Chapter 240: Senior Student Ziyi, Can You Do It or Not?
The result was consistent with the direction controlled by Lu Ziyi. When the voting deadline ended, the voting rate for Lin Chusheng to sing “Qi Tian” was 12% higher than for “Under the Paris Sky”.
Lin Chusheng confirmed that he would sing “Qi Tian” in the finals of the Campus Top Ten Singers.
The single male students celebrated their victory, while the single female students, undeterred, shouted threats at the males: “No matter what School Hunk Lin sings, he’s our husband! If he becomes Qi Tian Da Sheng, we’ll stay single with him until the end of time and never fall for any of you single dogs!”
This melee did not end with the song choice being settled; instead, it intensified, with Lin Chusheng still having a large group of loyal fans fiercely supporting him.
Two days before the competition, the Student Union and the Arts Department of the General Student Association organized rehearsals for the thirty shortlisted contestants.
Bai Qianqian, Xu Luoxi, and An Xiazhi really wanted to see the grand occasion beforehand. They asked Ye Chuxiao to use her relationship with Lin Chusheng or Lu Ziyi to get them into the auditorium early.
As the individuals who ignited the rivalry between the two school hunks on the stage of the Campus Top Ten Singers competition, Ye Chuxiao had already received two invitations. When she went to watch the rehearsal and mentioned it to the student union cadres, they allowed her to bring a few roommates into the auditorium.
The stage setup was already taking shape. The sponsors, seeing the popularity stirred up by the two school hunks, recognized a business opportunity and invested generously. This year’s stage was exceptionally magnificent.
To maintain an air of mystery, very few students were allowed to watch, apart from the staff organizing rehearsals and setting up the stage. Ye Chuxiao, Bai Qianqian, Xu Luoxi, and An Xiazhi sat in the front row. Although they were very excited, they had to restrain themselves and not show it, or they would be asked to leave.
The thirty contestants would perform in the order drawn by lot. Lin Chusheng drew number 23, and Lu Ziyi drew number 27. The sponsors finally breathed a sigh of relief, as having the two popular contestants perform later in the lineup ensured the effectiveness of the competition’s advertising revenue.
The Student Union and the General Student Association also felt that this was a win-win situation; with the two school hunks performing last, there was no worry that the competition would be dull.
For this rehearsal, three teachers from the Judging Panel were invited for preliminary guidance. Ye Chuxiao and the other three girls patiently watched each contestant’s performance and listened to the judges’ opinions.
Ye Chuxiao mentally assessed the approximate level of her Brother Chusheng and Senior Student Ziyi among the thirty contestants.
Ye Chuxiao was not worried about Lin Chusheng. He had participated in countless artistic competitions of all sizes since he was young. If he were to debut as a singer, his abilities would be more than sufficient.
As for Lu Ziyi, Ye Chuxiao had never heard him sing before. However, Senior Student Ziyi often surprised her. At Senior Student Jin Xian’s birthday banquet, he claimed he couldn’t play the violin, yet he performed so well.
He also knows martial arts and lion dance. Ye Chuxiao couldn’t imagine how much potential Senior Student Ziyi had.
However, can Senior Student Ziyi really sing? Ye Chuxiao dared not imagine Senior Student Ziyi reaching the same singing level as Brother Chusheng, but she hoped it wouldn’t be too far off.
Ye Chuxiao lowered her head and made a sheepish grimace. Was it too unkind to think that of Senior Student Ziyi?
“Xiaoxiao, it’s your Brother Chusheng’s turn!” Bai Qianqian next to her nudged Ye Chuxiao’s arm. The distracted Ye Chuxiao looked up and met Lin Chusheng’s gaze on stage, which was accurate and locked onto her the moment he stepped on stage.
