Sweet Time Only for You: The Entanglement between Mr. Lu and Miss Song-Chapter 205: Questioning the Fairness of the Scores 1

But he didn’t cry; it was only after finishing the salute and leaving the stage that the tears in his eyes started to fall.

"Dabai!"

Hearing the familiar call, Song Dabai lifted his little face.

Song Yinyin witnessed everything that happened at the competition through the screen and rushed backstage at the first moment to cheer up her son.

Seeing her son’s drooping little face, she couldn’t help but open her arms in a gesture of embrace.

Noticing his mommy’s figure, Song Dabai pouted his little mouth and suddenly dashed over.

"Mommy—"

He hugged his mommy’s leg tightly, wiped a handful of tears from his face, and asked, "Mommy, why did I get points deducted? Didn’t I play well?"

"No, Dabai, your performance today was excellent."

What Song Yinyin said was not meant to comfort; it was the plain truth.

Her son’s performance today was indeed excellent, flawless.

"Then why did that judge lady deduct my points? Is it because she doesn’t like Dabai?"

Song Dabai didn’t quite understand, he pouted his mouth sadly, looking pitiful.

He didn’t understand why, even though he played well, points were deducted.

"No, Dabai, it’s really not your fault." Song Yinyin shook her head, gently rubbing his forehead, fearing to crush her son’s enthusiasm and confidence.

She hugged Song Dabai’s arm and said, "It’s mommy’s fault. Mommy didn’t choose the right piece for you; mommy didn’t pay attention to the competition rules. The piece was too long, causing your performance time to exceed, which led to the deduction of points."

Hearing that it wasn’t his own fault, Song Dabai’s expression eased a little, not as aggrieved.

"But what do I do? I got three points deducted, does that mean I’m behind?"

As he spoke, the little guy pouted again, "Mommy, will I be last place?"

"How could that be?"

Song Yinyin kissed his little face, took out a tissue to wipe his tears: "Your performance today was great, and even with three points deducted, your score won’t be too low. Besides..."

Just in case, she had to prepare her son mentally.

She cupped Song Dabai’s soft little face and said, "The important thing is to participate. If the result isn’t ideal, it doesn’t matter. In mommy’s eyes, you are the best, best, best treasure!"

With this sentence from mommy, Song Dabai finally had a slight smile on his face.

At this moment, Lu Jihan walked over.

He had also seen the scene that happened on stage through the screen just now.

"What happened? Did someone act unfairly, deliberately deducting Dabai’s score?" he asked with furrowed brows.

Song Yinyin shook her head.

Strictly speaking, this matter was indeed her own fault.

To ensure no one could find a single fault, one must do their best.

And she had indeed overlooked it; when choosing the piece, she focused on the difficulty, wanting Song Dabai to showcase greater potential but ignored the time issue.

Who would have thought, Hao Min just happened to seize this flaw.

Seeing her silent, Lu Jihan didn’t press further.

At this point, the last contestant in the children’s group finished performing, and the female host returned to the stage to announce the scores given by each judge for Song Dabai. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"The first judge, Hao Min, gave a score of—"

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Hao Min to reveal the scorecard.

Song Yinyin clutched tightly onto her clothing, feeling as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Two seconds later, the host announced: "78 points!"

The audience was in an uproar.
