A staff member rushed down and, before Su Jian could even react, pushed her onto the stage.

stomping on...

After staggering a few steps, he regained his balance.

Just as Su Jian raised her head, a spotlight shone on her with a snap.

The entire venue fell silent for a moment; the air seemed to freeze.

Standing on the stage, looking up at the audience around her, Su Jian stiffly walked step by step to the center of the stage.

She looked around blankly, and suddenly realized that Ye Xing was sitting in the audience, calmly watching her.

Click!

He pushed up his sunglasses and cocked the gun in his hand.

"...!"

With a change of expression, the sensible Su Jian immediately quickened her pace and walked to the microphone.

"Hello everyone... cough cough... hello mentors, my name is Su... Su Jian, Su as in Suzhou fire hydrant, Jian as in simply eating a small hamburger."

"Su Jian?"

Below the stage are three celebrity mentors.

Su Jian had seen them on TV before, and she had also learned about their information backstage.

The young man in his twenties wearing sunglasses and a white shirt is named Lu Hanfei. He is a popular young idol with countless female fans.

Wearing a suit and sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, the charismatic man in his thirties is none other than the talented singer Wo Zi'an.

The last one is the only female among the three celebrity mentors, Chen Qingxue, a young actress wearing a red bodycon dress and with big wavy hair.

It was Wo Zi'an who spoke at this moment. He looked at the two mentors beside him with great interest: "Hanfei, Qingxue, you said that now that half of the contestants have made it, where is the only boy?"

“I have no clue either.” Chen Qingxue shrugged. “Although I’m a girl too, I really can’t tell which one of them looks like a boy.”

Wo Zian nodded: "Hanfei, what about you?"

"I..." A faint smile appeared on his face, eliciting screams from countless fans.

Lu Hanfei glanced at Su Jian, and their eyes met.

Feeling guilty, Su Jian quickly lowered her head, while Lu Hanfei smiled slightly.

"I can't tell either. But... our contestant number 66 seems quite nervous."

They mentioned me!

The focus of the entire audience had been drawn to the three celebrity mentors, but now a single sentence has brought the spotlight back to him.

Su Jian subconsciously took a deep breath in nervousness.

Snapped!

Another button flew off.

Chapter 10. The protagonist is about to be sunk into the sea the moment he appears.

Swish!

Sitting in the audience, they were quick-witted and nimble-fingered.

Lu Hanfei dodged with lightning speed, the button slamming onto the chair behind him with a loud thud, silencing the entire room.

"Well!"

Su Jian's expression changed, and she quickly raised her hand to grab the collar of her neckline, sweating profusely.

it's over... it's over...

She shakily raised her head and saw that Ye Xing had already begun wiping the pistol with a handkerchief.

"This..." After a moment of silence, Lu Hanfei finally looked up, both surprised and amused. "What's going on?"

"Guards! Someone's trying to assassinate our great singer, Lu!"

Wo Zian stood up and egged her on, which made Chen Xueqing, who was next to him, unable to hold back any longer and burst into laughter, covering her mouth and stomach.

The once lifeless and exhausted photography studio was thrown into a frenzy of mockery by this unexpected little incident.

But for Su Jian, the person involved, it was extremely embarrassing, and she was blushing furiously.

"Depend on!"

She blurted it out unconsciously.

Su Jian simply forgot that she was standing in front of a microphone.

"Damn it... damn it..."

"Damn it..."

"Depend on……"

The microphone's echo lingered, instantly silencing the entire audience once again.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent again, looking at Su Jian, who was being roasted over the fire, with surprise and smiles on their faces.

“I…” Wo Zi’an laughed, “What did I hear?”

"...!"

Oh my god! I'm really doomed this time!!!

They completely forgot they were right next to the microphone, and any sentence they uttered was extremely loud.

In that instant, Su Jian's face turned ashen; she could already picture herself being drowned in the sea.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!!!"

She quickly bowed, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ye Xing take out an RPG.

Oh no, oh no, oh no... I'm really going to sink into the sea!

"I'm sorry! Please forgive me! I beg you, please forgive me!!!"

Su Jian was practically kneeling on the ground, completely at a loss. She looked at Ye Xing's gun, sweating profusely, looking exactly like a French soldier.

"What...why should I forgive you?"

Seeing her exaggerated movements and expressions, the three mentors were completely baffled, but couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Everyone looked at each other, completely baffled as to where this "simple-minded rascal" had come from.

"Spare me?" Chen Qingxue clutched her stomach, laughing uncontrollably. "Little sister, do you think you're in a movie?! Hahahaha..."

The audience burst into laughter, and the countless taunts and jeers made Su Jian blush.

But what she feared most at that moment wasn't the cold stares and ridicule of others, but rather...

I messed everything up today! I'm going to be drowned...!!!

The fear of death completely disoriented her, leaving her in a daze.

In the audience, Ye Xing's veins bulged, and after a moment of silence, he uttered a few words.

"Okay...do a good performance?"

Su Jian murmured, mimicking Ye Xing's lip movements.

The next second, Lu Hanfei's eyes flashed, and he said in surprise, "Oh? You're going to put on a good show?"

"Is it about to start?" Wiping away her tears, Wo Zi'an also came to her senses. "I'm sorry, little sister, we didn't mean to laugh at you, it's just... hahaha... It's okay, just perform well."

"Alright, let's stop laughing. It's so rude." Chen Qingxue, having finished laughing, gradually came to her senses. "Your name is Su Jian, right? We interrupted you earlier. Now, you can begin. What are you going to perform?"

"I……"

It seems like something has been misunderstood.

but……

He glanced at Ye Xing and saw that he had already put down the RPG and was looking at him with his sunglasses gleaming.

Su Jian immediately cleared her throat and tensed up nervously.

"I... will bring you a song called 'How Are You' by Flat Mouth Lun."

During her months in Thailand, Suja received daily music and music theory training in addition to dance.

I'm just not very smart, so my progress has been very slow over the past few months.

While it's not quite as "wailing and howling" as before, it's definitely not pleasant to listen to anymore.

Su Jian didn't understand why Lin Jinglong wanted her, whose singing was only so-so, to participate in the talent show, but for the sake of survival and her younger brother, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"For whom does the still clock on the wall linger? Is it like me, unwilling to move?"

The soothing piano music, devoid of any drumbeats, evokes a sense of tranquility.

In the mentors' seats, Lu Hanfei and others had already closed their eyes and were quietly enjoying the moment.

Su Jian swallowed hard and quickly continued singing.

"You said the story ended a long time ago, I forgot, forward..."

Finished!

Perhaps because of the intense nervousness, my mind went blank for a moment, and I forgot my lines.

Su Jian mumbled something in a panic, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ye Xing crush the apple in his hand, splattering juice everywhere.

!!!

People's physical conditions cannot be generalized. In a state of extreme fear of death, Su Jian actually managed to squeeze out the lyrics and continue them haltingly.

"Do you really want to know if you're doing well? Maybe not having me is a relief?"

Perhaps it's a relief if I'm not around?

The lyrics seemed to touch a part of her heart, causing Su Jian to tremble and close her eyes.

If I hadn't insisted on celebrating their wedding anniversary that day, would my parents and brother have...?
