[That’s an exaggeration. Who would dare act recklessly in front of God He?]
[Su Yuqing only has her looks. Let’s hope she doesn’t crack her voice, go off-key, or drag God He down when she starts singing.]
[Exactly, exactly. If she drags my baby down, I’ll flood her social media!]
“Tell me, who are you here for?” Qi Ming extended the microphone.
The audience had already gone wild, with screams rising and falling like waves. “God He! God He!”
“Now, let’s welcome the one you’ve been waiting for the most—God He and his two teammates, Gu Zhan! Su Yuqing—” Qi Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The atmosphere at the venue had finally returned.
“God He! God He!”
With He Suyan present, the voices of Gu Zhan’s fans were completely drowned out.
He Suyan and Su Yuqing exchanged a glance. He stepped out first, one hand in his pocket, a smile playing on his face.
Su Yuqing and Gu Zhan stood on either side of him.
Whoosh—
The spotlight suddenly shone on them.
Director Lin’s way of capturing people was simply unparalleled. With him around, the guests didn’t need to worry about lighting at all.
With such breathtaking beauty, whether at the venue or in the live stream, everyone instinctively held their breath.
“Hello everyone, I’m He Suyan.”
“Hello everyone, I’m Su Yuqing.”
“I’m Gu Zhan.”
It wasn’t until their voices rang out.
“We’re really looking forward to your performance. Are the three of you ready?” Qi Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart.
He Suyan, his idol!
“We’re ready.” He Suyan adjusted his microphone and chuckled lightly.
Ahhh! The venue erupted in screams once again.
The lights dimmed, leaving only a faint outline of their positions.
Whoosh—
The first note sounded, and a beam of light shone over. Gu Zhan began to dance.
The first highlight moment belonged to him.
Wearing his microphone, the moment he lifted his head, his expression changed. Some people were simply born for the stage.
As the dance lead of a boy band, his reputation was well-deserved.
Every move he made was executed flawlessly.
[Oh my god, this is a true visual feast. What were we watching earlier?]
[Talk about the disparity among artists!]
In the control room, the staff and Director Lin were also quite satisfied. Their professional skills were still intact.
However, his hand still affected him. During the move where he swung his arm and turned, his expression clearly changed.
As Gu Zhan’s dance ended, Su Yuqing’s singing voice seamlessly blended in.
With pure English pronunciation, a slightly husky yet clear and bright voice, her singing began as the white lights illuminated her. Everyone instinctively looked over and then froze in surprise.
Su Yuqing’s singing was this good?
After two lines of lyrics, the dance began. The choreography for their song leaned toward contemporary dance but also incorporated elements of street dance.
Looking back, lifting a leg, hooking a foot…
She was like a spirit dancing under the starry sky, surrounded by darkness, with only the beam of light around her.
She was desperate, she wanted to escape, she refused to give in…
Whoosh, the music changed!
The drumbeats grew urgent, becoming fragmented, and the singing carried a sense of urgency.
Suddenly, a golden light shone over.
He Suyan was like a deity, his voice husky yet powerful, his dance full of hope and momentum.
He moved to Su Yuqing’s side.
Together, they struggled, broke through, and escaped.
Whoosh—
A sound like something shattering echoed, and Gu Zhan appeared, standing opposite the two.
Behind him seemed to be endless darkness.
The three of them engaged in an intense tug-of-war, with singing and dancing colliding.
Until the final note faded and the last dance move ended, the three of them came to a stop.
Their faces were filled with the hope of breaking through the darkness and walking toward the light—a rebirth.
The venue fell silent for a moment, then erupted into unprecedented applause and cheers.
This stage performance was far beyond expectations.
The stage presence of the three had left everyone in awe.
Director Lin’s eyes darkened. Where had this treasure come from, and how did she have this side to her?
“The direction of this song’s adaptation… seems to have been done by Su Yuqing,” the assistant director said in a daze.
It was truly unbelievable.
This originally lighthearted song could be rearranged in such a way—filled with darkness, restraint, and obstacles, before finally turning toward the sun, breaking free from constraints, and achieving freedom and rebirth.
It perfectly aligned with the theme of the first episode.
[Did I… just see that right?] The barrage continued, with some unable to believe their eyes.
[Su Yuqing… how many more secrets are you hiding from me?]
[Her stage presence is even more powerful than Gu Zhan’s, a seasoned idol!]
[She’s amazing, okay? She excels in both singing and dancing! Who made her become an actress? What a waste of talent!]
[Well, she’s signed to Huatai, and the Su family holds shares in Huatai…]
[Alright, I get it now.]
[By the way, I think I saw Su Yuqing’s name listed alongside Gu Zhan’s in the choreography credits just now…]
[You definitely saw it right, sis. And the entire new arrangement too…]
[…]
“The performance by the three of you just now was absolutely stunning!” The host excitedly approached them.
“Next is the vote appeal segment. You have one minute to appeal for votes. Which of you will do it?”
Before the voting, they couldn’t say too much.
He Suyan looked at Su Yuqing.
Su Yuqing smiled slightly, the corners of her eyes lifting. The silver-white eyeliner suited her perfectly, and those watching on screen held their breath—a stunning beauty.
She shook her head. Given the System’s nature, if she spoke, it would be a knockout blow.
“Come on, Teacher Su, it’s time for the vote appeal,” Qi Ming said. As a devoted fan, he knew how to read He Shen’s expressions and directly handed the microphone to Su Yuqing.
“…”
Su Yuqing reluctantly took the microphone. “Hello, everyone. Please vote carefully and choose the best group.”
She pointed at herself.
Gu Zhan’s lips twitched slightly.
The audience and others in the venue…
That seemed a bit shameless.
“Teacher Su is certainly straightforward.”
“Mhm,” Su Yuqing nodded.
“…” So how was he supposed to respond?
Qi Ming felt like today was a career obstacle for him!
“Hahaha…” The audience burst into laughter after a moment of realization.
Su Yuqing, who suddenly spoke the blunt truth, was actually a little bit adorable.
The host quickly took over, said a few words, and then asked the audience to vote. The results would be announced later, and He Suyan and the other two left the stage.
Backstage, just as Gu Zhan was about to speak, Su Yuqing frowned at him. “How’s your hand?”
“What’s wrong? Gu Zhan, what happened to your hand?” Gu Zhan’s manager’s expression changed instantly.
“Nothing, just a minor fracture,” Gu Zhan said, having forgotten about his hand during the flawless stage performance.
A fracture? Just a minor one?
The manager hurriedly took Gu Zhan to the hospital, while He Suyan and Su Yuqing returned to the dressing room.
“Fu Jin has already obtained your management contract from Huatai,” He Suyan said after stepping out for a few minutes and returning while Su Yuqing was removing her makeup.
“How much was the penalty for breach of contract?” Su Yuqing paused.
She knew exactly how unfair her management contract was.
“No, it was the Su family who offered it up.” He Suyan chuckled softly.
“What leverage did you have over the Su family?” The Su family couldn’t compare to the He family, but they wouldn’t have let her off easily either, especially not her mother.
