But with increased movement, her top slipped more obviously. Some audience members had noticed something was wrong.
Lin Xiaoman’s top seems about to fall.
Is she deliberately trying to attract attention?
If she doesn’t stop, a broadcast accident will happen…
Lin Xiaoman knew better than anyone that if she stopped, it would affect not just her, but her entire team.
She had to find another way.
Suddenly, she saw the fans blowing the ribbons towards her. She had a solution.
During a left-side jumping move, Lin Xiaoman grabbed a ribbon, pulled it with one hand, and with a turn, the ribbon wrapped around her chest. She tied a knot, successfully averting the crisis.
Although the system wasn’t fastened too tightly, it was still much better than being completely exposed.
These movements were all completed within a single song lyric, with incredible speed that left everyone stunned, and the online comments instantly multiplied.
— What just happened? Did I see that wrong?
— How clever, using a ribbon to cover up.
— Oh my god, the girl’s figure is so good, so sexy.
— I feel like she did this on purpose, stopping at nothing to get screen time.
— It’s actually normal for such a dress to come apart, and the way she immediately found a solution to continue dancing is so professional…
At that moment, “Creating Idols” reached a historic high in view count. While some people online were cursing and others defending her, Lin Xiaoman instantly became an internet sensation with just a single dance gif of her tying a ribbon.
After the live broadcast ended, she instantly jumped from 22nd place to 15th, ranking ahead of Ning Yumei.
“Bastard! Bitch! Idiot…” Ning Yumei returned to an empty dressing room, furiously throwing her phone on the table and cursing non-stop.
She had secretly cut the seams of Lin Xiaoman’s costume, intending to make her look foolish on stage, but unexpectedly, her plan had backfired completely.
Lin Xiaoman’s ranking had actually surpassed hers!
Growing increasingly angry, she swept everything off the table: “Bitch! She’s just a little slut who dares to be so arrogant! It’s infuriating! Damn…
Lin Xiaoman stepped back slightly but maintained her composure.
“I don’t care,” Lin Xiaoman replied confidently, clenching the scissors tighter. “This is my moment to shine, and I’m not letting it slip away.”
Ning Yumei’s face turned pale as she realized the gravity of her situation. Any further confrontation could lead to her career’s downfall. “You win this time,” she muttered, backing away slowly.
With that, Lin Xiaoman’s victory was all but sealed, and she turned her attention back to the camera as she pressed ‘record’ on her phone once more.
If anything happens to me, you won’t escape!”
Lin Xiaoman burst out laughing: “My dear sister, this is a society governed by law. We must act according to the law.”
As she spoke, Ning Yumei was already backed into a corner.
Being slightly taller, Lin Xiaoman slightly lowered her head, grabbed Ning Yumei’s chest area, and mercilessly “snipped” her costume to pieces. Then she let go and used scissors to cut open the chest areas of all the costumes on the nearby clothing rack.
Ning Yumei watched her crazy behavior, not daring to move.
After cutting the clothes, Lin Xiaoman was satisfied and prepared to leave.
Ning Yumei finally couldn’t help but scream: “What law allows you to do whatever you want?”
Lin Xiaoman reached the door, turned back and smiled. Her proud and incredibly beautiful expression left Ning Yumei stunned—
“Karma.”
She softly parted her lips and spoke with determination.
★, Chapter Three: PK
The next day was the final round of the semi-finals, with contestants selecting PK opponents starting from the top-ranked trainee.
Currently ranked first was Wei Qinghuan, a trainee returned from Korea, famous for being hot and sexy, the type boys liked. She had previously been in a band and released an album, considered to have a higher starting point among the contestants.
When the host asked who she would choose as her opponent, she unhesitatingly selected Lin Xiaoman.
“Why choose her?” The host asked the question on Lin Xiaoman’s mind.
According to the original host’s memories, Wei Qinghuan should have had a good impression of the original host.
The first time the original host went on stage and was too nervous to perform, while others mocked her, Wei Qinghuan had stood in front of her and encouraged her.
Lin Xiaoman could recall her gentle appearance back then, which was different from her current undisguised disdain.
“Someone who relies on provocative moves to attract attention doesn’t deserve to be on this stage,” Wei Qinghuan’s crisp voice rang through the entire stage as she stared directly at Lin Xiaoman.
Lin Xiaoman couldn’t explain immediately. When the host asked if she had anything to say, she simply stated: “I will prove that I absolutely do not need to use such small tricks with my own abilities.”
The live broadcast’s comment section instantly exploded.
Lin Xiaoman knew that Wei Qinghuan was quite talented and came from a music background.
But she had always been like this, the more challenging something was, the more she wanted to take it on.
After they finished speaking, the host explained the PK competition rules. The mentor Xie Xue would draw one song from four choices, and they would each perform. The one with the higher score would win, while the lower-scoring performer would be eliminated.
Lin Xiaoman and Wei Qinghuan stood on stage waiting for Xie Xue to draw the song. When the screen displayed the song title “Legend”, she subtly furrowed her brow.
“Legend” was an old song from over a decade ago. The singer Lin Li was known for her ethereal, crystal-clear voice and top-notch vocal skills. Her songs were must-sing tracks at karaoke, but also notorious for being difficult to perform.
In her previous life, Lin Xiaoman had released a few songs, but only had a superficial understanding. While she could control pitch and tone better than most for simple songs, she struggled with such a highly challenging piece.
However, Wei Qinghuan was different. The situation seemed unfavorable for her.
Lin Xiaoman unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth. The greater the pressure, the more motivated she became.
“Xiaoman seems quite confident,” Xie Xue drew everyone’s attention to Lin Xiaoman, “to be honest, facing such a difficult song makes me feel uneasy. Xiaoman seems so confident, I’m sure she’ll give us a stunning performance.”
Lin Xiaoman maintained her smile and explained, “Actually, seeing this song made me nervous too. Lin is a goddess in my heart. No one can sing a goddess’s song like the original! I can’t either! But I thought, the goddess is most tolerant and encouraging to newcomers. I should be more confident and not let her down.”
The current Lin Xiaoman naturally wouldn’t be fooled, and through searching the original owner’s memories, she found that from the show’s beginning, Xie Xue had always subtly criticized and targeted the original owner.
But perhaps because their faces were too similar, the original owner always reminded her of Tang Feifei – her deceased best friend who had betrayed her.
This must have been a kind of torment for her, which is why she wanted to eliminate the original owner as quickly as possible.
But Lin Xiaoman wouldn’t let her have her way, and would make her suffer even more.
“Actually, the more challenging something is, the more interesting it is to take it on,” Lin Xiaoman added.
Indeed, Xie Xue’s face turned pale, and she didn’t even notice when the host threw a question her way. Eventually, the host could only say a few words alone before asking Lin Xiaoman and Wei Qinghuan to prepare separately.
