The girl looked at Wang Peng’s sleazy grin and immediately became wary.
“Wang Peng, get lost right now! Stop messing with our He Yun.” Liu Liang’s girlfriend shoved Wang Peng to the side.
The roommates in the dorm all burst out laughing.
“What are they all laughing at?” He Yun looked completely confused.
Liu Liang’s girlfriend leaned in and whispered a few words into He Yun’s ear, and He Yun’s little face instantly turned red.
“Oh, Wang Peng! So the moves you were talking about were those kinds of moves, and the sparring was that kind of sparring. You’re such a pervert!” He Yun stuck out her tongue and made a funny face at Wang Peng.
“Haha, you’re only just finding out now? Wang Peng is the most secretly dirty guy in our whole dorm.” The roommates all burst out laughing again.
“What are you all laughing at? Shut up, you bunch of disloyal bastards. Look at Hai Zi—he’s upright and honest, doesn’t say a word. Unlike you lot, just joining in the racket.” Wang Peng hopped around, roughhousing with his roommates.
“Exactly. Who says Wang Peng is secretly dirty? Don’t go spreading nonsense if you don’t know. Um, your name is He Yun, right?” Lin Hai asked the girl.
“Right, He Yun. My—my friend. How about it, nice name, huh?” Before He Yun could say anything, Wang Peng jumped in first, though he didn’t quite dare to say the word “girlfriend.”
“Yeah, very nice.” Lin Hai nodded.
“My buddy, Lin Hai. He’s the honest one in the dorm. You heard him just now, right? He said I’m not secretly dirty at all. Don’t believe those disloyal bastards.” Wang Peng introduced Lin Hai to her.
“Exactly. I’m the most honest person around. You can trust me.” Lin Hai nodded vigorously.
“Wang Peng is absolutely not the kind of person who’s secretly dirty!” Lin Hai said with a righteous look on his face.
Wang Peng listened from the side, feeling absolutely wonderful inside.
Damn, when it really counts, Hai Zi is a true friend!
“Don’t I know Wang Peng? We’ve been together since freshman year.” Lin Hai continued.
“Yeah, yeah, we know each other best.” Wang Peng chimed in.
“Wang Peng is never secretly dirty. Wang Peng has always been openly dirty. Oh man, when he gets going, you have no idea—let me tell you all about it—”
Before Lin Hai could finish, Wang Peng clamped a hand over his mouth.
“Shut up, will you! You’re even worse than them!” Wang Peng grimaced, on the verge of tears.
“Hahahaha!” Another wave of laughter erupted.
After messing around with his classmates for a while, Lin Hai’s previously gloomy mood had improved a lot. He said goodbye to them and went back to stand behind his parents.
As soon as he saw Liu Shan in the wheelchair, Lin Hai’s heart grew heavy again.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Hai took out his phone and prepared to send Tie Guai Li a WeChat message to ask.
After all, Tie Guai Li was the Medicine King—maybe he had a way to help in this situation.
Little Confused Immortal: Are you there? I need to ask you something.
He waited a long time, but Tie Guai Li didn’t reply.
Lin Hai couldn’t help but sigh. He’s probably busy with something.
“Dear audience friends, our Youth Singing Competition is about to begin. Please maintain order. From now on, please do not walk around freely and follow the instructions of the on-site staff. Thank you for your cooperation.” The host suddenly appeared on stage and addressed the people in the venue.
The noisy venue immediately quieted down. People returned to their seats one after another, leaving only faint whispers here and there.
After waiting another ten minutes or so, the host came on stage again.
“Dear audience friends, good morning everyone. Welcome to the scene of the 6th Jiangnan City Youth Singing Competition. I’m your host, Li Yue.”
“Hello!” Li Yue was a somewhat well-known beautiful host on the local TV station. As soon as she stepped on stage, she won a round of applause.
After a dry round of opening remarks, Li Yue smiled and stepped forward.
“Now, please welcome with warm applause the guest judges of this year’s Youth Singing Competition. They are—famous singing artist Wang Dazhu, famous movie star Su Qi, and young actress Li Xue—”
Li Yue announced the guests’ names one by one. Each time a name was called, the celebrity would walk onto the judges’ panel with a smile, waving continuously at the audience below.
“Su Qi, I love you!”
“Su Qi, my pure goddess!”
“Su Qi, I want a photo with you later!”
“Wang Dazhu!”
“Li Xue!”
The audience instantly went wild. Wide-eyed fans shouted loudly at their idols, and the stars on stage seemed to enjoy the feeling, signaling to their fans in various ways.
However, it was obvious that Su Qi had the most fans, while Li Xue and the older singers had far fewer. One old man didn’t even have a single person call his name, making him sit there awkwardly on stage.
“Finally, there is also a mysterious guest judge who has come to our show. Who could she be?” After introducing the guests, the host paused and dropped the final bombshell.
“Zhao Ying! Zhao Ying! Zhao Ying!” The moment the host finished speaking, the audience erupted like a pot boiling over. People stood up frantically, shouting wildly, their eyes gleaming with fanatic light.
“Uh, some mysterious guest—seems like there’s nobody who doesn’t know by now, right?” Lin Hai found it amusing.
But seeing the audience’s reaction, Lin Hai shook his head. He’d initially thought Su Qi was the most popular, but compared to Zhao Ying, there was still a huge gap.
At this point, the host saw that the audience’s emotions had been stirred up enough and spoke again.
“That’s right! This mysterious guest is the pure and innocent queen of the music world—Zhao Ying! Let’s welcome her!”
“Dear audience friends, how are you all?” The moment the host finished, Zhao Ying, dressed in a white gown, walked out from backstage with light steps, smiling and waving continuously at the people in the audience.
“Zhao Ying, I’m dying for you!”
“Zhao Ying, marry me! Ow—who the hell hit me!”
“Zhao Ying, I want to sleep with you! Come on, baby!”
A man suddenly tore off his shirt and rushed toward the stage.
“Fuck you, how dare you molest my goddess! Beat him up!” The audience descended into chaos.
The police maintaining order rushed forward and pulled everyone apart, then dragged out the man who had already been beaten into a swollen mess.
“Let me go! I want to hug my goddess! Zhao Ying, baby, come here—”
Lin Hai was shocked by the chaos in front of him. These people were way too crazy. She’s just a singer—was there any need to go this insane?
“I really don’t know what’s going on in these people’s heads.” Lin Hai shook his head.
But one thing Lin Hai was now sure of.
Out of everyone in the hall, maybe one in ten actually came to watch the singing competition. The vast majority of these people—damn—were here to see the celebrity judges.
On stage, Zhao Ying seemed long accustomed to all this. She hadn’t even blinked during the earlier chaos, keeping her smile as she walked toward the judges’ panel.
But when she reached the middle of the stage, Zhao Ying’s steps suddenly halted.
Then, to everyone’s astonished gaze, she suddenly walked toward the audience.
