Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Villain is Extremely Difficult to Mess With

Chapter 109 Ugly Duckling Substitute vs. A Ruthless and Ruthless CEO (31)

Zhong Yiqiao's voice was melodious and pleasant to listen to; her high notes seemed to penetrate the stage, allowing people backstage to hear them.

"We're doomed. Zhong Yiqiao sang even better this time than last time. She might even take first place."

"Not necessarily. Look, that little lark over there might still be number one."

"cut."

"Go ahead and do whatever you want, I'm standing with Little Nightingale."

“Then I’ll stand with Zhong Yiqiao.”

The people behind her were making a racket. He Suining narrowed her eyes and reached out to touch her chin.

Bored, the ragged creature rubbed its round body and complained to her through the light blue screen: "[Looks like you really hurt the female lead last time. She's improved so much in such a short time. No wonder she's the female lead chosen by Heaven; she's got a halo.]"

"Well, she's working hard too." Although He Suining didn't particularly like Zhong Yiqiao's style, she acknowledged her abilities.

The song is over.

The audience applauded.

The judges in front of her smiled as they looked at her. Even Hong Yini, who had always had a serious expression, nodded in approval this time and was much more amiable towards her.

Indeed, capable people are liked wherever they go.

“Your singing is much more emotional than last time. It seems you’ve taken our comments to heart,” Hong Yini said first.

When the topic of the last time came up, Zhong Yiqiao's eyes flickered, but her fair face was adorned with a gentle smile. "Yes, I was too impulsive on stage that time, and I couldn't accept it for a moment. After I got home, I thought about it, and I will work even harder."

"Little White Flower." Everyone knew she was Zhong Yiqiao, but they didn't want to say her name, since the competition rules still had to be followed.

Lin Wenjue called her by her nickname, "I think highly of you, you can join my team."

"Thank you." Zhong Yiqiao stood still, her eyes turning to the other two judges, mainly Qi Su.

She preferred to stay with Qi Su rather than with them.

A familiar person, capable, and young—it seems like a good fit for me.

Hong Yini glanced at the two people next to her and shook her head. "I won't argue with you two. Anyway, it's none of my business."

She smiled, appearing to have voluntarily withdrawn.

In reality, Hong Yini didn't really like Zhong Yiqiao. She always felt that the girl was cunning and unlikable.

Zhong Yiqiao's expression didn't change at all.

Now that both of them had expressed their opinions, Zhong Yiqiao naturally turned her attention to Qi Su.

Qi Su will definitely choose her.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yiqiao's smile became more expectant and sincere.

Qi Su raised his head and met her gaze.

He knew perfectly well what Zhong Yiqiao was thinking, given that their relationship had lasted for so many years.

But ever since he appeared on this show, he suddenly felt that the Zhong Yiqiao in front of him was no longer the white moonlight in his memory, playing the piano, smiling gently, and understanding.

It seems to have gone bad.

Moreover, he has his own candidate in mind.

A judge can select multiple contestants; those who are not selected will be eliminated, and then a third round of team competition will begin.

Zhong Yiqiao is quite capable; he's a good candidate.

The problem is that Xiao Bailing and Zhong Yiqiao clearly don't get along. If Zhong Yiqiao is chosen, then Xiao Bailing will definitely not choose him.

He couldn't stand it.

Qi Su picked up the microphone, not avoiding Zhong Yiqiao's gaze, but he was destined to be disappointed with what she wanted. "You have indeed improved a lot this time compared to last time, but I already have someone in mind. I think Teacher Hong Yini is more suitable for you."

Zhong Yiqiao's delicate face instantly collapsed uncontrollably.

The audience started to murmur.

"Is it a little lark?"

"Probably. Qi Su's attitude towards Xiao Bailing has been different since last time."

"I remember he had several rumors with the innocent girl, and I thought he would choose the innocent girl. But looking at it now, the innocent girl doesn't have any advantage."

"Men's hearts are fickle!"

When it comes to getting here.

Zhong Yiqiao on stage could have chosen Hong Yini, and that would have been the end of it.

Who knew that when she picked up the microphone and looked at Qi Su, she had that same stubbornness she had shown in the first round of the competition, the kind that was still unpleasant to hear, "I'd like to ask Judge Qi Su, is Little Nightingale your choice?"

The audience erupted in uproar.

The production team, on the other hand, seemed quite happy. They thought the dramatic effect was great and would edit it out for promotional purposes.

The three judges all frowned, their expressions revealing different emotions.

Qi Su's expression remained unchanged; he seemed to have anticipated Zhong Yiqiao's question and maintained a gentle demeanor.

He spoke softly and calmly, yet with an undeniable certainty: "Yes."

He said only one word.

Zhong Yiqiao bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, "Is it because you think I'm not as good as her?"

Hong Yini couldn't stand it anymore and picked up the microphone, "I don't think you need to ask these questions. Just watch the finals to see if it's competitive or not."

Qi Su remained silent.

Zhong Yiqiao couldn't stand stiffly on the stage, so she lowered her eyes and looked at me with a pitiful expression, remaining silent for a few seconds.

He picked up the microphone and put it to his lips, saying, "Then I choose Professor Lin Wenjue, thank you Professor Lin."

She bowed slightly and then stepped down from the stage.

When I got backstage, sure enough, everyone was talking about it.

When she came in, no one dared to speak.

He Suining looked up at her and met her gaze.

Although neither of them said anything, everyone could sense the intense hostility and sparks flying between them.

Another ten minutes passed.

It was He Suining's turn.

This time she brought a guitar with her.

Lin Wenjue's eyes lit up. "You're good at guitar?" He looked down at the list in front of him. "I see that the songs you submitted are your own original compositions. Are you that bold? When I was your age, I wouldn't have dared to be so reckless."

He Suining smiled, picked up a chair, sat down, and adjusted her position. "Teacher Lin, you are still very young."

Lin Wenjue burst out laughing.

Hong Yini and Qi Su didn't speak, but they both looked at her intently, filled with anticipation.

He Suining, Zhong Yiqiao, and that shy little girl are the three favorites to win the championship.

It also generated the most buzz online.

However, because Zhong Yiqiao had an advantage and a fan base, her data was more impressive.

He Suining picked up her guitar and began to play slowly.

The inspiration for her song actually came from Qin Shen; it's a sweet little tune.

The music style is quite upbeat.

But this was only outwardly apparent; when He Suining sang it, Qi Su frowned.

It's not because she sang badly.

It's not because the melody and lyrics are so different, but because the melody is bright and cheerful and the song is called "Sweet Melody". Strangely, the lyrics are full of a faint sadness of parting.

The lyrics are about a boy and a girl meeting, but their meeting is far from perfect; in fact, it's quite contrived. However, they fall in love during their time together. What should have been a beautiful romance turns into a crisis when the girl believes the boy will eventually leave her.

Because it's imperfect.

As for the ending, it's not mentioned in the lyrics, but you can imagine that the boy and girl are still together and seem very sweet.

But perhaps one day that imperfection between them will be exposed, just as the beautiful colors will turn into empty bubbles that burst at the slightest touch.

Viewers with strong empathy skills have already begun to shed tears silently.

After the three-minute performance...

He Suining bowed slightly, and the room fell silent. A dozen seconds later, a loud bang erupted, and even the three judges stood up and applauded him.

"We won! We won! Who can beat us?"

"That's right, we all sing other people's songs. Little Nightingale sings original songs. If she doesn't do them well, that's one thing, but the lyrics and music are so good, how can we compete?"

"Shh, stop talking. Zhong Yiqiao doesn't look well."

“What’s wrong with her? Everyone says she has a good temper and a good personality. She should be happy for Little Nightingale.”

"The entertainment industry is all about personas, you know?"

Zhong Yiqiao wasn't unaware of the discussion; she pursed her lips unhappily.

Yes.

According to her character, she should have pretended to be happy and clapped for the little lark, but she just wasn't happy and couldn't fake it.

uncomfortable.

"Yay!" Qiao Yue hugged Xia Luo beside her in a particularly innocent and sweet way. "I knew it! Little Nightingale is definitely different from others. Ah! I'm going to fall in love with her."

Everyone looked at Qiao Yue and smiled, but no one took her words seriously.

Zhong Yiqiao turned to look at Qiao Yue behind her.

Xia Luo noticed.

In the past, Xia Luo would have comforted Zhong Yiqiao or said something, but now she was fascinated by the little lark on the screen.

She likes people who sing well.

That's how she and Zhong Yiqiao met.

"Luo Luo." Qiao Yue seemed a bit silly, but she keenly noticed that Xia Luo's emotions were different from that day, so she whispered, "After the competition is over, let's go ask her for her WeChat ID, okay? It's definitely worth it to make friends with her."

Xia Luo was about to nod.

The sound of Zhong Yiqiao's high heels landed heavily in front of the two of them.

The two of them looked up at her simultaneously.

Zhong Yiqiao smiled, a forced smile tinged with anger, "Are you going to betray me?"

Qiao Yue moved her lips, released Xia Luo, and said nothing.

Xia Luo looked at her and smiled, "Qiaoqiao, you're exaggerating. We're not children anymore. Do we have to worry about what our friends think when we make friends?"

“Friends?!” Zhong Yiqiao found it utterly absurd. “Why should she be our friend?”

"Why not?" Qiao Yue looked at her, puzzled.

Xia Luo understood and explained the reason for Zhong Yiqiao, "Is it because of her identity?"

Zhong Yiqiao brushed a stray hair behind her ear, looking very elegant. "I didn't mean anything by it. If Xiao Bailing's status is not equal to ours, wouldn't it hurt her self-esteem if she forced herself to play with us? Besides, we are now competitors. She probably doesn't want to be friends with us."

Screams erupted from the crowd as they spoke.

Zhong Yiqiao and the others looked at the screen.

It turns out that the little lark was being fought over by the three judges.

Hong Yini looked very displeased, and deliberately put on airs of an elder, saying, "I'm older than all of you, so what's wrong with giving way to me?"

Lin Wenjue scratched his head. "No, Teacher Hong, I also really like Little Nightingale."

"You have no chance."

"You have no chance."

Hong Yini and Qi Su said the same thing at the same time. Lin Wenjue was stunned and a bitter look appeared on his face.

He understands.

Choosing Zhong Yiqiao makes it difficult to choose Xiao Bailing, given the fierce competition between the two. Besides, even for the sake of the show's entertainment value, if two of the top three candidates are with him, what's the point of watching?

But Lin Wenjue was vying for it because he knew that Xiao Bailing wouldn't choose him.

He had to achieve this effect.

He wants others to know that he likes Xiao Bailing, and he won't deliberately avoid choosing Zhong Yiqiao just because she's in his team.

Qi Su looked at Xiao Bailing and raised the microphone.

His eyes shone with an alarming light. “Little Nightingale,” he said in a gentle, seductive voice, “I know your songs. Come over here. I’ve already planned out the songs you can sing next time.”

He Suining was biased towards Qi Su.

Hong Yini is a good teacher, but her style is too old-fashioned and doesn't suit her very well.

Qi Su represents the younger generation and is also a pianist; both his style and skills match hers.

He Suining raised the microphone, "Then I choose Professor Qi Su."

Hong Yini sighed heavily, holding the microphone, and good-natured laughter came from the audience and judges.

There wasn't anything particularly outstanding in the subsequent matches.

It's not that there weren't any excellent singers, but with three particularly good ones already sung, the later ones didn't seem as appealing.

The girl wearing the diamond mask is very outstanding.

She was one of only two people to sing her own original songs. She was slightly less impressive than He Suining, but better than Zhong Yiqiao.

As a result, she joined Teacher Hong Yini's team.

The reason is that she wanted to try a different style.

"I feel like Zhong Yiqiao was the least outstanding one in this performance."

"She's definitely better than us. It's expected that she can't compare to Little Nightingale, but I didn't expect her to not be as good as that third-place winner."

Zhong Yiqiao hadn't expected this result either.

The second round wasn't scored, but it was clear to everyone that the teacher's evaluations favored Little Nightingale and the third-place student.

On the contrary, Zhong Yiqiao is excellent, and she has also improved compared to last time.

But if you ask me about something special, it seems there isn't anything special about it upon closer inspection.

The match has just ended.

[Angel Music] became a trending topic, followed by Xiao Bailing, the Third, and Zhong Yiqiao.

Zhong Yiqiao got into the car that came to pick her up and turned on her phone.

The most discussed topic on the trending searches is the little lark.

Secondly, and thirdly.

On the contrary, Zhong Yiqiao initially gained some popularity, but clicking on her profile revealed comments controlled by her fans. Any casual comments were met with criticism, and over time, relying solely on fans to push her to the top of the trending topics list became unsustainable, causing her ranking to steadily decline until she quickly fell to the very bottom.

Zhong Yiqiao angrily slammed her phone onto the sofa.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and quietly raised the partition.

hum.

The phone on the sofa kept vibrating, as if something urgent had happened.

Zhong Yiqiao was extremely annoyed and covered her forehead, not wanting to talk to anyone.

But the person on the cell phone refused to give up and kept ringing.
