"Why? Don't you have any feelings for me?!"
"Why do you need so many reasons? It's a no."
"You said 'no' instead of 'I don't like you'. Can I take it that you still have feelings for me?"
"... Whatever you think."
"Then what should I do for you to say yes?"
"... Why bother?"
"Tell me. I'm sure I can do it!"
Lu Zhihang stared intently at his phone. Wang Wei, who had got wind of the situation, rushed over from behind and glared at him. "What are you doing?! It's your turn on stage. Why are you still standing here? Hurry up!"
"Just a moment..." Lu Zhihang didn't even look up.
Wang Wei was taken aback. "What are you waiting for? This is no time to waste!"
"Just a little while..." Lu Zhihang gritted his teeth.
Just then, Lin Wan's reply came in.
"Since you're so insistent, fine. I won't say yes until we've met in person!"
"What if we have met?"
"Met? Are you kidding me? Don't tell me you're Lu Zhihang! If that's really the case, okay, I'll say yes!"
A faint smile played on Lu Zhihang's lips when he read this message.
"Good. You said it yourself."
After sending the last message, Lu Zhihang tossed his phone to Wang Wei and walked straight onto the stage with the microphone in hand.
From the stage, he could clearly see the faces of the people in the front row. He saw Lin Wan's stunned expression as she looked up from her phone at him.
He winked at her with a smile and began his opening remarks.
The concert lasted until 11 p.m. The venue was still abuzz with excitement, but Lin Wan didn't feel any of the liveliness. The sounds around her seemed to be coming from far away. Her eyes were fixed on Lu Zhihang, trying to confirm her suspicion.
The last song ended.
On stage, Lu Zhihang wore a gentle smile on his lips. His eyes swept across his fans and finally met Lin Wan's.
"Today, through this concert, I want to do something."
As soon as he said this, the venue fell silent. The fans were all eagerly waiting for this last little surprise.
Backstage, it was a scene of chaos. Wang Wei was shouting into the phone as he paced back and forth. "Tell the company's PR department to be on standby at all times. If this thing blows up, we need to stop the damage immediately!"
"Security! Where are the security guards? Stand by and keep the situation under control later!"
"I've fallen in love with a girl." On stage, the bright white lights and the blue background made Lu Zhihang look extremely pure. When he said this, almost everyone knew what he was about to do.
The whole venue erupted into deafening screams.
Lin Wan couldn't hear these screams anymore. She stared blankly at Lu Zhihang on stage. His well - tailored clothes showed off his figure perfectly.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her wrist. Lin Wan turned her head absent - mindedly and saw Ye Zi clutching her hand excitedly. Her face was full of excitement and fanaticism.
"Damn! This is so explosive! Is President Lu going to confess his love?"
"Hey, who do you think he's going to confess to? Could the girl be among us?"
"I wish it were me. I've been a fan of President Lu for so many years."
...
After the screams, there were countless excited shouts and conversations. Lin Wan finally began to come to her senses.
"I met her in a game. Although we don't have many chances to meet in real life, I still like her very much, so much that I want to spend the rest of my life with her."
She heard Lu Zhihang's voice, soft and gentle, like the music left by a phonograph needle scratching across a record.
"Lin Wan, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend now?"
Boom!
At that moment, Lin Wan felt a dizzying sensation as if her brain had been slammed against the wall. The scene in front of her seemed to freeze.
Lu Zhihang's star - like twinkling eyes and the gentle curve of his lips. All of this was frozen at this moment and deeply engraved in Lin Wan's mind.
"Lin Wan?"
"Did President Lu just say Lin Wan? Did I hear that right?"
"I don't think so. I heard it too. Who's Lin Wan? Is she here?"
...
While Lin Wan was in a state of shock and daze, the fans around her also began to frantically search for Lin Wan.
At this moment, it wasn't just Lin Wan who was shocked. Ye Zi, who was sitting next to Lin Wan, was also in a state of shock.
Ye Zi was completely stunned. She stared at Lin Wan with her mouth wide open and couldn't say a word for a long time. They were in the front row, and they could hear every word Lu Zhihang said clearly. When she heard the name Lin Wan, her face went blank.
"Oh my god..."
"Oh my god..."
Ye Zi murmured several times. She was just as shocked as Lin Wan.
"That ticket... was it really from President Lu?!" Ye Zi blurted out. She could hardly hear her own voice because of the noise in the venue.
Lin Wan only reacted after being tugged at several times. She looked at Ye Zi blankly and nodded after a few seconds.
"Oh my god, Lin Wan, you're amazing!" In this situation, Lin Wan had reason to believe that Ye Zi had blurted this out unintentionally. However, the consequences were really shocking.
Almost as soon as she said this, the area within a two - meter radius around them fell silent for a few seconds.
Lu Zhihang also faintly heard something. He was stunned on the spot.
Then, the venue erupted into an even more terrifying commotion.
"Oh my god, Lin Wan is really here!"
"What? Where is she?!"
"Up in the front row. She doesn't look that pretty."
"Is that Lin Wan? How can she be worthy of President Lu? She probably seduced President Lu on purpose!"
"I don't agree!"
...
Amid the commotion, all the arrows in the venue were suddenly pointed at Lin Wan in the front row. Lin Wan was a bit panicked.
The situation got worse. When someone suddenly threw a water bottle at Lin Wan and shouted "shameless", it was like opening a switch. Many people began to follow suit. Lin Wan was suddenly in the spotlight of public criticism.
Seeing this, Lu Zhihang's face changed instantly. He dropped the microphone and rushed to the edge of the stage, reaching out his hand to Lin Wan. "Lin Wan, grab my hand!"
It was like a blessing from heaven. Lin Wan didn't think twice and reached out her hand.
Lu Zhihang grabbed Lin Wan's hand and gently pulled her onto the stage. He spun her around and hugged her tightly in his arms. The water bottles and various cheering items that were supposed to hit Lin Wan landed on Lu Zhihang instead.
The situation was really chaotic. Lu Zhihang didn't have time to think. He grabbed Lin Wan and rushed into the backstage.
