"Hold on! Did I hear it right, was that Ye Zexi's voice just now?"
"There is no out of tune."
"Their mics are on, right?! Amazing!"
"I'll be honest, his singing is quite good."
"Isn't it just lip-sync? How..."
A comment appeared on the screen, which cleared the audience's confusion.
"I'm afraid that Ye Zexi must have offended someone. And they must have bought the hot search to ruin his reputation, I think?"
For a while, the discussion became more intense in the live chat.
"Damn, is this really possible?"
"But he only sang a couple of sentences. It's too soon to conclude. Let's listen until the end."
Many viewers also had the same attitude and continued to watch on. Even some of the fans, who were about to leave, stopped their hands from closing the livestream room.
If they were to listen to such high-level singing, it would be okay for them to keep on listening to pass the time.
A song is only a few minutes long, so naturally there are fewer sentences for each contestant. During the discussion, the camera moved over to each trainee again, until the camera stopped on Ye Zexi and Tang Jing again.
"It's here, it's here!"
"Ye Zexi and Tang Jing are singing together! My dear, Ye Zexi's voice is really nice! He sings very well!"
"One is clear and the other is low tone, they have a good voice!"
"It sounds unexpectedly good!"
The accompaniment came to the chorus part, and the camera returned to them again.
This was a chorus of ten contestants, ten different voices were perfectly integrated, and it brought another kind of auditory feast to the audience.
The chorus stopped, and the screen was brought back to Ye Zexi. Only a pink-haired teenager winked his beautiful eye at the camera, and brilliant lights flashed across his handsome face.
The lights turned off suddenly and the stage went dark.
In the darkness, a beam of light was shining on Ye Zexi in the center of the stage, only to hear Ye Zexi's witty question: "Is it a heartbeat? Cough cough--"
The lights came on, and the chorus sounded again: "Oh, the girl across the street, walking step by step, how can I not look forward to it?"
The next moment, the live chat was full of "Ahhhhh" flying across the screen.
"My ear is getting pregnant! I must be pregnant!"
"That's it? I want more!"
"Damn! Ye Zexi's voice just now is so good!!!"
"Who said earlier that he only knows how to lip-sync! Come out right now and apologize to me!"
"I'm going crazy! His singing is so good, which idiot bought the hot search saying he only knows lip-syncs?"
"Is the voting channel open? I'm going to vote for Ye Zexi!"
"It's opened! Go, go, it's next to the chat interface, I just voted!"
...
The duration of a song was not long or short, but it was enough to cause everyone's opinion of Ye Zexi to change drastically.
But the audience was not the only one being shocked. Tang Jing, who was on the same stage with Ye Zexi at this time, also got surprised.
When Ye Zexi's voice came through the speaker while standing on the stage, Tang Jing was stunned.
There was no other reason, Ye Zexi's performance today was totally different from before.
Whether it was his singing skill or vocal tone, including stage performance, Ye Zexi could be selected as the best in their group today.
Tang Jing was so surprised that he was a little distracted during the whole performance tonight.
If Ye Zexi hadn't just tapped him lightly on the arm, he would have almost forgotten that it was his turn to sing the next line!
Tang Jing's face was a little pale on the spot, and the blood on his lips faded a little.
How could he make a mistake at this time?
During his performance, Tang Jing took the time to glance down the stage, and saw He Jinyun sitting on the judges' bench. The man's pale lips had a light smile on, and his gaze——
Following the man's gaze, Tang Jing saw that the man's eyes were on Ye Zexi who was next to him.
The smile at the corner of Tang Jing's mouth suddenly became a little stiff, and the hand on his side tightened without leaving a trace.
Could it be that Ye Zexi sang so badly during rehearsal, because he was deliberately hiding his talent?
The other contestants in the audience were also having the same thinking as Tang Jing.
Jiang Ran was so angry that his face turned green, and the faces of the other team members sitting next to him were also unsightly.
Someone whispered: "He must have faked it, he always sang out of tune during rehearsal, how could it be possible in just one day—"
Jiang Ran glanced at the camera in front of him, lowered his voice and said, "Be quiet!"
The boy was taken aback for a moment, and he recovered in an instant. Now they were still being recorded, and he closed his mouth in fear.
Jiang Ran's eyes once again fell onto Ye Zexi on the stage, the other did sing well, so good that Jiang Ran was ashamed of his own singing.
Damn it! This annoyed me!
It did not help that he even mocked Ye Zexi today. Did this mean that the hot search in the middle of the night was paving the way for Ye Zexi?
He really did not know which idiot bought the hot search on Ye Zexi, he guessed the other must also not be in a good mood at the moment!
*
The song came to a climax, and as the long harmony disappeared, the accompaniment also disappeared. The first performance had a perfect ending.
Tide-like applause rang around the stage, the spotlight shone, and the camera showed the ten contestants on the stage.
Someone in the audience yelled: "Awesome!"
The comments in the livestream room were also getting excited.
"My goodness, such good singing!"
"Ye Zexi is too unexpected!"
""Time Idol" is awesome, every contestant is great! I'm already looking forward to the next performance!"
"Ye Zexi is indeed a bit better performer..."
"More, more! I'm not satisfied! I want Ye Zexi to sing solo!"
"Watch what you typed!"
...
Unfortunately, one song per team.
The livestream was still going on, but the live chat at this time no longer had the ridicule tones as before, and it was all cheering for the contestants they supported.
Soon it was the contestants' self-introduction; when it was Ye Zexi's turn, the live chat in the livestream almost covered the entire screen.
Ye Zexi's self-introduction was very brief: "Hello everyone, I'm Ye Zexi."
After speaking, Ye Zexi raised his eyes and smiled at the host.
The host smiled a little reluctantly. His name is Xi Shu, and he has just been a host for three years. Being able to become the host of "Time Idol" this time is entirely based on his colleague's referral.
Xi Shu cherished the hard-won opportunity very much and had been diligently memorizing the scripts.
Until this morning, he was called by the chief director Li Changjian to talk about the show tonight.
Xi Shu had been preparing for a day, but he was still very nervous when he thought of asking the questions next.
After taking a few deep breaths, Xi Shu cleared his throat and joked: "It is Ye Zexi's turn now. I also have a question. Is it convenient to ask you?"
Ye Zexi smiled and said, "Please go ahead."
Xi Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly threw out the question that Li Changjian told him to ask: "You must have seen the hot search last night. The official trailer was released yesterday. Many netizens questioned if you were lip-synching. What do you think? "
As soon as the question was asked, the faces of all the people present changed.
"This question! The host is obviously creating trouble for the newbies!"
"So, is it true that he was just moving his mouth?" The question that was suppressed before reappeared.
"Yes, although Ye Zexi sings well, I still want to know what the official trailer was about."
"He might not admit it, after all, all singers who encounter this situation directly deny it."
There was a lot of speculation in the live chat, and the camera naturally pointed to Ye Zexi on the stage.
Under the light, his pink hair was very conspicuous, and it made his skin look much lighter. Even the small mole at the corners of his eyes was particularly beautiful and eye-catching. He coughed slightly: "Ahem--I was scared of watching it, at the time I was really not familiar with the song, I apologize to the audience."
After all, he just transmigrated over yesterday, and it was a song that he had not heard before. It was pretty good to be able to mouth the words accordingly in his opinion.
Xi Shu was taken aback: "Huh?"
Ye Zexi explained: "I'm a slow learner. I was still trying to learn the song yesterday. So I couldn't keep up with the progress of my teammates. I didn't expect that the program group would edit the scenes at that time as an official trailer. Fortunately, I didn't drag my team down with me."
When he said this, many people in the same group as Ye Zexi looked a little confused.
So, Ye Zexi was unfamiliar with the song?
They had sung this song at around more than a hundred times a day. They now seriously suspected that Ye Zexi had deliberately pretended to have bad singing!
He had done such a good job at pretending to be clumsy!
But netizens did not know the situation of Ye Zexi's previous training, and the comments were exploding at this time.
"So it was true?"
"This brother is too frank, he just admitted it like that?"
"There is nothing wrong with admitting, right? After all, he really didn't perform well in yesterday's official trailer."
"On the contrary, I think Ye Zexi is really honest, handsome, and sings well. I feel like becoming his fan!"
"Sister, add me!"
"So he did pretend to sing, he thinks this will help to clear his name?"
"You don't have to be so serious, at least everyone's mic is on today."
"For whatever reason, I still don't like this kind of pretending."
...
Ye Zexi was very cooperative, which made Xi Shu relax a lot, and he was able to ask questions more naturally: "So that is the case. Then there is another question. Now that you have seen the hot search, what are your thoughts about netizens saying you joined "Time Idol" to chase Tang Jing?"
As soon as this question came out, the audience was in an uproar, and Tang Jing's expression also changed.
Even He Jinyun in the audience frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Li Changjian.
Isn't this question too sensitive?
"Damn! What's this situation? The host just directly asked this kind of question?"
"To be honest, although Ye Zexi sings well and there is no lip-sync, I am really curious to know what is the deal with the hot search last night?"
"Curious +1."
"So what would Ye Zexi answer?"
At this moment, Ye Zexi, standing on the stage, was more calm than everyone thought.
Ye Zexi has answered questions that are a hundred times more sensitive than this one. Why would he let this question bother him?
Everyone saw Ye Zexi curved up his lips, then he suddenly took a step forward, and bowed deeply toward Tang Jing standing next to him.
Tang Jing's face changed abruptly, and he quickly reached out to help him: "You are--"
Ye Zexi straightened up and gave Tang Jing an apologetic smile: "I should apologize to you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been troubled for so long."
As soon as Ye Zexi said this, the comment section immediately exploded, and there were exclamation marks all over the scene.
"This, this, this is a confession???"
"Is it really because of Tang Jing that he participates in "Time Idol"?"
"So yesterday's video is also true?"
"Damn, should I just directly ship this CP, or praise Ye Zexi for his courage?"
"Ye Zexi is so bold!"
"Coming out even before debut, it's exciting ah!"
Tang Jing looked at Ye Zexi in shock as well, his lips moved a bit.
He never thought that Ye Zexi would directly admit this in front of so many people in the livestream.
It was well-known that Ye Zexi was...
Tang Jing bit his lip.
Ye Zexi blinked at him and continued: "It was my rudeness that troubled Tang Jing before, but I hope that after this incident, I can become friends with you. At the same time, I also hope that everyone will not drag Tang Jing into this kind of gossip again, he is a very good person."
"Damn! Ye Zexi is a real man! Dare to accept his consequences!"
"Fuck! You still have the face to apologize to Tang Tang! You are not worthy!"
"There are not many artists who can directly admit to the scandal! Ye Zexi is really bold!"
The audience thought Ye Zexi is bold, and even Xi Shu also thought Ye Zexi is bold.
When the director asked him to ask this question, he was even ready for Ye Zexi's refusal to answer, and he was ready to come to the rescue.
But Xi Shu didn't expect that Ye Zexi would directly admit it.
Xi Shu wittly grabbed the opportunity and quickly ended the topic: "That's how it is, so you are giving up now?"
Ye Zexi wanted to smile and nod his head; however, as the corners of his mouth were raised, his eyes turned red, and his pretty face smiled reluctantly. After a while, he said dumbly: "Yeah."
"Ye Zexi's expression seems to be a bit hurt."
"When he said this, I didn't know why, my nose suddenly got stuffy."
"This expression is true love!"
"I just saw Ye Zexi want to smile, but I don't know what happened, he didn't smile..."
Ye Zexi himself was shocked. Just when he was about to smile, a great sorrow rose from his heart, abruptly suppressing the smile at the corner of his mouth.
In the next instant, Ye Zexi also reacted——
Even though the original owner is an invincible second-generation scumbag, he is serious about his feelings for Tang Jing.
Ye Zexi lowered his head and stroked his chest.
It's okay, it's okay. Although I can't let you and Tang Jing be lovers, I will try my best to be friends with Tang Jing.
The short interview was over, and the performance of the first group was over.
Ye Zexi was still very satisfied with his performance today. Although he did not try his best today, it was still quite satisfactory.
For the sake of money, he still cannot be eliminated.
God knows how much he does not want to compete with these handsome brothers for a debut.
However, Ye Zexi's self-confidence was quite satisfactory, but it made him once again get on the hot search of the day---#Ye Zexi admitted to chasing Tang Jing#.
Even a well-known question-and-answer platform topic forum also had related questions: "How do you think Ye Zexi admitted to chasing Tang Jing?"
Most popular reply: Look here, who hasn't chased someone in their lifetime?
The picture was of Ye Zexi who couldn't smile. Netizens even added these words below: Force a smile.
