Entertainment: If you asked him to be a star, he'd just want to quit.

One hundred contestants compete one-on-one, and then the audience votes to determine the winners.

Moreover, the competition is completed in one day, and the time is still very tight. It is estimated that the competition will continue until midnight.

Fortunately, there were two days of rest after the competition.

While waiting on the side, Li Mingxuan didn't know what to do. He didn't know anyone around him, and he didn't want to have any emotional exchanges with them.

Feeling utterly bored, he leaned against the corner of the wall and drifted off to sleep.

One hundred contestants were divided into two groups, each in a large room, with fifty people sharing a space, which was quite crowded.

Therefore, the organizers very humanely divided everyone into three time periods for the competition: morning, afternoon, and evening.

Although the time span has been extended, there has also been more rest time, so neither the contestants, judges, nor the audience will be too tired.

Li Mingxuan was in the last group that morning.

In each waiting room, the organizers will assign a staff member to prevent arguments and provide timely assistance to the contestants.

Some people paced nervously, while others whispered amongst themselves.

Li Mingxuan, being quite unusual, stood out because he was actually asleep with a slight snore.

As the dozen or so people looked at Li Mingxuan, they all thought that this man was really big-hearted, and that he could still sleep in such a situation.

The staff member was speechless, unsure whether he was genuinely confident or had completely given up.

Time passed by, and people came and went, because everyone was picked up and dropped off by the competition organizers, so they came and went together.

So the number of people in the room never seemed to decrease.

Finally, it was the turn of contestant number fourteen to take the stage. The staff saw that Li Mingxuan was still sleeping and couldn't help but wake him up.

"Huh? Is it my turn?"

Li Mingxuan rubbed his eyes, looking sleepy, which made everyone feel helpless.

The staff responded helplessly, telling him to get ready, as it was almost his turn to go on stage.

Li Mingxuan yawned, indicating that he understood.

He didn't want to sleep, but he had insomnia last night.

That's right. For some reason, even though he went to bed early, he just couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned.

His mind was completely blank, without even a hint of sleepiness, which made him increasingly irritable and restless.

The soft mattress beneath him creaked and groaned.

Could it be that I'm not used to the new bed? This has never happened before. Maybe the hotel is too nice and I'm not used to it?

Li Mingxuan thought to himself, "I'm so annoyed."

It really proves the saying: "A wild boar can't eat fine chaff!"

I managed to doze off for a while around 3 or 4 a.m., and then I was woken up by the alarm.

If he hadn't just taken a nap, he might have fallen asleep while singing on stage.

But he was still not in good condition; he looked exhausted, making it seem like he was probably going to just drop dead.

The staff received the notification and then informed Li Mingxuan that it was his turn to go on stage.

The latter nodded upon hearing this, then stood up looking drowsy.

On stage, Li Mingxuan's opponent was performing a cheerful song, which gave a pretty good impression.

However, there weren't any particularly good highlights. Although his voice was nice, this song didn't quite suit him.

After the song was finished, the judges gave their evaluation. Although the song choice was not good, there were no major mistakes. The singer was in tune and the emotions were conveyed effectively.

In the audience, Lin Yue wore a mask that covered most of her face, but her perfect figure and temperament were still hard to ignore.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the person on the stage.

Hu Jiao was sitting next to them. When the two arrived at the venue, the competition was already halfway through. If Chu Ci hadn't greeted them, they probably would have missed the morning's competition.

Because of this, Hu Jiao complained for a while about Lin Yue's bad habit of staying in bed.

The latter apologized repeatedly, raising his hand and swearing that he would change this bad habit in the future. However, Hu Jiao rolled her eyes and did not listen to him. She was no longer the little follower she used to be and would no longer believe Lin Yue's oath.

The previous few had decent qualifications, but they didn't meet Lin Yue's requirements. Although they sang well, they were only slightly better than the average person.

They're still quite a bit short of meeting the standards for debut.

The contestant left the stage amidst the host's farewell remarks.

Then the host invited the next contestant to come up on stage.

Li Mingxuan, holding a guitar, walked slowly towards the stage.

Wait, a guitar?

When the host called out Li Mingxuan's name, both the judges and the audience were stunned, and then all eyes turned to him.

Many people still vividly remember this handsome guy who caused the two judges to "fight" last time.

But he even brought a guitar on stage. Does that mean he can play the guitar?

Li Mingxuan certainly can, but he doesn't play it very professionally.

This song is perfect for playing on the guitar, so he borrowed one from a staff member before going on stage.

The lights shone on him, making his handsome face more clearly visible to everyone.

He looked tired and haggard at the moment, unlike last time when he gave off a very energetic and sunny vibe.

"This guy, it really is him!?" Lin Yue was only convinced when she saw the face that this person was Li Mingxuan, who had picked her up and brought her to the hotel that night.

This was also the first time she had ever met him in person.

She had a blackout that night and had never actually met Li Mingxuan; she had only seen his photo on his ID card.

"He's even more handsome in person than in photos," Lin Yue muttered. Hu Jiao, who wasn't hearing her clearly, asked a question on her own, but Lin Yue shook her head to indicate that it was nothing.

"Hello everyone, hello judges, it's nice to see you again." Li Mingxuan went on stage and greeted everyone with a smile.

His overly familiar manner made many people laugh.

Chu Ci smiled, but she was curious about his condition today and was slightly worried.

Chen Kaige: "Li Mingxuan, you look so tired. Did you stay up all night?"

Chu Ci asked worriedly, "Is it because you're too nervous?"

"Huh? No, I had insomnia last night." Li Mingxuan smiled awkwardly, not expecting to be asked this question right away.

The host then chimed in, "A staff member just told me that Li Mingxuan was sleeping backstage the whole time, so it seems he really is suffering from insomnia."

"Ha, so are you still able to do it today?" Pang Jia chuckled, a hint of a joke in his voice.

"Ha, no, no, I can still sing. A man can't say he can't."

Li Mingxuan made a small joke, which made many people laugh, while the girls became embarrassed.

"This guy, really, he dares to say anything!" Lin Yue's pretty face flushed red, her beautiful eyes fixed on that face.
