After Transmigrating Into a Male Idol Talent Show

Chapter 12 - Do all top students have such careful planning and wit?

The dormitories were a chaotic mess, and everyone instantly woke up, rushing to claim the bathroom and hurriedly wash up.

Lan Zhixin, with his messy hair, exclaimed, "Oh no, where's my toothbrush!"

Beside him, Nan Xiao turned his head and noticed him squeezing something very familiar. "How are you using my facial cleanser... forget it, we'll talk later."

Next door, Song Yiran, who was frantically styling his hair in front of the mirror, suddenly jumped, "Hey buddy, watch where you step! These slippers cost me two months' salary!"

Meng Yixin, who was brushing his teeth, took two steps back apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll let you step on me later. I got these boots for 20 bucks during last year's Singles' Day sale on Taobao. You can step on one and throw away the other."

Toothpaste foam and facial cleanser bubbles flew everywhere as four people crowded into the seven to eight square meter bathroom, filling it with the energy of the living.

The people from Class C were on the same floor as Lan Zhixin and his classmates from Class B. When they saw Qin Lu passing by the door, their eyes widened in astonishment —

Not only was he well-dressed, but his hair, unlike theirs, wasn't either messy from staying up late or greasy. Instead, it was fluffy and clean. Perhaps it was due to being a few years younger and in peak physical condition, but not only did he not have dark circles under his eyes, he also looked very refreshed.

Help, Qin Lu not only didn't look like one of them, a group of refugees, but he also seemed more energetic than yesterday!

He smiled faintly when his eyes met Lan Zhixin's incredulous gaze. "Morning?"

Lan Zhixin forgot that he hadn't washed off his facial cleanser yet, and his face turned green. At the same time, he received an immediate mockery from Song Yiran.

Nan Xiao, with a deadpan face, said friendly, "Morning." In order to save time, he spoke quickly as if he were rapping, "How did you manage to get ready so quickly? It seems like the aura of meticulous planning and wit of the top students, right?"

Qin Lu blinked and nodded, "Yes, you're right."

Time was running out. Qin Lu didn't choose to leave on his own but patiently waited for Su Qinglan and Lan Zhixin to be "ready enough" before they all sped up towards Studio No. 3.

Along the way, they could see many trainees rushing out of their rooms to join the crowd, and when they crossed the square in front of the dormitory building, the scene looked especially like a temporary assembly during military training.

By the time they arrived at the studio, Cui Zhihao, the producer, was already standing on the stage, and the minute hand was pointing to fifteen, just in time. They sighed with relief. They couldn't help but chuckle at each other's disheveled appearance.

Nan Xiao patted Qin Lu on the shoulder, and with a deadpan face, gave him a thumbs up. "Thanks for helping keep time, otherwise, Lan Zhixin wouldn't have made it even if he swallowed two more mouthfuls of facial cleanser."

Lan Zhixin's face was still a bit green as he recalled the taste from earlier, and he couldn't help but kick Nan Xiao. "Shut up."

Nan Xiao kicked back without hesitation. "You can say that when you're using your own facial cleanser."

Qin Lu smiled and shook his head, and as the doors of the venue closed right on time after fifteen minutes, he looked towards Cui Zhihao on the stage. There was a huge screen behind him, and he smiled as he raised the microphone, "Very good, everyone is on time. This is the first rule you need to abide by in your future careers, don't be late."

The exhausted trainees didn't expect the surprise early wake-up was for this, and upon hearing this somewhat "educational" statement, they felt disheartened.

"Let's get straight to the point. Let's take a look at the theme song demonstration video."

The lights dimmed, and the big screen slowly lit up.

There were about five days left.

Qin Lu watched the video on the big screen confidently. He would definitely seize this first opportunity for exposure.
