All the trainees in the venue were boiling over, they kept cheering.
"Wow—"
"Quick, quick, take it! If you don't take it, I'll take it!"
"I'm so jealous, Jiang Ye actually gave someone a rose!"
Even Mentor Yang Jingjing couldn't help but joke, "If I were looked at by such a handsome Jiang Ye, even I would be a bit moved. Why don't you just accept it?"
The trainee was so embarrassed by the cheers from everyone around her that her face turned red, after a long time, she carefully reached out and took the rose.
Jiang Ye was quite oblivious.
She finished her performance, stood up, and suddenly smiled brightly.
It was still the same face, but once she left the stage, her aura seemed to change back to the girl idol Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye bowed to the audience, took her hat, and returned to her stage.
"Stop, stop, stay away from me."
As soon as she came over, she saw Cheng Zhen covering her face, taking a deep breath, "I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you."
Oh my god, she had been living with Jiang Ye day and night, she was already used to that face, but why did she suddenly look like a different person when she danced the boy group dance.
She was so charming, so alluring, and so handsome, it blew her little girl heart away.
"Hmm."
Jiang Ye thought for a moment and said jokingly, "It's not impossible, you know."
"No way."
Cheng Zhen thought seriously for a moment, "Even if you were a guy, you'd still be the kind of jerk who would give roses to girls on the street, I'm not falling for that."
Jiang Ye: "..."
She didn't do that, she's so wronged.
Lin Zui's emotions did not fluctuate much, she looked her up and down, only curious, "Why did you decide to change your style?"
Jiang Ye bit her hair tie, blinked, "Huh?"
"It's not bad."
Lin Zui said, "I just didn't expect you to be good at this style."
Jiang Ye came wearing this more androgynous outfit today, Lin Zui had expected her to change her style, but she never expected her to dance a boy group dance.
And the boy group dance she chose required a very high level of muscle control, even in male idol covers, there were few good ones.
But she actually did it, and she did it beautifully.
Even Lin Zui couldn't help but think, if she were the one performing, could she achieve the same effect?
... She didn't seem confident enough.
How did Jiang Ye practice, did she really only have two years of trainee experience?
Jiang Ye tied up her hair that had come loose from dancing, hugged her hat, and smiled, "Because we're missing members for Jiang Ye 48."
Jiang Ye had already noticed the fan-made Jiang Ye 48 persona.
During the initial evaluation stage, it was Little Butterfly Jiang Ye.
During the theme song stage, it was the powerful C-position Jiang Ye.
During the first performance, it was the Yandere Jiang Ye.
During the second performance, it was the Jiang Ye who was a martial arts expert.
Besides the stage, as long as she changed her look each time she appeared in the main episode, fans would create a different persona for her.
To avoid being tied to and exploited by other CPs, fans even used her different personas to create the Narcissus CP.
When Jiang Ye saw these strange fan-made settings, she thought it was quite interesting.
This was what she wanted everyone to see.
Jiang Ye was never a fixed image.
She was like a kaleidoscope, every turn revealed a different, magical scene.
As an idol, she wanted to always bring different surprises to her fans, she had all the looks her fans liked.
She wasn't a fixed mathematical formula, she was the ever-changing, magical variable in the mathematical formula.
"If I have the chance, I will definitely challenge more different possibilities."

After a few more performances, the host returned to the stage.
"Now, all the trainees' performances are over."
"Then the last one, it's time for our traditional New Year's Eve gala segment."
A trainee in the audience immediately said, "Don't get sentimental, I don't want to cry on New Year's Eve."
"Who said I was going to be sentimental!"
The host immediately waved her hand and laughed, "We're not doing that."
"The last program is a group sing-along."
As soon as she finished speaking, the lights on the stage dimmed.
Only the lights in the audience seats lit up.
The music started.
Everyone recognized the first note of the melody.
It was their theme song.
"Shouldn't we be singing "Unforgettable Tonight" at this time?"
"The Spring Festival Gala sings "Unforgettable Tonight", this isn't the Spring Festival Gala."
"The Chasing Light Girls special Spring Festival Gala, of course, we're singing the Chasing Light Girls theme song, it's such a cliché."
The girls were obviously quite disdainful.
But when the first line of the chorus sounded, they all started singing without exception.
They had listened to this theme song day and night when they first started practicing.
Then, they listened to it dozens of times a day when they were filming the MV.
Later, they heard it during the ranking announcements, or when they were recording daily videos.
It was practically ingrained in their DNA.
They looked up at the lights, singing and waving their hands.
In a few days, they would be facing the second ranking announcement, and they would have to say goodbye to another group of trainees.
But everything that happened here was real and beautiful.
Jiang Ye felt that even after a long, long time, if she met the trainees from the show again.
Even if they were not very familiar, they hadn't worked together on stage, and they hadn't recorded any materials together, but as long as they hummed this song, they would immediately react, ah, we were on the same show.
It was our unique youth memories.
It was also something that could be called sentimentality.
•••
One of the things Chasing Light Girls did very well was that besides the main episodes, they would release different materials almost every day.
Dorm life, or practice room footage, or interviews with the trainees, in short, they could guarantee that fans could see their favorite idols every day, and they could also cultivate a sense of loyalty among fans.
However, starting from New Year's Eve, the program team seemed to have gone on vacation, they didn't release any materials for three days.
Fans from all the groups were starving under the official Weibo, frantically demanding that the program team release videos, but they didn't get any response.
Then, on the third day, the program team suddenly released a special extended version of the "Chasing Light Girls New Year's Eve Gala", a full two hours long.
Fans who were going crazy missing their favorite idols immediately excitedly clicked in.
Those who missed Jiang Ye the most were naturally her fans.
As a top player, her fans had the highest loyalty, and their desire to see her was the strongest.
And the last time they saw her perform was during that live stream.
Everyone knew what happened during that live stream, although her friends comforted her at the end of the live stream, and she seemed to be in a better mood, fans still could not help but worry about whether she was doing well after that, whether she was doing okay on the show.
So, Jiang Ye's fans clicked in one by one, full of anxiety, afraid to see a lonely Jiang Ye quietly hiding in the corner during the New Year's Eve gala.
They eventually came out as screaming chickens.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Ye's boy group dance quickly went viral on the homepage, setting off a wave of screams.
【Ahhhhhhhh, OMG, daughter, this is so handsome!】
【Damn, damn, damn, I got the real melon!】
【Jiang Ye is so good at flirting with girls, I'm completely bowing down to Jiang Jie and singing "Conquer".】
【No way, baby, you're only eighteen this year! You can't be so seductive! (Mom fans are heartbroken)!】
【OMG, OMG, who else is calling her daughter today!! Husband, it's husband, ahhhh!!!】
