Chapter 7: Why do you give us zero points? You are clearly seeking revenge 3
boom--
Suddenly, the door of the dressing room was pushed open, and all the contestants who were talking stopped. Song Xiwei rushed into the dressing room with a pale face and tears still on her face. She was always beautiful and calm, but now she looked a little downcast and embarrassed.
"Song Xiwei, don't be sad, you performed very well!"
"Yes, Master Hang might be in a bad mood today. He also gave Isabel a zero!"
"Don't be sad, we all like your performance very much!"
All the contestants in the dressing room surrounded her and tried to comfort Song Xiwei one by one.
"Thank you everyone, I'm fine." Song Xiwei wiped the tears from her face and forced a smile.
"You are so strong! I admire you so much!"
"You sang so beautifully just now, have you ever learned to sing?"
…
Seeing Song Xiwei's smile again, the contestants all forgot their previous nervousness and surrounded her with questions.
"Thank you, everyone. Let's do our best !" Song Xiwei regained her perfect and calm appearance and said to everyone with a smile.
"Yes, we will definitely try our best!" Everyone nodded excitedly and regained their confidence.
What Song Xiwei said really worked. I looked at Song Xiwei who was surrounded by people and I looked at her with new eyes. I thought she would cry and complain to everyone about the unfairness, but I didn't expect her to encourage other contestants. If it were me, I would definitely not be as calm as her.
Song Xiwei glanced at me sitting in the corner, pushed away the other contestants, walked over, sat in front of the makeup mirror next to me, then took out makeup cotton and makeup remover, and started removing her makeup.
The competition continued as other contestants walked out of the dressing room one after another.
I carefully cleaned the harmonica while watching the live broadcast on TV. But Hang Weicheng was still like a possessed man, giving all the contestants zero points for no reason. The competition was greatly affected by him, and the performances of the following contestants were more abnormal than the last, and some were even so nervous that they made frequent mistakes.
"This kid, what does he want to do! Has he made up his mind to give all the contestants zero points!" I couldn't bear it anymore, I jumped up from the chair, stared at Hang Weicheng on TV, and shouted indignantly.
It's a mess! It's all a mess! The competition has become a mess because of that brat Hang Weicheng! I paced around the dressing room with my fists clenched. It's my turn soon. The previous contestants didn't offend Hang Weicheng, but that guy gave them zero points. It seems that I can't escape Hang Weicheng's clutches today! Damn it, I have to get two zeros in the preliminary and final rounds!
What should I do! What should I do! I can't lose the victory because of Hang Weicheng! In order to leave this damn broken island, I must win the victory! Damn it - but the current situation is really as bad as it can be. I am so far away from the victory. It's all because of that bastard Hang Weicheng! Why are we all shrouded in his shadow!
"Stop turning around. I'm feeling dizzy!" I don't know when Yi Youxi woke up, leaned against the dressing table, and glanced at me with a frown.
"Yi Youxi, you're awake! You don't know what medicine Hang Weicheng took today, and he gave zero points to every contestant!" I rushed to him as if I saw a savior, and said anxiously. Yi Youxi always looked confident, maybe he could come up with a solution!
"So what?" Yi Youxi asked coldly, glancing at me. He looked so calm, as if we were talking about the weather.
"Have you forgotten that brat Hang Weicheng has always treated us as enemies? We will definitely eat his duck eggs!" I held my head, anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
"Since he gave zero points to all other contestants, what are you afraid of?" Yi Youxi turned his head and gave a meaningful sneer, his blue-purple pupils deep and bottomless.
"Huh?" I looked at him in confusion, unable to wrap my head around it. Yi Youxi seemed to have something else in his words!
Song Xiwei, who was sitting on the side removing her makeup, stopped and turned to look at Yi Youxi in astonishment, her eyes wide open, as if she realized something from Yi Youxi's words.
"Hmph!" Yi Youxi sneered, his blue-purple eyes as sharp as arrows. "Since he can only give zero points, then his score does not need to be calculated. We just need to perform hard and win the praise of other judges!" He spread his hands and smiled fearlessly.
"Yes!" I suddenly realized. That guy's action actually benefits me, and now I am equal to other players! Today's situation is completely different from yesterday. Yesterday I was the only one who got zero eggs, but today all the players are eating with me! I don't have to worry about Hang Weicheng giving me zero eggs!
"Why didn't I think of that? Hang Weicheng is such an idiot! Haha——" I laughed happily, and the sky above my head suddenly became clear. The victory of the talent show was in my pocket!
"He's not stupid, but I don't know what he wants to do." Yi Youxi narrowed his eyes and stared at the TV. The camera was facing Hang Weicheng. Hang Weicheng was holding his chin with one hand, with a faint sneer on his face and a deep gaze that was hard to fathom. Yi Youxi pursed his lips, his pupils kept shrinking... and shrinking...
Song Xiwei looked at Yi Youxi, frowned her long eyebrows, her eyes were erratic, and her thoughts were flying to who knows where. What was she thinking? Like Yi Youxi, was she also guessing what Hang Weicheng wanted to do?
Humph! That guy's head is filled with straw, and everything he comes up with is garbage. No doubt about it!
"The 26th group of contestants are almost ready. It will be your turn soon!" The staff member pushed open the door of the locker room and shouted at Yi Youxi and me while standing at the door.
"Oh!" I nodded. He glanced at us, turned around and left in a hurry.
Who cares what that guy is thinking? I must show my strength today, impress all the judges with my piano playing, and then win and return home in triumph! The flame of battle is burning in my body.
I want to be in my best condition! I adjusted my appearance again in front of the makeup mirror, then walked to the dressing table next to Song Xiwei, picked up my pink kettle, unscrewed the lid and took a big sip of water. I want to moisturize my throat and blow out the most perfect tone!
However, a burning sensation rushed from my tongue straight into my throat, quickly spreading to my entire brain, almost plundering all my senses! "Poof—" I opened my mouth wide and spit out all the water I had just drunk.
"Ah!" Song Xiwei was splashed with water by me and dodged away in embarrassment.
"It's so spicy... cough cough cough... It's so spicy that it's killing me... cough... cough cough cough..." I was choking on the spiciness and my nose was snotty and tears were coming out. My whole face was red from coughing. Although I spit out the saliva in time, some of it was still swallowed. It felt like there was a fire burning in my throat, and there were thousands of ants crawling around. It was painful and itchy. "Cough cough cough... cough... cough cough cough..." I pinched my throat and almost coughed out my internal organs.
"What's wrong?" Yi Youxi hurried over, supported me as I was coughing and staggering, and asked worriedly.
"Did you choke on the water?" Song Xiwei patted my back carefully to help me calm down.
“No… cough cough cough… no… cough… the water is so spicy… cough cough cough…” I pointed at the kettle that had fallen over on the dressing table, sweating profusely as I spoke.
Yi Youxi frowned as he looked at the kettle. The pink kettle was lying on the dressing table, and the water inside was gurgling out, flowing down the table and dripping onto the floor. On the white floor, the pool of water was actually slightly red. Yi Youxi walked over, picked up the kettle, and sniffed it. A sharp light suddenly flashed from his blue-purple eyes, and the expression on his face turned grim. "It's mixed with chili water." He frowned.
Chili water? "How come there is chili water in my water bottle... cough cough cough..." I snatched the water bottle from his hand, put it to my nose and sniffed it, and sure enough, I smelled a pungent spicy smell. "How could this be... cough... who put chili water in my water bottle... cough cough cough..." I raised my head and looked at Yi Youxi, still coughing as I spoke. Damn it! That painful and itchy feeling just wouldn't go away!
"I don't know, but I can be sure that person doesn't want you to win." Yi Youxi narrowed his eyes, his blue-purple pupils were as deep as the sea.
I opened my eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief. Is there someone trying to stop me from winning? "Ahem... could it be... another contestant?"
"Maybe." He said lightly, his blue-violet eyes as sharp as arrows.
"Ah - that person is so scary!" Song Xiwei covered her mouth, her eyes wide open with a terrified expression.
