Chapter 198 The Panda's Glory Despite the Defeat
Paris Opera House.
The second floor lobby, live competition broadcast scene.
When the panda's round mask was taken off, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This cold breath was not caused by seeing something terrifying, but by a huge surprise.
But under the mask, the black silk hanging down like a waterfall, and the two buttons on the collar of the shirt were not tied tightly, revealing half of the collarbone.
On the collarbone, there is an impeccable face. It is clearly a characteristic of an oriental person, but it has facial features that are not inferior to Westerners.
The skin is as white as snow, and can be broken by blowing, like a fairy descending to earth.
"God! Is this an angel?"
"Who is this person? Why don't I have any impression of it?"
“She is simply a perfect work of art.”
"I used to believe in love at first sight, but now I believe in it!"
“…”
Many foreigners in the audience showed off their appearance that they had never seen the world, and had different reactions, but they were all amazed at the beauty of the panda's true appearance.
The clown's eyes also looked a little straight, staring at the panda in a daze.
However, what surprised the people on the scene the most was Caroler and He Xiao.
Because of this face under the panda hood, they are so familiar with it!
Not inferior to Western people’s facial features, long hair with shoulders, and the eye-catching temperament of a lady… This is the top queen in the Chinese anthem
——Zhang Ya!
"How could Lao Zhang be here?"
He Xiao was the first to be confused on the spot. He had thought about Panda's identity, and through the other party's second-tier line and tentative tone, he inferred that Panda was most likely Yin Miaozhi, a little witch from the piano shop.
After all, no matter from which perspective, Panda's personality looks very much like that girl Yin Miaozhi, which is also why He Xiao has been subconsciously underestimating Panda.
As a result, the mask was taken off at this time and after the real face was revealed, He Xiao was stunned on the spot. This was too unexpected to him. All his guesses were lost and none of them were defeated.
But the question is... why is Zhang Ya here?
He Xiao clearly remembers that there were no acquaintances from China in the list announced on the official website in the Top 100.
But he was extremely sure that the person in front of him was Zhang Ya himself. After all, he and Zhang Ya are not very unfamiliar with each other, and the two are relatively familiar friends.
Carol was also stunned. A Chinese queen appeared in the top 16 in the Isabella International Piano Competition without anyone noticing. The magic drama is not so magical?
"Is this really Sister Ya?"
Under the white swan mask, Carol, whose eyes were only exposed, couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, unable to believe his eyes in his words.
She was in the same reaction to He Xiao, and her doubts were lingering, and she couldn't figure out why the current scene appeared.
Even Carol thought he was dreaming that the real game had not begun yet, and everything was Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies.
But reason kept telling her again that this was indeed something that happened, and that a person who shouldn't have appeared here.
Carol and Zhang Ya are extremely familiar with each other. Both are mentors in the "Voice of Dreams" program. They have worked together for a whole quarter. How could they not recognize each other?
The same goes for He Xiao, who is too familiar with Zhang Ya. He has not only seen it on posters like the masses. The two of them have told the truth in private.
"No... Her badge says... Zhang Lan?"
After the panda took off his mask, the cover of the famous brand on his chest was also removed, and her name was printed on it - Zhang Lan.
Memories surging in my mind, He Xiao gradually recalled that in the data released on the official website of the Top 100 Tournament, there was indeed an extremely inconspicuous Chinese female player named Zhang Lan, who ranked about 70th. She often faced the sky and wore a gray hat, which was very inconspicuous.
Even though He Xiao was particularly concerned about the Chinese contestant, she didn't pay much attention to her because she was too transparent and too low-key.
Among the avatars of the 100 contestants, they could not find them at all with a glance, and they had no distinctive characteristics.
When I think about it carefully, the woman's occasional expression and facial features really look very similar to Zhang Ya, but because she has no makeup and her skin is a little dark, not as white as Zhang Ya, she suddenly didn't think about the two of them together.
"Is Zhang Lan Zhang Ya's sister?"
He Xiao secretly guessed in his heart that he didn't know Zhang Lan, but he was very sure that the woman standing in front of him must be Zhang Ya!
Could it be that Zhang Yalimao replaced the prince and replaced Zhang Lan in the competition?
He Xiao couldn't figure it out.
Just as he was secretly guessing in his heart, Zhang Ya on the stage suddenly looked over and looked at He Xiao intriguingly.
That look seemed to have guessed the identity of the red face.
He Xiao didn't dare to say too much. He was anonymous at this time. His mask, which was not angry and powerful, quickly looked ahead, and did not dare to look at Zhang Ya again.
The host Kami was also shocked by her beauty under the panda mask. She didn't react until then, then calmed down and couldn't help asking: "This... Zhang Lan player, please forgive me for taking the liberty, why do I have such a vague impression of you? Your ranking in the top 100 games on the official website is...?"
When everyone heard Kami's question, they looked at the stage curiously, and wanted to find the answer in their hearts.
Why don’t everyone remember such a beautiful woman?
I saw Panda step forward at this time, bowed to the judges first, and then said slowly: "First of all, I want to apologize to all the audience and judges, because I ignored the rules. I am not Zhang Lan, a contestant from China, but her sister Zhang Ya."
“What?”
As soon as these words came out, an irresistible uproar suddenly erupted at the scene, and everyone was whispering.
Including judges, contestants, hosts, etc., they were all shocked.
The panda player is not a real "panda", but a substitute?
On the stage, when he heard the noise, Zhang Ya seemed to have expected it and said without changing her face: "My sister Zhang Lan is a chronic leukemia patient. Playing the piano has been her dream since she was a child. She has always longed to be on the stage of the Isabella Cup."
"A month and a half ago, at the end of the top 100, Zhang Lan's condition suddenly worsened and she returned to China for treatment, but her desire for the field disappeared, so I decided to replace her and play for her as a panda."
"Even if I was not eliminated by the 'red face' player today and I was lucky enough to get to the last step, I would voluntarily give up everything I got in the game."
As Zhang Ya slowly came out, the truth of the matter gradually came to light.
When everyone heard the causes and consequences, they fell into silence.
Because of his similar appearance, Zhang Ya replaced Zhang Lan. This was an extremely bad cheating behavior, but no one felt unfair.
This is the transmission of dreams between people!
When a leukemia patient lies on the operating table and throws her love for the stage, she is worthy of respect.
Similarly, as her sister, Zhang Ya resolutely replaced the battle with the name of "Panda", which is also worthy of respect.
He Xiao looked at Zhang Ya in amazement, but he didn't expect that this famous queen had a sister with such a miserable fate.
"Panda players don't have to blame themselves. No one will blame you. I, Kami, on behalf of all the staff of the Isabella Cup, sincerely wish your sister a speedy recovery. After all... human dreams will not end!"
Kami made an inspirational gesture, and thunderous applause burst out at this moment.
The field staff immediately turned on a spotlight.
