Chapter 429 Xia Jiuqi
Facing these gazes and discussions, the three of them had no reaction.
Ignored!
At the sign-in area.
After the three registered, they found a corner and sat down, waiting for the recording to begin.
But just a few minutes after sitting down, a tall, sunny-looking boy walked over, his attention clearly on Shen Li.
"Hello, my name is Xu Xianglei, can I get to know you?"
Xu Xianglei extended his right hand, a kind smile appearing: "A few months ago, I heard a talented girl appeared in the GS exam, refreshing the highest score record. Never thought the legendary talented girl would be so beautiful."
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Shen Li glanced at Xu Xianglei with a blank expression, her attitude quite cold.
Xu Xianglei: "…"
All along, relying on his advantage in appearance, he had been invincible in picking up girls. Originally thought this time he could still easily get the other party's contact information, never expected to be rebuffed right at the start.
Especially in front of so many people, his face couldn't help but feel scorching hot.
"Cough——"
Xu Xianglei's expression changed. Soon, his face was once again full of smiles as he spoke: "Of course it has a relationship. The love of beauty is common to all ."
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
Shen Li's reaction was still very cold, could even be called indifferent.
This time, Xu Xianglei completely couldn't maintain his composure.
The situation here made quite a few boys feel secretly satisfied in their hearts. After all, everyone has that little fantasy about beauties in their hearts. After seeing Xu Xianglei's dejected appearance, they couldn't help but rejoice in his misfortune.
"Tsk tsk, truly embarrassing!"
"A cold and aloof goddess!"
"Haha, can't stop laughing. This guy has hit on no less than five female contestants in a short while. Finally saw him fail once, satisfying!"
…
Xu Xianglei's face flushed red and blue. But facing Shen Li's coldness, he couldn't say anything, could only smile sheepishly and turn to leave.
Ning Xi, who witnessed the whole process, quietly leaned closer to Ye Fan's ear and whispered: "Gege, comparing to this boy, don't you feel a particular sense of accomplishment? Xiao Li towards you is…"
"Stop!"
Before the girl could finish speaking, Ye Fan quickly called a halt. Looking at the girl's curved crescent moon eyes, he said inaudibly low: "Xiao Xi, you've been a bit mischievous ( naughty) lately. If you dare to tease me like this again, be careful…"
Ye Fan leaned closer to Ning Xi's ear and said something. Instantly, Ning Xi pushed him away, the shyness between her brows and eyes more obvious than ever.
Noticing the two flirting , Shen Li's eyelids twitched.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Everyone followed the staff into a huge hall. Two areas were set up on the west side, each area with fifty seats.
On the east side, a stage over a meter high was built, with three noble-looking chairs on it.
Following a burst of music, the famous host He Dong appeared on stage.
He Dong looked at the fifty internally decided contestants below the stage, his face full of smiles, said: "Quiet down, very happy to see everyone here. The fifty contestants below are the internally decided contestants for this Brain Ladder, divided into three tiers: 40 third-seed contestants, 8 second-seed contestants, and 2 first-seed contestants."
"Of course, this session of Brain Ladder also has fifty contestants who stood out from the auditions. Next, let's welcome them to the stage."
Following He Dong's announcement, Passage No. 2, opposite Passage No. 1, opened. Contestants walked out one by one. Instantly, a hundred people gathered in the hall. Because they stood relatively scattered, at a glance, dense figures moved about.
Clearly, the audition contestants and internally decided contestants formed two camps, vaguely giving a sense of being at loggerheads .
He Dong's voice sounded again, "Next, let's welcome the guest judges for this session of Brain Ladder. Regarding these three, everyone should not be unfamiliar: Jin Jueping, Pang Yunfei, two science guest judges, and popularity guest judge Xia Jiuqi!"
Stirring music sounded. Two men in their forties and a beautiful young girl in her twenties ascended the stage. After the three were seated, the music stopped.
Seeing Xia Jiuqi, excitement appeared on the faces of many contestants.
"Damn , the program team is awesome! They even invited Xia Jiuqi. In my impression, this seems to be her first time participating in a variety show recording."
"Xia Jiuqi herself is so beautiful! I'm her die-hard fan, I bought every one of her albums."
"Sweet voice, beautiful person, deserves to be popular!"
"Going to get an autograph later. Brothers, anyone together?"
"Count me in…"
…
Hearing the discussions below the stage, He Dong walked to Xia Jiuqi's chair, smiled and said: "Jiuqi's popularity is very high."
Xia Jiuqi wore a white formal dress, her facial features clear and beautiful, a bun hairstyle making her look even sweeter. Hearing He Dong's words, she raised the microphone and smiled generously, "Teacher He is joking. The contestants clearly prefer Teacher Jin and Teacher Pang more. I am just an outsider. Coming this time is precisely to find out how useless I am."
One sentence caused continuous laughter on site.
"Wow."
Ning Xi, standing behind the crowd, her expression extremely jubilant, tightly held Ye Fan's hand, "Gege, it's Xia Jiuqi! I really like her songs."
Infected by Ning Xi's emotions, Ye Fan smiled and suggested: "Then let's go get her autograph later?"
"That's not necessary."
The corners of Ning Xi's eyes curved, "Still have to maintain distance from idols, otherwise, that feeling won't be there anymore."
Ye Fan: "…"
This logic is exceptionally peculiar!
Chasing stars so rationally, truly his girl.
Hearing the two's conversation, Shen Li in front turned around and inquired: "Brother Ye, is this Xia Jiuqi very popular?"
In her memory, there was fundamentally no such person as Xia Jiuqi. When she was abroad, she fundamentally didn't care about the domestic entertainment circle.
"So-so."
Ye Fan said lightly: "A singer, only became popular these past two years."
Ning Xi secretly pouted her lips, muttered in a low voice: "Gege, Xia Jiuqi isn't just 'so-so', she's very popular. Her Weibo fans have already exceeded forty million, also among the top tier people in the entertainment circle."
"Haven't paid much attention."
Ye Fan smiled sheepishly, turned to Shen Li again and said: "Xia Jiuqi is very popular, Weibo fans exceed forty million, a top-tier existence in the entertainment circle."
Ning Xi: "…"
Shen Li: "…"
On stage, after simple pleasantries, He Dong raised the microphone and announced: "Next, let's begin the personal introductions of the internally decided contestants."
As his voice fell, Shen Li's photo was displayed on the large screen on site, a deep and resonant male voice sounded.
"Number one seed Shen Li, 18 years old, obtained a high score of 599 in the GS exam, refreshing the GS historical scoring record."
"Hiss——"
Quite a few contestants lightly sucked in a cold breath. How difficult the GS exam was, they couldn't be clearer.
In fact, quite a few contestants had also participated in the GS exam, but couldn't even reach the most basic passing line.
599 points, the value is too substantial!
