Everyone was busy for the next few days.
The mentors also moved between the various practice rooms, guiding the trainees in adapting some of the pieces.
Some contestants even lived in the practice room, which shows their effort and importance attached to the finals.
It is worth mentioning that Tong Xinhui announced her withdrawal from the competition.
The specific reasons were not disclosed.
Any information involving "water solubility" is currently classified as confidential, otherwise it could easily cause public panic.
This sparked discontent among her fans, who then directed their anger at the beneficiary of the situation – Jiang Lianyin.
They say the show's production team is rigging things, and Jiang Lianyin is a member of the royal family...
Upon hearing this, the mentors immediately came forward to refute the rumors and quell the situation, but the most innocent victim, Rei-yin, still suffered considerable harm...
Then, this guy ran to Yu Jianing's room and cried for comfort!
It took Xiao Ning more than an hour to calm her down.
If she hadn't asked at the end if she could stay the night, Xiao Ning would have really thought she cared about it!
"Is it really not possible?" Lianyin looked at Xiaoning pitifully.
"No! Go back now!"
.
On the day of the match, the area outside the stadium was packed with fans.
The most prominent among them were the "little lemon spirits" (a term for girls who are envious of others' feelings), whose yellow support signs were truly the most eye-catching!
[When I met Xiao Ning, her face was all yellow!]
[Little Lemon is so cute, it's a little bit erotic!]
Jia Ning listened to the fans chanting slogans while doing her makeup backstage.
Her heart had hardened like a stone!
Silently telling myself, "Don't get angry, don't get angry, murder is against the law..."
[It's not that I particularly favor chrysanthemums among flowers, but the lemons have turned astringent and lost their yellow hue!]
"Damn it! Who is this?!" Yu Jianing couldn't take it anymore and was about to rush out to punch the person shouting slogans.
"Don't move!" Qu Jianyi frowned and pressed Xiao Ning back into the chair.
"They said I'm lewd!"
Qu Jianyi: "What you said wasn't wrong, was it?"
Xiao Ning: "..."
·
After their makeup was done, the 18 trainees were invited back to the stage.
They were all covered with blankets, clearly because their costumes couldn't be exposed before the performance.
This has really raised fans' expectations to the max!
"Dear audience members, both in person and watching on your phones, after three months of practice and selection, 'Go! Idol' is finally bringing us to the most exciting night of forming the group. Now, please welcome the mentors to the stage to announce the competition rules!"
The host excitedly read the opening remarks, and Fu Yachi and the other four slowly walked onto the stage.
"You've been practicing for three months, and you all want to walk the flower path, right?" Meng Shuangcheng looked at all the girls with a smile.
"think!"
"I'm going to give you a good performance in a bit, and bring out your best!"
Frost City rallied the troops, and Yachi began to announce the rules of the finals:
"The competition is conducted in a two-on-two PK format. The challenged person has the right to refuse once. The audience is responsible for voting, and the eight people with the most votes will debut as a group."
"However! Please choose your PK opponent carefully, because if you lose the PK, no matter how many votes you get, you won't be able to form a group!"
Ya Chi's words calmed down Xiao Puti, who had originally planned to blindly pursue Jia Ning.
If she wins, she will never see Xiao Ning again; if she loses, she will still never see Xiao Ning again!
Is there even a need to choose?!
Thinking that Bai Putuo directly challenged a stranger in the PK battle, he decided to do so.
The contestant was completely stunned. You, the second-place finisher, are beating me, the ninth? Have you no shame?!
(PS: Because Tong Xinhui withdrew from the competition, Jiang Lianyin rose to eighth place.)
So she refused without thinking, and then a message popped up: Yu Jianing requests to challenge you to a PK, and you no longer have the chance to refuse.
"You've gone too far! Have you no humanity at all?!"
Xiao Ning saw the ninth contestant glaring at her and smiled nonchalantly.
"The rules don't say you have to challenge someone of equal skill. Besides, what if you win?"
After everyone had chosen their opponents, Xi Tong and the others tacitly chose strangers.
After all, we can't let them kill each other and let the people below benefit from it, can we?
Other contestants: "I don't think I'm here to participate in a talent show, I think I'm here to fight a boss? The top eight are shameless in order to debut together!"
Bullet comments—
[Hilarious! Xiao Ning and her friends are ruthless. I wonder how traumatized their opponents are!]
They really turned the final into a horror game!
But seriously... is this really a good idea? Isn't it unfair to the other players?
[Upstairs, this is a talent show! The production team wants to select the strongest girl group of the new generation. Are they really going to make Xiao Ning and the others eliminate themselves and choose a few less talented ones to come up?]
[Stop arguing, nobody's curious about what Xiao Ning will wear for her performance this time? She chose the song herself, you perverts should know what I mean, right?]
Hehehe~
...
The competition officially began, and Jiang Lianyin was the first to take the stage.
Her opponent also specialized in vocal music, so there was little need for stage preparation.
The staff moved a chair to the center of the stage, and Lianyin, carrying a guitar and wearing a simple black sundress, walked onto the stage.
"The piece I'm performing is 'Xingkong Mountain'..."
Yu Jianing was stunned for a moment. This was different from the song she had performed for me before? She changed the song?
Jiang Lianyin sat in a chair, plucking the strings of her zither, her eyes devoid of desire as she played and sang.
"Seeing you off for a thousand miles, until the towering mountains turn into plains..."
"As we part, saddened by separation, let us drink a few ounces of sake..."
Her voice was both melancholic and resonant, so cold it seemed devoid of emotion, yet perfectly suited to the lyrics.
He didn't even have any facial expressions while singing, giving people a broken kind of frankness?
"Half-awake, half-drunk, day after day..."
"Year after year, without wind or rain."
Bullet comments—
Wow! This is amazing! I'm completely blown away!
[Uh… I think I know why Xiao Lianyin got so few votes. She's a vocalist, but aside from the ranking stage, she hasn't been selected to sing at all! How unlucky is she?!]
【Yeah, my little one is having such a tough time. She's hopeless at dancing. If it weren't for Xiao Ning constantly helping her learn the choreography, she would have been eliminated long ago!】
[Our caviar couple is definitely the best to ship!]
...
"A dashing young man in his youth..."
"How many old men have died before the martial world..."
"Even if I were old and frail, I could return again..."
"No news at all, my spirit remains in the empty mountains..."
Jiang Lianyin finished her performance: "Thank you for listening!"
After speaking, she bowed to the audience and left the stage, exuding an aura of indifference towards the future.
But her cool demeanor didn't last three seconds; she was caught by Xiao Ning as soon as she got backstage.
"Well done, little Lianyin, you've grown up. You know how to be wary of your older sister now~"
Jia Ning wrapped her arms around her neck and nudged her head with her knuckles.
"No... um... no! I was going to tell you, but you were too busy dancing that day..."
"Oh, so you're blaming me now?"
Xiao Lianyin quickly begged for forgiveness: "No, no, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
