Lu Jiangyuan stared blankly at Sheng Ziyou on the stage. A faint smile played on her lips, and her captivating eyes gazed at the audience below with a smile…
How many years has it been?
How many years had it been since he had seen her like this?
Lu Jiangyuan’s liking for Sheng Ziyou was due to a coincidence. At that time, he didn’t visit his grandmother’s house often, so he didn’t know that Chen Yingjia was a fangirl.
Once when he went to the Chen family home, Chen Yingjia was watching a video of Sheng Ziyou’s performance in her room.
The room was filled with posters of Sheng Ziyou, one of which was not very big and not as good-looking as the other specially taken photos.
However, Lu Jiangyuan spotted her immediately. The girl was clearly performing, with beads of sweat on her forehead, but the brilliance in her eyes captivated him.
He found it hard to take his eyes off the woman. Later, Sheng Ziyou left the group, and the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar.
Lu Jiangyuan had also seen countless pop-up messages about her on his computer.
Paying attention to her was both unexpected and perfectly reasonable.
At that time, Lu Jiangyuan didn’t know much about her, but he always remembered those eyes, which were full of love.
Why would someone who loves the stage be willing to leave?
It was because of this question that he began to pay attention to Sheng Ziyou.
After announcing her departure from the group, she gave one last performance for her fans as a farewell.
Lu Jiangyuan didn’t watch it, but Chen Yingjia shared the video on her WeChat Moments, and he clicked on it to watch.
After watching it, for a moment, he felt that they were the same kind of people.
People who lacked love.
But they were different; he lacked love, so he didn’t need love anymore.
She made everyone like her, but at the same time, she also liked everyone who liked her.
She received countless likes, and she reciprocated with countless likes in return.
From that moment on, he remembered this person perfectly.
Then she got into trouble, and she left the entertainment industry and the stage.
Lu Jiangyuan couldn’t help but wonder, she needed love so much, after she stepped down… would she be able to get used to it?
Afterward, he saw Sheng Ziyou again at the sanatorium.
She stood under a tree, singing to a few children. Lu Jiangyuan stood at a distance, watching her happily see the children off, and then fell silent for a moment.
It’s as if they were two different people: when she was singing and when she was not singing.
Lu Jiangyuan didn’t know what he was thinking when he proposed to start a talent agency with her. He told himself it was to make money. After all, businessmen liked to make money.
But deep down he knew he didn’t want this person to stand forlornly and lonely under the tree for hours on end, lifeless.
What happened next became clear: the person he couldn’t help but pay attention to, the person he couldn’t help but want to understand, was also the person who attracted him the most.
Almost without a doubt, Lu Jiangyuan fell in love with Sheng Ziyou.
He wanted to provide her with a safe haven, to restore color to her eyes, and to ensure she could be happy…
During her years as an agent, she gained a sense of accomplishment, and she was no longer standing alone in loneliness.
But Lu Jiangyuan always knew that her happiest moments were when she stood on the stage and under the spotlight.
Just like now.
After many years, Sheng Ziyou’s eyes once again shone with a light that made him unable to look away.
It was as if time and space had intersected; the Sheng Ziyou of the past had returned once again.
What interrupted Lu Jiangyuan’s thoughts was the girl next to him, the group admin— Youbao’s Honey.
She screamed like a madwoman, tears streaming down her face.
She grabbed her boyfriend’s hand and, in a hoarse voice, barely able to speak, cried out, “Youbao!! Youbao is amazing!! Did you see that!!!”
The boyfriend looked helpless: “I saw it, I saw it! Your idol is beautiful and amazing!”
Normally, if he complimented other girls on their looks, she would probably get angry, but this was Youbao!
She wanted the whole world to know how wonderful her baby, Youbao, was!
Not only the group owner, but countless other members screamed in excitement and pride.
On stage, Sheng Ziyou bowed along with Gu Yuzheng and the others after their performance.
In that instant when she looked up, she saw those fervent and joyful eyes.
Fans saw her as their faith and pursuit; they had endless love for her, paid attention to every little thing about her, and wished the whole world could know how good she was.
It was because of them that Sheng Ziyou had her own goal; she wanted to work hard and move forward step by step.
She wanted these fans to always be able to proudly and loudly proclaim: I love Sheng Ziyou, she is my idol!
Idol, what a beautiful word.
Life was already full of difficulties, and as their idol, she should give these fans hope to persevere and keep going.
As fangirls, most of them found their favorite qualities in their idols, whether it was their looks, character, or personality. There was always something they loved about them that made them so enthusiastic.
As an idol, one must live up to the love and support received.
This was also the fundamental reason why Sheng Ziyou would never be associated with darkness; she was an idol and the faith of her fans.
After many years away from performing again, Sheng Ziyou looked at the pairs of eyes filled with familiar emotions and smiled brightly.
Sheng Ziyou, Sheng Ziyou, is back.
This feeling of excitement wasn’t unique to Sheng Ziyou; Gu Yuzheng, Ji Ran, and others felt the same way.
Every time they stepped onto the stage, they became even more attached to it.
In order to retain the love and appreciation, they worked harder and harder.
“Fantastic!” Qu Feng shouted, grabbing the microphone and coming up to the stage. “Was this group’s performance good?!”
“Good!” screams erupted from below.
“Ziyou, I really didn’t expect that you would not only outsmart me, but also surpass me in talent…” Qu Feng shook his head, but a smile appeared on his lips.
Sheng Ziyou moved the microphone and looked at him: “Brother Qu, humility is a virtue, but being too humble is a bit excessive…”
“Oh my, is Youbao praising me?”
“Of course.” Sheng Ziyou nodded.
She was still quite tired after dancing, so she didn’t talk much, speaking as she breathed calmly.
The two were chatting and laughing on stage, and anyone with eyes could see that they had a very good relationship.
After all, Qu Feng’s attitude towards the first two female guests was quite distant.
Offstage, Lu Jiangyuan’s gaze shifted between Sheng Ziyou and the various men on stage, but in the end, he could only let out a heavy sigh.
Will he have to see more of this kind of scene in the future?
When Sheng Ziyou praised each student, she was very sincere, mentioning almost everyone’s characteristics and even earnestly campaigning for their votes.
“They are all really cute young men. If I could, I would really like to keep them all, but unfortunately there are too few debut spots.”
This statement was basically endorsed by all the fans.
“I hope everyone will support the boy group selection, and support Gu Yuzheng, Ji Ran, Fu Jiahuan, Lin Yidong, Jing Xianglei and Fan Jiaxu. Thank you everyone!” As if by unspoken agreement, after Sheng Ziyou finished saying thank you, the others bowed almost simultaneously.
This was unrehearsed, yet it was their unspoken understanding.
