"My emotions are actually very complicated right now. Because some of my brothers and my sister are still down there. This time, everyone in <Dream>. It was really very tough..." Kunkun said and then stopped to stop himself from crying. "I saw everyone starting from, in the beginning, having completely no confidence to later finding their position."

"We love you, Kunkun!" I said as he once again struggled to continue his speech.

"I really was ignited. I was very touched. Thank you to our-" He began but PD interrupted him by giving him a tissue. After giving one to him, he came towards me and gave me one too, which I thanked him, of course. "Minghao. It really was very tough. I think we did it to be able to treat <Dream> like our own song. I hope you guys will not be too sad because this really is only the start of our dreams. We must work hard.

"Finally, Lin, even though we were not on the same team, you still helped us a lot during rehearsals and are one of the people on here who I trust the most. Your talent is unbelievable and you deserve to stand on stage, if not on this one, on another one. But you were meant to be a performer and your songs tell me I'm right." He said in between sobs. "I don't care if you will sit on that last seat or not because I know you tried your best and that you deserved it. Either way, I want you to always remember what I told you yesterday and that I'm one call away."

I was bawling my eyes out by this point and I couldn't help but stand up and give him a hug. After that, I went back to my seat.

"Also, congratulations to Justin, who received second place. He received a total of 20,287,719 votes." PD said. "Justin, is there anything you want to say?"

"Because when I first came to participate in the competition I was not really confident in myself because I thought I was not that outstanding. I was very unconfident. Every single gege and meimei gave me a lot of support."Justin said. "After coming to this show, I felt that the weight on my shoulders became heavier. I felt a lot of people were paying attention to me so I need to become a better me for everyone to see. After coming to this competition, I felt that I did it and I am very thankful for the Citizen Producers who support me. They make it possible for me to move to such a high position. This is a big type of support for me and I will definitely work harder. I hope that all of you don't cry and can go back and work even harder to become someone more outstanding than me. Someone who can be a lot better than me. Thank you, everyone."

Once he finished, they both went up to their seats and it was time to announce who would be on that 36th spot.

"Then, the remaining 24 trainees only have one seat." PD said. "Who exactly is the trainee who will seat in the last spot? Next, I will announce the four candidates who may sit in the 36th spot. Please look at the big screen."

After a few seconds, four faces appeared on the screen and I was shocked to see my face there as well as slightly hopeful.

The boys began yelling the names of Zuo Ye, Zhibang and Yanlei. I saw Qin Fen looking conflicted because he wanted to cheer for Zuo Ye so he looked at me with sorry eyes. It was honestly okay for me, it was normal for him to want to cheer for him.

Looking up, I saw some of the boys cheering for me too. This made me remember the time we were choosing the centre for the theme song. I remembered how, that day, only Chengcheng cheered for me. Slowly I had become closer and closer with the boys and felt more welcome.

"They are: OACA's trainee, Zuo Ye; Sparkling talent's trainee, Hu Zhibang; Ciwen Media's trainee, Dong Yanlei; and individual trainee, Zhu Lin. In the end, among this four people, who will sit on the last seat?" PD said. "Now, let's first take a look at the trainees in 39th and 38th place. Please look at the big screen."

A chart like the ones we were used to seeing after the live performances appeared. After torturous seconds that seemed almost like minutes, the name of the trainee in 39th place was finally revealed. It was Hu Zhibang with 1,493,599 votes.

We all then immediately clapped for him in an attempt to cheer him up.

After that, the name of the trainee in 38th place was revealed. It was Dong Yanlei with 1,696,000 votes.

"Leilei!" I muttered after gasping. I was really sad to have to see him leave.

I turned around and stretched my arm for him to hold my hand and he did.

"Jiayou!" He told me even though it was clear he was upset.

That left only Zuo Ye and I for 36th.

"The trainee in rank 36 who can continue to stay on Idol Producer is..."
