“Su, are you feeling unwell?” asked Jiaojiao. “Even though you didn’t sing off-key, you could do better.”
“Emm, I’m just in a bad mood,” said Yan Su with a deep voice.
Jiaojiao didn’t ask anything further. Every artist had their own secrets.
Back at the hotel, Yan Su spent the whole night sitting behind the French window.
Shi Xiang called her, but she didn’t answer her phone.
The next day, the dark circles under Yan Su’s eyes gave Jiaojiao a shock. “Didn’t you sleep last night?”
“I couldn’t sleep well in a strange place.” Yan Su asked the makeup artist to give her thick undereye makeup.
That afternoon, after attending the event, she flew back to Xia City.
Gao Hang called to invite her somewhere, but she didn’t want to go. However, her schedule was known by a lot of people, and she had promised to go, so she asked the chauffeur to drive her there.
The place that Gao Hang booked was called Club No.5, a fancy place in Xia City.
“Jiaojiao, don’t wait up for me. Just take a taxi home. Some of my classmates are here, so I can ask them to drive me,” Yan Su said when getting out of the car.
“All right. Be careful. Call me immediately if you need any help. You didn’t sleep well last night, so go home early,” Jiaojiao said to her, then left.
Yan Su went to Gao Hang’s VIP room.
Gao Hang’s family was rich, so he booked a luxurious room. Yan Su pushed the door open and walked in. About twenty people were in the room, chatting and laughing. Yan Su wasn’t surprised. Gao Hang was the student president and very social. He had a lot of friends. However, Yan Su started feeling uncomfortable when she saw the outstanding Mo Liuxi in the crowd.
Ever since Luosang’s wedding, she had been trying her best to stay away from that little devil.
“Su, you’re here!” Once she showed up, many of her schoolmates greeted her. Before, she was not popular among her peers, especially when she had an issue with Ye Chuen. She was even isolated once. However, now that she was a popular singer, those people tried to get closer to her.
Yan Su was clearly aware who were fake friends and who were real.
“Su, I heard that you attended the grand ceremony in Beijing yesterday. You’re amazing. Many stars were there, including Shi Xiang and Ji Nuanyi,” said one of her classmates.
“It was okay. Most of the stars sang a few songs and then left.” Yan Su quickly answered a few questions to satisfy their curiosity.
Gao Hang came over. Yan Su handed him a gift. “Happy birthday. I’m surprised you invited some younger schoolmates.”
“Thank you. I thought this would be a small party at first, but these young boys and girls are just passionate,” said Gao Hang apologetically. “It’s alright, though. We’ll be working in the same circle in the future. You see, that boy is Mo Liuxi. He’s still a student, but in fact, he’s already famous throughout the world as a director.”
“You know him?” Yan Su asked.
Gao Hang laughed. “I’m the president of the student union. I know everyone. Mo Liuxi and I played video games together a few times. We were well-matched adversaries and we even formed a team once. That’s how we became friends. All right, don’t just stand here. You are a famous singer now, so you have to sing a few songs for us.”
Many people were surrounding the Karaoke machine, choosing the songs they would be singing later. Gao Hang pushed Yan Su to that area.
One of Yan Su’s classmate saw her and instantly made space. “Su, come on! Come here!”
Yan Su was pushed toward the machine. Mo Liuxi was sitting right beside it, holding a bottle of beer. Yan Su sat down, huddling together with him.
