Chapter 120: It would be a pity if I didn't use this hand for needlework (two in one)

"In addition to the familiar faces from the first episode, there will be a new replacement singer coming to our stage to participate in the competition this time. I wonder if you can guess who she is?" Backstage, Su Qing said to the camera while walking towards the room.

The comments also sparked heated discussions:

"I'll go first, and I'll be eliminated first!"

"It also excludes me."

"+1"

"Be bold and exclude everyone here first."

"How do you know that other people aren't watching the show with us?"

"Then let's switch it up. I bet fifty cents that the replacement singer definitely can't be An Ruo."

"I bet five bucks that it couldn't be Lin Youxi."

"I bet it's a singer."

"Damn, you are a bunch of idiots. You are asked to guess something that even these idiots know."

"Everyone was just joking, why are you the only one who took it seriously?"

"Look, catch an honest man alive."

There were few serious discussions in the comments, all of them were just making memes. There were also a few comments from people who watched the show from the back and then came to the front to give spoilers, but they were quickly drowned out by the comments making memes.

Soon, Su Qing opened the door of the last room, and a young woman with long hair, about thirty years old, with a pretty face, tall figure and good looks appeared in the camera.

As soon as the woman appeared, someone immediately recognized her: "Fuck, it's Meiya!"

"Wow, it's Sister Miya!"

"Another beauty! Love it."

"So the production crew also reads the comments? They really are giving the brothers some benefits."

"Generally, these breasts and legs don't feel as good as An Ruo's."

"It's really normal (pull up your pants)."

"I remember Miya married a husband and retired. Why is she out again?"

"Maybe she just had a baby and is here to earn money for milk powder?"

"You haven't sung for several years. Your singing skills must have declined a long time ago. Are you here to be cannon fodder?"

"Maybe you want to make a comeback?"

Miya was a top-tier singer who was very popular many years ago. Many of her classic songs back then are still frequent visitors to major music charts. However, it was later revealed by paparazzi that Miya was dating Li Quan, a famous songwriter who was more than ten years older than her.

One is in his twenties and the other is already in his forties.

Although couples with an age difference of more than ten years are not uncommon in the entertainment industry, it still caused dissatisfaction among many fans. After all, she has a lot of fans who like her looks and are her wife.

If you were dating a young guy, people might be able to accept it, but they naturally wouldn't understand if you're dating an old man.

However, Miya was also very decisive at the time. She actually announced her marriage to Li Quan in public and retired not long after. There has been no news about her in the circle for many years. Unexpectedly, she would appear on the show "Who is the King of Singers" as a replacement singer today.

"Hello, Teacher Miya."

"Hello Su Qing."

Su Qing and Mei Ya greeted each other.

"It's very surprising that Teacher Meiya would appear on our stage. After all, you announced your retirement many years ago. I wonder why you thought of coming here this time?" Su Qing also asked the question that the audience wanted to know most.

Meiya smiled and said, "Because I've been away from the stage for so many years, I really miss you all. And I'm here today to tell you through this show that I'm going to make a comeback."

Barrage: "Comeback?!"

"Ahhh, Miya is finally going to make a comeback. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

"Sister Meiya, you missed us so much."

"Woo woo woo, Meiya is coming back, my youth is back."

"Fuck, there are so many brainless fans. It's obvious that they are short of money and want to come back to make money."

"Wasn't it quite cool when you announced your retirement? Why are you making a comeback now?"

"In the beginning, you didn't treat your fans as human beings. You got married when you wanted to, and retired when you wanted to. Now you're selling feelings and saying you miss everyone. It's disgusting."

Some fans were very excited about Miya's comeback, while others were cynical about it.

"Since Teacher Meiya wants to make a comeback, I believe she must have made sufficient preparations for this first battle after her comeback, right?" Su Qing asked with a surprised expression.

"Of course, after all, I'm here to win the championship." Meiya nodded.

"Win the championship?" Su Qing was stunned when she heard this. "Teacher Meiya is very confident. You know, the guests in the last episode, including Teacher Yuki, all expressed that they were under a lot of pressure. You have been retired for so many years. Is it really okay?"

Su Qing's words had some reminder implications. After all, even the queen of pop didn't dare to say that she could win the championship. As a singer who had retired from the music scene for many years, your strength must have declined. Isn't it a bit too ostentatious to say that you can win the championship when you just arrived on this stage?
"I originally thought that since I haven't sung for so many years, I was afraid that my singing skills would decline and I wouldn't be able to compete with others. But when I watched our last show a few days ago, I realized that I was worrying too much," Miya said with a smile.

"What does Teacher Meiya mean by this?" Su Qing asked.

"Because I found that our program doesn't seem to place special emphasis on singing skills. Even if you can't sing well, as long as you are pretty and sing two good original songs, you can still win. So I don't think I will lose." Miya shrugged, with some contempt in her smile.

As soon as this was said, there was an uproar at the scene, and the comments were also:
"Tsk, you're quite arrogant."

"Is she implying something about An Ruo?"

"She can't sing, she's pretty, she sings original songs, isn't this naming names? She's publicly jumping on An Ruo's face, what the hell, are we going to fight?"

"Beautiful women fighting, my favorite episode."

"She doesn't deserve to be called a beauty. Her looks and figure are more than one level lower than An Ruo's, but her mouth is much wilder than hers."

"Although An Ruo's singing skills are not top-notch, she is also very good, and her original songs are of very high quality. I don't know where Mei Ya got the confidence to say this."

"Before Meiya retired, her popularity and strength were no worse than Anruo's. Why doesn't she have the confidence now?"

"That was before she retired. Who is she now? How can she be compared with our An Ruo?"

"Meiya is still stronger than your An Ruo even if she pulls harder now."

Passersby had different opinions, and Meiya fans and Anruo fans started arguing directly in the barrage.

"This person is here with ill intentions." Chu Ze also heard the meaning of confrontation from Meiya's words, and said to Xia Anruo, "Does this woman have a grudge against you?"

"How is that possible? I hadn't even made my debut when she retired. How could there be any grudge against her?" Xia Anruo shook her head.

"Then what does she mean by this? She targets you right away?" Chu Ze asked curiously.

"Who knows? It's inexplicable, just like Xu Ya before." Xia Anruo was also confused.

She obviously had hardly any dealings with these two people, so why did they both seem to have a grudge against her and like to cause trouble?
"Is it your destiny to be unlucky?" Chu Ze pondered.

"..."

It’s true, Meiya Xuya, both their names contain the word “Ya”.

In the future, if you see names containing the word "Ya", would it be better to avoid them?

While Xia Anruo was thinking, Chu Ze suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oh, I understand. She wants to use you as a stepping stone to step on your popularity and attract traffic for her comeback."

Xia Anruo frowned when he heard this, and felt that it seemed to make sense.

After all, although Meiya was very popular before, she has retired for so many years, and even if she makes a comeback, her popularity will definitely not be as high as before. So she definitely needs a big wave of hype to stir up her popularity now, and who is the most popular person in this show now?

Xia Anruo!

Targeting Xia Anruo from the beginning will naturally draw the attention of the audience watching the show to her.

And if he wins Xia Anruo on the show right after his comeback, you can imagine how popular he will be.

And what if you lose?

That will certainly be ridiculed, but all we can say is that black and red are also red, at least the heat has been hyped up. After the attention comes up, we can operate it, wait for the onlookers to disperse, sell the misery, and immediately whitewash it and be reborn.

This is a very common hype method.

In the show, Su Qing was also surprised by Meiya's remarks. She obviously did not expect her to make such targeted remarks.

Are you causing trouble as soon as you get here?

However, Su Qing was also a little curious: "Can I ask what trump card Teacher Meiya has prepared for her to be so confident?"

"My husband knows that I'm going to make a comeback, so he specially wrote a few new songs for me. Now it's a good opportunity for me to come to this stage to try out the effects first." When Miya mentioned her husband, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

"Teacher Li Quan's new song?" Su Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and was a little surprised.

Meiya’s husband Li Quan is a famous figure in the songwriting world, and has written many popular classic old songs. Meiya’s popularity back then was naturally due to the contribution of Li Quan, who helped her write songs.

It can be said that Meiya was promoted by Li Quan back then.

Moreover, in terms of status and strength, Li Quan is no worse than a certain man named Cai in prison.

So when Meiya said this, the barrage exploded:
"What the hell, Li Quan's new song?!"

"Anything produced by Li Quan must be top quality!"

"No wonder you are so confident, it turns out you have your husband to help you."

"Doesn't that mean Meiya will also have to sing an original song?"

"It's over. An Ruo is in danger this time."

"What's the danger? Neither of them can necessarily be drawn into a group, and if someone comes to sing an original song, shouldn't the danger be for another singer?"

Other singers in the room said that was indeed the case…

Damn, again?
It’s fine if there’s only An Ruo, but why is there another original creator?
Is the internal competition so serious in variety shows nowadays?

With a new song in each episode, this variety show is enough to release a new album.

"So did she draw you in the later draw?" Chu Ze was also very curious now.

"Heh, I sent her straight to the resurrection match." Xia Anruo sneered and gave away the whole thing. She had been annoyed for a long time because of this woman who started trouble right away.

"Happy." Chu Ze also laughed when he heard it, "Sure enough, no one who dares to provoke my wife will have a good ending."

"That is!"

Xia Anruo raised his head and before he could feel proud, he immediately realized that something was wrong and yelled at Chu Ze, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"what happened?"

"Who is your wife?" Xia Anruo retorted.

"Isn't it?" Chu Ze just looked at her.

"No." Xia Anruo denied expressionlessly.

"But I just stamped it, isn't it?" Chu Ze glanced at Xia Anruo's pink little mouth and couldn't help licking his lips.

"You still have the nerve to say it?"

Xia Anruo felt embarrassed and annoyed when she heard this, and reached out to pinch Chu Ze's arm, but Chu Ze, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, stopped her and grabbed her hand.

"Let me go!" Xia Anruo struggled.

"Okay, okay, it's not a wife, but is it okay to be a girlfriend?" Chu Ze coaxed.

"Who is your girlfriend? I didn't agree to you." Xia Anruo's struggling movements slowed down a bit after hearing that, but she still denied it.

"That's okay, right, as for my future girlfriend?" Chu Ze said again.

"Humph."

This time Xia Anruo didn't refute, but just blushed, snorted, and turned around to continue watching the show.

Chu Ze then took Xia Anruo's hand and placed it on his thigh. He held her warm and tender palm with one hand, and pinched her five slender fingers with the other hand.

Very soft and smooth, feels very good.

People say that hands are like tender catkins. Tender catkins originally refers to the newly born leaf buds of plants. In the old days, it was mostly used to describe women's tender and white hands. Chu Ze had no idea about this before, but this time he thought this description was perfect.

It would be a shame not to do needlework with such soft and smooth hands.

There's something wrong with you kid!

The lottery segment of this episode had already begun. Xia Anruo was watching the show but couldn't concentrate at all because Chu Ze was pinching her hand next to her and she couldn't concentrate on the video at all.

After being pinched by Chu Ze for a long time while trying to suppress her shame, Xia Anruo finally couldn't stand it anymore and scolded, "What are you doing?"

"I can't touch my future girlfriend's hand?" Chu Ze said as a matter of course.

Before letting go, Chu Ze might have found an excuse. Now that they’ve kissed, is it not okay to just touch her hand?
"Are you touching me? You're just playing!" Xia Anruo said angrily.

"I'm not joking, I'm telling your fortune." Chu Ze said seriously as he raised her hand in front of him, then looked at it in a pretentiously profound manner.

"So what did you figure out?" Xia Anruo asked, resisting the urge to slap him.

"I calculated that our horoscopes are very compatible and we are destined to be a couple, so you have to seize the opportunity. You can't miss a good man like me." Chu Ze lied shamelessly.

"Are you the kind of good guy who likes to take advantage of girls all the time?" Xia Anruo sneered.

"How could that be? I only like to take advantage of you. I have never touched other girls." Chu Ze clarified.

Before meeting Xia Anruo, he was a pure little boy who had never even touched a girl's hand.

There is absolutely no dispute about this.

"If you had touched other girls casually, you would be talking to me in the police station now." Xia Anruo said.

After all, other people are not as easy to talk to as she is.

"..."

Chu Ze was speechless.

He looked down at the slender jade fingers in front of him, and suddenly an idea came to him. He couldn't help but separate her fingers one by one, then put his fingers in, clasping their fingers together tightly.

"You..." Xia Anruo was stunned when she saw this.

"You won't send me to the police station, will you?" Holding Xia Anruo's hand tightly, Chu Ze looked at her with a smile.

Xia Anruo looked at Chu Ze's smiling eyes and felt the warmth coming from the palm of her hand, and her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

It turns out that meeting someone you like really makes your heart flutter.
