At this moment, the host's voice came from the stage, it was Xu Zihe's turn to go on stage. She didn't have time to say anything to Guo Siyi, she could only compose herself and go to the front to prepare for her performance.
As soon as she left, Guo Siyi turned her attention to Ye Zhizhou.
"If you hadn't meddled, how could she have discovered it was me? Ye Zhizhou, does this have anything to do with you?"
She crossed her arms and exuded an imposing aura, as if she wanted to devour Ye Zhizhou alive.
She had always been Xu Zihe's junior sister, and no matter what, she was always overshadowed by Xu Zihe, which she couldn't stand for long.
If it weren't for the resources she could get by following Xu Zihe, she would have parted ways with him long ago.
This talent show was also very important to her, but she didn't expect Xu Zihe to come as well, so she came up with this idea to prevent Xu Zihe from performing well in the competition.
As long as Xu Zihe is unable to perform normally, she will have the opportunity to stand out, as her abilities are not much worse than Xu Zihe's.
“It really has nothing to do with me, but I’m also behind Xu Zihe in the order. If something happens to her, it will postpone her performance. I don’t care if you want to harm others, but if you get in my way, I have to warn you.”
Ye Zhizhou was not afraid to confront Guo Siyi at all, and her reasons were also valid.
Guo Siyi's eyes almost blazed with fire as she angrily said, "Wouldn't it benefit you if something happened to her? My senior sister's strength is such that few people in the entire talent show can beat her. Why do you have to go against me?"
She couldn't understand why, in the various programs she had participated in before, people would pretend not to see them sabotaging her, but now, as soon as she had a thought, someone would expose her.
There are quite a few people in this industry who use underhanded tactics behind the scenes, but it's rare to find someone as straightforward as Ye Zhizhou.
"Who says I'm not as good as her? Guo Siyi, don't assume everyone else is as incompetent as you, okay?"
Ye Zhizhou glanced at her disdainfully and then ignored her, continuing to tidy his clothes and makeup, waiting to go on stage later.
"Who are you calling incompetent? I'll tear your mouth apart!"
As Guo Siyi spoke, she tried to slap Ye Zhizhou, but Ye Zhizhou calmly threw her over his shoulder. Guo Siyi lay on the cold floor, stunned for half a minute.
"You..." She was utterly shocked by Ye Zhizhou's actions.
Ye Zhizhou clapped his hands, as if brushing off dust.
"What, you wanted to make a move but realized you wouldn't gain anything?"
She squatted down and looked down at Guo Siyi. "Not everyone is easy to bully. You're no better than everyone else. You're about to go on stage, and you're already in such a sorry state. I think you don't want to win."
Guo Siyi finally came to her senses. Seeing how capable Ye Zhizhou was, she had no desire to oppose him and just wanted to get up quickly to prepare for her performance on stage.
But she found herself stiff and unable to get up, which made her feel extremely desperate.
"Could you help me up?"
She didn't want to ask Ye Zhizhou for help, but if she didn't speak up soon, the performance would be on, and she couldn't afford to be late.
Ye Zhizhou looked disgusted. "With this kind of skill, you still want to participate in the talent show?"
Guo Siyi: ? ? ?
This is a talent show, not a martial arts competition!
Although Ye Zhizhou was disgusted, he still reluctantly picked up Guo Siyi.
After Guo Siyi got up, she didn't dare to act recklessly anymore. She said thank you, turned around, and went back to her seat to touch up her makeup and check if there was anything wrong with her dress.
Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Ye Zhizhou smiled faintly. Maintaining order backstage sometimes requires a bit of toughness.
Xu Zihe's performance went smoothly, and his score is the highest so far.
She has a lot of fans. When Ye Zhizhou went on stage, some fans could be heard shouting Xu Zihe's name, and they were all shouting very excitedly.
Following the rhythm of the music, Ye Zhizhou slowly began to sing. This song is a representative song by the queen of romance, and most contestants would not choose it because its margin for error is too low.
If you sing well, it's okay, but if you sing poorly, it's a disaster. For many contestants, this is a life-or-death question.
However, Ye Zhizhou practiced for a long time, and with her naturally gentle voice, she interpreted the song in a different style.
As all the audience was immersed in her singing, she switched to another mode. The music stopped abruptly, and soon after, a slightly androgynous dance was performed, accompanied by fast-paced Western-style music.
Ye Zhizhou unbuttoned the back of her dress, causing it to fall down and revealing her inner layer: a black short-sleeved shirt and leather pants, which completely changed her demeanor.
Some audience members screamed. They hadn't seen this style of movement among the contestants so far, and they found it very novel. They all stared intently at Ye Zhizhou's fluid movements and couldn't help but marvel at how strong this year's talent show was.
When Ye Zhizhou finished his performance, a loud round of applause erupted in the audience. The audience was very excited, as they hadn't seen such a good show in a long time.
There are very few contestants who can sing and dance, let alone Ye Zhizhou, whose performance was remarkable and who did not falter at all. It is no exaggeration to say that he was the best among the contestants.
"This contestant's performance really surprised me. I'm sure the audience members sitting below the stage felt the same way. I can tell from your reactions. Now, please, the three judges, give Ye Zhizhou your scores."
The host, dressed in a white dress, came on stage with admiration for Ye Zhizhou. Although she didn't know how to sing or dance, she could still tell that Ye Zhizhou had really got the crowd hyped up.
The show's impact was amplified by her performance.
Due to time constraints, the program organizers did not arrange for everyone to rehearse before the preliminary round. Everyone was performing their prepared program for the first time.
To play it safe, most people focused on singing in their performances, with only a few adding singing and dancing.
Ye Zhizhou is the most outstanding among the few.
The three judges were the same ones from the preliminary rounds. They followed the host's instructions, raised their placards, and soon everyone saw the scores, causing the entire venue to erupt in cheers once again.
"97, 98, 100!"
The host's voice was the most excited. For the sake of the show's effect, she sometimes had to exaggerate. In addition, this score was the highest so far, which made her even more excited.
"Congratulations to our contestant Ye Zhizhou for achieving the highest score so far. Our preliminary round is now halfway through. Will there be any contestants who can achieve an even higher score? Stay tuned."
After praising Ye Zhizhou, the host then introduced the second half of the event.
Ye Zhizhou was satisfied with the score and, at the host's prompting, left the stage and returned backstage.
Xu Zihe appears to be arguing with Guo Siyi.
"Senior sister, you'd rather believe a stranger than your junior sister!"
