Xiang Yutang lowered her head and smiled. Zhuo Ziyu tapped the back of her hand. "Stop smiling. We're about to set off."
Xiang Yutang followed Zhuo Ziyu. Everyone walked towards the stage together.
Sure enough, they ran into fans on the way. Xiang Yutang was also startled by the large number of fans.
"Yutang, fly fearlessly. We'll always be with you!"
"Far and wide, Yutang's the pride!"
This grand occasion made Xiang Yutang both touched and amused.
"What's that look on your face? Relax a bit," Zhuo Ziyu reminded her quickly when she saw Xiang Yutang fail to manage her expression.
Xiang Yutang patted her own face. "It's nothing. I'm just really touched."
Suddenly, a few people broke away from the large group of Xiang Yutang's fans and shouted, "Chu Tang is real!"
There were so many people that Xiang Yutang couldn't hear clearly at first. She curiously asked Zhuo Ziyu,
"Who's Chu Tang? Is there someone with this name here?" She couldn't remember any trainee with this name.
Zhuo Ziyu didn't react for a moment. "I don't think so..."
After they walked past the fans, Zhuo Ziyu and Xiang Yutang suddenly realized who Chu Tang was!
It was Zhu Zhengchu and Xiang Yutang!
Xiang Yutang suddenly turned back. Zhuo Ziyu quickly grabbed her. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to sign for those sisters!" Xiang Yutang was both shy and excited. Those sisters were so nice!
Zhuo Ziyu was speechless. "You really want to confirm the rumor. Stop messing around. We're about to enter the venue!"
Xiang Yutang had no choice but to leave reluctantly. She remembered the faces of those girls just now! If she met them again in the future, she would definitely give them a loving hug!
Zhu Zhengchu was the host of today's performance. Almost half of the fans who bought tickets were his fans. They screamed crazily as soon as they entered. The scene was much more terrifying than the combined fans of Xiang Yutang and the others.
Xiang Yutang felt a strange sense of pride. The man you all like is mine! It was indescribably exhilarating!
Zhuo Ziyu cleared her throat and reminded her again. "Sister, can you please pay attention to your facial expression? Are you afraid others won't notice the relationship between you two?"
Xiang Yutang said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by the relationship between us? It's clearly love."
Zhuo Ziyu was speechless. This girl was really love - struck.
Their performance was scheduled later. While other groups went on stage one by one, they stayed in the lounge. Zhuo Ziyu thought Xiang Yutang would be dissatisfied, but unexpectedly, her eyes were fixed on Zhu Zhengchu's face on the screen.
"Yutang, at least restrain your gaze and watch others' performances," Zhuo Ziyu whispered.
Xiang Yutang obediently shifted her gaze to the big - screen for a moment, and then turned to another screen.
Zhuo Ziyu:...
She felt that the relationship between Xiang Yutang and Zhu Zhengchu would be exposed sooner or later.
Finally, it was their turn to go on stage. The members of the group began to encourage each other.
"Come on! Come on!"
Xiang Yutang took a deep breath. She didn't care about the ranking before, but this time she must get the first place. She wanted to be in the same group as Zhu Zhengchu next time!
Xiang Yutang, who had mentally prepared herself backstage, blushed when she saw Zhu Zhengchu beside her on stage. She even giggled several times during the self - introduction. Fortunately, her good looks made her look quite cute.
Zhu Zhengchu also chimed in, "Yutang, don't be too nervous. Let's look forward to the dance from Group Four."
The background music started. Xiang Yutang glanced at Zhu Zhengchu in the audience and began to focus.
Xiang Yutang dancing seriously gave Zhu Zhengchu a different feeling. Different from her usual goofy and funny self, or the quiet and elegant self when she played the flute, on the stage, Xiang Yutang was more radiant and beautiful than anyone else, sexy yet cute. She could catch people's eyes at first sight.
Zhu Zhengchu, who always knew he shouldn't show too much attention to Xiang Yutang in public, couldn't take his eyes off her during her whole performance tonight.
After the performance, Xiang Yutang's group received the warmest applause from the whole audience. Whether they were Xiang Yutang's fans or not, they had to admit that their group's performance was much more outstanding than others.
Before other people's performances ended, someone had already posted Xiang Yutang's makeup and costume today. This time, it wasn't Meng Shuang's company buying the hot search. The hot search just went up on its own because today's makeup was really too beautiful.
Of course, soon, some sharp - eyed fans noticed something strange.
Why did Xiang Yutang's makeup today look like it was done by a famous makeup artist, who was also Zhu Zhengchu's exclusive makeup artist?
This makeup artist usually not only did makeup for Zhu Zhengchu but also shared photos of her self - made makeup on Weibo. One of the most eye - catching makeup looks was the same one she did for Xiang Yutang today. This discovery immediately caused a hot discussion on Weibo.
As everyone knew, Zhu Zhengchu never allowed others to use his makeup artist. What was going on this time? But if it was done by someone else, the technique was too good.
The makeup artist naturally saw many people under her Weibo asking if it was really her who did the makeup.
"Boss, you insisted that I do this makeup. Now it's good. They've recognized it," the makeup artist helplessly sent a message to Zhu Zhengchu.
Zhu Zhengchu quickly replied, "I just wanted them to recognize it."
"Then why did you ask me to cover my face just now? I almost suffocated. Couldn't I just go openly?"
"No."
If she had gone openly, there wouldn't have been so many people on the Internet speculating whether it was Zhu Zhengchu's exclusive makeup artist. Zhu Zhengchu wanted enough people to discuss it and cause a hot - button topic. The heat it would bring was extraordinary.
"Should I reply to them now?"
"You just retweet the post of Yutang's fansite with the caption: The makeup is great. That's enough."
Neither saying it was herself nor saying it wasn't, the ambiguity would make more people curious.
"Okay."
Xiang Yutang didn't know that her performance had caused another hot discussion on the Internet. Like other trainees, she was waiting in the lounge for the ranking announcement tonight.
Zhu Zhengchu was also the one to announce the ranking. He was really a naughty guy. He deliberately teased Xiang Yutang. Usually, he announced from the first place, but today, he started from the last place.
Every time he announced a group, Xiang Yutang's hands tightened nervously.
Damn it! This guy just wanted to play with her! Why did he do this!
"Second place!"
Xiang Yutang was extremely nervous. She was either second or first, but she definitely didn't want to be second!
"Wow, the second - place group gave an outstanding performance tonight," Zhu Zhengchu suddenly changed the subject.
Xiang Yutang felt that cold sweat was about to break out. Since Zhu Zhengchu had said so, could it really be her group?
