The Pretty Trainee from Class F of the Boy Band

(Revised. The official and pirated versions differ.) [The comment section is closed because my brain was broken. This is a safe read with no drama. If you want to leave a comment, you can do so on the companion story, Little Mentor. This story is part of the same series.]

(The recipient is a delicate, foolish beauty, while the pursuer is powerful and strict. He will lock the recipient in a practice room and forcefully supervise his singing and dancing practice.)

He Zhou is a pretty trainee in Class F, with fair skin and eyes that grow misty and red around the corners whenever someone bullies him.

He is even more lovable than a little white rabbit.

But this pretty boy is afraid of hardship and exhaustion. His greatest wish is to be a happy, carefree foodie.

Unfortunately, He Zhou is always dragged away by Shi Zhe, the fearsome big shot from Class A.

Shi Zhe even locks him in a dark little practice room and forces him to train hard at singing and dancing.

The pretty boy He Zhou looks aggrieved, his eyes damp and misty. "Singing and dancing are so exhausting. I can't even enjoy my meals anymore."

Every time Shi Zhe from Class A bullies him terribly, He Zhou complains tearfully to the people around him: "Waaah~ Shi Zhe bullied me again~"

Chen Mi, the junior mentor in charge of vocal training for the boy group, gives He Zhou his bottled fresh milk and cracks his knuckles.

"I'll go talk to Shi Zhe right now. That guy is really asking for a beating."

His roommate, an excellent singer and dancer with an arrogant personality, criticizes He Zhou with a frown while bringing out tasty snacks to cheer him up.

"Why are you crying over something so trivial? You're so useless. If Shi Zhe is mean to you again, I'll beat him up for you."

A sunny, handsome senior from the same company invites He Zhou to eat his favorite fruit cake to cheer him up.

"From now on, I'll teach you to sing and dance myself. Because if you can't make it into the group, then there's no point in debuting by myself."

Though the pretty boy is everyone's darling, cherished and protected by all,

he still can't escape his fate of being dragged into the little practice room by Shi Zhe to train hard at singing and dancing.

That practice room is especially frightening, with dim lights and so little space it doesn't even have a window.

The pretty boy often gets pinned against a corner and scolded by the fierce Shi Zhe for slacking off and not wanting to practice singing and dancing.

Even when Shi Zhe bullies him until he cries, he doesn't comfort him.

Shi Zhe only grabs the pretty boy He Zhou by the waist and orders him with an even fiercer expression: "No crying! Keep practicing!"

He Zhou: "..."

Of course, he cries even harder.

(The Class A big shot who only knows how to scold people and never comfort them X The Class F pretty boy who cries whenever someone scolds him)

Note: He Zhou is 18, a first-year college student who is taking part in a boy-group trainee program during summer vacation.

He is 1.79 meters tall and isn't very happy with his height, so he likes drinking milk.

When the story mentions "bottled milk," it always means bottled fresh milk (this will also be mentioned in the story). "Bottled milk" is shorter than "bottled fresh milk," so it's more convenient to write.

I wanted to clarify this in advance to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

****Coming Soon 1: So Pretty, and You Want to Be a Pilot?****

(The recipient is a beautiful, delicate, universally adored person, but also highly capable and hardworking. In the end, he will shock everyone with his abilities.)

Bai Yao, the young master of the Bai family, has a beautiful face and a delicate air.

Many people think Bai Yao can spend his whole life as a pampered pretty boy, relying on his looks.

But against everyone's expectations, Bai Yao is accepted into an aviation academy that has trained countless outstanding pilots.

The rich young man Bai Yao once rejected says, "Yao Yao's wrists are so thin. I doubt he can even grip the control yoke."

The strict instructor says, "If you're too delicate to endure hardship, I suggest you withdraw from the program."

An upperclassman says, "Did this batch of freshmen get admitted based on their looks? The standard gets worse every year."

A freshman who ranked first in the entrance exams says, "Someone like Bai Yao, who has nothing but a pretty face and no ability, doesn't deserve to be my classmate."

*

A few months later, in the library, Bai Yao's slender, pale fingers hold a thick flight manual as he studies it carefully.

The strict instructor says, "You don't need to study so intensely all at once. Remember to balance work and rest."

The upperclassman says, "If there's anything you don't understand, just ask your senior to teach you. Don't be shy."

The classmate who ranked first says, "Bai Yao, I happen to have some questions too. Let's discuss them together, then grab a meal afterward."

Bai Yao places his index finger against his lips and gently reminds them, "Shh, please keep the library quiet."

*

Later, Bai Yao graduates with excellent grades and becomes a licensed pilot.

With his handsome, striking appearance and outstanding flight record, he is a rising star in the aviation industry.

The instructor tells his students, "Your senior Bai Yao was the student I valued most. From the moment I first saw him, I knew he had a bright future ahead of him."

The upperclassman tells his colleagues, "Our company's most handsome Captain Bai is my junior from school. I hope I get to fly with him on every flight from now on."

A classmate who graduated in the same year as Bai Yao thinks to himself, "Yao Yao is beautiful, Yao Yao is amazing. I want to coax Yao Yao into coming home with me as my wife."

****Coming Soon 2: The Flirtatious Young Master Gets Disciplined by a Top-Tier Star****

Lan Zheng is a refined, handsome young master. He loves helping people and is quite the flirt, especially fond of spending money on obscure actors and idols.

Lan Zheng once liked an obscure supporting actor who was both handsome and hardworking. He often visited the set to bring him all kinds of gifts, sweetly saying, "You're my favorite, whether you're famous or not!"

But when the supporting actor finally becomes a top-tier star, the fickle Lan Zheng falls for another idol who has just debuted.

*

Before becoming a top-tier star, Sheng Ze spent a long time as an unknown supporting actor. At the lowest point in his acting career, a beautiful boy told him he was his favorite. That was the gentlest ray of light to shine into Sheng Ze's world.

To live up to the boy's affection, Sheng Ze worked tirelessly to hone his acting skills and finally became a top-tier star in the entertainment industry.

But the beautiful boy who said he liked him best has gone off to like someone else.

Sheng Ze's deep eyes darken. "Someone this fickle needs to be taught a proper lesson."

*

Lan Zheng goes to watch a new idol take part in a variety show recording, when top-tier star Sheng Ze makes a surprise appearance on set, causing a huge commotion.

As Lan Zheng cheers on the new idol, a large hand suddenly wraps around his waist and carries him off.

Lan Zheng's feet dangle in the air, unable to reach the ground: ???

Not long afterward, behind-the-scenes footage of top-tier star Sheng Ze appearing on the variety show is posted on Weibo.

The clip begins with a view of a large thicket of lush bushes. Top-tier star Sheng Ze's deep voice can be heard, seemingly demanding of someone, "Why did you block me on WeChat?"

The camera then shifts to a pair of hands with long, well-defined fingers.

Fans immediately recognize them as top-tier star Sheng Ze's hands.

The waist held in Sheng Ze's palm is slender and soft. A small section of pale skin, dazzlingly white, is visible beneath the hem of a shirt.

In the background, someone seems to be crying softly and begging, "Let go of me." But Sheng Ze's cool, pale fingers never loosen their grip.

Weibo immediately explodes.

Theme: Work hard and persevere, and things will get better after the hard times.
