Chapter 76

Tan Li's crazy state, sometimes believing that the world is beautiful, and sometimes cursing everything in the world, continued until Tan Xinman's last performance.

As usual, Tan Xinman sent her an invitation text message.

Tan Li quietly looked at the invitation text message with a lively and intimate tone, and for no reason she developed a great disgust for herself.

Obviously, everything Tan Xinman did was to make her happy, but she not only did not appreciate it, but also wanted Tan Xinman to fall into the abyss to feel the pain of suffocation.

Tan Li only felt that her determination not to be assimilated by the main god system had become a joke at this moment.

She didn't want to be the dragon slayer who ended up in the evil dragon, so she chose to return to the real world, but now, she doubted that she had not escaped the curse of the main god system.

Tan Li stared at the text message from Tan Xinman for a long time.

The past and the present kept revolving in her mind, good and bad, flowers blooming on the blood-soaked land, and the hands stretched out from hell carrying the moonlight.

Tan Li slowly put down her phone, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes again, a trace of clarity was restored in her chaotic eyes these days.

"I won't become like that." Her voice was soft but firm, "Don't worry."

She promised to the void and started typing on her phone.

The first message was sent to Tan Xinman: I won’t go this time, you do your best.

The second message was sent to Tong Jing: Just support Tan Xinman at a normal scale, don’t be too outstanding.

After sending these two messages, she sent another message to Ying Heng: Are you still going on the global tour you mentioned before?

As soon as Ying Heng’s message was sent, two new messages were received on her phone.

Tan Xinman: Sister, aren’t you coming? This is the last performance, and the final debut spot will be decided in this performance. Sister, I hope you can see me on top.

Tong Jing: Okay, boss!

Tan Li remained calm and replied to Tan Xinman: I’m not going, I’m tired, you do your best.

Maybe it was because Tan Xinman's phone usage time was up or she finally stopped bothering him, but Tan Li didn't receive any more messages from Tan Xinman.

Likewise, she didn't receive any reply from Ying Heng.

Tan Li couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Ying Heng usually replied within seconds, so why did he suddenly stop?

But if she thought about it for a second longer, Tan Li felt a headache. She took a deep breath and emptied her mind.

**

Tan Xinman didn't go home after the final performance.

The confidentiality measures of "Idols from Today" were very good. No news was leaked online. No one knew the result of the final performance. Only after the last episode was broadcasted could we know who would be the debut spot.

During this time, Wu Xiu no longer asked Tan Li to go shopping. She and Tan Pei got up early and went to bed late every day, and sometimes they were not seen for a whole day.

Ying Heng also seemed to have disappeared from the world, and no longer brought her delicious food or fun things.

Tan Li felt quiet, but also vaguely... a little lonely.

This was the second time Tan Li felt lonely after her teammates died.

Perhaps in the time when she herself did not realize it, she slowly got used to the existence of some people.

Tan Li lay on the lounge chair in the garden with an empty mind. Winter passed unknowingly, the weather warmed up a little, and the sun was warm.

Tan Li squinted her eyes, looking at the sunlight shining through the clouds, and finally closed her eyes until her eyes became a little dark.

At that moment, her mind was clearer than ever.

Tan Li slowly got up, stared at her palm, and then slowly clenched a fist.

She raised her head, her eyes bright and shining.

"You want me to have a bad life, but I won't." Tan Li stretched her waist.

Tan Li was about to get up from the recliner when a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the room.

It was Wu Xiu.

Tan Li had just made a judgment, and the next second, Wu Xiu appeared behind the door.

"Da Li!" Wu Xiu waved to Tan Li vigorously.

Then, she trotted over.

"What's wrong?" Tan Li saw the red light between her eyebrows and her eyes sparkling, and couldn't help asking.

"Da Li," Wu Xiu slowed down her running and took a breath, "someone will come to our house in a few days to film a variety show!"

"...Ah?" Tan Li was a little confused.

Wu Xiu continued excitedly, "Xin Man has gone into the entertainment industry, she has taken on a variety show called "Loving Family", and will come to our house to record in a few days."

"...Ah?" Tan Li was even more confused.

Not only did Wu Xiu not look at Tan Li in confusion, she also held Tan Li's hand affectionately, "Then let everyone see how good the relationship between our family is~"

She now looked like a mother who couldn't help showing off when her child got 100 points in the exam.

"Wait," Tan Li hurriedly stopped Wu Xiu's excitement, "How come I didn't know about this?"

Wu Xiu looked innocent, "So I came to tell you?"

Tan Li: ...

The Tan family is such a big and wealthy family, and except for her and Wu Xiu, they are the only wealthy family that doesn't keep idle people. Which variety show is so big-hearted as to confirm the schedule a few days in advance.

After Wu Xiu said this, does she believe it herself?

Thinking about it, Tan Li began to look at Wu Xiu silently without saying a word.

Under her gaze, Wu Xiu finally couldn't resist and smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, the program team told us a long time ago. Didn't we want to give you a surprise?"

Tan Li: ???

There was no surprise, but there were a lot of shocks.

"Why so sudden?" Tan Li didn't understand. She couldn't understand how such a thing could suddenly happen.

Wu Xiu quietly looked at Tan Li and muttered, "You have been immersed in your own world recently, so of course you didn't notice it."

Tan Li: ...

It seems to be so, but...

Wu Xiu seemed to realize that she had said something wrong. She quickly covered her mouth and changed her words, "What's the big deal if it's sudden or not."

"Life is full of surprises~"

Tan Li:...

She now feels that she has no other thoughts except ellipsis.

Wu Xiu smiled, "Da Li, it's okay. Our family doesn't rely on these variety shows to make a living. Mom and Dad have already talked to the program team. Anyway, you just act like you usually do and don't worry too much about the camera."

"Let's just record it for fun. Just think of it as someone recording a documentary for our family."

"Mom has never recorded a variety show in her life. She is looking forward to it."

Tan Li: "...Haha."

She suspected that she was being cheated, and she had evidence.

No wonder Tan Pei and Wu Xiu have been missing recently, it turns out they were busy with this kind of thing.

Tan Xinman didn't go home after the talent show, probably because she was worried that the matter would be exposed and she would be beaten by herself.

I wonder if Ying Heng's sudden disappearance is also related to this matter...

Tan Li felt that she had finally figured it out in the last second and was ready to continue to be a person of love and peace, but was backstabbed in the next second and couldn't help but want to go crazy.

Fortunately, Tan Li was trained by the ups and downs of her mentality recently.

She rolled her eyes, "Okay, I haven't recorded a variety show either, I'm looking forward to it~"

A loving family?

She will definitely bring up the topic then!

Seeing Tan Li readily agreed, Wu Xiu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

**

The day before the recording of "Love Us", the last episode of "From Today Idol" was broadcast in front of the public.

This talent show has been frequently on the hot search since Tan Li's generous support, and then the hot search baton was passed to Tan Xinman, a contestant with extremely polarized evaluations.

From no popularity at the beginning to the whole network paying attention to the final debut list, it only took a few months.

Tan Li was pulled by Wu Xiu to see whether Tan Xinman could debut after dinner.

It must be said that there was no suspense.

In the final performance, Tan Xinman not only took the center position, but also sang a fast-paced and exciting song. In addition, she was far ahead in the online voting, so she was sure to get one of the 9 debut positions.

Tan Limo scanned her phone indifferently, just treating Tan Xinman's singing and dancing on TV as an insignificant BGM.

It was time to announce the final list of group players.

As the seats for the group were announced one by one, each successful contestant was either moved to tears when giving a speech, expressing gratitude to fans, mentors, and even the whole world, or holding back tears, expressing their nervousness, excitement, and determination to continue working hard in the future.

Until the last position.

Host: "Finally, it's the most exciting moment. We have only one spot left in the group, and this position will be the center of the new group, leading the team forward in the future."

The music began to become tense, and the remaining contestants whose names had not been called were all nervous under the camera.

Only Tan Xinman, when the camera scanned her, she was so calm that she didn't look like someone waiting for the verdict.

"The center position is..." The host stretched out his voice, created enough suspense, and finally said, "Tan Xinman!"

"Let us congratulate Tan Xinman for winning the last spot in the group, and also our C-position debut candidate!"

The applause was thunderous and the screams continued.

Although Tan Xinman was controversial throughout the talent show, and her dancing skills were not as good as those of professional dancers, and her singing skills were not as good as those of professional musicians,

she went from having few shots in Group F in the first episode to making it to Group A, and from having a mediocre dancing skill to attracting everyone's attention with every move.

She may not be the one with extraordinary talent, but she is indeed the most dazzling one on the stage.

The hope that someone can see her and the inner strength that spread from the bottom of her heart and hope that someone can get happiness from her make her shine far more than others.

In addition, she has many big-name fans, is the daughter of a rich family, and is the ex-girlfriend of former top star Ying Xu. She is indeed the most controversial one in the program, but at the same time, she is also the most convincing one.

After all, for many people, they first know the name Tan Xinman before they know the program "Idols from Today".

It can be said that the popularity of "Idols from Today" is almost entirely due to Tan Xinman.

Host: "Now, let's invite Tan Xinman to give her speech on the formation of the group."

As the host finished speaking, Tan Xinman walked towards the microphone.

Unlike other group members, Tan Xinman took every step steadily. She had a calm face. She was neither excited about debuting as the center nor burst into tears as if she was about to say a long and touching speech.

She just walked to the microphone calmly, raised her head, and looked straight at the camera.
