After Meng Yao finished her interview, Lin Zui went up as the second-place winner.

This time, the two of them brushed past each other in front of the camera, they didn't even greet each other.

But the host, as if on purpose, asked Lin Zui some very tricky questions.

"Do you feel regretful that you didn't win first place this time?"

"How did you feel when your previous track record was broken?"

"This time, you lost to your former teammate, if you participate again in the future, do you have confidence in surpassing her again?"

Lin Zui: "..."

Lin Zui was always straightforward, she rolled her eyes and retorted directly.

"No regrets, thanks to my teammates for catching me at the finish line."

"I don't feel anything, my teammates comforted me just now, it's no big deal."

"Confidence? Yes, but I hope my teammates can participate with me next year."

In short, she only talked about the present, she didn't want to mention the past.

When Lin Zui finished her interview.

Her four teammates all rushed over and surrounded her, kneading her arms and legs.

Lin Zui couldn't help but laugh, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ye kneaded her shoulders, "We're here to celebrate the birth of our first 5tars medal!"

Cheng Zhen poked her head out and added, "And I'm afraid you'll be sad if you lose."

"I'm not sad."

Lin Zui laughed, very relaxed, "Second place is second place, it's not the first time I've come in second, second place is good too."

She paused and emphasized, "I'm fine now."

When she was about to go back, Jiang Ye was by her side, and she finally answered her previous question, "I think you're doing great now too."

She added, "Both your personal development and the group's development are great."

Jiang Ye hesitated for a moment before she dared to say the second half of her sentence.

She had later learned a little about Lin Zui's previous group.

To put it bluntly, her previous group was relying on her popularity and skills to carry the group.

And Lin Zui was willing to carry them because she wanted to be in a group.

But that group's development really didn't have any future.

In other words, disbanding was a good thing for her at that time, and it was also a kind of relief for Lin Zui.

It was only after she left that group that Lin Zui became who she is today.

"I know."

Lin Zui was silent for a moment before saying, "But sometimes I think, maybe it's because we were standing in different positions, so our perspectives are different, that's why it ended like this."

She paused and asked Jiang Ye directly, "If you were in my situation, what would you do?"

Jiang Ye didn't expect Lin Zui to be so straightforward.

Jiang Ye thought for a moment and said, "First, I wouldn't let my group fall into the same situation you were in."

Jiang Ye: "So, there's no such if."

Lin Zui: "... Just assume there is."

"I'm not sure what position you want me to consider from."

"If you were my former teammate, I don't think there's anything to say. Your group was relying on you to carry it, you can't say that I don't have any ability to gain fans."

"Since that's the case, I'm a flop wherever I go, it doesn't matter, I might as well suck some blood from you."

Lin Zui: "..."

Jiang Ye tilted her head slightly and then said, "But if I were in your position, if I really wanted to keep my group, I would do everything I could to stop her from leaving."

She suddenly became serious, "So, Lin Zui, shouldn't you reflect on whether you're not charming enough?"

Lin Zui: "..."

Although Jiang Ye's words weren't very nice.

But at that moment, she suddenly laughed and said, putting her hands in her pockets, "Okay, I'll reflect."

Although Jiang Ye was joking, she did think of something else.

Maybe if her group had someone like Jiang Ye, they wouldn't have ended up like that.

And the reason why they ended up like that was actually the responsibility of everyone in the group.

Including herself.

Unfortunately.

There are so many disbanded groups with unresolved issues in this world.

And there's only one Jiang Ye.

During this Idol Games, Jiang Ye also saw many familiar faces who had participated in Chasing Light Girls.

Jiang Ye greeted them one by one, and the station sisters took pictures of them and posted them on Weibo as evidence of Jiang Ye flirting with girls.

And finally, when everyone was expecting Jiang Ye to go see someone else, she went to the audience seats.

There was a certain distance between the audience seats and the idol seats, they were separated by a barrier, no one could reach anyone else.

But they could still shout to each other.

Jiang Ye waved to her light sticks and smiled, "You guys worked hard!"

This was also a standard idol performance.

As Jiang Ye finished greeting everyone and was about to leave, a head suddenly popped up from the crowd of fans.

She waved excitedly, "Jiang Ye!! Do you remember me?!"

Jiang Ye recognized her immediately.

It was the little girl who she had persuaded to study hard for the college entrance exam at the fan meeting.

The little girl rushed to the front row of the audience seats and held up her acceptance letter, "Wuwuwu, Jiang Ye!! Look!!! I got into college!"

"You said I should come see you again after I got into college, I promised you!"

"I did it! I got into my dream school!!!"

"Jiang Ye!! Congratulations on your debut!"

"But I still want to ask! Can I like you now?"

Everyone around was looking at her.

But she didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Jiang Ye looked up at her and was surprised.

Although she had persuaded her to study, she didn't really think she would come back to keep her promise, it was just a way to encourage her.

But now, she really felt the tangible power that she, as an idol, could bring to people.

On her journey to achieve her dreams, she was also illuminating the dreams of others.

"Thank you for keeping your promise."

Jiang Ye suddenly smiled, "But you've always been able to like me."

"It's just that I hope to see you, not just liking me, but also liking yourself."

As an idol, Jiang Ye was happy to be considered special.

But she also liked that someone was looking in her direction, working hard for their own dreams, it made her feel like her meaning wasn't just limited to the stage and the camera.

Those who chase their dreams always shine.

No matter where you are or what you do, you'll have your own spotlight in life.

Jiang Ye found a candy from her pocket and threw it to the fan.

"This is a reward for keeping your promise."

"And congratulations on getting into college."

•••

In the next two days of Peace Elite team battles, Jiang Ye continued to maintain her level.

Deng Cheng was beaten badly in the next two rounds.

Jiang Ye even developed a little bit of fun, she liked to kill her, watch her get revived, and then kill her again.

Giving her a little hope, then extinguishing it, it was very cruel.

And during these two days of practice, Jiang Ye also developed her potential in sniper rifles.

Before, she was the king of close combat.

Now, she could take someone's head from 800 meters away.

Deng Cheng was about to break down.

Finally, Lin Zui couldn't take it anymore and said, "Okay, okay."

Jiang Ye: "Is it okay?"

Jiang Ye sighed, "But my aim isn't very good yet, shouldn't I practice a few more times?"

Lin Zui: "..."

In the end, their team won the championship without any suspense.

When it was time for the award ceremony, Cheng Zhen quietly asked the staff, "Can you give me another gold medal?"

"No?"

"Why not?"

"There are only four, why don't you make more?"

After the award ceremony, Cheng Zhen was very frustrated and reported to her teammates, "He said he can't give me another gold medal."

Jiang Ye: "..."

Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh, "Of course not, what are you thinking?"

"Because you don't have one, we're a group of five and we're missing one."

Cheng Zhen puffed out her cheeks and handed her trophy to Shen Zhiyi, "I'll give you the biggest one, so our family will be complete."

Although it's a four-person team battle.

But for her, it means 5tars won.

Shen Zhiyi was slightly stunned.

Shen Zhiyi hugged the trophy and nodded with a touch of emotion, "Okay!"

Confetti flew everywhere.

The Idol Games were about to end.

Tan Meng said with a touch of emotion, "Do you think we'll come again next year?"

Jiang Ye: "We will."

Tan Meng: "What about the year after?"

Jiang Ye: "We'll come."

Lin Zui couldn't help but interrupt, "We'll be disbanded by then, will you still come?"

Jiang Ye: "Why not?"

She said confidently, "I haven't retired, and I haven't switched careers, why not?"

"Yay!"

Cheng Zhen immediately said excitedly, "Then I'll come next year, the year after, and the year after that, as long as the Idol Games is still being held, and as long as I'm still in the industry, I'll keep coming, I can keep playing games!"

She frowned slightly, "But can I still form a team and play games under the name 5tars?"

Jiang Ye: "Maybe."

Jiang Ye: "Or I'll just change it, after all, it's still the five of us. What's that saying, united we stand, divided we fall?"

Tan Meng couldn't help but complain, "But I'm already a star."

Jiang Ye: "... Then it's divided we stand as five fires."

She clasped her hands together, "That way, we have a group name after disbandment, it'll be called 5fire."

Lin Zui nodded, "Hmm, in a couple of years, Zhiyi will practice her gaming skills, maybe I won't bring Cheng Zhen along."

Tan Meng also nodded, "I support that, she's really bad at playing."

Cheng Zhen: "?!"

"No, no."

Shen Zhiyi held up the trophy and smiled, "I'll still be your atmosphere maker."

The broadcast played the exit prompt.

The entire audience was also preparing to leave.

Jiang Ye suddenly turned around and said to the fans in the audience seats, "Can you guys stay a little longer?"

The crowd of fans instantly erupted.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!"

"Of course!"

"Jiang Mei, do you need anything? I'll do anything for you!"

"You don't need to do anything."

Jiang Ye made a gesture of taking a picture with her finger, "I just want to take a picture with you guys."

The fans were stunned, and after a short cheer, they all lined up.

And 5tars stood under the audience seats, Jiang Ye held up her selfie stick and included them and the fans in her phone's viewfinder.

After she took the picture, the colorful light sticks were all gathered together.

But at this moment, it did not matter who you were a fan of, or what kind of fan you were, because you were all there to witness this beautiful moment being captured.

Maybe 5tars will participate in many more Idol Games together in the future.

But this first time was definitely the most special.
