Chapter 39 Don't Stop
Le Jing first found the direction: "Old people like lively atmospheres."
Ning Xiangqi chimed in, "Yes, yes, it should be festive!"
"There's also the need for interaction, and the interactive element needs to be strong," Song Wenchen added. "I think we should find an arranger to modify our accompaniment to make it more cheerful. The original song is a bit too mechanical and futuristic, but the light rock style can be retained."
Tian Jizhang worried, "There are only two days left, can we find it?"
Le Jing immediately said, "I can compose music. I'll talk to the staff and see if I can borrow some equipment. I think I can. I saw them had some before."
Ning Xiangqi said, "Then I'll rewrite the lyrics for this rap, make it something festive? Like 'May your happiness be as boundless as the Eastern Sea and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountain' or something?"
"The choreography needs to be made a bit more lively, so let's have the four of us do it."
"Yongxuan, you'll be in charge of choosing the outfits."
After a brief discussion, they finally settled on a general direction. Le Jing rearranged the music, Ning rewrote the rap lyrics, and they decided to wear red sportswear. As for the dance, they wanted to emphasize energy and youth.
For the remaining two days, everyone practiced the new changes, repeatedly practicing the altered formations until they were almost perfect.
During this time, a surprise happened – the original singers of "Don't Stop", the three members of Crop Circle, lead singer Shu Qing, Ruo Lian and lead dancer Ji Youming suddenly came to Luo Xi and the others' practice room to support Le Jing's performance.
"Surprise!" "Hello everyone!" "Hello!"
Before anyone could react, three tall men wearing masks and stylish casual clothes walked into the practice room.
As the members of the Wheat Monster group had hoped, Le Jing showed a surprised and joyful expression, "Why are you all here!"
"Brother Hua!!" Ji Youming walked over and hugged Le Jing tightly, patting him on the back a few times.
"Why did you come so suddenly? Aren't you supposed to be very busy? We agreed to meet again after my debut." Le Jing said this, but a happy smile appeared on her face, and her eyes were moist.
Shu Qing took off his mask and explained with a smile, "Oh, I just happened to be passing by."
"Don't worry, Brother Hua, no one else came. Only the three of us are here," Ruolian said, arms crossed.
"Wow, being a celebrity feels so different," Ning Xiangqi whispered to Luo Xi as they stood next to her.
“Really?” Rosie nodded.
Crop Circle is a currently very popular and top-tier group. Their six members can be seen everywhere, from Weibo discussions to TV commercials and video websites. It is true that fame makes people more attractive. Even though Le Jing and they are equally outstanding in terms of appearance and height, their appearance makes people feel different and gives them an exceptionally dazzling star aura.
After exchanging pleasantries with Le Jing, the three from the crop circle greeted Luo Xi and the others, signed autographs for Wang Xiao and Ning Xiangqi, and watched Le Jing's team perform "Don't Stop".
"Haha, the changes are so interesting!"
"great!"
"We're cheering for you! Keep it up!"
Because of their schedules, they couldn't stay long. After clapping and saying their support, they had to leave.

Time quickly came to July 15th, the day of the official performance of "Don't Stop".
By practicing at a pace of 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day, Luo Xi was able to find time each day to complete his points tasks.
I accumulated 3110 points over these seven days, which is equivalent to 3 attribute points. After adding them to my charm, I have 128 points left.
Because she had to sing the chorus of "Don't Stop," she consciously focused her repetitive tasks on singing, which increased her attributes by 4 points, dancing by 1 point, and composition by 4 points.
The current attributes are as follows:
【Luo Xi】(Age 17, Height 177cm, Weight 56kg)
Dance 44/100
Singing ability 26/100
rap ability 8/100
Charm 9/100
Creation 6/100
The host is giving the opening remarks.
The teams waiting to go on stage were all in their own dressing room, which was a small room with a live broadcast screen for the stage.
Luo Xi's "Don't Stop" group drew the first spot to perform. After getting their clothes and hair done, they prepared backstage.
Backstage, you can already see that the audience is packed with people, mostly elderly people with gray hair or wrinkled faces, all with curious and expectant expressions, holding small colorful flags with the logo of the senior university in their hands.
"I'm so nervous!" Tian Jizhang said.
Wang Xiao grasped his hand, "I'm shaking too, haha."
Le Jing patted their bodies as if to dispel their tension, "Don't be afraid, just do it as you practice."
Luo Xi also encouraged everyone, "That's right, the original singer has already certified it for us, what are we afraid of!"
Song Wenchen stretched out his hand, looking at each teammate, "Let's cheer each other on!"
Everyone put their hands together and said, "Go for it!"
"...Let's welcome the first group, performing 'Don't Stop'!"
Amid applause, seven people took the stage.
In the revised, more lively intro, the seven members smiled and swayed their bodies as Song Wenchen and Wang Xiao began the verses.
"Whoa whoa whoa—what is sound, a big bang from outer space, destroying everything and rebuilding it again, yelling 'Don't stop...'"
"Don't stop, that time bomb is about to explode/A new universe is born/Full speed up, Don't stop..."
"Don't stop the special signals that trigger your new brainwaves/Don't stop, keep accelerating/Don't stop—"
As the chorus of Le Jing and Luo Xi began, the moment Le Jing hit her high note, the entire audience erupted in applause.
"Hey!"
"Grandpas and grandmas here, laugh with me, open your hearts, may your happiness be as boundless as the Eastern Sea and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountains, may love fill the world, may your health never stop, may you grow more and more adorable with each passing year, and may all your worries disappear..."
Ning Xiangqi's rap brought the atmosphere to its climax, and the whole audience was clearly laughing. They couldn't see the smiling faces of each grandpa and grandma, but they could hear the laughter and applause.
"Please wake me, please fill me, Don't stop, Don't stop..."
This segment is a transition by Lee Yong-hyun. When he stood in the center and twisted his waist, there was indeed a louder sound. As expected, someone who looks like that is attractive to men, women, young and old.
"The storm that never stops will sweep everything away and burn everything to ashes..."
The seven people worked together perfectly. Tian Jizhang sang the next verse, followed by Luo Xi singing the chorus, while Le Jing provided constant harmonies, raising the atmosphere to a fever pitch.
When it was all over, they formed the five-pointed star ending pattern that tour groups use for photos, and the audience below the stage erupted in applause.
Ultimately, out of 50 votes, he received 49.
Return to the lounge.
Zhang Shuzhen's group sang "Flashing." They were the eighth to choose a song, and they picked a song that was relatively difficult to express. Obviously, they did not perform well and did not move the elderly audience, receiving only 41 votes.
Gu Minxing's group sang "Better Love." They were the third group to choose a song, so they opted for a popular one. They received blurry images, assuming the audience was college students or something similar, and focused on the song's sexy style, without particularly appealing to older audiences. Their less-than-conservative attire put them at a slight disadvantage. However, their performance was strong, and they still received 47 votes.
"The song that ultimately won first place is 'Don't Stop'!"
The host announced the results loudly, and everyone returned to the stage to bow to the grandparents in thanks.
