Chapter 132: Gu Fei: You hugged Lu Yuqi for ten seconds just now
On Saturday night, before eight o’clock, many fans and netizens were eagerly waiting because the final of “Tomorrow’s Stars” would begin live broadcasting at eight o’clock.
【I bet all my fortune that Lu Yuqi will debut in the C position tonight!!!】
【I heard that the previously eliminated trainees are coming back, and YanYan will be back too, ah ah ah ah!!】
【Wuwuwu, if YanYan hadn’t been injured, how great it would have been! He could have been on stage tonight instead of watching others debut】
【Whether he debuts or not, I don’t care anymore! I just hope my wife doesn’t quit the circle!!】
…
The second hand just reached twelve, and the live broadcast began on time at eight o’clock. In an instant, a large number of viewers flooded the live broadcast room, and in just a few minutes, the number of online viewers reached over ten million.
Since its broadcast, this show has received a lot of attention. When the show was halfway through, a so-called “wrong child” plot twist occurred, further increasing its popularity. The entire network was paying attention.
Modern netizens love to eat melons (gossip).
The final competition was very lively.
The audience in the venue was cheering enthusiastically, and the audience outside the venue was frantically spamming the bullet screen.
Amidst the excitement, An Qingyan sat quietly in his seat, surrounded by eliminated trainees. The seats were close to the stage.
Like everyone else, he wore a navy blue academy-style uniform, looking exceptionally youthful and vibrant. He occasionally whispered to the trainees around him, a faint smile on his handsome and beautiful face.
When he wasn’t speaking, he exuded a cool aura. Although he and the dozens of people around him were wearing the same uniform, he was exceptionally eye-catching.
The program team also knew An Qingyan’s influence and frequently cut to him. The young man sat under the dazzling stage lights, without having to do anything, he was enough to cause the audience to scream.
This was his first public appearance in over two months, and in a new identity – not Lin Qingyan, but An Qingyan, the young master of the An Group.
【Ahhhhhhh!! It’s YanYan! The real YanYan!! The cool and noble temperament of a wealthy young master is perfectly embodied by you!!!】
【My long-lost wife has become even more beautiful. Wife, hug!】
【Where did this peerless treasure come from? Taking my old mother’s life, what benefit is there for you! An Qingyan, you arsonist of hearts!!】
【An Qingyan fly bravely, little dragonfly will always be with you!!】
【Our Qiqi can finally see his wife, it’s not easy…】
The fans in front of the screen were frantically showering praise, and the fans at the scene were not to be outdone. An Qingyan heard fans in the audience enthusiastically calling his name, almost shouting until their voices broke.
He smiled helplessly and stood up to wave to the audience, receiving another round of excited screams. They were shouting his name—An Qingyan.
Whether he debuted or not was already unimportant; he was already very happy and satisfied.
The final round lasted several hours. The atmosphere remained lively, and when it came time to announce the debut lineup, the atmosphere reached an unprecedented high.
The stage in the broadcasting hall was large, and Lu Yuqi and the other finalists stood in the center of the stage. Even in such a grand occasion, the arrogant king remained calm and composed, absolutely not ruining his persona.
“Lu Yuqi, you’re the best!!”
“Lu Yuqi, debut in the C position!!”
Amidst the noise and shouts, Lu Yuqi looked at An Qingyan sitting to the side of the stage. An Qingyan smiled at him and silently mouthed: Add oil (加油 – literally “add oil,” a common expression of encouragement).
Lu Yuqi’s expression softened slightly, and he smiled back at him, his lips slightly pursed. The camera happened to capture this scene, and the CP fans in front of the screen were so excited they almost crashed through the wall.
【Ahhhhh! I didn’t expect I could still ship the arrogant king and the silly beautiful man. Little Lu smiled! He smiled at YanYan!!】
【The arrogant king and the silly beautiful man are the best!!】
【I just like the arrogant king’s double standards!】
…
The two people at the scene were completely unaware that the fans were going crazy shipping them. Their friendship was as strong as a copper wall and an iron wall, each with someone else in their hearts, absolutely without any other thoughts.
Lu Yuqi quickly withdrew his gaze. He shifted his gaze to the right without showing any emotion, An Jing was walking up from the audience. The man was wearing a well-ironed black haute couture suit, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, tall and straight.
The handsome face, rarely seen, was adorned with a pair of metal-framed glasses perched on his high and straight nose bridge, adding a touch of禁欲 (abstinence) and scholarly charm that was captivating.
Lu Yuqi’s gaze fixed on An Jing. Perhaps after tonight, he wouldn’t be able to see this person so easily again. He just wanted to take another look, and another look…
These short yet long four months were a dream he had created for himself.
An Jing walked to the center of the stage. His gaze swept across the contestants, finally meeting the gaze that had been following him. He smiled slightly, his lips curving upwards.
Lu Yuqi reflexively looked away, his facial muscles tightening, his expression seeming sullen. An Jing smiled helplessly, this kid…
The show was almost over, and he still wouldn’t give him a good look.
This time he was announcing the rankings, holding the freshly released list.
“From the beginning of the show until now, we have gone through four months. As a tutor, I have watched you grow step by step, sweating…” An Jing started with some platitudes before officially announcing the debut lineup.
Now, everyone was quiet, holding their breath in anticipation. As the eighth, seventh… third place were announced, only the first and second places remained.
The candidates for the C position were Lu Yuqi and Zhong Wangfei.
Zhong Wangfei looked excited, anxiously awaiting the answer. Lu Yuqi beside him remained calm and composed. At this moment, he could openly look at the man not far away.
Listening to the man’s voice, tinged with a faint smile, calling out his name, although the scene was noisy, he could only hear An Jing’s voice:
“He received a total of 48,647,909 votes cast by the producers. That person is—Lu! Yu! Qi!”
An unsurprising result, immediately eliciting thunderous applause and cheers. An Qingyan also applauded with a smile, sincerely congratulating his good friend on debuting in the C position.
Lu Yuqi and Zhong Wangfei, the second-place finisher, gave a symbolic hug. He didn’t show much excitement or elation at winning first place, but his eyes were subtly red.
An Jing walked over, seeing the redness in his eyes, he raised an eyebrow in surprise, then opened his arms to give him a hug, whispering in his ear:
“Congratulations.” He lightly rubbed the young man’s head, smiling, adding a sentence, so low only they could hear it: “Little puppy.”
As soon as he finished speaking, An Jing let go and patted Lu Yuqi on the shoulder.
Lu Yuqi was stunned for a moment before reacting. He tightened his grip on the microphone, bowing to everyone. The arrogant king didn’t usually like sentimental things, and his acceptance speech was short:
“Thank you for your love and support. I will work harder in the future, not to let you down. The only regret I have…”
He looked in An Qingyan’s direction and said seriously: “An Qingyan, you should have been on this stage with us. Tonight’s cheers and applause should also belong to you.”
Fans shouted loudly:
“YanYan!!”
“An Qingyan!!”
Under the gaze of everyone at the scene, An Qingyan stood up. He had a gentle and shy smile on his face, but his beautiful peach blossom eyes were sparkling with tears.
He walked towards the stage, opening his arms to hug Lu Yuqi, “Thank you, Yuqi, I’m glad to know you as a friend.”
“And congratulations on your C position debut.”
Lu Yuqi: “An Qingyan, don’t be sentimental.”
An Qingyan sniffed, then laughed again, “How can it be sentimental? This is what I really mean.”
An Jing looked at the two of them and couldn’t help but show a paternal smile. The two kids had a pretty good relationship. Lu Yuqi was so good to his brother but acted like a small, aggressive puppy towards him. Tsk…
At this time, the audience in front of the screen were moved and found it funny.
【Hahaha, Big Brother, what kind of expression is that? Why do you look so paternal and gratified? Big Brother, did you also ship them!!】
【Big Brother must know something】
【Hahaha, amazing, Big Brother shipping CP online】
【Am I the only one shipping Big Brother and the arrogant king! If I’m not mistaken, Big Brother just hugged the arrogant king and patted his head!!】
…
The show lasted until more than twelve o’clock in the night. There would be a celebration banquet afterward.
An Qingyan didn’t attend. He was led by the staff to the parking lot, preparing to go home by car, but unexpectedly saw a familiar black Maybach.
His driver came over and politely asked: “Young Master, are you going home now?”
“Wait a minute, I have something to do.”
An Qingyan smiled politely at the driver and walked towards the Maybach. The back seat door opened, and he approached, unsurprisingly seeing the man sitting inside.
“Fei Ge, why are you here?” The young man had a surprised smile on his face. Seeing the man beckoning him, he naturally got into the car and closed the door.
They hadn’t seen each other for several days.
Gu Fei reached out and rubbed An Qingyan’s head, “I’m here to take you home.” He picked up a bouquet of red roses next to him and handed it to the young man, “For you.”
“Thank you, Fei Ge.” An Qingyan had noticed the bouquet as soon as he got in but was still surprised. He looked down at the bouquet, gently touching the rose petals.
Gu Fei: “Do you like it?”
An Qingyan: “Mm, I like it!”
Gu Fei: “You hugged Lu Yuqi for ten seconds just now.”
An Qingyan: “???”
