Chapter 99

  In the auditorium, the final has entered its last phase.

  "......Alright, Teacher Xiao also gave out her own score, and Ruo Fei is still temporarily in the lead!"

  On the vast stage, Luo Fei and Qi Yi Chen stood side by side. After Zheng Qi's defeat and withdrawal from the scene, only the two of them were left on the stage. Qi Yi Chen slightly turned his head, and Luo Fei seemed to have a tacit understanding as he followed suit, turning his head to exchange a smile with him.

  The champion is selected by the judges' scores and on-site audience voting. Now, three judges have given their own scores, only Shi Dongning has not announced.

  Shi Dongning's emphasis on and cultivation of Luo Fei is clear to everyone, and no one doubts that he will provide the greatest support for Luo Fei's road to becoming champion. On the other hand, Shu Mu - the recent turmoil still fresh in mind, it remains to be seen whether Shu Mu will publicly settle old scores with Luo Fei on live broadcast, under the gaze of thousands, which is one of tonight's biggest attractions!

  After all, he is the fifth judge and can give an extra 100 points to any contestant before announcing the audience voting results as "dream helper points". If these 100 points were given to Qi Yichen, then Luo Fei -

  Destined to have nothing to do with the championship!

  "Before announcing the score of Shi Dongning, I'd like to ask Yichen a question." The atmosphere was tense and on edge, but the host seemed relaxed, smiling as he leaned in, "Yichen, we all know you and Luo Fei are good brothers. If your good brother wins the championship tonight, will you be happy for him?"

  "Of course." Qi Yichen looked at Luo Fei deeply, and the other person also smiled back, "We've long agreed that no matter who gets the championship, we'll consider it a joint success for both of us. However...Luo Fei, if you really win, don't forget to treat me to mala pot!"

  "No problem!" Kuang Fei readily agreed, and the two simultaneously raised their fists. Under the light, the young and sharp fists fiercely collided with each other.

  The audience below suddenly erupted into screams.

  "Great! It's precisely because of this rare brotherly love that our Star Voice Generation is even more pure!" The host, as if also infected with emotion, raised his arm high, "Now, please let the big screen reveal Teacher Shi Dongning's score just now!"

  Each judge's score will be given out simultaneously when the two finish all performances, and strictly kept confidential, one by one. So as soon as the host finishes speaking, all the audience's eyes are glued to the big screen, staring at those two rows of rapidly changing numbers.

  The urgent drumbeat echoed in the broadcast hall, and everyone involuntarily clenched their fists. Suddenly, the drumbeat stopped abruptly, and on the screen, two clear numbers suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

  "39 points... 61?" The host couldn't believe his eyes, and under the gaze of everyone, he seemed to murmur and repeat twice, "Teacher Shi, you gave Luo Fei 39 points? Teacher Shi Dongning, did you give Luo Fei 39 points?"

  Too low!

  Too unbelievable!

  Everyone suspected that Shi Dongning had filled in the wrong score, otherwise, how could he have given Luo Fei only 39 points!

  This is the singer he has always been most optimistic about and has invested the most heart and soul in cultivating!

  "Luo Fei's singing just now had a wrong note." The audience's gaze was like a sharp arrow, as if it would pierce through Shi Dongning's back with several holes. Even the instructors looked at him with an astonishing gaze, but he seemed to be unaware of it and continued to explain into the microphone, "For Luo Fei now, this kind of low-level mistake should not appear again. So I personally think that this is unforgivable, from a musical perspective, we must deduct points for him."

  Just kidding!

  "Old Shi!" The music critic, who was also one of the four judges, secretly turned off his microphone. Taking advantage of the camera not being on him, he opened his mouth to argue, but before he could speak, his collar was suddenly pulled twice with great force.

  He subconsciously came back to his senses, Tan Xiao's face was serious, and he slowly but firmly shook his head.

  Indeed, Kong Fei's performance was perfect, and the slight pitch error only added a minor flaw to an otherwise flawless show.

  But...

  Do you really think Shi Dongning deliberately lowered his score just because of Luo Fei's walkover?

  A Pu's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Shu Mu, who was sitting in the Dream Guide position not far away.

  That exquisite face wore a hint of a smile as he gazed down at the stage from his lofty height, as if everything in his eyes was just a monkey show.

  The scene was increasingly intense, and even through the TV screen, all the audience could feel the questioning voices that were suppressed on the scene. As a host, such situation was rarely seen before, so under the pressure of time, he had to push the competition to proceed to the next segment.

  "Great, now the situation on the field has reversed, Qi Yichen caught up and overtook Rong Fei by 17 points! The host turned his gaze to Shu Mu, "Now, let's..."

  "Wait a minute." Shu Mu suddenly spoke up, "Before everyone votes, I have something to announce here."

  The scene immediately fell silent.

  "Although I just sat on the stage at this moment, but this game, I have been paying attention all along." Shu Mu stood up, turned to the audience, stretched out his right hand and pointed to the two people on the stage. "This game has given me a lot of moving moments, whether it's the students' never-give-up spirit or the mutual help between each other, they have all touched me deeply. But what touches me most is the brotherly love between Luo Fei and Qi Yi Chen."

  He smiled and glanced at the stage: "Everyone knows that I am now starting my own company, investing in film and television dramas, and releasing albums for singers." He shrugged his shoulders, revealing a slightly embarrassed smile amidst the applause, "A movie I'm involved in is currently casting, we've already invited director Ren Ji Lin, scriptwriter Wu Tong, and..."

  These names are on everyone's lips, and with each one he says, the audience's applause becomes more enthusiastic. By the end, the audience's appetite has been whetted to the sky, and only then does he say calmly and unhurriedly: "So I'm issuing an invitation here, hoping to have the good fortune to invite the two of you on stage to star in my movie."

  In the thunderous applause, the host's back was instantly covered in cold sweat.

  Although it's great to invite two students to participate in a big production movie, shouldn't this be communicated with the organizers first?

  He really didn't have the authority to make such a big decision for the two students, but he was in control of the whole scene. In his anxiety, he quickly turned his head towards the side of the stage during the gap when the camera was focused on Shu Mu.

  "Brother Bei, what's going on?" Receiving the host's pleading gaze, Xiao Pu also panicked and quickly asked Bei Fengming beside him.

  His subconscious told him that at this time, it was useless to expect Qin Yige, the director who had asked Shu Mu to be a judge in the first place, and Bei Fengming was more reliable.

  Bei Fengming didn't respond to him. For the first time, a fierce flame that couldn't be described or explained ignited in those eyes that always seemed to be smiling.
