The villain heroine turned evil again after being saved by him

Chapter 68: Siren Returns, Appearance

The audience was in chaos and noise, with almost everyone chattering with their friends about their favorite contestants.

However, there was one exception on the field, that was Su Qingye's fans.

They gathered together, holding light boards and busts in their hands. They were generally quiet, but would occasionally shout a few slogans in unison.

"Clear the field, clear the field! Soar straight to the sky!"

"Qingye Qingye! The wildest in the audience!"

Jiang Lingsi's head hurt from the noise, so he had to take out his headphones and put them on, then clicked on his phone to play some music for himself.

The songs and melodies that he never got tired of listening to flowed out, and his irritable mood improved a little, and he started to check the messages on his mobile phone.

Suddenly a head came close to him. Jiang Lingsi turned around and saw Xi Ruan pointing at his ear, tilting his head slightly with a puzzled look.

What are you listening to?

Jiang Lingsi thought about how she had just rejected his brother, and he felt inexplicably good. He couldn't help pinching her fair little face, and whispered teasingly, "The song sung by a certain bun is magical, isn't it? It can be called one of the wonders of the world. Do you want to listen to it?"

Xi Ruan covered her face, glared at Jiang Lingsi slightly, then turned her head and ignored him.

Jiang Lingsi chuckled and continued to look down at his phone.

A few seconds later, he received another message on his phone.

XR: [Miracle Baozi is angry, the surprise I prepared for you is going to be lost.]

Jiang Lingsi opened his eyes wide and looked at her quickly, "What surprise?!"

Xi Ruan smiled and shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to say it.

Jiang Lingsi was immediately intrigued and reached out to pinch her face, "You've become a bad kid, haven't you?"

"You tell me or not, if you don't I'll squeeze the shit out of you."

Xi Ruan just smiled without saying a word, and let Jiang Lingsi ravage her face without saying a word.

There was really no way to ask, and Jiang Lingsi didn't want to really hurt her, so he gently rubbed her face twice and then let go.

He snorted and continued to look at his phone.

Xi Ruan covered her mouth and laughed twice, then turned to look at the stage.

Soon, it was time for the official opening.

Suddenly, bunches of fireworks ignited on the stage, the lights flashed, and as the shocking music sounded, the audience began to cheer and scream.

"Welcome to - "National Idol Season"!" A deep baritone voice sounded, the audience's shouts became louder, and the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room filled the entire screen.

"This summer, let your expectations explode! "National Idol Season", 100 people enter the 40th preliminary round! Now, start—"

As soon as the words fell, there was another round of screams, and many audience members at the scene desperately shouted the names of their favorite contestants.

However, careful viewers soon discovered something was wrong.

[No, isn't it the preliminary round of the top 80? How did it become the top 100? Did the host say something wrong?]

[If you make a mistake on such an important matter, you will have to deduct a lot of salary! ]

At this moment, the picture appeared on the big screen on the live stage again, and the baritone sounded again.

"You heard it right! It's 100 to 40!"

"So where do the other 20 contestants come from!?"

"Please look at the big screen!"

Everyone at the scene quickly looked over, and the scene was cut into the image on the screen during the live broadcast.

"Hello everyone! I am Luo Xueyi from Dongsheng Entertainment!

I am very happy to be able to participate in the trainee finals of "National Idol Season", and successfully entered the finals with the second place voted by the mentors and all the trainees, and compete with the top 80 contestants in the national auditions!"

“We may not be as popular as the contestants who have come through the auditions, but on stage, I believe our strength will conquer all the audience!”

"Hello everyone! I am Wei Nuan from Xiaoran Entertainment..."

"Hello everyone! I am..."

A short video clip of each contestant introducing themselves played by, and the voice-over began to introduce them again.

"They! Are born to be idols! They! Have been working hard to become idols for many years! They grit their teeth and persevere day after day, year after year, just for the day they debut!"

"National Idol Season! 100 to 40 preliminary round! Professional trainees, come and challenge!"

"Audition contestants! Are you ready?! Do you have the confidence to keep your position and drive the trainees out of the competition?!"

The camera switched to the faces of the audition contestants waiting to go on stage backstage.

A brief moment of surprise flashed across their faces, and then they immediately responded loudly: "Yes!"

"Trainees, do you have the confidence to use your professional abilities to take away their original popularity and kick them off the stage?!"

"Yes!" The camera switched to another room, which was filled with the trainees who had just appeared on the screen.

The confident shouting from both sides immediately heated up the atmosphere, and the barrage of comments filled the screen recklessly.

[I was wondering why I didn’t see any trainees in this audition, it turns out there was an internal competition among trainees! ]

[Although the trainees directly enter the preliminary round, they are at a disadvantage in terms of popularity, right? ]

[So this really shows what professionalism is! Trainees really have to rely on their abilities to compete with the audition contestants for popularity! So exciting!! Looking forward to their performance!!]

Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, the voice-over sounded again.

"Do you think this is the end? No! All contestants, whether audition contestants or trainee contestants, you will face a more powerful enemy together!"

A sound effect suddenly sounded, and a black silhouette suddenly appeared on the screen, showing "Mysterious Player X!"

"The mysterious contestant X, who has been recognized by all the mentors and stands out after the secret selection, will receive 10000 initial popularity points in each round of the competition!"

"Only when you have more impressive strength and the difference between your popularity and hers is less than 10000, can her initial popularity be reset to zero!"

"All contestants! Please tell me loudly! Do you have confidence!?"

The camera switched to the contestants again, and everyone shouted in unison: "Yes——"

"I declare! The preliminary round of "National Idol Season" will begin now--"

Fireworks were lit on the stage again. The mentors and part-time host Liu Yue walked onto the stage together. Without any unnecessary nonsense, after a brief introduction, the contestants began to perform on stage in their own order.

All the audience were looking at the stage, and the audience in the online barrage had already started discussing it.

[The program team is really cool with this operation, and they even brought in a mysterious contestant X! They said there would be no secrets or inside stories, so isn’t it annoying to just give an initial popularity value? ]

[To increase the visibility, and since I have clearly told you, if the difference is really not that big, you can calculate it later and know who deserves the first place.]

[+1, and 1w popularity is not much considering the total number of viewers of the show. It is easy to exceed it if the difference is not big! ]

[+1 in front, now one audience has 8 votes, as long as the difference is less than 1 popularity points, you can surpass her. Now the difference between the first and second place is 8, so if you are really talented, are you afraid that you can't catch up with 1? ]

[Am I the only one who is curious about what the mysterious person X looks like who is recognized and recommended by all the instructors? ]

The performances on stage came one after another. Each contestant was allowed to perform for a maximum of 3 and a half minutes, including self-introduction, and the mentors gave a maximum of 30 seconds of comments, trying their best to shorten the time.

Even so, the event will last almost half a day.

In order to prevent the audience from forgetting the contestants' performances, each contestant can select the 30 seconds of his or her most satisfactory performance video after the performance. The program team will put it on the official page for all viewers to quickly review. The voting channel will be opened one hour after the end of the competition.

It must be said that the professional trainees are indeed far superior to many audition contestants, and they amaze the audience every time they appear on stage.

Wan Chuning and Xi Ruan had been waiting for Tang Qingwen to appear. Wan Chuning couldn't help but complain that Tang Qingwen was unlucky and drew a late number, otherwise they might have appeared on the stage and started traveling after the competition in the morning.

Xi Ruan smiled and looked at Liu Yue on the stage.

This person must have found a way to let Wenwen move to the back of the queue. She must make sure that she is always there to be absolutely safe.

At this moment in the studio, no one knew that the director was losing his temper.

"What's going on? Why hasn't Tan Lu arrived yet? X's appearance has been postponed again and again! Is she coming or not?!"

A staff member rushed over while talking on the phone, "Director! Tan Lu had a car accident on the way here and was seriously injured. She can't come now!"

The director was so anxious that his head hurt when he heard this.

Just at this moment, Liu Yue, under the pretext of being in a hurry, temporarily handed over the task of hosting the event to a mentor and ran over here.

"What's wrong, Director? Did something happen? Can I help?"

Before the director could answer, the staff member spoke first.

Liu Yue smiled immediately, walked to the director, and whispered in his ear: "Director, I have a solution..."

The director listened with a frown, and finally asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"

Liu Yue nodded. "I'm sure that no matter what, she will bring a huge buzz to this show, right?"

"Okay, let's do as you say." After thinking it over again and again, the director finally agreed.

-

On the other side, in the audience.

Xi Ruanzheng and Wan Chuning were looking at the stage when a staff member suddenly walked over.

"Hello, is this Miss Xi Ruan? It's like this, a contestant named Tang Qingwen wants to see you urgently, please come with me to the backstage."

Xi Ruan raised her head, looked at the person in front of her, and slowly smiled.

It’s finally here.

When Wan Chuning heard that Tang Qingwen had something urgent, she couldn't help but start to worry. Xi Ruan comforted Wan Chuning, told her to go and take a look herself, and then stood up.

She turned to leave, but her hand was suddenly grabbed by a big warm hand.

She turned around and saw Jiang Lingsi frowning, his dark eyes as deep as the abyss.

"Don't go." Jiang Lingsi held her hand tightly.

Xi Ruan looked at him quietly for two seconds, then leaned over and put her lips close to his ear, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe: "Your surprise is over there."

"wait for me."

Jiang Lingsi was stunned, looked up at her extremely sweet smile, and slowly let go of her hand.

Looking at Xi Ruan's departing back, Jiang Lingsi touched his ear, wondering what he was thinking.

-

Xi Ruan followed the staff around the backstage.

She blinked and asked casually, "Didn't Wenwen say she had something urgent to talk to me about? Why do I feel like this road doesn't lead to the dressing room?"

The staff member scratched the back of his head and said, "Contestant Tang Qingwen is already preparing for the show and is not in the dressing room."

Xi Ruan smiled slightly and said no more.

When the staff took her down one floor and brought her to a place to stand, she asked in confusion: "Why do you want me to stand here? Where is Wenwen?"

"I'll call contestant Tang Qingwen over right away. Please wait here." After saying that, the staff member quickly disappeared.

Seeing this, Xi Ruan was about to walk away, but other staff members immediately stopped her, "Little girl, don't move! Just stand there! There will be a surprise for you later! If you leave there, it will be gone!"

Xi Ruan couldn't help but laugh when she heard that. It turned out that they also called this a "surprise".

She retracted her steps and stood still obediently.

The people around her couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that she was so easy to fool. It turned out that no girl could resist a "surprise".

They calmed down and waited quietly for instructions in the headphones.

-

There are only a few contestants left on the field who have not performed.

The audience in the live broadcast room waited so long that the flowers were almost wilted.

[How many are there left? ]

[There are 5 more! Comrades, hold on! ]

[When will the mysterious contestant X come out? ]

[Yeah, isn't it amazing? Come out and have a look. The previous ones were just average. I'm sleepy watching them.]

[I didn’t feel that way before, but once the professional trainees came out, the gap was definitely there…]

As they were discussing, there was a sudden flash on the stage, and all the lights and screens turned into dazzling white light.

The next second, X’s silhouette flashed by, majestic music sounded, and the baritone solemnly announced: “Now, please welcome contestant X, come on stage!”

White spots of light spun and shone, a large cloud of smoke appeared on the stage, and then all the lights became soft. At the same time, the prelude of "Song of Hope" sounded, and in full view of the crowd, a girl in a white dress slowly rose from below.

The high-definition camera captures every detail on the screen.

The girl had a pure and flawless face, skin as white as jade, delicate features and a pair of amber deer eyes that were clear and transparent, as if no darkness could hide in her eyes.

However, she had no makeup, no fancy dress, and even just a simple ponytail.

Just like that, I went on stage.

Everyone stared in amazement, and then all the audience reacted.

[Wait a minute, wait a minute? I heard the prelude to "Song of Hope"!? Right, right? Right?]

[How dare anyone cover a song from the forbidden zone? Are you trying to kill yourself?!]

[Fuck! Please don't ruin my "Hope"! ? I only accept the original version sung by XR! ]

[Only accept the original version!! Ban "Song of Hope"!!]

[Get out! Get out! No covers accepted!]

Liu Yue looked at the comments on the live broadcast screen in front of her with a smug look in her eyes.

She looked at Xi Ruan in front of her, and looked at her watery eyes which were now filled with panic, and smiled triumphantly.

Xi Ruan, you are completely finished this time.

However, within a few seconds, she saw the helplessness in Xi Ruan's eyes disappear. She turned to look at her, then smiled slightly, took a step forward, and reached out to cover the microphone.

Amid the resistance of the audience and Liu Yue's incredulous gaze, she opened her mouth.
