Chapter 18 - Get Lost
Two of the instructors were stunned. Why were s.h.i.+ Jin"s song and style poles apart? Had she really abandoned herself and wanted to confess her love to Chu Ling on the stage this one final time?
s.h.i.+ Jin ripped her skirt off when the music started. She was surprisingly wearing a pair of jeans under her skirt. The jeans accentuated her long slender legs and beautiful waistline.
The audience immediately reacted. "Oh G.o.d! Can you see that perfect figure of hers?"
Despite the mask on her face, everyone quickly noticed her perfect figure.
s.h.i.+ Jin quickly opened her mouth and caught the attention of both their eyes and ears.
The rhythm was great, but as for the song…
Everyone waited in antic.i.p.ation for the words to come out of s.h.i.+ Jin"s mouth:
Get lost. This hypocritical tenderness.
Get lost. I keep hanging around.
Get lost. This romantic rhetoric.
Get lost. Your unfathomable little plots.
Memories keep warning me to forget you completely.
Leave me alone. This lying poison.
Get lost! Get out of my life!
It was not a ballad. Instead, it was a fast-paced song that was usually not s.h.i.+ Jin"s style.
Chu Ling"s fans were briefly stunned before someone took the lead to applaud. More people ended up clapping.
The instructors started to clap as well with Yu Guannan standing at their lead.
Yu Guannan did not expect s.h.i.+ Jin to have such explosive power. Initially, he was concerned that she was incapable of expressing it in the lyrics.
A look of surprise flashed across Chu Ling"s face briefly before he suppressed it using the self-control he honed through years of practice. He kept up a smile and looked poised.
***
Song Fan knew that he was about to get saved. He knew it from the moment he heard s.h.i.+ Jin"s first sentence.
Fu Xiuyuan"s anger that had been bottling for three days gradually dissipated as s.h.i.+ Jin sang.
He finally dared to take a close look at the viewers" comments.
The comments were flooded with question marks. Everyone a.s.sumed that this was going to be a live telecast of s.h.i.+ Jin throwing herself at Chu Ling. However, the more people felt this way, the more shocked they ended up.
"Why is Little Stone doing this?"
"Is she saying goodbye to Chu Ling?"
"How dare she treat Chu Ling this way?"
"Impossible! How could Little Stone bear to do it considering how nice Chu Ling is?"
"This song doesn"t sound half-bad. I want to sing it to my ex too!"
"Please send me the link to download the song!"
Halfway through the show, s.h.i.+ Jin"s song instantly hit the top spot on music platforms and became the most searched and downloaded song! She had broken the record for the program!
By the end of the show, s.h.i.+ Jin finally escaped the fate of hovering on the pa.s.sing mark and rose to the 15th position for the first time. That meant she ranked right in the middle out of the 30 contestants.
That was only because Chu Ling"s fans had cast their votes on other contestants in a bid to suppress s.h.i.+ Jin"s scores. Otherwise, she would have come in the top ten based on her performance.
Chu Ling went backstage gruffly with the agent following behind consoling him, "Chu Ling, don"t think about it. It"s just a song!"
Deng Yufei also said softly, "Uh huh. It"s just a song. It can"t possibly affect you in any way."
"Get out!" Chu Ling pointed at the door.
Chu Ling was keenly aware that it was merely a song and that s.h.i.+ Jin was in his past.
