Su Jin was speechless when she heard Hou Wan’er’s words. However, Hou Wan’er wasn’t wrong. One had to be punctual for some things. At this time, the competition bell rang. The crowd outside who were standing in groups of two or three immediately lined up to enter the competition venue.
A few staff members quickly checked everyone’s ID cards and participation information before everyone drew a number from a box, which would determine the order of their audition. This was a national competition with many signups. Only 220 people would be selected to enter the competition! Su Jin’s city only had 25 spots!
There were only 25 spots but there were more than 200 participants here. Moreover, a person who didn’t wish to be named said that although there were still 6 spots, two had already been reserved by big shots behind two participants. So, there were really only 4 spots.
220 participants but only four available spots. That showed how competitive today’s audition would be.
Chit-chat heard backstage as the participants waited nervously for their turn, “It’s over. There are more than 200 people here but only four spots!”
“Exactly. And I heard that the contestants are all experts. I think I have no hope at all.”
“Stop talking. I’m so nervous that I might not be able to go on the stage. Can I go home now?”
Hou Wan’er looked at the nervous contestants and became a little nervous herself. After all, there were so many people here and Hou Wan’er wasn’t sure if she would be chosen.
Hou Wan’er patted Su Jin’s shoulder and asked, “Su Su, aren’t you nervous?”
Su Jin was playing a game on her phone when she heard this. This kind of competition was a small matter. Life continued after the audition. She would just go home and rest. She didn’t care about the ranking anyway.
But since Hou Wan’er asked, Su Jin replied indifferently, “What’s there to be nervous about?”
Hou Wan’er looked at Su Jin unhappily. How could Su Jin still happily play her game at this time? Was it because she was too confident, or was it because she didn’t care at all?
Hou Wan’er looked at the crowd around her and said, “Su Su, look around. Some people here are so nervous that they are thinking about quitting the audition. How do you have no reaction at all?”
Su Jin raised her head and looked at Hou Wan’er in confusion. What did others’ nervousness have to do with her? It was just a competition, what was there to be afraid of? At worst, she wasn’t selected for the competition.
Su Jin replied plainly, “What has their nervousness got to do with me? Also, look at my number!”
As she said this, Su Jin showed Hou Wan’er her number. She didn’t know why her luck was so bad today that she actually drew this number.
Su Jin looked at her number and said angrily, “Look, I’m number 220, the last one. What’s the use if I feel nervous!”
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She barely got here in time, and she got the last number. What kind of luck was this? With so many people ahead of her, it would be nightfall when it’s her turn. And that’s if people ahead of her were quickly eliminated!
If everyone performed well and played complete pieces, Su Jin’s turn would probably be a few days later. Moreover, Su Jin would have to come her to wait her turn for the next few days.
Hou Wan’er said in disbelief, “What? 220?”
Su Jin nodded lightly. What could she do? Her luck was just so bad. Su Jin continued to play her game since she wasn’t nervous.
Hou Wan’er patted her back and said sympathetically, “It’s not just a matter of time. Going last is the hardest. The judges would have seen too much and sat for too long by then. Their bodies and senses would be fatigued!”
“As your good friend, I can only say this. Congratulations, you have been eliminated by default!”
When Su Jin heard this, she looked up at Hou Wan’er speechlessly. She thought that Hou Wan’er would console her, but she actually said that?
Su Jin said with a bitter smile, “My good friend, you look very happy and smug now. Are you gloating?”
Hou Wan’er saw Su Jin’s expression and knew that she had gone too far. However, there was nothing she could do about it. Su Jin was just unlucky. It was what it was.
Hou Wan’er shook her head quickly and said, “No, no. Why would I do that? I was just kidding. Please carry on with your game!”
