Later that afternoon.
The recording continued. Next up was the elimination round.
Zhang Ye, who was in the waiting room, called Yang Shu.
"Hello, Little Yang."
"Senior Bro."
"Come and pick me up."
"OK, I'll be right there."
He had wanted to leave right after recording, but Yang Shu called him right away. After more than half an hour, Yang Shu called him back and sounded embarrassed.
"Senior Bro."
"You're here already?"
"No, I-I got stuck on the road."
"Where are you stuck?"
"Xizhimen Bridge."
"Whoa, why did you go to Xizhimen Bridge?"
"I got lost."
"But you just dropped me off this morning!"
"Didn't you show me the way this morning?"
"You used the GPS!"
"Uh, I don't know how to use it."
This junior sister of his was really unreliable!
Forget it. She would just have to wait and see what time it was.
Zhang Ye could only watch the competition calmly. It was a battle between Petal Shower, Spinach, and Marshal Persona. Two out of the three of them had to be eliminated. It was very cruel, but that was how the competition worked. In the end, there were no surprises. The winner was Petal Shower. Although Petal Shower was feeling a little unwell today, probably because she was on her period and had a stomachache earlier, she was still a strong fighter. There was no way she would lose here.
Marshal Persona did not take off his mask. He left the audience in suspense.
Spinach took off her mask. The moment she did so, the entire audience gasped in surprise!
It was a very beautiful young lady!
She was very young, probably in her twenties or even younger!
Liao Yiqi!
It was Liao Yiqi!
"Wow!"
"It's her!"
"What the heck!"
"H-How did she know how to sing?"
The judges had already guessed it, but a lot of the audience did not!
Liao Yiqi was the granddaughter of a famous Peking Opera performer. She was a professional Peking Opera performer and was very famous. Liao Yiqi had even appeared on Central TV's Spring Festival Gala before. Of course, she was there to sing a Peking Opera! No one had expected to see her on this stage. Wasn't this crossing of boundaries a little too great? A Peking Opera performer singing a pop song? And she was even singing so well?
The judges all stood up and applauded for her!
The entire audience also stood up and cheered!
"Liao Yiqi!"
"Liao Yiqi!"
"Liao Yiqi!"
Spinach's eyes reddened and she was very touched. She pressed her palms together and thanked them profusely, "Thank you, thank you, Teacher. Thank you, everyone. Thank you!"
Zhang Xia smiled and said, "There's still the revival match. We'll be waiting for you to come back!"
Liao Yiqi, or Spinach, looked at the guest seats. "I will!"
This unmasking was too surprising, too unbelievable!
Meanwhile.
Yang Shu finally came down from the Xizhimen Bridge and called to inform him that she had arrived.
In the waiting room, Zhang Ye was just about to change his clothes and slip away when he heard a knock on the door. It turned out to be Sunset Glow.
Zhang Ye was taken aback, "What's the matter?"
Sunset Glow looked at him. "Didn't we agree not to go easy?"
Zhang Ye gave a wry smile. "I didn't."
"What's the point of me becoming the Masked King if you're like this?" She also wanted to be crowned Masked King for an episode, but now, it felt like she had been given the opportunity.
Only then did Zhang Ye understand why Sunset Glow still had that unhappy look on her face even though she had clearly won. He immediately said, "You deserve to be crowned Masked King today. Did you think that I wasn't serious about singing?"
Sunset Glow nodded quietly. "This song is just so-so."
But Zhang Ye laughed. "That might not necessarily be the case."
Sunset Glow looked at him suspiciously.
Zhang Ye said, "If you don't believe me, let's wait and see." So many people feel that "Ms. Dong" is just so-so? And they think that I'm going easy on her? You guys are so funny. Do I have to do that? Forget it, it's useless to say anything now. I'll just wait for the broadcast tomorrow. On the day of the broadcast, the results of this song will be revealed. Also, Zhang Ye did not agree with the comments from the guests at the front desk. He was waiting to slap their faces. Of course, it could also be himself getting slapped? It was hard to say. After all, the world was different now. Who knew?
20 minutes later.
Zhang Ye had sneaked out of Beijing Television without anyone noticing. He found his car in the parking lot and got into the front passenger seat.
Yang Shu looked at him cautiously. "Senior Bro."
Zhang Ye said, "Drive first."
"OK." Yang Shu quickly started the engine.
Along the way, Zhang Ye criticized her for a long time and also taught her how to use the GPS before continuing to scold her.
Yang Shu listened to him in silence.
Later, Zhang Ye remembered that she had only been in Beijing for a short period of time, so how could she possibly know the way? So he did not say anything more and started humming a tune in a good mood.
Yang Shu stole a glance at him and heaved a sigh of relief.
Even though Yang Shu acted like a fool to everyone else, she was still very afraid of Zhang Ye.
At this moment, a call finally came in!
This was also a call that Zhang Ye did not want to receive right now!
It was Dong Shanshan!
Clearing his throat, Zhang Ye answered with a smile. "Hello, Shanshan, how was it? Who won in the finals today? I didn't watch the second half of the show and went home. "
The voice on the other end was silent for a moment.
Dong Shanshan said: "Keep pretending, keep pretending."
Zhang Ye pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah? Pretend for what? "
Dong Shanshan probed: "You must be The Clown, right?"
"Whoa!" Zhang Ye said in surprise: "What are you talking about? The Clown? You sure have a rich imagination! "
Dong Shanshan laughed and said: "Then who else could it be if it wasn't you?"
Zhang Ye said: "How would I know who it was? I've always wanted to know as well. Heh, how did you guess it was me? It's not like you don't know how good my singing is, right? "
Dong Shanshan rolled her eyes and said: "You can even fly a plane, so who knows how you suddenly know how to sing? I'm not surprised at all about that! "
Zhang Ye: "…"
Dong Shanshan said: "Tell me, don't try to fool me!"
Zhang Ye coughed and said: "It really wasn't me."
Dong Shanshan said coldly: "The song 'Ms. Dong' that was sung live today was to wish me a happy birthday. Who else could it be if it wasn't you? Who else would know that it's my birthday today? "
Zhang Ye pretended to be surprised. "Ah? It's your birthday today? Isn't it supposed to be next month? "
"You don't know?" Dong Shanshan blinked.
Zhang Ye said: "What would I know? Didn't you tell me when your birthday was? "
Dong Shanshan thought for a moment and felt a little unsure. "I didn't tell you."
"Then that settles it!" Zhang Ye said: "I don't know either, but does that mean that The Clown knows you? Is he a relative of yours? "
Dong Shanshan said in a speechless manner: "None of my friends or relatives can sing as well as you! You're the only one I suspect. Is it really not you? "
"It's not me." Zhang Ye lied without batting an eyelid.
When Zhang Ye said that, Dong Shanshan was also confused by his words. She said: "Alright then, I might have guessed wrongly. Let me think about who it could be."
After hanging up, Zhang Ye heaved a sigh of relief and then laughed. It was true that Dong Shanshan had never told him about her birthday, but it did not mean that Zhang Ye did not know about it. Back in university, Dong Shanshan had once chatted with a close friend of hers about her birthday being a mistake. Zhang Ye happened to overhear it from not too far away. At that time, he had a good impression of Dong Shanshan, so he naturally remembered it in his heart. It was just that after so many years, he had never celebrated Dong Shanshan's birthday, nor did he give her any presents.
Haha.
Go ahead and guess, feel free to guess.
In any case, this bro will never admit to it!
Yang Shu said: "Senior Bro, we're almost there."
Zhang Ye nodded and said: "Stop at the intersection for a while. Help me buy a pack of cigarettes. There's no more at home."
"OK, Senior Bro," Yang Shu replied.
Suddenly, the phone rang again.
Dong Shanshan said: "Are you sure it's not you?"
Zhang Ye said nervously: "Nope."
Dong Shanshan nodded calmly. "Swear to me that if it's really you, you won't be able to buy breakfast when you go out. In the future, you'll only be buying fake cigarettes and drinking fake alcohol …"
She talked for a minute.
Zhang Ye was dumbfounded!
Fuck!
You're too damn ruthless!
"Hurry up!" Dong Shanshan urged.
Zhang Ye said with tears in his eyes: "Alright, I swear."
Only then did Dong Shanshan hang up.
Yang Shu stopped the car. "Senior Bro, what cigarettes do you want?"
Zhang Ye was in tears. "Forget it, I'm not buying any. Let's go home."
