What?
Lyrics could be forgotten?
Everyone was in a disarray at that moment.
âIt canât be, right? â Feng Xiaofengâs tears were already hanging in the corner of his eyes. âPlease think about it properly. I know I was wrong to remove your performance before, but Iâll be dead if thereâs no show. Madam, please think carefully about it.â
âI really canât remember. I do want to be on this stage but...â Chen Xiaoyan looked at him apologetically, and thought hard, âIâve already decided to leave, so I forgot everything...â
âIâm also not very familiar with the key.â Chen Xiaoyan was a little worried.
Feng Xiaofengâs face was already drained of color. It was very unrealistic for him to get a new performance.
âDonât you have the lyrics and the key in your email mailbox?â Ye Lingchen could not resist asking.
âOh, yes!â The corner of Chen Xiaoyanâs mouth turned up slightly. She took out her mobile phone and looked for it, then pointed to a few places and said, âThis is useless. Iâve never rehearsed at all. What kind of musical instruments will be used in these places? I have no idea which combination would turn out to be the most suitable.â
âItâs not too late! Itâs still not too late to tweak things!â Feng Xiaofeng hurriedly shouted. âCalling all extra musicians to come over right now! Try and see which combination is best.â
âThere are thousands of combinations and only a few minutes left. How is it impossible to make it?â Someone who understood a bit about music could not help but remark.
The Spring Festival Gala strived for authenticity. It had to match the scene at hand to the most ideal state. Without any preparations, it was already too late to do anything.
âLet me see.â Ye Lingchen instigated everything for Chen Xiaoyan to make an appearance on stage. Part of it was because his vanity was at stake. After all, he was the one who invited Chen Xiaoyan to the Spring Festival Gala and she was considered as his little fangirl. If she failed, where would his prestige go?
âI think itâs better to have a combination of the piano and drums here. And here, weâll use the bass part of the erhu, and...â Ye Lingchen casually glanced through it and came up with the best solution.
âHurry up, everyone! Try it!â Feng Xiaofeng was ready to try anything at that time of crisis and shouted frantically.
At that moment, Chen Xiaoyan suddenly opened her mouth and bit down on Ye Lingchenâs shoulder.
The bite was not too heavy, then glanced at Ye Lingchen with an extremely bitter expression. The corners of her mouth were curled in a smile, but there were tears in her eyes as she quickly turned and left.
It really was him!
She should have thought of it before. She felt that he was so similar, and every time she needed help, he just so happened to be on the scene. How could there be such a coincidence?
He even claimed to be a friend of Singer Y! It was a big fat lie!
âHurry up and do a sound test!â Chen Xiaoyanâs gaffe did not attract much attention and Feng Xiaofeng yelled anxiously from behind.
That woman...
Ye Lingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head. She was just testing him just now.
The next moment, he felt someone beside him pinching him forcefully. It was Zhao Liangying, who stared at him in anger with a small face that bulged into a bun.
What was she doing? Did she want to bite him too?
âBrother Ye, I didnât expect to meet you here.â Lin Ao walked over with a smile, hugged Ye Lingchen, then immediately gritted his teeth and whispered, âF*ck, there are so many women pining with unrequited feelings for you. What number is it now? How unfortunate that my sister is still at home waiting for you!â
âAhem, itâs not like I want this.â Ye Lingchen cleared his throat and pointed at room three. âIs it okay that you beat our foreign friend so badly?â
âForeign friend, my foot! Our nation has been led astray by this kind of garbage. Iâm telling you; this directorâs about to have some bad luck. The repercussions caused by this fiasco is unimaginable!â Lin Ao whispered.
At that moment, music began to be played.
âChen Xiaoyan is ready to take the stage!â
âF*ck. So soon. Did they even have time to prepare?â
âWho knows? How about the show? â
âBeing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is something to be proud of, but I wonder whether such haste is a blessing or a curse.â
Discussions were rife backstage.
At the same time, the audience was stunned.
What was going on? It was supposed to be Hyun-Min Kimâs performance, right? How did it become Chen Xiaoyanâs song?
There was an uproar in the Spring Festival Galaâs live stream too.
[F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!]
[Something happened at the Spring Festival Gala? What the hell is going on? Wasnât Chen Xiaoyanâs performance axed?]
[This action is 666. The director does things on whim, doesnât he? Is he nuts?]
[F*ck man, I was just about to change channels because of that Stick Nation performance, but this is truly a surprise.]
[Singer Yâs song! Will it bring us another surprise?]
Someone could not resist taking out their mobile phone.
âHey, Wacko, you watching the Spring Festival Gala?â
âWho the hell is gonna watch it. They invited a Stick Nation guy to perform, so Iâm not interested. Iâm playing mahjong.â
âF*ck! The Stick Nation guy isnât performing anymore. Itâs Chen Xiaoyanâs performance! â
âWhat? Wasnât Chen Xiaoyanâs song canceled? You didnât lie to me?â
âWhy in the world would I lie to you? Her song is about to begin. Turn on the TV and watch it!â
âOkay, Iâll watch it now!â
Wacko put down the cards and quickly switched on the television in the room.
His other mahjong friends stopped playing after learning about the situation and stared at the TV intently.
âItâs Chen Xiaoyan! My goddess!â
âThe song is going to be a treat. Iâm so looking forward to it!â
...
In a certain household.
âMom, Dad, the Stick Nation performance has been canceled. Come and watch the Spring Festival Gala.â
âIs it really canceled? â
âMm, itâs gone! Look at the program! The program has been changed to Chen Xiaoyanâs song. â
âWhoâs Chen Xiaoyan? A newcomer? Well, itâs better than the Stick Nation guy!â
The old couple sat in front of the TV.
China went crazy because of that sudden change. The crowd who had vowed not to watch the Spring Festival Gala turned on the television as soon as they got the news, and they were very much looking forward to it.
Before the song even started, it was ranked first on the trending searches of Weibo and other major news platforms. [Sudden change to the Spring Festival Gala performance! Chen Xiaoyan, who was axed from the lineup, is back to take the stage!]
[Ahhhh, I support Yanyan! Come on, Yanyan!]
[Hahaha, Iâm happy! The Stick Nation must be dumbfounded. Lalala!]
[Why do I feel so happy during this Spring Festival Gala.]
[The combination of Singer Y and Chen Xiaoyan is really exciting!]
However, Hyun-Min Kimâs diehard fans were having none of it and voices of discontent were heard.
[F*ck! What the hell happened? I waited so long just to see my god Hyun-Min.]
[Sh*tty gala! Whereâs my Hyun-Min?]
[Ahhhhh, I waited in vain. Rubbish, rubbish!]
[Give me Hyun-Min! We donât want to watch Chen Xiaoyan! Hyun-Min, I love you!]
[Hey all you diehard fans, allow me to announce that your little Hyun-Min was scared sh*tless by a little mouse. He couldnât show up. Bwahahaha...]
[Are you serious? Afraid of a mouse, pffftttttâ]
[This news is 100% reliable. Where are all those diehard fans who say that Hyun-Min Kim is a man? Wow, so manly! Scared by a mouse!]
[This is a patriotic mouse. Itâs a hero. Iâll celebrate it with a song.]
[My impression of mice has changed greatly.]
