No doubt, it must have been Little Meng Mei who got Li Changlin to write the couplet for the door.
However, Li Changlin was definitely clueless; he simply couldn’t find the troublemaker.
Having no other choice, since he couldn’t find the person, he just had to give up.
But Li Changlin also knew that the brothers were just saying that, and it was definitely impossible for them to seriously expect him to write a couplet.
Still, just in case, Li Changlin was prepared in his heart.
If any of the brothers did make such a request, he had to refuse, absolutely no exceptions.
With tens of thousands of brothers, if he agreed to one, it wouldn’t be fair to treat others differently, and he’d probably get no rest during the New Year festivities.
No way, he absolutely couldn’t agree!
The finals continued, and not long after, the remaining contestants completed the finals, eliminating a few more people.
At this point, there were only six contestants who successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
Fifteen contestants, and nine were eliminated in the first round; the questions were really quite challenging.
Lucky to have freaks like Li Changlin around, if any of the other five had picked the couplet given by Elder Gu, they probably would have flopped too.
"Please, the six advancing contestants, come to the center of the stage," the finals ended, and soon five desks and chairs were rolled by the staff to the center of the stage.
The host asked the advancing contestants to take their seats one by one, then said, "Now we are in the semi-final round, and in a moment our five judges will provide the first lines of couplets, and contestants will participate in a speed round to respond. One point is added for each correct answer, and one point is deducted for each wrong answer. Does anyone have any questions?"
"How is the speed round conducted?" Li Changlin wasn’t a native of Southern Yue and had never participated in such events before, so naturally, he didn’t know the rules.
The female host, seeing that it was the handsome male god, quickly explained, "We will provide wireless microphones for the contestants. After the judges give their questions, if a contestant thinks of an answer, they can pick up the microphone on the table to respond."
While she was explaining, a staff member was already placing microphones on each of the six contestants’ tables.
Li Changlin casually picked up a microphone to fiddle with. With Ling’er’s help, Li Changlin wasn’t worried at all, so he felt very relaxed.
After picking up the microphone, Li Changlin turned on the switch and then gently tapped the top of the microphone twice.
Since it was a live broadcast, Li Changlin had developed the habit of checking the earpiece before starting the stream.
This wasn’t because he didn’t trust the organizers, but rather just a subconscious act.
Seeing his actions, the other contestants couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Of course, everyone’s laughter was good-natured, after all, Li Changlin’s strength was recognized, and no one would be foolish enough to mock him for not understanding the rules in such a setting.
However, their mirth quickly solidified.
After Li Changlin tapped the microphone twice, there was no sound to be heard.
"Could there be a problem with the microphone?"
Seeing the look of doubt on Li Changlin’s face, the hearts of the other contestants suddenly tightened.
"Excuse me, host, my microphone seems to have a problem." The microphone was silent, and that would definitely affect the speed round.
Li Changlin didn’t really care about how good his results were, but since he had agreed to Zhou Ziyu’s request, he naturally had to give it his all.
The quality of the microphone could also affect the results, and Li Changlin certainly wouldn’t be careless about it.
"There’s a problem with the microphone?" Upon hearing Li Changlin’s shout, both presenters were slightly taken aback, then the female presenter quickly recovered and said to the male presenter with a smile, "I’ll go check it out."
"Okay," the male presenter replied with a smile. He shot Li Changlin a sullen glance and thought to himself, It’s good to be handsome, dammit, why does he have to be so handsome? It’s just too unfair!
The male presenter expressed his dissatisfaction, but obviously, it was of no consequence.
The female presenter approached Li Changlin’s desk, first casting a covert flirty glance at Li Changlin before reaching for the microphone in his hand.
As they exchanged the microphone, the female presenter suddenly stretched out a finger and lightly scratched Li Changlin’s palm, while her electrifying gaze left no doubt about her admiration for Li Changlin.
"Vixen, shameless!" Qian Ziwei was aiming her phone’s camera at Li Changlin and had clearly witnessed the female presenter’s expression.
Luckily, the female presenter’s seductive scratching was done surreptitiously; otherwise, Qian Ziwei might have blown her top.
Even so, it was enough to infuriate Qian Ziwei.
However, it was competition time, and she couldn’t do much but reluctantly suppress the anger in her heart, planning to settle the score with that stinking woman later.
You little sister, what do you mean by that, daring to seduce my husband, so outrageous!
Qian Ziwei was visibly upset and her expression was naturally rather unappealing.
Zhou Ziyu, beside her, was slightly startled and asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Who’s the vixen?"
"Little brat, what do you know? Go sit over there." Seeing Zhou Ziyu actually taking a seat at Li Changlin’s place, Qian Ziwei’s face darkened even more, and she couldn’t help but snort coldly.
"What’s wrong, why are you getting mad at me?" Zhou Ziyu felt very wronged, unaware that he was simply a scapegoat.
Poor guy, his luck was truly miserable, daring to come over and provoke Qian Ziwei at a time !
"Oh my dear, that female presenter seems to be flirting with our Brother Changlin!"
"Haha, no wonder Sister-in-law Changlin is angry, it’s because of this!"
"Pfft, how could that woman compare with Sister-in-law Changlin, no need to bother, Brother Changlin definitely won’t entertain her!"
"Hey, hey, you guys above, can you not talk so dirty!"
"Sister-in-law Changlin, don’t be angry, let’s just watch Brother Changlin’s performance!"
"Exactly, exactly, Sister-in-law Changlin, zoom the camera in a bit more!"
The brothers in the live stream were also very considerate. Seeing that Qian Ziwei was upset, many began to offer words of comfort.
Seeing this, Qian Ziwei’s mood improved a bit, so she zoomed the camera in a little more as requested by the brothers.
In doing so, everyone could see much more clearly. They watched as the female presenter pretended to inspect the microphone before finally asking the staff to replace it with a new one for Li Changlin.
"Dammit, he actually noticed it." The burly man who had previously falsely accused Li Changlin of cheating was instantly disheartened when he saw the presenter replacing Li Changlin’s microphone.
Originally, he had thought about playing another dirty trick on Li Changlin, but he didn’t expect Li Changlin to be so careful. It was just too outrageous.
