Chapter 41 - Everyone Sing Together!
Chapter 41: Everyone Sing Together!
Lang Qi and Xiao Tian stood backstage, looking nervously at the people on stage.
Xiao Tian asked in a low voice, “What kind of medicine did you give her just now?”
“What else could it be? It’s what I usually take when I’m sleepy during filming.”
Xiao Tian sighed. “It won’t have bad side effects on the body, right?”
“I don’t know. I usually just take one, but the Veiled Queen took three at once…”
With that said, Xiao Tian became even more worried.
Would the stimulant pills be effective in counteracting the effects for someone who had taken sleeping pills? No one had ever tried it before, so they couldn’t be sure.
There was warm applause outside.
Two beams of stage lights shone down upon the two figures standing on the stage.
Bai Rong’s face was filled with a dazzling smile as if victory was in her hands.
Meanwhile, the Veiled Queen standing to the side had her head lowered, without moving at all.
The people in the audience could not see the Veiled Queen’s expression. They were subconsciously attracted to the sweet and beautiful Bai Rong.
The audience in the live broadcast room also saw the close-up footage of Bai Rong.
Immediately, the bullet screen was filled with people who were on their knees. “Goddess Bai’s beauty is incredible!”
“With such good looks, it would be a pity not to become an actress.”
“When I watch Goddess Bai’s music video, I feel that it’s a visual enjoyment.”
“Hearing is also enjoyable, right? Goddess Bai’s looks and talent are both very high.”
“I’m a little disappointed with the Veiled Queen. She doesn’t have any stage presence at all! She’s not even moving. Is she sleeping?”
“I feel the same way. After all, she’s just a stand-in who actually dares to stand on the same stage as the main character. She’s just waiting to be eliminated.”
Bai Rong’s fans were already prepared for the battle. When the live broadcast had begun, all the members of the Baiyin Pavilion fan club had poured into the live broadcast room together, contributing to the flow of the entire live broadcast room.
That feeling of being on standby for battle occupied most of the bullet screen.
At the same time, Mu Chen and Shi Mo were also watching the live broadcast.
As the music slowly played, Bai Rong was the first to open her mouth.
It was clear from the moment she opened her mouth that there was nothing special about her voice. It did not sound much different from something you would hear at an ordinary karaoke lounge. Fortunately for her, after a long period of practice, she could at least keep in the rhythm with the music.
Bai Rong was not worried about her performance at all. She continued to observe Fang Mo’er as she sang.
Seeing that she was not moving at all, the smile on her face grew wider and she sang even sweeter.
She knew that Fang Mo’er was just trying to hold on. Soon, she would make a complete fool of herself.
Bai Rong’s part in the song came to an end, so she turned an elegant gaze at Fang Mo’er.
In the next second, Bai Rong’s smile froze because Fang Mo’er smoothly followed up immediately after her.
The venue, which had been silent just a moment ago, was now shocked by Fang Mo’er’s ethereal voice.
Many people gasped.
Fang Mo’er closed her eyes as if she was completely immersed in the song. She had only sung a few lines, yet she was already able to reach people’s souls and cause them to tremble.
On the bullet screen in the live broadcast room, the members of the Baiyin Pavilion fan club were all silent.
They felt the fear of their own members being instantly shot down.
Bai Rong held the microphone so tightly that the veins on her hand were popping out. It was impossible. Fang Mo’er was already so sleepy. How was it possible that she could still sing so well?
Suddenly, Fang Mo’er stopped singing. Instead, she said, “Everyone, sing together!”
Then, she pointed the microphone towards the audience, without moving.
The sound of a chorus of fans could be heard from below the stage.
Bai Rong was stunned for a moment before she glared at Fang Mo’er.
She felt that Fang Mo’er had to be slacking off because she could no longer sing.
It was true that Fang Mo’er was slacking off. A wave of sleepiness had just struck her, which prevented her from continuing to sing. Thus, she had to turn the microphone to the audience.
That was probably because Lang Qi’s medicine had not fully taken effect yet and she was still very sleepy.
Hence, she could only stall for time and make some adjustments.
Bai Rong seemed to see some hope again. She felt that Fang Mo’er was definitely not going to make it.
After the chorus ended, it was then Bai Rong’s turn to sing the next line.
Bai Rong followed Fang Mo’er’s example and sang a few lines before turning the microphone over to the audience as well.
Her thought process was very simple. Since she was singing a duet, Fang Mo’er could not possibly continue using this routine, right? So, she might as well just let the audience finish the singing.
Therefore, after Bai Rong had finished the four lines of lyrics, she looked at Fang Mo’er with interest, waiting to watch a good show.
Fang Mo’er felt herself going through the struggle again. The feelings of drowsiness and excitement in her body were fighting with each other.
Finally, the excitement temporarily gained the upper hand.
It was at this moment that her mind became clear again, and she smoothly caught the next line of lyrics.
Once again, her heartfelt voice resonated throughout the entire venue.
Instantly, the audience quietly listened, too afraid of missing out on even one line of lyrics. Their eyes were completely mesmerized by the sight before them.
Bai Rong was flustered.
Why was Fang Mo’er still able to sing? Could it be that the sleeping pills had not worked?
Every time Fang Mo’er opened her mouth, there was a strong contrast with Bai Rong’s singing.
Everyone could clearly feel that Bai Rong’s voice was not beautiful at all. She sounded just like a singing robot without any emotions.
The Veiled Queen was the one who was singing with her soul.
