When Eliza heard Song Ci's answer, she snorted coldly and walked to the lounge next door in her high heels. After she left, Han Zhan asked Song Ci, "What bet did you make with her?"
Song Ci touched her nose before telling Han Zhan the content of the bet between her and Eliza.
After hearing this, Han Zhan frowned and said, "Nonsense!"
Song Ci stuck out her tongue, "Don't be mean to me, okay?"
Han Zhan's expression softened immediately. He showed a helpless expression and said to Song Ci, "Song Ci, if you lose to her, do you really have to admit that you are a loser?"
Song Ci opened her mouth and said in a very low voice, "If I really lose, I can only accept the loss."
"you!"
Han Zhan pointed at Song Ci's face and wanted to say something, but when he saw Song Ci's pitiful expression, he held back.
"You must win the award for me. If you don't, I'll make you pay!"
Song Ci nodded, patted his chest, and promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring you a championship!"
Han Zhan laughed again. "Don't be nervous. If you really lose, it's okay if you break the contract. She won't dare do anything to you. After all, I'm not dead. With me here, who can bully you?"
Song Ci finally relaxed, "With your support, I'm not afraid of anything."
Dinner was brought directly to the lounge. Song Ci was preoccupied with the evening's game, so she didn't eat much. After dinner, she ate some fruit, which finally made her feel full.
The competition officially started at seven o'clock, and Su Huanyan and the others arrived at the competition venue at half past six.
Song Ci received a text message from Song Fei, and she told Han Zhan: "Song Fei and the others have arrived and are already sitting at their table waiting."
"Um."
Han Zhan looked at the time and said, "It's only half an hour before it starts." He looked at Song Ci's makeup and noticed that the tip of her nose was a little smudged. He said, "I'll let Allen touch up your makeup."
"good."
Alan brought Nan Guanguan to the lounge, helped Song Ci fix her makeup, and re-tied her hair. After all this trouble, it was almost time.
"Let's go to the stage first."
"good."
Han Zhan helped Song Ci to the bottom of the stage. When they arrived, Eliza was also standing there waiting. Han Zhan sent Song Ci to the side of the stage and was asked to leave by the staff.
Song Ci and Eliza stood together. Eliza lowered her eyes to glance at Song Ci's belly and suddenly asked her, "How many months is the baby?"
Song Ci said: "It's more than eight months." People say that pregnancy takes ten months, but in fact, the baby is usually born around nine months.
Eliza said, "Then she's going to give birth soon."
"The baby is about to enter the pelvis. It will take another week or two for the baby to be born."
Eliza laughed in a nonsensical way. "Really? I'd rather not have a seizure on stage. That would be terrible."
Hearing this, Song Ci's brows twisted slightly into a Sichuan shape. She looked at Eliza thoughtfully, then suddenly turned and walked backstage.
"Where are you going?" Eliza was a little confused when she saw Song Ci leaving.
Song Ci ignored Eliza.
She went around to the back of the stage, found Allen, and said to him, "Alan, tell Han Zhan to get someone to keep an eye on Eliza for me. If anything happens to me during the performance, tell him to catch Eliza for me. Don't let her get away."
Allen was stunned when he heard this. "Why?"
Time was running out, and Song Ci had no time to explain. She just said, "Just convey my words to Han Zhan word for word."
"good."
Song Ci returned to the stage carrying her qin. The host called out their names. The camera panned toward the steps of the stage. Standing beneath the camera, Elisa smiled brightly and reached out to Song Ci.
Song Ci is pregnant, and Eliza's action shows that she is graceful and polite.
Song Ci couldn't act mean or rude, so she put her hand on Eliza's, and they both wore hypocritical smiles of "friendship first, competition second" on their faces, and went on stage together.
Standing in the center of the stage, Song Ci noticed with sharp eyes that Alan was leaning over and whispering something in Han Zhan's ear. After hearing what Alan said, Han Zhan suddenly looked up and looked at Eliza on the stage with a very unfriendly look.
He stared at Eliza for two seconds before his gaze fell on Song Ci's face, and Song Ci nodded at him.
Han Zhan understood what Song Ci meant. He stood up and walked backstage. He found Song Ci's bodyguards and told them, "Stay at the stage exit and keep a close eye on Eliza."
The bodyguards didn't ask why. They just had to do whatever Han Zhan ordered. "Yes!"
...
Eliza's performance was scheduled first. After the host introduced Song Ci and Eliza's identities, he asked Song Ci to sit in the audience and wait.
The symphony orchestra quickly came on stage, all the performers were in place, and Eliza walked to the front left of the stage holding the piano.
Chris strode onto the stage, turned around and bowed to the judges and the audience, then turned around and waved his baton.
The final performance was Mozart's Violin Sonata No. 18 in G major, K301, which lasts more than nine minutes and has two movements, one fast and one slow. This piece can fully reflect the performer's comprehensive musical quality.
Eliza knew the song by heart and performed it with ease. She was in great shape and naturally received thunderous applause after the performance.
After the grand performance, it was Eliza's turn to collaborate with her father.
When Idris came on stage, the applause from the audience was thunderous. When Shen Yubei saw Idris coming on stage, he subconsciously looked towards where Song Ci was.
Shen Yubei had heard other judges mention this backstage before, saying that Eliza attached great importance to this performance and invited her father over in order to win the championship.
The subtext is that Eliza encountered a strong opponent and she was not sure she could win the championship, so she invited her father to come and keep things under control.
Shen Yubei guessed who Eliza's rival was, and he felt both proud and worried about Song Ci.
Eliza has her father, the chief pianist of the first symphony orchestra of Country Y, in charge. Who else can Song Ci turn to?
Song Ci noticed Shen Yubei's gaze, and she gave Shen Yubei a calm and composed smile, a very faint smile, but full of confidence.
Shen Yubei was relieved and calmed down to appreciate Eliza's performance.
