“Oh right, little brother, do you have a performance later?” Xiang Yi said, changing the subject.

  Jiang Chen suddenly remembered. “I’m going to go get ready.”


  The youth took a few steps, paused, then turned to look at Xiang Yi with big puppy dog eyes. “Big sister, will you come watch us perform?”


  With watery eyes and the traces of red imprint on his cheeks, the thin and handsome boy looked like a soft bear cub, making people feel pitiful with one glance.

  Xiang Yi: “.……I will, good luck.”


  Jiang Chen clenched his fists excitedly and promised like a elementary school student, “I…… I will try my best!”


  Xiang ·”Grandmother”· Yi nodded graciously.

  After sending Jiang Chen off, Xiang Yi and Ah Nan were left alone in front of the sink.

  Xiang Yi looked at Ah Nan and twitched her red lips. Before she could utter a single word—


  Ah Nan: “I’m sorry!”


  “I really am, I shouldn’t have sworn at her, nor should I have resorted to violence……” Ah Nan lowered his head, playing with his fingers and meekly saying, “It’s her fault for berating you first……”


  Everyone had a line that couldn’t be crossed. If sister Ling only chewed out Jiang Chen today, Ah Nan would have hesitated before acting.

  But she had talked badly of Xiang Yi, which he was not going to tolerate.

  Xiang Yi: “You’ve misunderstood, I’m not blaming you.”


  Ah Nan raised his head, poking Xiang Yi’s arm. “Really?”


  ‘Q_Q Sweetie really is the nicest person on Earth!’


  Xiang Yi gracefully stepped away with one single step. “Did you wash your hands?”


  “I just wanted to remind you to wash your hands, the front and back both, lathering for 30 seconds at least.”


  In order to watch Sea7’s performance, Xiang Yi could only go back to her seat instead of slipping out as planned.

  As the annual gala gradually came to an end, the host began to announce the program. The seven youths stood on the sideline, nervous and anxious.

  It’s been a long time since they’d performed together, and even longer since they’ve had a stage to perform on.

  Although this time the lighting and sound equipment weren’t the most professional, they were still going to be on livestream. As long as they performed well, they wouldn’t disappoint their fans……

  At this moment, the host pressed the headset to his ear and froze for a few seconds before regretfully saying, “Sorry, due to an equipment malfunction, there is no way to continue with the dance performance……”


  The fans in the broadcast room exploded as they enthusiastically spoke their opinions.

  —— [I waited so long just for this??]

  —— [Tomato Entertainment is garbage! So stingy even for an annual gala?!]

  —— [F*ck I’m crushed, the boys have worked so hard preparing for this stage! /sob /sob]

  The seven youths looked stupefied as they stood in place, unmoving.

  However, the host attempted to save the scene with the pettiest statement possible, “How about you guys send out Jiang Chen to perform a song for us on the guitar? How about it everyone ——”


  The next moment.

  Aside from Jiang Chen, the six youths all looked toward Jiang Chen unanimously.

  They were spiteful, sad, and even more so, disappointed.

  In order to cover the handprint on his face, Jiang Chen had smeared his face with another layer of foundation. Under the bright light of the gorgeous crystal chandelier, he looked paler and more cold-blooded than ever.

  His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by the team leader. “It’s fine, just shut up. We don’t need your explanation.”


  The other members also avoided Jiang Chen’s gaze.

  At this moment, they thought that this had been colluded beforehand by Jiang Chen and the company.

  First they lose a wave of fans, now this kind of petty operation…… The fans would, for sure, be at each other’s throats again.

  Was this all they were worth?

  Heh. They were nothing but tools.
