"Pitiful? How am I pitiful?"
Ning Xixi couldn’t understand her bizarre logic.
Shi Manyu blinked her big eyes, enhanced by fake eyelashes, "No one came to watch your performance, aren’t you pitiful?"
Beside her, Cheng Youran twitched the corner of his mouth.
Hold it in! Hold it in!
Don’t stoop to arguing with this naive rich girl!
Just imagine if she knew that Yan Yichen would help Ning Xixi with her performance, what kind of expression would this foolish girl have?
Cheng Youran couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.
Shi Manyu, puzzled, asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"Ah? No, you saw wrong, I’m crying! Poor Xixi, it’s just so sad!"
Ning Xixi played along perfectly, "Yes, yes, I’m terribly pitiful."
Content, Shi Manyu swayed her hips and left.
She was going to put on a great show in a moment, determined to make Brother Yichen have eyes for her alone!
...
On stage, the host concluded his speech and announced that the Goddess Pageant had officially begun.
Below, the Principal and some leaders from the board of directors were seated, along with dance, music, and fashion experts who had been specially invited.
Shi Manyu’s number was relatively early in the lineup, and she soon took to the stage.
"Hello to the judges and fellow students," greeted Shi Manyu with a sweet smile, her adorable appearance earning favorable impressions from several judges.
The accompaniment began, a lively dance tune.
Shi Manyu sang and danced, quickly energizing the entire audience.
"Xiaoyu is the prettiest!"
"Goddess Xiaoyu, love you, mwah!"
"Oh my god, how can Xiaoyu be so cute? I’d give you my heart!"
The boys who fancied the ’lolita’ type were uncontrollably excited, waving their lightsticks and banners, shouting their support for Shi Manyu.
Shi Manyu was pleased with herself, see, she was still the beloved cutie~
After her song, she put her arms over her head to make a heart shape and cheekily winked at Yan Yichen.
Yan Yichen felt a chill up his arms and managed a perfunctory smile.
Shi Manyu descended the stage bashfully, believing she would score high.
But she was unaware that some older judges disliked her showy demeanor.
"It’s a Goddess Pageant! Not some idol talent show! This is unbecoming!"
"Indeed, look at those male students below, they lack self-respect!"
Others nodded in agreement.
The judges began revealing their scores one by one, leaving Shi Manyu green-faced.
Out of a perfect score of 10, she only received 7! Even lower than a few girls before her!
Embarrassed and indignant, she covered her face and ran backstage.
...
"I’m so mad, Yingluo! Those old men just can’t appreciate beauty!" Shi Manyu stomped her feet in frustration, as Dong Yingluo feigned sympathy, "Xiaoyu, you performed very well, it’s their lack of taste."
"Sob sob sob... you’re the best, dear. It’s almost your turn, good luck!" Dong Yingluo idiotically cheered her on.
"Oh no, I’m sure I won’t perform well~" Dong Yingluo feigned modesty, sneering inwardly, what a fool.
The number Shi Manyu performed was her suggestion; of course, she knew that kind of performance wouldn’t score high.
Besides Ning Xixi, Shi Manyu was her strongest competitor!
Poor Shi Manyu was clueless about how calculated and venomous Dong Yingluo’s scheming was.
...
"Next up: Dong Yingluo." The staff member called out, holding the list.
"I’ll be there in a moment."
When Dong Yingluo appeared on stage, clad in an ancient-style white dress, ethereal as a fairy, holding a guqin—she instantly captivated the entire audience!
