Tao Rui's request to fans not to gather became a hot topic after three days of fermentation.
A small number of keyboard warriors accused him of whining, not focusing on improving his professional skills, and constantly causing trouble. Isn't it just to get on the trending search list? Then they said that he couldn't control his fans, but he still enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by fans and being the center of attention.
By then, you will have earned a good reputation, won the love of fans, and gained popularity among passers-by.
Some people even have conspiracy theories, speculating that Tao Rui is recently competing for endorsements or scripts, so he needs to do something to enhance his presence, and it has to be something positive.
There were also fans of other idols who, seeing that Tao Rui had done such an outstanding event, which made their idols seem inactive, immediately became uncomfortable and began to sarcastically bet that Tao Rui was just talking and putting on a show.
Tao Rui's fans may quarrel among themselves, but they're united in public. Tao Rui asking them not to go to airport pickups or gatherings at events is a good thing, right? It actually helps maintain public order, which is a positive message. What's the deal with Panxia? What does it have to do with other people's fans?
They all jumped out to show off their presence, and even described Tao Rui as scheming. How could this be allowed?
They immediately stopped arguing and turned their attention to the outside world, attacking the keyboard warriors and other fans who had mocked them. Then, to their surprise, they discovered that passersby had a very positive reaction to the incident, with many actually praising Tao Rui for what he had done.
Another person shared a personal experience, saying that once, while walking next to a group of fans at the airport, they squeezed her so hard that her ticket fell off and she even had someone step on her. Although the fan immediately apologized profusely, she was still upset. If Tao Rui's appeal succeeds, she, as an ordinary passenger, will feel much more at ease.
Comments like this gradually emerged. Some people felt annoyed by the noise, some were carrying children and were afraid that they would be bumped by them, and some went to a venue for urgent matters but were surrounded by a bunch of fans and couldn't get in. In short, they all agreed very much with what Tao Rui did.
They don’t know what’s going on with idols in the entertainment industry, but from a purely casual perspective, they think Tao Rui did the right thing.
So the main trend of this hot search is actually praising Tao Rui.
As long as someone praises Tao Rui, the fans are happy. They don't think much of this incident anymore, because most fans don't go to the airport or gather in large numbers anyway.
They listed a few benefits of not gathering together, posted them on Tao Rui's Weibo super topic, and featured them for all fans to see. The outpouring of praise and support from passersby was especially rare, unprecedented. Many of Tao Rui's biggest fans urged fans to listen to him and not embarrass him.
On the two points of "listen to him" and "don't make things difficult for him", fans quickly reached a consensus and expressed their determination to the commentators that anyone who knowingly violates the rules is deliberately looking for trouble and discrediting Tao Rui, and will be labeled as a black fan and treated as an enemy!
Lao Qi had been worried since he received Tao Rui's message that morning, and only now that public opinion had settled did he feel a little relieved. He was particularly surprised by the positive reception from fans, and felt that Tao Rui's sudden move wasn't such a bad thing.
It just so happened that the production company of the ancient costume drama also responded and agreed to let Tao Rui go for an interview. However, because Tao Rui had refused before, they were already contacting two other people. Tao Rui might need to audition if he wanted to play the role, and the final casting would be determined based on the audition results.
Lao Qi agreed immediately. Tao Rui had said the audition was no problem after all. He thought, Tao Rui had done pretty well in commercials and on "Guess Better Than Me," so maybe he'd really been working on his acting during this time. He should be fine.
Even if the audition is unsuccessful, this can be a lesson for Tao Rui, telling him not to rush into anything and to cherish the opportunity.
Tao Rui was not surprised to hear the news. He simply responded and urged Lao Qi to arrange a singing and dancing teacher for him so that he could start learning as soon as possible.
In the past, Lao Qi had always urged the original owner to learn quickly and not let down on stage. This was the first time he had urged her, and it felt quite fresh. Strike while the iron is hot. The day after they returned from the fan meeting, Lao Qi took Tao Rui to the company to meet the teacher.
Tao Rui entered the elevator and was about to close the door when he heard someone outside shout, "Please wait a moment."
Xiao Zhu pressed the elevator button, and the person who walked in was the person who had been stepped on by the original owner, Cheng Xu, the original owner's former teammate.
Tao Rui took the initiative to smile at Cheng Xu, "What a coincidence? Let's have dinner together later? We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Cheng Xu glanced at Tao Rui strangely, then stood at the farthest position from him in the elevator and said coldly, "No, I'm busy."
Cheng Xu's assistant was also very indifferent to them. Initially, Cheng Xu was the vocal leader in the group, known for his best singing. During a performance, he had some issues with his vocal cords and had just undergone surgery, so he didn't sing well. Tao Rui seized on this opportunity, using Cheng Xu's slumps to justify his own mediocre singing skills, creating the impression that Cheng Xu was easily nervous on stage, even though he actually sang quite well.
Most people are forgetful. When Tao Rui debuted, his singing and dancing skills were average, but he always acted like he was working very hard. Later, when he got the chance, he would just wash it up like that. Gradually, many people began to think that his basic skills were pretty good. After all, if he worked so hard, he would definitely improve.
He profited, but Cheng Xu suffered. It was just a simple recovery period from surgery, but he was labeled a failure, with words like nervousness and unstable skills attached to it. Without any explanation, he was so angry that he never spoke to the original owner again.
This was also the target of Tao Rui's task of compensation. Fortunately, the original owner didn't catch anyone and bully them to death. Now he just needs to compensate each person slightly. For example, the brotherly interaction between him and Xiao Qin in the previous scene in the mountain village will be a big highlight after the broadcast. He also taught Lin Ya English pronunciation. All of this can be considered as compensation.
Tao Rui thought about it for a moment and felt that there was no way to compensate Cheng Xu for the time being, so he continued with a smile: "Then you are busy. When you are free in the future, let's go out for dinner together. Invite a few people from our group and keep in touch."
The elevator arrived, Tao Rui nodded to Cheng Xu and left with his men.
Cheng Xu frowned at his back and immediately pressed the close button. In his opinion, Tao Rui's sudden overture was probably another sign of hype, so of course he would stay as far away from him as possible.
Lao Qi looked back and admired Tao Rui's psychological quality. He could still greet people cheerfully even after cheating them, as if nothing had happened. Awesome.
He quickly took Tao Rui to the practice room, gave him some instructions, and left. If he stayed any longer, he might bump into someone else, so it was better to leave early to avoid any exciting scenes.
Tao Rui asked Xiao Zhu to find a place to rest, then he politely exchanged words with the teacher and asked the teacher to teach him the dance steps.
He had never learned to dance before, but at least the original owner had some basic skills. Even if they weren't perfect, he knew the basic moves. So the moves the teacher was teaching him weren't too difficult for him to understand, but executing them was a little harder.
He memorized the key points of each movement, and asked the teacher for permission to start the video recording, recording the teaching process, and letting the system remember it and remind him at any time.
So when he practiced next time, he kept hearing the system's voice.
[Brother Rui, raise your left arm a little higher.]
[Squat down with your right leg.]
【Open your arms a little more.】
[Hold your head high, chest out, turn your head...]
So what the dance teacher saw was that Tao Rui would quickly adjust every time he made a mistake. He was a little surprised that Tao Rui had actually memorized all the standards and didn't need him to say much. In the past, he had to repeat them many times, and teaching him once would make him exhausted.
After Tao Rui finished dancing, the teacher handed him a tissue with a smile and praised him, "Your dancing has improved a lot. Have you been practicing recently?"
Tao Rui wiped the sweat off his face and nodded, "Practice whenever you have time. It's a weak point, so practice more to improve. I've been in the industry for three years now, and if I don't make any progress I'll be eliminated."
The teacher immediately understood that most idols rely on their youth to become popular, and very few can truly remain popular. There are so many new and handsome young men every year, so why would people like someone who has not made any progress in three years since his debut?
This is indeed possible, after all, the original owner had been famous for over a decade. However, someone as good at playing as the original owner was probably rare in the entertainment industry, and the teacher certainly wouldn't have expected it. Tao Rui was just using this to explain his change.
He played back the video of himself dancing and asked, "Teacher, did I understand any of the moves wrong?"
"No, everything was standard. I just made a lot of mistakes. I definitely can't perform like this on stage. I need to practice more. It's only a few days before I go on stage, right?"
"Yes, I plan to practice hard at home. I happen to have some other work to do. I will come back to ask the teacher to check the results of my practice in five days." After Tao Rui confirmed that his movements were correct, he planned to go back and practice on his own. After all, he had mental space and could use one day as two days to strengthen his practice.
The teacher raised an eyebrow and agreed. But inside, he felt like the compliment was wasted. If he hadn't practiced well with the teacher for a few days, what could he possibly accomplish on his own? He was probably just being lazy again.
But he was a teacher hired by the company, and he could teach anyone. Since Tao Rui said so, he just had to listen.
Tao Rui later took singing lessons. Even though it was just one song, he still had to learn which position to pitch higher, which position to turn more smoothly, and which position to cut off crisply. Tao Rui recorded the lesson again and then asked Xiao Zhu to take him home.
By the time Lao Qi found out, he had already returned home.
Lao Qi called and said speechlessly, "You've only been studying for half a day and you're giving up? The performance is in less than seven days!"
Tao Rui picked out a pair of sportswear and said, "If you hadn't called, I would have already started training. Don't worry, I'm very dedicated to my career and won't do anything stupid. You should learn to trust me."
Old Qi didn't know what to say. Yes, he knew Tao Rui was incredibly dedicated to his career, as evidenced by the painstaking efforts he'd put into generating buzz over the past three years. But what was the point of trusting him?
Lao Qi tried to persuade Tao Rui for a while, but Tao Rui insisted on practicing at home. Lao Qi had no other options; Tao Rui was very opinionated about everything and had been disobeying him for a long time. He could only move up the teacher's checkup scheduled for five days to three days later, at least to see the results. If things didn't work out, there would still be time to remedy the situation.
To quickly end the topic, Tao Rui agreed without hesitation. He then entered a mental space and began to perform the dance over and over again. He conjured a wall of mirrors in his mental space, rehearsing each dance step in front of the mirror.
Although the things practiced in the mental space only work mentally and will not form muscle memory, this kind of practice can help him know where he is wrong, why he is wrong, and how to successfully achieve the standard, making actual practice much easier.
Sure enough, after he practiced in the mental space for 24 hours, when he came out to actually practice the dance steps, he only made two or three mistakes before successfully performing the standard movements!
Tao Rui danced tirelessly over and over again. When he was tired, he drank a glass of spiritual spring water. When he was hungry, he took out hot meals from the space and started eating. After eating, he rested for a while and continued dancing.
Even the most hardworking person in the world doesn't have the same privileges as him, who can drink a glass of spiritual spring water and be fully revived. Therefore, the effect of his practice is superb. He doesn't sleep at all. When he feels tired, he drinks spiritual spring water and then practices. After practicing for half an hour, all problems are gone. So when others are sleeping or resting, he is still practicing.
There is no such thing as a free gift in the world. Even a master like Tao Rui, who knows a lot, could only practice mechanically over and over again when he first came into contact with dance. It was just that his golden finger provided him with a lot of convenience.
Tao Rui practiced singing in the same way in his mental space, and continued to practice after he became familiar with it, practicing the pitch very accurately and mastering every little technique.
He practiced for three days and three nights. When he went to the company to have his teachers check, the two teachers were shocked.
Lao Qi also watched it in the practice room this time. After watching it, from his layman's perspective, he thought the performance was very good.
He secretly asked the two teachers, "How is Tao Rui doing? Can he perform on stage? Does he need more training?"
The two teachers looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. "How should I put it? He's much taller than when he came a few days ago. Did he go to see the teacher privately? If so, there's no need to hide it from us. It's okay."
Lao Qi quickly waved his hands and said, "No, he just practiced alone at home."
Another teacher said, "Maybe he's been working very hard lately. His performance today was better than any of his previous performances."
This made Lao Qi stunned, "Really?"
The two teachers nodded. "He still has a lot of room for improvement, but at least he's got that feeling. His singing and dancing are flawless, and there's a tendency for them to blend together. The songs and dances that top idols sing and do are all natural and inherently charming."
Tao Rui has a little bit of this feeling, even if it's just a little bit, but it's already very good and a big improvement for him. If he can improve on his charisma, it will add a lot of points to this stage."
Old Qi was pleasantly surprised to hear his teacher say such words. He had always thought Tao Rui was only taking the wrong path, unwilling to work hard on the right path, but he suddenly seemed to have a sudden realization and was motivated to make progress.
When Lao Qi and Tao Rui were having dinner, he kept glancing at him. Tao Rui said without even looking up, "What are you looking at? I have a flower on my face."
Lao Qi waved his hand. "Nothing. I'm just curious about why you've changed so much recently. If you have any ideas, tell me in advance. I'll have a plan."
You can't do things recklessly. If there is a mess, he will have to clean it up. He is almost going bald.
Tao Rui sighed, "When I went to Shanye Renjia, I discovered that Lin Ya was five years younger than me and still in high school, yet she had already won a prestigious award. I was twenty-two years old and had been in the industry for three years, so I thought I was quite young. But it turns out that Lin Ya is a child star, and she's been in the industry for ten years already. She's older, more experienced, and more professional than me."
Tao Rui shook his head. "I really felt the urgency of time. If I can't sing and dance as an idol, how many years can I be popular? If I don't hone my acting skills and can't make a transition, then I will just be left in the dust. I can't do anything else, so how will I live? If prices soar every year and I can't make money, won't my life become more and more miserable?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talking about houses and cars, I don’t have any of them now.”
Lao Qi and Xiao Zhu understood instantly that this was career anxiety, something they all had! It was rare that Tao Rui actually saw through it, knowing that if he continued like this, his popularity wouldn't last long.
They both nodded in agreement, and Lao Qi consoled them, "There's nothing you can do in this business. You can only work harder. Sometimes, even hard work doesn't guarantee rewards. Fortunately, your money can't buy a house in the capital, but you can still afford a small villa in a third- or fourth-tier city. If you lower your standards, you'll still be much better off than us. Don't worry too much."
"No, I can't accept lowering the standards. I have already thought about it and have a comprehensive career plan for the future. You just need to cooperate with me. By the way, when I am free, I plan to start another small business. If it develops well, it will also be an option." Tao Rui said while eating, very calmly, which sounded like a thunderbolt to Lao Qi and Xiao Zhu.
"What plan? Tell me so I can give you some advice."
"What kind of business do you want to start? Many celebrities have lost money in business. It's like a mountain between two different fields. You have to be careful."
Tao Rui shrugged. "It's just an idea for now. I'll tell you when I've made up my mind. Anyway, I'm going to focus on both acting and improving my singing and dancing skills. I'm determined to get this drama, and I have to shoot it well. Even if the show doesn't become a hit, I want everyone to see that my acting has improved a lot. I also want to participate in more singing and dancing programs. I want to release a song in two months, and at the latest next year, I want to hold a concert."
Lao Qi and Xiao Zhu looked at him silently, thinking he was daydreaming.
But everyone has dreams. If Tao Rui is truly anxious about the future and is working hard for his dreams, then that's definitely a good thing for them. Just don't stir up trouble like you did before and irritate them.
The two were delighted with Tao Rui's transformation and were truly grateful. Lao Qi even mentioned this to his colleagues after returning to the company. Everyone had already gotten the impression that Tao Rui was anxious about the future, but no one cared what he'd become.
Lao Qi told Tao Rui to practice hard. Of course, he couldn't neglect the audition for the ancient puppet show and had to read the script thoroughly.
The audition was held the day after the performance. Tao Rui had already read the script carefully and felt that there would be no problem.
Fortunately, the performance and audition were both held in Yanjing, otherwise he would have to catch a plane.
Tao Rui practiced singing and dancing at home for days and nights, countless times. Fortunately, he didn't get hurt anywhere, and his vocal cords didn't get tired. He was in excellent condition and his progress was remarkable.
In the middle, he also did a live broadcast and posted a selfie in sportswear.
When fans asked him what he was doing recently, Tao Rui answered truthfully: "I'm preparing for the stage. Isn't there a performance in a few days?"
[Is Ruirui practicing so hard? It will definitely look great when he does! !]
I'm really looking forward to Ruirui's performance. It's been a while since I've seen him sing and dance. I'm sure he'll wink at the camera!
Tao Rui chuckled, "What are you thinking about? No winks, only singing and dancing. I've been practicing for many days, and I'll give you a surprise when the time comes."
【I love it as long as Ruirui is on stage! 】
[Ruirui, don't feel pressured. I like you no matter what you are like!]
Tao Rui felt a toothache from being called "Rui Rui" and "Rui Rui" by them, and said, "How about we make a deal? From now on, we can all call him 'Brother Rui'."
[Hahaha why? Ruirui is feeling shy about being called by his nickname now that he's grown up? Okay, Rui, are you satisfied? Hahaha]
[Twenty-two years old really makes me grow up. This makes me laugh to death. Brother Rui, brother Rui, brother Rui, I’ll listen to you. From now on I’ll call you brother!]
[I heard that boys like being called brother. It's true. Brother Rui, whatever you say is what I will do.]
Tao Rui smiled and said, "If you really want to listen to me, then when you go to the venue to watch the show, please be careful and be safe. Those who are studying or working should not go. There are many such occasions, and there will be plenty of opportunities to see them in the future. One more thing, those who are not going to the venue are not allowed to gather outside."
[We know! Anyone gathering outside is a hater, and we're keeping an eye on them!]
[Why is Brother Rui asking so much of us now? I’m not happy]
[Wow, I have an exam and can't go. Brother Rui, you said there are plenty of opportunities. I want more stages in the future.]
"Don't worry, didn't I promise you that I would let you see me more often? I'm working hard, and you'll have more opportunities to see me in the future.
Are you upset because I only asked a little of you? Think about how much you asked of me. Besides, I've been in the industry for three years now, so of course I need to seek breakthroughs and make some changes. You have to become better with me, good friends, and walk together, otherwise, won't you be left behind?
[This... seems to be correct.]
[Okay, your request is not difficult to achieve anyway]
[You're so willful, but... of course we'll cooperate with you.]
Tao Rui propped his chin up with one hand and joked to the camera, "You guys really need to work hard, otherwise when I hold a concert or my movie comes out, you won't have money to buy tickets. When my TV series comes out, you won't have money to buy VIP tickets either. Ha, isn't that embarrassing?"
[…Brother Rui has learned to criticize fans. I'm working part-time to pay for my studies and am already saving money. Do you dare to hold a concert soon?]
[Start saving money now. I'll go to all your shows. If you can, I'll organize a tour!]
[Everything we said must be kept. We must remember it. We can’t afford to lose exposure!]
As Tao Rui's style of drawing changed, his fans' style of drawing also changed unconsciously. Maybe they themselves didn't realize it, but they did start to have fun with Tao Rui, and their style became more lively and active, instead of the robotic brother who was always right like before.
Tao Rui was delighted with this change. After work, he practiced frantically again, even finding time to rehearse with his dancers. When Xiao Zhu came to help him clean up the house, she was shocked by his enthusiasm for practice. She couldn't understand why he was suddenly so passionate about singing and dancing. Hadn't he always been perfunctory in the past, making excuses to get by?
Finally, the day of the performance arrived. It was a celebrity gala hosted by a well-known livestreaming platform. First, the stars walked the red carpet, signed on a signboard, and allowed the media to snap some photos. The host then gave a few interviews before they entered the venue. Once everyone was inside, the performances began one by one, and finally, some awards were presented.
The original owner, of course, had no money and still had access to high-end custom-made clothes. He always had to ask the designer to slightly modify the clothes according to his body shape, in order to show off his good figure. Lao Qi was always troubled by these things. Because after the party, Tao Rui would definitely outshine the other idols.
Although outshining others is usually something that some female stars do, there is also a competition among male stars to see who is more handsome and who is less handsome. Tao Rui always creates press releases saying that he is more handsome and makes others look dull, thus attracting fans who like him again and again.
However, this time Tao Rui didn't let Lao Qi worry. He directly found a high-end suit without any logo from the space. The tailored suit perfectly set off his figure and gave off the image of a nobleman. It was not too steady and not too youthful. It directly raised his appearance from 100% to 120%!
When Lao Qi saw him, his eyes widened. He walked around him and asked, "Where did you borrow that suit?"
"I bought it. It's a random brand. Let's go." Tao Rui got out of the car and walked towards the red carpet. He has always had a good aesthetic sense, and with the confidence revealed in his every move, he had an indescribable temperament. He attracted all the attention as soon as he appeared.
Many fans were waiting in front of the red carpet, and when they saw him they immediately screamed: "Brother Rui--"
Tao Rui heard it, smiled at them, then made a gesture to keep quiet. When taking the photo, he turned towards them so that they could capture his face.
The host said, "Wow, Xiao Rui looks very handsome today. I heard that Xiao Rui has also prepared well for tonight's stage, right?"
Tao Rui nodded. "I've had some insights lately. I think it's like a sudden enlightenment, so I've been practicing harder, hoping to make a breakthrough."
The host said with a smile, "It seems that Xiao Rui is very confident today. He looks a little different than before. Is it because his birthday is coming up soon? He has become more stable after growing another year older."
Tao Rui explained, "Maybe that's the reason. One day, I suddenly made plans for the future and felt that many aspects should be changed for the better. I guess I just wanted everyone to see my growth."
"I believe everyone will see your growth, so I'm here to wish you all the best. Okay, please invite Xiao Rui in first. I look forward to your wonderful performance tonight."
"Thank you." Tao Rui smiled, waved to the fans, and strode into the venue.
Fans all knew that Tao Rui liked them to be quiet now, so they found their seats after entering the venue and sat down. They reminded each other not to scream except during the performance, and to communicate in a low voice. They were out of tune with other fans, causing other fans to look at them several times.
Of course, they still brought their light boards. The original owner once said that he liked the colors of the blue sky and the sea, so the fans chose blue as the support color for him.
Many people in the entertainment industry use blue as their support color, but there's no way around it; they'd clash with other colors. They could only vary the shade, trying to create a different blue from everyone else. Tao Rui's name was written on a large sign. Because Tao Rui didn't allow fans to wait outside, many more people entered the venue this time than usual. At first glance, the sign looked quite impressive.
In the words of fans, even if they lost in terms of the number of people gathered outside, they couldn’t lose in terms of the light boards in the venue.
Several groups of fans gathered outside, all holding light boards, flags, banners and the like. Now Tao Rui's fans were sitting in the venue, looking at Tao Rui in the front seat, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.
They're meeting their idols through legitimate channels, avoiding causing trouble for security. And that way, the idols will be happy to see them on stage. They should do this in the future. Whoever wants to gather can go, but they're not going anyway.
Tao Rui left the stage midway to change his clothes and prepare to go on stage. While waiting, he asked Xiao Zhu for his phone and took a picture of fans holding blue light signs. It looked like an ocean with Tao Rui's name written all over it.
The music started, Tao Rui started singing, and walked to the center of the stage with a group of dancers.
The original singer had a beautiful voice, and now Tao Rui had honed his pitch and sung the song thousands of times, making it incredibly natural and effortless. For fans accustomed to the original singer's vocals, it instantly felt crisp and clear, incredibly stunning! The crowd erupted in enthusiastic screams!
Most people don’t remember what Tao Rui was like before, but just this time, everyone’s impression of him is that he’s not bad.
Tao Rui began to sing and dance enthusiastically, singing and dancing without even getting out of breath, and every move was on point, crisp and clear, inexplicably handsome. Especially the little movements he added besides dancing, such as tilting his head, moving his fingers, and sliding his feet, greatly increased his charm!
Fans scream like crazy, but they often try to control themselves from screaming because they don't want to miss every line their idol sings or every move they make. But sometimes they really can't help themselves. Look, he's sliding backwards and tilting his head to look over here again. Ahhhh, I can't help but scream!
Any pleasing picture will be loved, and any pleasant sound will also be loved. Tao Rui combines the two perfectly. Maybe he is still a beginner in singing and dancing, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, but he is very familiar with exuding his own charm. At the end, a cool expression triggered a new round of screams.
When Tao Rui left the stage, Lao Qi was truly relieved. He had never imagined that Tao Rui would ever be able to perform so well on stage. The lyrics were spot-on, the vocals were on point, the dancing was exceptional, and most importantly, his charm was unmatched. He wasn't being overly boastful; he truly thought Tao Rui's performance was the best of the night. Even if there were other performances to come, he would still have thought so. It was absolutely amazing; it felt like it was blowing up the house!
Tao Rui had been hearing Lao Qi praising him since he left the stage, so he knew he had performed well. He quickly removed his heavy makeup, changed back into his original attire, and prepared to return to the stage.
Lao Qi was stunned and said, "You don't have to go back. You won't be involved in the awards ceremony later anyway. We can leave now. Many artists have already left."
Tao Rui straightened his clothes in front of the mirror. "I've figured it out. I owe everything I have today to my fans, so they're the ones I should cherish the most. They spent so much money on this ticket, just to see me. Is it too much of a loss to just watch one song on stage? Anyway, they're happy just to see me, so I'll just sit there until the show is over."
Lao Qi and Xiao Zhu were stunned and said nothing. They watched Tao Rui walk out quickly and sit back in his original seat, looking to the left or right from time to time, just to let the fans behind him see his profile.
I have to say, if they were his fans, they would be happy too.
They were both speechless. They felt that Tao Rui must have been going through some personal issues, which was why he was overthinking so much. His anxiety about the future, his fans' feelings, his career plans—all changed because of all that thought.
But since Tao Rui didn't say anything, they wouldn't ask. Anyway, they were all working with Tao Rui. As long as Tao Rui was getting better and there were no negative developments, everything would be fine.
The fans hadn't expected Tao Rui to come back, which made them all very happy. By the time the show was over, most of the stars had already left, leaving many seats empty. Only Tao Rui, who hadn't received an award, sat until the very end. The other stars and organizers had no idea what he was doing there.
When leaving, Tao Rui turned around when he reached the door, waved and smiled at the fans who had been looking at him.
"Ah - Brother Rui!!!" the fans were very excited.
Tao Rui waved again with his back to them and really left.
Another fan nearby saw this and muttered unhappily, "What kind of show is this? Who would stay until the end like him, deliberately trying to curry favor with the fans?"
One of Tao Rui's fans heard this and turned to start a fight, but another one held her back, smiling and saying, "Be happy today. Don't let Brother Rui see any negative news. If a dog bites you, can you bite it back? Let's go! Let's go have a big meal!"
"Let's go! Let's go have a good meal together, sisters. We're having a great time today!"
They acted as if they were ignoring everyone, and the person couldn't argue even though he wanted to. He said, "Who are you calling a dog?" but no one paid any attention. Then someone else pulled him back. After all, it was her who spoke rudely, and there was no point in making a big fuss.
Tao Rui's fans left the venue very quickly and were particularly careful not to leave any garbage behind.
Ever since Tao Rui's call for people not to gather was praised by passers-by, they have consciously paid attention to many things. When a big fan calls for help, everyone responds and tries to do their best in every aspect to make Tao Rui proud.
Some of them went to a dinner party, some went back to the hotel to rest, and some rushed to take the subway back to school. Not long after, they all received a special reminder at the same time. It was a reminder posted by Tao Rui on Weibo.
Tao Rui posted a photo, which showed a blue sea with Tao Rui written on it in the venue. I don’t know how the photo was taken, but the blue looked particularly beautiful, and it seemed that you could faintly see their smiles through the blue.
Tao Rui's Weibo post reads: "Thank you for coming to see this show. I hope you enjoy it. Go home early, stay safe, and remember to report back."
