Any talent show will have CPs.

It's inevitable.

And according to Jiang Ye's estimate, after the show airs, even if her popularity is not in the debut spot, it will definitely be in the top tier.

Rather than being bound to all sorts of CPs by the program team or other trainees who want to get screen time, as the show progresses.

It's better for her to choose a top-tier trainee and build a mutually beneficial friendship.

Because of the addition of her and Lin Zui as variables in this life.

Everyone's destiny has changed to some extent since the seat selection.

So, Jiang Ye suspected that the top-tier landscape would definitely change drastically, so the information she knew from her previous life basically ended there.

Among the few people she was currently interested in.

Lin Zui wasn't a bad choice.

But Lin Zui already had a fan base, and this CP might be nipped in the bud by her fans.

So, in Jiang Ye's opinion, Cheng Zhen was a very suitable partner.

And she did seem to be the easiest to fool—no, the easiest to get along with in this show.

After making up her mind, when they returned to the hotel after the recording, Jiang Ye invited Cheng Zhen to be roommates.

Cheng Zhen seemed to be tired from recording, and her thoughts were a bit slow. After hearing Jiang Ye's question, she thought for a long time before asking, "You want to be roommates with me?"

Because it was late at night, all the trainees went back to the hotel to stay, and they would record the dormitory selection segment the next day.

But they had been told in advance that the dormitory selection rules were based on the results of the initial evaluation.

All those who retained their seats would choose first, according to their seat order.

Those in the failure zone would then choose in order, according to the ranking given by the mentors.

The dormitories were divided into single rooms, double rooms, and quad rooms.

There were only five single rooms, theoretically for the top five members.

But Jiang Ye calculated that it would be Cheng Zhen's turn to choose the last double room.

"You're first place."

Cheng Zhen was a little surprised, "Don't you want to live in a single room?"

Actually, it wasn't that Jiang Ye didn't want to live in a single room.

If it were her previous life, Jiang Ye would have chosen a single room without hesitation.

But now it was different.

Jiang Ye remembered the talent show she participated in her previous life.

Her personality back then was not very gregarious, and her relationship with her companymates was not very good, so she was always a lone wolf.

One day, she went to the convenience store alone to buy snacks.

Before entering the convenience store, she suddenly heard someone calling her name from behind the railing, not too far away.

Jiang Ye turned her head to look.

It seemed to be a station sister.

She had a station sister?

The show had only aired two episodes at that time.

Jiang Ye had gone through her footage second by second, and there wasn't much of her.

How could someone notice her?

Jiang Ye was stunned and stopped.

She heard the station sister calling her name with effort, "Jiang Ye! You need to make more friends! Talk more! Let others see you more! Don't be afraid! I'll always be here!"

It was very cold that winter, below zero degrees.

But the convenience store had air conditioning, and it made Jiang Ye's eyes inexplicably sore.

She bought a yogurt and went to pay, and she heard the cashier ask her, "What's wrong? Are you too tired from practicing?"

Jiang Ye was silent for a moment and said, "It's too cold, I'm freezing."

•••

Back to reality.

Jiang Ye smiled and said, "Because I want to learn music theory with you."

Jiang Ye's words were half-true.

She knew that Cheng Zhen had a talent for this.

Plus, since she had established a persona of someone who could create in the initial evaluation, she would also need corresponding works to keep up.

She could do it in her previous life, but she learned a bit of everything, and she was only half-baked.

In this life, starting over, she wanted to supplement her skills.

Jiang Ye asked again, "Or have you already found a roommate?"

Cheng Zhen: "No."

She thought for a moment, as if she felt that there was no harm in sharing a room with the current first place, and said, "Okay, that's decided."

"You choose first tomorrow, remember to choose a room with the best lighting, thank you!"

The next day, when she got up, Jiang Ye chose a color of hair clip for herself.

From this day forward, she had to be careful wherever there were cameras.

To avoid the program team messing up the timeline and editing maliciously, she needed different accessories to help distinguish the timelines.

So, she prepared a bunch of hair clips and hair ties in advance.

So that if this situation happened, fans could quickly determine the specific timeline and clarify for her.

After all the trainees gathered, they chose their dormitories according to yesterday's evaluation results.

The top five, as the first tier, entered the dormitories first.

The other four were still thinking about which single room to choose, whether they should discuss it with each other, when Jiang Ye directly chose a double room.

All the other trainees: "?"

"What's going on?"

"Is this her way of showing off her style as first place?"

"Wow, I kind of want to live with her."

"Me too! I want to know how she trains, I want her to help me."

"You're dreaming, if a big shot like her chooses a double room, it must be because she's made an arrangement with someone!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Tan Meng.

Tan Meng: "…"

Don't look at me!

According to her off-performance ranking, she could only choose a quad room, okay!

Sure enough, in the end, Cheng Zhen happily carried her luggage and checked into Jiang Ye's room.

Everyone showed a look of realization.

Although Jiang Ye had already told her yesterday.

But Tan Meng still felt a sudden sense of abandonment.

Wuu.

Back then, when Jiang Ye first came to the company, she had even disliked this new roommate.

Who would have thought it would be like this now.

Lin Zui patted Tan Meng on the shoulder.

Tan Meng immediately put away her wistful expression, "I know what you want to say, I don't need comfort."

Lin Zui: "..."

Lin Zui: "I just wanted to remind you, when it's our turn to choose rooms, be careful not to get in the way."

Tan Meng: "…"

Jiang Ye sat down in the dormitory she had chosen.

It has to be said that you could tell that this year's Chasing Light Girls program team was really poor, just from the dormitories.

She had just taken a look at the single rooms, they were just ordinary dormitory level, not even as good as the quad rooms in her company.

But it was fine, she had lived in all sorts of places, so she wasn't very picky.

But Jiang Ye thought that Cheng Zhen wouldn't be used to it.

Unexpectedly, after she looked around the dormitory, she seemed very satisfied, "So this is what it's like to live in a dormitory."

Jiang Ye: "…"

She could tell.

The other trainees were here to participate in a talent show battle royale.

This one was really here to experience life.

After everyone had checked in, the dormitory manager came over and briefly explained the dormitory rules.

"We will give you a re-evaluation task in three days."

"Now, you have one hour, we're going to collect your phones."

"Those who want to text or call their families, hurry up."

This was also an annual routine.

But those who actually handed in their phones honestly were in the minority.

Jiang Ye had prepared her old phone in advance, ready to hand it in.

Actually, most of the time, the dormitory manager would turn a blind eye.

But this year, it was said that they would be checking luggage and dormitories more strictly to ensure the trainees' best state and avoid external interference.

So, after the dormitory manager left, Jiang Ye had to find a place to hide her phone in the dormitory.

Cheng Zhen watched her busy around the dorm, "What are you looking for?"

Jiang Ye: "Looking for a place to hide my phone."

"You wouldn't really hand it in, would you?"

"I will."

Cheng Zhen said, "But I have more than one phone."

"That's why you have to hide it."

Jiang Ye said, "I heard rumors that the dormitory manager might check our luggage and dormitories this year."

"I only have this one, what if they find it?"

"Will they check very strictly?"

Cheng Zhen's tone was a bit panicked, "What do I do then?"

She said, pulling open her suitcase.

The inner compartment was stuffed full of ten phones.

Jiang Ye: "…"

Is the dormitory manager here?

I'm the first to report my roommate!
