Chapter 11



Lin Luosang's performance ended faster than expected.

Even when the lights dimmed and the stage scenery was removed, the audience still hadn't come to their senses.

I glanced at my phone and realized it was the normal length of a song. Perhaps it was because the performance was so amazing that I couldn't get enough of it.

Then RAP, slow lyrical songs and folk songs were performed one after another.

At the final vote, Li Jiao glanced at Pei Hanzhou's voting machine and was a little surprised: "You voted for Lin Luosang too? I saw you were quite calm at that time, and I thought you would like folk music."

Pei Hanzhou remained silent, but Li Jiao, who had been infatuated with her for five years, chattered non-stop and excitedly, "Why did you vote for her? Did you also feel like you've fallen in love? But to be honest, she really makes me want to..."

The man lifted his eyelids and responded to the reason for voting: "She is my wife."

Li Jiao opened his mouth, but for a moment no words came out, and only a hollow sound came out.

"Oh, oh..." Li Jiao, whose brain was dizzy and unable to think due to the dopamine, finally seemed to remember something. "So that, that is your wife. Why didn't I react just now?"

"I have no thoughts about my sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand me."

In the shadows, the man's fingertips paused and tapped the seat, his long eyelashes half-drooped.

How could I have misunderstood? You almost dug out your eyes and stuck them on her.

"As you should. After all, he has been gone for over five years. I believe you will keep it to yourself for the sake of this sincere love."

"..." Li Jiao's mind flashed with the scene of himself dancing while cheering hard. He felt like he was being implied, but he was so angry. He still had to say thank you. You really understand me.

Backstage, Lin Luosang was learning the good news that he had won first place in this competition.

Her performance was in the middle, neither the beginning nor the end, and it was not a very memorable position, but she still took first place, proving that everyone was very satisfied with the performance.

"You can actually achieve this level of achievement with such a doomed theme," Yue Hui was quite pleased with himself, his brows radiating joy as he played the program. "So, once someone gets really good, nothing can stop them."

He then asked Lin Luosang, "Do you think the production team would be pissed off? They invited you to run as a runner-up, but you ended up taking third place in the first round. They knew this wasn't going to work, so they had to find a way to change the situation and give you a hard time. Well, it turns out that giving you a hard time was quite effective. They actually moved you from third to first place. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, fuck, this is too funny!"

"This is just the beginning," Lin Luosang, although in a good mood, but not as arrogant as Yue Hui, warned, "Don't be too happy too soon."

The more enviable a place is, the more sharp eyes there will be. The upper circle may seem glamorous but it is actually difficult to maintain. She will have to pay more and give better in the future.

Besides, the results are so good that they have stolen the limelight from other contestants. I don’t know what the production team will do.

When Pei Hanzhou entered the backstage, he happened to see Lin Luosang talking to the cameraman.

She actually looked very pretty when she smiled, but he mostly saw her professional fake smile, and it was very rare to see such a genuine smile.

She was thanking the cameraman for coordinating the shots tonight to her needs very well, but when she saw Pei Hanzhou, she was stunned for a moment, and even the crescent moon under her eyes stopped blinking.

After confirming for a few seconds, Lin Luosang hesitated and said, "Why are you here?"

"I can't come?" The man narrowed his eyes, as if he was curious. "Who gave you these ponytails?"

Lin Luosang subconsciously touched the hair tie: "I tied it myself. Who said I can't do this? I'm only 22, in the prime of my life."

He laughed: "I didn't say you were pretending to be young."

"Isn't that what you mean?" She didn't believe that the man who focused on her twin ponytails could say anything good, so she pulled the hair tie twice, but gave up when she found that she couldn't untie it.

What a beautiful hairstyle! Even the stylist advised her to change her career after seeing it.

Pei Hanzhou was watching her busying around from the opposite side. After a while, he said, "You seem to have some misunderstanding about me."

Lin Luosang recalled the scene where the man's words had driven her to the point of wanting to jump out of the car, and nodded thoughtfully, "It seems not. Isn't it just that he's a pioneer in the industry who can choke people to death with a single sentence, and a leader who can't even say a good word?"

The man opposite choked and was about to refute, but then he remembered that he came to congratulate her and go home with her to do some business, so he restrained himself a little and thought about saying something nice that a woman would like to hear.

Someone who has been praised for his high emotional intelligence since ancient times thought for a few seconds and found that he seemed to have no experience in praising people, especially women.

So his eyes lingered for a while, finally landing on her neck.

"The necklace is pretty good."

She smiled and replied, "Thank you, I bought it with your money."

“…”

As they were talking, the director of the film crew passed by and announced, "There's going to be a small meeting with the artists backstage later. Lin Luosang, you should get ready and don't be absent."

Lin Luosang nodded, and the director realized Pei Hanzhou was also there. The curve of his mouth immediately became more prominent, and he smiled in surprise and embarrassment: "Boss Pei is here too?"

Looking at Lin Luosang: "Are you here to pick me up?"

Before she could respond, Pei Hanzhou hummed softly.

"Then..." The director didn't hesitate, as if he was just thinking for a moment, and quickly said, "Luosang, it's okay if you don't go. I'll tell the chief producer that you and Mr. Pei should go back first, otherwise we'll have to wait a long time."

She ignored the director's sudden gentle change of tone, glanced at the man who was waiting for her to finish with his arms folded, raised his chin slightly, and replied -

"It's okay, let him wait."

A man who hadn't even known where she was performing before would come pick her up and compliment her on her necklace? What's the next line for "being nice without any reason"?

After returning home, they will either have sex or have sex. If he is willing to wait, then he can wait. If he is not willing to wait, then forget it. Her life is hanging by a thread in the show, and she dare not slack off at all.

The director was nearly terrified upon hearing this, wondering what the chances were of triggering a man known for his cruelty and impatience by making him wait with such an arrogant tone. The answer was 100 percent.

So what if it was his wife? When a capitalist gets angry, no one can stop him.

The director looked at Pei Hanzhou cautiously and found that the man had indeed paused for a few seconds. He then prayed "Amen" in his heart and planned how to protect himself after the dispute. Then he found that Pei Hanzhou... smiled?

The man's smile showed no emotion, just a light breath, as if he had expected it.

Even more fucking terrifying.

The director decided to slip away first: "You guys discuss it, I'm leaving first." It's none of my business if a fight breaks out.

Lin Luosang shrugged, leaving the choice to her husband, and left with the director to attend a meeting.

In fact, it was not a very formal meeting. We briefly talked about the rules of the next episode and the new contestants who would be joining the challenge.

The singer who successfully challenged the opponent in this episode was called Jiang Mei. To be honest, Lin Luosang felt that Jiang Mei's songs in this episode were very ordinary, and there were not many discussions about it in the live broadcast room. At that time, she also felt that the probability of successfully challenging the opponent was very low. She didn't know why Jiang Mei received so many votes on the spot and even got second place.

When Lin Luosang pushed the door open and walked in, he happened to meet Jiang Mei's eyes. Jiang Mei's eyes were clearly curved, but strangely, there was no smile in them. The light yellow long skirt and the calm smile created an elegant and literary feeling like a chrysanthemum, but it didn't match her at all.

The two of them had different auras, and after a glance, they tacitly looked away from each other without saying hello or communicating.

The director in the center is talking about the settings for the next episode.

To pique viewers' curiosity, the next episode will feature a new set of rules: the eight guests will be paired off, divided into four teams with their own themes. The performances will remain separate, but the themes will align. The two contestants from the team with the highest total votes will receive additional prizes, and the one with the higher number of votes will receive a promotional promotional video on Weibo.

The public keywords for this time are divided into midsummer, eyes, heartbeat and fairy tale. Those who choose the same keywords will automatically form a group. Although members of the same group will inevitably compete with each other, there is more cooperation.

Lin Luosang chose Fairy Tale. Jiang Mei had also drawn this before her. She paused for a moment, but finally followed her heart and chose Fairy Tale.

Before the next person had time to choose, Jiang Mei touched her neck and put the "Fairy Tale" sign in her hand back to its original place in an unnatural manner.

A senior asked: "Why don't you choose?"

"Maybe it's not suitable," Jiang Mei smiled and tucked her hair. Although her voice was steady and she smiled, her words were not gentle. "I focus more on the core of my singing and don't like to be exaggerated or fancy."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the air in the room was silent for a moment, and Lin Luosang's hand, which was folding the stars with the slips of paper, also paused.

What does that mean? Jiang Mei said her style is too flashy and she doesn't want to work with her?

Are the audience members all fools, voting only based on who performs better?

When this musician was enriching the soul of his songs three years ago, you were probably playing in the mud somewhere.

The show is a survival competition, so it's normal to look down on each other during the battle. However, the atmosphere was inevitably rigid and everyone became restrained.

Until Lin Luosang also pretended to put his sign back.

Jiang Mei's eyes narrowed, and someone asked, "You don't want it anymore?"

"Just kidding, I'm not someone who lets others influence my rhythm." She smiled and played the Star Drum, saying casually, "The audience has not only eyes but also ears. Top singers lead the trend, and incompetent singers will question the market's choices."

Jiang Mei suddenly turned to look at her.

She is not the kind of person who allows herself to be manipulated by others. If you imply something to me, I should also imply something to you as a courtesy. It's a matter of reciprocity.

After enthusiastically "reciprocating" Jiang Mei, leaving her speechless, Lin Luosang stood up and brushed off her skirt. "I'll leave after I've made my choice. Contact me on WeChat."

After retorting, Lin Luosang felt happy and completely forgot about Pei Hanzhou. When he went out from the back door and called Yue Hui in the breeze, a familiar car finally drove up in front of him.

The car window rolled down, and the man's frowning face appeared before him. "Do you know how pitiful the staff's tone was when they informed me that you were leaving?"

It's like he was dumped by a heartless scumbag.

"Sorry, I forgot."

The car drove to the private helipad, and the private plane quickly sent them back to City G. Pei Hanzhou was on the phone all the way, and when he got home, he just picked up something and turned to leave.

Lin Luosang was sitting in his seat playing with his mobile phone. After playing for a while, he felt a little uncomfortable in his pelvis, so he turned over and lay on the back of the chair to play. Seeing Pei Hanzhou was about to leave again, he was stunned for a moment.

Leaving now? Did she misunderstand him?

The man glanced at her one last time before leaving, as if he was reluctant to let go of his prey. He paused for half a second before asking, "What's that behind your waist?"

She glanced back: "Little round tail."

In order to match today's furry stage style, she specially sewed a small tail on the back of the pleated skirt, which is a combination seen in anime.

Thinking of this, she twisted her body unconsciously twice: "Isn't it cute?"

She hung on the back of the chair and muttered to herself, no one knew what she was mumbling. The man suddenly narrowed his eyes, remembering the time when she was hanging on the edge of the bathtub like this, moving around, arrogant and presumptuous.

After pondering for a while, the man finally decided to cancel the next work, returned to the house and closed the door.

Lin Luosang rubbed his upper teeth with the tip of his tongue, looking a little bewildered: "...Aren't you going out?"

"No."

She had a bad feeling: "Then what are you going to do?"

The man's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He slowly took off his watch and placed it on the table. The crisp tone was exactly the same as the last time he placed the ring on the bedside table.

She held onto the table, and her legs suddenly went limp.

The author has something to say: Oh no, what else can I do?

Sangsang: It turns out I didn’t misunderstand
