Chapter 193 Behind the Stage
When enthusiastic cheers rang out all around, Lin Xiaolu had to cover her ears with her hands to block out the deafening shouts.
God have mercy on her, she had never attended an event of this level before. The roaring music from the venue's speakers and the deafening voices around her combined were more than her ears could bear.
Unlike her, Jiang Yuan beside her has completely integrated into the group of fans, waving her light sticks in an orderly manner and singing loudly to the music on the stage. What is even more eye-catching is that she can sing along with every song since the concert started, which shows that she is obviously a loyal fan.
Lin Xiaolu's friend's enthusiastic performance discouraged her from talking to him. It was not a wise move to disturb others when they were full of passion. The best way to avoid spoiling others' mood was to shut up.
Looking around in silence at the excited crowd, Lin Xiaolu suddenly felt a little lonely.
She was neither a fan nor a fan, and she looked so abrupt and weird standing in the crowd, as if she shouldn't be there.
She couldn't help but feel a little regretful, thinking that she shouldn't have come here just for the theme song of "Colorful Sky Angel". Especially since the song she wanted to listen to hadn't arrived yet, and the unfamiliar songs were hard to listen to quietly because of the noisy environment, making it difficult for her to enjoy the performance.
It's not that there's anything wrong with the concert itself. In fact, even if Lin Xiaolu is not a fan of the singer "Masao Yuanxiang", it doesn't affect her feeling the solid singing skills of the singer from the song. It's just that she really can't get into it today.
——I don't know how the Delphiniums are doing. If they are not fans either, can they fit into this concert? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have such thoughts.
Rather, even now, she was curious about why Delphinium came here.
A few days ago, when she revealed to Delphinium that she was going to attend a concert, Delphinium announced for the first time that the patrol schedule would be changed and offered to let the entire team go together.
Such a strange decision could not help but make the girls feel strange, but no matter how they asked, the answer they got was just "you will know when you get there", and there was no further information at all.
If it were just that it would be fine, but what is confusing is that when Lin Xiaolu was still confused about this, Xia Liang and Bai Jingxuan already looked as if they were thinking about something, or even understood something.
Lin Xiaolu is always willing to ask questions and resolve doubts about things that she cares about. But when she asked Xia Liang what he guessed, she only got a mysterious smile and the annoying riddle of "I'm not sure so I can't say anything, just have fun with your friends."
It's as if no one cares. If you don't want to say it, I don't want to ask either.
When she thought of this, Lin Xiaolu's already low mood suddenly became even worse. After criticizing Xia Liang in her heart, she put aside her messy emotions and decided to leave the venue temporarily to go out and relax.
Lin Xiaolu left her seat under the pretext of going to the restroom, trotted out of the venue, stood against the wall in the aisle, and then let out a long sigh of relief.
With a wall between us, the sound from the speakers wasn't so harsh after all.
She first stood there blankly for a while, her mind empty. When the numbness in her eardrum recovered a little, she found a nearby vending machine and bought two bottles of drinking water.
The vending machine in the secluded corner has become a rare safe haven from the noise. The deafening sound can be transmitted here through the wall, but it seems like the noise from another world.
He took out the drinking water and put one of the bottles under his armpit, preparing to take it back for Jiang Yuan to drink. Lin Xiaolu unscrewed the cap of the other bottle. The mouth of the bottle touched her lips and teeth, and the clear water flowed through her mouth, making her much more sober.
After standing in silence for a while, thinking about when she should go back, Lin Xiaolu wasted more than ten minutes, and the songs in the venue changed one after another. Seeing that the concert was about to be halfway through, it would be unreasonable not to go back, so she reluctantly took the steps towards the venue.
However, before she took two steps, she heard a commotion coming from the aisle beside her:
——“So, why do we have to wait until the concert is over before we leave? We’ve already had so many shows, why would we miss this one?” said a girl’s voice that sounded a little shrill.
"It's not a matter of show time. It's because today's concert is the last stop of the tour and has a different meaning." Another female voice that sounded somewhat calm answered.
"What's the point? Just the last show? Will there be champagne after it's over?"
"That's not the case..."
"What else could that mean, just because Fangting City is her hometown?"
"No, to be exact, the teacher's hometown is not Fangting City."
"That's it. I have an important opportunity and date coming up. Don't try to ruin my plans!"
This incoherent conversation piqued Lin Xiaolu's interest. It seemed that someone in the conversation was just as unwilling to stay here as she was. The inexplicable resonance made her deviate slightly from her original steps towards the venue, and she followed the sound deeper into the corridor.
Then, she saw three young-looking girls gathered together and talking about something.
The reason why they are young is mainly because these girls have very young faces, and are generally about the same age as Lin Xiaolu. They are all wearing the same bright yellow T-shirts - this seems to be the uniform of the concert venue staff. I don't know why there are such young staff here.
The noise had come from two of the three girls. The shortest one, who looked two years younger than Lin Xiaolu, was the one who was clamoring to leave. The girl had short blond hair that was slightly past her shoulders, and her slightly parted bangs revealed her big forehead. She was now standing with her hands on her hips, looking aggressive, as if she was going to call someone to task.
The other girl was wearing glasses and looked to be the oldest among the group. She had an intellectual and calm temperament and was patiently advising the blonde girl.
As for the last girl, she obviously didn't say a word from the beginning, just watching everything happening in front of her in a sullen manner. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, judging only by the sound of the conversation, Lin Xiaolu wouldn't have guessed that there was another person here.
——So what do they do?
Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but wonder.
Although they were called fans, these girls didn't even want to stay in the venue. Like me, they hid in the aisles of the stadium during the concert. It was obvious that they were not the kind of people who could enjoy the concert.
Although they are called staff members, they don’t look that old at all. Moreover, the concert is going on right now and the staff members should be extremely busy. How could they have time to chat here?
The most important thing is, why did she feel that the blonde girl looked familiar? It was as if she had seen her somewhere before.
When Lin Xiaolu looked at the group of people in front of her with confusion, the girls who were originally talking also noticed Lin Xiaolu's presence, stopped talking for a moment, and looked in her direction.
None of the four spoke for a while, and they remained in a strange silence in the corridor.
The three girls probably thought that Lin Xiaolu was just passing by, so they wanted to keep silent for the time being and wait for Lin Xiaolu to pass. However, they didn't expect that the other party had no intention of leaving at all, but just stood there watching in a swagger.
This fruitless stalemate was finally broken by the girl wearing glasses.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
She changed her attitude abruptly, from her previous calmness and seriousness, and asked Lin Xiaolu in a friendly manner: "My dear, are you lost?"
But her question did not receive a corresponding answer, because Lin Xiaolu was frowning and staring at the blonde girl beside her.
The undisguised gaze naturally attracted the attention of the three girls. They also realized who Lin Xiaolu was looking at, so the other two also focused their attention on the blonde girl.
"Looking for you?" asked the girl wearing glasses.
"Looking for me?" The blonde girl also looked confused.
"Looking for you." The taciturn girl suddenly confirmed.
"What do you want from me?"
The blonde girl blinked, turned her head and looked at Lin Xiaolu, and asked in confusion: "Is there something on my face?"
"…I have a strange feeling."
After staring at the other person's face for a long time, Lin Xiaolu slowly asked, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"
"ha?"
The blonde girl was stunned.
The girl with glasses next to her pushed the lenses on her nose for some unknown reason.
The taciturn girl, who hadn't said a word for a long time, widened her eyes in surprise.
“…Is this a flirt?”
"This seems like a possible hookup."
"I, I've heard of this kind of pick-up technique. My sister told me about it before..."
They gathered together and whispered to each other, turning back to look at Lin Xiaolu from time to time, but they didn't come up with anything after a long time of discussion. The conversation ended in meaningless sighs.
In the end, it was the blonde girl who noticed something was wrong during the discussion. After she looked at Lin Xiaolu again and again, she suddenly had a feeling that she had indeed seen her somewhere before.
She told the other two her thoughts, which immediately caused another round of exclamations.
"Do you feel the same way?"
The girl with glasses looked back and forth between Lin Xiaolu and the blonde girl, a little confused: "Why is this?"
"Yes, it was love at first sight!"
The taciturn girl stammered, but said seriously: "I, I heard from my sister that this kind of situation is usually called love at first sight! It's a fateful encounter!"
I worked overtime like crazy in the past week, and I went to the company on weekends. I had no time to write, and I was so tired when I got home that I had no thoughts at all. In fact, it was no problem to write according to the outline, and I really wanted to update it every day, so I didn't ask for leave, but I was not satisfied with the result of the writing. I was groggy in the middle of the night and gave up. I'm very sorry.
Then I tried hard to get back into the writing state and try to stabilize the updates. The next story is actually very interesting, and I have to present it well to everyone.
Thanks to book friends Tengshe Lieyun, dahuangfgd, and 140930191734078 for giving rewards during this period. I am really grateful and sorry. I would like to thank all the readers who have supported and waited patiently. Thank you.
