If Shen Qi and Deng Yufei did not commit voting fraud, they would have gotten promoted to the next stage of the program. They would have ended up standing on the stage proudly as they accepted the glory.
They really wanted to hack off their hand for hiring someone to cast fraudulent votes. However, it was too late to regret it.
The moment Sheng Shuangnan made up his mind, it was impossible to convince him otherwise.
Also, they did not dare to tell anyone about their actions. They could only quietly pray and hope that the culprit would not get caught by the police and implicate them.
The instructors and the other contestants were unaware of Deng Yufei and Shen Qi’s actions, so they came over to console them.
Contestants who were particularly close with them even cried.
Yu Guannan felt bad about Shen Qi’s loss as well. And Chu Ling felt sorry for Deng Yufei.
Xia Peifeng had recently appeared as a guest performer on the program and happened to be in town for some other event. He drove over to check on Deng Yufei when he found out she was eliminated.
He was particularly concerned about Deng Yufei.
After Shi Jin said goodbye to Gu Qinghua, she boarded the huge van.
Yao Jiahong quickly put his phone away awkwardly when he saw Shi Jin coming over.
Shi Jin pretended not to notice and looked out the window after getting into the vehicle.
Yao Jiahong exhaled gently. Why did he feel as though he was caught red-handed committing adultery?
Yao Jiahong simply comforted Deng Yufei a little.
If Shi Jin mocked Yao Jiahong for it, he might have felt a lot better. Yet, Shi Jin did not seem to mind at all and acted completely unperturbed making Yao Jiahong feel immensely uneasy.

Hu Lai comforted Deng Yufei, “It doesn’t matter that you got eliminated. Isn’t your Allure ad airing tonight? Just relax. You can still survive after getting eliminated from the show.”
Deng Yufei was not solely upset about getting kicked off the program.
Sheng Shuangnan’s words still hung over her head like the sword of Damocles and she did not know when she might get caught for cheating.
Posts about the competition results naturally trended online. Topics about Deng Yufei’s elimination and her unexpected loss kept trending on social media.
Deng Yufei’s fans kept consoling her.
[Don’t cry, Little Raindrop! It’s okay. We will support your Allure product when the ad is released!]
[It is just a contest, and doesn’t mean anything!]
[You will have an even brighter future!]
[Sigh. I can’t believe the likes of Little Stone could have won! This simply doesn’t make sense!]
[To be honest, Little Stone performed really well!]
[How could you say that? Little Raindrop’s performance was much better, okay?]
Deng Yufei and Shi Jin’s fans kept arguing online.
A picture of Xia Peifeng visiting Deng Yufei suddenly appeared online.
The picture quickly stole everyone’s attention.
[Oh god! It’s Peifeng!]
[Everyone simply loves Little Raindrop!]
[I am green with envy!]
[Sigh. So what if Little Raindrop got eliminated? Just look at the kind of attention she is receiving?]
Everyone made a comparison of a picture with Xia Peifeng rolling his eyes at Shi Jin.
Everyone felt Little Raindrop was a nice, sweet girl. Also, people questioned Little Stone for succeeding in moving on to the next stage.
Hu Lai was naturally behind this. She was excellent at manipulating the fans. The fans reacted just the way she wanted and the effect came out good.
