Lin Fangyi gracefully sat into Chu Yaqin's spacious and luxurious car. As soon as she settled in, she seemed to suddenly remember something important and turned her gaze to Chu Yaqin, who was focused on driving.
"Sister-in-law, Xiaoyun, I'm afraid we'll only be able to stay in the regular area this time," Lin Fangyi said apologetically.
Then Lin Fangyi explained, "Fifth Sister is a bit shy, so she didn't ask me to come along. So I bought the tickets myself."
Before she could finish speaking, Chu Yaqin instructed Mu Liuyun, who was sitting in the back seat, "It's alright, Second Sister. Liuyun, could you please help me find a hat and mask in the back seat?"
Mu Liuyun obediently responded and then began to feel around in the direction Chu Yaqin pointed. Sure enough, it didn't take long before he successfully found an exquisite hat and a fashionable mask, which he carefully handed to Chu Yaqin.
Actually, it's not hard to understand if you think about it carefully. Although they are all daughters of wealthy families, Chu Yaqin and the Lin sisters have very different lifestyles.
People like Chu Yaqin, who frequently need to appear in public, are naturally under constant scrutiny. Therefore, when in crowded, ordinary areas, it is clearly necessary to disguise oneself appropriately.
Not long after, Chu Yaqin skillfully and steadily parked the car outside People's Square.
Night had fallen, and the entire city was shrouded in darkness.
In stark contrast, the brightly lit People's Square was bustling with crowds and extremely noisy.
Looking around, the crowds were densely packed, even more crowded and lively than when the last performance was held.
As Mu Liuyun slowly stepped out of the car, Chu Yaqin and Lin Fangyi flanked her like two guardian angels, tightly protecting her in the middle. The scene looked exactly like a mother traveling with her two daughters—warm and harmonious.
Although Chu Yaqin deliberately covered her face with a veil, Lin Fangyi and Mu Liuyun's stunningly beautiful faces still shone brightly in the night, instantly attracting many passersby who gathered around to watch with lustful eyes.
Surrounded by the crowd, Mu Liuyun could hear the murmurs of the people around her.
"I haven't seen their performance for three whole months! I've been waiting for this day for so long, waaaaah..."
"Alright, alright, stop crying! Haven't you heard? Xue'er will be performing on stage today! The long-awaited full lineup of Lilys is finally going to make its debut!"
"You're absolutely right! You'll be moved to tears later. As a long-time fan, I have to tell you something. The band is completely different when Xue'er is there versus when she's not!"
"Hey, I remember you only started listening to Lilys' songs last month, right? How come you dare to call yourself a long-time fan now?"
"Hmph, what do you know! Even those who started following today are already considered long-time fans!"
Mu Liuyun couldn't help but nod. In this day and age, with such advanced and convenient internet technology, and with Lilys being so incredibly popular, a simple online search would easily reveal her development over the past few years, thus turning her into a long-time fan.
However, to Mu Liuyun's slight surprise, Lilys had not held any performances for three whole months.
Normally, the Lilys hold a small performance every two weeks, and a large-scale performance every month.
But why have we become so lax right now?
Upon closer reflection, it might be because Liu Leyao and Mu Liuyun terminated their cooperation in the past three months, and Fifth Sister Lin Xuelan has not yet returned to the country. As a result, Du Ziyan is the only member left to choose from.
Du Ziyan...
It would be better not to perform at all.
Just as Mu Liuyun was lost in thought, Lin Fangyi and Chu Yaqin led him to their seats.
Because the three of them left quite late, the entire room went dark the moment Mu Liuyun's buttocks touched the seat.
Immediately afterwards, three bright beams of light suddenly appeared above the stage. The beams converged on the spot where Liu Leyao, Wang Shirong, and Lin Xuelan, who was sitting behind the electronic keyboard, were located.
When the audience saw Lin Xuelan's familiar figure, they were overwhelmed with excitement.
From the crowd, voices began to call out, "Xue'er, Xue'er!"
The sounds rose in waves, as if they were about to burst through the roof.
Clearly, the atmosphere at the scene was exceptionally enthusiastic this time, as people had learned in advance that Lin Xuelan would be returning, even several times more so than last time.
Standing in the center of the stage, Liu Leyao didn't keep the expectant audience waiting even a second longer. She turned slightly to look at Wang Shirong beside her, who nodded gently and then swung his drumsticks, striking the drumhead in front of him heavily.
With a loud "thud," like the beating of a war drum or the thunder of a thousand thunderbolts, the passion of the entire audience was instantly ignited.
"And almost lived this way"
Liu Leyao naturally continued to sing the classic song that made them famous.
However, amidst this seemingly flawless performance, Mu Liuyun sensed something amiss.
The collaboration between Wang Shirong and Liu Leyao was seamless; every note was precisely on the beat, and their singing flowed smoothly and effortlessly.
However, even with such an outstanding performance, Mu Liuyun was still unable to shake off the strange, indescribable feeling in her heart.
His gaze involuntarily fell on his fifth sister, Lin Xuelan, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and mutter to himself, "Fifth sister, has it been a long time since you played the zither?"
The cheers and applause from the surrounding audience completely drowned out his soft whisper.
...
Not long after, the beautiful and melodious song slowly came to a close with Liu Leyao's heavenly voice.
In an instant, the audience below the stage erupted in thunderous applause and deafening cheers, as if the roof would be blown off.
However, amidst this lively scene, there was a small group of audience members who were extremely knowledgeable about music. Their expressions were somewhat strange, forming a stark contrast with the excited crowd around them.
Just as everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the previous song and was looking forward to the wonderful performance of the next song, Lin Xuelan suddenly took several steps forward and directly took the microphone from Liu Leyao's hand.
After taking the microphone, Lin Xuelan took a deep breath and waited for the audience to quiet down before speaking in a firm and steady tone: "Before the next song begins, I would like to solemnly announce something to everyone here."
She paused briefly, as if gathering her courage, before raising her voice and shouting, "I, Lin Xuelan, will officially announce my withdrawal from the Lilys group after today's performance!"
