Tang Suxin sensed the crown falling off and instinctively raised her hand, but before it reached halfway, the heavy crown slammed onto the ground with a loud "bang!" and rolled off the stage.
The mask concealed Tang Suxin's pale face while the audience let out a murmur of surprise.
Tang Suxin also heard someone laughing loudly, their grating laughter pinning her in place like steel needles.
She bent down reflexively to pick up the crown that had fallen to the floor, and Lu Xiaoyou walked past her...
Lu Xiaoyou was not affected by Tang Suxin; after her poised turn at the end of the T-stage, she strode away gracefully.
As she passed by Tang Suxin on her way back, the audience erupted with exclamations!
Those who were laughing at Tang Suxin for dropping the crown had their attention diverted, and all eyes were on Lu Xiaoyou.
To be precise, they were on her back.
People hadn't noticed anything special about Lu Xiaoyou when she was walking towards them.
