38 Explanation

" I repeat. May I ask what you are talking about ?" inquired Ting Mei once again with an indifferent voice.

Her response shocked the whole crowd, even Hui Yin. Was it already not clear enough that they were questioning about her alike theme as the prior team? Was she actually going to deny it? At this point, her fellow contestant already guessed the situation: she actually took the same idea of the prior team and didn't want to admit it.

In this situation, she could actually get away with a swift lie, saying that it was a coincidence but she just stupidly tried to deny it! Like it wasn't already obvious! Why would she do that? Is she really that dumb?

Ting Mei and Eva glanced at each other and seeing that both were incredibly calm: they both didn't need to worry about the situation. If Ting Mei said what she said, it is because she has a reason and a plan. If Eva didn't react, it meant that she trusted Ting Mei for the situation.

However, the rest of the people in the room was the total opposite. The judges were completely in disbelief that Ting Mei foolishly tried to deny her act that was, in their eyes, already apparent and was starting to get mad.

Standing next to Ting Mei, Bao Cheng was in a struggle, he knew that Ting Mei had definitely a plan but he still couldn't help but worry. By doing what she was doing, she was making the situation worse than it already was. Neitherless, he decided to not interfere in her plan and let her fix the situation like in her plan.

In this room, the happiest person right now was unquestionably Hui Yin. Not only was this situation in her favor but she couldn't help but feel extremely better after seeing how Ting Mei acted.

" No matter how talented you are, it doesn't necessarily mean you are smart! Just wait till you get what you deserve!" sneered inwardly Hui Yin as she watched the scene unfold according to what she wanted.

A charming smile appeared on Ting Mei's gorgeous face, " In which way was my theme similar to the previous team's one?"

Ting Mei's words, once more, shocked the entire room.

" The previous team portrayed the female lead as a cheerful girl that acts this way because the guy only perceives her as a sister. But since when did my lead tried to act like a sister? She sure did had the aura of a little sister, but I purposely did that so the male lead would see her as a sister. My lead indeed looked like a little sister but she definitely wasn't trying to be the little sister. In fact, she was trying to get away from this image." calmly explained Ting Mei with a casual tone.

Seeing the disbelief and confusion in everyone's eyes, she continued on the same tone," The female lead is indeed smart but that doesn't mean that acting cute is not her real personality. In my eyes, she is a smart woman that also has a bubbly personality and that is the exact reason why the man only sees her as a cute little sister. During my performance, I made sure that when she displayed her love, it would always be obvious that she is trying to tell the man something. She was trying to tell him: I am a woman. She showed affection directly to the man because she wanted to but also to try to show him that her also, was a woman and not his sister. The last scene can prove my point, during the whole day, she couldn't get the message through the man and that is why she was sad."

After the explanation, the room instantly fell in silence.

" That's why I can't understand why would you think that my idea was similar to the prior team's one." finished Ting Mei in a calm voice like it wasn't her business.
