Chapter 33 Choice

At the end of summer when I was 12 years old, Yue Sheng and I left Qingli City and never went back.

We went to Xucheng in the east, Yue Sheng went to university, and I went to junior high school.

Before I was sold to Yuejiazhai by human traffickers, I also wandered in big cities.But that big city can't compare with Xucheng.

When Yue Sheng took me to the center of Xucheng for the first time, I opened my eyes wide in surprise, just like seeing the snow-capped mountains floating in the sky back then.

They are all beautiful.But it is not the same beauty.

I can never go to the foot of the snow mountain, but I stand in the bustling center.

Tall buildings tower into the sky, and shopping malls are resplendent like palaces.

There is a huge screen in the palace, and the men and women who appear on it are radiant.

Their light fell into my eyes, and my heart suddenly beat very fast, and every beat was an indescribable throbbing.

"Brother." I grabbed Yue Sheng and stared at the screen intently, "Who are they?"

Why can they appear on such a big screen?

Why do people passing by look up at them?

Yue Sheng said, "It's a star."

"star?"

"It's actors, singers, entertainers, idols, people who are admired."

"They're so pretty."

"Ah."

I looked around and said, "A lot of people are looking at them."

Yue Sheng nodded.

"If you become a star, will you be liked by many people?"

"Ah."

"Can it be seen by many, many people?"

"Ah."

In the first year of junior high school, I had a dream.

I want to be a star and dance on the biggest screen in Xucheng.Let many, many people see me, like me, and worship me.

I no longer have to be ashamed like when I was a wanderer, and I don’t have to worry about being slaughtered like when I was a little companion.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third year of junior high school, and I added a reason to this dream-being a celebrity can make a lot of money.

Yue Sheng was very tired, working two jobs while going to school.I'm not yet 16 and I'm not wanted anywhere.

He was sick last month, and he was still struggling to go to work, but his condition worsened, and he lay down at home for several days.

I don't want him to work so hard. If I become a star, he won't have to work.I was raised by him, and I will raise him from now on.

"Do you want to be a star?" When I told Yue Sheng what I thought, I thought he would be very happy, but he frowned.

"Brother, you don't want me to be a star?" I don't like calling him brother anymore, the word sounds cooler.

Because I am not a child anymore.

Yue Sheng looked at me for a while, and then said: "Celebrities are public figures, and they have to face a lot of criticism, and it will be very hard."

"I'm not afraid!" I raised my face and raised my eyebrows confidently.

I was very popular in the class, the girls said I was a school girl, and the music teacher praised me for my vocal talent, she could dance, and taught me a lot of basic skills.

She was the first to know that I wanted to be a star.She said that my appearance is superior, my body and voice are in good condition, and if I meet Bole, I might really be able to eat like a star.

I was greatly encouraged.

"Brother, do you want me to study like you?" Although I am not a child anymore, I still like to act like a baby with Yue Sheng, "But my grades are not good, and it is impossible for me to be the number one student like you. I don't even want to go to high school .”

Yue Sheng frowned deeper, "I still have to study in high school."

"High school is not compulsory education." I pouted, "It costs money to go to high school. If you don't do well in the high school entrance examination, you have to pay more if you want to enter a better middle school. Brother, you don't have that much money at all."

Yue Sheng was stunned for a moment, "You don't have to worry about money."

"Why don't I worry about it?" I said, "You fell ill just to make money."

Yue Sheng asked: "Are you worried about money, so you want to be a star?"

"It's not..." I muttered for a long time, "Oh, you don't understand."

If it was a child, I would tell Yue Sheng all my thoughts, who told him that he was the only person in this world I could rely on.

But now I suddenly feel that there are some things I can't say, such as - I want to become rich, protect you like you protect me, and I want you to live the best and best life.

I sneaked a sideways glance at Yue Sheng and found that he was also looking at me.

"You still have to take the high school entrance examination." Yue Sheng finally said, "If you really want to develop in the entertainment industry, I won't stop you."

His answer made me both happy and sad.

The happy thing is that he supports me, but the sad thing is that he supports me reluctantly.

I guess, he still hoped that I would go to school and then be admitted to a prestigious university like him.

But I have no interest in studying. I prefer to learn to dance with a music teacher than to do my homework.

My grades really didn't allow me to get into a good high school.

During the summer vacation, I received two notices.

One from the last few high schools in Xucheng, and I was admitted by it.

One from my music teacher.She told me excitedly that an artist company was looking for boys from middle and high school, and she helped me submit my resume, and I passed the first round of resume auditions.

The surprise came so suddenly, I didn't want to report to high school immediately.

I showed the notice to Yue Sheng, he seemed very hesitant, and asked me again: "Are you really determined to go this way?"

"Of course!" My determination has been so firm that no one can stop it.

Not even Yue Sheng!

Yue Sheng was silent for a long time, "When is the interview? I'll accompany you."

Yue Sheng will be a senior soon, and although it is summer vacation, he is busier than before.On the day of my interview, he turned down the job and sent me to the company on a special trip.

Xingteng culture.I stood in front of its silver building, high-spirited and full of ambition, imagining that I had become a star enjoying the cheers.

The interview venue was very large, and there were many boys around my age standing in the corridor. The air conditioner had been turned to the lowest temperature, but the heat still persisted.

I waited from morning to noon, not daring to eat, and then from noon to evening.

The sunset gradually became visible outside the window, and I heard someone call my name.

"Yueshanxue."

Waited a day and the interview took less than 10 minutes.

I was like a cargo that was stuffed into a container and quickly thrown out again.

I haven't shown any talent yet.

A long time later, when I figured out the rules of the entertainment industry, I realized that there was no need to show any talent in that interview. Those eyes only needed to see my feet from my face to know whether I let them spend money or not. Money is necessary for cultivation.

I thought I had lost the election, so I plunged into Yue Sheng's arms dejectedly.

He patted me on the back and reassured me that it was okay and there would be opportunities in the future.

I said I wanted to eat strawberries and candied haws. On the way home, he bought me two bunches to make me happy.

Xucheng's candied haws are much more expensive than Qingli's, and these two bunches are equivalent to our daily food expenses.

I regretted it after eating one skewer, and hurried home to freeze the other skewer in the refrigerator, and only ate one a day.

However, a few days later, I received a call from a strange woman. She said that I had passed the interview of Xingteng Culture, and told me an address, and told me to report for work in three days and receive idol training.

I read the address three times, and it is really the Xingteng Building I have been to, but the floors are different.

I was so excited that I ran to the place where Yue Sheng worked - he taught mathematics in a tutoring institution. The job he found last semester was much higher than being a tutor.

"Brother!" I yelled again because I was so happy, "I passed! I'm going to be a star!"

Something flashed in Yue Sheng's eyes - I couldn't understand what it was.

He said calmly, "Really, congratulations."

There are a total of 25 boys who passed the interview and me, many of whom are from other places. Xingteng arranged a dormitory for us, four people in one room, and the conditions are better than the house rented by Yue Sheng and me.

I moved into the dorm and practiced day and night.

There are several teachers teaching us, dance, vocal music, body shape... I get up at five o'clock in the morning, and it is usually early in the morning when I go to bed. When I am too tired to go back to the dormitory, I simply sleep in the practice room.

Other boys are like me too.

We had an agent, he was in his 20s, tall and handsome, I didn’t understand why such a good-looking person didn’t become a star, but came to act as an agent for us brats.

He said that the intensive special training for the summer vacation will end on August 8, and there will be an assessment after that. Ten people will be eliminated. Company resources will be obtained in a combined form.

In order to stay in the 15-man squad, I practiced like hell.

The teacher said, I must have no problem, because I have the most outstanding appearance, and my dance is also the best.

Sure enough, at the end of the summer vacation, I stayed with No.3.

Yue Sheng and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I came home with good news, but he told me that he will be away for a while after the start of senior year.

I was surprised, "brother, where are you going?"

"Yunshan County." He named a place that I had never heard of.

He is going there to teach and will not come back until the Spring Festival.

I checked online and found out that Yunshan County is in the north, very poor and backward.

I immediately thought of Yuejiazhai.

"But you, isn't your current job good?" I was anxious, I am no longer a child, I know what people should do and what they need to gain a foothold in society.Yue Sheng is still the best in the university. He receives the highest level of scholarship every year, has the qualifications for graduate studies, and is invited by a key high school in Xucheng to teach.

But, but he actually wants to give up all of this and become a teacher in a place like Yuejiazhai?

I subconsciously said: "No! I don't agree!"

The sunlight coming in from the window fell into Yue Sheng's eyes and disappeared in an instant.

His tone was still calm, "You want to be a star, and I want to teach in Yunshan County. This is our own choice."
