Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1613 - 1610: Evaluation Results (Part 1)

Who else could be enjoying the night view here but Xiao Manxuan? The night breeze blew in through the window, gently caressing her hair and dress, revealing a blend of innocence and allure amidst the disorder.

But the hint of sadness on the little girl’s face made Lin Tian’s heart ache. Normally bright and lively, Xiao Manxuan rarely showed such an expression. Lin Tian thought for a moment and understood the reason.

A performance of "Feng Qiu Huang" to express her feelings—how much courage and passion must it have taken for a young lady to do that. Yet Lin Tian just disappeared without a word, leaving her without any response, surely breaking her heart.

Understanding this, Lin Tian was deeply moved. He slowly walked over to Xiao Manxuan. With just the two of them in the corridor, Xiao Manxuan immediately noticed Lin Tian’s presence.

A blush of shyness appeared in the little girl’s eyes—after all, she had just played "Feng Qiu Huang" so boldly. Her heart was still beating wildly, but thinking about Lin Tian’s vanishing act, she let out a coquettish humph and turned her head away, ignoring Lin Tian.

Lin Tian smiled inwardly; this angry demeanor was just like the proud Second Miss. He said nothing, walking around to the other side to appear before her. The little girl’s eyes twitched, but she immediately turned her face away again, planning to continue ignoring this annoying guy.

However, as soon as she turned her face, she discovered Lin Tian standing in front of her again, which startled her, making her think there were two Lin Tians. But Xiao Manxuan was clever and understood quickly—it was Lin Tian moving quickly to intercept her.

As she turned her face again, she saw Lin Tian standing in front of her, and upon seeing the mischievous smile on his face, her heart raced even faster, yet she was also filled with anger.

"You bad guy, weren’t you playing hide and seek? Don’t come near me." Xiao Manxuan angrily reached out to push Lin Tian, and then something unbelievable happened—Lin Tian was pushed back, crashing into the corridor wall.

With a bang, Lin Tian quickly clutched his arm, groaning, "Xuanxuan, my arm..."

Xiao Manxuan was so shocked that her face went pale, and she hurried over to Lin Tian. Seeing him like this, she was so nervous she forgot everything, only to suddenly remember when she supported Lin Tian that with his skills, it was unlikely he could be injured.

"You bad guy, you..." Xiao Manxuan realized what happened, but it was too late. Lin Tian swiftly moved and trapped her against the wall with both hands, gazing down at her pretty face.

Face-to-face, their breaths mingled, making Xiao Manxuan’s face turn red, her heart beating faster. Lin Tian felt intoxicated by her orchid-like fragrance.

Gazing at her beautiful face, Lin Tian instinctively kissed her. As their lips met, the whole world seemed to fall silent. Xiao Manxuan’s eyes widened but soon slowly closed.

It wasn’t until Xiao Manxuan was out of breath that Lin Tian reluctantly let go. Already flushed, her rapid breathing and frantic heartbeat made her feel dizzy.

"Ahem..." A cough suddenly echoed in the corridor.

Lin Tian looked over with displeasure to see Yang Lin leisurely watching them from one end of the corridor. In reality, Lin Tian had noticed her presence long ago but was too lazy to pay attention to her, letting her watch to her heart’s content if she wanted.

Xiao Manxuan also noticed the senior’s arrival, and realizing that scene had been fully witnessed, the blush on her face spread to her neck. She glared at Lin Tian, cooing, "You jerk, you’re so bad, I’m not talking to you anymore."

With that, she bent down to dodge Lin Tian’s arms and jogged away like a startled fawn. Lin Tian looked at Yang Lin with dissatisfaction.

Yang Lin showed no awareness of being a third wheel, instead teasing, "Junior, your lip skills are really impressive. I’d like to try them too." She particularly emphasized the words "lip skills," her meaning obvious.

This senior’s bold personality gave Lin Tian a bit of a headache, but if you took it seriously and really tried to take advantage of her, she would flee faster than anyone. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"As a junior, I’d be honored to have a close exchange with you, Senior." Lin Tian wasn’t easy to deal with either, chuckling wickedly as he approached her.

"Maybe next time, when I’m free, we can have a slow exchange." Seeing Lin Tian approach, Yang Lin chuckled and indeed turned to leave, taking a few steps before turning back to say, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, Bitong is about to go on stage; it’s the final headline act."

With that, she truly left, and Lin Tian, not intending to actually do anything, just smiled casually and also left the corridor.

When Lin Tian returned backstage, Bitong was coming out of the makeup room. As she passed him, Bitong gave him a meaningful look.

The meaning was clear to Lin Tian: the student performance ultimately serves as a sideshow, and the final voting is just a formality.

Just then, Yang Lin and Xiao Manxuan also emerged from the makeup room, prompting Lin Tian to ask, "Senior, is the program voting fair?"

Yang Lin was momentarily stunned but then confirmed, "Of course, it’s fair; all votes are calculated by computer."

"That’s good," Lin Tian replied indifferently.

Xiao Manxuan, still a bit flushed when she saw Lin Tian, tried to act nonchalant, saying, "We don’t care about the ranking, as long as we participate, there’s no need to overthink it."

"That’s our understanding and reasonable Xuanxuan," Lin Tian winked at her, lavishly praising her, making Xiao Manxuan both happy and shy. The little girl thought privately, this jerk is too blatant with his compliments in front of the senior.

Yang Lin shook her head helplessly, "You really treat me like air, flirting right in front of me."

"Not at all, Senior," Xiao Manxuan muttered, blushing while giving Lin Tian an embarrassed glare, then pulled Yang Lin to watch the performance.

When Lin Tian reached the side of the stage, the set was already arranged. It must be said, a superstar’s treatment is different; not only did she have more than ten backup dancers, but the stage was meticulously set, showing considerable effort.

Just this scale of scenery and backup dancers made the other performances lose in terms of grandeur.

As the music started, Bitong, surrounded by dancers like a star among the moon, gracefully moved to the center of the stage.

Cheers erupted from the audience, along with faint calls from outside the hall, fans calling out Bitong’s name in frenzy. Those who stayed this long were truly hardcore fans.

This was a large song and dance performance, and as a superstar, Bitong handled the scene with ease, evident from the audience’s cheers.

Bitong sang while dancing, leading the dancers, stepping in rhythm to the music.

"Not bad for a superstar, singing and dancing are great," Yang Lin couldn’t help but praise.

"Really?" Lin Tian smiled lightly.

The two girls, Xiao Manxuan and Yang Lin, found his tone odd and looked at him, but Lin Tian offered no explanation. At that moment, a high note on stage suddenly stopped, testing the singer’s ability and vocal skills.

Bitong, however, continued holding the microphone, mouthing words as if lip-syncing, then casually lowered the microphone when she realized.

"Lip-syncing." Lin Tian murmured softly.
