The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

"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.2

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..."
