<h4>Chapter 64</h4>
One hourter.
All ten groups have finished performing!
The host Guan Liangzhe goes on stage: We''ve reached the most exciting moment again! Our online voting channel is now closed, and the backstage is tallying votes in real time!
The audience below erupts in cheers.
Guan Liangzhe: Wow, that cheer was loud enough. The editing team won''t need to add any sound effects for the final video.
The audienceughs.
Guan Liangzhe clears his throat: Alright! Now let''s announce the vote counts for the ten groups!
Immediately, ten columns with numbers appear on the big screen.
The vote counts for each group start climbing rapidly.
Soon, two groups'' counts stop moving.
The rest continue rising.
Gradually, more and more groups'' counts stagnate, until only the first group is still increasing.
It climbs far higher than the second ce, several times over.
The audience bellows, screaming Nan Xiangwan''s name.
Finally, the first group''s count stops.
1.3 million!
A real-name online vote of a full 1.3 million!
An absurd number.
The second ce has only 300,000 votes, barely a fraction of first ce.
Seeing this, Executive Director Hua Yuanwu''s face fills with joy.
It means their show''s poprity is skyrocketing!
He grabs the headset: Attention all departments, attention all departments, announce Nan Xiangwan''s individual vote count.
As soon as he finishes speaking.
Guan Liangzhe on stage receives the prompt.
He smiles at the audience, pointing at the big screen again: Want to know Nan Xiangwan''s individual vote count?
We want to know!!!
The thousand-strong audience yells in unison.
So the screen changes.
Nan Xiangwan: 1.08 million votes!
She alone has over a million votes!
Incredible!
Next, the on-site vote.
Most of the 5,000 on-site votes go to the first ce team, but they''re barely noticeable among the millions of online votes.
Then, the mentors'' votes.
The five junior mentors and three senior mentors give their votes to other groups, to avoid drowning out the talented trainees.
It''s Zhao Tiancheng''s turn to vote. Expressionless, he gives the 20,000 votes allocated to the Executive Director all to Nan Xiangwan!
Instantly, the first group''s count rises again.
And Nan Xiangwan''s personal count exceeds 1.1 million!
Guan Liangzhe immediately asks: Executive Director Zhao, why did you give all 20,000 votes to Nan Xiangwan alone?
Zhao Tiancheng''s mouth twitches. He can''t very well say it was the boss''s orders.
So he waves his hand: Let''s continue to the next part of the show!
Guan Liangzhe: Got it!
He doesn''t dare offend an entertainment mogul as a host.
If the other won''t exin, he won''t push it!
They move straight to the first ce team''s encore.
Guan Liangzhe: First ce, pleasee on stage!
Everyone watches the stage intently, Nan Xiangwan''s name flooding the bullet screenments.
Executive Director Hua Yuanwu smiles and nods repeatedly.
As expected, Nan Xiangwan is insanely popr, a natural-born star!
Just then.
The six members of the first groupe on stage, with Nan Xiangwan sandwiched between them. They walk a bit strangely.
Guan Liangzhe immediately starts the interview: Here they are! First, let''s ask first ce - whose idea was this stage y? It was so popr!
The mic goes to Deng Si Nan. She quickly says: It was my idea. When I heard this song, I felt it was perfect to adapt into a stage y with Cthulhu elements, more direct than just dancing and singing!
Guan Liangzhe nods: Brilliant! Now let''s ask Nan Xiangwan - how did you find crossdressing this time?
Nan Xiangwan''s teammates tense up.
But Guan Liangzhe is too fast, not leaving time to react. He''s already extended the mic to Nan Xiangwan''s mouth.
The audience fallspletely silent.
After the previous live show, the audience this time knows Nan Xiangwan doesn''t like noise. So they''re very obedient, quietly waiting for her to speak.
Guan Liangzhe looks expectantly, recalling fans specifically asking him to have Nan Xiangwan say more.
He thinks it''s a great question!
Fans must be curious to know the answer!
Just as everyone waits with bated breath.
Nan Xiangwan: Burp!
An earth-shattering belches from her mouth, amplified many times through the mic and speakers.
The impact!
The entire venue is frozen in shocked silence.
Everyone is stunned speechless!
Even Guan Liangzhe''s outstretched arm offering the mic shakes, his expression crumbling.
In all his years of hosting, it''s his first time encountering something like this!
Guan Liangzhe is rattled, unsure what to do next.
Nan Xiangwan''s eyes are zed over, clearly still fast asleep.
She can barely stand, propped up entirely by her teammates.
Let her speak?
She''ll just burp again!
The teammates panic, scrambling to muffle Nan Xiangwan''s mouth, hold her upright, stop her from falling, freaking out.
It''s over!
This is livestream!
Nan Xiangwan''s drunken burp was broadcasted!!!
The stage descends into chaos.
After the initial shocked silence.
The audience recovers and erupts into raucousughter.
Comments:
OMG she f***ing BURPED hahaha!
I was so pumped and attentive waiting for Nan Xiangwan to speak, then???
That burp, my god! Earth-shattering! Hahaha!!
Ground-shaking massive burp!
Nothing less expected from you, Nan Xiangwan!
I''m f***ing dying withughter, can you believe it?
Hahahahahahahahaha
Looks like Nan Xiangwan is drunk, right?
Here ites [burp emoji]
Brothers out there been single how many years? Making memes this fast!
On stage.
The four mentors exchange bewildered looks.
Zhao Tiancheng wipes sweat from his brow. F**k, what now?
Seeing the flustered Guan Liangzhe at a total loss, even the host doesn''t know what to do!
Raucousughter continues from below, the thousand-strong audienceughing uncontrobly.
Hrious hahaha!
At this time, Bian ZhiMing grabs the mic: What happened to Nan Xiangwan? Is she drunk?
Zhao Lan res at him. Better to not have asked that question.
Sure enough, theughter grows even louder!
Li Banyan takes the mic and honestly recounts everything that happened, apologizing profusely after finishing.
As Nan Xiangwan''s roommate, she feels she failed in her duties.
But her apologies are useless.
The audience justughs even harder!
