The host deliberately teased the audience, saying, “Dear viewers, Ash, our mysterious guest, will appearter. Please keep your


    eyes peeled and wait!”


    Upon hearing this, the viewers in the livestream were frustrated and annoyed at being kept in suspense.


    However, despite theirints, not a single person left the livestream.


    They were just too curious about Ash’s true identity.


    The viewers of the livestream continued to skyrocket.


    Since this was a music variety show, the host invited Bryce and Matthey to perform one of their new songs live as a promotion.


    Bryce performed Dark Faith.


    Then, Matthew sang the lead single from his album, which he hadposed himself.


    Both of them disyedparable singing talents, making it hard to dere a winner.


    However, in the livestream, Bryce seemed to have more supporters.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Matthew’s fans scoffed, arguing that even though Dark Faith sounded. good, Bryce didn’tpose it himself.


    In contrast, Matthew''s song was his ownposition, showcasing his


    talent.


    [Of the four guests on the show today, only our Matthew can write songs!]


    [Ha, some people don’t release new songs, nor can they write music. | wonder why they’re even on a music variety show. Yes,


    I''m talking about. Ashley. What does she have besides her beauty?]


    [Good thing she has cut ties with Matthew. Our Matthew doesn’t have to be dragged down by her anymore!]


    Ashley’s fans couldn’t stand it anymore.


    [So what if she can’tpose? Ashley is on the show because the production team invited her!].

    On the set, after Bryce and Matthew finished performing their new songs, the host chatted with them about the creative process


    behind their


    music.


    Then, the host divided the four guests into two teams, with Ashley and Bryce on one team and Matthew and Jessica on the


    other.


    Holding the microphone, the host announced. “Now, let’s move on to a music-rted game. Ashley and Bryce’s team will write


    four lines of lyrics on the spot.


    “Meanwhile, Matthew and Jessica’s team willpose a tune on the spot. You don’t need toplete an entire song, just the


    melody for these four lines of lyrics.”


    Although Bryce wasn’t good atposing music, he was adept at writing lyrics.


    He had written the lyrics for all three of his


    new songs.


    In less than two minutes, Bryce’s inspiration flowed, and he wrote four lines of lyrics. He then passed them to Ashley, whispering,


    “How''s this?”


    Ashley nced down at them and replied in a hushed voice, “Pretty good.”


    Bryce smirked with a hint of arrogance. “Who would dare to criticize my lyrics?”


    Ashley gave him a sideways nce and smiled slightly, “I''ve seen your lyric-writing skills. When will | get to see your pole


    dancing skills?”


    Bryce was momentarily speechless, taken aback by her unexpected


    comment.


    Annoyed, he thought, ‘Damn it. The words ‘pole dancing’ are like a fatal. blow!”


    Bryce then wondered if he had lost his mind back then and thought, “Why on earth did | ever mention pole dancing in front of


    Ashley?”


    Because Ashley and Bryce were speaking in hushed tones, the livestream audience couldn’t hear them, which sparked their


    curiosity...


    [What are those two talking about? Is there something we VIPs aren''t privy to?]


    [Has anyone else noticed that Ashley and Bryce seem to have a bit of


    09:881


    chemistry?]


    [What??? @Ariml, hey,e here! Someone is randomly shipping a couple here!]


    On the other side, Matthew and Jessica were still working onposing their music, and it looked like it was going to take a


    while.


    A viewer wondered: [Why don’t they let Ashley and Bryce’s teampose?]


    Matthew’s fans immediately chimed in: [Are you joking? Bryce should stick to writing lyrics. As for Ashley, she can’tpose or


    write lyrics. She should be grateful just to appear on the show!]


    After nearly 30 minutes, Matthew finallypleted theposition for the four lines of lyrics.


    The show''s crew had already prepared a piano.


    The host invited Matthew to y the tune on the piano and sing the lyrics along with it.


    Dressed in a crisp white suit, Matthew approached the piano and sat down. His fingers gracefully danced over the keys, ying


    out the melody he hadposed.


    After Matthew''s performance, the host asked the other three guests for theirments.


    With eyes brimming with admiration for Matthew, Jessica smiled, “Matthew, you yed so beautifully. This is my first time


    witnessing someonepose on the spot. It’s amazing!”


    Then, the host turned toward Bryce.


    Bryce lifted his microphone and said, “I’ve witnessed someone else live.position.”


    The host quickly asked, “Can you share more about that?”


    With a cheeky grin, Bryce confidently responded, “Ash hadposed two songs for me in just 15 minutes.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, the livestream’s chat exploded.


    [Wow! Two songs in 15 minutes! That''s the genius Ash for you!]


    09.33


    [Umm, but it took Matthew 30 minutes topose music for just four lines of lyrics...]


    [When is Ashing on? I’m dying of curiosity here.]


    Next, the host looked towards Ashley for herments on Matthew’s liveposition.


    Ashley picked up the microphone.


    But before Ashley could speak, Matthew interjected, “I don’t need. feedback from someone who doesn’t understand how to


    compose a


    song.”


    His words were clearly directed at Ashley.


    Ashley didn’t respond but simply nced coolly at Matthew, her beautiful eyes brimming with disdain.


    Matthew sneered inwardly, thinking, ‘What does Ashley know? She was, totally inadequate to critique my work!’


    After the liveposition segment concluded, the host excitedly announced.


    now, let mear viewers, | know you''ve all been eagerly waiting. So


    now, let me formally announce that the legendary Ash is about toe!”
