Three questions every day after traveling through a book: Has your character been ruined today?

After a day of rehearsals and preparations, the third performance officially began at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Meng Yuan sat in the waiting area for Samsung players, watching the performance on the stage through the big screen in front of her.

The performance that just ended was by Bai Lian. This time, Bai Lian chose to sing the ending song of a movie, and it just so happened that the leading actor of this movie was Shen Shuli.

Therefore, after Bai Lian finished singing, the host cue Shen Shuli alone, and Shen Shuli expressed his love for Bai Lian without any euphemism:

"To be honest, I have been following this season's "Rising Star" after work, and my favorite contestant is Shiroi Koi. "

"Her singing voice is very vivid and always brings me into the mood she wants to express."

"When she sang the ending song this time, it brought me back to the scene in the movie. I think she is really suitable for singing the OST. If there is a chance in the future, I hope we can have the opportunity to work together."

"If you ask Mr. Shen to guess the champion of this season's Star of Tomorrow, who would you guess?" Shi Yumeng asked.

"Of course it's Bai Lian." Shen Shuli did not hide her preference for Bai Lian.

According to the performance order determined during the rehearsal, after Bai Lian's performance, Meng Yuan should go backstage to prepare.

However, when the staff came over to call the contestants, they did not call Meng Yuan's name. Meng Yuan just thought that they had missed it and did not care about this detail. She took the initiative to stand up and walked out.

But when they arrived backstage, the staff was reluctant to let Meng Yuan wear the device.

It was almost time for Meng Yuan to go on stage, and Meng Yuan couldn't help but ask the staff next to her:

"I'm the next one to go on stage. Where are my ear monitors?"

The staff member glanced at Meng Yuan and said, "You are not the next one to go on stage. The performance order has been temporarily adjusted."

"So when is my turn?"

"Wait for notification." After the staff member said this, he turned around to help the contestant next to him check the equipment who was about to go on stage.

Meng Yuan stood backstage and waited for an hour until the host announced on the stage:

"All the stage performances for today have ended. Now let all the contestants return to the stage to prepare for the announcement of everyone's ranking in this stage..."

All the contestants passed by Meng Yuan, walked onto the stage one by one, and stood under the spotlight.

Meng Yuan, who wanted to go on stage, was held tightly by the arm by the staff next to him.

So in the dimly lit backstage, Meng Yuan heard the host's voice:

"I regret to inform you that Meng Yuan has withdrawn from the competition due to personal reasons."

Meng Yuan stood there in a daze, his mind going blank for a moment.

Meng Yuan felt that she should be happy that she no longer had to participate in this competition, but a sour feeling welled up in her nose.

"When did I say I wanted to withdraw from the competition?" Meng Yuan asked the staff member who held her.

When he opened his mouth, Meng Yuan realized that his voice was muffled.

"In the evening, your company asked you to withdraw from the competition."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"How should I know why no one told you? This is not my business." The staff member said in a nonchalant tone, "Come on, I'll take you back to pack your things. Since you've withdrawn from the competition, get off the island as soon as possible."

Having said that, the staff member pulled Meng Yuan out.

Meng Yuan found it a little ridiculous that she, as the person involved, only found out about her withdrawal from the competition at the last minute along with the audience.

Strangely enough, Meng Yuan didn't feel too aggrieved. It was as if after coming to this world, she had gradually gotten used to being treated differently.

Just as she passed by the glass, Meng Yuan saw her own reflection in the glass, the makeup and hair that she had carefully done for this stage, the beautiful dress that matched the style of the song, and the song she was supposed to sing, which she once liked very much.

Meng Yuan suddenly felt a little regretful that she couldn't let anyone see this.

After the regret, there is a sudden surge of unwillingness.

Meng Yuan suddenly shook off the staff member's hand and said, "The production team helped me withdraw from the competition without even informing the contestant. Isn't this against the rules? I want to see the director."

"The live broadcast hasn't ended yet, so the director doesn't have time to see you." Seeing Meng Yuan's sudden non-cooperation, the staff's attitude was not as friendly as before.

The staff member looked at Meng Yuan and snorted coldly: "If you ask me, the program team is willing to use your voluntary withdrawal as an excuse, which is already a great favor to you. With what you have done, it is not too much for the program team to force you to withdraw from the competition. I advise you to give them face instead of being shameless."

"What did I do?" Meng Yuan was puzzled.

"Stop pretending. You were the one who took the initiative to contact the marketing account to expose the information about you and Meng's company online. Meng's company has already found out about it. Just wait for the lawyer's letter!"

Before the live broadcast of the show ended, Meng Yuan was asked to pack her luggage under supervision and was dropped off at the dock by a shuttle bus.

"There's no space for you on the boat that's taking the contestants off the island. You can wait here for someone from your company to pick you up."

This pier was not the same one Meng Yuan visited when he arrived on the island. The surroundings were even more desolate, and even the street lights were only a few steps away.

The evening breeze at the beach was a little chilly. Meng Yuan held the phone he had just received from the staff and called his assistant.

After the call was connected, before Meng Yuan could say anything, Sun Xiaoxiao's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Sister Yuan, why did the company withdraw you from the competition? And Sister Fang and I didn't know about this! I only found out after watching the live broadcast just now!"

"Sister Yuan, where are you now? Are you back?"

After hearing what the other party said, Meng Yuan stared at the endless sea in front of him that was dyed dark by the night, and thought that he probably wouldn't be able to wait for anyone to pick him up.

Knowing that the other party was just a junior assistant, Meng Yuan didn't want to cause trouble for him, so he casually said that he was on the way and hung up the phone.

In front of me is the endless sea, and behind me is a dark forest path.

Meng Yuan didn't know what to do for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered that Su was also on the island. She was afraid that Su was not convenient at the moment, so she sent him a message:

[My: Can you find someone to take me off the island tonight? ]

As soon as the message was sent, Su Ye called.

"Sister, where are you?" Su Ye's anxious voice came from the receiver.

"I'm at a pier on the island. It's not the one we arrived at. It's smaller. There are no buildings around. I can only see a small road and there are no street lights."

Meng Yuan described the surrounding scenes that he could see as best as possible.

"I understand, sister. Wait for me there. I'll be there soon."

While waiting, Meng Yuan opened the trending searches, ready to see what "she" had done to be forced to withdraw from the competition.

The key words had probably been cleaned up by someone, and Meng Yuan looked through it for a long time and roughly pieced together the whole story.

In short, I am the one who is being blamed again.

"Sister!" Su Ye's voice came.

As soon as Meng Yuan raised her head, she felt herself being pulled into a warm embrace.

"Sister, how could they do this to you! By doing this, isn't it the same as implicitly admitting that you did all this, but it obviously wasn't you!" Su Ye sounded very aggrieved.

Although she was greedy for the hug at that moment, Meng Yuan knew that this warmth was given by Su Ye to his sister who had been with him for more than ten years, not to herself.

So Meng Yuan pushed Su Ye's arms away, raised her hand and touched his hair with a smile, and comforted him:

"Okay, I'm fine. I'll take care of this when I get back."

A boat was approaching the dock. Su Ye took a look and said:

"Sister, this pier is usually used by star promoters. I asked my assistant to call a boat in my name to take me off the island. I'll take you back."

"No need. You still have to record tomorrow. It's getting late now. It will take a lot of time for you to go there and back. You don't have to send me off. Just go to bed early."

"But I'm worried about you going back alone! Your company didn't send anyone to pick you up either!"

"Yes, my assistant is already waiting for me at the dock over there. It's just that she couldn't contact the boat to come over at night. Don't worry."

"Okay then." Even though Su Ye was worried, he still listened to Meng Yuan.

Before boarding the ship, Meng Yuan specifically told Su Ye: "Don't go to the director team or argue with others about my affairs, okay? I will handle my affairs, don't let this affect you."

"I understand, sister." Su also agreed obediently.

Watching the boat Meng Yuan was on gradually sail away from the dock and disappear into the night.

Su Yecai turned around and prepared to go back, and the assistant who had been standing in the dark followed behind him.

Su Ye asked his assistant to check who leaked all the information about Meng Yuan online today, and who removed the hot search.

The assistant hesitated and said, "Brother Ye, Miss Meng just told you..."

"She just told me not to argue with others. Don't worry, I won't."

A dark light flashed in Su Ye's eyes.

"I just want the truth."
