"What's wrong?" Shen Zhi asked softly.

Rebecca has a typical C-country appearance, with a large frame and a tall stature, towering over Shen Zhi by more than half a head. When Shen Zhi was held in Rebecca's arms, she looked like a small figurine.

Shen Zhi straightened up from Rebecca's embrace and followed Rebecca's gaze, only to see Shen Linchuan smiling faintly with a forced smile.

"Cough cough."

Shen Zhi pulled Rebecca to Shen Linchuan and took the initiative to introduce the two of them:

"Rebecca, this is my boyfriend, his name is Shen Linchuan."

"Brother, this is Rebecca, my friend from Country C."

Shen Linchuan politely but distantly extended his hand to Rebecca. After Rebecca shook his hand, she finally understood why that man had been staring at her like that.

He nudged Shen Zhi's shoulder teasingly.

"Little Gardenia, that guy is very possessive of you~"

Possessiveness...that's definitely true.

But she actually quite likes it.

I didn't want to discuss Rebecca's relationship issues too much, and I specifically reminded her of this:

"If you see my older brother and the others later, you can't tell them I'm dating, okay? You have to keep it a secret for me."

"What?! Your older brother and the others don't know! Little Gardenia, you're incredibly bold!"

Rebecca had witnessed the Li family's doting and care for Shen Zhi when she was in Country C.

At the time, it was just that someone stared at Shen Zhi for a while, and the five doting brothers of the Li family immediately kicked that person out of the mall.

If those five lunatics from the Li family found out that their little cabbage had been taken, they'd go crazy.

Just thinking about it made Rebecca tremble.

"Let's not talk about that now. How about I tell you about the live stream schedule later?"

"become."

Shen Zhi smiled and took Rebecca's hand as they went to the stage. She then greeted the other four sisters Rebecca brought with her. She spoke fluent and pleasant Mandarin and chatted and joked with them in a generous and open manner, which was nothing like what the production team had guessed—that they would be at odds and on the verge of conflict.

Upon seeing this, the staff gathered together and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Why do I feel like Rebecca isn't here to challenge us, but rather to help us out?"

"I think so too, and I feel like she really likes Zhizhi, she can't wait to be all over her. Would a challenger be this enthusiastic?"

"The four singers next to Rebecca are all new singers who have become popular in China in the last year or two, and each of them has very strong singing skills!"

"If Rebecca is Shen Zhi's helper, then is there any point in watching tonight's game? Shen Zhi's team is bound to win again."

"Don't worry! I heard that Zhao Ge Wang's side invited Ansel!"

"Really?! This seems to be Ansel and Rebecca's first time appearing together since their breakup! The online viewership must be exploding; the production team is really going all out..."

"Don't worry, don't worry~ We have Zhizhi here, the server will definitely be fine!"

Sure enough, when the live stream started, the number of online viewers surged exponentially after the guests were introduced.

Every time the camera pans over a guest performer, the scrolling speed of the comments section increases.

Holy crap! It really is Rebecca! The production team really went all out!

How did Brother Zhao even meet Ansel?! The dimensional barrier has been broken!

Looking forward to Sister Sun collaborating with her senior!

[If it's a guest performer, the skill gap between the guests is too big, it feels like they can easily win without any effort...]

Who is the person upstairs trying to allude to?

[Apart from Shen Zhi, everyone else present had won awards before, so it goes without saying who benefited the most from this, right? [smile]]

They have the resources; with money, they can choose the most capable to help them.

【What?!?!?! You're already accusing me of freeloading before I've even sung? Who knows who'll be freeloading by then!】

【Ah, right, right, our Zhizhi is rich, super rich! If you're envious, you can spend money to hire Rebecca! Why don't you? Is it because you don't have the money?】

Shen Zhi's fans, like her, don't feel pressured.

Since her own idol is already a financial backer, and she has made it clear that she has invested money, why shouldn't she treat herself better when participating in the competition? Why should she spend money to suffer?

Even a fool wouldn't do that, so why would Zhizhi do it?

Moreover, they believed that Zhizhi was extremely capable and that she would be more than capable even when paired with Rebecca.

Just like Shen Zhi, the gardenia is incredibly good to herself and extremely confident!

The production team didn't use any suspenseful tricks or routines; after the introduction, the performers went on stage in the order drawn by lot.

The first group to go on stage were actress Sun Yinghou and her senior from many years. Song King Zhao drew the fourth group, which was before Shen Zhi's group.

For some reason, Zhao Gewang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the number plate.

Perhaps because he still vividly remembered Shen Zhi's opening performance that captivated the entire audience, he was actually afraid of not being able to keep up with Shen Zhi's performance.

The first to take the stage was Qian Gehou, who also invited her actor friends from the industry to sing with her. Coincidentally, her friend's TV series was airing at the time, and when the lead actor appeared in the live broadcast, the audience at the scene and the chat in the live broadcast room clearly got excited.

In addition, the theme song of a popular TV series she sang stirred up a wave of emotions and heated up the venue right from the start.

The second person to appear was Li Gewang, who invited a very experienced veteran singer who had previously participated in "The Good Singer" as a mentor.

Originally, it was thought that the other party would be more familiar with the stage of "The Singer", but no one expected that the veteran singer would get so excited while singing, and at the climax, he hummed a trill, as if he had turned on some kind of abstract switch for the other party.

They ignored the lyrics after that and replaced them all with humming or simple interjections like "oh ah ah" or "eh eh eh".

Li Gewang, who was still hitting high notes, suddenly froze, his eyes widening in surprise. He was known for his small eyes, but now the audience could see them.

The veteran singer hadn't played yet, probably because he felt the sound equipment was so good and the audience was so enthusiastic, he was quite excited.

He jumped off the platform, rolling across the floor in the process, and appeared on the side of the stage, handing the microphone directly to the audience below.

He looked at the lucky audience member with encouraging eyes, his mouth still wide open, as if urging his supporter to sing soon.

The audience was also quite excited, covering their lips as soon as Li Gewang started singing, making him sing off-key.

These professional singers have received professional training, and under normal circumstances, they can hold back their laughter.

But this is a situation I really can't hold back any longer.

"puff……"

The short burst of laughter came through the microphone clearly. Li Gewang thought to himself, "It's over. My competition is over!"

I had no choice but to readjust my mindset, suppressing my laughter until my face turned red, and continue singing along with the accompaniment.

I was originally thinking of just singing the whole song properly and letting the veteran singer do whatever he wanted.

But who would have thought that in the end, the veteran singer would say, "Li**, you made me laugh~"

The audience couldn't hold back any longer, bursting into laughter and screams.

Singer Li was completely out of options, so she belted out a high note in an attempt to cover everything up.

However, because he had actually laughed a bit too hard earlier, his breath control for this high note was not stable enough, and he couldn't reach it, resulting in a complete voice crack.

Warning at the rollover scene.

Unfortunately, netizens these days love nothing more than watching celebrities have a good time. They find it much funnier to see celebrities make a fool of themselves than to watch bland and safe performances.

This is why, when it was Zhao Gewang's turn to sing with Ansel, both of them performed very well, without any mistakes or gimmicks, but the audience's reaction was lukewarm.

Zhao Gewang was worried that Ansel would be discouraged, so he kindly comforted him:

"Chinese audiences do tend to prefer Chinese songs, and they are more reserved; even if they really like something, they won't get as emotionally invested as people from China, so you..."

"You were too slow on the second beat, and you didn't hit the high note." Ansel seriously instructed Zhao Gewang, resting his chin on his hands, looking down at him with a condescending air.
