Chapter 136

Speaking of Jiang Cheng telling on Su Manyao about what's happening now, he isn't worried at all; this was done right in front of Su Manyao, it's no big deal.

But the incident last time when someone blocked Jiang Cheng downstairs to ask for his phone number is different; back then they didn't know Jiang Cheng was Su Manyao's boyfriend, and if Manyao found out...

They might then think he truly likes Jiang Cheng, rather than just messing around with Jia Cheng.

The nature of the matter would be different, so when Jiang Cheng said he wanted to talk about the previous incident, he instantly felt guilty.

Time quickly came to 19:58, the program is about to broadcast!

Su Manyao also walked out of the room in her pajamas and sat beside Jiang Cheng.

Su Manyao's hair was still a bit damp; she always does this, never drying it all at once.

She was rubbing the ends of her hair with her hand; the damp tips lightly brushed against her snow-white collarbone and shoulders.

"I saw online comments saying this show focuses on originality, mainly challenging the composers' originality, but to better showcase it, they added singers—so are you the performing singer or the composer?"

Si Ling interrupted Jiang Cheng's train of thought, her feet placed on the outside of his thighs, pulling his arm as she asked him.

Jiang Cheng glanced at her and said, "What's it to you?!"

"Ah! You're making me furious!" Si Ling planted her feet on the sofa and lunged to tickle Jiang Cheng, but he grabbed her and pressed her down onto the sofa.

Speaking of Si Ling's figure, it's really hot; when she leaned her back against the sofa, she only felt a ripple in front.

"You won't even watch it yourself later, it's about to start!" Jiang Cheng said irritably.

"Manyao, look, he's bullying me!"

Si Ling climbed up, tidied her clothes, and tattled to Su Manyao.

Su Manyao sat nearby rubbing her hair, without even glancing over, and said, "Let you make a fuss—you deserve to be bullied."

"You two are both bullying me!"

Si Ling said aggrievedly, puffing her lips with an unhappy face.

The living room projector was turned on, light spilling onto the screen.

Su Manyao opened the Douyin video app, so they could watch it via the projector.

Although she didn't hold any expectations for Jiang Cheng's results in this show.

After all, as she knew, although the singers are amateurs, they actually have a lot of experience, seasoned composers; Jiang Cheng, such a newbie, although he's written two classic works, classic works are rare finds, wanting to PK those old-timers, he might still lack some foundation.

But she was equally curious about how Jiang Cheng would perform on the show.

After the projector was turned on, the lights in the living room were switched off, leaving only a strip of ambient light.

Jiang Cheng discovered that, in the dim light, Su Manyao's skin was still as fair as ever.

Such a wife, if one could keep holding her and pah pah pah, isn't she still a wife?

I just don't know when I'll be able to call her wife, hold her in my arms and bully her fiercely.

Si Ling poked Jiang Cheng's lower back.

Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at her; she still had a look of grievance, a pitiful appearance, and said, "I guess you're a composer, right?"

Jiang Cheng said, "Congratulations on getting it right, too bad there's no reward."

"Then tell me what song you wrote?" Si Ling's eyes lit up, as if forgetting what just happened, she leaned in again, grabbed Jiang Cheng's arm, bent her legs, and rested her knees on him.

Jiang Cheng pointed to the curtain on the wall ahead and said, "The live broadcast has already started, hasn't it? You can tell at a glance."

At this moment on the screen, the live broadcast had begun, but in fact it was a recording. The host had already finished the opening remarks.

Then the four judges were introduced, the camera panned to the audience, and the seats were filled with students invited from various universities in Modu; at that moment their faces beamed with happy smiles, they held plastic clap rhythm instruments, and cheered.

Of course the cheers were directed at the four judges; from the camera one could see that many people in the audience were holding banners and posters.

On them were Na Jin's, Zhoudong's, as well as the Queen's and Huang Zhengming's.

Among them, Zhoudong's were the most, followed by Na Jin's; those two had the most posters.

The Queen and Huang Zhengming were split fifty-fifty, relatively fewer; these two also rarely appeared on screen for a long time.

The Queen is so because of marriage; later, although she divorced again, she is often called by the media the most intellectual single mother in the Entertainment Circle.

Huang Zhengming, on the other hand, has expanded his business, with disciples and subordinates spread throughout the Entertainment Circle, rarely appearing personally.

The camera pulled back from the audience, then, guided by host Ya Ya, shifted to the four judges again.

Slim-waisted and long-legged, Ya Ya, like a rich beautiful woman, stood on the stage, poised and graceful, smiling brightly and said:

!

"This is the first episode of our show's broadcast; Zhoudong, is there anything you'd like to say to the contestants?"

Zhoudong paused, touched his nose with his hand, and said, "Not bad; our stage is just big, I hope everyone lets loose and shows off, believing they're the most badass."

Oh~

Immediately, a wave of exclamations came from below the stage.

Zhoudong, somewhat embarrassed, nodded slightly, palms together to indicate the next speaker.

Without the host needing to say it, following seat order, the camera had already turned to Na Jin.

Na Jin wore a ponytail, her skin somewhat dark, but her features were well-defined, giving off a slightly mature vibe.

She curled her thin lips into a smile and said, "This show seems quite fun; first, we cannot see what the contestants look like, only hear their voices; then, if we approve of them, we can press the turn switch, and turning indicates a vote to advance."

"He needs at least two judges to press the turn switch simultaneously to gain the qualification to advance."

Na Jin said up to this point, looking at Ya Ya and asking, "Our show still has the team system, right?"

Ya Ya nodded and said, "Yes, we four judge-teachers each represent a team; in the first round each team has four opportunities to recruit members."

"Only contestants recruited by a team can advance to the next round."

"So the game's rule is: contestants go on stage to sing; if two or more mentors press the turn switch, the contestant gets a chance to advance; next comes the contestant's choice—he can pick one of the mentors who turned for him to join their team."

"If a mentor's team already has four members, they cannot take any more."

"But if a mentor hasn't filled their roster, they must revive eliminated contestants to make up four team members."

"At the same time, the judges score the original songs and performers; the scoring segment involves audience voting to compete for points."

Ya Ya was explaining the program rules on stage.

But actually, the audience watching the show doesn't care much, because as long as they keep watching later, they'll naturally understand.

It's nothing more than a competition.

Si Ling, sitting beside Jiang Cheng, asked: "Then can you tell me, have you advanced, and whose team did you choose?"

"I guess it's Sister Najin, right?"
