There are many stars gathered backstage at a certain Spring Festival Gala.
It can be said that this backstage contains half of the entertainment industry.
The upstairs of this building is a private area and no one can enter without an invitation.
Xu Xingzhi had dyed his blond hair black, and was wearing a custom-made black suit. He sat lazily on the sofa with his legs crossed.
He held the phone in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking about, and didn't move for a long time.
There were knocks on the dressing room door a few times. "Brother Xu, we're coming in."
The staff member walked towards Xu Xingzhi with an apologetic and grateful look on his face, followed by a group of young and handsome men in suits.
"Brother Xu, this is the group. Due to high fan demand, one guest couldn't come at the last minute. The director added them on short notice, but there are so many of them that there's no room downstairs for makeup. So, I'd like to borrow your space. I'll come over to do their makeup once the makeup artist is done. Thank you, Brother Xu, and I'm sorry for the trouble."
"Yeah, it's okay."
The members of the team behind were all waiting obediently for their arrangements. After hearing what the staff said, they tacitly bowed to Xu Xingzhi and said, "Thank you, Brother Xu."
Xu Xingzhi looked up from his phone, crossed his legs, and nodded at them. "Hello, please take a seat."
After saying that, he took a casual look and found that he was taking up some space on the sofa, so he stood up and sat on the single sofa.
There were 11 men in the boy band. After the staff left, everyone looked at each other and the captain said, "Everyone, sit down."
Everyone sat down cautiously, not daring to chat freely.
Xu Xingzhi noticed everyone's awkwardness and stood up. "Everyone, please be more relaxed. What's the show tonight?"
As soon as everyone saw him stand up, they all stood up hurriedly, looked at Xu Xingzhi with eyes full of admiration and envy, and answered actively one by one.
“We performed the theme song, singing and dancing.”
Xu Xingzhi nodded in understanding. He knew this boy band was very popular, but this was their first time meeting. "Then don't be so reserved. Move around a bit. Don't be so stiff. This place is for you."
After saying that, he walked out and closed the door behind him.
Everyone seemed to relax at once, "Huh, Xia Xu!!"
"Is this the aura of a top star? When will we ever get to this point!!"
"Not only is he a top star, but I've heard from some long-timers that he has great resources behind him. Otherwise, do you think anyone can just come here casually? Look at those top stars below, who has the chance to come up here?"
"Isn't this kind of life what I've always dreamed of? I didn't expect him to be such a nice person."
"Don't you think he's handsome? He looks like a nobleman."
"He's actually even more handsome than he looks online. That senior I just bumped into downstairs, wow, I almost didn't recognize him."
Xu Xingzhi stood in front of the window with his mobile phone in hand, looking at the endless stream of vehicles outside even on New Year's Eve.
He didn't know what he was expecting, but it was nothing he was expecting anyway.
Then he sighed resignedly, opened WeChat and sent a message.
Xu Xingzhi: Happy New Year.
Leng Leng sat alone by the fire pit, scrolling through his phone boredly.
Her father came in noisily with his two children and handed her a red banknote with a smile, "Here, this is your New Year's money."
The two children proudly held up the banknotes in their hands and said, "Look, this is mine."
Leng Leng smiled and took it, "Thank you, Dad. I wish you a happy new year and good health."
Leng Ling's father, Leng Shaojun, was rather honest and just laughed it off.
A tall figure walked in. It was Leng Jun, Leng Leng's elder brother. "Come, I'll give out red envelopes too."
The two children happily jumped on their father, "Ah, mine!"
After Leng Jun distributed the tickets to the two children, he took out two and handed them to Leng Leng, "This is yours."
Leng Leng took it with a smile.
"Dad, why does Auntie have an extra hundred? I want one too." The little nephew pleaded with his father for money.
Leng Jun smiled and placed his big palm on his son's head, "One hundred for a dollhouse, and two hundred for an adult."
"Oh. Then you still have two in your hand, one for me and one for my sister."
Leng Jun smiled happily, "This is your mother's."
"Okay~"
Several people were clamoring and walking out, and Leng Leng was the only one left.
Looking at the three hundred yuan in his hand, Leng Leng felt warm in his heart, but more sour and guilty.
People of her age are either studying for a master's degree or have already started working.
Who is like her and can't even afford a red envelope of a few hundred yuan?
I've been live streaming for so long, but I haven't even made 200 yuan. Because I don't know how to act cute, flatter, or lie.
She felt completely useless, without a job and unable to pass the postgraduate entrance exam. Others, however, found work in factories, where at least the salary was quite high.
I used to be self-righteous and thought I had gotten into a good university, but I didn’t expect that I would end up like this and become a debtor because of being cheated.
She refused the class reunion after the New Year without hesitation.
Putting the money in his pocket, Leng Leng decided not to think about it anymore. It had already happened, and being depressed and blaming himself would be of no use.
Leng Leng turned on the phone again and saw the message on the status bar, and his heart suddenly sank.
Xu Xingzhi: Happy New Year.
Her heart began to beat wildly and she didn't dare to click it.
Is he a mass sender?
Or send it to her alone?
If it was a group message, no, given his personality, how could he be so bored as to send a group message? Besides, he should be backstage at the Spring Festival Gala right now, so how could he have the patience to send a group message? Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to reply to all the messages?
