Chapter 520: The Thousand-Year-Old (41)
Then they started shouting slogans through megaphones, all in perfect unison, both cheesy and catchy. Some audience members even joined in, which truly shocked everyone. Even the fans who were shouting for other contestants couldn't get their voices out anymore. It was like interrupting their spellcasting. How could they shout like that? No one would listen no matter how they shouted. This was truly a unique and innovative approach.
Everyone's attention was initially drawn to Wen Wan's actions, but while Gu Li was playing the zither, no one could take their eyes off him, and Wen Wan didn't shout any slogans to disturb Gu Li.
Such celestial music, like hearing celestial music that instantly brightens the ears, was the first time Wen Wan had ever seen Gu Li play the zither. Her heart pounded uncontrollably, and Wen Wan subconsciously clutched her heart.
"System, how can he know everything?"
System: [He's the male lead, just a standard male lead role, nothing to be surprised about.]
"My heart is racing. Does your library have any regulations that prohibit hosts from dating?"
The system was stunned. [Host, what do you mean by that?]
Wen Wan: "I think I'm falling for you."
system:【……】
He didn't expect that the host would accept his feelings so easily this time. He remembered that he had struggled with this a lot in the last world. Could it be that this kind of thing can be mastered through practice?
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
[Of course we won't forbid it. We will give the host the best treatment. If the host really likes the male lead, then be brave and go for it. Be sure to enjoy the process and the result of the pursuit.]
Wen Wan: "You're right, I've made up my mind, I'm going to pursue him."
"Anyway, we are now a married couple who have gone through the wedding ceremony. Even if we don't fall in love at first sight, it's still very possible that we'll develop feelings for each other over time. Being close to the water tower gives us an advantage, and he can't escape my grasp."
Wen Wan felt somewhat surprised by her own confidence, considering she had never been in a relationship.
As the song ended, before anyone could react, Wen Wan rushed forward with a large bouquet of flowers and kissed Gu Li on the cheek. Gu Li looked at her in surprise, while Wen Wan blushed and said, "You're amazing. You're truly worthy of being mine."
audience:"!!!"
Then the screams almost lifted the roof off.
Xiao Cui was so shocked that her mouth dropped open, and she stared blankly at the scene.
How is this possible! How did this happen?
Uncle De suddenly felt like he was about to have a heart attack. "Didn't you say you were going to keep it a secret? What are you doing? We're doomed, we're really doomed now." He had bet so much money on these two, and now it's all gone. He's going to be bankrupt this time.
Wen Wan stepped down from the stage.
Then came the performances of other people, but few paid attention. Everyone was still immersed in the scene they had just witnessed, surrounding Wen Wan and asking, "What is your relationship with her?"
Wen Wan smiled and said, "Can't you tell? We're a married couple who have already gone through the wedding ceremony."
The crowd was even more amazed. Wen Wan could even see many women staring at her with shining eyes.
The players in the later matches were almost furious. It wasn't until the last few Asian players took the stage that the audience's attention was drawn back to the competition, and the atmosphere returned to normal.
Wen Wan discovered that this was truly a place where hidden talents abounded. The later contestants were even more extraordinary, each possessing exceptional skills and unique looks, and each had a considerable number of fans. After forcibly forgetting Wen Wan's quirky slogan, the contestants' fans finally returned to their usual level of support.
After everyone finished performing, it was time for the on-site voting. Of the sixty contestants, the last thirty would be eliminated. When it came to the vote-soliciting segment, the other contestants each showed their unique talents, and even the one whose family owned a restaurant started to use his financial power.
Comparing money? Wen Wan couldn't bear to part with it.
But in other aspects, Wen Wan was definitely not inferior, so she started making wild promises: "As long as you beauties vote for my wife, I will give you personal makeup and make you as beautiful as my wife."
"Look at my wife's makeup. It's the most fashionable nude makeup in the capital right now. It looks like she's not wearing any makeup, but it's full of subtle tricks. You can do it too! Vote for us, and I'll teach you for free."
This captured the hearts of viewers who appreciate beauty.
As for the men, Wen Wan thought for a moment and made some preparations. She then took out a set of mahjong tiles, which she had brought with her. Mahjong was not yet popular in this area; it was mainly popular in the capital.
"This is the most popular game in the capital. If you vote for us, I'll teach you how to play mahjong for free."
The final voting results are in.
The top spots were all occupied by those with a loyal fanbase, which was no surprise to Wen Wan.
Surprisingly, Gu Li ranked fifth, which was a delightful surprise. Uncle De was overjoyed.
"Fifth place, it's actually fifth place! That's great, that's great..." Now they don't have to sell their house or go bankrupt. This is a newcomer who just appeared! Their strength is simply too shocking.
The top thirty advance, while the bottom thirty are unfortunately eliminated.
Gu Li walked to Wen Wan's side and then directly inserted the hairpin he had used to advance his cultivation into Wen Wan's hair.
"This is for you."
Wen Yan: "..."
He was indeed the person she liked. He was making her heart flutter all the time. Sometimes, when she didn't realize it, these actions were just normal things between friends. However, once she realized it, these actions automatically took on a pink filter, making them seem even more ambiguous and heart-fluttering.
Xiao Cui instinctively stepped in front of her master, "Master, we have to go to the competition, time is almost up."
Wen Wan: "Then let's go quickly."
Xiao Cui turned around and glared at Gu Li. "You male vixen, stay away from my master. I didn't expect you to be so good at seducing people."
Wen Wan arrived at the afternoon session.
[Host, what talent will you be performing? Music, chess, calligraphy, or painting?]
Wen Wan: "Which of these do you think I would do?"
[Horseback archery?]
What do you think I'm good at?
"So you're going to be eliminated in one round?" the system said with a hint of amusement. Wen Wan chuckled twice.
"You'll see then. It definitely won't go as you wish. That's a thousand taels of silver. Every round you advance pays off. I can't possibly be eliminated in the very first round, can I?"
To be honest, most of these handsome men were performing traditional Chinese arts like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; it felt like these were really standard performance items.
In the past, Wen Wan would have loved these performances. However, after watching Gu Li's performance, Wen Wan felt that nothing could move her heart that beat for Gu Li for the time being. Wen Wan's gaze was on Gu Li most of the time, secretly and occasionally openly. The more she looked at him, the more she thought he was handsome. How much had she missed before? Now she really wanted to see him every minute. She had indeed become the ultimate love-struck person.
