Chapter 119: Red Dress Gold Mask!!

Translator: Lordbluefire

When Bai Shanshan received the acupuncture treatment yesterday, she actually felt very uncomfortable.

However, she held it in and didn’t say anything. After it was done, she felt very tired. This was why she was able to get a good night’s sleep despite so many things having taken place during the day.

Even so, she had never expected that after one night of sleep, with a few trips to the toilet in the middle, then another trip to the toilet in the morning, she had lost so much weight when she got on the scale!

Five kilograms!

She had lost five kilograms in a day!

In addition to how she had been losing weight daily in the previous few days, hadn’t been eating nor sleeping well, and hadn’t really eaten much food, she had lost 15 kilograms in total!!

This was the first time in a while that her weight was around 85 kilograms…

What she didn’t know was that this was caused by hormones. It wasn’t her actual weight. If Shen Ruojing had applied acupuncture for her right from the beginning, she’d probably have lost weight even faster.

However, Shen Ruojing intentionally controlled Bai Shanshan’s weight loss. It wasn’t good for Bai Shanshan’s body if she were to slim down too fast.

The initial stage was mostly to remove the water retention. With a single glance, she looked like she had changed a lot too!

Her face was smaller than it was yesterday, and her eyes weren’t swollen anymore. At the very least, people could now see her features.

Everyone’s first impression after seeing her was that she had lost a lot of weight!

Chu Cimo was stunned too.

He couldn’t imagine how a person could change so much after just a night of sleep.

Now, he could vaguely see the shadow of the most beautiful girl in the school from back then.

The few gossiping older ladies quickly spoke up as well.

“Oh my, the daughter from Old Bai’s family has lost weight! We can really tell that you have slimmed down this time around!”

“You look really good after you’ve lost weight!”

The few of them quickly changed their words.

Chu Cimo looked at the older lady who was speaking earlier. “Lady, what’s your surname? You’ll have to write it upside down now, right?”

The older lady put her hands on her waist. “My surname is Tian*!”

“Hahahaha!”

The others all laughed.

These older ladies just liked to gossip and didn’t have any malicious intent. Over the years, they had also been helping to take care of Bai Shanshan’s mother, so she didn’t hold it against them. Today, she still had to go for another acupuncture treatment.

In a certain private villa in Sea City’s suburbs.

At this moment, Yan Zijing was looking at the man in front of her, feeling terrified.

She was wearing a red dress and a phoenix mask, sporting a similar look to what she wore on [Masked Singers].

Dugu Xiao had just taken a shower and was drying his hair with a towel. He took a glance at her with his deep eyes and then asked in a deep voice, “Did you have a good sleep last night?”

Yan Zijing trembled as she replied, “I, I…”

“Say that it was alright.” Dugu Xiao ordered.

Yan Zijing. “… It was alright.”

Dugu Xiao sat down on the sofa and squinted his eyes. “Speak in a lower pitch and colder voice.”

Yan Zijing didn’t dare to resist and tried hard to do as he asked. “It was alright.”

“Very good.” Dugu Xiao sat opposite her. “Call me 517.”

Yan Zijing was stunned. “517.”

“That’s not right. When you say 7, raise your tone slightly and add a hint of arrogance.” Dugu Xiao’s voice was very low.

“517.”

Although Yan Zijing had Bai Shanshan sing for her all this while, she liked music and still knew how to control her voice.

When Dugu Xiao heard her say this, his expression froze. The bossy guy suddenly smiled. “518, I’m here.”

Yan Zijing was stunned.

Dugu Xiao stood up, becoming a lot gentler. He then let out a soft laugh. “What would you like for breakfast?”

Yan Zijing was very smart and replied based on his earlier requirements, “I want to eat shumai*.”

“Alright.”

Dugu Xiao waved his hand and one of his subordinates went to buy some shumai.

During their meal, Dugu Xiao scooped a bowl of porridge for her personally.

Yan Zijing’s gaze flickered and she suddenly spoke in an arrogant tone, “517, bring the side dish closer to me.”

Dugu Xiao was very satisfied and the smile on his face looked even brighter than before. His voice also sounded a lot gentler. “Alright…”

Yan Zijing felt that she had grabbed onto his weakness.

After they were done eating, she suddenly got nearer to Dugu Xiao. “517, there’s someone I hate. Can you help me deal with her?”

Dugu Xiao’s smile beamed even more. “Who is it?”

“White Feather! I want you to find her and make it impossible for her to continue in the entertainment industry!”

Dugu Xiao’s voice continued to sound very gentle. “Alright.”

He then reached out his hand and stroked the mask on Yan Zijing’s face. “If I were to kill her, would you not be angry anymore?”

Yan Zijing was stumped.

She seemed to have heard a hint of pleading in his words.

–

Two days had passed since the last recording for [Masked Singers]. Hence, today was the day they were filming the fourth episode.

The commotion of Yan Zijing’s fake singing slowly died off after two days.

However, someone seemed to be leading the flow of the discussions online, and the complaints about White Feather grew even more. It even gradually surpassed the popularity of Yan Zijing’s fake singing.

Shen Ruojing had critiqued too many singers on this show, but the comments were pretty normal. There were some things Yang Zhiqin said that were a lot more straightforward.

However, Yang Zhiqin was a renowned heavenly queen. Her status in the entertainment circle was very stable.

As a result, Shen Ruojing became the target of the fans’ complaints when their idols were eliminated or told that they didn’t sing well.

Even though the celebrities had privately gotten their assistants to contact their respective fan clubs not to target White Feather, it was useless.

The internet was too impetuous.

At the same time, Dugu Xiao brought Yan Zijing to the hall.

He doted on Yan Zijing as if she was a princess. He asked for a row of seats and then let her take a seat. He had his head lowered, and his brown eyes were filled with adoration. “If you like someone, we’ll let them advance. If you don’t like someone, we’ll get them eliminated. Today, you’ll call the shots for the entire entertainment circle.”

His lips curled up. “As for that White Feather whom you hate… I won’t let her live to see tomorrow’s sun!”

Yan Zijing instantly wrapped her arms around his. “517, you’re treating me too well!”

A sharp gleam flashed in her gaze.

Backstage.

Shen Ruojing had changed into White Feather’s clothes and put on her feather mask. She then stood up and opened the dressing room’s door.

At that instant, someone suddenly splashed a basin of water at her fiercely!

Splash!

Even though Shen Ruojing reacted very quickly and put out her hands to block, the water still drenched her entire body.

As a result, her feather mask was ruined and the white long dress seemed a little see-through after it got wet. Even the color of the bra Shen Ruojing was wearing could be seen…

Shen Ruojing frowned and looked up, only to see a woman in front of her bellowing furiously, “It’s all your fault for wantonly criticizing my brother, causing him to be eliminated! White Feather, who do you think you are? I’m going to avenge Brother!”

She was a fan of the male actor who was eliminated in the second episode.

Security guards rushed over, grabbed her, and dragged her out.

The woman held onto her phone and recorded Shen Ruojing. “Do you guys see that? Sisters, I’ve succeeded! Hahaha, I’ve avenged Brother!”

… Lunatic.

A hint of fury gradually rose in Shen Ruojing’s heart.

After Jing Zhen, Shen Qianhui, the director, and the others heard about this matter, all of them came rushing over. They all panicked when they saw her in this state.

Shen Qianhui was shivering all over, even her eyes reddened. “Jingjing, we’ll do a face reveal today! We must do the face reveal!”

Shen Qianhui didn’t want to sacrifice her daughter for topicality anymore.

Jing Zhen’s countenance looked grim too.

The director said, “Sure, we’ll do the face reveal. But this dress can’t be worn anymore and the mask is also ruined… Prop team! Clothing team!”

All the staff members were called over.

People from the clothing team looked like they were on the verge of tears. “All of the teachers’ clothings were ordered and we won’t make any adjustments to them either, so all the clothes and masks of those that are eliminated have been returned… Where can we find new clothes now?”

The prop team also looked at the feather mask and sighed. “This can’t be used even if we dry it.”

Just as everyone was feeling troubled, the director spoke up, “Actually, we still have a set of clothes and a mask… The one that Yan Zijing wore!”

Hearing this, everyone else came to a realization!

“That’s right, that’s right! Just get the host to explain the situation clearly. The show will be starting right away. Hurry up and bring that set of clothes over for this emergency!”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

There was no other way out. She could only put it on.
