A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 279 - 276: Dancing for the Truth

"Oh?" The host asked curiously: "How do you want to express it?"

Shi Su turned her gaze to the other side of the host, looking at Shi Yunyin who was also sizing her up, and smiled: "No competition, this dance, I’ll perform it for you."

The audience below was shocked, thinking they had misheard.

Everyone’s expressions varied, with disdain, curiosity, and mostly disbelief.

Is she crazy? Is Shi Su so desperate for fame that she’s gone mad?

The live broadcast chat was already filled with curses.

[No way? "Chi Xiao" is my white moonlight, how dare a plagiarist come and taint our "Chi Xiao"?]

[What right does she have to dance in Shi Yunyin’s place?]

[This woman is really something, I almost became a fan watching her as Tian Yuli, but the act of plagiarizing dance moves is unforgivable!]

[Is she insane? She wants to dance for Shi Yunyin? Where does she get her confidence from?]

However, at this moment, Shi Su’s long sleeves suddenly and seemingly casually fluttered, the lengthy water sleeves unfurled, leaving the host momentarily stunned. Shi Yunyin, who originally wanted to stop her from dancing, hesitated because Shi Su had already tossed the sleeves out. If she spoke now, she would seem overly anxious.

"Is there music for ’Chi Xiao’?" Shi Su asked as if she didn’t notice the gazes from the audience, directly looking at the host.

The host quickly nodded: "Yes, yes! Sound technician, please!"

The music quickly started playing in the venue.

The microphone in Shi Su’s hand had already fallen into the host’s hand. Shi Su gracefully raised her water sleeves and effortlessly began to dance elegantly on the stage.

Her outfit seemed too plain at first, but when the water sleeves spread out, they unexpectedly brought a stunning effect.

This dance...

Looks very similar.

Even exactly like the one in the movie from five years ago.

The audience found it strange.

The live chat’s curses had turned into everyone spamming the words "Dongshi imitates Xishi."

Audience members started to lead the mood with insults: "What right does a plagiarist have to perform? Get off the stage!"

The scene gradually started spiraling out of control, with curses ringing non-stop.

Shi Su seemed not to hear, immersing herself in the music long absent for five years, her movements unaffected, fluid, and graceful.

Her water sleeves gracefully fluttered, as if she were the female protagonist in "Chi Xiao" from five years ago who captivated everyone with a dance, securing a spot by the king’s side and successfully stealing enemy secrets.

Despite the curses around her, they were gradually mixed with a few comments: "But, don’t you guys think her dance is really good? Even more emotional than the original..."

The live broadcast’s chat still contained curses, but gradually another kind of voice emerged—

[No wonder she’s so confident, she does dance very well.]

[At this level, she’s surpassed the original...]

[No matter how well she dances, it doesn’t change the fact she’s imitating, doesn’t this just prove she indeed plagiarized this dance back then!]

...

The music stopped.

Shi Su slowly retracted her water sleeves, lifted her gaze, and directly looked into the camera with a clear, firm look, accompanied by a calm and resolute smile.

What kind of gaze was this?

As if she was the one truly meant to stand at the pinnacle, yet the pearl had been covered in dust for too long. Now that the pearl was re-emerging, she just quietly stood there, emanating dazzling brilliance.

The host came forward, handing her the microphone, and asked: "That was amazing, but I’m very curious, with Yunyin on stage, why did you suddenly decide to dance for her? Do you have a special attachment to this dance, or is there a story you want to share with everyone?"

Shi Su took the microphone, and calmly and clearly stated: "There’s no particular attachment, it’s just something I’ve already done once five years ago, so today is simply the second time."

A sudden strange silence fell on the stage—

Everyone’s face seemed to instantly say: What does that mean?!

The live chat was flooded with question marks, and the media reporters and promotional accounts with sharp instincts immediately focused all their attention on Shi Su’s words.

Still on stage, Shi Yunyin suddenly clutched her heart, swaying slightly.

Shi Yunyin’s assistant and bodyguard quickly rushed over to support her, saying: "Apologies, Yunyin hasn’t been feeling well recently, we’ll take her to rest backstage for a bit."

The host, slightly thrown off by the surprise, almost forgot how to control the situation, quickly said: "Alright, alright, please go ahead."
