Chapter 399 We Will Eventually Form a Group! 33
(The previous chapter has been added.)
The much-anticipated amusement park trip arrived as scheduled the next day. Xiao He, the little tyrant whom they hadn't seen in a long time, personally came to pick them up in a long luxury car, putting all of them inside.
The people in the car, except for Xiao He, were almost all fully armed, with hats, masks, and sunglasses covering their entire bodies.
Things are different now. To avoid causing unnecessary chaos, it's best to keep things covered up.
After living as a pampered young master for two years, Xiao He's almost-disappeared mysophobia relapsed, and he kept several people at a distance from them even in the car.
Yu Xingli felt an itch to say something, wanting to provoke the situation.
"I have prepared gifts for you."
Wearing disposable gloves, Xiao He handed out their gifts one by one to the appropriate people.
Yu Xingli was actually somewhat touched, but he remained silent, proud and aloof.
"Thank you, my dear Xiao He~"
"Thank you, Xiao He!"
He didn't speak, but others naturally expressed their gratitude. The lively and carefree Cheng Sui'an and Bai Siyi immediately rushed forward. Xiao He was startled and hurriedly cried out, "Zhao Zhao, save me!"
He crouched behind Zhao Zhao, terrified by these two germ-laden people.
Zhao Zhao smiled and shielded him, but in doing so, Cheng Suian took Zhao Zhao away. "Since you've given Zhao Zhao to me, then I'll take her with me."
Cheng Sui'an's words were very childish, and he deliberately used that funny tone, making it impossible for Xiao He to get angry.
He calmly sat up straight and said seriously again, "Aren't you going to open the gifts and take a look?" His tone was somewhat expectant, after all, this time his gifts were carefully selected by him.
So everyone started unpacking the boxes to see the gifts. When Zhao Zhao opened hers, she saw two gift boxes. One of them was a long rectangular box with very old-fashioned pictures on the packaging, which looked like it had a long history.
He opened it with a puzzled look and found that it was a thick, rolled-up piece of paper, the texture of which felt strangely familiar.
As if guided by some strange force, he untied the ancient rope, opened it, and the words "Resurrection Scroll" written in childish handwriting came into view.
"Xiao He!"
Zhao Zhao looked up in shock and met Xiao He's eyes, which held a hint of doubt. His gaze swept over Zhao Zhao's pale face and then slowly moved down to the object in her hand.
Looking at this thing, his expression was even more puzzled than Zhao Zhao's. "What are you holding?"
"this....."
Zhao Zhao panicked, but Xiao He, seeing everyone around him taking out the gifts he had carefully prepared, and Zhao Zhao still hadn't touched them, urged, "Zhao Zhao, aren't you going to open the gift I gave you? I've been preparing it for a long time."
"Huh? Isn't this the gift you gave me?" Zhao Zhao was still in a daze, staring at Xiao He for a long time without coming back to her senses. Xiao He frowned, "Zhao Zhao, what I gave you was a pair of pink gemstone cufflinks, not this piece of paper."
"Hahaha, that's right, how could Xiao He possibly give you a piece of paper?" Yu Xingli laughed, urging Zhao Zhao to look at the gift. None of them paid any attention to the paper, except for Lan Sen, who glanced at it several times.
He was sitting quite close to Zhao Zhao and could clearly see the words "Resurrection Scroll" on it, but he didn't feel flustered.
Zhao Zhao tightened her grip on the paper, but fearing she might damage it, she restrained herself and slowly unwrapped the gift Xiao He had actually prepared, as he eagerly awaited her arrival.
Just as Xiao He said, these are a pair of very beautiful pink gemstone cufflinks, crystal clear and pure.
"I love so much."
Seeing this, Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly curled the corners of his lips. But when he looked up, he saw that Zhao Zhao was just staring at the very old piece of paper. Before he could ask anything, Zhao Zhao's gaze met his eyes again.
"Xiao He, did you put this box in there?"
Zhao Zhao picked up the box containing the "Resurrection Scroll" and asked. Xiao He shook his head, "The only thing I gave you was that pair of cufflinks." He had never seen this box before.
Thinking about the mess in his family, he suspected someone had tampered with the gifts he gave away, and immediately became alert. "Zhao Zhao, was this box and that piece of paper placed with my gift box?"
Zhao Zhao didn't speak. Xiao He reached out his hand, his gaze deep. "What's written on the paper?"
Xiao He looked as if facing a formidable enemy. Zhao Zhao turned the paper over and showed them the words on it.
"The Scroll of Resurrection?"
Someone read it aloud, and Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't anything strange or unusual.
He looked at the paper again and found that both the handwriting and the language were exceptionally childish, as if written by a child. Xiao He couldn't help but compare it with the serial number of his mischievous nephew.
"Sorry, it must have been my kid being naughty. I'll give him a good talking to when I get home."
"Oh, I see. It's alright then." Zhao Zhao said, feigning ease, and then put on the mask she had just loosened to hide her emotions.
This wasn't drawn by Xiao He's child; it was a birthday gift she gave to her second brother, a vampire. Zhao Zhao has a very good memory and has always remembered it.
But how did it get here?
【Zhaozhao, don't worry, someone just misses you.】
"Second brother?"
Zhao Zhao's eyes darted around. "He's the one who brought the things to this world." He said it as a statement, not a question, and then guessed, "Did he come to this world?"
Although it's unknown whether he can actually do it, let's be bold and guess.
Of course not. Aside from a certain lawless individual, no one has ever been able to break through the dimensional barrier of another world and arrive in your new world.
The system's confident words reassured Zhao Zhao. In her mind, 002's laughter echoed again: "However, this resurrection scroll of yours is quite interesting. Keep it with you for now; perhaps... a miracle will happen later."
Miracle......
The resurrection scroll was something I casually drew and wrote in the previous world, and it had no real meaning whatsoever. But in this world, the system is now telling me that a miracle will happen.
This piqued Zhao Zhao's curiosity.
And Asher, his second brother, I wonder if his brother and father are living well after he left.
.......
Xiao He lacked romance, but he had the "power of money." He took them through the VIP lane to enjoy all the rides along the way, allowing them to play without queuing and having a great time.
Although Zhao Zhao didn't particularly like thrilling rides, she decided not to spoil their fun, considering that this might be the last time she accompanied them to the amusement park, and participated in every single one.
On the Ferris wheel, Xiao He sat with him this time, and he took a picture of himself. When Zhao Zhao saw this, she found a photo that Cheng Sui'an had given her a few years ago. The two photos were placed side by side, and the shy, innocent boy and the spirited, smiling teenager formed a strong contrast.
Xiao He looked at him, a rare gentle smile on his face, "Zhao Zhao, I wish you a bright future and all the best."
"You too." Unexpectedly, Xiao He took the initiative to lean in and give him a light hug, which lasted only for a moment before they parted.
Xiao He had severe mysophobia, but friendship ultimately triumphed over it.
The amusement park trip ended with Xiao He taking a group photo with the fully armed group, and then they embarked on their journey home, returning to their respective lives.
Back at the hotel, Lansen discussed their planned trip with the boss, but the boss seemed reluctant, saying that if they could avoid going, they should.
They are a popular boy band with fans everywhere. However, they also have many sasaeng fans (obsessive fans who stalk celebrities). Traveling together presents even more uncertainties. The combined effect of these two factors could be quite terrifying.
If an accident were to occur and any of them were injured, the consequences would be beyond what the company could afford.
"Lansen, you are the captain. I think you should know that we cannot let danger take advantage of a moment of joy."
In the upgraded boss's studio, Shan Le earnestly advised Lan Sen, who sat in front of him with his eyes lowered. Finally, he moved slightly and said, "Okay, we'll listen to the boss and not go."
Lan Sen was feeling a little down. He opened the door and was met with six pairs of expectant eyes outside.
"So, Lansen, has your smart, kind, and talented boss agreed?"
"Say something, I'm so anxious!"
"Lansen, you're smiling so happily, the boss must have agreed, right?"
A cacophony of voices filled his ears, and Lan Sen smiled again. His smile wasn't for any other reason than the sudden feeling of happiness that they were by his side.
He gently patted Bai Siyi's head, who kept leaning closer to his face, and said softly, "Do you really want to know the result?"
"Correct!"
Six voices rang out in unison. Lan Sen looked at the six well-behaved boys in front of him, his eyes softening. "I will give you my answer in three months."
Zhao Zhao was instantly stunned and exclaimed "Ah!" Yu Xingli, who had recovered, pulled Zhao Zhao and said angrily, "He's implying that the boss didn't agree."
Another scream erupted at the scene. Cheng Suian tried to sneak in and argue with Shan Le, but Lan Sen grabbed him by the back of the neck and pulled him back. "Just accept your fate. Let's continue training for the next three months."
Pushing the listless group into the practice room, Lan Sen took their notebooks and reiterated their shortcomings in singing and dancing. When he looked up again, the listless little cabbages had regained their fighting spirit.
"Lansen, what are you waiting for? Let's start training!" someone shouted, eagerly beginning to do stretching exercises.
Then Lansen smiled again, "Alright!"
Three months passed in this monotonous yet meaningful training session. Afterward, they threw themselves into their work. Unfortunately, apart from recording two variety shows together, the rest of their group's work consisted almost entirely of solo recordings.
Everyone is in different variety shows, in different cities.
Looking at the hotel where he was all alone, Zhao Zhao couldn't help but think of the separation effect before his death.
It had been less than two months since he left, but the seven people closest to him had spent little time together.
"I miss them~" She flopped onto the bed dejectedly, when suddenly a voice called from outside the door, "Zhao Zhao, come out and play games."
"Okay," Zhao Zhao patted her expressionless cheeks, got up, smiled at herself in the mirror, and said, "Well, today is another positive day."
Go, cutie Zhao Zhao!
......
[Breaking News!: Who is the most popular member of the CCRR Star Boy Group?!]
The CCR Star Boys' most grand stage performance since their debut is about to take place in City A, and their solo fans have become extremely active again, pushing this topic to the top of the trending searches once more.
"In terms of popularity, of course it's our captain Lan Sen, who can sing and dance well! What are you solo fans doing? Get out of my way!" The most upvoted comment came from Lan Sen's hot-tempered fans, who told everyone to get lost. They were absolutely tough and had absolute fighting power.
However, the dissenting voices below only continued to grow.
“My brother is the most popular. The scene at the airport last time Xingxing was so spectacular that you can’t even imagine it.”
"Zhao Zhao Baby's team is number one! Zhao Zhao Baby is the most talented! Zhao Zhao Baby's singing is absolutely mesmerizing!!!"
"Yi Yi's cuteness is beyond doubt!"
"Everyone upstairs, get out of here. Now, I'll be introducing the story of our returning baby sloth's comeback."
"Is there even a need to question the fact that we're number one in popularity? Of course, it's our Ayan!"
"Get out of here! Qingqing, who's always been unknown, is the best!"
"NO! Do you guys still remember Xiao He by Daming Lake?! Even though he went home to inherit the family business before his debut, in my heart, he's still number one in popularity!!!"
"Get out of here! Unrelated people, don't try to ride on our boy band's coattails! Get the hell out of here!!!"
Even Xiao He, who had nothing to do with it, was dragged into the competition, which shows the amazing persistence of boy band fans in their idol worship.
The topic remained on the trending list for several days, during which time there were hundreds of thousands of comments.
It's clear that there are more solo fans than group fans. Fortunately, there are quite a few rational fans, otherwise, it would be impossible to manage.
Amidst the heated online debate among fans, the Star Boys' stage performance took place as scheduled.
......
[Zhaozhao, before you go out, take your "Resurrection Scroll" with you.]
"Okay." Zhao Zhao paused to pack her things, then calmly stuffed the neatly folded papers from the gift box into her shirt pocket.
As soon as she opened the door, she bumped right into Yu Xingli, who was walking straight towards her.
Happy birthday, Zhao Zhao!
He excitedly hugged Zhao Zhao and spun her around, his handsome, chiseled face beaming with a smile. "There's no time to prepare a birthday party for you today, but we'll have a simple birthday celebration again tonight after the stage performance!"
Zhao Zhao didn't say anything, she just smiled and nodded.
Looking at the team's youngest member, who had grown another year older, Yu Xingli's gaze was as kind as that of an old father.
Afterwards, everyone Zhao Zhao met outside warmly wished him a happy birthday, perhaps because a birthday party couldn't be held this year, so they made up for it with their enthusiasm.
Online fans also wished him a happy birthday and sent their blessings.
Below the trending topic of his group's performance, there were also hashtags wishing him a happy birthday.
The entire internet is sending blessings, something Zhao Zhao, who was previously unknown, never imagined.
But now, at eighteen, he is an excellent singer and dancer, a promising young man with a bright future ahead of him. He also has a group of teammates who are not family but are closer than family. Happiness and fulfillment have become tangible at this moment, but it is probably only for this moment.
Today was indeed very busy. Zhao Zhao didn't even have time to think much. The stage rehearsal was about to begin. He turned around and found six bright and handsome young men on stage waving at him.
Zhao Zhao's eyes curved slightly. "You're here."
