow".
This program originally focused on interviewing beast taming talents in primary and secondary schools. It was usually the top-rated program, and became extremely popular during the national competition.
So Li Ming was very excited when he was still backstage.
He thought that if he could attract the attention of wealthy people on the show, perhaps he could get more sponsorship for his alma mater.
In this way, even after this class graduates, the younger students will have sufficient resources to grow.
The imagination is full, but the reality is very skinny.
Chu Yi and Li Ming, two children with no background and common people, were placed at the outermost positions from the beginning of the show.
The camera was always focused on the host Lu Yu and Ji Chen who was closest to her, and almost no shots were given to the two people at the edge.
However, Li Ming did not understand what camera shots or center positions were. He naively thought that as long as he was on the stage, people would be able to see him.
So he acted very seriously from beginning to end, even though Lu Yu did not mention their Liangshan Village Primary School at all. When Lu Yu and Ji Chen were chatting and laughing, Li Ming also laughed along.
Although he didn't understand what was so funny about skiing in the Alps, meeting the Minotaur in the secret realm of Olympus, and giving a speech at the Ivy League.
But he saw everyone was laughing, so he started laughing too.
Only Chu Yi didn't laugh.
Because he knew the camera wasn't pointed at him.
Besides, he had never been to any of these places, so he had no idea where the joke was.
This went on for twenty minutes, and Ji Chen and Fang Yize finally finished talking about their colorful extracurricular life.
Lu Yu also shifted the topic to Lin Siyao.
Lin Siyao looked very unhappy. Her already cold temperament made her expression even more cold and frosty, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Lu Yu asked with a smile on his face: "Si Yao, I heard that you have been training in the North Sea Secret Realm before. Can you tell us what you have seen and heard?"
"There's nothing much to say." Lin Siyao's voice was still pleasant, but it carried a kind of coldness that kept people at a distance.
"But there are many stories between Chu Yi and me. Do you want to hear them?"
In an instant, the ice and snow melted and all things came back to life.
Chu Yi, who had been sitting there for more than 20 minutes, just opened a bottle of Hahawa mineral water, pursed his lips and took a sip to moisten his throat.
Hearing Lin Siyao's words, Ji Chen, who had transformed into a little green dragon, almost sprayed water out of his nose.
Everyone who heard this widened their eyes. They never expected that Lin Siyao actually had a story with Chu Yi.
Who is Lin Siyao?
If Ji Chen is the favored son of heaven, Lin Siyao and Ye Jinghuang are definitely qualified to compete for the title of favored daughter of heaven.
Her master is the Queen of the North Sea, Xu Hongyi, one of the very few top beastmasters who owns emperor-level pets. She is also one of the managers of the North Sea Secret Realm and has a very transcendent status.
As Xu Hongyi's last disciple, Lin Siyao's talent is no less than Xu Hongyi's when he was young.
Even though Ji Chen is extremely popular now, Lin Siyao is the only two trump cards of Wolong Academy.
But like another ace, Lin Siyao is too low-key, so his traffic is far less than Ji Chen.
But even so, netizens still know how amazing her talent is, and she has a huge number of loyal fans.
And it is really exciting that such a proud girl actually took the initiative to tell everyone that she and Chu Yi have a story.
I don’t know about others, but Ye Jinghuang’s left face is full of gossip, and his right face is full of melon-eating.
Looking at her excited expression, if Lu Yu didn't speak anymore, she would want to take over the host's job and continue asking questions.
Chu Yi, who was mentioned by Lin Siyao, finally got the favor of the camera at this moment. The cameras were all aimed at him, and also included Li Ming who was sitting next to him.
"Chu Yi, Si Yao said that there is another story between you and me, is this true?"
Lu Yu performed her traditional skills, but this time she did not add the phrase “I don’t believe it”.
Chu Yi had already wiped the water off his nose and answered seriously, "Sister Siyao and I did know each other when we were very young. I was only two years old and she had just turned five."
"Damn, it turns out they are childhood sweethearts." Ye Jinghuang grinned and shouted gkd in his heart.
