"Sigh, don't even mention it. I wasn't planning on coming because I couldn't get a ticket, but I'm not entirely giving up, so I thought I'd try my luck with the scalpers."
The group admin sighed, "I didn't manage to get tickets for tomorrow either. Why am I so unlucky?"
"Hehe—" Xue Yiwei proudly waved her phone, "This humble woman has managed to snag tickets for tomorrow's event!"
"Ugh, damn it—"
The group admin's eyes were practically gleaming with greed, his desire to get revenge on Xue Yiwei was practically burning, while Dong Nizhen just shrugged: "Have you forgotten that you have a meeting tomorrow?"
"That's right."
Xue Yiwei's face fell instantly.
The group admin's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xue Yiwei with anticipation: "My dear little box, are you transferring your tickets?"
“Sigh, I definitely can’t go tomorrow. I can transfer the money to you, but—” Xue Yiwei looked at the short-haired girl next to her.
"It's okay, don't worry about me, I can't go tomorrow either."
The short-haired girl shrugged.
"Okay."
Xue Yiwei made a simple transaction with the group leader, transferring the tickets she had to him.
"So I'm the only one who can go tomorrow?"
The group leader glanced at the three people in front of him and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
"I heard it's another boy group dance performance tomorrow, Xiao Ge's first singing and dancing stage!"
Xue Yiwei felt a deep sense of regret.
Dong Nizhen patted the group leader on the shoulder and solemnly entrusted him, "Brother Xiao's stage performance depends on you!"
The group leader suddenly felt an even greater responsibility on her shoulders. She immediately stood up straight, her face filled with great ambition: "Okay, don't worry! I will definitely capture the best side of Brother Xiao!"
...
Xiao He was unaware of the fans' expectations. After returning to the villa, he immediately confirmed tomorrow's work with Liu Rulan: "Tomorrow's time is about the same as today's, during the afternoon rehearsal. Lu Yuxi should be there on time, right?"
Liu Rulan nodded: "I've already spoken to the program director, and they've reminded him several times. If that guy is still not on time, then there's really no hope for him."
"That's good."
Xiao He then said nothing more.
I slept soundly through the night, and before I knew it, it was the afternoon of the next day, time to get ready for my makeup and hair.
This time, Lu Yuxi was finally not late.
When Xiao He saw people starting to go in and out of the dressing room next door, he was somewhat shocked: "This guy is here so early today?"
Liu Rulan glanced at it and then said, "If he's not on time again, he'll offend more than just us."
"That makes sense."
Xiao He went to his dressing room to begin preparing his makeup and styling.
-
When Xiao He finished his makeup and came out, Lu Yuxi and Xie Jingshi were already waiting for him.
Xiao He glanced at Lu Yuxi, then nodded to Xie Jingshi in apology: "Sorry I'm a little late."
"It's okay, they've only just started the process on their end."
Xie Jingshi said, gesturing for Xiao He to sit down.
Xiao He didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to continue waiting.
A short while later, it was time for their final rehearsal.
Lu Yuxi was exceptionally cooperative today, and the entire rehearsal went very smoothly with almost no problems.
Xiao He finally felt a little relieved.
He had just stepped off the stage when he saw Lu Yuxi asleep in a chair to the side.
Xiao He: ...
"Brother Xiao, I heard he stayed up all night yesterday and only went to sleep this morning. He got up at noon, did some quick swelling reduction, and then came over."
Xiao Chen chirped softly beside him.
Xiao He couldn't understand: "Just got back from staying up all night?"
"Didn't you see his face was all swollen just now?" Xiao Chen pouted. "He came over right after waking up, and drank two cups of black coffee in one go while putting on makeup. I admire him; isn't he afraid of dying from overwork?"
Xiao He: ? He drank two glasses in one go? Is he Superman?
Xiao He was afraid that Lu # Nоvеlight # Yuxi would overdose on caffeine and have her heart leap out of her throat.
"Then why is he asleep again?"
"He's probably just too tired, and the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet," Xiao Chen said, shrugging. "If I drank like that, my heart would explode tonight."
"Shhh."
Xiao He gave Xiao Chen a look.
"Anyway, no matter what his condition is, we just need to take care of ourselves."
"Hehe, that makes sense."
Xiao Chen nodded and said nothing more. The two of them sat quietly in the lounge, browsing the situation online.
Soon, dusk fell, and the performance was about to begin.
Before going on stage, Xiao He noticed that Lu Yuxi drank another cup of coffee.
He frowned almost imperceptibly, but said nothing, straightened his clothes, and waited to enter.
-
Xi Han checked the seat numbers one by one and then sat down in her seat without any problems.
Looking at the empty stage in front of her, Xi Han took a deep breath and took out her own light stick.
Just then, someone sat down in the empty seat next to her.
The other person seemed to have noticed the light stick in Xi Han's hand and asked somewhat timidly, "Are you also a fan of Xiao He?"
Xi Han looked up and saw a little girl with a pale face, who looked very thin and was holding the same kind of light stick.
"right."
Xi Han smiled shyly at the other person and continued sending messages while looking down.
【Group admin: Report, I'm offstage. 【stage.jpg】】
【Little Box: Wow, the view from this spot is amazing! Waaah, I'm crying again, why can't I go there?】
【Feng Xiaoxiao: The group admin was there too! I'm so envious. This might be a limited edition boy band member, Xiao He. It's a pity I can't see him in person.】
【Group admin: Hehe, I promise to record a high-definition video of Brother Xiao going on stage.】
【Qingtian Yunhe: Sigh, why am I abroad? (sad)】
【Hehe: So you've been abroad lately. I knew you hadn't been posting as much lately.】
【Qingtian Yunhe: I'm sad, I want to cry.】
【Group admin: Wow, it's starting, it's starting!】
【Group admin: Why does the host never age? She doesn't have a single wrinkle. 【Photos】【Photos】【Photos】】
【Group admin: I don't think XX's live performance was that bad. Maybe the atmosphere was really exciting, and people couldn't help but sway along.】
【...】
【He Xiaohei: Enough! It's like nobody's not streaming! I want to see Brother Xiao's live performance!!!】
【Hehe: Judging by the time, it should be soon.】
【Wind Howls: Coming, coming!】
Even before her group members reminded her, Xi Han had already put down her phone and taken out her camera from her bag.
Just then, she noticed that the woman next to her had pulled out a telephoto camera that looked like a cannon, and her posture was more like a sniper shot than a photography session.
Xi Han: !!! How did that frail body manage to carry that thing?!
Before she could think any further, a dark red light suddenly shone on the previously dark stage, carrying a faint sense of dangerous loss of control.
A rhythmic whistling accompaniment rang out from both sides of the stage.
When the familiar intro was heard, almost all the fans in the audience knew who was about to take the stage, and they immediately erupted in excited screams.
"Ahhh, Xie Jingshi!!!"
"Lu Yuxi, Mom loves you!"
"Brother Xiao!!! Ahhh!!!"
Accompanied by frantic screams, three figures suddenly emerged from the dark red light.
Xi Han quickly raised her camera, and almost instantly, she focused her gaze and the lens in her hand on the figure of the young man on the left.
The young man wore a black shirt with tight suspenders, which perfectly showcased his strong but not overly muscular shoulders and back. The silver chain belt around his waist and black cargo pants accentuated his slim waist and long legs, giving him an aura of confidence.
The deliberately heavy idol makeup on his face did not make him look effeminate. On the contrary, it made his eyebrows and eyes look sharper, and his facial contours stood out under the dark red light, giving him a mysterious air.
At that moment, Xi Han felt as if her heart had been squeezed, making it impossible for her to look away.
Someone said last night that Xiao He's stage performance was highly distinctive and unforgettable.
Only now does Xi Han finally understand the true value of those words.
That's a feeling you absolutely can't experience through a live broadcast. The person on stage exudes such a dangerous aura, constantly setting off alarm bells in your heart, yet his powerful personal charm and the stage lights make it impossible to look away. It's like Stockholm syndrome, an incurable urge to be obsessed with him.
With a precise jump, the young man lowered his eyes and began to enter his dance rhythm. His deliberately low, hoarse voice carried a hint of tender sexiness. Xi Han clenched her fists, feeling like she was about to transform into a gorilla and pound her chest and bark wildly in the audience. Her voice didn't stop screaming at all, and she couldn't wait to fly onto the stage.
How can someone be so handsome?
It makes people instinctively want to be drawn to it!
Almost at the climax, Xi Han kept pressing the shutter button on her phone and started singing loudly. But at that moment, the young man in her eyes suddenly stopped, his smooth movements faltering for a moment. Then, he casually jumped to the beat and moved to the other side of the stage.
It was just a fleeting moment, and Xi Han's eyes faithfully captured it. But her excited brain couldn't give her any extra feedback; she just kept screaming and enjoying the stage with the others in the audience.
Only those in the audience who knew the truth frowned.
