How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Chapter 110 Remedy

Before the auditions, the management of the trainees from Mo Ri held a meeting with the trainees who were about to participate in the competition, and revealed the general program process.

The others said, "Perform well and try to debut. Even if you don't debut, get more exposure and gain more fans."

He spoke privately only with Gu Minxing, saying that barring any unforeseen circumstances, this show would be his pre-debut performance, and the editing and promotion of the show would be geared towards him, while he only needed to do his best.

Even before the show "My Favorite Treasure 101" started, Gu Minxing knew that he would debut on this show.

There won't actually be any behind-the-scenes manipulation, but if the show intentionally allocates time and editing in a way that favors a particular trainee, it's not difficult to manipulate the audience and fans' votes.

The current allocation is clearly the result of the program team's arrangement.

The only thing that surprised Gu Minxing was that the boy who was supposed to be eliminated from the competition actually made a comeback with his rapid progress, winning every match and gradually gaining popularity in the early stages of the show when he had no screen time.

It wasn't just a matter of good luck; Gu Minxing knew how hard he worked and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. In this team formed by the contract, Luo Enxi was the younger brother that Gu Minxing liked the most and cared about the most.

When his favorite younger brother asked him...

"...I saw you two arguing earlier? Right during the recording of the show."

Even though she didn't really want to talk about it, Gu Minxing still brought it up.

"We met by chance that day. I asked him why he wanted to participate in the show, and he said he suddenly wanted to become an idol..."

Gu Minxing simplified some of the details.

He said at the time, "I don't care why you're on the show, you'd better withdraw from the competition."

Lee Yong-hyun's response was: "None of your business."

Then Gu Minxing said, "Isn't the art of violin playing the only meaningful career? Who said that idols are just copies and meaningless?"

Lee Yong-hyun: "Then what's the point of you saying this now?"

"How is it meaningless? If it's meaningless, why did you participate?" Gu Minxing said coldly.

"Yes, that's something I don't understand either. You don't actually know why you're participating in this competition, right? It's just because you saw me working hard for so many years, and you suddenly felt like giving it a try, just like before, enjoying the feeling of easily crushing others' efforts without doing anything. Is it because you can't play the violin anymore? I heard you haven't even won any prizes in the last few competitions, and your orchestra was eliminated. Now you're coming here to find a sense of existence?"

"Yeah, I'm trying to get noticed, I'm afraid someone will steal my thunder, right?"

Lee Yong-hyun laughed again after speaking, and casually changed his tone, saying, "I won't steal your thunder. Don't worry, it's fine. Anyway, I'll lose."

These words completely enraged Gu Minxing, and he became uncontrollably angry.

"Why do you always talk as if you're the one making things easier for me? Can you please stop giving up every time you can't do something, and then acting like you're giving it away to someone else?

"Go, go, go."

……

That unpleasant parting didn't result in anything being said, but it made Gu Minxing realize even more how awful her so-called childhood friend was.

In the end, as expected, people with such a contemptuous and unloving attitude can still easily gain the right to debut based on their good looks.

Gu Minxing found it ironic that even her favorite younger brother was now starting to care about Li Longxuan, despite Gu Minxing repeatedly telling him to "ignore him."

Gu Minxing attributed Luo Enxi's insistence on asking questions related to Li Longxuan to her sympathy for him.

Right? People who lack nothing are always easily pitied.

Thinking this way, he couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment, so he unconsciously said some harsh words to Ronxi: "It's best if we all keep our distance from him."

The boy obediently replied, "Okay, then let's continue practicing."

But he still felt empty inside.

I'm afraid that the person in front of me will think I'm a bad person because of this.

Gu Minxing asked cautiously, "Enxi, what do you think of me? What kind of person am I in your eyes? I'd really like to know too."

"Are you serious?" the boy asked hesitantly.

"To be honest," Gu Minxing said, somewhat uneasy about Luo Enxi's answer, but still wanting to hear the truth.

Then he heard that earth-shattering cry, "Mommy..."

Gu Minxing took a long time to process what was happening, thinking she had misheard, and repeated, "Mommy?"

Instead, the boy in front of him blushed first, a blush appearing on his pale, sickly face, showing a rare shyness.

He twirled a stray strand of black hair on the side of his face with his equally pale hand, and smiled sheepishly: "Well, it's because I feel like you're my mother, Min-sung! I can't see my family in this world anymore, and no one cares about me on the show, except for you, Min-sung. You really feel like my mother to me! You're so considerate and take such good care of me, so I just blurted it out."

Ronxi’s slightly hurried tone suggested that he was desperately trying to salvage something, or perhaps trying to cover something up.

What is it? Is it loneliness? Gu Minxing wanted to know, but Luo Enxi wouldn't say it; he always kept these thoughts buried in his heart.

Luo Enxi looked at him with her clear and bright black eyes and said, "Seriously speaking, in my eyes, Minxing is a gentle yet strong person."

Gu Minxing completely softened.

Gu Minxing knew about Luo Enxi's family situation; he lived alone. She had also heard rumors about his violent tendencies. The first time she heard this, she was angry that someone would disregard life. But now that she knew him, Gu Minxing wondered how desperate he must have been to do such a thing.

The sight of the thin yet optimistic boy before her stirred a pang of pity in Gu Minxing.

Gu Minxing softened her voice and said to him, "I'm so happy that you can treat me like... Mom... Just rely on me as much as you want. If you feel lonely, I'm always here for you. We can't change what has already happened. If you feel lonely or tired, don't hide it. I'm always here for you, Enxi."

If she could, Gu Minxing really wanted to hug him. She wanted to hold his thin body in her arms and tell him not to be sad.

Ronxi nodded obediently, "Yes, I have a new home now, which is Iletter. So I won't feel lonely anymore."

I've come to regard ILitter as my home.

As Gu Minxing watched him nod, his slightly long black hair gently brushed against his pale, still-growing, sickly face, his lips still pale and bloodless. Gu Minxing felt even more pity for this very obedient and lovable younger brother.

He considers ILitterer his home, which is why he's afraid of it breaking up again, and why he's so concerned about his discord with Lee Yong-hyun. That's what's making him uneasy.
