My skill tree increases every day.

Chapter 132 It's a pity the photos can't be kept.

"Senior, aren't you going to pay attention to the upcoming matches?" The atmosphere was a bit too quiet, and Ruan Yunxian felt that she should say something.

It's a strange feeling. I have this feeling that something I don't know about has actually happened.

Lin Yu didn't look up at the contestants on stage; he just kept his head down, fiddling with his phone. After typing a good news message and sending it, he turned to explain to Ruan Yunxian.

"It doesn't matter anymore, there won't be any more players I know after this."

"Aren't you worried about whether they pose any threat to Sister Wanqing?"

"Those judges have probably already given their scores, so whether they follow the other judges or not won't make a difference, right?"

"That's true."

She wanted to say something more, but Lin Yu had already turned his head back to his phone, looking at something.

Ruan Yunxian's intuition led her to look to the other side.

Su Wanqing was also looking at her phone, her expression relaxed and happy.

By this time, there was already a fifth contestant on stage, but Ruan Yunxian had no interest in listening at all.

She wanted to sneak a peek at Lin Yu's phone screen to see what he was doing.

However, the angle wasn't ideal; Lin Yu was using a privacy screen, so nothing could be seen from the side.

When one plan failed, Ruan Yunxian quickly came up with another idea. Since she didn't know what he was doing, she decided to join in and take up his time and energy.

Ruan Yunxian promptly took out her phone and sent a message to Lin Yu.

Ruan Yunxian: Senior, if you don't want to watch the game, why don't we chat for a while?

Lin Yu looked at Ruan Yunxian with a puzzled expression.

What's wrong? Why are you all doing this? Do you really like chatting on your phones that much?

Lin Yu: We don't need to, are we? We're so close, we could bump into each other if we tilt our heads.

Ruan Yunxian: No! It's so noisy here, I can't hear anything.

Lin Yu looked at the message on the screen, then looked up at Ruan Yunxian.

Ruan Yunxian was looking down at her phone, as if she was really waiting for his reply and planned to have a long chat with him on the phone.

Lin Yu sighed and lowered his head to type.

Lin Yu: Okay. Whatever makes you happy.

After sending the message, Lin Yu flipped his phone over and placed it face down on his lap. What's going on today? Everyone's so engrossed in chatting on their phones.

This reminded Lin Yu of his high school days, when the school only had basic mobile phones, and some students especially liked to use text messaging to chat.

I can spend several hundred yuan on phone bills every month.

A few moments later, the phone vibrated a few more times, so Lin Yu had no choice but to pick it up and check.

Ruan Yunxian: Senior, what place do you think Wanqing will get?

Su Wanqing: What place do you think I'll get this time?

Lin Yu was immediately at his wit's end. These two had a strange unspoken understanding; they were asking the same questions.

Lin Yu: I think I can get into the top three.

Lin Yu: If the others hadn't held back in the preliminary rounds, getting a good result today wouldn't have been a problem.

Lin Yu sent two similar messages to the two people. Since the two people asked similar questions, Lin Yu's answers were naturally similar as well.

It's just a matter of changing the subject.

Upon receiving Lin Yu's message, Su Wanqing looked at her phone with her cheeks puffed out.

Why won't this person praise me even once? I just asked him to praise me, but he wouldn't, and he kept changing the subject.

They've already given a prediction for third place, but I still haven't seen a single word of praise.

Su Wanqing: You predicted such a high ranking for me? So what do you think of my singing?

Lin Yu had a bit of a headache.

Why does this person so desperately want me to just say she sings well? Like a little kid.

Lin Yu: You sang very well today, so your ranking won't be bad. Are you satisfied now?

Su Wanqing: What's so good about it?

Lin Yu:

Before Lin Yu could reply, Su Wanqing sent a mischievous smiley face.

The competition progressed faster and faster, and the leaders spoke less and less. Soon, it was time to announce the final results.

However, at this moment, Su Wanqing, the person in question, was chatting happily in the audience.

They were having a pleasant conversation when Lin Yu suddenly fell silent. Just as Su Wanqing and Ruan Yunxian were wondering what was going on, they suddenly heard a sound.

"Um, does either of you have a power bank?"

Lin Yu stopped talking, not because it was time to announce the list of the top ten singers.

It was because after more than an hour of intense fighting, Lin Yu's phone, which hadn't been fully charged before he left home, was already running low on power.

The phone was about to run out of battery, and Lin Yu had no backup power source.

So the only option was to ask the two people next to me.

As soon as Lin Yu spoke, Su Wanqing and Ruan Yunxian both looked at him.

"A power bank?" Ruan Yunxian was taken aback for a moment, then looked down and rummaged through her bag. "I didn't bring one."

She brought a lot of things with her, but she didn't bring a power bank.

Su Wanqing had even less; the beautiful dress she wore for her performance today didn't even have a pocket.

Her little handbag is still at the activity center, where did she get a power bank?

"I don't have any either."

"Never mind." Lin Yu quickly accepted the outcome. "Anyway, it'll be over soon."

"It's okay, I'll treat you to a late-night snack after we're done. It'll be easy to borrow a charger from the store then," Su Wanqing said.

"Hey! Didn't Wanqing say I'd treat you to a celebratory meal?"

"Anything is fine, anything is fine," Lin Yu interjected, "as long as I don't have to pay."

"How could that be!"

"Alright, the results are in." Lin Yu pointed to the stage, and the host came back on stage.

The host gave a concluding speech, announcing that all the contestants had finished singing and the judges were already tallying the scores. "Do you want to go over there?" Lin Yu suddenly asked Su Wanqing.

"oh."

"Wanqing, are you nervous?" Ruan Yunxian asked Su Wanqing in a low voice.

"I'm not nervous." Su Wanqing is very relaxed now. She has already achieved the result she wanted, and she doesn't care about the ranking anymore.

It's not that important anymore.

"Sorry for keeping you all waiting, the results are in my hands now." Someone bent down and jogged over to hand the host a brand new cue card.

The audience fell silent.

The host started reading from the tenth name onwards. Each time a name was read, there was a burst of applause or a sigh from the audience.

"Tenth place, ————"

".——.——"

Fourth place, ————

"Third place, ————"

They called out the names up to the third place, but Su Wanqing's name still hadn't appeared.

"No way—" Ruan Yunxian muttered to herself, somewhat unwilling to believe it.

Ruan Yunxian was even more nervous than Su Wanqing. It wasn't that she was nervous that Su Wanqing might not get a ranking, but that she was worried that Lin Yu might have made a wrong prediction.

"Second place goes to Su Wanqing!"

Ruan Yunxian breathed a sigh of relief; her senior's prediction was indeed correct.

Su Wanqing didn't feel anything special; she just quietly crossed her arms and looked at the stage.

Lin Yu, however, felt somewhat regretful.

That photo can't be kept. I was even thinking of using it to blackmail Su Wanqing when the opportunity arose.
