    Chapter 8 Attention

    The entrance to the gymnasium opens at eight o'clock every day. The next morning, there are already crowds of people outside, and there is a long queue. Xi Nian parked his car on the side of the road. When he entered through the players' tunnel, he took off his sunglasses and looked at the huge crowd.At a glance, I found that most of them were fans of Su Ge.

    The tickets for the second knockout round were almost sold out by them from the beginning of the pre-sale. If the organizer hadn't secretly distributed some internal tickets, other fans might not have been able to squeeze in.

    The eliminated contestants have the right to watch the game. Although Su Ge has been eliminated, he can still sit in the viewing area set aside by the organizer for the artists and continue to watch the game. Occasionally taking a photo is a guaranteed profit. In other words, Xi Nian will still see him today.he.

    The sky in the morning was leaden gray, and dark clouds were gathering overhead, as if it was going to rain. Some fans deliberately waited in a special passage in order to meet idols by chance. A girl with double ponytails was accidentally squeezed to the back of the queue by the crowd.The uniformed security guards were busy maintaining order, and the pushing was inevitably not serious. In a hurry, the girl was pushed by someone, and she screamed and fell backwards due to inertia. She was about to fall off the road when a sudden sound came from her arm.A strong force pulled her back.

    "ah!"

    Li Xixi hadn't recovered from the shock just now. When she realized that someone was holding her arm, she hurriedly used the other person's strength to stabilize her body. Before she could see the face of the person clearly, she hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I couldn't stand firm just now, thank you..."

    Before she finished speaking, her voice stopped abruptly when she saw the man wearing sunglasses in front of her.

    As a qualified star-chasing girl, you not only need to know everything about idols, but you also have to see and listen to all directions. As the main force of the Su Ge fan support group, Li Xixi has taken this advantage to the extreme.Even though Xi Nian was wearing sunglasses, he recognized him at a glance with his amazing recognition ability.

    It's normal, after all, I just tore him apart yesterday...

    Li Xixi wanted to explode on the spot, mother, why should it be so embarrassing?

    Xi Nian didn't like Su Ge, nor did he have a good impression of his fans. He glanced at his wrist that was tightly grasped by the girl, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Let go."

    "Huh? Oh oh oh."

    Li Xixi lowered her head when she heard the words, and then realized that she was still holding Xi Nian's arm. She reacted and quickly retracted her hand as if she was electrocuted. She was extremely embarrassed, her face was red, and she was in a state of panic. However, before she could think of what to say, sheWhat, the man had already turned around and walked straight towards the special passage on the side. His back quickly disappeared behind the revolving door, his indifference was a bit inhumane.

    Li Xixi was stunned for a moment and sniffed unconsciously, but felt a faint medicinal smell in the air.

    Her companion not far away was waving to her through the crowd: "Xixi! Come here quickly, get ready to check in!"

    "Ah? I'll come right away!"

    Li Xixi came back to her senses after hearing the words, responded quickly, bent down to pick up the blue paper bag that had accidentally fallen on the ground, patted the dust on it distressedly, and then trotted back into the team.

    The companion glanced at her: "What did you do just now? I've been looking for you for a long time."

    Li Xixi said vaguely: "I was squeezed out just now, and I almost fell to pieces. Fortunately, the gift box for Su Ge was not broken."

    The companion smiled and pushed her: "This time we are in the front row. Maybe we can give him a gift with our own hands."

    "Hehe, I hope so too."

    Although it was still early, some people had already arrived in the backstage lounge. Several third- and fourth-tier artists were scattered in their respective seats, waiting for the makeup artist to put on their makeup. When Xi Nian walked in with her bag on her back, they all subconsciously looked at her.As he came over, all kinds of unexplained glances gathered together, making people feel like a ray of light on their backs.

    Xi Nian turned a blind eye to this. He casually pulled up a chair and sat down. The way he folded his arms didn't look like a good thing. In addition, not all male artists were as sinister and gossipy as Su Ge and loved to stir up trouble. Therefore, the atmosphereIt was relatively peaceful.

    Makeup artist Sister Jian saw him and came over carrying a box: "You have a morning session, so I'll do your makeup first."

    Sister Jian is an external makeup artist employed by the company, and Xi Nian knows her well. We can chat with her occasionally, but we are not familiar with each other. Hearing this, he stopped scrolling through the video on his mobile phone, paused and said, "Thank you."

    Sister Jian smiled and let out a sigh: "Why are you so polite? I'm going out for a few days for training. When you come back, you will imitate others' aloof persona, little brat."

    Her eldest son is about to start a family and start a business. He is only in his early twenties, so he is no longer a brat.

    After finishing speaking, Sister Jian added: "Perform well in today's game. Just let them do whatever the outside world says. Among the seniors who are popular in the entertainment industry now, who hasn't been ripped off when they were young? Didn't they all survive step by step?.”

    Xi Nian was looking at the competition list and responded vaguely. The player he was fighting this time was Chen Sihao, who was ranked 16th. The opponent was a typical young boy, with thin arms and legs, and a very weak body. The risk factor was completely negligible.Excluding.

    Artists are not professional athletes to begin with, and their overall level cannot be said to be high. The Star Games are held more to gain the attention of the audience. Whether it is archery or swimming, it is actually like children's play house. It is false to say that it is difficult.

    But this time many people were waiting to see Xi Nian's joke, expecting him to lose.

    At ten o'clock in the morning, when the competition was about to start, Sun Mingcai arrived late after yawning. He saw that Xi Nian naturally had no good expression, and adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Today the organizer is going to record a promotional video for you, who?You can't be absent, and you can't leave early after the game. The contract says in black and white that you must cooperate with the work. If something goes wrong, you can solve it yourself."

    He didn't speak clearly, and didn't say what time the record would start, and was trying to make things worse in secret, but Xi Nian kept taking Sun Ming's words as fart, and ignored them at all. He picked up his coat from the bench, put it on, and walked straight to the center of the field.

    The host of the East District was warming up, and his sweet voice reached everyone's ears through the microphone. The camera skipped all the sponsors, coaches and judges in turn, and finally fell on the contestants.

    "...The last competition was extremely exciting, and I believe this one will be even better. I wish all the players good results. Let's wait and see. The competition officially begins!"

    Chen Sihao is about 1.68 meters tall, but he is smaller than Xi Nian in terms of height, not to mention his aura. He wonders if he has learned the lesson of Su Ge's cold face, and he did not get close to him, but just faced him.He smiled politely and distantly.

    Xi Nian just took off the gauze on his hands backstage and put on a pair of black half-finger sheaths to cover the injury tightly.From the perspective of the system, this person is an extremely contradictory person. He is very strong and has high self-esteem. He uses all kinds of tricks to climb up, but he doesn't like others to pity him.

    The front row of the auditorium is the viewing area for the contestants. Sisters from each station came prepared with cameras on their shoulders, squeezing forward to seize the advantageous terrain. Lu Xingzhe just snuck out of the hospital today, with gauze still wrapped around his legs.He found a connection to get a staff ID card and directly occupied the middle position with the best view.

    Most of the fans are girls, so a man sneaks in out of the blue, which seems a bit strange.

    A girl next to him saw the professional camera in Lu Xingzhe's hand and the injury on his leg, so she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Are you here to chase stars too?"

    Lu Xingzhe was originally looking for an angle to take a picture of Xi Nian. Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at the girl who was speaking, then looked away and gave a perfunctory hum.

    The girl said with emotion: "It's so inspiring that you still chase stars even though you're injured. I'm so happy to be your idol."

    Lu Xingzhe: "..."

    It was okay if the other party didn't say anything, but when Lu Xingzhe said it, he also reacted. He was still lame, so why he came all the way to see Xi Nian was simply incomprehensible.

    Thinking of this, he unconsciously put down the camera in his hand and prepared to sit back in his seat.

    The host on the field was explaining: "...Contestant No. 9 Xi Nian is like a dark horse who broke out halfway. He successfully won the ranking in the last period. I don't know if he can continue to maintain the standard in this competition..."

    Lu Xingzhe heard the girl next to him whispering to his companions.

    "Hey, what level do you maintain? Isn't it just a matter of luck and defeating Su Ge once? What's so great about it?"

    "He hasn't won the championship yet, but Xi Nian's tail is about to rise to the sky. Let's see how he fishes in troubled waters this time."

    As the girl spoke, she suddenly noticed that Lu Xingzhe seemed to be leaving. Her eyes lit up and she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "You don't want to take the photo anymore? Can you give me the position?"

    When Lu Xingzhe heard this, he glanced at her, then unexpectedly turned around and walked back to the middle position, raised his camera and pointed it at the center of the field, and refused without looking back: "No."

    "..."

    Xi Nian and Chen Sihao were ready. Under the referee's instructions, they walked to their respective target positions. They still shot a total of twelve arrows each, divided into four groups.

    Su Ge was sitting in the viewing area. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the camera specially cut to give him a close-up. When that handsome face with a smile was projected on the big screen, screams were heard one after another around him, and the sound was almost overwhelming.Look at the top bleachers.

    "Suge! Sugar! You are always the best!"

    "We'll support you forever!!"

    "Susu flies boldly, and the grid will always be with you!"

    The fans only felt that Su Ge was wronged because he was injured accidentally and lost the game, so they deliberately raised their voices and shook the support banners in their hands to support him. The cheers came and went, and they stopped after a long time.

    Chen Sihao, a third- and fourth-tier transparent person, only expected to earn a few shots at the end of this game. When he saw this, his smiling face froze, and he muttered in his heart: Damn it, Sugar is already eliminated, so why are you here to steal the limelight? It's disgusting.

    Xi Nian's hands are no longer suitable for strenuous exercise. His ligaments were already damaged, and he was burned by that insidious villain Su Ge. Just now, he only tentatively moved his wrist, and a sharp sting suddenly hit him.It rises, like a pinprick.

    His expression was calm, but he frowned unconsciously.

    A small group of people gathered in the auditorium at some point, not many, only about a dozen. They did not have uniform support attire, and even the light signs in their hands were colorful. They shouted to him from a distance.Voice.

    "Come on Xi Nian! Come on Xi Nian! We are all optimistic about you!"

    "You will definitely win this time too!!"

    "We will always support you, come on!!!!"

    Compared with Su Ge's huge fan base, their presence was too weak. Even their voices had to be distinguished carefully to hear them. Xi Nian seemed to be aware of it and looked back.

    In the commotion, his eyes passed through the obstacles and finally landed on them accurately.

    Those fans became even happier when they saw this, and put their hands to their mouths and shouted: "Xi Nian! Come on, compete, no matter you win or lose, you are the best!!!"

    Xi Nian's fans were few and weak, and they looked really shabby. Meng Qianlin and Yu Fan's fans were next door. They sighed when they saw this, and it was inevitable that they felt pity for them. Grid fans were famous for being mad dogs that bite people, and some of the top celebrities in the entertainment industryAlmost torn all over.

    Meng Qianlin and Yu Fan are both popular idols with huge fan bases. Even if the grid fans are torn apart, they can still fight. Xi Nian is a little transparent. If he loses the game today and is eliminated, it will be weird if he doesn't get torn out of the circle.

    The game had begun, and the moment the countdown started timing, Xi Nian neatly opened his bow, nocked the arrow, and then pulled the bow string. However, just as he exerted force, a sharp pain hit his wrist, causing the arrow tip to aim slightly off target.Moved a few millimeters.

    Xi Nian's hand was trembling slightly uncontrollably, but he suppressed it again. The big screen happened to be pointed at him. People with sharp eyes had noticed this detail and whispered among themselves.

    "Why are Xi Nian's hands shaking? Did I see it wrong?"

    "You read that right, it did shake a bit just now, and his bowstring wasn't even fully drawn."

    "Is he too nervous? Or is he scared?"

    Others didn't know the reason, but Lu Xingzhe knew that he looked at the man in the center of the venue with a complicated expression, his eyes moved down, and finally fell on the man's black-sheathed hand.

    Seeing this, the few fans of Xi Nian looked worried and a little uneasy. They wanted to cheer him up, but were afraid of disturbing him. The fans of Meng Qianlin's family sighed and whispered: "Oh, Xi Nian is 80%Going to be eliminated.”

    "It's so pitiful. Fans of the Sugar family will probably use the topic to tear him apart again."

    "Who says it isn't?"

    "..."

    Ignoring the comments around him, Xi Nian took a breath and closed his eyes. He briefly relaxed his right hand for two seconds, then raised his hand to fully draw the bow string and aimed it at the target again. He was more focused than ever because he was doing this.The movement caused everyone to hold their breath——

    "Whoosh!"

    Under the gaze of everyone in the audience, I saw a black arrow shooting towards the target quickly with a sound of breaking through the air. The white tail feathers were still trembling slightly. However, before everyone could concentrate to count the rings, the sound of the announcement had already preceded them.sounded.

    "Xi Nian No. 9, the first arrow in the first group, ten rings."

    The author has something to say:

    Xi Nian: disabled hand.

    Lu Xingzhe: Lame leg.

    # Physically disabled and strong-minded duo#
