RBCT Chapter 206 Do Not Touch
Chapter 206 Do Not Touch
After a frenzy on stage, Jiang Bai and the others stepped down, and the fourth group took the stage to perform.
Back to Nayoung's team's rest area.
The moment Jiang Bai pushed open the door, it was as if welcoming a triumphant hero; the room erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.
"Angelica dahurica! It's amazing!"
"That rendition of 'Gently Tell You' was absolutely stunning! I was practically melting backstage listening to it!"
Congratulations on advancing! No doubt about it!
The trainees from the first two groups, who had either advanced or been eliminated but hadn't left, regardless of gender, all gathered around, their eyes filled with admiration.
However, their expressions instantly became interesting when their gazes fell on Xiao Ai, the short-haired girl following behind Jiang Bai, who was grinning foolishly and still immersed in joy.
surprise.
stunned.
There was also a hint of unbelievable envy, a sour feeling.
"Xiao Ai? You advanced too?"
One of the eliminated contestants couldn't help but ask, "Did Sister Na use her double selection right? On you?"
Xiao Ai nodded vigorously, holding up her advancement card like a nouveau riche who had won the lottery:
"Yes! Sister Na said I sang well! She kept me on!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Sings well?
We've all been in the same lounge for so long, everyone knows each other's capabilities.
Although Xiao Ai's skill level is good, in this kind of situation where a master is leading three others, it is definitely not to the point where the mentor has to use the "protector card".
So, why did Na-young, the mentor, use her authority?
I thought about it.
Soon, everyone understood.
All eyes were once again focused on Jiang Bai, their gazes becoming meaningful.
"Understood."
"It must be because Goddess Bai Zhi sang so well just now that she made Sister Na happy!"
"When Sister Na was in a good mood, she waved her hand and saved her teammates from elimination too!"
"This isn't just about advancing through skill; it's practically 'one person attains enlightenment, and all their relatives and friends benefit'!"
"Xiao Ai, your luck is incredible! Is this what they call 'winning without effort'?"
Ignoring the whispers of the crowd, Xiao Ai proudly took Jiang Bai's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Yeah! I was just lucky!"
"Being paired with my goddess is the greatest blessing I can have!"
"And the goddess just hugged me! She smells so good!"
boom--!
This statement was like a spark thrown into a powder keg.
The crowd, who had been marveling at Xiao Ai's good fortune, suddenly became red-eyed.
Especially those boys, and a few girls who were also completely infatuated with Jiang Bai.
"What?! You hugged him?!"
"Aaaaaah! I want a hug too!"
"Damn it! Why wasn't I paired with the goddess? I wanted to be that lucky charm too!"
"No way! I want to share in the joy too!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the lounge changed drastically.
A group of people, like a pack of hungry wolves seeing fresh meat, spread their arms and surged toward Jiang Bai.
"Little Baizhi! I want a hug!"
"Goddess! Let me touch you!"
"Just one hug! Just one! I need to absorb some good luck!"
Watching this chaotic dance of demons, and the impending wall of people about to pounce on them.
Jiang Bai stood rooted to the spot, his pupils dilating in shock.
Cold sweat instantly soaked the back of the dress.
"No! Don't come any closer!"
He let out a desperate cry in his heart.
If Xiao Ai hugs you, it can be said to be an accident, and you can barely get away with it by calling her a "flat-chested supermodel".
But what if these dozen or so people took turns hugging her...?
Some hugged her waist, some hugged her shoulders, and some even buried their faces in her chest...
Those two hard, muscular pectoral muscles, those broad latissimus dorsi muscles, and those little bells hidden under his skirt...
Wouldn't they find out everything about us?!
"This is going to kill me!"
A hand was about to be placed on his shoulder.
Jiang Bai, quick-witted, took a step back, crossed his arms to protect his chest, and put on a pitiful yet pained expression.
"Ouch......."
Jiang Bai let out a soft exclamation, his brows furrowing slightly:
"Everyone... everyone, please don't push..."
"These clothes of mine... these clothes are borrowed antiques!"
"It's very expensive! And it has needles on it!"
"When Xiao Ai hugged me just now, I think she loosened my buttons, and I almost exposed myself..."
He spoke in a soft, tearful voice:
"If the clothes get damaged, I'll have to pay a lot of money to pay for them..."
"Everyone, please don't touch me, okay?"
This tactic of "feigning weakness and playing the victim" is extremely effective.
The crowd, who had been pouncing like wolves, suddenly slammed on the brakes when they heard the words "exposed," "compensation," and "needle."
One by one, their hands hung in mid-air, stopping awkwardly.
"Oh? It's that serious?"
"I'm so sorry! Goddess, we were too excited!"
"Quickly! Scatter! Don't damage the goddess's battle robes!"
"I'll fight anyone who dares to crowd the goddess!"
In an instant, everyone transformed from "hungry wolves" into "protectors of the flower," automatically creating a safe distance of one meter around Jiang Bai.
After safety.
Jiang Bai found a corner seat and sat down, pretending to straighten his clothes, but actually secretly wiping away cold sweat.
"call......."
"That was close."
"Looks like I can't rely on my charm stats anymore; I'll have to carry a 'Do Not Touch' sign around my neck all the time!"
He didn't run away.
The staff said that after the top five are selected, they will all have to go back to the stage to film some additional scenes.
Jiang Bai casually pulled a bottle of mineral water from his bag, took a sip, and turned his gaze to the broadcast screen on the wall.
At this point, the battle of the fourth group was also coming to an end.
It must be said that no one who has made it this far is weak.
Soon, as the last note faded, Zhao Xier, the "Iron Lung Girl," secured the last spot in Na Ying's group with her explosive rock performance.
With this, the top five of Na Ying's group have been assembled: Jiang Bai (Zhi), Zhao Xier, and three other strong contenders with distinct styles.
The atmosphere in the lounge should have been completely relaxed at this moment, and everyone even started discussing where to have dinner later.
But after waiting for a long time, the expected staff did not come; instead, Na-young came in.
Then, Sister Na burst in, her first words a seasoned veteran's complaint:
"Something's fishy going on. Has that old bastard Wang Dazhong taken the wrong medicine today?"
"After we finished recording, he kept winking at me and then, without saying a word, shoved me backstage, saying he had important plans."
Na-young looked up and saw Jiang Bai and four others sitting in a row eating fruit. She was taken aback.
"Hey, what are you guys still doing here? Aren't you going home? I'll treat you to hot pot after I'm done!"
