Chapter 49 Fans' Perspective (1/2)

Lin Xia came out of the bathroom wiping her wet hair. The screen of her cell phone suddenly lit up and a series of messages popped up.

"Xia! We're in Shanghai! At Pudong Airport!"

"Is the meeting place mentioned in the forum correct?"

She was stunned for two seconds before she realized it was Miya and the others! They had already arrived in Shanghai!

She is a freshman at a university in Shanghai and also the moderator of the [Ouyangguang Guardian Knight] bar.

At the end of last month, she had just finished practicing her subjects and was so tired that she just wanted to collapse on the bed.

As a result, as soon as I opened my phone, I received several pop-up private messages from Tieba. Some of the unreadable messages came from a user with a Korean ID, mixed with awkward Chinese and English.

"Hello! We are Ouyang Guang's Korean fans! We saw that you created a forum!"

"We want to support him in Shanghai, can we join us?"

"He performed at the SMTOWN Seoul concert last month! There's a video! Want to see it?"

Lin Xia jumped up from the bed at that moment.

"He can actually go on stage!"

Lin Xia's fingers trembled slightly, and she immediately replied, "Of course I can!"

She created this forum purely because she saw his photo in a post by chance - the blond boy in a white shirt at the beach, with eyes curved into crescents, was inexplicably heart-warming.

It was the first time she saw the boy's photo, but she felt inexplicably familiar with him.

I found that there were not many posts about him, most of which were sporadic information circulating in the school - he was a student of a junior high school in Shenzhen, and later went to South Korea to be a trainee.

"Trainee..." Lin Xia felt a little disappointed, which meant that it might be difficult for her to see news about him again.

But somehow, she still created the "Ouyangguang" forum and became the moderator. Even if she was the only one, she wanted to reserve a place for this sunny boy.

As the moderator of the Ouyang Guang's Tieba, Lin Xia has long been accustomed to the deserted Tieba.

She created this forum half a year ago, but apart from occasionally moving some old photos from the previous Ouyangguang School Forum, there is almost no new information.

Ouyang Guang seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. There was no social media account, no public schedule, and even the poster who posted the photos disappeared.

After all, he is just a trainee who has not yet debuted. Apart from the photos revealed in those two posts, there is almost no new material about him.

This summer she was busy taking her driver's license test and completely missed the news of Ouyang Guang's performance in Seoul.

She clicked on the video link sent by the other party, and the screen showed the stage of SMTOWN's Seoul concert.

When the camera swept across the band area, a familiar figure was concentrating on playing the drums - although he was wearing heavy stage makeup, that familiar face was clearly Ouyang Guang!

"We checked and it's very likely that he will be performing at the Shanghai concert!" Miya excitedly sent a message in a private message.

"At his last concert in Seoul, we didn't know he would be performing and we didn't go to the venue to cheer him on!"

"We will definitely go to the Shanghai show! Ouyang Guang needs support!"

"Although there is no official news from Korea, we want to go there and try our luck!"

"Let the child know! There is always someone waiting for him!"

Lin Xia looked at her phone, her heart pounding.

Looking at the boy with sweaty bangs sticking to his forehead on the computer screen, I suddenly felt a lump in my throat.

She recalled the introduction she wrote when she first created the bar: "Protect this shining boy." And now, he really stood on the shining stage.

She quickly looked up her calendar - the concert was on the weekend and she didn't need to take time off.

"I'll prepare the support items!" she replied, "I'm from Shanghai, leave the hotel and transportation to me!"

In the next two weeks, she was busy communicating with Miya about the travel route while making banners and light boards. In order to achieve a bilingual effect, she also specially asked a senior from the Korean Department to help proofread.

Airport…

After receiving the text message, Lin Xia quickly took a taxi to the airport.

“Here! Here!”

Lin Xia waved vigorously in the airport lobby, and three Korean girls dragging suitcases ran over, looking around.

"Xia! We finally meet!" Miya hugged her, and the other two girls came over excitedly and said "Thank you!" in broken Chinese.

Lin Xia's nose felt sore - they actually flew all the way from Korea just for a trainee who hadn't even debuted yet.

Although they did not speak the same language, they communicated in simple English and gestures and quickly became familiar with each other.

In the hotel, Lin Xia spread the light board she brought on the table. Opposite her sat three Korean girls, Miya was the leader of the fan club, Soobin was the vice leader, and Shin Hye was the fan club sister.

"We searched for a long time and found that you are the only organizer on the Chinese side." Miya said using translation software.

"We completely missed the Seoul show, so we want to give him the best support in Shanghai this time."

The concert scene...

"This sign should be held higher!" Miya said in awkward Chinese.

They repeatedly adjusted the bilingual Chinese and Korean signboards to ensure that the three words "European Sunshine" could shine clearly in the dark.

"Will he not notice us at all..." Lin Xia bit her straw nervously while waiting for the show to start. After all, Ouyang Guang was just the drummer of the accompaniment band, and the camera wouldn't even scan him.
