MY HONOURABLE MENTIONS IN YOUTH WITH YOU 3

This list consists of trainees who were on my list but were unfortunately eliminated or just me preferring other trainees in the top 9. In no particular order I quickly realised it was in their rank order:

LIANG SEN

Before you come at me for this, let me explain. I love that he’s a triple threat, and I enjoyed his performance especially “jade” as he was the perfect center for that song in my opinion. The reason why I chose other contestants over him in my final list is because I feel like he would shine more if he was a solo artist as supposed to being in a group. This was one of those cases like shangguan xiai last season where I was conflicted whether I want them in the group or not but nonetheless if 10 was the lineup he would be my 10th member.

CHEN YUGENG (CRAYON)

This contestant became one of my faves during group battle. I really liked him in “stand” and “domesticator” which showcased his powerful and charismatic side. I admired his leadership qualities and his love for rap. The way he carries himself on stage makes him 10x handsome and his relationship with his brother danfeng is adorable. Also his “go hard” performance was so fire I was having the time of my life. Wishing the best for him and danfeng.

JIANG JINGZUO

You have no idea how much I love him despite not mentioning him in my blog ever. He is the definition of an idol and he is what were looking for in the lineup but clearly iqiyi had other plans. He is a beautiful performer and a great singer I’m honestly just blown away. I loved every performance he has done but if I were to pick one, its definitely “history”. Can’t wait to see him on stage again.

ZHANG SIYUAN (G.G. ZHANG SIYUAN)

His rap is divine. I love this guy and he still has a soft spot in my heart. He may not be the best dancer, he has the stage presence to make up for it and does an amazing job every time. My favourite performances from him are “unworthy” and “domesticator”. Also, him fanboying over THE9 is such a mood I love him. I already miss him and junhao.

CHEN JUNHAO (DRCCHEN)

Speaking of junhao, he’s also another honorable mention. He is another triple threat I admire on the show and his friendship with siyuan and sen are honestly the best. My favourite performances from him, well honestly, I can’t choose cause I enjoyed every stage he performed but I will pick “tou tou”. You know what would be awesome? If he, siyuan, sen and chase release a song together, I’d listen to that all day.

ZI YU

I thought I wouldn’t like him but I can’t help it. He is too adorable for words watch out chase. I noticed him when he was forced to do “stand” and I felt bad that he had to perform a song he didn’t want. Either way he is now someone who I look forward to on stage and I love his performances, especially “superpower”. I also enjoyed his “close to you” and “monsoon” stage. His pose in that photo ashsjs so cute!!!

CHEN JUNYU (JAYDON)

I love his voice. His vocals are out of this world. I knew he was good at singing but when he did “stop sugar” for the studio group battle challenge thing no idea where i went with that I swore my heart skipped a beat. He was great in “tou tou” but “stop sugar” was made for him. Anyway, his performances were so good especially “close to you” and “forever love” which was not aired screw you iqiyi.

ZHONG JUNYI (ONE)

My underrated favourite. He is another triple threat I like and is quite handsome I need to promote my faves you guys. I knew he’s a great dancer and rapper but when he was center for “stop sugar” I was blown away. My favourite performances were “history”, “stop sugar” and his part in “kick it”. His stage presence is amazing and I need people to know that he exists. Please look out for his future activities.

FANG ZHENG

His vocals. Thats all I’m gonna say. It’s disappointing to see that viewers slept on this guy when he has a dynamite voice. In both performances he did, he showcased his stellar vocals and his dance capabilities. Out of the two performances, I loved “let me stay” which highlighted his vocal ability but “never get low” was good too those light up fans were so cool I want one.

YANG YUEHAN (JOHAN)

I was so mad when he got eliminated. He has such a deep sexy voice hold it together vivs and he’s a decent dancer. I love his performances in “unworthy” and “jade” oh not to mention “heartbreaker”. It’s sad that the only time people knew him was when liang sen delivered the iconic line “don’t touch my johan!” when ailizati wanted him to join his group but I’m excited to see what he does in the future.

-

Those are my 10 of many honorable mentions. It was so hard to pick just 10 to talk about because if I wanted to talk about all of my faves, this would be a long post like last season. Let me know who your faves are!!

History 3 Trapped Filming Diary (full English translation) - Days 1-10

Just before you start reading, a little note of explanation: the author of this diary will frequently use the character’s name when they mean the actor. I have added the names of the actors between square brackets sometimes to avoid confusion. Also between square brackets you will find some words that are implied, so I added them in the translation to make the translation a bit smoother, but they aren’t included in the Chinese text. 

The book’s author will also talk in the first person POV sometimes, refering to themselves as either “I”, “we” or “this little editor 小编”.  So each time you see me write “I”, it is not my own opinion I’m inserting in the text, but the author/editor’s. If I have anything else to add or explain myself, I’ll add it in a note at the end of the text.  

I’ll repeat: I don’t own the book so I can’t post my scans of the pictures that came with every day. So I posted some other pictures of the scenes that were being filmed with each day. These pics belong to LINE TV or Choco Media, or I’ve taken screenshots. 

Day 1-10 under the cut. 

Day 1

The first day of shooting happened to coincide with ‘Li Dong’⁕ but the temperatures of that day soared to 29 degrees. The crew was going sleeveless, but the actors were all wearing sweaters or dress shirts. Tang Yi, who had on the most, was wearing a turtleneck sweater and a suit jacket on top at one point, but he didn’t sweat very much.⁕ Meanwhile A De [Stanley], wearing a shirt and a suit jacket, was [clad] the ‘thinnest’ at the scene. When he got off work and took off his sweaty shirt, the wardrobe department exclaimed: “This shirt is so wet!”

Officer Meng’s scenes for that day consisted of eating from 10 am in the morning until 6pm in the evening. He basically ate from when he got to work until he got off work. All in all he had two large bags of rice and poured 4 liters of coca cola. Junhao [Jake] will start sweating profusely and start flushing when he eats spicy food, so as soon as the director yelled ‘cut’, the crew would immediately pass him a plastic bag so he could spit out the spicy Kung Pao Chicken he was eating.

⁕ Li Dong 立冬 literally means ‘establishing the winter’, so it is some kind of winter solstice in Asian culture. In the Gregorian calendar, it falls on 7 or 8 November. According to the IG stories of some of the cast of Trapped, it was indeed 7 November 2018 when shooting started. 

⁕ Chris apparently doesn’t sweat much, no matter how hot he gets. He says as much in his vlog as well. I envy him, because I’d just be sweating buckets like Stanley. 

Day 2

The first meeting between Tang Yi and Wenhao is also the second time that Chengyang [Chris] and teacher Jiakui [Chen Jiakui, the actor who plays Chen Wenhao] worked together. They cooperated for the first time on a movie. At that time teacher Jiakui served as the movie’s drama teacher. When Chris had gone through make-up in the early morning, he sat alone in a corner with the script. You could easily see that he was conflicted and upset. [For the other movie] teacher Jiakui was Chris’ mentor, but here Wenhao was the target of Tang Yi’s revenge.

In the process of their scenes where they faced each other, the director hoped that Tang Yi could hate Wenhao even more, but Tang Yi’s personality is subdued and calm. So how could he fly into a raging fit and still keep his calm? In a part that was not captured on camera, teacher Jiakui aggravated some lines to make Chris more infuriated. Afterwards teacher Jiakui also said that the role of Tang Yi is not easy to perform. [Tang Yi] is a young mob boss, The hate in his eyes must therefore also carry a bit of youthfullness, which is difficult to experience for normal people in the course of their lives.

Day 3

Today was the first time that Zhaozi arrived on set, and while he was bored waiting for his scenes, Zhaozi started to act as the shop’s clerk to sell suits. Apart from suits, bowties and regular ties, he even managed to sell shoehorns. By oneself, the words just kept on flying out of his mouth which left Shaofei beside him looking dumbfounded (if you want to see Shaofei’s dumbfounded meme-like look, you have to absolutely watch the behind-the-scenes on the DVDs)⁕. [Shaofei] continued to shout “If you buy a shoehorn you get Zhaozi for free with it, please someone take Zhaozi away, Unit 3 can’t stand it anymore.”

Boss Tang was tired, and took a nap in his own shop. ‘Just a little while will do. Shaofei and A De, you two be on the lookout for me, and if the director is coming, remember to wake me.’

⁕ Excellent advice. Please do watch the behind-the-scenes after finishing this book, because a lot of what is written here is visualized in the bts. The bts are arranged per episode though, and not per filming day, but it’s still amazing to be able to see what went on. 

Day 4

The set for the offices of Investigation Unit 3 is actually the office of LINE TV’s Choco Media branch. The contemporary industrial style caused the atmosphere among Unit 3 to be even more lively. 

For Unit 3’s first scene together, the director used a one-shot to have everyone appear on the scene, which meant that the first time all the actors were present, they had to have a ‘chemistry’ test. But apart from the actors, chemistry also had to be there for the whole staff, as the directing crew, the camera crew and the sound crew, really everyone, also had to follow [the actors] along⁕. I still remember that by the 20th take, everyone’s lines ran very smoothly, the shot was satisfactory and everyone was where they were supposed to be. The director and the crew were holding their breath in concentration, and just when they thought they’d succeed, A Zhi [character Zhou Guanzhi, played by Kass Tsai] forgot a line in the very last sentence hahahaha. In the end, this round took 27 takes.

⁕ The author uses a metaphor/reference here. They write 乾坤大挪移 which means something like ‘The Great Shift of the Cosmos’ and is apparently a kind of martial art from a martial arts novel. It consists of 7 increasingly difficult skill levels, whereby the 7th level is almost unattainable. In other words, shooting this one-shot scene required the whole cast and crew pulling off this great cosmos shift, and thus was a big, big challenge. 

Day 5

After we shot the scene where the two idiots from Unit 3 [Shaofei and Zhaozi] got into trouble and received an explosive scolding by Dapao [Shi Dapao, the name of Unit 3’s Captain]⁕, the director told Shaofei that she wanted to add a scene where he sat next to the window thinking about Sister Lizhen, continuing in the same mood [as the previous scene]...Everyone in Unit 3 felt that Shaofei was continuing to set his teeth into a meaningless old case. If there had only been some progress in the investigation...but [Shaofei] not only didn’t find any new leads, but he also got into trouble everywhere. If Sister Lizhen would still be alive, he wouldn’t be like this now...Shaofei really, really missed sister Lizhen. Rather than say that the director added this scene at the last moment, it’s more like she deliberately didn’t tell Junhao [Jake] that she would add this part. 

When they were shooting, the director played the music from the music box through the megaphone and from time to time talked as well, to provoke moody feelings in Jake. In the end Jake grabbed his phone and scrolled through his mother’s Facebook, and to all our surprise Jake started bawling, so much so that even after the ‘cut’ he couldn’t stop, until the director walked over and lightly patted him on the back. To be able to cry like that in a short amount of time, even he himself hadn’t expected that.

⁕ How much fun is it that the name of the Captain of Unit 3 literally means big cannon, when he explodes in anger all the damn time? 😂 I am quite convinced that in the hospital scene where Shaofei tells Tang Yi of his fortune-telling and that only a cannon can strike him down - he uses the exact same wording ‘dapao’ - it’s actually an inside joke and he may not have meant ‘cannon’ literally. 

Day 6

Today’s weather couldn’t be called very fine, and when we were shooting until 3 or 4 P.M., the daylight was almost gone, just when the filming location had large windows in every corner that reached the ground. Our funny director said “Why did the production team run out of light after 3 P.M.? Did they forget to send notice⁕ to the sun?” This caused the crew that was present to not know whether to laugh or cry. But in the end, before the sun got off work, everyone else smoothly finished their job as well.

⁕ the term “to send notice” is quite literal, but the word is indeed an entertainment industry term as well, that means to hire someone for a short amount of time or for a specific show, without there having to be a longer-term contractual agreement. So it could also be translated as “did they forget to hire the sun [to star in today’s scenes]?”

Day 7

It was a day with complicated feelings for Shaofei and little Tang Yi, as Shaofei discovered Tang Yi’s past history. 

Before going to meet the adoptive father of his lover, of course Shaofei had to straighten himself out first and shave his beard to leave a good impression. In the evening, today’s final scene was shot. Before starting filming, the director hoped that [Tang Yi’s] adoptive father could guide little Tang Yi’s mood, because the intensity of this scene needed to bring out the reason why Tang Yi’s feelings for Tang Guodong ran so deep and make everyone feel the warmth that Tang Guodong brought to Tang Yi even more. 

Under the constant conflict of raising [little Tang Yi] through much difficulties, a loud and clear slap came down heavily on little Tang Yi’s face. The silence at the [shooting] site caused the loud sound to be infinitely amplified, and the director and the crew were all shocked. When the ‘cut’ sounded, little Tang Yi instantly started crying, and the director rushed to the room immediately. On every crew member’s face was reluctance and shock. Meanwhile the adoptive father sat with his head down on the sofa, full of remorse. 

An extra tidbit from the same scene: the crew’s love for little gadgets

There are always a few conspicuous toys in front of the director’s monitor. She explained that these were toys that members of the crew who are close to her gave her to alleviate stress. I don’t know which toy is the director’s favourite?

 Day 8

For the setting of the toilets of Unit 3 we actually used the toilets in a department store. Zhaozi, who arrived at the store very early in the morning, was hit on by an older lady who was just coming into work. The lady said: “Aren’t you Zhao Youting [Mark Chao]? You definitely are Zhao Youting!!” Even though Zhaozi went on to deny it, the lady didn’t listen and believed that this handsome guy in front of her was Zhao Youting himself. 

Actually, Zhaozi passed on the above story [to us], and no one actually saw this older lady. Zhaozi often tells bluff stories with a straight face, but I [this little editor] have my reservations about its credibility. But be as it may, after he was told that he looked like Zhao Youting, Zhaozi’s acting skills immediately leveled up. So okay, whether or not the story was real, we thank this lady ‘from the legends’.

Day 9

Can I call you dad after this hug? 

I still remember the story of a friend coming out to his mother. He said to his mom: “I’m sorry if this thing disappoints you. I don’t dare to ask for your blessing. I just hope that you can show some understanding.” Through a chat message, his mother could only briefly reply: “If your other half is a good kid, I will give you my blessing.”

Many people in a same-sex relationship don’t dare to confess to the older generation and they don’t dare to ask for their blessings. Their only hope is not to be hated. It’s like that facing this society, and it’s the case when facing your beloved family. When Wenhao and Shaofei met each other, Wenhao gave Shaofei a hug. This hug must have carried [Wenhao’s] unspoken blessing. 

No worries, dear father-in-law. I, Officer Meng, will take care of everything (pats on the back). 

Wenhao and Guodong together brings its own hint of romance.⁕ The fighting was very intense that day, so much so that the police dispatched a Quick Fight Force team in concern [for the situation]. 

⁕ The term that the author uses is 腐味 (fuwei, the taste of fu). The first character, ‘fu’ is the same ‘fu’ that is used in terms like fujoshi 腐女子 and fudanshi  腐男子 (which are Japanese) but it’s the same pronunciation for that first character. So the author implies that there might have been something more than friendship going on between Chen Wenhao and Tang Guodong. They imply the same thing later in the book as well (day 60, where the two are called a CP). 

Day 10

A Mei [Stanley] who portrays A De, said that he was the expert in getting beaten [in this drama]. I say that Stanley definitely dedicated himself to taking on that role. Many times his head bumped into the wall and the crew told him to take a break, but Stanley couldn’t stop yelling “no no, hurry up, I’m familiar with it now!”

All the way through the end Officer Meng and Vixen⁕ no.1, A De, cheered each other on before ‘Action!’ [was called]. 

⁕ The word for vixen is ‘fox spirit’  狐狸精 in Chinese. I love that and I could probably write essays on this subject. In classical Chinese literature, foxes were most of the time portrayed as (mainly female) temptresses who seduced males for sex and then didn’t shy away from sucking the soul out of them, kind of like a succubus. If anyone is ever in the mood for some academic literature about foxes in late imperial China, I've got you covered  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3237790-alien-kind

So A De and Andy are constantly referred to as these foxes who want to seduce Tang Yi and snatch him away in front of Shaofei’s eyes.

Qing Chun You Ni 3, Third Elimination Thoughts...

... and my personal top 9 going into the final.

I’m going to put this under a cut for spoilers reasons. I definitely have Thoughts. It’s going to be interesting to see how the move from 2-pick to 1-pick for the vote affects things for the final.

First of all, a sad goodbye to some trainees I really liked:

Jiang Jingzuo: I’ve liked him since Idol Producer and Tangram, and I really hope that things go smoothly for him from here. He’s so well rounded and has improved so much since IP and has such a lovely personality and dynamic with other contestants. I had hoped (and kind of expected) for him to get all the way to the final, even if I wasn’t sure that I believed in the chance of him debuting.

Wang Jiachen: I’m sad each time a member of Team Hunter leaves, they were one of the auditions that left the biggest impression on me. Also, Sun Yinghao gets so sad every time, and he’s my favorite, so that definitely contributes to me not wanting the others to be eliminated.

Cao Yu: Amazing dancer, and really great big brotherly energy towards a lot of the other trainees. Going to miss that for some of my favorites.

Chen Junhao: I just really like the music he makes, and he’s got great vocal and rap (and raps in a style I like, a rarity). He’s also really entertaining.

Zhang Siyuan: A rapper I like (again, this isn’t super common for me to like a rapper as a rapper) who is also an excellent vocalist. He’s also just got a really great dynamic with so many trainees, and it was fun to see him balance saying something very real about some of the remaining trainees skills while still not making it harsh.

Deng Zeming: Going to miss those vocals on the show. I wish he’d tried a few things a little further out of his comfort zone, he was so close to making it through.

There were other trainees that I liked (a lot of them at this point), but those are the ones that were eliminated this round that have been on my mind.

Some Disappointments from this Elimination:

(Other than eliminations)

Liu Jun dropping out of top 9. I’ve been worried that it might happen, and I do still hope that there’s a chance of him climbing back up. The vote margins are so tight from 8-20 honestly that there’s so much that could happen!

Several trainees who really just don’t have the debut skills ranking pretty high. I’m not going to name names, but you probably know who I am thinking about. I don’t mind any of them individually, and honestly find all of them at least charming to some degree. It’s going to be a strain on the group’s ability to be good performers if more than one of them breaks into the top 9 for the final though, and one of them seems nearly guaranteed to make it. This isn’t a new disappointment/worry, but it was a rather vivid one for this elimination.

Some Excitements from this Elimination:

Wang Nanjun made it through! I was worried about him, and I like him quite a bit. I’m glad that he’ll make it as far as the final even if I’m not sure that he has any sort of chance at debut at this point.

Yang Haoming made it through! Basically the same thing as Wang Nanjun, they’re both so talented, and I really enjoy their personalities and friendships on the show. I’m glad to see them both go to the finals.

Liu Guanyou into the top 9! He’s an excellent all around performer, and he’s adorable. I think that he’d be a really good part of the line up, and it’s good to see him getting that recognition.

Sun Yinghao (Kachine) having his rank go up a little! He is my favorite and he continues his steady climb. It makes me less worried for him going into the final.

Duan Xingxing staying in the top 9 (though going down a rank makes me antsy). One of the two stars of Team Hunter, and he’s also super well rounded as a performer.

Lian Huaiwei’s seeming stability in the upper rankings. He was someone I was worried might drop going from 9 pick to 2 pick, and he didn’t, which makes me less worried about him dropping going to 1 pick as well (though not completely unworried). I just want him to debut this time. He was so close in QCYN1.

My Personal Top Nine Going Into the Final:

Sun Yinghao (Kachine): Amazing dancer, and I really like his relationship with gender presentation. He’s a good, caring team member, and he’s a solid dance teacher (something that I expect that the final 9 may need a few of). Also just his attachment to his teammates and the way he cries over people leaving makes me soft. His vocals/rap do still need work, but considering that he came in with next to no vocal/rap training, and he has potential, I’m not too worried about it. One of the nice things about being in a group is that you can select lines for people based on their strengths.

Liu Jun: Amazing dancer, amazing choreographer, so very sweet and kind with other trainees, really good at teaching and breaking down dance for others (and look this is probably going to be a skill that the final team needs). Also charming and ridiculous. I really really want him to have the chance to be in the debut team because he seems to want it so much. Like with Yinghao, his vocals need some training, but he’s definitely got (a lot of) potential on that front.

Wang Nanjun (Krystian): It’s been creeping up on me how much I like him. If he wasn’t really all around skilled and a considerate teammate (it didn’t get focused on much, but there were a lot of snippets of him helping in the background of “Bamboo” practices after everything reshuffled), I could see how some of his personality might annoy me a little bit, but instead, it’s endearing to me, especially because of how the other contestants (especially Liu Jun) respond to him. I don’t have high hopes of him actually getting in (he just made it through this elimination), but I really do like him and want to see more from him.

Duan Xingxing: Another amazing dancer, also a really well-rounded contestant and performer just in general. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by his voice. I love how he’s so into cuter concepts despite initial impression.

Yang Haoming: He’s grown on me a lot as the show progresses! He’s amazingly well rounded, and he’s really held his own in very competitive stages! I want to see more performances from him.

Liu Guanyou: Another very versatile, well-rounded performer. His interactions with other trainees (especially Duan Xingxing) and how adorable he is really sell him as a final member for me.

Lian Huaiwei: He’s gotten so much better since QCYN1, and he was already honestly ready for the group then. I love how he’s meshed with this group, and I have really high hopes for him to debut.

Luo Yizhou: I’ve liked him pretty much from the start, and he’s finally making it onto my list. I do think that he’d make a good center (he did really well for the theme song), and he’s really well rounded, but also, excellent dancer. More vocal stability from him will definitely come with more training too.

Yu Jingtian (Tony) or Sun Yihang: I cannot choose which of the two I like more. I’ve liked Yu Jingtian since PDX101, and he’s gotten so much better since then, but he still feels incredibly young, and I’m worried for his current stress levels. He’s the slightly better rounded contestant of the two of them, but they’re both solid on that front. Sun Yihang appears in many ways to be the more mature of the two (sometimes that year-ish makes a big difference), and he’s an amazing dancer. I really love his dynamics with a lot of other trainees (especially Lian Huaiwei). Also, the idea of there being two SYHs in the group is really funny to me.

Thoughts on 2-Pick to 1-Pick:

Trainees with strong pair ups in voting are likely to take a hit from 2-pick to 1-pick, and the question becomes: how even is the actual vote distribution/which trainee takes more of the pair pick.

Some pairs that I feel like this could notably effect:

Sun Yinghao and Chang Huasen: My instinct on this one is that we’re going to see Chang Huasen drop several places from this, and Sun Yinghao will carry a lot of the 1-pick. I do know that Chang Huasen has a pretty dedicated following of his own, and I’ve not looked at the fundraising data enough to be sure, but the narrative being shown on the show very much seems like Sun Yinghao is the one carrying this, but it could definitely be a notable vote hit for him (I’m not too worried about his place in the top 9 though, just a little, especially because he’s my favorite). To be clear on this front, I think that Chang Huasen is charming and very pretty, but he’s very much nowhere near my top 9 because his skills are in need of quite a bit more work.

Duan Xingxing and Liu Guangyou: I feel like this is one where they might be a pretty even match up (though either Liu Guangyou picks up more spare second votes or has developed a stronger individual fandom based on him shooting past Duan Xingxing, my guess is on the former actually). This is concerning to me for both of their sakes because I could see it basically halving both of their vote rates. Hopefully they both have strong enough fandoms to carry them through.

Luo Yizhou and Tang Jiuzhou (Jojo): I suspect that this will hit Tang Jiuzhou harder than Luo Yizhou at this point (this might not have been true early in the season, but I do think that Luo Yizhou is very solidly one of the top fandom powers in the show at this point). I do think that most Tan Jiuzhou voters are probably also Luo Yizhou voters, and people who like the two of them as individuals pretty equally strike me as being more likely to vote for Luo Yizhou (the initial center, and much more skilled trainee) in 1-pick. However, while I predict there’s a good chance of Tang Jiuzhou’s rank dropping a little bit, I think that he’s pretty likely to stay in top 9. I’m honestly not sure that he’s ready to debut, but he does seem to work hard and is receptive to teaching, so I’m getting myself used to the idea.

Lian Huaiwei and Sun Yihang: This is another I suspect that there’s a pretty even split pair, and I’m worried that it’s going to negatively impact both of their rankings a fair bit for the final. I’m hoping that that’s not the case and that they both are able to hold onto their positions well.

A trainee that I worry might have a sudden drop because he strikes me as a potentially common second pick is Shi Qi (Chase Lee). He’s got great dynamics with a bunch of other trainees (including Yu Jingtian), and I worry that that will end up with him falling drastically.

Some Random Episode Thoughts:

I don’t love the ghost prank in general (though it’s a staple of this show at this point, so I’ve come to accept it will be a thing). But Sun Yinghao and Yang Haoming just being like, “Sorry I’m too busy having emotions to engage with this prank, let me cry,” was probably my favorite reaction that I’ve ever seen to these pranks (I am so soft for both of them about this).

I am really looking forward to mentor collab stages!

Hey sereia, do you have that pic of xingxing carrying both zhang siyuan and chen junhao in his arms or something bc I've been looking for it and couldn't find it (was it something I've dreamt of?)

Idk why I read this as Liang Sen instead of Xingxing, I put that pic but then said no its Liang Sen and I started to search this for 10 min then I got carried away with Yinghao pics then I realized now it said Xingxing here you go

If I find another one from different angle I will add it
