Chapter 999: Chapter 990: Rumors (2)

After finishing the dance, she struck a pose alone at one side, while the other two stood closer together. Yet, the camera focused on her for several seconds, zooming in and freezing on her face, while the other two were barely shown.

If you didn’t see it live, you’d never guess—she was actually just the supporting role, with the other two as the lead performers. But she earned the C-position through skill, and she definitely wouldn’t back down—she took to it like she owned it!

As the music finished, thunderous applause erupted from the audience!

Her visuals were stunning, her singing was great, and her dancing was even better! Though Xia Siyu only had a couple of solo singing lines, and her voice barely appeared in the harmonies afterward, none of that mattered!

What mattered was—the performance was absolutely brilliant!

After all, Xia Siyu came from an acting background, so her stage presence was impeccable. She knew exactly how to work the camera angles. Her poses were effortlessly natural—no cloying flirtation, no trying to act cool, and certainly no cringy air kisses. She simply stood there, slightly curling her lips into a smile. The camera only needed to zoom in on her face, and that was enough.

She could confidently declare that she earned her place in the industry through her looks—honestly, proudly, and unapologetically.

But she wasn’t just about her looks. Her dance moves elevated her appeal by an immeasurable degree. Who could have imagined? Her previous, seemingly casual decision to increase the difficulty of her choreography—because she knew her singing wasn’t her strong suit—ended up delivering unexpectedly amazing results.

After all, they were actors. No matter how pleasant an actor’s singing might be, it’s hard to outshine professional singers. But dancing? That’s a completely different story. When it comes to dancing, she was seriously top-notch.

Right after she finished her segment, some speedy editors managed to clip and upload her dance performance onto Weibo. Some even went further, setting up elaborate comparisons between her and current idols from reality shows. The results? A complete blowout. Her skills outshone theirs by a mile. And she was prettier, with a better figure to boot.

For artists, what’s most important? Professional ability. As long as you’re not breaking laws or engaging in shady behavior, if your skills are strong, even casual observers will defend you. Xia Siyu was proving that point right now.

Among all the edits circulating online, the audience favorite was undoubtedly her duet dance with Bo Yan. This wasn’t just captivating—it was downright enchanting and alluring! And with a handsome man and a beautiful woman, their chemistry and synchronization were perfection.

Perhaps the only ones in the world who disliked Xia Siyu were Bo Yan’s diehard fans. Even though they begrudgingly admitted that she was gorgeous and danced well, they still couldn’t resist throwing shade:

"Isn’t she supposed to be the supporting character? Why does she get so many camera shots?"

"She barely sang two lines, right?"

"Hilarious. She’s just backup dancing in the background, but acting like she’s the center. Seriously, does she even deserve it?"

...

This time, though, the casual netizens all rallied behind Xia Siyu, and the online discourse overwhelmingly favored her for once:

"But she’s stunning, though."

"Exactly! Who says singing has to be the only qualifier for the C-position? I’d argue that dancing deserves the spotlight—deal with it!"

"Once you see her face, do you even care what she sings? I just want to watch her move!"

...

During the live interview afterward, Wang Ju joined the stage. Besides her, the mic rotations were shared between Bo Yan and Shang Feifei. Xia Siyu stood quietly by the side, listening as the host asked Bo Yan, "How does it feel to work with two great beauties?"

Bo Yan responded in a textbook professional manner: "This is my second time collabing with Fei’er. We’re familiar with each other now—she’s very skilled and dedicated. Working with her has been a pleasure."

The host, of course, wouldn’t let him off so easily: "And what about Siyu?"

As soon as the question was posed, Bo Yan and Xia Siyu exchanged glances, their eyes meeting briefly.
