Chapter 27 You in the Spotlight

Time flies when I am waiting for the show.

Contestant No. 14 had piano accompaniment and needed some time to clear the stage. Lin Shuliang had waited longer than the others, but she still felt that it wasn't long before it was her turn.

"The next contestant to come on stage must be familiar to everyone. This little girl has won many awards at a young age. Today, we don't know what kind of surprises she will bring us. Next, please welcome contestant No. 15, Lin Shuliang! Please ask contestant No. 16 to get ready."

The host's next words were drowned out by the screams.

Shen Xinghe was sitting below. When the host started introducing her, he heard someone next to him say, "From the opening remarks, I knew it was Lin Shuliang. She was the only one who would let the host introduce her like that."

No wonder Lin Shuliang feels so much pressure. Everyone present knows it's her after she says a few random words. How can she not feel pressured?

Shen Xinghe suddenly felt a little nervous, nervous for Lin Shuliang.

Lin Shuliang came on stage, her lotus steps moving lightly. The lights in the arena suddenly dimmed, and the whole audience fell silent, staring at the stage.

Three seconds later, the stage lights shone on Lin Shuliang. Her little skirt really added a lot of color to her, and her whole body was sparkling.

It turns out that Lin Shuliang looks so beautiful under the spotlight.

Shen Xinghe didn't take his eyes away for even a second, following closely, like a shadow.

With her slender figure, she is like a nimble fish on the stage, changing various dance moves and dancing lightly to the music.

She performed a difficult move, and the audience below exclaimed in amazement, followed by thunderous applause.

Lin Shuliang stood on the stage. She did not think of herself as participating in a competition, but rather listened to Shen Xinghe. She was a dancer performing for the public.

Her smile was as brilliant as the gorgeous dress she was wearing.

The music reached its climax, and Lin Shuliang was about to make some big moves, but she accidentally slipped and fell to the ground.

Everyone in the venue was surprised. Although the sound of her fall was drowned out by the music, Shen Xinghe could still feel her pain.

The whole person stood still.

The lighting engineer was smart enough to turn off the lights and stop the music immediately. Everyone thought it was a deliberate act.

Lin Shuliang endured the pain and adjusted her position in a few seconds. When the light shone on her again, she was still lying there.

She could only adjust her movements to the rhythm of the music.

Her slender hands were stretched out. Her left foot was extremely painful from the fall. She could only rely on the strength of her right foot to stand up again with a new posture and continue her dance.

The episode of lying on the ground is seamlessly connected to the following part, and it even has a sense of hope and determination to stand up again after falling.

It was finally over, and she took the stage to say goodbye, lifting her skirt and forcing a smile.

Many people in the audience stood up and applauded to celebrate for her!

Shen Xinghe's eyes were filled with sadness and he quickly walked to the backstage, wanting to support her immediately.

After the spotlight on her body disappeared, she limped away. Shen Xinghe was standing at the backstage, reaching out his hand to her.

Lin Shuliang's smile was uglier than crying, "I was really dizzy after falling." She didn't act coquettishly and ask for a hug at all.

"Slow down." Shen Xinghe said.

He supported Lin Shuliang and asked, "Should we go back directly or what?"

She shook her head and said, "No, there will be an award ceremony later. It would be bad if I am not here. Otherwise people will say that I have a bad temper and will leave without receiving an award."

"How do you know you won't win the prize?"

"How could I win a prize with such a low-level mistake? There are so many outstanding people." Lin Shuliang was very clear about the current situation.

When they reached the intersection, they heard someone talking on the phone, "Yes, yes, it has fallen."

Lin Shuliang accidentally touched her injured foot and made a little noise.

The man turned around in panic, saw that it was them, and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I'll call you back later."

I hung up the phone and walked away, bypassing them both.

What has fallen? Are you talking about Lin Shuliang?

"She's talking about me, right? Who is she talking to?" Lin Shuliang said blankly.

Shen Xinghe looked at the man's behavior and felt a little guilty. "I don't know, is it possible that your fall was related to her?"

"That's impossible. How could she know that I would definitely step on that spot? What if someone else stepped on it?"

Shen Xinghe helped her to sit down, "You are really confused. The contestant before you had to clear the stage with the curtain. Isn't it easy to do something? Besides, you said you might not step on it, but it is in the center of the stage, there is no way you can't step on it."

Lin Shuliang recalled the feeling just now and nodded, saying, "Yes, when I fell, I clearly felt my feet were soft, and then I fell down. But why?"

"Don't move. I'm going to talk to the chairman about this." He was about to stand up when he heard the host start speaking.

"Next, let's announce the final score of contestant No. 15, Lin Shuliang. Remove the highest score of 10 points and the lowest score of 9.5 points, and the final score is 9.8 points!"

The score was 10 points! Lin Shuliang was surprised. This score was the highest so far, and she was far ahead!

It seemed that the judges were suppressing the scores. A total of 20 outstanding contestants were selected, and only two or three of the top 15 scored above 9 points.

All efforts will be rewarded, Lin Shuliang thought.
