Chapter 40 Ulsan Music Festival + Filming Wrap-up
More than ten days later, when the bag of snacks was finished, a gentle breeze had dispelled half of the summer heat. After Han Yunxing got out of the car, he heard the cheers of fans gathered at the entrance of the venue.
Who is this?
Fans who had crowded to the front row to wait for their idols to arrive craned their necks to look at the people getting off the car and tugged at the excited people next to them to ask questions.
The person being pulled aside didn't reply immediately. She held up her phone, the camera closely following the person in the middle. Under the lens, Han Yunxing, wearing a Morandi pink strapless dress, gathered her long black hair and smiled as she greeted them. The delicate ruffled hem highlighted her bright girlishness, but the exposed shoulder and neck lines also showed a subtle sexiness amidst the elegance.
After Han Yunxing finished greeting everyone and went backstage, the fan holding the phone turned to answer the person who had spoken earlier: "Stage sprite, food-spreading genius, the talented female solo artist Han Yunxing who always brings surprises to her fans!"
The person who hadn't gotten an answer earlier, now hearing the machine-gun-like recommendation from the person next to them, nodded sheepishly. They had just thought it was pretty and casually asked, "I wasn't planning on switching allegiances, you don't need to recommend it to me so seriously!"
But Han Yunxing's fans were too diligent. Seeing her nod, they assumed she was interested and took advantage of the waiting time to recommend several performances to her.
After returning home, this fan, who had been influenced by the recommendation, began to subconsciously pay attention to Han Yunxing's activities. The story of how she went from being a casual fan to a dual fan is another story.
After walking backstage, Cha Eun-woo ran to the waiting room to greet Han Yoon-sung.
"Yunxing looks very beautiful today."
Cha Eun-woo had already finished his makeup and styling. His fresh sailor-style outfit made him exude youthful charm. Looking at the girl sitting in the chair, a hint of amazement flashed deep in his eyes.
"Yin Youxi looks very handsome today too."
Han Yoon-sung was flipping through the script when she noticed Cha Eun-woo, who hadn't left after saying goodbye. She looked up and smiled, saying, "Oppa, it's not convenient for you to stay any longer."
Under Han Yoon-sung's indifferent gaze, Cha Eun-woo touched her nose sheepishly.
He stood up to leave, but before he did, he turned his head and said to Han Yunxing, "See you in a bit."
Today is Music Core's summer special. In addition to Cha Eun-woo and Han Yoon-sung, Jung Young-hwa and Wendy from Red Velvet have been invited as special MCs.
"Kids these days are so tall."
Hearing Wendy's rambling, Han Yunxing smiled, turned around, hugged her, and straightened his posture: "Unnie, I'll be your limited-time couple!"
The two main MCs' outfits today were sailor-inspired, especially Han Yunxing, who wore a sailor uniform and a white beret, looking incredibly pure and innocent.
The MCs' outfits were also very fitting for the summer music festival atmosphere. Wendy wore a blue striped sleeveless shirt, and as Han Yunxing said, the two of them looked great together.
Seeing her younger sister catch her in her secret sigh, Wendy hugged Han Yunxing back and hooked her chin with her finger: "Hey, do I look like the weaker one?"
Han Yunxing laughed and snuggled into Wendy's arms. This woman is so understanding!
Jung Young-hwa stood to the side, arms crossed, bumping into Eun-woo: "Isn't it cute?"
Cha Eun-woo subtly picked at her fingers, then, realizing what Jung Young-hwa had said, a smile spread across her face, her peach-blossom eyes sparkling with laughter.
At the end of July, the daytime heat was suppressed by the night. As a port city, Ulsan's sky was a different sight from Seoul's. Stars drifted overhead, and the moon's silvery glow draped the earth in a soft veil.
However, the audience members holding various light sticks simply remarked how wonderful the night was, their attention focused on the stage.
"Hello everyone, I'm Eun-woo, the MC from the Music Center—"
"Yunxing!"
The girl in the sailor uniform saluted and greeted the audience, then quickly winked in that direction when she saw her light stick.
“Special MC Wendy——”
"I am Zheng Ronghe."
It's great to see you all!
After introducing the artists who will be attending the Ulsan Music Festival today, the cheers from the audience were already deafening.
"Are you all ready to enjoy yourselves?"
The three people beside her smiled and looked at Han Yunxing in the middle.
She turned her head to the side, put her hand next to her ear, and felt the huge roar coming from below the stage.
"Inside!!!"
The audience's enthusiasm needed no further confirmation, so the four of them moved to the side and handed the stage over to the opening band.
The atmosphere was great that evening, and Han Yunxing was also caught up in the music on stage, nodding her head along with the drumbeats.
Cha Eun-woo looked down at Han Yoon-sung, who was swaying to the music. Rays of light fell on her, and the halo of light danced on her fair face. He smiled and tapped his head to the beat along with her.
Han Yunxing was a qualified and clearly enjoying audience member. Standing to the side watching the performance on stage, she was completely liberated from the self-indulgent mode of just thinking.
Right now, she's dancing to "Really Really" with her upper body, following the performance of the winners on stage. The three people next to her, seeing Han Yunxing's energetic appearance, also joined in the rhythmic movements.
Seeing Zheng Ronghe nodding beside him, Han Yunxing swung his hand even harder, the light of expectation and encouragement almost piercing through his hand. Inspired, Zheng Ronghe stiffly imitated the movements of the people on stage, waving his arms, and sure enough, he received an approving smile from Han Yunxing.
The fan site admin, amused by Han Yunxing's appearance today, who looked as if she had eaten popping candy, chatted with Wendy's fan site admin next to her.
“Yunxing is really high today, she’s not usually like this.”
After saying that, she shouted towards the corner of the stage, "Yunxing, don't laugh so happily when watching male idols perform!"
However, it was clear that Han Yoon-sung was completely absorbed in every stage she was on. When Kim Ji-soo was performing on stage, she caught a glimpse of Han Yoon-sung waving and smiling brightly. During the interlude, she couldn't help but glance at her again. Although she quickly looked away, several BLACKPINK fans still managed to catch the reaction from the corner.
Wow, the MCs are really active today.
Not only did the fansite admins of BLACKPINK catch Han Yoon-sung, but fansite admins of other artists also got a few shots of Han Yoon-sung leading the other MCs in making reactions.
[Music Core needs to charge Lyra one ticket! Okay, let's charge four, and she'll have to pay for the other MC tickets too, lol]
—They rushed in in a panic. Our child is working for the music school; it's an employee benefit, an employee benefit!
—At the time, the fan site admin next to Lyra told her not to laugh too happily at the male artist's performance lol. This kid was laughing like crazy.
—Thank you, little sister, for teaching our Zheng the Dance King to dance, hahaha!
—I'm dying of laughter! What was Ji-soo thinking when she saw Yoon-sung for the second time? Was she wondering why MCs don't charge admission? lol
—I envy the citizens of Ulsan; the atmosphere is so nice today.
…
—Doesn't anyone think Yoon-sung's outfit today suits her incredibly well?! MBC is really spoiling Yoon-sung like a princess!
—The sailor uniform is so innocent! That wink while saluting! Ah, I'm dead! I'm going to gnaw on it!
—Her recent casual outfits are also great. I want a lady! I want a princess! I need to throw away all her casual outfits.
—The upstairs neighbor's grumbling, lol. Our Yunxing pulls off anything so well! But I thought Yunxing was going to have a stage performance today, ugh…
—Don't break up yet, sisters! Yunxing's sleep-inducing live stream has started!
The online discussion about Han Yunxing's "real MC vs. fake MC" has made her stand out in other fandoms.
This was the nth time that Han Yunxing had been glanced at by other celebrities during an interview. She gripped the microphone tightly and silently vowed to herself that she must control her reaction in a big setting next time!
But she didn't expect her idea to come true so quickly. At the end of August, MBC employees began a large-scale strike, and Music Core's programs began to be suspended for weeks at a time.
With no need to participate in the recording of "The Voice of China" for the time being, Han Yunxing was able to manage her schedule more easily between the film crew and her comeback preparations, and finally ushered in the day when filming wrapped up in early September.
Upon learning that her tutor was the murderer of her half-sister, Jiang Yirui was torn between her bright future of being admitted to Capital Medical University as planned and the heavy burden of self-blame and fear. She dared not close her eyes to sleep. Every day when she was alone, her heart pounded so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.
She wanted to hide in her mother's warm embrace, but she still trembled slightly with anxiety.
Let's set things right then and there.
Her mother stroked her hair and asked softly, "Is our daughter ready?" She was ready, ready to give up fourteen years of hard work, ready to start all over again, ready for everyone to suspect that all her achievements were due to the teacher leaking the questions.
In any case, the innocent should not be punished, and the guilty should be tried.
After resigning, Jiang Yirui finally got a good night's sleep, something she hadn't done in a long time.
Just like the day we first met, the sun was shining brightly. The greenery in the villa area where the elite lived was well-maintained by the workers, and the branches and leaves stretched freely under the warm sun.
Still dressed like a princess, Jiang Yirui sat down next to Huang Yuzhou, clenching her fingers: "I'm sorry, if I had told you sooner, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
Looking sideways at Jiang Yirui, who was stiff and nervous, Huang Yuzhou thought to himself that she had really changed a lot.
"Thank you."
"I heard about your withdrawal. You are very strong and you will definitely do well."
Jiang Yirui didn't dare to look at Huang Yuzhou's warm smile. She didn't expect to receive a word of forgiveness from him, let alone his gratitude at this moment.
All of Jiang Yirui's girlish worries, which were tied to him, dissipated in the warm sunshine with her smile at this moment. She heard that Huang Yuzhou had dropped out of school and planned to study abroad to relax, and that his family was going to move away from here.
"Safe travels, universe."
"Thank you, and you should keep it up too."
Once again thanked, Jiang Yirui mustered her courage, looked up at the boy in front of her, and waved goodbye with a smile.
The warm sunlight shone on Jiang Yirui's face. As Huang Yuzhou's receding figure became a mere speck in her eye, she turned and walked towards her new school.
"Cut!"
Han Yunxing was still immersed in Jiang Yirui's relieved mood when the director's shout brought her back to her senses, and she ran to the monitor.
Happy wrap-up!
"Yunxing has wrapped filming!"
Surrounded by the crew, Han Yunxing felt a real sense of accomplishment at the wrap-up of filming amidst their congratulations.
Han Yunxing hugged the flowers that she had taken from whichever hand was in front of her, and then Shen Lina took the opportunity to slip a small bunch of lisianthus into her hand.
"Come on, come on, let our little princess stand in the middle."
Surrounded by people, Han Yunxing, holding flowers, tilted her head towards Lian Jingya beside her, smiling and revealing her white teeth.
"I think Yunxing is the happiest person to be smiling right now today."
The director leaned over to look at the camera footage, and before he could even make a joke, he turned and caught Han Yunxing's barely suppressed upturned lips.
“Our child has been suffering in the film recently, so it’s time for her to smile.” Lian Jingya spoke up for Han Yunxing, but the next second she was caught by the director to discuss the upcoming filming. Watching Han Yunxing skipping and jumping towards the children with flowers in her arms, she shook her head with amusement.
Because other actors in the crew still had scenes to finish, Han Yunxing said goodbye and returned to her car with the flowers in her arms.
Han Yunxing happily took pictures of the bouquet. She learned from Shin Lina that the lisianthus was a gift from Kwon Ji-yong, and her heart was bubbling with joy.
Kwon Ji-yong has been so busy lately that he could only have a simple get-together with family and friends on his birthday. The next day, he bought a ticket for the first flight of the morning to fly to R country for a tour.
Han Yunxing gently stroked the petals and leaned closer to the bouquet to inhale its rich fragrance.
What should I do? Sending flowers is just too much!
Unlike Han Daoen.
Han Yunxing's head drooped. Han Daoen was away on a business trip recently. It was his first time experiencing acting, and he hadn't heard anything since filming wrapped up. Han Yunxing felt that this older brother didn't care about her at all.
Han Yunxing glanced out the window and noticed that the person she had been secretly criticizing was walking towards the car.
Her body, which had been paused, began to move again. Han Yunxing hurriedly opened the car door and ran towards Han Daoen like a firecracker.
