Before the previous few performances, the program team was very strict about light sticks, fearing that they would affect the stage filming and the trainees' performance, so they basically confiscated them all before entering.

Even if someone secretly brought them in, as soon as they were lit up, they would be confiscated by security.

So, this was the first time Jiang Ye had seen her own light sticks.

They were all the same style, all the same size, spread out in a large area of bright teal, illuminating the entire venue.

Jiang Ye’s fans might not be very lucky, but they still had a large fan base.

Combined with the special shimmering effect of the green lights, they directly created a dazzling effect, overwhelming all the other colorful light sticks in the venue.

Jiang Ye: "..."

She strongly suspected that her fans had brightened the teal light sticks a few more degrees when making them.

But even so, she was still happy.

Perhaps this is what they call the power of love.

At the same time, the platform’s live stream also broadcasted the scene of the light stick battle.

【Damn, this green is going to blind me.】

【Jiang Ye’s fans are so numerous! Top is truly top!】

【Wuwuwu, why did Lin Zui’s fans choose dark blue for their support color? Everyone knows that blue is the most disadvantaged color in a light stick battle, it’s instantly overwhelmed and you can’t even see it.】

【But it’s also because Jiang Ye has a lot of fans, and the seats are random. Other fandoms can’t even form a united front, but hers is great, it’s a sea of green.】

•••

After the trainees finished their initial self-introductions, they were about to perform the first stage.

The host pretended to randomly select a few trainees to play simple games on stage, while the rest went backstage to quickly change clothes and prepare to go on stage.

The order of the stages was pre-arranged.

The first stage was "You Can’t Stop Loving Me", which Jiang Ye had performed during her first performance.

And this was the only stage with the original lineup, all five trainees were present.

Only this time, the fan meeting was held on a temporary stage set up indoors.

There were no stage effects, no scenery, no white smoke to enhance the atmosphere.

Even the spotlights weren’t the ones that changed according to the rhythm of the song.

It felt very different from the performances.

So, Jiang Ye directly changed her original design of entering from the side of the stage.

The five of them would enter and perform a group dance first, then continue with their individual parts, making it more concise and fitting for the fan meeting atmosphere.

The door to the stage opened.

Jiang Ye led her teammates onto the stage.

The background music started playing.

The audience’s screams became even louder.

However, Jiang Ye pressed her ear monitor, feeling a sense of foreboding.

… The sound quality of this sound system doesn’t seem very good.

Because of time constraints, except for the beginning, the choreography and formations of this stage were almost unchanged.

The first to sing was still Cheng Zhen.

But when she sang the first line, Jiang Ye’s heart sank.

The sound quality of this sound system was indeed very poor.

Cheng Zhen was a pretty good vocalist, but her first line was ruined by this garbage microphone.

She tried to adjust her ear monitor, but she continued singing.

Although she didn’t miss a beat, the pitch still sounded a little off.

The audience, who had been excited, went quiet for a second.

The live stream also had a bunch of confused question marks.

【？？？】

【?? Ah? Is Cheng Zhen really this level?】

【Is it the microphone’s problem?】

【So this is the Chasing Light Girls main vocalist, this is her level?】

Cheng Zhen seemed to realize her mistake.

But she couldn’t fix it very well, she could only continue singing, barely finishing her part, then moving to the side.

Jiang Ye also felt it.

This sound system was really not good.

There was static in the microphone, and the ear monitor sound was fluctuating.

If someone didn’t have stage experience, it would be easy to get nervous and mess up.

After Cheng Zhen, it was Yu Chenchen.

She was a dance lead, and her vocals were a little lacking.

Plus, Cheng Zhen hadn’t hit the right pitch from the beginning, and there were so many live cameras around, Yu Chenchen got nervous, and her pitch was even worse than Cheng Zhen’s.

Jiang Ye sighed in her heart.

As expected, the live stream comments were flying even faster.

【？？？】

【Help, this is too much white voice, I feel like I could do it too.】

【I seriously doubt that the performances we heard were all with 800 times the amount of autotune, are these trainees really this level in real life?】

【I also… strongly suspect that Chasing Light Girls has been deceiving our feelings.】

【Help, I can already foresee a disaster, the entire comment section will be full of complaints about this fan meeting.】

【I’m even more afraid that the keywords for the car crash will be trending!】

The audience was getting more and more restless.

More and more people were questioning.

Even the real fans in the audience were starting to feel embarrassed about this performance.

Some of them had been to the performances and knew that this wasn’t their usual level.

But in this situation, they couldn’t help but question their own lives.

After Yu Chenchen, it was Jiang Ye.

Normally, when Jiang Ye appeared, it would be a thunderous roar of cheers.

But the comments now had a crisis of trust.

【Jiang Ye is here!!】

【I’m afraid if Jiang Ye also goes off-key… then my mental image of her will be shattered.】

【I don’t think it’s possible, but I’m starting to panic, please don’t.】

Jiang Ye walked to the center of the stage.

She knew that whether it was the audience in the venue or the viewers watching the live stream, they didn’t have an accurate understanding of the quality of the sound system.

Some people might guess that the ear monitor or microphone was malfunctioning, but most viewers would simply judge your performance as good or bad.

So, she had to be good enough.

Good enough to overshadow the terrible sound system.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath and sang the first line.

In an instant, everyone felt like their ears had been saved.

The static from the garbage microphone was completely overshadowed by her powerful voice.

Not to mention her dance moves, which were still at the same high level as her performance.

Months had passed, and she was still familiar with this stage, the stunning effect was no less than when she first appeared on stage.

The audience, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly erupted again.

Jiang Ye saved a near-car crash stage with her skills, shattering the audience’s doubts and uncertainty about her.

She was still the human enchantress Jiang Ye, who attracted fans with every performance.

The audience cheered wildly for her.

The live stream comments were quickly filled with Jiang Ye’s name.

【Jiang Ye is amazing!!!】

【Damn, damn, damn!! My daughter is so amazing.】

【Our Jiang Ye, the stage queen, is not just a title, okay!】

【Although, the microphone is really a problem, even though our Jiang Ye is so stable, I still heard some static.】

After Jiang Ye, Lin Zui immediately took over.

Lin Zui had a lot of stage experience, she had seen worse ear monitors and microphones, this was nothing, and she quickly stabilized the situation.

With the two of them setting the tone, Cheng Zhen and Yu Chenchen’s state came back a little, and the stage was finally saved.

After the stage ended, the five of them quickly went offstage.

Cheng Zhen didn’t blame the microphone, she just looked very apologetic, "… Did I mess up?"

Yu Chenchen also whispered, "… Don’t say it, I was even worse, I’m sorry to all of you."

"Don’t blame yourselves."

Jiang Ye ran to the dressing room, saying, "The microphone was a big problem, I couldn’t adapt either."

Cheng Zhen didn’t have much experience, and she was the first one to go on stage, it was normal that she couldn’t control it well.

After all, Cheng Zhen wasn’t a professional trainee like them.

During the performances, they had practiced and rehearsed over and over again, so they had already formed a habit with the sound system.

Faced with this unfamiliar sound system and unexpected situation, they couldn’t handle it well.

"But there was also a lack of stage experience, you’ll get better with more practice, you’ll have plenty of opportunities, don’t let one stage get you down."

Jiang Ye patted her shoulder, "Go and rest, don’t forget you have another stage coming up."

•••

The second group of trainees took over.

Jiang Ye hurried back backstage, changed clothes, carefully wiped off her sweat with a towel, and made sure her makeup was still good before going out.

She was going to perform "If I Can" next.

After her, it was Lin Zui performing "Tiny".

These two stages shouldn’t be a problem.

But the most important thing was the last stage, "The Wind by the Sea", Cheng Zhen would be on stage again.

And the dance for that song was always her biggest headache.

When she comforted Cheng Zhen just now, her tone was relaxed, but in reality, she was also a little worried that Cheng Zhen’s mental state wouldn’t be good.

This was a live stream, she didn’t need to think about it to know that if a top trainee had a car crash on live stream, she would be scolded.

But time was tight, she couldn’t worry about that, she could only focus on performing her own stage well.

Jiang Ye had been watching Lin Zui’s performance from the third performance over and over again these past few days, learning from her strengths and modifying some of the stage details.

When her stage performance ended, the comments were all filled with regrets and cries.

【Damn! I regret not voting for Jiang Ye for this song, she’s so perfect for it!】

After Jiang Ye left the stage, it was Lin Zui and Liang Yu’s collaboration on "Tiny".

The comments were full of confusion.

【Wuwuwu, isn’t Jiang Ye performing "Tiny"? I want to see her dance "Tiny" again.】

【Maybe she was too busy running back and forth, too tired, and didn’t have enough time, wuwuwu.】

【Ah, ah, ah, Lin Zui is on stage, I’m okay with that!! I want to see Zui Jie rap!】

When they saw Lin Zui standing in Jiang Ye’s original position, the audience immediately connected it to the previous song, where Jiang Ye had stood in Lin Zui’s position, and they immediately went crazy.

【Can someone tell me, is it some kind of special kink that Lin Zui and Jiang Ye are switching C positions?】

【Damn, I get it, they’re destined to be the double top, it’s amazing, they’re singing each other’s parts, what’s the difference between this and getting married? I don’t see any!】

Of course, Jiang Ye didn’t have time to look at the audience’s feedback at this moment.

She had changed into her third outfit and was ready for the last stage.

Cheng Zhen only had two stages, the beginning and the end.

But the car crash earlier had definitely taken a toll on her mentally.

She had adjusted for a while backstage, and she was even pulled to play a game in between performances, but she still hadn’t recovered.

Cheng Zhen had been sailing smoothly all along.

But now she was really scared.

Afraid of disappointing the people who liked her again.

Afraid that people would blame her parents for her performance.

Afraid that her teammates would be dissatisfied with her.

Before going on stage, Cheng Zhen whispered, "I don’t want to hold you back again."

"Don’t think like that."

Jiang Ye comforted her, "You found your groove again in the second half, so it’s obvious that you just weren’t used to it at the beginning."

She patted Cheng Zhen’s head, "Don’t be afraid, you need this stage to prove yourself."

Cheng Zhen nodded, but her expression still looked a little conflicted.

Tan Meng, who was behind her, expressionlessly flicked her neck.

"Ouch."

Cheng Zhen immediately covered her neck, "What was that for?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Jiang Ye was there before, now I’m here."

Tan Meng didn’t look at her, her gaze was fixed on the stage, "If you really mess up again, I’ll save you this time."

•••

It was time for the "Wind by the Sea" group to go on stage.

Cheng Zhen was still the first one to appear.

The comments were full of fans’ worries.

【Wuwuwu, baby, good luck!】

【Wuwuwu, Zhen Zhen, don’t be afraid, you can do it!】

And many people were looking forward to a car crash.

【Is she going to have another car crash?】

【They’ve been marketing Cheng Zhen as having strong skills and making rapid progress, making her seem like a true “cultivated” idol, but she’s only been cultivated for two months, and she’s already at this level?】

【Can Cheng Muhe and Yang Lin take your daughter home? 2333】

Amidst the constant debate, Cheng Zhen began singing.

She was still not used to the microphone, not used to the ear monitor, not used to the sound quality.

But this song was what her fans had voted for her, she had practiced it countless times, she was confident that she could control it and not disappoint them.

She sang the first line, and Tan Meng and Jiang Ye both breathed a sigh of relief.

Her pitch was perfect, she was performing at the level she had shown during the performances.

Those who had been watching for a car crash instantly disappeared, leaving only the overjoyed fans cheering.

After Cheng Zhen finished, the camera focused on Jiang Ye.

The live camera, unlike the performance, didn’t have layers of filters.

But Jiang Ye was wearing a short skirt that didn’t reach her knees, a beret, her slightly curly pink hair naturally hung down her side, and there were sparkling stars around her eyes, it was so sweet that it made people’s hearts flutter.

Since the mentor collaboration stage performance hadn’t aired yet, many people were seeing Jiang Ye’s pink hair for the first time.

【Wuwuwu, oh my god, so cute!!】

【I have to say, Jiang Mei looks so good today, ah, wuwuwu!!】

【Wuwuwu, pink hair is so amazing, it suits my daughter so well!!!】

Jiang Ye smiled brightly at the camera and started singing her part.

She had chosen this song because she felt like she hadn’t tried a cute style yet.

Before, there were many trainees who were going for a sweet girl style, so she thought she should not clash with them.

But this time was different.

It was a fan meeting, she had to give her fans more surprises.

After Jiang Ye finished her part, before turning to the side, she tapped her finger on her heart.

Then, she stepped to the beat, drew back her bow, strung the arrow, and shot.

Swoosh——!

As if Cupid’s arrow had been launched!

I am giving you my heart, catch it.

Jiang Ye winked at the camera and turned to the side.

The audience in the venue, the live stream comments, and the forum’s live broadcast thread all exploded at the same time.
