Chapter 187: 55. Everyone’s Darkest Hour_4

"How did you manage to put the earpiece here, this is backstage no outsiders should enter."

"Don’t worry about that, just put on the earpiece that connects to the phone, it might relieve the tension."

Then came an emoji of a cat shaking its hand and shouting "Go for it."

Bai Yi pursed her lips, looking at the emoji, typing to reply something.

But in the end, nothing came out.

She eventually smiled helplessly, picking up Yan Huan’s earpiece.

Upon inspection, it’s just a generic Bluetooth earpiece worth less than a hundred.

Really, if it’s for noise reduction to ease the tension, isn’t it better to use her own?

However...

Thank you for your thoughtfulness, President Yan.

Bai Yi touched her chest and placed her extremely small, very discreet Bluetooth earpiece into her left ear.

"Bluetooth connected~"

Suddenly, the surrounding noise seemed to be halved in an instant.

Bai Yi, clutching her chest, finally took a deep breath of relief.

However, it would have been even better if she could wear the other one...

Or rather, to have the surroundings forever this quiet would be nice.

Of course, that is just wishful thinking, Bai Yi smiled helplessly, wanting to reply to Yan Huan with a "Thank you."

But on stage, the host’s voice was already coming through,

"Next up, please welcome the most popular new generation idol from Lin Gate!!

"Miss Bai Yi!!"

The curtain behind her was lifted, and a staff member’s voice came through,

"Miss Bai Yi, you can go on stage now!"

"Okay."

Upon hearing that, Bai Yi quickly pocketed her phone.

Then, she adjusted her posture and walked up the stairs.

"Buzz!!"

The dazzling spotlight suddenly converged on her, allowing Bai Yi, emerging from the darkness, a moment to adjust her eyes.

Then, upon opening her eyes again, what she saw was the dense crowd below the stage.

Beside her, the smiling host looked at her, stepping aside slightly to avoid blocking the audience’s view.

"Ha...ha..."

Countless eyes from below swept over in an instant, especially those in the front row.

Jiang Xiong, dressed in a suit, had just sat down and smiled and waved at Bai Yi on stage.

Next to her was her mother, whose face was powdered.

Zuo Jiangqin.

Her scrutinizing gaze fell on Bai Yi, a merciless up-and-down look, and then her brows furrowed slightly.

Then, she slightly pursed her lips,

"Tch..."

Seeing her mother’s action, Bai Yi’s heart, recently calmed by Yan Huan’s comfort, began to speed up again, each throb bringing a piercing pain.

Why...

Why keep looking at oneself with such disappointment?

She’s been doing everything just as you arranged.

But if there’s even a small part against your wishes, then this is how you look at her.

In front of Yan Huan it was the same, making her so embarrassed...

Now too, still so dissatisfied...

Is it because of the clothes she’s wearing?

Is it because she didn’t change into another set as mother suggested, so her mother showed such an expression?

But...

Am I not your daughter?

Why do you keep treating me this way?

Why?

With her mother’s gaze upon her, Bai Yi just couldn’t comprehend.

She struggled to move her gaze from her mother’s frowning face to other members of the audience...

But the next second, what caught her eye was the entire venue filled with densely packed "Zuo Jiangqins" with the same expression.

Bai Yi’s pupils narrowed slightly, and when she looked down, her brain exploded with a sharp ringing.

"Buzz!!"

Mother in a suit, mother in a cosplay outfit, mother in a dress...

All of them frowned, looked at her with that gaze, negating her, as if pushing her into the ground...

"Ha..."

Bai Yi stood blankly on the spot, not daring to move.

"Miss Bai Yi, hello, welcome to our annual Lin Gate game exhibition."

Next to her, the host’s voice came through, handing her a microphone, seemingly for Bai Yi.

Bai Yi’s eyes trembled slightly, looking at the host beside her.

What she saw was Zuo Jiangqin frowning, handing a dagger close to her throat.

"Mom..."

Her pale little face muttered.

This wasn’t picked up by the microphone, but the host heard it.

Being very experienced, she knew her microphone was still on, so she did not speak but merely showed a puzzled expression to Bai Yi.

The more Bai Yi feared her mother’s denial and scrutiny, the more stunned she looked on her face.

The more she was stunned, the more the hosts around her and the audience below would notice something amiss...

And the more she slipped up, the worse the real Zuo Jiangqin’s expression below became.

Therefore, in the increasingly trembling eyes of Bai Yi, the "mother’s" smile in front of her became more and more hideous.

Like an abyssal black hole, forcing her towards her demise.

No...

Don’t...

Don’t do this...

Someone save me... anyone will do...

"Ding ding...drip drip..."

"Ding ding...drip drip..."

At this moment, as if responding to a call, the imaginary pocket watch inside Bai Yi’s chest suddenly began to spin out of control.

It was the hour hand, beginning to rotate.

"Click click click click!"

Under the turning of that hour hand, everything around her suddenly became intermittent, like a tape jamming, slowing down "Zuo Jiangqin" handing the dagger closer.

Right...

That’s it...

Don’t come any closer to me, don’t negate me anymore...

Please, mom...

I’m begging you...

"Ding ding ding!!"

Right when Bai Yi’s mind was blank, her left ear suddenly rang with a bell sound as profound as a church bell.

She was slightly taken aback, then realized she was still wearing a Bluetooth earpiece.

Bai Yi regained some consciousness, thus able to hear the voice inside the earpiece,

"Plane is calling, tap the earpiece to answer."

"Caller ID: Yan Huan."

"Would you like to answer?"
