Now, not only did they not hate Zhongli Xue at all, they liked her even more and felt even more heartache for her!
âI really, really never thought that I would gain the favor of so many people. Iâm really⦠flattered.â
Zhongli Xue suddenly bowed deeply. âIâm sorry, everyone. Iâve betrayed your trust.â
Since she had already said this much, she had probably already made up her mind not to join the girl group.
The other eight debuting girls looked at each other and comforted Zhongli Xue as they went forward to hug her.
If it wasnât for Shan Ling stopping him, Luo Xingguang would have wanted to say more than this.
But after what she said, her words naturally incurred the wrath of Zhongli Xueâs fans. Especially now that they felt sorry for their goddess.
âIâm sorry everyone, the incident happened so suddenly. This was something that our mentors and the program team did not expect. Please allow us to discuss it.â
After saying this, Shan Ling was the first to turn off her microphone and walk backstage.
Luo Xingguang did not even look at Zhongli Xue, his expression cold.
Huo Yunque played with Song Yaoyaoâs fingers. The girlâs fingers seemed to be boneless. They looked slender, but in reality, they were well-proportioned and soft.
The stage was so lively, but he did not even look up.
Song Yaoyao leaned on his shoulder and asked with a smile, âGege, arenât you curious?â
âIâm curious.â
Song Yaoyaoâs face darkened.
Huo Yunque slowly added, âIâm curious where you get so much energy from.â The lights on the stage reflected on the manâs chiseled face, flickering. He chuckled and muttered, âCould it be that I didnât treat you enough last night?â
Huo Yunque took a deep breath and hissed.
âBabe, are you asking for me to play rough?â
Song Yaoyaoâs face was so red that it looked like it was bleeding. She glared at him fiercely and said, âWho told you to act so indecently!â
She lowered her hat. She did not know how many people had heard their words and was too ashamed to face them!
Finally, there was silence. Huo Yunque smiled.
The result from the mentors was announced soon thereafter. The first place forfeited her position, so the second place became the first place. The empty spot at the end would be inherited by the tenth place.
When Huo Tianâs face appeared on the big screen, Huo Tianâs fans screamed in excitement.
They, the fans, naturally hoped that she would be able to debut.
Song Yaoyaoâs small face was taut. If it was before, she would have been unable to resist discussing it with Huo Yunque. Even though he did not look at the stage, he had learned a lot from Song Yaoyaoâs description and the mentorsâ words.
Now, when he heard Huo Tianâs name, he asked in a low voice with a smile, âYouâre not going to watch anymore? Huo Tian is about to debut.â
âHmph! I donât want to talk to you. Please shut up, thanks.â
Song Yaoyao rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, trying to keep a distance from Huo Yunque.
Huo Yunque asked, âDo you think Huo Tian will agree?â
Song Yaoyao snorted. It did not seem like she was throwing a tantrum, but more like she was acting coquettishly.
âI donât think so.â
Song Yaoyaoâs lips moved. She almost asked, âWhy not?â Luckily, she managed to hold back in time.
Not long after Huo Yunqueâs voice fell, Huo Tianâs voice was heard as well.
âI reject this offer.â
The crowd fell silent once again. The audience, the mentors, and the director were all dumbfounded.
What kind of unbelievable ending did this season of Dazzling You have? In the past, they fought to the death, but now, it was like a hot potato. Didnât anyone want it anymore?
âIâm sorry to disappoint everyone who likes me, butâ¦â Huo Tianâs eyes were still a little red. She held the microphone tightly with both hands. âThis is how I am. I always get what I want myself. Since I couldnât get it this time, it meant that Iâm not capable enough. If I say this out loud, I might offend a lot of people. Let me apologize to everyone first. But these are my heartfelt words. Iâm still young, and this isnât the only path I can take. The top nine deserved their spots. Iâll continue to work hard. Thank you.â
Huo Tianâs words were extremely beautiful. So beautiful that it didnât seem like the usual Huo Tian.
According to her heiress temper, she should have thrown the microphone on the spot and said, âWhy are you giving me something that Zhongli Xue doesnât want? Do you think Iâm a garbage collector?â
A reaction like that would have suited her character.
Huo Tianâs fans were extremely happy. Although they felt regretful, Huo Tian had a plan for her future, which made them very happy.
âGo, Tian Tian!â
âIâll always support you!â
âDonât be afraid, weâll always be behind you!â
Zhongli Xue gave up her debut spot, but Huo Tian refused to take it from her.
Out of the nine spots that Pink Girl had originally planned, there were now only eight.
Song Yaoyao looked towards the stage. Huo Tian was bending over and bowing to the audience below the stage.
There was less of the pampered and willful image of an heiress, and more sincerity and humility.
She suddenly narrowed her eyes.
Huo Yunque held her wrist as if he knew what she was thinking. He explained in a low voice, âHer surname is Huo.â
After enjoying the glory of the Huos, she had also inherited their unyielding spirit.
The Huos did not accept charity.
Song Yaoyao leaned against him and did not speak.
âAre you still angry?â
She still ignored him.
Huo Yunque shook his head. âIâll promise you one thing, no matter what it is. Are you still angry?â
âJust one?â
âThenâ¦â Huo Yunque thought for a moment. âAnother strawberry cake?â
Song Yaoyao could not hold back her smile anymore. Her dimples sank. âDeal!â
â¦
There was still another act to be performed as a group. However, the absence of Zhongli Xue made the stage performance flawed.
After the performance ended, the audience left with a small gift each.
Song Yaoyao instructed Huo Jiu, âCall Huo Tian over, andâ¦ââshe pausedââIf those girls who havenât debuted are willing, let them come out for a meal together.â
Huo Jiu was stunned, then nodded respectfully. âI understand.â
Huo Yunque laughed when he heard this. He escorted Song Yaoyao out and waited outside.
Song Yao pursed her lips. âWhat are you laughing at?â
âIâm snickering.â
âWhat?â
âWhat kind of karma did I gain from my past life to meet such a beautiful and kind girl?â Huo Yunque asked.
Song Yaoyao was stunned for more than ten seconds before she came to a realization.
Waves of hot air pounced on her face. Her eyes were watery, and she raised her chin proudly. âYou finally know this? I wonder who told me they didnât like people like me.â
Then, she sneered.
âHa, menâ¦â
Huo Yunque laughed softly. âItâs my fault.â
âHmph, since you already know, you should treat me better.â Song Yaoâs eyes flickered. âFor example, when your girlfriend wants to eat a cupcake, your boyfriend has to give it to her with both hands.â
Huo Yunque: âExcept for this.â
Song Yao:ââ¦â
Letâs break up! You stupid man!
After waiting outside for more than ten minutes, Huo Tian finally came out with some other girls.
Probably because they knew that they didnât have a chance to make their debut, they were all in a decent mood.
When they saw Song Yaoyao, they immediately greeted her excitedly, âHello, Teacher Song!â
âTeacher Song, so youâre here too?â
