Chapter 93 Seducing Without Even Trying
Chapter 93 Seducing Without Even Trying
In Lin'an City, in the 300-square-meter flat owned by the Su sisters.
The 100-inch laser TV in the living room is tuned to the channel for "The Voice of China," and it's currently playing GG.
The coffee table was piled high with snacks—potato chips, nuts, cherries, sliced melon, and three steaming hot drinks.
Su Xiaoxiao had an iced Americano, Su Yiyi had an osmanthus latte, and Zhou Yuji... Zhou Yuji was still in the Western Regions, but her "seat" was occupied by a tablet computer, with her bright face on the screen.
"Hey you two," Zhou Yuji's voice came from the tablet, with a hint of background noise, "could you please fix the camera? It's making me dizzy."
Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and adjusted the angle of her phone, which was perched on the bag of potato chips: "Zhou Yuji, can you please stop being so demanding? It's already good enough that we can find a signal to watch a live stream in the Gobi Desert of the Western Regions, and you're still being picky."
"I'm taking responsibility for the viewing experience!" Zhou Yuji said matter-of-factly. "What if the screen flickers during Xiao Wang's performance and he misses a great moment?"
Su Yiyi smiled gently and pushed a cup of hot milk tea in front of the tablet—even though Zhou Yuji couldn't drink it, the ritual had to be done: "Yuji, are you cold over there? The noise is a bit loud."
"It's minus five degrees Celsius, but I'm wrapped in a down jacket, so I'm not cold." Zhou Yuji turned the camera around to show the inside of her tent—a heater, a blanket, and a bowl of steaming instant noodles. "The internet is a bit unstable, though; I almost lost connection just now. But I'll stick with it to see Xiao Wang!"
Su Xiaoxiao snorted and grabbed a handful of potato chips: "You talk as if you're the only one who cares about him."
"Of course," Zhou Yuji raised an eyebrow, "I was his former boss, I have feelings for him!"
"So what if he was his ex-boss? I'm his current boss now!"
"Does his current boss make him walk more than ten miles home by himself?"
"you!"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Su Yiyi quickly smoothed things over: "Alright, alright, the show is about to begin."
On the TV screen, GG ended, and the opening animation for the second episode of "The Voice of China" began to play.
The three people's attention was immediately drawn to it.
Zhou Yuji also quieted down, staring at the tablet screen. She projected her phone screen onto the portable projector in the tent. Although the picture quality was average, the atmosphere was perfect.
After the opening credits, there is a brief recap of the previous events and backstage interviews with the contestants.
Qin Xiao's performance was as exquisite as a fashion editorial. In an interview, he casually said, "I didn't lose unjustly last time; Wang Bo's 'Blue Lotus' was truly moving. But this time, I will redefine the stage in my own way."
The screen was instantly flooded with comments.
"Brother Xiao is so generous!"
"To acknowledge the superiority of one's opponent—that's the mark of a true champion!"
What should I do if I love Qin Xiao even more now?!
"So what exactly are they preparing for this episode? I'm so curious!"
When it was Wang Bo's turn, the camera remained simple, showing him sitting in a chair in the dressing room with a noisy background behind him.
"Is this episode's theme 'Journey'?" a voice-over asks.
Wang Bo thought for a moment and nodded: "I guess so."
What song have you prepared?
"A song... about travel." Wang Bo smiled. "Not travel in the physical sense, but travel in the heart."
Bullet comments.
"Another original work, right?"
Wang Bo: Me, original content, pay me.
"A journey in my heart...it's so abstract, but I'm so looking forward to it!"
"Educators, gather! Get your tissues ready!"
Zhou Yuji clicked her tongue twice on the other end of the tablet: "Little Wang is getting more and more profound with his words these days. His inner journey... tsk, so alluring without even trying."
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her: "Can't you concentrate on watching the show?"
"I'm very focused," Zhou Yuji said confidently. "I'm using a professional eye to analyze the growth of my artist."
Su Yiyi didn't speak, but gently stirred the cinnamon stick in her latte, her eyes fixed on Wang Bo's calm profile on the screen.
What does "a journey in one's heart" mean?
After the contestants' introductions, the competition officially began.
The first matchup was between Lin Xiaoya and Zhao Chen – an internal power struggle within Starlight Media.
Both sang songs prepared by the company, which were decent but not outstanding. In the end, Lin Xiaoya won by a narrow margin, while Zhao Chen entered the waiting area, looking dejected.
The second pair is Su Na versus Bai Wei.
Suna's energetic singing and dancing won a standing ovation, but Bai Wei's original rock song roared out with amazing power, ultimately winning in a surprise victory.
Suna entered the waiting area, but she was quite calm: "Losing to an original is not shameful."
Next, the main event begins.
"Next—" the host drawled, "the third group PK, Li Xuan versus Wang Bo!"
There was thunderous applause.
In front of the TV, Zhou Yuji sat up straight: "Here it comes, Little Wang is about to take the stage!"
Su Xiaoxiao also put down her potato chips and her expression became serious.
Su Yiyi gripped the cup in her hand tightly.
Li Xuan was the first to appear.
Today he wore a shiny silver performance outfit, and his hair was styled into a hedgehog shape with hairspray, making him look like a human-shaped LED light.
"Hello everyone, I'm Li Xuan!" he shouted into the microphone, "Today I'm bringing you an original song—'The Victory is Over'!"
The moment the song title was announced, the audience erupted in uproar.
"So arrogant?" Zhou Yuji raised an eyebrow. "That kid Li Xuan is still so impetuous."
Su Xiaoxiao sneered: "It's probably specially prepared for Wang Bo; even the song title is provocative."
On television, Li Xuan's performance began.
The intro is a typical pop-rock arrangement with dense drum beats and a heavy, distorted guitar tone.
Li Xuan spoke, his voice deliberately low and deep, carrying an air of arrogance that said, "I'm awesome."
The lyrics are so straightforward they sound like a declaration of war, but the melody is quite catchy. The chorus features a cleverly designed high-pitched transition that showcases Li Xuan's excellent vocal control.
He also added a dance segment in the middle—although he wasn't a professional dancer, his movements were powerful and well-executed, and combined with the lighting effects, the visual impact was very strong.
The song is four and a half minutes long. Li Xuan sang and danced, and was covered in sweat and panting when he finished.
He stood in the center of the stage, arms outstretched towards the audience, his eyes brimming with confidence.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
The live chat started flooded with comments.
"Li Xuan did a great job this time!"
"The original compositions are great, and the stage presence is strong!"
"Finally, we've seen Li Xuan break through!"
"Does this guy look like he's going to win the championship?"
"Wang Bo is in danger..."
Zhou Yuji pouted: "Fancy and all show and no substance."
Su Xiaoxiao's objective evaluation: "The song is okay, and the stage effects are also good, but I always feel... something is missing."
Su Yiyi said softly, "It lacks sincerity."
On television, the host announced, "Next up, Wang Bo will also be performing an original song!"
Wang Bo walked onto the stage.
The lights dimmed, leaving only a spotlight shining on him.
He was dressed in a simple white shirt and jeans, carrying an acoustic guitar, standing in front of the microphone like a traveler about to begin telling a story.
