After Transmigrating Into a Male Idol Talent Show

Chapter 88

The interval between the sixteenth and twenty-fourth positions was already quite narrow. The votes of the lower-ranked trainees did not differ significantly, so whether they maintained their previous rankings or moved up or down, it wouldn't surprise them.

Because of this, the trainees had no idea whether they would secure a spot before the announcement was made.

However, when Producer Cui Zhihao announced the eighth position, the trainees waiting below understood that they had almost no hope left.

"The eighth position is..." as Producer Cui Zhihao's gaze swept over them, even though they knew it was unlikely, they couldn't help but hold onto a glimmer of hope.

There had been surprises in the past, after all. What if, just what if, the unexpected dark horse emerged this time?

This contradictory mindset, lacking confidence and assurance in oneself but unwilling to give up hope even before the dust settled, was present in the hearts of every trainee.

But reality didn't play out like a fairy tale, or rather, the person who would achieve a fairy tale-like reversal wasn't among them.

Producer Cui Zhihao's eyes carried encouragement as he said, "Chu Xin."

Some of the trainees were a bit surprised by this name, feeling envious but still applauding Chu Xin.

As the dark horse miraculously saved from the elimination line, Chu Xin wasn't considered by most as a likely candidate for the debut group. Although his skills were not weak, his personality wasn't particularly outstanding. Unlike other high-ranking trainees who had irreplaceable shining points and distinctive features, Chu Xin's singing and dancing abilities were strong after years of training, but he didn't have any particularly memorable traits.

He had a decent personality and was a good person, but he lacked uniqueness.

His appearance could definitely be considered handsome, but he fell short of being outstanding. He wasn't the type who would stand out in a crowd.

Overall, he was above average in every aspect, but even those who were less skilled than him could possibly surpass him with diligent practice.

To become an idol, one must shine brightly, both in appearance and personality, evoking freshness and excitement. Chu Xin was only strong in ability, but his charm didn't convince the trainees.

So when Producer Cui Zhihao announced Chu Xin's name, a few trainees who were close to debuting couldn't help but show disappointment and surprise.

Perhaps they felt that they had reached the end of the road in this program, and they didn't immediately suppress this emotion. Instead, they lowered their heads with a bit of dejection, covering their faces with their hands.

Chu Xin, who was called out, felt the atmosphere at the scene and felt a bit at a loss. He pursed his lips slightly, standing up and walking towards the stage.

Chu Xin didn't know why his votes were even higher than Nan Xiao's. Although he was eager to debut, he understood that he was not better than the trainees ranked lower than him in various aspects.

Everyone who had made it this far was outstanding. The current ninety-nine trainees had fought their way through thousands of resumes, and after numerous rounds of elimination, most of the remaining ones had their own strengths.

Chu Xin looked around at the trainees below the stage. He saw some trainees who showed signs of reluctance and sadness, but this time he didn't choose to retreat; instead, he looked back at them openly.

Regardless of whether there was any assistance from his company behind him, he had come this far through years of effort.

Perhaps he still wouldn't debut in the end, and maybe he would feel regretful and unwilling, like the trainees below the stage. But at least now he knew he had nothing to regret.
