Chapter 81 Book Signing Event (Part 2)
In the audience, Jiang's fans who had been waiting eagerly craned their necks to watch for a long time before finally getting their turn.
Mo Bei appeared in the middle of the line. He was wearing a lilac-purple shirt with a strong sense of drape, paired with white casual pants of similar material and sneakers of the same color.
The dreamy, soft color scheme of this outfit neutralizes his aloof temperament, making him appear much gentler. His originally black hair has been dyed a deep grape purple, streaked with a dreamy gray-purple. This hair color creates a strong visual contrast with his delicate, fair features, making him look like a character straight out of an anime comic.
Because it was a book signing, the members didn't wear heavy makeup. However, the makeup artist did add a little ingenuity to Mo Bei's look. His shirt collar had a pair of lilac-shaped buttons, which added a touch of refinement and harmony to the overall look.
"Thanks to the stylist, my baby finally got her hair dyed! Such a beautiful face deserves more styling!"
"Oh my god! This look is so cool!"
"This trip was worth it! Woohoo what kind of fairy on earth is this!"
The fans in the audience roared with excitement, and the sound of taking photos never stopped since the members came on stage.
But by now, everyone was used to this kind of scene. After everyone took their place in the center of the stage, they all smiled and bowed to the fans in unison: "Hello everyone! We are Originore!"
After practicing privately for hundreds of times, the members are now much more comfortable with the group name than they were on the night of the group formation.
As the team leader, Sheng Yanyu was the first to greet the fans, and the crowd erupted in excited screams.
Afterwards, the members introduced themselves one by one. When it was Tao Xiaotie's turn, the atmosphere changed. He waved to the fans in the audience with a silly look on his face, "Hello."
For a moment, those fans who originally called his husband "husband" such as wife fans and girlfriend fans suddenly turned into Tao Xiaotie's mother fans and started calling him "baby" and "cub".
Seeing this, Lei Lie couldn't help but hold his forehead, "I always feel like there's a generation gap between us."
A fan in the audience immediately shouted: "A husband of the same generation!"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
It was Mo Bei's turn to take the microphone, and all Jiang fans started screaming.
"Thank you all for coming to our book signing event and thank you for supporting our debut single."
Mo Bei paused and said, "The weather has been very hot recently. Everyone should pay attention to sun protection when going out to avoid heatstroke."
"good!!!"
"Don't worry, Brother Nan! I usually don't go out!"
A loudmouthed woman in the audience suddenly blurted out something, and not only the fans, but also the members on stage couldn't hold it in. Even Zheng Xingye, who was loud and outspoken, burst out laughing.
Mo Bei was amused by the fan's humorous response and couldn't help laughing: "I can see that you went out to attend the book signing event."
“That’s right!!!”
Then I heard the loud fan continue to shout: "By the way, Brother Nan, you looked so handsome today!!"
The members on stage were completely overwhelmed by the Sheniu fans' antics. Yi Chuheng collapsed on Xu Tingchuan's shoulder with laughter, and even the most stable and mature Sheng Yanyu couldn't help but smile.
Mo Bei nodded and smiled: "Thank you."
Even more ferocious than the Jiang fans in the audience were the fans of Lei Lie and Bai Li. These two had the phrase "close-up, big-mouthed" ingrained into their bones. Not only did they call Bai Li "wife," they even directly addressed Lei Lie in a lewd manner, making his ears red. The teammates watching from the side even smiled mockingly, enjoying the fun without a care in the world.
It can be said that with the activeness of these fans, the atmosphere on the scene became very warm.
After a brief chat, the signing session officially began.
According to the rules, each group of 50 people will take turns to go on stage for autograph sessions. Regardless of whether they are fans of a single idol or a group, each fan will have one and a half minutes to get up close and personal with each idol in Originore.
During this time, fans can chat with the members, get autographs, and take photos with them. There will be staff on site to keep track of the time, and will urge and remind them if they exceed the time limit.
Cai Shumin's number was in the middle, neither front nor back. While waiting, she took a deep breath and thought about what to say next.
Although there is a minute and a half of contact time, fans need to contact each member one by one in order after entering the stage. This also means that in one minute and a half, she can only be in contact with herself for 9 seconds. This is based on the assumption that the staff on site will not compress the time.
Fortunately, Cai Shumin never does anything unprepared. After confirming her eligibility for the book signing, she immediately searched online for information on the essentials for attending an offline book signing. She also wrote down on a piece of paper what she wanted to say to her idol. This prevented the awkward situation of forgetting what to say at crucial moments.
The first fan to come on stage seemed to be a newbie at the autograph session and was incredibly nervous. When she walked up to the first member with her poster, her cheeks flushed.
Yi Chuheng smiled slightly when he saw this, "Relax, don't be nervous."
When he took the poster, he signed it and asked, "Is this your first time offline?"
The girl nodded slightly. Perhaps because of Yi Chuheng's friendliness, her pounding heart gradually slowed down.
"yes."
The girl wasn't the talkative type, so she only replied with one word and didn't say anything more. Yi Chuheng, however, smiled as if reminiscing with an old friend and continued, "Is that so? I hope you'll have a good memory of it then."
"I will."
Taking the poster with both hands, the girl blushed and nodded: "Thank you."
Just like a factory assembly line, after the first fan moved forward, the second and third fans walked onto the stage one after another.
After a while, the number of people in the queue was more than 10.
Seeing the team getting closer and closer, Cai Shumin, who had been relatively calm, actually started to get nervous.
She clutched the small piece of paper in her hand, like a robot, repeating silently what she wanted to say, but her mind was blank and the only sound she could hear was the thumping of her chest.
Most fans will be nervous and at a loss when they meet their favorite idols, but there are some exceptions who are not nervous at all and can even chat with the members.
Just like the young lady who just came on stage. The first thing she said when she saw Yi Chuheng was: "Yi Chuheng, you are so handsome!"
Although it wasn't the first time he'd received praise from a fan, Yi Chuheng still said thank you in a good mood. After signing his name, he asked again, "Are you a fan of mine?"
But the girl in front of him shook her head and said, "No, I'm a fan of both the group and the couple."
Upon hearing this, Yi Chuheng was stunned.
Group fans, how rare is this in the Originore fan circle.
He was so focused on being shocked by the existence of group fans that he ignored the second half of the girl's sentence: "CP fans".
Zheng Xingye, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Whose couple are you a fan of?"
The girl grinned and said, "I'm an omnivore. I don't have any fixed preferences. I can be a fan of anything."
"Of course, I've also been rooting for you and Junxi's 'Stars Together' lately."
Zheng Xing is very ambitious and is not at all opposed to fans shipping their CP. He even cheerfully asked about who is the top and who is the bottom. This open attitude made the fans behind him exclaim in surprise.
However, each person can only interact with the members for a maximum of 9 seconds, and while chatting, the young lady quickly moved to the next member.
Facing Xu Tingchuan's cool and unapproachable face, this group fan and CP fan was not at all nervous and instead said boldly: "Brother Chuan, I also like to listen to heavy metal rock. The band 'Rock Immortal' is the coolest!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tingchuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his originally cold and gloomy face suddenly bloomed with the warmth of spring like a thawing glacier.
He smiled in recognition for the first time in a long time, "Well, you have good taste."
The girl didn't know how to be modest, she just laughed and said, "Of course!"
When the girl came to Mo Bei, her first words were: "Brother Nan, I heard that you are afraid of dogs. Is this true?"
Hearing this, Mo Bei, who was about to sign, suddenly stopped writing and gave an awkward but polite smile.
"Who told you that?"
A fan of the group and the couple: "Your friend said it online. He said that you and his Xiao Hei are not compatible."
Mo Bei lied calmly, "Of course it's fake. Dogs are so cute, how could I be afraid of them?"
The girl smiled when she heard that: "That's great, I'll show you a picture of my dog!"
As she spoke, the girl took out her phone and showed Mo Bei her Bichon Frise. Mo Bei was naturally not afraid of the puppy in the photo, and just kept praising the other party for being cute.
Watching the interaction between the two, Lei Lie on the side seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously looked at Mo Bei, with a hint of subtle suspicion in his eyes.
I remember that after the rehearsal for the third public performance, they came out of the underground parking lot and met a girl walking her dog. The little beagle kept barking "werwer" at them. When Mo Nan heard the dog barking, he froze and even hid behind them.
This doesn't look like someone who likes dogs, does it?
After the girl left, Lei Lie asked quietly: "Brother, are you really afraid of dogs?"
Mo Bei naturally didn't want to expose his weakness, so he just said stubbornly, "How is that possible?"
Lei Lie looked unconvinced.
However, Mo Bei didn't have much time to defend himself because the next fan came.
As she walked towards Jiang Mo Nan, Cai Shumin's heart was pounding. She clenched the small piece of paper and placed the poster on the table in front of him.
This was the first time she had such close contact with Jiang Mo Nan.
Previously, when she and Luo Xinyi had delivered breakfast to the contestants on behalf of the fan club, there had been a bus window between them. This time, there was nothing blocking the view; he sat right in front of her, separated by only a table. She could even see his long eyelashes and the lilac petals on his shirt collar.
Jiang Mo Nan raised his eyes and looked at her. At this moment, Cai Shumin's heartbeat slowed down a bit and her mind went blank.
Just like a dream, her favorite idol appeared right in front of her and even smiled at her.
In an instant, Cai Shumin forgot what he had prepared to say before going on stage, and just stood in front of the other party dryly.
"If you don't say something, the time will be up."
A familiar voice like a spring sounded in my ears. Although it sounded a little distant, it was still gentle.
Cai Shumin suddenly came back to his senses, and his disconnected brain came back online.
"I like you very much, and so does my friend! She can't come today, so she asked me to tell you that she wishes you a happy day!"
Hearing this, the person in front of him was stunned for a moment, then curled his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll remember that."
After signing his name on the poster, Mo Bei looked at the girl in front of him who seemed a little bewildered, and took the initiative to ask: "Do you want to take a photo together?"
Cai Shumin seemed to be enlightened in an instant and nodded hurriedly.
He pulled out his phone, turned on selfie mode, and pointed the camera at himself and Jiang Mo Nan. In the picture, the jade-like boy made a scissors hand gesture and smiled brightly.
Amid the envious exclamations of fans in the audience, Cai Shumin, after taking the photo, was dizzy and hurriedly left the stage holding the poster at the urging of the staff.
Just as she walked off the stage, she heard a sentence suddenly beside her ear——
"The buns last time were delicious. Thank you for always supporting me."
Upon hearing this, Cai Shumin paused.
She turned her head in disbelief and saw the other person looking at her with a smile.
He actually remembered her!
It had been nearly two months since we last met, and we had only met once, but he still remembered her!
For a moment, a sour emotion called touching suddenly rushed into my nose.
Cai Shumin tried her best to control the tears that were leaking from the corners of her eyes due to excitement, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise: "You're welcome."
"But the buns are quick-frozen, they're Five Grains and Harvest brand."
Looking at the girl's back as she left, Mo Bei was stunned and couldn't help laughing.
It turned out to be frozen buns.
Good times are always short-lived, and the two-hour autograph session ended quickly.
No matter how reluctant you are, it is time to say goodbye.
After saying their final goodbyes to the fans, the members hurriedly left the venue under the escort of security personnel.
Next, they need to fly to Shonan City to participate in the recording of the latest episode of the variety show "Beautiful Sunday", and then they will be busy going abroad to attend the second and third autograph sessions.
In addition to the autograph session, the members also had to find time to record a group variety show while abroad.
After the two overseas book signings, they will have to start preparing for their next comeback album. Meanwhile, the agency has already started arranging suitable variety shows and commercials for them. Besides the group schedule, the members also have to run their own individual schedules, so it can be said that they are very busy.
While the idols were busy working, fans attending the autograph session also uploaded the repo of the autograph session online.
Or take a photo, sign an autograph, or record a video.
Those fans who didn’t have the chance to go to the scene were even more jealous after watching it.
They are not envious at all, really.
