After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

The audience member who almost knocked over the tray was a completely unfamiliar face.

Upon realizing he had caused trouble, he quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"

"I was so focused on finding a good spot to shoot that I didn't notice them bringing over the coffee."

"I just want to use this route to get a good spot so I can take some professional close-up photos of the judges who will be reviewing the photos later."

Given that the incident did not cause any substantial consequences and was being broadcast live, the situation is currently under control.

So the person in charge at the scene just rushed over and offered a few perfunctory words of mediation.

Then they called security guards, who led the offending spectator to the perimeter of the stadium, and the matter was quickly dropped.

Finally, all three pots of freshly made coffee were safely delivered to the judges' tables, and the judging process began.

Lan Qingqing had done a good job, but after returning to her original position, she was still somewhat angry.

"Number 7 who was walking in front is fine, and number 9 who was walking behind is also fine."

"Of all people, they bumped into our number 8, who had the most potential to score high!"

"The person in charge at the scene had the nerve to say that it was just an accident and that we shouldn't take it to heart."

"An accident? Hmph, nobody believes that!"

Lan Yujuan was also very angry, but she was more composed than Lan Qingqing.

"No rush, let's see the result first, and then focus on the game."

"After today's final, we'll review the video and see what really happened!"

With the addition of popular bands and the promotion from multiple channels, the live stream viewership on the day of the finals had already exceeded 50 simultaneous online viewers.

In such a serious competition, someone actually dared to openly sabotage in front of so many netizens.

Even if the Half-Mountain Hidden Cafe is willing to swallow this loss, online viewers probably won't stand for it.

The game might not even be over yet, and the unexpected incident just now will be thoroughly investigated and uncovered by the online "Judge Bao" (a legendary upright judge).

At the edge of the stage, Lan Yujuan had just calmed down her indignant friends.

Meanwhile, the host had already taken the stage with the latest evaluation results.

"Number 7, first event of the finals, final score: 8.9 points."

"Number 8, final score: 10 points!"

"Number 9, final score: 9.1 points."

When the host read out Qi Lei's score (number 8), he was visibly excited.

Meanwhile, some unusual sounds came from the audience, and some people began to whisper among themselves:

"I noticed that the three baristas on stage used very similar techniques, so how come their scores differed so much? It can't be that bad, can it?"

"These days, just enjoy the games for the fun of it, don't take them too seriously. There might be some shady dealings going on behind the scenes."

"By the way, does anyone know who that barista number 8 is?"

Lan Qingqing's expression changed upon hearing this.

If she weren't next, it would be her turn to go on stage. She really wanted to rush up and say a few words in defense of her master.

However, Qi Lei's reputation soon took a turn for the better.

Several colleagues who were initially skeptical and curious, upon seeing that there was coffee left on the judges' table, pulled out their own small coffee cups and rushed forward to divide the coffee in the pot clean.

Those who managed to snag coffees number 7 and 9 had mixed opinions after tasting them, but their general consensus was the same as the judges'.

However, a few of them managed to snag Qi Leichong's No. 8 coffee, and after tasting it, they fell silent on the spot.

Finally, urged on by their companions, the group exchanged glances, all seeing the same shock and admiration in each other's eyes.

"Indeed, this pot of coffee, number 8, deserves a perfect 10!"

These words caused an uproar at the scene once again.

"Is there any more? Let me have a bite!"

"Is it really that good?"

"Forget it, forget it, let's just form a group and go to Banshan Xiaoyin (a secluded spot on the mountainside) for a good drink sometime!"

Amidst the mixed and enthusiastic atmosphere at the scene, Qi Lei returned with a bright smile.

He gently patted Lan Qingqing's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Focus on the competition, it's your turn now!"

During the break between the preparations for the second item, another band took to the stage to perform.

While enjoying the live performance, Lan Yujuan would occasionally turn her head to look at Qin Shuyi's position in the waiting area.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shuyi, who was in the crowd, pulled out an English book from her bag and began reciting it aloud.

The lively atmosphere on stage seemed to have nothing to do with her.
