Lu Jingyao Really Came

Su Xia nodded immediately. "Yes!"

She scrolled through her phone with a frown. "I haven't read that Lu Jingyao has anything scheduled for tonight."

"Then it might be related to his private schedule."

Xue Mingan said as he walked, "Also, don't believe everything Gu Yu says; that dude's always full of crap."

"..."

The waiting room had excellent soundproofing. Even if there was an audience of ten thousand people, not a single noise could be heard from the inside.

Su Xia had pulled an all-nighter filming last night. She had barely slept for a few hours before being dragged off for rehearsal, makeup, and costume-fitting, and even had to sneak breaks in between work for meals. After coming down from the stage, she had not been in a good state of mind and had been drowsy all the time, but after hearing Lu Jingyao's name being mentioned, she got psyched up, and all her fatigue disappeared in an instant.

Despite her exhaustion, she instantly became energized the moment she thought of him.

Xue Mingan walked in briskly, his face bright with glee.

"I managed to find out."

He lowered his voice. "Lu Jingyao is really here tonight."

…

"Next up is a show all of you would never expect." Standing center stage, the host said with a smile, "Even I, the host, just received the script for this show."

The corners of her mouth were raised at a charming angle. "Let's see what this mysterious show is all about."

"Next up, please welcome—" the host's stunned expression was displayed on the large screens on both sides, her pupils slightly enlarging in bewilderment, "Fire by Lu Jingyao."

The buzzing audience went silent for a while, then in the following second, let out ear-shattering shrieks. The flash of countless lightsticks corresponded to the dazzling spotlights, but the lights on the stage went out in the next instant. In the pitch darkness, the lightsticks looked like a galaxy full of stars, creating a magnificent sea of lights.

All the lights came on again, shining in a cluster on the tall and slender man who had appeared center stage without notice.

A cacophony of screams exploded through the audience.

The man was only wearing simple shirt and pants, but he seemed to exude a powerful presence, making it difficult for people to remove their gaze from him. His collarbones were faintly revealed below his slender neck. A soft blue light shone on his side profile, outlining the defined contours of his face and his perfect jawline. His black hair was smooth and neat, his ink-black orbs were slightly lowered, and his cold charisma gave him a sense of aloofness.

Trying her best to suppress the urge to scream, Su Xia remained seated gracefully in the VIP section. She curled her fingers unconsciously and stared unblinkingly at the man on stage. It felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest at any time.

There was a close-up of Lu Jingyao on the huge screen. He abruptly lifted his gaze and looked into the camera coolly and calmly, his black eyes without a single trace of impurity. It was as if they landed a heavy strike in everyone's hearts, and Su Xia could not help but hold her breath.

The lights dimmed once again.

A little worried, Xue Mingan bent low and crept toward Su Xia's side to remind her, "Be careful, you're now dealing with the audience behind you and the netizens tuning into the live stream. If you don't want to be watched every time you attend his concert, you'd better control yourself."

Su Xia took a deep breath. "I'll do my best!"

However, it was hard to say whether she could hold herself back or not.
