Chapter 1235: Chapter 1229: Again, This Same Song

Seeing this score, Zhang Zhiqian’s smile deepened, while Xie Yixin’s brows slightly furrowed without meaning to.

"Congratulations to Xu Xin for achieving a great score of 7,600, please return backstage. Next up, let’s welcome singer Liu Dongyu." Lu Piaopiao believed that with such a high score, Xu Xin was likely to easily make it into the top eight.

Xu Xin thanked everyone repeatedly, bowed, and then exited the stage to the sound of warm applause bidding her farewell.

Today, Xu Xin almost received treatment comparable to that of an A-list celebrity.

At this moment, Liu Dongyu had already approached, and as they passed each other, Xu Xin stopped, pursed her lips, and whispered softly, "Liu Dongyu, I suggest you might as well just count numbers for real; Ma Jiale has already scored 7,400, and last time you got that only with Bai Ziyu’s help onstage. Now by yourself, you basically have no chance left."

"Xu Xin, thank you for your kindness. As a contestant, since I’ve come to this stage, I must prove myself," Liu Dongyu also stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at the self-righteous woman in front of her, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes, she softly said, "Besides, whether I’ll lose or not is still unknown. However, I’m rather worried for you. Despite your excellent score of 7,600, it’d be a pity to rejoice in vain in the end!"

"Heh, I don’t know where you get your confidence from!" Xu Xin snorted coldly, thoroughly disliking the way Liu Dongyu looked at her.

At that moment, she proudly stomped her foot and turned to head backstage.

Liu Dongyu watched Xu Xin’s retreating figure intensively, a sudden sneer of mockery appearing at the corner of her mouth.

What a pity that Xu Xin couldn’t see her expression at that moment; it would definitely have made her spitting blood with frustration!

As Liu Dongyu headed towards the stage, Xu Xin had already quickly returned backstage.

She came back to her seat huffing and puffing, then turned her head to look at Li Changlin, coldly saying, "Li Changlin, you really need to give it your all today. If you don’t perform well, you might just be eliminated directly!"

"Eh, thanks for your concern," Li Changlin responded indifferently, not even glancing at Xu Xin.

Her face darkened, and she angrily retorted, "Li Changlin, who do you think you are? Thinking that I would care about you, how wishful!"

"Is that so? Thank you for the encouragement then. Don’t worry, Xu Xin, I won’t let you down." Li Changlin chuckled, feeling that Xu Xin was truly thick-headed to have interpreted his sarcasm as encouragement.

However, Li Changlin also knew that Xu Xin’s character was just like this—if he had spoken frankly, this woman might have never let it go.

"Hmph, such a pretentious person!" Xu Xin muttered under her breath and then stopped paying any attention to Li Changlin.

Because at that time, Liu Dongyu had already stepped onto the stage and began to interact with the two hosts.

"Alright, let’s now give the stage to Liu Dongyu." After some interaction, Lu Piaopiao and Wang Han prepared to step down off the stage.

"Please wait a moment, hosts." However, at this moment, Liu Dongyu suddenly called out sweetly.

"Is there something else, Liu Dongyu?" Both hosts paused, and Wang Han asked in confusion.

Liu Dongyu smiled gently, speaking calmly, "This time, I’ve arranged for a friend to help me with the singing."

"Supporting vocals?" Lu Piaopiao and Wang Han both looked at Liu Dongyu in surprise.

"Yes, supporting vocals," Liu Dongyu confirmed with a nod.

She meant supporting vocals, not just assistance with singing.

Assistance usually meant the guest could only sing a part, like an intro, similar to how Bai Ziyu had assisted Liu Dongyu last time.

Sometimes it might just be the last few lines, mainly to enhance the atmosphere on stage, equivalent to a cameo appearance.

But supporting vocals, that was a totally different story.

Because of the backup singing, it means there will be interaction with the contestants throughout the entire performance.

Even sometimes, the backup singers might overtake the main role. There was once a contestant at the Xuanyuan Good Voice who had invited a backup singer, but in the end, the backup singer completely stole the show, leaving the audience to give them a very low score. Since then, very few contestants have invited friends to join them onstage for backup singing.

However, this time, Liu Dongyu actually made a request for a backup singer, which naturally surprised both hosts immensely.

"It looks like Liu Dongyu is feeling the pressure."

"Yeah, both Ma Jiale and Xu Xin performed too well before, and there’s still Li Changlin who hasn’t appeared yet. It would be strange if Liu Dongyu wasn’t feeling the pressure."

"Who will she invite as her backup singer this time, I wonder?"

"It’s not Bai Ziyu again, is it?"

"Even if Bai Ziyu takes the stage this time, I won’t give her high marks. After all, Xu Xin sang really well this time."

"Wait and see, maybe Liu Dongyu has invited someone else!"

"Who else could it be? Who has more fame than Bai Ziyu!"

"Of course there is, what if Ye Xiyao comes!"

"Psh, how could that be possible, what does Liu Dongyu count for? She has neither the figure nor the singing skill, how could Ye Xiyao possibly come and support her!"

"Exactly, if Sister Xiyao really comes, I freaking swear I’ll kowtow to Liu Dongyu!"

"Me too, I’d join in!"

The audience below the stage was discussing in whispers, and the conversations were truly making people blush and get excited.

Lu Piaopiao and Wang Han also felt extremely awkward, but having experienced big events before, they chose to ignore those discussions and, after some confirmation, they agreed to Liu Dongyu’s request.

"Additionally, I want to change my song," Liu Dongyu then made another request.

As it is the contestants’ rightful privilege, Wang Han and Lu Piaopiao naturally wouldn’t refuse. Therefore, the two hosts called the music director over, and Liu Dongyu took the paper and pen handed by the latter and wrote down a song title very seriously.

Upon seeing the song title, the music director’s expression immediately turned into one of surprise.

Wang Han and Lu Piaopiao, curious, craned their necks to take a look and immediately froze as well.

"Liu Dongyu, are you sure you want to perform this song?" Lu Piaopiao asked oddly.

Damn it, it was "If the Wine Dries Up for Sale" again, Lu Piaopiao felt like she was being teased.

Last time, Liu Dongyu invited Bai Ziyu to sing backup, and it was this song they chose.

But unexpectedly, now when inviting a backup singer, she chose this song again. This is just toying with people!

Wang Han also had a strange expression on his face, but he didn’t say anything.

Liu Dongyu nodded earnestly and said, "Yes, I’m very sure. Please trouble the teacher."

The last sentence was addressed to the music director. After saying it, she walked over to the music director and whispered something into his ear.
