"I'm sorry, you have been eliminated!"
With just one sentence from Kamir, the smile that had just begun to curve on Mo Qingya's lips froze there.
Elim... eliminated?
She was... eliminated???
Her eyes widened in disbelief, Mo Qingya stared blankly at Kamir, unable to believe what she had just heard.
"Wh... "
Before she could even ask why, she saw Kamir had already lowered his head to look at the program list in his hand.
Beside her, the host extended a hand, regretfully inviting her to step off the stage.
Blinking, Mo Qingya turned around like a puppet and walked off the stage in a daze.
In the audience, a group of dancers in ballet skirts waited quietly with gentle, sweet smiles.
In her mind were Kamir's comments.
In front of her were crowds of dancers and backstage staff.
Mo Qingya seemed to hear nothing and see nothing as she dejectedly made her way back to the waiting room.
