Chapter 33

Due to Lance’s request, Su Xingyao decided to relay the message directly and transferred the money to Leon, noting that it was a request from Lance for him to pass it on.

When Leon came out of the lab and saw that Su Xingyao had sent him a message, he was initially all smiles.

However, when he eagerly removed his gloves and saw the money along with Lance’s message, his expression immediately turned cold, and without saying a word, he sent Lance a code.

Three minutes later, Lance found that his WeChat was bombarded with 250 “contempt” emojis, one after another, like a bubble machine.

After settling the issue of Lance’s copyright payment, Su Xingyao returned to his team’s training.

When he walked in, the other contestants were already practicing with the lyrics that had just been printed out.

Since Lance wasn’t from their country, not everyone was focused on him. Some of them were even hearing the song for the first time and needed to quickly memorize the melody.

“This song has such a refreshing style, but singing it is exhausting.”

As soon as Su Xingyao entered, he heard the vocal-dance singer leaning against the wall, laughing and complaining.

“Wow, it’s really more tiring than singing and dancing at the same time.”

The vocal-dance singer wasn’t particularly strong, but also not bad.

However, singing a song wasn’t just about singing your part well, so he had followed the music and sung the entire song once earlier.

By the end of it, he realized his throat felt like it was about to give out.

Fortunately, he wasn’t the only one singing the whole track.

As soon as the vocal-dance singer made this comment, it was immediately agreed upon by the other contestants.

They had also sung through the entire song themselves earlier and realized it was really a challenge.

“No wonder I found comments saying no one dares to cover this song so far.”

The traditional folk singer also laughed. “Only true masters can cover it. But now, the five of us are pretty close to being semi-gods…”

They joked around, but deep down, everyone knew the song was a perfect fit for their group’s style, and each person could find the best part to showcase their talents.

Other than being a bit difficult to sing, everything else was perfect.

While they were talking, they saw Su Xingyao return, and the vocal-dance singer immediately jogged over to him.

“Cat, come sing this part for us.”

He pointed to the section of lyrics he had highlighted. “This part has several pitch shifts, and I almost passed out trying to sing it earlier.”

Su Xingyao took the lyrics and looked at the highlighted part, which indeed had a high pitch.

When the vocal-dance singer asked Su Xingyao to sing it, the other contestants also stopped practicing and immediately clapped, encouraging him.

“Cat, sing it!”

Su Xingyao was the default strongest contestant among them, and they were really curious to hear how he would sing this song.

Since they were already in the same group, he would have to sing it sooner or later. Su Xingyao didn’t hesitate and nodded in agreement.

With everyone cheering him on, the background music played once again.

With the music playing, Su Xingyao, dressed in a costume, stood in place, looking down at the lyrics in his hands and began singing.

As the lively melody played, his clear and lively voice immediately filled the practice room.

The contestants watched as they struggled with the difficult song, while Su Xingyao sang it as effortlessly as if he were drinking water.

During the climax of the song, no matter how high the notes shifted, he seamlessly transitioned between falsetto and chest voice with ease.

Over the course of three minutes, he sang the entire song standing still without even moving, hitting a series of high notes effortlessly.

Although the others had already recognized Su Xingyao’s singing skills, seeing his powerful performance firsthand still left them stunned, their scalp tingling in amazement.

If they hadn’t sung the song themselves, they might have believed that Su Xingyao made the seemingly difficult song sound simple and light, just as his performance portrayed it.

Thinking back to how exhausting it had been for him to sing earlier, the vocal-dance singer looked at Su Xingyao with admiration. “Cat, how do you sing this kind of song so calmly and effortlessly…?”

Contestant No. 77, understanding what the vocal-dance singer was referring to, immediately took the microphone and spoke to Su Xingyao.

“Cat, when we compete, could you maybe move around a little? Like, you know, how I do?”

After saying that, he raised the microphone and dramatically leaned forward, making an exaggerated effortful pose.

Then, No. 77 threw his head back, making it look like he was straining to hit high notes.

Su Xingyao looked at him, puzzled, holding the microphone, and mimicked his movements by leaning forward and then backward.

However, since he was wearing a costume, his movements were small, and at first glance, it gave off a somewhat childish, awkward vibe of imitating adults.

After following No. 77’s actions obediently, Su Xingyao asked, “Why do we have to do this?”

No. 77 winked at him. “I’m worried people will think you’re lip-syncing.”

Su Xingyao probably didn’t know this, but nowadays, if singing seems too effortless, people question whether it’s real. You have to act like you’re struggling and putting effort into your singing.

After hearing No. 77’s explanation, Su Xingyao finally understood.

He recalled how a senior once complained in an interview that when he sang live with ease, the audience doubted he was lip-syncing.

So, from then on, he would occasionally hand the microphone to the audience, say a few words, or deliberately show a face of effort while hitting high notes to prove he was truly singing.

After that, no one questioned him anymore.

Thinking of this example, Su Xingyao recalled the forward-and-backward motion that No. 77 had just demonstrated.

Could it be the same reasoning…?

After Su Xingyao finished singing, the contestants, now familiar with the melody, sat back down in a circle and began the next task.

That was to write the lyrics in Chinese.

This had been decided when the song was chosen, as it involved audience voting, and everyone agreed that singing in their native language would better convey the song’s meaning to the audience.

Of course, it was also to better connect with the audience for votes.

After reading the translation of Lance’s lyrics, they found that the original lyrics were already excellent in meaning, so they decided to keep his lyrics and simply translate them into Chinese.

However, there is still a difference between foreign languages and Chinese. After translating, not every word fits perfectly with the melody, so it requires some further refinement.

At first, everyone worked individually, making adjustments to the part of the lyrics they were responsible for singing.

However, the ancient-style singer accidentally glanced at Su Xingyao’s notes and found that the translation and refinements Su Xingyao had made not only fit the song perfectly but were also incredibly beautiful.

After that, everyone gathered around Su Xingyao and asked him to help them revise their lyrics.

Su Xingyao spent another half hour revising the entire set of lyrics for everyone.

Once the lyrics for the various singers were sorted out, the rapper, who had been deep in thought in the corner trying to come up with his rap lines for the intro, had his lyrics written too.

He excitedly shared it with the group, but after the rap was added to the intro, everyone felt that it didn’t quite fit.

“It just doesn’t flow smoothly… Actually, I think your voice is quite smooth, so maybe you could try doing the rap in a foreign language instead?”

The vocal-dance singer offered the rapper a new idea.

The rapper was open to the suggestion but hesitated, rubbing his face. “I never scored above 30 in foreign languages… I can manage ‘come’ and ‘go’, but anything beyond that…”

He shrugged.

However, right after he said that, his gaze landed on Su Xingyao, who had just helped everyone with their lyrics.

“Uh… Cat, can you write rap in a foreign language?”

Suddenly being called on, Su Xingyao looked up. “I can’t rap, but if you need help writing lyrics, I can give it a try…”

The rapper, who had been considering this idea, immediately handed him a pen.

Su Xingyao then took the notebook and quickly wrote a foreign-language rap for the rapper on the spot.

Su Xingyao wrote quickly, but the quality was extremely high.

Once everyone confirmed there were no issues, he carefully explained the meaning of each line to the rapper.

After patiently helping the rapper get the pronunciation right, Su Xingyao gave a few suggestions for his performance.

“You could try singing it with a more laid-back tone.”

Su Xingyao, recalling the rapper’s voice, placed the pen between two words. “You could also try adding a light chuckle here, it should sound great.”

The rapper, humbly taking down the advice, silently read the lyrics several times, then decided to try singing it along with the music.

The three segments of low, lazy delivery, mixed with a few casual chuckles, were perfect.

After hearing the result, the team cheered in unison, saying it was a great fit.

The rapper himself was also a little shocked.

The lyrics Su Xingyao had helped him write were not only well-suited to his voice but also in terms of tone and style.

Moreover, after following the suggestion to add a couple of casual, nonchalant chuckles, the entire performance became incredibly smooth and cool.

His voice immediately grabbed everyone’s attention.

The vocal-dance singer, hearing it, couldn’t help but rub his ears. “Bro, those two chuckles—seriously, you could go be an idol… It’s just too smooth.”

The rapper laughed and quickly turned to Su Xingyao, “It’s all thanks to you, Cat… So, you really can’t rap?”

Su Xingyao waved his hand. “I really can’t.”

The rapper shook his head regretfully. “But you’re really so professional.”

There’s always a gap between people, and the rapper was well aware of this fact. He didn’t shy away from admitting that his lyric-writing talent was not as good as Su Xingyao’s.

In fact, he was quite grateful that Su Xingyao helped him revise his lyrics.

He had always sung more intense, high-pitched songs, and had never attempted to perform a song in this manner. He was surprised at how unexpectedly good the result was.

Hearing the rapper’s praise, No. 77 nodded in agreement. “Our Cat is the most versatile!”

The ancient-style singer quickly took his lyrics and approached Su Xingyao. “Cat, I’m the worst singer. How about you help me out too?”

Everyone wasn’t foolish. After hearing Su Xingyao sing and watching him help revise lyrics on the spot, they all knew who the real backbone of the group was.

There was no need to say much more, everyone had already accepted that Su Xingyao would be the core. Whenever they encountered any problems in their practice, they simply went to him.

Before they knew it, Su Xingyao had become the mentor of the group.

When the ancient-style singer struggled with his singing, Su Xingyao patiently taught him, one line at a time.

When the vocal-dance singer couldn’t get the falsetto right, Su Xingyao worked with him, repeating the steps over and over, correcting each mistake.

Even the rapper’s foreign language pronunciation was corrected, word by word.

Su Xingyao was very patient, with a good temper. To help everyone practice better, he even started playing the piano during group practice sessions, focusing on the details of each word and note.

Su Xingyao was so busy helping everyone practice the song that he didn’t even have time to look at the sheet music…

However, the contestants, who had already seen and accepted Su Xingyao’s musical genius, were no longer surprised when they noticed he could play the song without even glancing at the sheet music.

After all, their Cat was the strongest!

The rehearsal time given by the production team was tight, and they practiced together until almost ten o’clock in the evening on the first day.

Before they headed home, the staff suddenly came to find their group, telling them that each group’s contestants were to prepare a talent show for filming the next day.

The talent show would later be aired as a special segment after the program was broadcast.

As the staff made the announcement, they repeatedly emphasized that they hoped everyone would come up with something creative and unexpected for the performance.

Once the announcement was made, the staff left.

Although they had originally planned to call it a day, Su Xingyao and the others gathered again for a quick meeting after receiving the notice.

“It has to be creative and unexpected…”

The ancient-style singer stroked his chin and looked at Su Xingyao, suddenly having a flash of inspiration.

“Everyone… I have a bold idea, but I’m not sure if it will work…”

With everyone’s curious gaze on him, he gestured for them to look at Su Xingyao’s costume.

Su Xingyao, feeling their gaze, raised a paw and pointed at himself.

“Why are you looking at me…”

The ancient-style singer grinned. “Cat, I saw that video of yours before… Since you’re so familiar with Frog Mom, how about… we all wear Frog Mom costumes to work tomorrow?”

This suggestion from the ancient-style singer was met with unanimous approval from everyone except Su Xingyao.

In the end, under everyone’s gaze, Su Xingyao reluctantly raised his paw.

After this cheerful discussion, they decided that for tomorrow’s talent show, everyone would wear Frog Mom costumes. The task of purchasing the costumes was left to Su Xingyao, the only one who knew where to buy them.

However, since it was already very late by the time they finished work, Su Xingyao could only go buy them the next morning.

The following day, around nine o’clock, Su Xingyao figured the store selling the Frog Mom costumes should be open by now, so he put on a mask and a hat, preparing to head out.

“Mr. Su,” a voice called out just as he was about to leave.

Su Xingyao turned around and saw Lu Jiuxu standing there.

“Aren’t you recording the show today?” Lu Jiuxu asked, his gaze falling on Su Xingyao, who was dressed in casual clothes.

Su Xingyao explained, “I need to go buy a few mascot costumes for my teammates first.”

Lu Jiuxu casually responded, “I happen to need to buy a toy for Coral. Let’s go together.”

With Lu Jiuxu’s suggestion, Su Xingyao went out with him.

He didn’t have a driver’s license and couldn’t drive. So, once again, he hitched a ride with Lu Jiuxu and sat in the passenger seat, finding it much more convenient than taking a taxi.

They left early, and when they arrived at the mall, it had only just opened.

But today, Su Xingyao noticed something different. The mall was unusually lively, with pink balloons and roses decorating the space.

As soon as they entered, a staff member handed them each a rose.

When Su Xingyao found a rose pressed into his hand, he suddenly realized it was 520 (a popular day for expressing love in China).

He turned to Lu Jiuxu, who had also been handed a rose, and then looked around at the couples walking hand-in-hand, shopping together.

It… felt a bit strange that the two of them were here together today.

“Where are the mascot costumes?” Su Xingyao asked.

Lu Jiuxu seemed to pay no attention to the atmosphere, casually holding the rose given to him as he entered the elevator.

Su Xingyao, who had been lost in thought, was snapped back to reality by Lu Jiuxu’s voice. He quickly pressed the button for the fourth floor.

The elevator arrived on the fourth floor soon, and Su Xingyao went straight to the store where he was planning to buy the Frog Mom mascot costume.

The shop assistant greeted him enthusiastically and handed him five tickets, specially reminding him, “With these, you can enter the lottery downstairs five times.”

Su Xingyao was pleasantly surprised to find out there was a lottery. He felt quite happy.

After discussing with Lu Jiuxu, they split up.

Lu Jiuxu went with a young man from the store to put the mascot costumes in the car, while Su Xingyao headed to the service desk in the center of the first floor.

Today, Su Xingyao was determined to enter the lottery. He didn’t care what the prize was, but he had to use the lottery tickets.

After all, if he had the tickets in hand and didn’t use them, Su Xingyao knew he would spend the night thinking about it and wouldn’t be able to sleep.

So, he took his receipt to the service desk and exchanged it for lottery tickets.

While he was exchanging them, the staff member in charge of the lottery was enthusiastically telling the people passing by that the biggest prize today was a bouquet of 999 roses, and the second prize was a giant plush toy…

After getting his tickets, Su Xingyao handed them to the staff. “Excuse me, do I draw the lottery here?”

“Yes, yes, right here,” the staff member replied, collecting his tickets and pointing to the lottery box nearby. “Sir, over here.”

Su Xingyao quickly walked to the lottery box, closed his eyes, rubbed his hands together, and said a quick, earnest prayer.

His luck with lotteries was usually not very good, so he hoped this time wouldn’t be too ridiculous.

After the prayer, Su Xingyao reached in and quickly drew the first ticket.

The card was in his hand. Su Xingyao took a deep breath, then hesitated for a few seconds before opening it.

The message on it was simple—A pack of tissues.

Su Xingyao looked up and compared it to the prize list.

Well, of course, it was the last prize…

As expected, it was him!

The staff member saw that he had drawn the last prize and immediately tried to cheer him up. “It’s okay, you still have four chances left.”

Su Xingyao comforted himself and decided to try again.

The second draw was exactly the same—A pack of tissues…

—

After silently placing the two packs of tissues on the table in front of him, Su Xingyao took a deep breath and started to reflect on whether his lottery-drawing technique was wrong.

For the third draw, he didn’t rush. He spent quite a bit of time feeling around in the box.

He picked one ticket and was about to take it out, but then he felt it wasn’t quite right, so he quickly swapped it for another.

After a few back-and-forth attempts, and much deliberation, he finally chose one.

With hope in his heart, Su Xingyao opened the card for the third time.

He looked down and once again saw the same four big words—A pack of tissues.

—

Su Xingyao fell silent.

Three consecutive last prizes.

Today was definitely not a good day for drawing lottery tickets.

“What did you get?”

Just as Su Xingyao was hesitating about whether to go wash his hands to shake off the bad luck, Lu Jiuxu, who had placed the plush toys in the car, walked up behind him.

Seeing him like a savior, Su Xingyao immediately put his hopes on Lu Jiuxu.

“Mr. Lu, there are two chances left, why don’t you try drawing?”

He said this while picking up a pack of tissues and waving it at Lu Jiuxu, pouting a little. “My luck is so bad.”

With his mask on, Su Xingyao’s eyes appeared especially lively.

Lu Jiuxu lowered his gaze to look at Su Xingyao’s slightly furrowed brows and thought the expression looked incredibly cute.

He didn’t say anything, just followed Su Xingyao’s suggestion and reached for two cards.

Su Xingyao, who had been watching Lu Jiuxu closely, saw that the other man took two cards in one go and couldn’t help but think, This is so rough!

Unlike himself, who had agonized over each choice.

And of course, it was another last prize!

Seeing that Su Xingyao was still staring at his hands, Lu Jiuxu handed the card back to him.

“Go ahead and open it.”

There’s always a bit of impatience when it comes to lotteries, the urge to know the result.

Su Xingyao wasn’t any different.

Although he felt a little conflicted, wondering if it would still bring bad luck through his hands, he figured that since it was Lu Jiuxu drawing, it should be different. So he immediately took the card from him, bent down, and seriously tore open the first one.

He tore off a corner and saw a small word.

Feeling energized, he quickly pulled at it.

One small toy!

Looking at the three words written on the card, Su Xingyao’s eyes instantly lit up.

Although it was just a third prize, after three consecutive packs of tissues, he was already more than satisfied with this sudden small toy.

“Mr. Lu, it’s a small toy!”

Su Xingyao happily raised the card in his hand and handed it to the staff.

With the boost from this small toy, Su Xingyao was much quicker and more confident in his next move.

After tearing open the second card, he discovered it was another small toy.

The staff member saw the prize and immediately smiled, congratulating them. “Congratulations! Two third prizes!”

After that, the staff member, not able to resist, turned to compliment Lu Jiuxu, “Your friend’s luck is really good…”

Realizing that he had almost instinctively said something a bit off, the staff quickly corrected himself, “I mean, your friend has good luck.”

Su Xingyao, still excited, didn’t notice anything strange in the comment. Instead, he looked curiously at the prize.

The staff quickly turned around to fetch the two plush toys.

They were two identical little bears, the kind that could be attached to a keychain.

Lu Jiuxu took the little bears, placing them side by side in the palm of his hand to show Su Xingyao.

The cute little bears were small and smiling, facing the two of them.

Lu Jiuxu picked up one of the bears and put the other one into the bag where Su Xingyao had placed his tissues.

“Let’s each take one.”

After redeeming their prizes, Su Xingyao and Lu Jiuxu went to the second floor to buy a toy for Coral.

On the way out, they passed by an arcade, where a young lady stopped them.

“Hey, guys! Do you want to come in and play? We have a lot of free activities today.”

Following her gaze, Su Xingyao looked inside and saw many people playing, with bursts of laughter echoing from time to time.

He felt a little tempted.

Actually, he had never really gone to an arcade before.

He didn’t have the money when he was younger, and later, he just didn’t have the time.

As he hesitated for a moment, Lu Jiuxu, with a light grip on his wrist through his thin jacket, helped him make up his mind.

“Let’s go, let’s take a look.”

Following Lu Jiuxu, Su Xingyao was led to the area with the most people.

When Lu Jiuxu released his hand, an announcement came over the speakers.

“Attention, everyone! The third round of the claw machine competition is about to begin. Please get ready!”

Hearing the announcement, Su Xingyao realized that Lu Jiuxu had brought him to the claw machines.

There was a staff member standing behind them, enthusiastically talking to a couple.

“In one minute, catch as many prizes as you can, and we’ll give you the same number. The person who catches the most can also win a free surprise gift!”

After hearing this, Su Xingyao looked up at Lu Jiuxu, silently asking if they should join in.

People always get a bit obsessed with things that seem challenging but are difficult to do.

For example, with the claw machine, although Su Xingyao had little experience and wasn’t very skilled, every time he saw one, he couldn’t help but feel the urge to try.

Especially since there was an event today…

Su Xingyao was already feeling eager to give it a go.

Lu Jiuxu noticed the hopeful look in his eyes. After making eye contact, he nodded, turned around, and asked the staff for two baskets, each containing ten tokens.

Su Xingyao took one, found a spot at the far corner, and stood there. Lu Jiuxu also came over, and they each stood at different machines.

Soon, thanks to the staff’s announcements, all four rows of claw machines were filled with people.

However, among all the participants, every single one of them was a couple, and they were all using one machine together, some even hugging each other.

Amidst all the couples at the claw machines, Su Xingyao realized that he and Lu Jiuxu, two lonely individuals, stood out awkwardly and obviously.

But Su Xingyao didn’t mind. He held two tokens in his hand and focused his gaze on the toys inside, observing them carefully.

Once everyone was ready, the staff announced the instructions.

Su Xingyao wasted no time and quickly inserted two tokens, then began controlling the machine to try to grab a toy.

He kept his eyes on the claw, his mind racing with all the tips and tricks he had read from others’ guides.

After finding a tricky angle, he followed the method described in the guide and pressed the button.

And then…

It was empty. The claw didn’t even touch the toy’s fur.

Su Xingyao didn’t get discouraged. He immediately started the second round.

Su Xingyao was good at many things, but grabbing toys was not one of them. He had no natural talent for it.

As expected, his second attempt also ended in failure.

His movements were too fast and forceful, and he spent too much time adjusting the position, so after only two tries, the staff had already announced that 40 seconds had passed.

Hearing the announcement, Su Xingyao instinctively turned his head toward Lu Jiuxu.

To his surprise, Lu Jiuxu had already grabbed four toys…

And inside the machine, the claw was still holding one in mid-air.

The next second, the claw dropped straight down.

Su Xingyao froze for a moment, turning his head to ask in surprise, “You’ve already grabbed five?”

As soon as he spoke, the girl from the nearby couple shouted urgently to her boyfriend, “Honey, come help me—I haven’t grabbed any!”

Her shout distracted Su Xingyao, and realizing that his time was also running out, he quickly inserted another token, ready to try again.

“Need some help?”

As the tokens made a clinking sound and the machine started up, Lu Jiuxu came over to Su Xingyao’s side.

The machine had already been activated after the token was inserted, and the countdown started appearing on the screen.

Su Xingyao nervously watched the remaining 15 seconds and quickly nodded at Lu Jiuxu.

“Yes, yes. Where should I place it?”

“Move it a bit further back.”

Su Xingyao followed Lu Jiuxu’s instructions to adjust the position, but he didn’t apply enough force, and the position was still a little off.

“A bit to the left.”

At that moment, a couple behind them seemed to have grabbed a toy, and Su Xingyao heard a sudden scream, drowning out Lu Jiuxu’s voice.

He turned to look at him, asking, “Which side?”

As the final seconds ticked down, everyone around grew tense, shouting excitedly.

The air suddenly filled with waves of shrill screams, and the staff began the countdown.

The loud noise drowned out Su Xingyao’s voice completely.

“Ten seconds, nine… eight…”

The hurried countdown rang out, and Su Xingyao couldn’t hear clearly, only looking toward Lu Jiuxu for help.

“Six… five…”

As the staff reached five, Su Xingyao felt a warm hand cover his right hand, which was controlling the direction.

Lu Jiuxu stood just a few centimeters behind him, his right hand overlapping with Su Xingyao’s, calmly helping him adjust the angle.

A faint woody fragrance filled the air, and as Su Xingyao was momentarily distracted, he finally heard Lu Jiuxu’s deep voice again.

“You can press it now.”

The warm breath lightly brushed against his ear, and Su Xingyao’s ear felt as if it had been lightly tickled by a feather, warming up in an instant.

His heart seemed to stop for a second.

He hadn’t even noticed what had happened inside the claw machine just then…

Only at the last second did he belatedly press the button.

Immediately, a Stellalou (Starry Delulu) plush toy was securely grabbed.

Su Xingyao hurriedly crouched down to pick it up, glancing at his right hand, where the familiar warmth still lingered on the back of his hand.

The staff quickly began to clear the data.

Together, Su Xingyao and Lu Jiuxu had caught a total of six toys, and the staff generously gave all of them to them.

In addition, Lu Jiuxu was the first to finish and caught the most toys, earning the top prize for the day.

The theme of the event that day was 520, and the first prize was related to it.

The staff offered them a free selection of a couple phone cases.

When the staff asked for the phone model, Su Xingyao suddenly realized that his phone was the same model as Lu Jiuxu’s.

He couldn’t help but glance at the phone cases and noticed a set of couple-themed phone cases with a cat and dog design.

One case had a black dog, and the other had a white cat, both staring at each other.

It seemed like this set matched their preferences, as Lu Jiuxu also chose it.

When they got into the car, he immediately put the phone case on his phone and handed the white cat one to Su Xingyao.

Su Xingyao looked at the case in his hand, confused. “Mr. Lu, is this for me?”

Isn’t this a couple’s phone case…?

Lu Jiuxu leaned one arm against the window, his voice carrying a smile as he replied seriously, “Mm, isn’t this the one we got as a team?”

“Of course, you’re included.”

—

After returning from the mall, Su Xingyao brought the five frog mommy costumes he had brought to the program’s recording site.

In the afternoon, the five of them had finished practicing the harmonies, and in the evening, they were called by the production team to record behind-the-scenes footage.

Before the recording, the director smiled and kindly asked.

“What talent will your group be showcasing?”

Number 77 raised his hand obediently, then quickly pulled out one of the costumes from his pocket and waved it at the director.

“Little Jumping Frogs.”

The director stared at the five frogs that suddenly appeared:…

Well, you really know how to add a bit of fun to this.

After everyone put on the costumes, Su Xingyao’s group began recording their talent show.

At this moment, it was exactly eight o’clock in the evening.

The third episode of The Voice of Heaven arrived right on schedule, as expected.

However, this time, things were quite different from before.

Within an hour of the video being released, Shen Huaixi, who had never received any negative reviews since debuting, was the first to experience a ^[1]“Flop” refers to something that fails to meet expectations or achieve success of entertainment, like a performance, project, or video that is poorly received by the audience or does not … Continue reading“flop.”
