Upon hearing this, Ai Fenfen perked up as if she had been injected with adrenaline, puffing out her chest instantly, "That's right! I still have you. Getting into the top three is already half the battle!"

Cat wasn't nervous at all. Her look was already done, and she was just waiting for Ai Fenfen. Bored, she took out her phone to play a match-3 game.

Ai Fenfen glanced to the side, then picked up her phone and took a picture of the cat playing a game, including a close-up of the game interface, but not of its face.

Because the guest performer is a confidential segment, she cannot reveal her identity yet.

He then posted a Weibo post with two photos.

—How bored is this person? (laughing and crying emoji) Guess who the guest performer is tonight? #ExtraordinaryOriginal #FinalNight #GoAifenfen

The Weibo post immediately attracted a number of comments from viewers of the program.

[Whoever she is! She's definitely super cute! Go Aifenfen! You're the best!]

These hands! I'm in ecstasy! As a hand fetishist, I'm breathless!

[I've checked the screen, it's the same elimination game!]

[Huh? Am I the only one answering the questions seriously? The guest performance segment is finally here! The girl is actually a member of Rice Soup Five Points Sweet, so the guest will most likely be chosen from among them... Millie and Zhou Xiaowu are filming a reality show, and they just posted photos from the set, so it's definitely not them. Tang Yuan...emmm...has been missing for a long time...By process of elimination, the most likely candidate is Jiu Maomao, who has recently become very popular!]

[The comment above is long, I agree!]

Ai Fenfen waited in the comments for a while, and when she saw this, she laughed, "If I could give him a thumbs up, I really would!"

The format for the top six is ​​as follows: first, a duet performance round is held to determine one person who directly advances to the top three. Then, two people are eliminated, and the remaining three compete in another round to determine the fourth place winner, thus creating the top three.

Finally, the top three teams competed to determine the third-place winner, runner-up, and champion.

The goal of the cat's help performance today is to secure a spot in the next round.

The match began shortly afterward!

While the host was introducing the competition format at the beginning, Maomao was waiting backstage, calmly playing her match-3 game.

The game was being broadcast live on television.

Now, a young woman appears, speaking in a sweet voice: "It's an honor that I've invited Feng Ying'er to be my guest performer today. I hope our collaboration will bring everyone a different kind of surprise."

The cat immediately looked away from its phone and at the screen.

Feng Ying'er walked out from under the spotlight, exuding extraordinary confidence.

"What a coincidence." Cat stroked her chin. She had lost the game too, so she simply threw her phone aside and gave up.

At this moment, the production crew came to interview the cat. This was to be added in post-production for the sake of the show's effect.

"Kitty, after so many years, you're collaborating with your best friend Ai Fenfen again. How are you feeling now?"

The cat said, "I'm in a great mood... This isn't the first time we've worked together in many years; the last time was on 'Sirius'."

"Today's guest performers are also very important. I'll let you in on a secret: the guest performers for the other contestants are also very strong. Are you confident you can help Ai Fenfen win?"

Cat looked at Feng Ying'er, who had already started singing, and smiled: "Cat only knows that the person who will advance directly will be Ai Fenfen!"

When it came to drawing the order of performances, Ai Fenfen drew the sixth one.

The cat watched everyone else perform before it was her turn.

She went backstage and appeared on stage via a lift.

When the camera focused on her face, the audience erupted in screams.

Ai Fenfen went up and hugged her, while the cat patted her on the shoulder.

Ai Fenfen took her hand, said nothing more, and as the accompaniment started, she began to sing.

In the competition "Extraordinary Originals," all the contestants submitted their own original songs, and this song was no exception.

"I Am a Princess" is a song that Ai Fenfen wrote five years ago. She rearranged the music and chose this song to return to her original intention.

Everyone has a dream in their heart.

A princess lives in my dream

Everyone wakes up from their dream

Lying in the thatched hut

Everyone goes to chase their dreams

Bruised and swollen face

Everyone looked back

Humble and bowing

...

I roared against the wind.

Chasing after the giant waves

A flame that torrential rain could not extinguish

The innocence that lightning cannot tear apart

"I am a princess"

The beginning is gentle, and the fairytale-like dream unfolds quietly. Stepping out of the dream, you gradually emerge into reality.

Ai Fenfen and Maomao took turns singing, gradually advancing the theme of the song, and the increasingly deep accompaniment also weighed heavily on the hearts of the listeners.

The brief pause in the middle, almost suffocating, made people feel as if they were witnessing the moment when they collapsed in reality!

However, Ai Fenfen suddenly burst forth! The climax was incredibly explosive, entirely sung by Ai Fenfen, while even though Maomao's singing skills were unparalleled, she only provided harmonies, building up layer by layer, elevating the second half of the performance to a whole new level! The harmony created a strong resonance, spreading layer by layer in the heart.

Finally, that resounding declaration, "I am a princess," returned to the main theme, soft yet firm, as if we had returned to that dream, and as if that dream had come true!

The lights went out for a few seconds, and the accompaniment gradually faded away.

When the stage lights came on again, thunderous applause erupted from the audience! The response was incredibly enthusiastic! The entire venue was filled with chants of Ai Fenfen's name.

Suddenly, Ai Fenfen turned around and hugged the cat, crying so hard on her shoulder that she almost collapsed.

The cat patted her and said, "Your makeup is ruined."

Ai Fenfen finally managed to calm down, and the host handed her a tissue. "A wonderful performance! And welcome our guest performer, Jiu Maomao!"

After the applause subsided, the host continued, "Judging from everyone's reaction, it's clear how amazing your collaboration was today. Ai Fenfen, may I know the story behind this song? Is there anything you'd like to share with everyone?"

Ai Fenfen took a deep breath before saying, "Although I wrote this song five years ago, it is a true reflection of my current situation. I am most grateful that I did not give up on myself, and I am most thankful to Maomao, who gave me the confidence to stand on the stage again..."

I hope that everyone who harbors dreams can persevere, never give up, and be their own princess! Pamper yourself!

The host laughed and said, "That's very well said, but the cruel part will have to be faced eventually."

Our top six contestants have all performed. Next, we will select one person to advance directly to the top three! Also, two contestants will be eliminated. Now, please welcome all our contestants and guest performers back to the stage.

During the scoring phase, everyone waited anxiously.

Ai Fenfen whispered to the cat, "Did I look really ugly when I cried just now?"

The cat nodded. "Mmm."

Ai Fenfen choked, "That's too direct!"

The cat asked her, "Aren't you nervous anymore?"

Ai Fenfen said easily, "I cried out just now, and suddenly I wasn't nervous anymore. My soul was elevated."

Just then, Feng Ying'er whispered, "When the results come out, you can still cry out, and your soul can be elevated once more."
