CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol

Chapter 237 - 230: The Flying Fish’s Counterattack

Li Ke, sitting in the audience, found it strange—why wasn’t Lv Fangxin given the first center camera shot?

Lv Fangxin was the leader of this group after all!

The reason was that the primary lyricist of this song was Meimei, and the primary composer was Liu Feiyu.

Thus, Meimei received the first center camera shot, though Liu Feiyu was the first to open the performance with her voice.

The electric guitar served as the main instrument for the accompaniment, and playful notes began leaping onto the stage in clusters.

Liu Feiyu’s singing was average, but the melody of the song itself was pleasant.

Wearing a long t-shirt paired with retro British striped casual pants, Liu Feiyu sang while cheerfully stepping toward the center of the stage.

Next came Lu Xiaoman’s part, and today, her look was especially stunning.

Her "heiress style" makeup paired with her slightly curled jet-black hair exuded a blend of innocence and allure.

Standing beside her was Chen Yinghan, providing accompanying vocals. While her face radiated a warm smile, her eyes revealed a touch of indifference.

Tonight, Chen Yinghan styled her hair into two "Nezha buns," dyed in a light orange-red tone that made her complexion look exceptionally fair.

She held her beloved mini single-board rosewood guitar, gently strumming it.

The scene was beautiful and youthful, evoking a nostalgic sensation that made the audience sing along in rhythm.

It was now Chen Yinghan’s turn to sing. Clad in a purple tracksuit, she gripped the mic and began her solo like a girl stepping out of an oil painting.

Currently, Chen Yinghan held an exceptional impression in the fans’ hearts as a gentle, kind, and deeply talented young "President Chen."

As soon as she sang, the cheers from the crowd erupted loudly, rivaling those of any top contestants.

Seeing this made the other contestants envious—so this is the popularity of a "rich, pretty, and classy" girl.

A slightly childish, tender voice rang out on the stage—it was Lv Fangxin’s turn to sing, sporting a gourd-shaped hairdo on her head.

Because Liu Feiyu was positioned further back, Lv Fangxin easily stood out among the performers. Her long legs drew eyes; straight and fair, they resembled something straight out of a comic book.

Beside her was Lu Peiqin, who stood a head and a half shorter. Lightly patting Fangxin’s shoulder, Peiqin subtly kept rhythm for her, signaling her where to hit the right notes.

Even though Lv Fangxin had practiced non-stop for over ten hours, these brief six lines of lyrics seemed impossible for her to nail in tune; she was naturally tone-deaf.

However, Fangxin’s fans were overjoyed, enthusiastically cheering her on. Some silently watched, and those were Meng Meixuan’s fans.

Ever since the previous performance, the two fan bases had been locked in a bitter rivalry like fire and water.

Meng Meixuan’s fans were furious about Lv Fangxin’s high-ranking position and wished they could tear her down completely.

Fans of other contestants also showed little sympathy for Fangxin, believing she wasn’t worthy of her rank and should apologize and quit the competition immediately.

Unfortunately, these detractors were few in number, and Fangxin’s fanbase was notably resilient.

This resilience wasn’t based on the "dirty tricks" often used in fan wars but on logical and compelling arguments supporting their admiration for her.

A wave of eloquent, captivating essays spread across various platforms, making even those disconnected from the entertainment world recognize Lv Fangxin’s name.

The girls transitioned into a group performance.

Similar to the previous team’s performance, theirs lacked traditional girl group choreography, focusing instead on vocals.

This was a matter of practical compromise—there simply wasn’t enough time to prepare both intricate dance moves and an engaging musical act.

The chord progression of the group’s chorus was in Am within the C major scale.

This choice of chords suited mainstream auditory appeal. Here, they utilized the root note (1) alongside a downward stepwise motion in the musical arrangement.

It wasn’t done merely to cater to mainstream tastes but to differentiate the song from others.

The chorus was lively in arrangement, and coupled with the girls’ youthful and glamorous appearances, it garnered applause from the audience.

The girls sang and danced exuberantly, adding dynamic hand gestures that infused the performance with energy.

The group executed their first real formation change, shifting from a triangular alignment to a long snake-line formation.

Bending forward while shaking their hips and alternating their legs in bow-like movements, they adopted a formation popular with certain semi-island girl groups—a particularly striking spectacle when performed by leggy ladies.

After some spins and rises, Chen Yinghan launched into her second solo segment.

Her lyrics carried an intriguing edge: "Maturity isn’t turning into some peculiar adult figure."

This evoked imagery seen in island-inspired mangas of youth and adolescence.

Lu Xiaoman and Liu Feiyu provided harmonious backing vocals while standing beside her.

The cameraman gave Chen Yinghan a close-up shot, and the audience erupted in awe at her incredible beauty.

The girls continued adjusting their positions as Lu Peiqin took her first solo turn.

Technically, she was the most skilled singer in the group.

Her delivery of the lines was commendable, with the final lyric being: "Under the sunset, the chicks return to their coop—but which came first, the egg or the chicken?"

The girls kneeled playfully on the stage, adopting cute poses that resembled the cheerfulness of a youth carnival.

Then it was Meimei’s turn to sing—her singing ability was average, but Lu Peiqin accompanied her with an excellent supporting harmony.

The group returned to the center stage to perform as background dancers for Chen Yinghan’s segment, during which her sweet voice graced the stage.

Together, the girls sang the final chorus, their youthful, fragrant voices carrying through the venue, filling the air and captivating the crowd as everyone clapped and waved along to the rhythm.

Li Ke had become entirely immersed in the performance by this point, with Lv Fangxin’s cherry-like aura leaving an indelible mark on his memory.

The six girls poured all of their charm into the performance.

Pouring out the irreversible moments of their youth.

Perhaps this would become the most beautiful memory of their lives.

The final act closed with Liu Feiyu attempting a C3 high note, though she struggled visibly.

While striking her ending pose, Lv Fangxin felt as though she was on the verge of fainting.

Over the past week, she’d averaged only four hours of sleep per day, leaving her trapped in a state of anxiety and semi-consciousness.

Tian Jiaxuan then asked the group to introduce themselves again: "Hello, everyone! I’m Lv Fangxin, your Hero of the Ages."

The nickname Lv Fangxin gave herself left the crowd completely puzzled—Hero of the Ages? Was she referring to something from "A Chinese Odyssey"?

Lv Fangxin, completely unaffected by the audience’s reaction, cheerfully balled her fists and rallied herself, saying: "Also, I’m the troublemaker of our team."

Beside her, Chen Yinghan couldn’t help but laugh at Fangxin’s remarks.

In truth, Fangxin’s role in the group could be summed up as the lucky mascot.

"I’m always off-key in our group, never knowing where to start a note. Earlier, Lu Peiqin helped me—please give her a thumbs-up and don’t let her leave!" Lv Fangxin explained, gazing at Lu Peiqin with genuine gratitude.

Moved, Lu Peiqin’s eyes brimmed with tears as she returned the thankful look.

"I hope our performance tonight made all of our creators happy." Her childlike voice and endearing gestures were irresistibly captivating.

Meng Meixuan and Wei Xin watched Lv Fangxin with envy.

Both reflected on their earlier words, feeling that their speeches had been inadequate—especially Wei Xin, who felt foolish for failing to seize such an opportunity.

It was Liu Feiyu’s turn to speak, but she found herself so overcome with emotion that words failed her.

The accumulation of exhaustion and grievances nearly brought her to tears.

"Feiyu, keep it up!"

"Feiyu, don’t cry!"

Hearing the audience cheer for her, Feiyu, who hadn’t had fans during the first performance, now heard dozens of voices calling her name.

Liu Feiyu suppressed her emotions, maintaining a poised smile. She gave a bow to the audience in gratitude.
