After rejecting my celebrity husband-Chapter 100 The Male God Arrives

"No, I have to go talk to her!" Xu Xia said, clenching the list and preparing to confront Lin Luoshi.

"There’s no need!" Luo Xiaoqian quickly held her back, "You can’t outmuscle the thigh with your arm!"

If drawing number "1" were merely a coincidence, then the program list clearly had been tampered with deliberately.

Having no entanglements with Lin Luoshi and the others, Luo Xiaoqian naturally didn’t think they were deliberately making things difficult for her. If her guess wasn’t wrong, this must have been Leng Zimo’s doing.

Xu Xia understood her reasoning and, unwilling to let her good friend be mistreated, said, "How about I switch with you?"

"Xu Xia, even you look down on me?" Luo Xiaoqian countered.

Jazz was Xu Xia’s forte, and of course, Luo Xiaoqian didn’t want her good friend to miss the chance to perform at her best because of her.

"I didn’t mean that..."

"If not, then don’t switch with me!"

"Alright!" Xu Xia knew she couldn’t sway her, "No worries, even if you’re somewhat lacking in dance, I believe, when it comes to singing, no one is better than you!"

Luo Xiaoqian nodded at her with a smile.

Half an hour quickly passed, and everyone put down their bags to prepare below the stage for the first walk-through.

Exhausted from the night before and now standing on a stage flooded with lights for the first time, Luo Xiaoqian was somewhat unaccustomed and didn’t perform well in dance.

Shen Xinyi watched her slightly off-beat movements and merely smiled scornfully.

After the dance ended, the real competition began.

Luo Xiaoqian was the first to go on stage.

Having just danced, her breathing was still somewhat unstable.

As she approached the piano, she even nearly took a tumble.

Below the stage, laughter erupted.

Luo Xiaoqian got back on her feet, sat down beside the piano, took a deep breath, and laid her hands on the keys.

Under her fingers, a melody as pure and beautiful as moonlight flowed like water.

"Moonlight, in some corner of the heart.

So bright, yet so cold.

Everyone has a sad tale to tell.

Wanting to hide it, yet the more one covers it, the more it shows..."

Since it was just a walk-through, the sound system wasn’t on, and her voice, accompanied by the piano, rang out clear and bright, like the luminous glow of the moon, inadvertently blanketing the whole earth in white.

Many staff members stopped their work to look towards the stage.

Onstage, Xu Xia listened with tears filling her eyes, while Shen Xinyi frowned deeply, subtly glancing at Lin Luoshi who was not far away. They made eye contact briefly and then quickly averted their gazes.

"Stop!"

The chilly male voice suddenly cut through from below the stage.

Luo Xiaoqian was startled, her fingers slipped, striking a discordant note.

Everyone looked puzzled toward the source of the voice, and under their gaze, a tall figure had already ascended the steps and strode onto the stage.

The man wore a light grey suit, one hand casually tucked into his trouser pocket, his stunning face radiant as jade under the spotlight.

Below the stage, the crowd of trainees gasped in unison.

"Is that Leng Zimo?"

"Oh my God, my idol has arrived!"

...

"The fourth note of the third bar, and the fifth note of the refrain, you sang them all wrong!" Leng Zimo frowned at Luo Xiaoqian beside the piano, "Don’t think that because it’s just a walk-through, you don’t have to put in effort. A true singer must sing with complete dedication at all times!"

"How do you know I wasn’t giving it my all?" Luo Xiaoqian raised her face fearlessly to meet his gaze.
