Chapter 105 - 105: The Public Performance Begins! (3)
He paused, then raised his voice: “That would be our Teacher Si—”
The spotlight shifted to the mentors’ seats, illuminating the third position.
Si Fuqing had no choice but to put down her bottle of coke, turn toward the audience, and give them a wave.
The fans went wild.
“Si Fuqing! Darling! Look here!”
“AH! AH! AH! AH!”
“Judging by the roar of the crowd, you can tell how many fans Teacher Si has,” the host exclaimed. “Teacher Si, you’ve really opened our eyes with your make-up-free appearance.”
“I heard that Teacher Si has earned a new nickname. What is it? Audience, please tell me—”
The fans’ voices erupted, nearly overturning the venue.
“Great Xia’s Divine Beauty!
“What an honor, Teacher Si,” the host covered his ears, “Do you have anything to say to your fans?”
“Ah, you all have good taste,” Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow lazily, “I also think I look pretty good.”
The screams from below grew even louder.
Lin Qingyan’s face turned sour with envy, but she had no choice but to maintain her smile for the cameras.
“Alright, next up is our performance battle for tonight!” the host clapped his hands, “But before that, one of our trainees has to say an early goodbye to us.” The applause stopped.
Si Fuqing leaned back in her soft chair, squinting like a fox as she looked over.
The lights changed, illuminating the stage.
Mu Ye appeared from backstage, still leaning on a crutch and walking very
slowly.
“Trainee Mu Ye has to withdraw from the competition due to his injury,” the host sighed, “He’s very sad to leave you all, so he’s saying his farewells here.” The fans gradually quieted down, showing little emotion.
After all, either Mu Ye’s fans hadn’t made it inside, or they had mostly dispersed by now.
“Due to my own physical condition, I have no choice but to leave this stage,” Mu Ye said, restraining his emotions and offering a smile. “I’m deeply grateful for everyone’s support and the mentors’ guidance. Of course, the person I’m most thankful for is Teacher Si.”
“Now that I’m leaving, I’d like to make a request to Teacher Si.”
The audience was taken aback.
The director was also stunned for a moment before hurriedly directing the camera crew, “What are you all standing there for? Focus on Si Fuqing!” The camera crew immediately switched their focus.
On the large screen, the image instantly shifted from the stage to the mentor’s seat.
The camera zoomed in on her face.
She wasn’t makeup-free today, but she had only applied eye makeup.
The eyeshadow was a moonlight shimmer, and when the lights hit her, it was as if a galaxy was flowing at the corners of her eyes, stunningly radiant.
[Help, I can’t handle this. Who says you can’t make it in the entertainment industry based on looks alone? With a face like that, I could gain ten years of life just by looking at her all day.]
[She does heavy makeup well, but she also looks so good with a minimalist style. This face is truly unparalleled; there’s never been anyone like her in the entertainment industry.]
[I want to see Fuqing in a fantasy drama! I’ve had enough of the current casting choices in TV shows. The character is supposed to be the most beautiful woman in the fairy realm, but they keep choosing such lackluster actresses.]
[Emmm, fans really need to stop hyping her up. Si Fuqing is fine as a pretty vase; there’s no need for her to act or sing and dance. At least that way, she remains somewhat likable.]
“Since Teacher Si has been able to train such outstanding students, her own skills must be equally impressive,” Mu Ye emphasized each word, “Before I withdraw from the competition, I’d like to see Teacher Si perform on stage.. I wonder if Teacher Si could grant me this wish?”
