Chapter 57 The Young Lady Breaks Down
Chung You-yi was stunned for half a minute before she finally came to her senses. She forced herself to remain calm, pretending that nothing had happened, and sat back down in front of the camera.
That half minute felt like an eternity to the viewers in the live stream.
Chung You-yi stood frozen beside the piano, one hand still suspended above the keys, while the other hand frantically tried to pry the crystal nail plate stuck in the gap between the keys, but her fingertips were painfully poked by the tiny nail plate.
The arrogance and smugness on her face had long since vanished, leaving only visible panic and embarrassment.
The camera in the live stream was still relentlessly focused on her, clearly showing the audience her reddened ears, slightly trembling fingertips, and the Steinway piano that had been "ravaged by manicures."
The comments section was already bursting with laughter, flooding the screen.
Considering that it was posted in Shu Hua's live stream, Miss Zhong wouldn't be able to see it.
They even thoughtfully came to Miss Zhong's live stream as a group.
[Help! I could laugh for a year from that half-minute! Sister Zhong's facial expression control has completely failed!]
[The nail plate: My life has been worthwhile! I can't believe I managed to get it stuck inside the Steinway piano keys!]
[I suggest Chung Jie debut right now! With this hilarious and embarrassing moment, she'll definitely become a breakout star!]
Zhong Youyi quickly glanced at the comments, which were filled with laughter, making her realize just how pathetic she was.
She took several deep breaths before she could barely suppress the panic in her heart.
She calmly withdrew her hand from the piano keys, and even straightened her skirt, trying to create the illusion that "I just accidentally touched the piano."
Then, maintaining that forced composure, she slowly walked back to the chair in front of the camera and sat down.
The moment she sat down, she deliberately straightened her back, raised her chin, and even forced a stiff smile at the camera.
It was as if the terrifying "armor plate stuck on piano keys" incident had never happened at all.
Unfortunately, her slightly reddened eyes and the panicked look in her eyes that she couldn't hide had already given away her disguise completely.
Shu Hua nestled in the beanbag chair, propping her chin up with one hand, watching with great interest Zhong Youyi's "pretending to be calm" act in front of the camera, her smile never fading.
Actually, the rules for this competition were agreed upon from the beginning—one in front and four behind.
The so-called "first minute before and fourth minute after" refers to the first minute after the start of the PK, which is the sprint time for both sides.
There is a 5-minute interim period in the middle, during which the winner of the previous minute designates the loser to perform some simple punishment.
You can continue campaigning during the session, which can be considered an interactive time.
The next four minutes were for another round of campaigning.
In total, it makes up the agreed-upon ten-minute leaderboard battle.
But who would have thought that Zhong Youyi would insist on performing the piano during the competition, playing Liszt's "Zhong" for more than three minutes.
In these three minutes, not to mention the first and fourth players, even a little over half of the entire PK time has passed.
If Miss Chung were to play a seven- or eight-minute piece, there would be no punishment or anything like that.
After Chung You-yi hurriedly finished dealing with the nail art and sat back in front of the camera, she realized that almost half of the PK process had already passed.
Logically speaking, Shu Hua, as the other party in this competition, should have reminded Zhong Youyi, since it involves the interests of both parties.
But Shu Hua refuses to.
She watched as Chung Yau-Yi played that ear-piercing piano piece in front of the camera, watched her shake her head until her hair was a mess, and watched her crystal nail polish get stuck in the piano keys. She almost burst out laughing.
This kind of pleasure is much more interesting than any form of physical punishment during the process.
Shu Hua even felt that she had laughed more in those few minutes than she had exercised in the past week, and her abs were almost popping out from laughing.
Daddy will never have to worry about exercise again.
Watch more of Miss Zhong's performances, and you'll easily have abs and a defined waistline.
Chung You-yi, who had managed to keep her expression under control, completely lost it the moment she saw the PK results.
She jumped up from her chair, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at the vote count on the screen. Her voice shrill with excitement: "What happened? I actually lost?"
She had just realized that there was also a process of punishment.
They were already thinking about how to embarrass Shu Hua as well.
And now we're telling her she actually lost?
In other words, she didn't just lose face just now.
Next, there will be further punishment, and more humiliation.
How could the proud Miss Zhong accept this?
Looking at her like this, Shu Hua couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, then slowly nodded with an "I understand you" expression, and echoed, "Yes, yes."
She paused, then deliberately dragged out her words, saying slowly, "According to the rules, it should have been Miss Zhong who was to be punished."
However, considering how hard you worked playing the piano just now, with head-shaking and showing off your skills.
I will take pity on you and not punish you.
Shu Hua's voice was soft and gentle, but the sarcasm in her words was so strong it was impossible to ignore.
Anyone could tell that she was mocking Zhong Youyi's terrible piano performance.
As expected, Zhong Youyi's face turned ashen instantly after hearing Shu Hua's words.
Having already lost face because of her piano performance, Zhong Youyi was now being openly mocked by Shu Hua. How could she possibly hold back?
She immediately lost her temper, pointing at Shu Hua on the screen and yelling angrily, "You cheated!"
The sound was so sharp it seemed to pierce eardrums, causing viewers in the live stream to frown.
Hearing this, Shu Hua wasn't angry at all. Instead, she put away her smile and put on a faint expression.
Looking at Zhong Youyi, who was trembling with anger on the screen, she asked curiously, "Oh~ Miss Zhong said I cheated?"
She tilted her head, her tone utterly innocent: "Then, may I ask, how did I cheat?"
Before Zhong Youyi could answer, Shu Hua continued speaking to herself:
"Just to clarify, this platform, Yin Fu, is not owned by my family."
I don't have the ability to manipulate the platform's scores.
After all, this is all real money.
I'm a law-abiding citizen, you know.
She paused, then, as if remembering something, added:
"If Miss Zhong is really sure I cheated, then you can probably report me on the platform?"
However, I'm not entirely clear on the reporting process either.
Shu Hua shrugged, a blank expression on her face:
"I've only been on the music platform for a short time, and I haven't heard of any streamer cheating in PvP battles."
So, I don't know what to do.
"I'm so sorry, Miss Zhong."
As she spoke, she deliberately gave an expression that said, "I really want to help you, but I'm powerless to do so."
"I want to help you, but it seems like I really can't."
Shu Hua's words, one after another, left Zhong Youyi speechless.
Not content with that, Ke Shuhua added, "Oh right, I forgot to mention, my account level isn't high enough, I can't even enable forced PK."
She looked at Zhong Youyi, whose face was getting increasingly pale in the camera lens, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Looking at it this way, I'm really not as good as you."
You can force PvP battles, and you can play the piano and show off your wealth during PvP battles, but I can't do anything about it.
Shu Hua tilted her head slightly, her tone tinged with a hint of mockery:
"So, you're right to suspect me of cheating."
For your own good, you should report it right away. I promise I won't run away.
Shu Hua's words were impeccable, refuting Zhong Youyi's accusations while also subtly mocking her—it was a truly devastating blow.
[Hahaha, is Hua Bao's mouth insured? I suggest Miss Zhong bring a legal team next time she comes to argue!]
[Hilarious! They come to challenge us without even doing any investigation? Our top fan of Huazai is worth the entire Avengers! (lighting a cigarette.jpg)]
[Breaking News! Chung Family Piano Applies for Work Injury Claim Overnight—Being Stabbed by Nail Art Pieces is Far Worse Than Being Tuned Off-Key by a Painted Kid!]
[Young Miss: I brought 214 black diamonds! Shu Hua: Oh, my little butler hasn't pressed the power button yet (picking nose)]
[One more memorable scene of breaking through defenses! We suggest forming a "Victim Alliance of Extortionists" with Bamboo Shadows Dancing in the Breeze]
Just as the comment section was filled with jubilation, a different comment suddenly appeared.
[I think Miss Zhong just said it casually and unconsciously. The anchor doesn't need to be so harsh, does she?]
This comment immediately drew numerous rebuttals from fans.
[To casually accuse someone of cheating—isn't that questioning their character? And they don't even respond? Are they just waiting to have their character slandered?]
You got great results on the college entrance exam, but someone immediately accused you of cheating. How would you feel?
Not everything can be said casually!
[Some of you sanctimonious commenters, tone it down! They're already attacking us so aggressively, and we can't even argue back? Do you think our little kitten doesn't have claws?]
[Your Majesty's retort was well-deserved! But next time, wear the battle robe that General He gave you; dazzle them with your haute couture gown. After all, aren't we all pampered young ladies?]
Some people even started making fun of Chung Yau-Yi's piano performance.
Actually... the note Miss Zhong played wrong was quite artistic?
[Tactical Analysis: Miss Zhong's move was—Flashing into the tower to feed the enemy, and then cursing the tower for being too tough (hands shrug)]
As Shu Hua read the arguments in the comments, her smile grew even wider.
Her fans in the comments section are truly talented.
As for those who say she's too harsh, they simply ignore them.
The fact that this young lady inexplicably forced her into a PK battle had already made her unhappy.
Although she accepted the challenge, it doesn't mean she was happy.
I just feel that I don't want to challenge the platform's rules within my acceptable range.
Daddy is really busy, and she doesn't want to bother her with such a small matter.
It's acceptable, but that doesn't mean she should accept it happily.
Moreover, words spoken unintentionally are sometimes the most truthful.
Shu Hua could naturally tell that the other party had broken down and said those words impulsively.
This also indirectly proves that this young lady doesn't think much of her.
He was belittling her from the bottom of his heart.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have immediately made such questionable remarks about cheating.
Perhaps in the young lady's eyes, she's just a streamer who'll stop at nothing to climb the social ladder.
That's why the export is like this.
She had encountered people who thought they were sure to win but ended up losing, which broke their spirits.
But those people never said that.
The young lady's character and integrity are on full display.
Why should she save face for others?
He Peiji listened to the little streamer's witty comebacks and finally understood why Duan Jiyu said there was no need to worry.
Although he had been blocked by the small streamer, his tone at the time was indeed somewhat disrespectful.
So, he did see the junior streamer reach out.
But I also feel that this is all there is to it.
They don't argue with people, they just silently block them.
I was reminded of how well-behaved the young anchor was during our long afternoon together.
He Peiji genuinely felt that the small-time streamer would be bullied, and he was already prepared to contact the Zhong family.
Surprisingly, the young anchorwoman was quite eloquent.
It seems that online streamers are really letting loose a bit.
Suddenly I really feel like I'm going to fight Uncle Huo for my daughter. What should I do?
Although he is only a few years older than the junior anchor.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the camera, Chung Yau-yi was looking at the comments on the screen.
Looking at Shu Hua's nonchalant expression, I was so angry that I was trembling all over, and tears were about to fall.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that she couldn't find any words to refute it.
She knew, of course, that Shu Hua hadn't cheated; she just subconsciously felt that the streamer couldn't possibly beat her.
Moreover, he's already a streamer and even met with a powerful figure offline; what kind of respectable person could he be?
Just as Shu Hua thought, Miss Zhong looked down on her deep down.
Miss Zhong fell silent, and the live stream instantly went quiet.
Looking at the young lady who was so proud just a few minutes ago, now she looked so aggrieved.
Shu Hua was a little uncomfortable. Mainly, what was this young lady feeling wronged about?
Did you feel wronged and lose?
The competition isn't over yet! If Miss doesn't want to lose, she should campaign for votes.
Even more, you can use a secondary account to rank up yourself.
Anyway, the young lady must have a lot of pocket money.
If they can afford such an extravagant piano, then Shu Hua can be certified.
This young lady isn't just a persona; she's a real young lady from a wealthy family.
Shu Hua didn't understand, but she was tired from laughing just now, so it would be good for her to rest for a while.
"Young Master Duan, Young Master He, this PK is now in your hands."
Be careful, don't let someone steal your tower.
I'm tired of laughing, I need to rest for a bit.
Life is but a dream: Don't worry~
[Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes: We won't lose.]
Because she hadn't muted her microphone, Miss Zhong also heard Shu Hua's words.
Upon hearing Duan Shao's name, he suddenly looked up at Shu Hua.
A flicker of jealousy crossed her eyes. How could she call Duan Shao so naturally and intimately? Why?
And what did she just say?
So, it was Duan Shao who was hitting her?
