Chapter 104
The bullet curtain was in chaos.
——What’s going on?
——What the f*ck?! Isn’t Yan Zijing singing right now? Why do I hear coughing?
——My god! It’s lip sync! It’s really lip sync!
——That’s impossible! Our Swallow’s voice is very unique and it can’t be faked! I don’t believe it!
…
The bullet curtain was covered in countless comments and question marks.
The audience also started booing loudly. Some of them even stood up and were looking at the stage in disbelief.
Out of the 1,000 people, at least 300 were Yan Zijing’s fans. These 300 people were on the verge of breakdown.
The reason they had come was to seek justice for Yan Zijing. But now, the situation was like a slap in their faces!

Yan Zijing, who was on the stage, finally noticed the problem.
She opened her eyes in disbelief. Her mouth was still slightly opened, but the in-ear monitor reflected the sound of coughing, each cough being stronger than the one before. This made Yan Zijing’s countenance behind her mask change drastically.
She looked at the commotion on the scene that was caused by her mistake.
Then, she abruptly lowered her head and looked at the microphone in her hand.
She finally realized that there had been a stage mishap!
Shen Ruojing and Yang Zhiqin, who were amongst the panel of judges, were stunned too. The two of them didn’t expect that Yang Zhiqin was lip-syncing. After all, it had been five years since her debut, and all of her songs flaunted her dolphin voice falsetto.
How could she have faked this for five years?
However, neither her image nor the temperament that she showed on stage matched her beautiful and clear singing voice. This was why Shen Ruojing and Yang Zhiqin had doubted her previously.
But now… Shen Ruojing and Yang Zhiqin both exchanged glances as their eyes were filled with astonishment.
Yan Zijing, who was on stage, panicked even more.
The people below were all throwing paper and other things on stage. “Lip syncing! Lip syncing! Lip syncing!”
Everyone was shouting angrily, as if they had been lied to.
The things they threw wouldn’t hurt when they hit, but the degree of humiliation was tremendous!
Hence, Yan Zijing stood on the stage in a daze.
Even the director and those in the broadcasting room were shocked and didn’t manage to react at the first instant.
Just then, Yan Zihao suddenly dashed up the stage, grabbed Yan Zijing’s hand, and then ran with her to the backstage.
The audience’s booing sounds became even louder.
The host was also stunned at this situation and couldn’t help but look around. She was at a loss, unable to think of how to salvage the situation…
At this moment, the director came back to his senses and quickly shouted, “Stabilize the audience first! Tell them that we will find out what the situation is…”
Only then did the host go onto the stage.
All the lights on the stage were turned on, and the host said awkwardly while smiling, “There was some problem earlier. Our director has gone to understand what’s going on, and we’ll be able to give everyone an explanation very soon.”
However, the audience clearly wasn’t accepting this.
The comments on the bullet curtain became even crazier, and this matter instantly became a hot search topic.
#YanZijinglipsync#, #YanZijingstagemishap#, and other similar tags garnered even more attention, which caused the show’s views to shoot through the roof!
As time passed, everyone’s fury reached an extreme.
——Get Yan Zijing to come out and give us an explanation!
——I’ve been supporting her for five years, and I’ve liked her voice ever since she debuted. So who is the one that I like?
——Am I the only one who notices Sister White Feather? Her critiques of others are very sharp and precise. There’s indeed something to complain about Yan Zijing’s voice. To think that the point that Sister White Feather’s brought up turns out to be true! Oh god! I’ve become a fan!
——Sister White Feather is so cool! And till now, I haven’t been able to guess who she is! I can’t wait to see her face reveal.
——Like Sister White Feather +1
Comments that were questioning Shen Ruojing finally turned out for the better.
Five minutes later, the host received instructions from the director and was enthusiastically engaging the audience. Unfortunately, they were not accepting this. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Just as everyone was waiting for the results, the host seemed to have received an update. She heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Alright, let’s invite our Teacher Yan Zijing up onto the stage! She’ll give everyone an explanation!”
Yang Zhiqin couldn’t help but say, “Things have turned out this way, so what’s there to explain?”
Shen Ruojing also raised her brows, feeling puzzled.
Thereafter, they saw Yan Zijing with her leg wrapped up in bandages and wearing ordinary clothes. She was pushed up the stage in a wheelchair by a girl wearing a red dress and a gold mask.
The scene instantly fell silent.
Yan Zijing’s fans were stunned, and a momentary pause appeared on the bullet curtain as well.
The host was at a loss. “Teacher Yan, this is…”
Yan Zijing sighed and spoke in her actual voice, “I’m very sorry. Due to my leg injury, I’m unable to present a perfect stage to everyone… cough cough cough… Therefore, I found a girl to take my place on stage. The one singing backstage was me… cough cough cough… I’m sorry. I just hurt my leg and it’ll recover in a couple of days. I was planning to perform in person in the third episode… but didn’t expect to have caught a cold today and cough non-stop… This resulted in the stage mishap and actually cough cough cough cough… If it wasn’t because I suddenly couldn’t hold in my cough, I’d be able to present a perfect performance for everyone… cough cough cough… I’m sorry!”
Everyone present, including Shen Ruojing, was stunned.
However, the host was the first to react. “So that’s how it is! Teacher Yan continued to participate in our show despite being injured. This is really too astonishing. However, this incident is indeed unexpected…”
Yan Zihao, who was below the stage, was smiling.
Stage mishaps were beyond one’s control. Therefore, regardless of the show Yan Zijing attended, he’d prepare a backup plan. Right now, a doctor’s diagnosis of Yan Zijing having broken her leg half a month ago was posted on Weibo.
As expected, amongst her fans and the people who were active on the bullet curtain, most people chose to believe this.
——I knew that Swallow wouldn’t disappoint us!
——So that’s how things are. I’m crying. Thank goodness I don’t doubt Sister!
There were also comments that doubted the authenticity of this explanation, but they were instantly shot back by the water army.
——Am I the only one who thinks that this explanation is very far-fetched? And is it really a good thing to be hiding things from everyone?
——The previous commenter, Sister is doing this for the stage effect. Moreover, this is a singing program. It’s enough for Sister’s voice to be in the show. Everything else isn’t important!
…
Yan Zijing’s reputation took a turn for the better again and this matter passed by peacefully.
Even the host heaved a sigh of relief. She said while smiling, “It’s no wonder Teacher White Feather said that your song and your body actions didn’t match. So this is how it is!”
When Yan Zijing heard this, a hint of viciousness flashed past in her eyes. She then looked toward the judging panel, and her vicious gaze scanned past the location where Shen Ruojing was at. Yan Zijing said half-jokingly, “Actually, our relationship isn’t as tense as how everyone sees it… cough cough cough… White Feather and I are considered neighbors with our dressing rooms next to each other…”
The moment Yan Zijing said this, the bullet curtain and her fans were led into her flow again.
——Swallow and White Feather’s dressing rooms are next to each other… Is there a possibility that White Feather saw Swallow previously and thus knows that the person on stage isn’t Swallow in person?
——My god! I was still thinking that Sister White Feather was too amazing. I didn’t expect this is how the truth is! This must have been arranged by the production team, right?
——I’m puking. Royal Ocean Entertainment’s method of promoting their rookie really makes people speechless.
——It’s just a forced promotion! I’m still saying that same thing. What right does a rookie have to point fingers at her seniors?
The comments took a downward plunge once again, with things sounding a lot worse than they did previously.
Shen Ruojing, who was on the judging panel, squinted her eyes slightly.
When she saw Yan Zijing backstage, her leg wasn’t hurt… Hence, she suddenly understood something and stood up!
