After listening to Tao Yueâs piano piece, Yang Shi didnât listen to anyone else. She went to the lounge early to wait for Tao Yue. She wanted to ask Tao Yue what was going on. Why did she play so badly today?
The staff opened the door to the lounge. The contestants came in, talking and laughing. Even Meng Xiao was very happy. She felt that she would not be able to walk down this path.
âYue Yue, whatâs wrong with you? Were you nervous?â Meng Xiao asked deliberately. âWhy do 1 feel that you didnât perform as well as I did?â
Tao Yue glared at Meng Xiao with reddened eyes but didnât speak to her.
Yang Shi walked over with a straight face and said in an unfriendly tone, âYueyue, whatâs wrong with you? Do you know what you just played?â
Tao Yue pursed her lips and said nothing. Her eyes were red, and her tears had soaked her carefully prepared makeup. Her face was indeed multicolored.
âTeacher, Iâm sorry. Iâve disappointed you.â After a while, Tao Yue cried.
Seeing her crying like this, Yang Shi didnât say anything else. âForget it. Weâll wait for the results. 1 may have to use my connections to get you another chance.â
Although Yang Shi said so, Tao Yue knew that the possibility of another match was not high. If she did it again, the other contestants would feel that their results were not good and compete again. Then what was the meaning of this match?
Tao Yue was in a bad mood. She picked up her phone and put it down again. She should have told her mother about the results after the competition, but she was not in the mood to send a message to her mother.
After a while, the staff came over to let the contestants out. The results were about to be announced.
Tao Yue didnât want to listen to the results at all. She knew that her performance was bad. If nothing unexpected happened, she would definitely be at the bottom.
Ten students would be selected according to their results in the finals, but the prizes for the competition were only gold, silver, and bronze, which corresponded to the first, second, and third place.
The judges were the guests who presented the award. They had a card in their hands, and on it was the contestant who was selected in the end.
âFirst, starting with the tenth place.â One of the judges began to read out the scores. After reading them, it was another judge who announced the ninth place.
After the top ten was announced, Tao Yue gave up completely. She didnât make it into the top ten.
Meng Xiao was very angry that she did not hear her name in the top ten. She felt that she had performed very well. How could she not be ranked?
âDo the contestants have any objections to their results? If you do, you can raise them now and we will give you an explanation for it.â
âI have objections!â Meng Xiao raised her hand. âWhy arenât I included in the top ten?â
âContestant, whatâs your name?â the host asked.
âMeng Xiao.â Meng Xiao took a step forward. âIs there something shady going on with you guys, or are you guys just too careless? Why isnât my result here?â
The host patiently said, âContestant Meng Xiao, you may not understand the rules of the competition. Before the competition, 1 said that only the top ten results will be announced. If your results are not within the top ten, it will not be announced.â
Meng Xiao disagreed. âThen how do I know how many points I got?â
âIf you want to see your results, you can contact our organizers privately. The organizers will send you your results.â The host said with a smile.
âI want to see it now.â Meng Xiao felt that something was wrong with her results. She had prepared for so long. How could she not make it into the top ten? Moreover, she felt that she played much better than the third place player. It was impossible for her not to enter the top ten.
The host turned to the judges for help.
Uncle Wu gestured for Tan Rou to speak. Tan Rou did not hesitate and reached out for the microphone. âSince sheâs curious about the results, show her then. Anyway, the results have already been released. The entire process is monitored, so we wonât change the results.â
With Meng Xiaoâs persistence, the other contestants who had failed the rankings also wanted to see the results. The organizers of the competition thought for a moment and decided to announce all the results. Since the contestants didnât mind showing their results, so why should the organizers hide them
Tao Yue wanted to see the results too , but she was also afraid of them. When the results were announced on the big screen, she closed her eyes.
Meng Xiao was ranked twenty-fifth, while Tao Yue was one place behind..
