After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Barely Passing (Added More)

Luo Xiaoqian, already somewhat nervous, naturally became even more tense.

There was no one clearer about that person’s strictness than her. He had said he would not give her any advantage, and he was definitely a man of his word.

This time, she had to really push herself; she couldn’t let him look down on her!

Soon, it was Xu Xia’s turn.

Although she was a bit off due to nerves when she started singing, she quickly found her groove, and her subsequent performance could be considered quite noteworthy. The judges all gave her fairly high marks.

”I like your explosive power, eight points!” Leng Zimo also awarded his highest score of eight points for the first time—the most he had given out before was six.

”Thank you!” Xu Xia bowed deeply to the judges before turning and descending from the stage.

Out of the randomly chosen audience section of two hundred people, she received one hundred thirty-four votes, or 134 points. Together with the judges’ total score of thirty-six, she had a combined total of 170 points, which, for the moment, was the highest score of the competition.

After Xu Xia, several other contestants took the stage, but their performances were unremarkable.

It wasn’t long before it was Shen Xinyi’s turn.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped up onto the stage with her head held high.

Her performance costume, a combination of black and silver, complemented her tall figure and elegant demeanor, giving her the air of a major star. She received considerable applause and cheers as soon as she appeared.

As the music started, she sang with emotive expression.

”Only later did I realize, loving you became a habit,

I learned to tell the same lies as you,

You always want me by your side...”

Having studied vocal music from a young age, her singing technique was undoubtedly professional—perfect vibrato, effortless high notes...

Her performance for the first half of the song was nearly flawless.

During the musical interlude, she gracefully walked over to a corner of the stage with a piano. It seemed casual as she lightly touched the keys, the blade she held slipped between two of them. Even with Xu Xia gaining a high score of 170, she was genuinely worried about how Luo Xiaoqian would fare in the competition.

Despite several hesitations, she nevertheless decided to use this move.

No one noticed her slight manipulation, assuming it was all part of the stage act.

The music moved into the second half, and she continued to sing.

By the time she finished the entire song, her performance was exceptional.

”My god, this isn’t a competition; this is like a major star’s performance!” exclaimed the host Han Jun as he walked onto the stage. ”What are we waiting for? Let’s have two hundred voters vote for Shen Xinyi!”

The lights flickered before stopping over Section A.

Two hundred people from Section A would vote for Shen Xinyi.

As the audience members pressed the buttons of their voting devices, the numbers on the big screen climbed incrementally.

”165... 170... 180... 184... 190... 191... 199!” Ouyang Qing counted the numbers dramatically. ”Just one vote shy of a perfect score. So, judges, what about you?”

The judges revealed their scores one after another.

Adams, ten points.

Park Anzi, ten points.

Ya Nan, nine points.

Shen Xinyi looked joyfully toward Leng Zimo, very satisfied with her performance that evening.

Leng Zimo’s face was devoid of much expression. He simply picked up his pen, quickly wrote a number on his placard, and then raised it.

On the placard was a forceful number.

Six.

Six points, barely passing!

”Your technique is unassailable, like a piano that’s perfectly in tune, beautiful but, hollow,” he said.
