"System, did you hear that? Change your line next time. She doesn't want to hear this one anymore."
System NP dismissed the question: "Whether she wants to hear it or not is none of your business. Just read it aloud."
Shu Wangyue rolled her eyes. She could imagine how Song Qi would react after she did this.
She had also witnessed Song Qi's sharp retorts.
I don't want to be the one getting roasted yet.
She was now fairly certain that Song Qi and she were the same kind of beings.
After all, the character's image has completely collapsed.
She seemed like a completely different person from Lu Nanyin in front of her.
However, having learned her lesson last time, Shu Wangyue dared not ask any more questions.
She was just envious; why didn't the other person's system care about her ruining her persona?
She's got the female lead's script, even the system she has is the same kind of treatment a female lead gets.
Her system is a complete rip-off.
Shu Wangyue sighed, looked at herself in the mirror, and turned back to the lounge.
She appears out of nowhere and causes trouble for the female lead for no apparent reason; this is probably the character design of the villainous female supporting character in this story.
Song Qi and her group's performance was the grand finale.
Combining singing and dancing is extremely difficult.
Song Qi did almost all of the rap, and the others initially tried to take over the rap, but found that they couldn't keep up with the breath control at all.
Because it was the final performance, each program had its own preparation room.
Song Qi watched TV quietly, seemingly living in a completely different world from the chattering people next to her.
She tugged at her skirt and leaned back on the sofa.
"Host, if you feel nervous, take a deep breath."
Song Qi was startled by the system that suddenly popped up and frowned: "What's there to be nervous about? It's no different from before."
"Host, is there any need to be shy?"
"I'm not nervous when commanding a war involving hundreds of millions of people, but you're telling me I'm nervous about something in the virtual world? Also, please let me know next time you come out."
Even if she was a little nervous at first, she's a seasoned pro now, so there's absolutely no way she'd be nervous.
On television, the camera happened to focus on Shu Wangyue, whose smile and voice were both sweet.
When a high note was hit, applause erupted.
The others started chattering even louder.
Song Qi rubbed his temples.
Song Qi hadn't watched any of the other people's programs beforehand, but after watching them, she still felt that their own program was the best.
She glanced at the group of people hugging each other and gave a slight smirk.
Shi Xinyu remained calm, resting her chin on her hand while watching TV. She occasionally frowned when she saw Shu Wangyue. Noticing someone staring at her, Shi Xinyu looked over, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Why are you staring at me for no reason?"
"Can't I just look at you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Shi Xinyu muttered softly.
Because there were cameras nearby, they didn't dare to go too far.
Song Qi was getting a little bored while waiting.
I don't know why the host talked so much.
She rested her chin on her hand and yawned casually.
When it was their turn, it was almost 9:30. Song Qi rubbed his shoulders and led his people onto the stage.
This stage is larger than the previous ones, and it can accommodate several times more audience members.
Song Qi stood in the middle, surrounded by darkness. Just as a beam of light shone on her, the music started playing.
It begins with an a cappella performance.
The light slowly spreads out from the center; the front is calm, but the style suddenly changes in the back.
Song Qi remained calm; many things had become physical movements, requiring no conscious control, his hands and feet automatically dancing to the music.
Her rap was better than last time.
There's also a section of opera singing in the middle.
The song has many elements, but it doesn't feel chaotic; they are blended together perfectly.
Throughout the entire performance, Song Qi smiled, just as the lyrics suggested, which elicited screams from the audience.
While most of the others were slightly out of breath, Song Qi was almost completely out of breath, making him stand out perfectly against the backdrop of those around him.
Their group had bad luck; when they drew this song, two of the girls burst into tears.
Shi Xinyu originally wanted to cry, but Song Qi stared at her for a minute and forced her to hold it back.
Song Qi kept observing how many light boards he had.
It used to be just a small patch, but now there's a large patch of light blue.
She suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.
This feeling is strange.
At the very end, she heard voices calling her name.
She heard it very clearly.
They were the last performers.
The rest of the time, until the results were announced, consisted of very tedious and lengthy explanations.
Song Qi resumed his expressionless standby state.
Everyone returned to the stage.
She clenched her fists and took a deep breath.
"I told you you were nervous."
"Shut up," Song Qi said irritably.
After this performance, she will go back to prepare for the college entrance examination.
It's already the end of May, and there are less than ten days left until the college entrance examination.
The host has already started announcing the name of the tenth person.
The first and top three winners are always announced last.
Each person has to give a five-minute speech and interact with the host.
Song Qi was very grateful to the production team for giving her a spot; otherwise, she might have really turned around and left.
She glanced at Shi Xinyu beside her; the other woman looked very nervous and was taking deep breaths.
Shu Wangyue appeared much calmer.
More than half an hour later, the rankings from tenth to fourth place have all been announced.
Shi Xinyu's breathing became heavier.
The eleventh person was someone Song Qi wasn't very familiar with. After the girl went on stage, she cried without saying a word.
"Will you cry?" Song Qi asked in a low voice.
Shi Xinyu glanced at Song Qi: "Why are you so annoying? What's wrong with crying a little?"
"Don't cry too ugly, or you'll lose followers."
Shi Xinyu: ...
When the third-place winner, Shi Xinyu, was called, she paused for a moment, glanced at Song Qi beside her, and jumped off the chair. She looked very excited and walked quickly toward the host, trying to appear calm, but almost jumped up instead.
Song Qi was speechless.
The second place went to Shu Wangyue.
Shu Wangyue calmed down considerably, hugged the people around her, and then walked towards the host with the poise befitting a lady from a prestigious family.
He even exchanged a glance with Shi Xinyu from afar.
Song Qi roughly knew his ranking.
However, Song Qi was still stunned when he heard his own name.
She got up and hugged the person next to her, her face still showing little smile, only a hint of amusement in the corners of her eyes.
"Still no smile." The host looked at Song Qi and sighed, "Do you know about the super topic about you online?"
"I don't know, I haven't used my phone much."
"They're called the Lu Nanyin Smile Capture Team. I wonder how many people are waiting to take screenshots today."
"Really?" Song Qi waved at the camera. "I've been practicing my wink a lot lately. It's a bit ugly, but I feel like I can show everyone the results of my practice."
The host laughed, naturally indicating that he wouldn't disagree.
Song Qi winked at the camera, a bright smile on her face.
Three seconds later, everything returned to normal, as if the smile had never appeared on Song Qi's face.
However, the screams from the audience continued unabated.
Song Qi lowered his head and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.
"I tried my best, please don't say it's ugly."
System NZ silently recorded everything Song Qi had just done and then quietly posted it on their system forum, along with a photo of Song Qi wearing Lolita last time.
The forum is newly launched, and it seems to have excellent features; it's entirely an anonymous forum.
[System A: I can't believe this person is Song Qi :)]
[System B: ???]
[System C: Don't tell me it's that Song Qi, really?]
[System A: Would I post something fake?]
System NZ felt a surge of pride as he looked at his post that had been marked as "hot".
The entire live stream lasted for about four hours.
As Song Qi went down, he felt like his whole body was about to fall apart.
The only good thing is that they can go home tonight.
After several months, Song Qi finally got his phone back.
She had already packed her things, and most of them had been taken away during the day, leaving only a small bag.
She had other plans, but she took leave because the college entrance exam was approaching.
After standing at the door for a while, Shu Wangyue also came out.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Song Qi speak from the side.
"You must be very proud of getting first place."
Shu Wangyue hadn't reacted yet.
"Let me tell you, even if you get first place, it doesn't mean anything. Don't think you're above me now."
Shu Wangyue: ...
"Alright, is there anything else you'd like to add?" Song Qi cleared his throat.
Shu Wangyue glanced at Song Qi and said dryly, "I have nothing to say."
System NP: This female lead is toxic!
"I hope you can smile after the college entrance exam," Shu Wangyue added.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely laugh. Just don't cry." Song Qi put his hands in his pockets and watched the car with its hazard lights on drive past.
Shu Wangyue pursed her lips and followed.
Shu's parents came to pick them up.
Song Qi had already spoken to Lu's parents on the phone and told them about it.
The previous paternity test results proved that they are indeed related by blood.
"Mom and Dad," Song Qi called out.
"I'm here," Mr. Shu chuckled sheepishly.
Shu Wangyue also called out immediately.
"Alright, alright, everyone hurry up and get on the bus."
Song Qi crawled inside, and Shu Wangyue sat down next to him.
"Are you hungry? I asked Aunt Zhao to prepare some food. Nan Yin, is this your first time visiting our home?"
