After gender swapping, my best friend and I hardcore BL (Boys' Love) became top influencers.

Xiang Wanwan and Dai Xiaoqing waited patiently every night for the second round of performances to go live.

Last time, because the recording time of the second performance conflicted with her own private schedule, Dai Xiaoqing went to the performance venue by herself.

But what's really strange is that Dai Xiaoqing has been stammering ever since she came back.

When Xiang Wanwan asked her about the live performance and whether Ling Tinglan's stage performance had improved, Dai Xiaoqing shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly.

Or she'll put on a shameless face, stare with innocent-looking big eyes, and blink and tell you that she accidentally lost her memory?!

Xiang Wanwan was stunned. "Sister, tell me, isn't this outrageous?"

Although Dai Xiaoqing remained silent about it, all her efforts were in vain.

There's no way to hide it, because Xiang Wanwan herself is the head of the fan club. Even if she doesn't go, the other members of the fan club will.

Therefore, she is always able to know any firsthand information immediately.

In fact, their group chat exploded the night after the second public performance.

The girls who went to the event that day immediately started sending long voice messages in the group chat as soon as they got their phones.

One message after another, he spent most of his time cursing Jiao Wangshu, and occasionally, when he got really angry, he would also curse Ling Tinglan.

And this wasn't the only one who went mad.

Xiang Wanwan touched her hot phone, which was constantly buzzing with new messages. She finally managed to listen to their long, 60-second voice messages and piece together the truth behind what had caused the fans to collectively break down that night from their emotional outpouring.

Simply put, Ling Tinglan has gone mad.

Not only did he have a sudden outburst of lust and become incredibly audacious (?), but he also allegedly confessed his feelings on stage, openly provoking both his own fans and those of rival fans.

Any one of these incidents, taken individually, would be enough to warrant a death sentence.

Hearing this, Xiang Wanwan felt her vision go black again and again.

What are all these things?

She glared at Dai Xiaoqing with a death stare; no wonder that brat didn't dare tell her anything this time.

So after all this time, you really got to enjoy it, right?

Dai Xiaoqing whistled, looking at the sky and the ground, but dared not look into Xiang Wanwan's eyes as she leaned in.

She is truly beautiful.

If she hadn't really wanted to avoid being too cruel, she would have actually run out and carried several large boxes of fireworks to set off all at once to celebrate and boost the family fortune.

However, for the sake of her sisters' physical and mental health, Dai Xiaoqing felt that it was best not to be so smug.

Xiang Wanwan wasn't there to witness it firsthand, and since it was all based on other people's accounts, she hadn't even seen a single photo due to the show's confidentiality measures.

So even though she's angry now, she's actually in a pretty good mood?

She even had the leisure to comfort fellow fans who were breaking down, while simultaneously maintaining stability within the fandom through rational statements.

It has to be said that, in a way, this is also a kind of luck.

But at the same time, Xiang Wanwan was also really curious—

Is this stage really as nerve-wracking as they say?

She was actually more curious than ever about the second public performance stage.

So Xiang Wanwan timed it perfectly and insisted on dragging Dai Xiaoqing to watch it with her.

The program went live on time.

As usual, skip the opening credits and that long string of fancy words.

Finally, the first face appeared.

An unknown trainee I barely remember.

Then came long, drawn-out, and tedious practice room routines.

What? He wants to be C? What? They had another fight? What? So-and-so and so-and-so made up?

Xiang Wanwan couldn't help but complain, "This lousy show is almost three hours long per episode, how come they still can't get to the point?"

"Even if you only show their faces in one episode, you still won't attract fans with just these few materials."

After saying that, she used a time-jumping technique to jump directly to the stage.

The official stage footage was released in a slightly different order than the recording.

"Xiao Feng Mang" was placed before "The King," and thanks to the atmosphere generated by "The King" beforehand, the atmosphere created by the stage was even better.

This is also a clever idea from the production team; they're really putting in a lot of effort to promote the contestants.

Next up is "Weightless".

Before they could even take a second look, Xiang Wanwan and Dai Xiaoqing saw a screen full of pixelated images.

It's not that it runs all over the screen, but basically every time Jiao Wangshu appears in the shot, the mosaic appears once.

Even the comments section was filled with complaints. Although the mosaic was used as much as possible to avoid obscuring faces, it still greatly affected the viewing experience.

What is it that their esteemed members can't see?

Xiang Wanwan pointed at the pile of mosaics and asked curiously, "What kind of inappropriate clothing is he wearing?"

"The mosaic has been beaten up like this; anyone who didn't know better would think that Jiao Wangshu was wearing a mosaic."

Dai Xiaoqing pursed her lips, remaining as quiet as a quail.

It's definitely not suitable for children. If it weren't censored, what would happen if some tall kid, about 1.89 meters, saw it?

But even if she were beaten to death, Dai Xiaoqing would never dare to say this in front of Xiang Wanwan.

She could only laugh it off, "Maybe..."

Xiang Wanwan didn't take it to heart and continued reading.

After "Breaking Boundaries with the Fruit Core", she finally got her chance to perform on Ling Tinglan's stage.

Xiang Wanwan's viewing of Ling Tinglan was practically filtered through a filter; she would comment on almost every line he sang.

"I think my husband might actually become a top singer!"

"How can her voice be so beautiful, and her pronunciation so precise..."

A whole bunch of complimenters have come online.

In fact, Dai Xiaoqing, who was listening from the side, didn't dare to say anything. Ling Tinglan sang really well this time, and her progress was very significant, especially in the emotional expression of the song, which was particularly sincere.

But putting aside the fan bias, everyone in this group has a great vocal range.

He has been learning these things since he was a child and has received professional training. How could he catch up with them in two weeks with zero foundation?

Ling Tinglan's performance was good, but not exceptional. Moreover, his appearance and voice were a huge advantage.

As the saying goes, a cold face and little talk make you seem smart.

This also makes perfect sense when applied to Ling Tinglan. Once you become a modeling monster, even if you're just spacing out, people will say it's because your melancholy world is raining.

Dai Xiaoqing silently complained, then heard Xiang Wanwan exclaim in admiration, "This makeup artist is truly amazing."

"That faint red mark on Ling Tinglan's face is the perfect finishing touch! It perfectly conveys his vulnerability!"

Red marks? What red marks? Where are the red marks?

Upon hearing her words, Dai Xiaoqing also fixed her gaze on Ling Tinglan's face.

On his right cheek, just a little bit next to his nose, there really was a faint red mark—

Huh? That's strange. Did she see it at the scene? And it wasn't on anyone else's face either, was it?

Suddenly, Dai Xiaoqing had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.

This location, this color, this red mark... Could this be the blood from his nose that he didn't have time to wipe away?!

Upon discovering the truth, Dai Xiaoqing immediately covered her mouth.

Keep your mouth shut!

Under Xiang Wanwan's questioning gaze, she was holding back tears, but dared not laugh, because she knew...

Xiang Wanwan will definitely kill her when she finds out the truth!

Meanwhile, the trainees' second ranking announcement is being recorded.
