Chapter 426: Chapter 426: How Did Someone Fall Down?!

"Isn’t this a bit too risky..." Liu Qian, standing out of the camera’s view, glanced anxiously at the lens. "What if something happens..."

Xi Yang slung the guitar over his back, his face filled with sarcasm.

"What could possibly happen? The worst is he’ll be late or miss it, and that’s his fault for not caring enough. We can’t be blamed."

He could feel it—the threat Shi Xu’s presence posed to him.

In auditions, you either needed extraordinary talent or extraordinary looks.

Shiguang already had one of them, and even if his abilities were poor, just having that face would suffice to get him a meal.

He didn’t want another stumbling block on his path to forming a group.

He had to be the face of Youth Trainee!

Most people had already left the camp.

Half an hour later, Jiang Shixu finally pulled himself out of his emotions. When he turned around, the dormitory was empty.

But he was accustomed to such scenes and expressionlessly walked forward to push open the balcony door.

However, no matter how much he twisted the doorknob, the door wouldn’t budge.

Minutes later, sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Damn it, the door is locked from the outside! Today is the debut stage!

He glanced at his watch. With only ten minutes left until the performance, Jiang Shixu’s anxiety escalated.

Frantically, he tried to ram the door, but the balcony’s glass door, made of special material, wouldn’t move no matter how hard he tried.

Gradually, having skipped breakfast, he started to feel weak and eventually collapsed on the floor, exhausted.

The weather in the Capital was pleasant today, clear and crisp.

Looking up at the sky, Jiang Shixu silently began to cry.

Mom, I’m sorry.

Sister, I’m sorry.

Grandpa, I’m sorry.

He was going to disappoint all of them.

If he couldn’t even get past this balcony door, how could he possibly step onto the stage that held thousands?

Crying turned into sobbing for Jiang Shixu. He subconsciously touched his tears, and his fingertips felt something cold.

Looking at it, it was the bracelet he had gotten from the temple before leaving—one that was exactly like Jiang Li’s.

He could almost hear that familiar, warm, and powerful voice:

"Shixu, never give up, even if there seems to be no hope at all, never give up; miracles will happen as long as you don’t give up..."

He and his sister had agreed to at least hold on until the debut stage.

If he gave up now, how disappointed his sister would be.

And she was on a dangerous deserted island right now.

Filled with renewed hope, Jiang Shixu wiped his tears and stood up from the ground.

He clung to the edge of the balcony and looked down.

Hmm...the fourth floor, not too high, not too low.

"It’s okay, you got this, come on, at worst you’ll just end up in the hospital for a few days, and how many times have you been there anyway?"

Encouraging himself, Jiang Shixu started climbing down the drainpipe.

Luckily, Jiang Li had forced him to train a few days before they came, adding more muscle to his arms and legs, making the climb relatively manageable.

But as he was about to reach the first floor, Jiang Shixu couldn’t resist looking down, which made his mind go blank and his vision start to swirl.

In a moment of negligence, he let go of his hands, and his body plummeted straight down.

"It’s over."

That was his instinctive thought.

But the moment he hit the ground, his back hit something very soft, and a painful scream rang in his ears.

"Shit, my back..."

"Fuck, how did someone fall down here?!"

Jiang Shixu was horrified and quickly scrambled up from the ground, only then realizing he had accidentally knocked into someone.

It was a guy, around his age, dressed in a staff uniform, clean-cut, and very sunny and handsome.

"I’m so, so sorry..." He immediately panicked and clumsily helped the guy up from the ground, "Are you, are you okay?"

The guy wearing sunglasses held his chest and stood up, "Do I look okay to you? You nearly broke my waist!"

"Ah? But isn’t this your chest?"

The guy: "..."

He quickly moved his hand to his waist.

"Never mind, just hurry up and take me to the hospital!"

Jiang Shixu grew more anxious, "But, but the debut stage is about to start, I, I can’t make it, can I give you some money and you go by yourself..."

The guy rolled his eyes, "Do I look like I’m short on cash? You... wait, debut stage, are you a trainee?"

Jiang Shixu nodded.

The guy took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of beautiful but shocked eyes.

"Then what are you doing climbing a water pipe now? Don’t you know the performance has already started?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shixu’s eyes brimmed with tears.

The guy panicked.

"You, don’t cry damn it, okay, I won’t make you take me to the hospital, just hurry inside, you might still make it."

"But, but..." Jiang Shixu sobbed even harder.

"But what?"

"But I don’t know which way to go..."

The guy: .....?

Looking at Jiang Shixu’s inexplicably beautiful face, he had a moment of existential crisis.

Maybe it’s true that God is fair; he gave him such an extraordinary face but took away his brain.

The guy helplessly facepalmed, "Okay, okay, I can’t stand it anymore, I’ll take you there myself, just stop crying. You’re a grown man, what does crying all the time look like?"

"Really? That’s great! Thank you!" Jiang Shixu suddenly brightened up, his eyes widening.

Watching the magnified handsome face in front of him, the guy’s heartbeat involuntarily skipped.

Damn.

If he were a woman, he’d probably be lost in this face too!

"Cough cough." The guy coughed deliberately trying to act nonchalant, "Alright, just follow me."

Jiang Shixu wiped away his tears and silently followed behind him.

"By the way, you’re a staff member here, right? What’s your name?"

"Tai Fan."

"Ah? Do I, do I talk too much, am I annoying..." Jiang Shixu said in a lowered and uneasy voice.

Tai Fan furrowed his brows and turned back with a hint of annoyance.

"I mean, my name is Tai Fan, Tai from Tarzan, Fan from ’extraordinary’!"

Jiang Shixu: "...."

Who names themselves so strangely?

Tai Fan was familiar with the way to the training camp and soon led Jiang Shixu to the studio.

Inside was a lively blend of singing and dancing, sporadically punctuated with cheers, evidently at its climax.

"Alright, go ahead and get inside, this is as far as I go." After saying this, Tai Fan put on his hat and sunglasses, about to leave with his arms crossed.

But Jiang Shixu grabbed him.

"Wait, wait, I haven’t thanked you yet."

"No need." Tai Fan seemed a bit anxious, "A true man doesn’t dwell on thanks, just let go of me."

"No, no way." Jiang Shixu held his clothes even tighter, "My sister told me, if someone helps me, I must thank them in return, otherwise, otherwise it could harm my luck."

Tai Fan: ???
