After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 20: Dual Personality?

Amidst the voices of "Encore" from the audience, Jiang Lingxi gracefully took her bow and returned backstage unhurriedly.

As Zhao Hengsheng rushed onto the stage with a microphone, he gave her a disappointed glance.

Since the elderly and children in the audience enjoyed it so much, why not stay a little longer? Such a great opportunity, and she doesn't know how to seize it!

Jiang Lingxi was not unaware that staying a bit longer on stage would get her more screen ti, but there was a harsh reality—her physical stamina was nearing its limit.

Even the previous performance was sustained largely due to the use of various techniques.

Otherwise, simply relying on her own endurance, lasting even a minute would have been good.

"That was amazing!"

She Man, watching Jiang Lingxi return, didn't hold back her praise.

Just now, even when Jiang Kaiyuan and Lin Xuefei got a tepid audience response for their performance, she still praised them.

One must not be partial.

However, this ti her complint was noticeably more genuine than before.

She truly thought Jiang Lingxi's performance was impressive and bold.

Lin Xuefei noticed this, maintained a smile while silently gritting her teeth.

Jiang Kaiyuan, the most straightforward one, didn't notice any difference between the two praises. He gave Jiang Lingxi a thumbs up, then diligently took over the Flower Spear.

"I'll return this to its owner for you."

And perhaps sneak a few moves with it.

Jiang Lingxi didn't feel like moving at the mont and waved her hand signaling him to do as he pleased.

Lin Xuefei looked at Jiang Kaiyuan, gleefully holding the Flower Spear like a fool, and couldn't bear to watch.

With Jiang Lingxi's recent performance, who would rember their earlier dance routine?

Turns out she's the only one who cares!

Sensitively noticing Jiang Lingxi's not-so-good complexion, Xu Yin instinctively reached out to support her, "Are you feeling unwell sowhere?"

"Just a bit exhausted, but thank you for your concern, Teacher Xu."

"Then sit down and rest well, I'm about to go on stage."

Initially intending to ask how to perform a beautiful gun twirl, Jiang Kaiyuan paused quietly upon hearing this.

Lin Xuefei pretended to casually glance over, internally thinking: Serves you right for showing off!

Lu Zhengzheng, observing all this off-cara, felt worried and anxious. Earlier, she was so thrilled and excited by her artist's performance on stage, but now she's just as concerned.

But since the recording wasn't over yet, she hesitated to give Xixi a water bottle for fear of inadvertently entering the cara fra and irking other guests.

Don't think she didn't notice, that Lin Xuefei just couldn't stand her Xixi sister.

She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Give it to ."

eting the gaze of She Man, Lu Zhengzheng gratefully handed over the water bottle, "Thank you, Teacher She, thank you so much."

"You're welco."

She Man nodded with a smile; just because Jiang Lingxi was the only one today to recognize her character as ng Junran, she was happy to help and take the chance to show her attentiveness on cara.

After sipping the honey-sweet warm water, Jiang Lingxi let out a light breath, raised her hand, and gestured an 'OK' to Lu Zhengzheng while resting and listening to the singing from the stage ahead.

She didn't really understand the lyrics, yet couldn't deny it was quite pleasant.

As the applause began, Xu Yin took her bow and returned backstage. After receiving everyone's praise, she waved her hand with a smile, "I hadn't sung this old song in ages. Luckily, I didn't forget the lyrics just now."

Lin Xuefei quickly chid in with a complint, "When Teacher Xu sings, it's always a classic. I was so enchanted listening to it just now," she finished, glancing at Jiang Lingxi who was leaning against the dressing table with her eyes closed.

Soone else had dozed off.

A clear contrast indeed.

Pity that Xu Yin chose to ignore her nudges, rely waving a hand, "If you flatter more, my ego might float away." Then she glanced at Jiang Lingxi, who had opened her eyes to look at her, "How's your rest, Xiao Xi, feeling better?"

Although Jiang Lingxi had her eyes closed to rest, there was no way she could truly fall asleep in such a setting.

Lin Xuefei's little sches were transparent to her, yet she couldn't even bother to engage.

"Much better, listening to Teacher Xu's song dispelled a lot of my fatigue."

"Ha ha, seems my song's pretty useful after all."

"Lovely singing always heals the soul, more so when it's Teacher Xu's live vocals."

For the first ti, Xu Yin found Jiang Lingxi's words made her genuinely happy, prompting several chuckles in a brief span.

Watching Lin Xuefei on the sidelines getting no chance to speak: "..."

She looked at Jiang Lingxi with astonishnt and uncertainty.

Just a few days ago, she hardly spoke, and Lin Xuefei thought she might adopt a silent deanor permanently. When did she beco so eloquent!

Among their group of guests, while She Man was the most revered, Xu Yin was actually the least approachable.

Living up to her na, Xu Yin had dominated the music scene with her incredible voice. Though her fa had waned in recent years due to fewer works, she remained a revered veteran in the industry.

Despite Lin Xuefei's attempts to flatter her for so long, she had never seen Xu Yin smile at her so warmly.

Yet when she glanced over, she unexpectedly locked eyes with Jiang Lingxi.

Those eyes, calm yet naturally carrying a cold sternness, Lin Xuefei kept telling herself not to look scared, but in the next mont, she couldn't help but embarrassingly look away.

Jiang Lingxi, she's truly sothing!

It wasn't until the Huangi opera's lodious tune began that Lin Xuefei snapped back from her frustration, silently reciting the words Huang Ge told her earlier.

She couldn't keep letting Jiang Lingxi influence her!

Fortunately, this episode's recording was nearing completion, and thinking that brought a little relief to her heart.

Seeing Lin Xuefei look away first, Jiang Lingxi confird once again that there was no need to consider her a priority or even worthy enough to be on her internal blacklist.

She Man's concluding performance also received endless applause.

Jiang Lingxi hadn't heard Huangi opera for quite so ti and quietly listened to the entire segnt, sparing not a thought for Lin Xuefei, still sulking alone.

When She Man took her bow, all the perforrs returned to the stage with Director Zhao to thank the local folks for their warm hospitality during the days.

Backstage, Jiang Lingxi and She Man still needed to remove makeup and change clothes, but with the caras off, Lu Zhengzheng eagerly ran over to help.

"Xixi, let take so photos before you change."

Jiang Lingxi had to comply, taking poses while Lu Zhengzheng snapped away.

"I thought you said just two shots?"

"Taking more, so we can pick the two best ones later."

"...Alright then!"

She Man sat at the dressing table, having her headpiece removed by the Tan Family Clan team. Watching Jiang Lingxi tiredly yet cooperating with her little assistant for the photos in the mirror, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

She recalled once before Jiang Lingxi's incident when this little assistant accidentally broke sothing. After that day's recording, Jiang Lingxi angrily scolded her and even made her cry.

Now seeing this scene, gave her a magical feeling.

As she watched, a thought unexpectedly flashed through her mind: Might Jiang Lingxi have a dual personality? Did she co back with a different one after her incident?
