After Zhou Zhou and Jiang Zhixuan took the stage.
To give the last pair going on stage time to prepare, everyone refrained from disturbing them and instead chatted about their own things.
But Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian didn't really have anything to prepare.
Ji Qingqian then looked from behind the curtain towards the stage, ostensibly to "observe the enemy's situation."
But Lu Yibei didn't feel nervous at all.
While Ji Qingqian was assessing the situation of the enemy pair, her boyfriend started humming along to the song on the stage.
"Circles and circles, day after day, year after year, me every single day~~"
Ji Qingqian frowned, intending to warn him not to sing the same song as others.
It's not that I have any issues with the original singer.
Under these circumstances, she felt it was a bit unlucky to sing the same song as Zhou Zhou.
But Lu Yibei still hummed along.
"I'm staring intently at your face~"
"An angry face~"
"A gentle face with a hint of reproach~"
He was really looking at her face.
And she happened to have an angry face.
In the boy's gentle gaze.
Ji Qingqian remained silent.
Her anger dissipated instantly as the boy hummed his song.
There's a weak, listless feeling about having strength but nowhere to use it...
…never mind.
Ji Qingqian decided not to be angry anymore.
The song is innocent.
Jiang Zhixuan and Zhou Zhou finished singing.
Applause erupted from the audience.
It's not as good as Jiang Zile, but the response was still pretty good.
Many discerning people have seen it.
This rendition of "Jiangnan" was less of a duet and more of a performance where Jiang Zhixuan carried the entire show.
Zhou Zhou, who seemed to be sleepwalking on stage, gritted her teeth in frustration, but could only follow Jiang Zhixuan backstage.
She kept reminding herself.
Don't compare yourself to Jiang Zile, just surpass Lu Yibei.
Even if she sings badly, as long as Jiang Zhixuan is better than Lu Yibei, that's fine.
Only then could he barely maintain his haughty smile.
"Hey, junior."
Zhou Zhou had just returned backstage when she heard Jiang Zile calling Ji Qingqian, so she looked over.
Jiang Zile walked to Ji Qingqian's side, then looked at Lu Yibei:
"Oh, and there's Brother Bei too..."
Lu Yibei: "No, senior, you..."
Please, just call me junior.
Jiang Zile ignored Lu Yibei and spoke to the two of them on her own:
"Don't be too nervous, everyone."
While Ji Qingqian was "observing the enemy situation," she also glanced at the stage and noticed that Zhou Zhou was obviously weak, as if she was stage fright.
Although Jiang Zile wasn't exactly smug, he guessed it was probably because of her.
That's why I came here to remind this couple.
Jiang Zile, with his hands in the pockets of his denim jacket, said with a grin:
"If I'm going to win, I'm going to win fair and square. I won't let you use 'bad form' as an excuse to refuse to admit defeat, so don't be too nervous, it's okay."
Ji Qingqian wasn't very good at talking; she just nodded and hummed in agreement.
Lu Yibei said thank you.
Zhou Zhou: ? ?
So she's the only victim, right?
Even though she felt wronged, she couldn't bring herself to blame Jiang Zile.
Firstly, it is one's duty not to offer comfort, but rather a favor.
Jiang Zile had no reason to comfort her.
Secondly, she felt that if she criticized Jiang Zile, not only would her powerful backer... but even Jiangnan University would be in trouble.
As Fu Chi announced the program.
Ji Qingqian extended her pale white hand to her little boy, and the boy returned her hand.
She held it tightly.
After Lu Yibei showed a relaxed smile, she responded with a smug look and slightly raised eyebrows.
Both of them were telling each other in ways they were familiar with.
—I wasn't nervous at all.
"Let's go," Lu Yibei said.
"Um."
Ji Qingqian nodded and moved her feet lightly.
The two walked towards the stage.
Ji Qingqian and Zhou Zhou passed each other by.
Ji Qingqian clearly sensed that Zhou Zhou glared at her.
But feeling the warmth from the boy's palm, she suddenly wasn't so angry anymore.
For a time, she hated Zhou Zhou to the core and even couldn't understand Abei's nonchalant attitude towards her.
But at this moment, she understood somewhat what Abei was feeling.
Ah Bei simply ignored it.
This is an emotion of even greater contempt than cursing or hating.
Ji Qingqian didn't want to say anything more to Zhou Zhou, even if Zhou Zhou gave her a resentful look.
At this moment, Ji Qingqian had only one thought in her mind.
She wanted to walk onto the stage with Ah Bei and face the excitement and grandeur of being surrounded by hundreds and thousands of people.
She held his hand.
They are together.
They need to do a good job with this performance.
Under Zhou Zhou's gaze, Ji Qingqian never turned around once.
It won't succeed.
Zhou Zhou said to himself, "Jiang Zile is such a bright gem."
This will make her subsequent performances pale in comparison.
It might even become so dim that it's impossible to tell whether she or Jiang Zhixuan, or Ji Qingqian or Lu Yibei, is less vibrant.
Tsk.
Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue in amazement. So, which genius came up with the idea of putting Jiang Zile in the third-to-last position?
Why doesn't she just be the headliner?!
However, after turning around, Zhou Zhou turned back to look at Ji Qingqian's back.
But Ji Qingqian had already left the backstage area.
Before going on stage, Zhou Zhou's gaze was focused on the stage, but he only realized it after he went offstage.
Ji Qingqian is dressed...very formally.
Zhou Zhou wasn't the only one who thought this way; many viewers shared the same opinion.
