The devil is by your side

Chapter 164 Advance to the Finals
Charlotte's novel way of acting immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

She held five leaves of different sizes and thicknesses in her hand, and imitated different sounds. Under the background of electronic music of wind and stream, it showed the lively scene of the revival of all things in the forest in the early spring.

"This performance is so unique, it's the first time I've seen such a performance." The students in the audience started talking.

"Yes, that's right. I never thought that a small leaf could make so many different sounds."

"Who is this girl on the stage? She looks so cute and pure, she is really as innocent as an elf in the woods." A boy looked at Charlotte obsessively.

"I know her. Her name is Xia Luoluo. She is a first-year student in the high school department. But don't pay attention to her. She already has a boyfriend, and she is the one who can't be messed with, Young Master Long." The girl next to her immediately gossiped. stand up.

"Hey... Although I can't chase her, I decided to vote for her today!" Although the boy regretted that Charlotte already had a boyfriend, he still decided to vote for Charlotte.

On the stage, Xia Luoluo closed her eyes slightly, switched the different blades with her fingers deftly, and devoted herself to the performance without being affected by the atmosphere of the scene at all.

The lively spring is here, and the little animals are playing happily in the forest until the night falls again, the moon rises, the noise of the day finally recedes, and the small woods gradually restore the tranquility, only occasionally there are a few playful The little squirrel on the branch made a rustling sound.

The lights gradually dimmed until Charlotte's figure disappeared into the darkness.

When the show was over, the lights came back on.

Charlotte opened her eyes and recovered from the performance.

There was a burst of earth-shattering applause from the audience.

"awesome!"

"Charolo, we support you!"

Xia Luoluo clenched the leaves in her palms tightly. Her palms were actually full of sweat, but she tried to maintain an elegant smile on her face. She bowed to the audience, waved her hands, and walked to the edge of the stage.

All twenty contestants finished their performances.

The host came on stage, and the other nineteen contestants followed suit, standing in a row behind the host.

"Dear judges, teachers and students, just now we have enjoyed the wonderful performances brought by today's [-] contestants, and then we will enter the tense scoring session and on-site voting session." The host smiled and said: "Our staff has already The on-site scoring has begun. Next, all of our audiences are invited to pick up the voting devices in your hands and start voting for the best school belle candidate in your mind. Everyone must be optimistic about the voting devices in your hands and the corresponding contestant numbers. I announce, Voting begins now!"

At the order of the host, the numbers on the big screen on the stage began to scroll, and the bar graph representing the contestants also began to increase a little bit.

Among them, the two people with the highest number of votes were Xia Luoluo and Tang Yuxi.

Tang Yuxi's playing skills are very skilled, and he is considered a celebrity, so he naturally has many supporters, and Xia Luoluo's ability to stand out and become an opponent who can look down on Tang Yuxi is more due to luck and today's unique performance.

The votes of the two were far ahead among the 1 contestants, and they were almost evenly matched. At the end of the final voting, the two had the same number of votes, and they were tied for No.[-] in the on-site voting.

At this time, the judges' scoring has also been calculated.

The host took the score sheet onto the stage.

"Judges and teachers, audience friends at the scene, the scores have been calculated, and I will announce the scores of the contestants after recording them down. The number one contestant, Qiao Xiaoya, scored 85 points... The No. 19 contestant, Tang Yuxi, finally scored 98 points! "Hearing Tang Yuxi's score, the scene immediately burst into warm applause. This score is very high, and it is far ahead of other players at present.

When Tang Yuxi heard her score, she waved to the audience with a bright smile and blew a kiss. At the same time, she gave Xia Luoluo a contemptuous glance.

Charlotte clenched her fists nervously, swallowed, and waited for the host to announce her results.

The host paused, giving the audience enough time to applaud, and when the applause stopped, she paused intentionally, "The next thing I want to announce is the last contestant in today's competition, our No. 20 contestant Xia Lolo's final score." Then he raised the volume sharply and announced loudly: "At the same time, she is also our highest score of 99 points in this game! Let's give applause to our well-deserved No.1 tonight——Xia Lolo!"

"Sister Lolo, I knew you were the best!"

"Come on, Charlotte!"

Hearing that Xia Luoluo's score surpassed Tang Yuxi's 98 points and got a super high score of 99 points, the members of Xia Luoluo's support club were extremely excited. Still excited.

There was an overwhelming applause from the audience again.

After hearing the results announced by the host, Xia Luoluo was completely blindfolded, her ears buzzed, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Student Xia Luoluo, congratulations. Not only do you have the highest support rate on the spot, even the judges agree that your performance is the best. Congratulations on becoming the well-deserved No.1 tonight!" The host stepped forward and gave Xia Luoluo A warm hug.

Only then did Charlotte come back to her senses.

The host let go of Xia Luoluo and continued: "At the same time, congratulations to Tang Yuxi and other nine contestants, congratulations on advancing to the final! Let us give applause to the ten contestants who advanced to the final, and also to the other ten contestants. Although they missed the final with regret, their wonderful performances are still fresh in our memory. I would also like to thank every audience present for your enthusiastic participation. See you in the final!"

The contestants who entered the final waved to the audience with smiles on their faces. Although the contestants who failed to enter the final felt very sorry, they had to forcefully smile and wave to the audience at this moment.

The curtain came down slowly.

When the audience could no longer see the scene on the stage, Tang Yuxi immediately gave Xia Luoluo a hard look, turned around and left, ignoring the hosts and other contestants who wanted to get close to her.

After Tang Yuxi left, Xia Luoluo became the target of everyone's siege.

"Student Charlotte, congratulations!"

"Your performance today is awesome. I was stunned. How did you learn to imitate the sound of such an animal with leaves?"

The host and other contestants surrounded Xia Luoluo curiously and asked questions.

"Thank you everyone. I learned it from my mother when I was a child. At that time, I just thought it was interesting." Charlotte was surrounded by these unfamiliar girls. Obviously they were not familiar with them at all, but they wanted to do something to her. A familiar look made Charlotte feel extremely embarrassed.

"Luoluo, let's go, let's go home." Long Zeye's voice sounded when Xia Luoluo was in a state of desperation.

Hearing Long Zeye's voice, Xia Luoluo seemed to hear the sounds of nature.

"Oh, good." Charlotte cast a grateful look at Long Zeye.

The girls who surrounded Xia Luoluo did not expect Long Zeye to come to the backstage to find Xia Luoluo, and they immediately obediently made way.

Xia Luoluo escaped from the crowd smoothly, and trotted to Long Zeye in three steps at a time.

"Thank you for saving me." Charlotte stuck out her tongue.

Long Zeye stretched out his long arms, put his arms around Xia Luoluo's shoulders, and led her out of the backstage gracefully.

When the figures of Long Zeye and Xia Luoluo disappeared from everyone's sight, everyone came back to their senses.

"Ah! It's Young Master Long, it's Young Master Long! He's so handsome, he's even more handsome in real life than in the photos!"

"That's right, he and Xia Luoluo are really a couple, right? I thought Xia Luoluo was quite inconspicuous before, but I didn't expect to see them close up today, and they are quite a match."

Everyone talked about Xia Luoluo and Long Zeye.

"Hey... I'm so jealous. Did you see that Master Long looked at Xia Luoluo with gentle eyes just now, not at all as cold as in the legend. I really hope that his pampering is for me." A senior The hair girl held her face and committed a nympho.

"Hmph, give up, Young Master Long is not blind yet, so he won't fall in love with you." Another curly-haired girl rolled her eyes at her.

"Who are you talking about?" The long-haired girl immediately refused.

"Say whoever answers!"

"You want to fight, don't you, come on!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, you two, Master Long and Xia Luoluo are just a couple, what are you two messing with, you didn't make it to the finals and you still have the mood to quarrel over this." Another girl flipped She rolled her eyes, packed her things and was about to leave.

The people they were talking about, Long Zeye and Xia Luoluo, had already left, and there was no point in arguing, so they each packed their things and went back to the dormitory.

Long Zeye drove Charlotte away from the meeting place, but he was not in a hurry to take her back to the hilltop villa, but took her away from the Saint Laurent Royal Academy.

"Brother Long, this is not the way back to the villa on the top of the hill, where are you taking me?" Xia Luoluo blinked and asked.

"You dressed up so beautifully today, and you even advanced to the finals as the No. On his face, the narrow and dark phoenix eyes no longer had the usual coldness, and slowly he was doting. He slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said to Charlotte: "In order to congratulate you on advancing to the final, I specially prepared a gift for you." , I hope you will like it when you see it later.

"What gift?" Charlotte asked curiously.

"You can't say it yet, but you will know when it arrives." Long Zeye blinked his eyes, deliberately keeping it a secret.

Long Zeye's sports car came to a quiet beach along the coastal road.

The beach is well maintained and there are no traces of tourists passing by. It should be a private beach.

Long Zeye stopped the car, walked to the passenger seat, and opened the door for Xia Luoluo.

Charlotte got out of the car and looked around curiously.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the sea breeze felt a little cold on his face, and Xia Luoluo shivered.

"I'm sorry, I forgot. Although it's spring, it's still a bit cold at night if you're at the beach." Long Zeye apologized, took off his coat and put it on Charlotte.
