Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 472 - Bring Down Group F


Chapter 472: Bring Down Group F

It was very much like Mr. Yun Xiao to give such a response.

The next day.

It was yet another gloomy day for Group F. Soon, it would be the end of the road for them. There was going to be another evaluation for a redistribution of groups.

Then, it was the qualifying round. They were likely to be the firsts to be out of the running, and it was all thanks to the culprit, Mr. Yun Xiao.

If they had another mentor, they probably still had the courage to put in a last-ditch effort and fight until the end.

Nevertheless, this mentor took away the last bit of fight in them.

Not to mention, they had girl-to-girl talk with the other trainees in the dorms after practice and the other girls boasted how their mentors were responsible and nice to encourage and cheer them on. Group F had nothing to add to that.

The members of Group F had not had a good night’s sleep, haunted by the injustice and nightmares of elimination. They did not want to be told to pack their bags and leave.

During breakfast, Group F backed out on sitting with their dormmates and sat with each other instead. They could not take another talk about today’s training and compliments of others’ mentors. The agony was too much for their already anguished souls.

After last night’s encounter, Han Yan became a lot closer to Ye Weiyang.

Han Yan was an easy-going and frank character. She took Ye Weiyang to the cafeteria since the latter had not been to the cafeteria yesterday. Han Yan even waited for Ye Weiyang who gave way to everyone else to freshen up before washing up herself.

“Here, Yangyang.” Song Wenye and the rest had been there for a while. She waved for Ye Weiyang and her friend to come over.

The lot exchanged greetings before digging into their meals.

Nothing could stop Song Wenye, the chatterbox was talking. Furious for Ye Weiyang’s sake, she began talking about Mr. Yun Xiao in a hushed tone in case someone else was listening. “What has Mr. Yun Xiao arranged for you today?”

Ye Weiyang shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Song Wenye’s blood pressure would rise at the thought of Mr. Yun Xiao. Standing up for her friend, she bitterly commented, “Don’t tell me it’s going to be another day of free activity. No offense, but Mr. Yun Xiao is way out of line. No one would go this far. Why act like a know-it-all and put other people’s careers on the line?”

Behind her, Mr. Yun Xiao was treading slowly with a serving tray in hand.

Sitting opposite her, Liu Qianyu tipped her the wink.

Tong Kejun secretly gave her a kick in the leg under the table.

Looking rather awkward, Ye Weiyang was tempted to remind Song Wenye. Her face turned red as she broke out in cold sweat.

Song Wenye looked at them strangely while proceeding with her rant. “What are you doing? Am I wrong? He’s only pretending to know all the answers and hamstringing the trainees. This person is not to be called a mentor. You might be afraid of him, but I don’t…”

“Hello, Mr. Yun Xiao.” Ye Weiyang stood up abruptly, effectively interrupting Song Wenye from finishing her sentence. She embarrassedly gazed at the person in front of her, speechlessly.

The rest politely got on their feet and greeted the mentor.

Song Wenye was the only person who glanced at Shen Xi and scoffed. Still, she stood up unwillingly and greeted apathetically after Ji Jingyan nudged her. Song Wenye used her actions to demonstrate her indignation.

Shen Xi nodded at them in greeting and gave no reaction to Song Wenye’s taunts. She brushed past them aloofly.

With eyes sparkling fury, Song Wenye clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. What was with that attitude?!

Shen Xi had walked off a distance, and by the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Song Wenye looking daggers at her. She sighed helplessly to herself.

Song Wenye could never change her habit of sticking up against injustice!

“Mr. Yun Xiao.” Gu Yang called out to Mr. Yun Xiao a short distance away.

Shen Xi looked over and noticed the table for six near the window. However, Gu Yang was on his own. She approached him and nodded before taking a seat.

Unable to enjoy his breakfast, Gu Yang had to ask. “Mr. Yun Xiao, what do you have in store for the students today?”

Shen Xi replied, “Dance.”

Gu Yang could choke on his food.

Responsible for the groups’ coordination, Gu Yang was in charge of communicating with the mentors. It was straightforward with the mentors except for Mr. Yun Xiao who was a pain in the neck. “I have quite a bit of time in my hands today so I can help you plan the day out.”

He had said it as clearly and subtly as best he could. Gu Yang hoped the other party could read between the lines and understand where he was coming from.

“Thank you.” Shen Xi answered before unhurriedly eating her breakfast.

Believing that Mr. Yun Xiao got the picture, Gu Yang could breathe a sigh of relief. He would be stumped if today had the same arrangement as yesterday.

“Sorry to trouble you when I’m not around,” Shen Xi added.

Gu Yang emotionally welled up to hear a complete sentence from Mr. Yun Xiao. He nodded. “Don’t worry, Mr. Yun Xiao. I’m glad to be of any help.”

No further conversation was held after the initial exchange.

“Mr. Yun Xiao, Mr. Gu Yang.” Su Muyan brought his breakfast over and sat across from Shen Xi. He pretended to show concern. “Mr. Yun Xiao, what’s your arrangement for the group today? Are you still going to be watching the music video?”

It was clear he took a jab at Shen Xi.

Shen Xi entertained his question for a change. She calmly responded, “Dance.”

Su Muyan smiled without saying a word. Yet again, he was stumped for words. Su Muyan smirked inside, wondering when Mr. Yun Xiao was going to let up with all the pretense.

Soon, the other mentors arrived one after another. They were most intrigued by Mr. Yun Xiao. Of course, their intention was not to wait for Mr. Yun Xiao to make a fool of himself, but they were interested to know what he would be up to today.

The production crew had chatted with them separately, requesting that they help out and look after Group F if Mr. Yun Xiao had nothing planned for today.

It was practice time after breakfast.

The floor where the studios were located had a lift on each end of the corridor. Some of the imprudent trainees from other groups would intentionally take the lift near Group F’s studio and walk past their studio to get a good laugh out of Group F and Mr. Yun Xiao.

The weakest trainees, paired with the weakest mentor, stood no chance against them in the next evaluation! They did not even have to put in the effort. Even God was on their side!

The happiest among the trainees were Group D and C. They did not have to worry about others outshining and forcing them out of their groups. They prayed and wished Mr. Yun Xiao would keep it up and bring down Group F along with him.
