Chapter 158 The Fourth Performance 27.0

Even after the ending pose, when the close-up shot moved away from Lu Wei and the others, the cheers from the audience showed no signs of fading.

Surrounded by warm emotions, everyone had bright smiles on their faces, which reminded people of the clear sky after the rain, without a trace of haze, clear and refreshing, clean and bright.

“It’s youth~~~”

"My body is warm."

"Oh no, it's a heart-pounding feeling."

"I'm crying. Please fulfill my 23-year-old wish and do it again!"

"How can someone smile so beautifully?"

"On stage, she's a cool queen, and off stage, she's a girl next door."

The voices of the audience were transmitted to everyone's ears through the in-ear monitors. Han Shuying, Song Yujie, Jiang Yilin and others looked at each other, and their smiles became wider.

Lu Wei did not join the staring. She looked from left to right, from top to bottom, at the audience holding her cheering banner, with a raised corner of her mouth and a slight nod of greeting.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary controversy and exposing her supportive friends to unwarranted attacks, she did not make any obvious moves this time.

The audience was captivated by Lu Wei's smile, their eyes inexplicably filled with tears. People often say that when you laugh, you look towards the person you love most. So, she and "them" were heading in opposite directions, right?

Unfortunately, before everyone could clarify the definition of "self-strategy", the process started to move forward.

Lee Jae-hyun walked onto the stage, microphone in hand, and, putting down his cue, said, "Thank you to the Night team for their wonderful performance. Thank you for your excellent interpretation of this song. Everyone completed this stage mission, 'A Moment of Eternal Fireworks,' very well. I'm sure the star promoters will also have this magnificent performance deeply imprinted in their memories."

After hearing Lee Jae-hyun's words, the audience shouted:

"Not a fleeting firework! But a star that never falls!"

"Xiao Wei will always shine in the sky!"

"Come on! I will try my best to remember this performance and this day."

Even though the concept is attached with the word "eternal", everyone still hopes that the contestants who are in front of them and who have brought them endless touching moments can be given better adjectives.

Hearing this answer, Lu Wei couldn't find any other way to express her gratitude, so she could only bow forward again. In order to prevent her teammates from being swept away, she raised her palms in advance and gently touched the teammates on both sides.

A warm feeling ran through An Zhuxuan and Song Yujie's hearts. They raised their arms, placed them on the backs of their teammates on both sides, and bent down together.

The movements are incredibly fast, and there is no time difference visible to the naked eye. It feels very natural.

Li Jae-hyun stood quietly aside, without saying a word to steal the show, making this interaction and this scene even more heartwarming.

Seeing the contestants straighten their backs, she raised the microphone and asked, "Everyone knows that this is the first time that contestant Lu Wei has actively fought for the center position. I'd like to ask what Lu Wei was thinking and feeling at the time."

When this question was asked, the audience slowed their breathing and looked at the person with their wide, expectant eyes. The follow-up interview only mentioned questions such as whether they had confidence in themselves and what to do if they didn't get the prize.

There's really no mention of why she made such a change.

After all, Lu Wei before this wasn't exactly a socially anxious person, nor was she a socially inclined person. She always had a kind of go-with-the-flow vibe. What kind of sudden enlightenment had allowed her to suddenly advance?

Not only were the audience curious about this, but teammates like Song Yujie and An Zhuxuan were also very curious, and there was a strange light in their eyes when they looked at Lu Wei.

All I can say is that people who eat melons will always eat them.

Lu Wei understood everyone's situation very well, so she didn't beat around the bush and answered directly: "From the beginning of the competition until now, most of the time I have been pushed forward. For this, I feel very sorry, very sorry for my friends who support me. So I want to work hard and try my best in the areas where I can do well, and take that step. I really appreciate everyone's support. Thank you."

After he finished speaking, Lu Wei leaned forward and bowed deeply.

"No need to apologize! Xiao Wei, you're right!"

"Baby is great! She always does her best on stage!"

"Don't talk nonsense! You are not worthy of anyone!"

The audience who had come to the scene specifically for Lu Wei responded loudly. In their minds, someone who had done nothing wrong in the first place didn't need to apologize for something like this.

After being shocked, the other audience members were whispering to each other in groups of three or four.

"I don't know why, but I don't feel any ill will towards this sister."

"Me too, it's really not easy for Hu Dou to achieve what Lu Wei has achieved."

"Judging from the results, she didn't actually give up. Each performance was more exciting than the last, and her dedication was evident to the naked eye."

"I never thought she was competing for C because of this. I thought she wanted more camera time and attention."

"Don't call her Lu Wei anymore, call her Lu Hui."

"Every move she makes is full of seduction, and passersby will be beaten into die-hard fans by her."

"Forgive me, Yuebao, for letting me climb the wall for a short while."

"Only the Emperor defies the Heaven, I surrender."

"Because the fans feel they are wrong, because the fans want to fight for it, if this is not a growth idol, then what is?"

The contestants in the waiting room were buzzing. The high-ranking contestant had actually implicitly admitted to having no ambition. Oh my god, it was only Lu Wei. Anyone else would have been ridiculed by the opposing team's fans.

Li Enxing was stabbed in the chest again, and the urge to spit blood was very strong. She apologized, but she was met with a cold face, while Lu Wei received comfort.

Ultimately, the stage is the main factor that determines the audience's attitude.

Kim Yoo-ri was speechless. She was always choked by Lu Wei's remarks and had long been accustomed to it. This person was very good at timing. Apologizing in the fourth public performance not only comforted the fans but also put an end to his previous behavior.

If she had analyzed her inner thoughts earlier, before her foundation was solid, the outside world would have thought she was quibbling and acting, and even her fans would have doubted her sincerity.

Now it is just right. With four excellent performances as a foundation, Lu Wei no longer needs to defend herself, but she still did it. It only shows that she really feels sorry and thinks she has let down her fans.

Oh... forget it, Jin Youli sighed silently in her heart.

With the right time, place and people, it is really difficult for others to surpass us.

After hearing this, An Zhuxuan, Song Yuji and others lost all their curiosity and felt that they had humiliated themselves. They knew that Lu Wei liked to play cards unconventionally and his mind just wouldn't turn around.

Li Zaixian smiled and took over the conversation, his tone softening several times. "I think the star promoters have received contestant Lu Wei's gratitude and thanks. As long as everyone sticks to their original intentions and strives towards their goals, right and wrong are actually not that important."

"Uh-huh!!!"

"I will always support Xiao Wei!!!"

"Jaehyun-sister is right!!!"

The audience enthusiastically echoed the sentiment. They were slightly hurt and worried that Lu Wei would become depressed because of these things. Although Lu Wei had always acted strong, in their hearts, she was always a little girl who needed protection.

Lu Wei stood up and politely thanked Li Zaixian, then nodded vigorously towards her seat in the audience. She knew what was right and wrong, and this apology had been delayed for a long time.

No matter what others think, in her heart, she is not innocent. However, from beginning to end, she only feels sorry for her friends who support her, not for anyone else.

Don't think of her as a Mary Sue.

Lee Jae-hyun nodded slightly in response and changed the topic to someone else: "I want to ask contestant An Ju-hyun, is there any difference between being the captain and being a member of the team?"

An Zhuxuan's heart skipped a beat. The questions they asked to them and [Burning Flame] today were all so sharp. The program crew had some conscience, but not much, and it was not reflected in them.

She didn't have Lu Wei's confidence, nor the courage to tell the truth, so she could only play Tai Chi and say, "Actually, there's no difference. The captain and the team members are all part of the team, and they're all working hard for the stage."

“Wow!!”

The audience had watched Tai Chi Feng Yun so many times that they simply cheered and clapped their hands to show that they heard it and then stopped shouting.

"It's a good talk, don't talk about it next time."

"Let's do some Taekwondo, maybe it will be more interesting."

"They are all so cunning and cunning, their mouths are full of lies, and they have no human nature at all."

"Normal. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make."

Li Jae-hyun did not ask any further questions, but asked the other people in the team equally. Whether it could be edited or not was the business of the production team.

"Okay, the voting channel is about to open. Does anyone have anything to say to the star promoter?"

Captain Jiang Yilin was the first to pick up the microphone and gave a regular three-part speech. It was nothing new, but safe enough.

The votes were not pulled, and her ranking did not allow her to behave in this way.

Han Shuying's previous attempts to play the victim didn't have the desired effect, but this time she acted "slightly" normal. Apart from praising her current teammates, she didn't do anything else out of the ordinary.

"I feel like laughing. I even rubbed it against Xingxing Chacha."

"This is a world where only Kong Yufei is sad."

"It's still mildew."

"I don't understand how she can win without doing anything."

"I'm so angry! After the show airs, I'm going to analyze it frame by frame to find out why Feibao was voted out."

"The more I think about it, the sadder I get. Yufei didn't sing the song I chose for her, but that damn Yingcha did."

Sitting in the waiting room, Li Enxing and Kong Yufei's expressions remained unchanged, but their gazes grew colder. Although they knew thanking their current teammates was essential, the thought of the person on stage being an old acquaintance of theirs filled them with a knot of anger, a feeling they couldn't shake.

An Joo-hyun gave her speech after Han Seo-young. She knew that talking too much would bore the audience, so she simply said her name and words of thanks before putting down the microphone.

She has a keen eye for opportunities to demonstrate her emotional intelligence.

When it was Lu Wei's turn, she looked at the audience earnestly and said sincerely, "Thank you all for taking the time to come and watch our performance today. You've all worked hard, and I hope you didn't disappoint me. There may be many opportunities to meet you all in the future, but for me, every moment I have with you is worth remembering. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, everyone is unique. I love you all, and you should love yourselves too."

"ah!!!!"

"Xiao Wei!!!"

"I like you too!"

“You are unique too!!!”

The first-time audience and the second-time European emperors were all moved by Lu Wei's speech. Everyone always likes blatant favoritism and will always be moved to tears by it.

Even after the canvassing session ended, the bitter feeling in their hearts lingered on and lingered in everyone's minds.

No one felt wronged or uncomfortable, but when they were infinitely close to the light source, in addition to being moved, they were also a little scared. They were afraid that such a moment would be like quicksand, the tighter you hold it, the faster it will disappear.

Although the other audience members at the scene did not make any shouting movements, their souls were half sucked away, and the word "envy" overflowed from their pupils.

Who doesn’t want to be treated specially by their idol?

The moon bowed its head, the stars bent their waists, this feeling was really great. They said that Lu Wei was charming and had countless little tricks, but their hearts were still touched.

"I've noticed that this sister never gives perfunctory speeches. She always puts her heart into it. She's a rare idol with a long tongue in the entertainment industry."

"A contestant who is exceptionally thoughtful and has high emotional intelligence, only gave up on smoothing things over here and didn't use the three-paragraph speech rule. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry."

"What on earth did Lu Wei grow up eating? I'll go buy some to feed my hudou."

"I really don't want to hear official rhetoric. I hope other contestants can learn from it."

"Oh, I can already imagine Lu Wei's future. She'll make a lot of money."

"Indeed, this sister has a mouth that can make money."

The teammates on the stage and the opponents in the waiting room had no reason to criticize Lu Wei. Everyone would say it after the fact. They could indeed do it, but considering the reality, they could never take that step.

Regardless of whether there is popularity to support it or not, it is difficult to change the way of doing things.

Moreover, everyone has been suffering from their character setting for a long time. Many things cannot be said just because they want to. They need to think carefully before speaking.

The audience, filled with emotion, cast their votes. The stage was as great as ever, Lu Wei was as dazzling as ever, and his speech captivated everyone.

A rebellious mentality won't help at all.

The voting channel was quickly closed. Lu Wei waved to the audience, made a big heart shape with his hands, and left amidst shouts of reluctance.

Utopia has expired and the renewal link is closed.

The audience sighed when they returned to reality, picked up their personal belongings, and walked out of the venue.

"The aftereffects of the fourth performance were so strong that my legs are a little weak and my chest is stuffy."

"[night's] performance was a real emotional drain. I felt dizzy after watching it. Coupled with Lu Wei's speech, I was completely lost."

“Don’t make this repo post too easy to write.”

"There were only five teams in total, and they wrote a 500-word report."

"I don't think so. After enjoying all the delicacies, I feel a bit down on the three teams ahead of me. I can't remember what they performed at all."

"Don't be ridiculous. Are you aquatic? Three-second memory?"

"That's hilarious! It's just an exaggeration, don't take it too seriously."

"I guess Wei Huang will win again."

"There's no difference in strength between the two teams, the difference lies in their infectiousness."

"They are all god-level stages, there is really only a slight difference."

"Let's go, stop guessing. Today ends so early, let's go back and let others envy us."
