Chapter 206 Not That Bad (Ending 1)
The online audience was discussing the matter heatedly, and offline, the concert had also reached its final stage.
In the dressing room, Cang Zizhen was busy changing clothes and putting on pants, Qiu Yuge was standing nearby doing the final touches of makeup, Zhu Xiangming was breathing in and out to adjust his breathing, Bai You was still fixing his hair that had been messed up when he changed clothes just now, Yin Hongxue had already finished her makeup and was now standing in front of the TV watching the previous replay.
A VCR is playing on the big screen, from their debut to the end of the group variety show that aired not long ago. The carefully edited VCR is warm and lyrical, and each scene reflects every bit of the past four years.
Lu Yao stood at the door of the lounge. If he didn't wear an earphone, he could clearly hear the cheers in the stadium from here.
At the moment the VCR ended, a uniform shout accompanied by drum beats sounded.
"Fifth Quadrant!"
"Fifth Quadrant!"
"Fifth Quadrant—"
One after another, they came like waves.
The newly hired makeup apprentice stopped what she was doing in surprise and couldn't help but look back. The sound could be heard so clearly in the backstage, so how loud and consistent the shouting must be in the front.
Then she was given a glare by the makeup artist and quickly came back to her senses and continued working.
He frantically fixed his subordinate's hair.
And Cang Zizhen finally changed her clothes. As soon as she came out of the dressing room, the makeup artists rushed over to her.
Adjusting the hairstyle, fixing the hair, changing the makeup, and bringing the microphone, several people surrounded her without stopping.
Although time was tight, everyone was busy but orderly. Coupled with the countdown coming from the walkie-talkie from time to time, there was a sense of beauty like the operation of precise gears.
Everything flows smoothly and fits perfectly.
When the drum beat fell heavily for the last time, the lights on the stage suddenly came on. Six people stood on the stage. Under the spotlight, there were only six blurry shadows.
The neat shouting ended and turned into excited cheers. Amid the screams, soothing music sounded and the venue was lit up with glow sticks, like a vast galaxy.
"I regret it."
When the music slowed down for a moment, Song Rui heard the voice of Shen Sisi beside her.
"Hmm?" Song Rui leaned over. "What is it?"
The music grew louder, and Song Rui saw Shen Sisi open her mouth to say something, but she couldn't hear clearly.
Shen Sisi repeated it again, but Song Rui still didn't hear it clearly.
Shen Sisi was at her wit's end and had to lean over to Song Rui's ear and yell, "I should have come to the concert earlier! The atmosphere is so great! Everyone is so great! Lu Yao is absolutely irresistible!"
After listening to this, Song Rui looked at Shen Sisi's excited face and excited eyes, and nodded heavily.
"Yeah! They're so enthusiastic at concerts!"
"Sing and dance as hard as you can, it feels like you're going to break through the ceiling!"
The passionate performance on the stage, the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, the short few hours of the concert are a moment to completely leave reality and plunge into a grand carnival.
There are no troubles in life, no unreasonable quarrels on the Internet, only the purest sincerity and fresh vitality.
"Next, it's our last song." Qiu Yuge spoke into the microphone, his voice still panting: "Because of you!"
"Can everyone sing together?"
He raised the microphone to the audience, and a uniform response came from all around.
"good--"
The central control glow stick was turned pink, and the support color of the Fifth Quadrant group lit up, turning the night into a pink color.
Everyone on the stage was wearing pink T-shirts with colorful paintings on them and cute decorations on them. There were also furry dolls hanging on their belts, jumping around on the stage.
When Lu Yao approached the edge of the stage, Shen Sisi could even see his hair fluttering and the smile flashing in his eyes.
She couldn't help but wave her glow stick and sang the group's fan song for the first time.
"Because of you, the world becomes sunny
Ordinary days also have light.”
"Because you are brave and have a direction
Even if I stumble, I won’t give in.”
When Lu Yao extended his microphone to them, Shen Sisi sang the last lyrics at the top of her voice.
“Maybe the future is still far away
But I will always be by your side"
The final ending was still echoing, and the six people on the stage had already walked to the center of the stage. They faced everyone in the audience, bowed deeply, stood up and waved, and under the gaze of everyone, slowly walked towards the open big screen.
The dazzling lights engulfed their figures, and the music came to an end when the big screen closed.
Through the narrow gap, you can see pairs of waving hands.
Shen Sisi also waved, and she didn't stop until the lights in the venue came on.
"Huh, it's over... Let's pack up and go, we still have to go eat hotpot next - no, why are you crying like this?" Song Rui put the camera halfway and turned around, she saw Shen Sisi beside her crying like a tearful person at some point, her eye makeup was smudged, there was no trace of the exquisite beauty she looked like before the show started.
"Hurry up and wipe it." Song Rui hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag and stuffed it into Shen Sisi's hand, then put her hand on her back and patted her gently, "It's okay, it's okay. Ouch, your makeup is all smudged."
Shen Sisi sobbed and wiped her tears, then opened her misty eyes and asked Song Rui: "Am I ugly now?"
"Uh——" This is a fatal question, how should she answer?
Song Rui hesitated and hesitated, and before she could say anything, Shen Sisi understood.
She took out her cell phone, turned on the camera and pointed it at herself. When she looked at it, she was frightened by the woman with two panda eyes and a messy face on the screen.
"Ah!" She suddenly put down her phone, unable to believe that she had just sang in the chorus in front of Lu Yao with this face.
It's so scary.
"It's okay, it's okay. There are so many people in the audience, how could he see one person clearly..." Shen Sisi whispered to comfort herself, but then she remembered Lu Yao's eyesight which was about 5.5 points and could be called eagle eyes... She could see Lu Yao clearly, so how could Lu Yao not see them in the audience?
Thinking of this, Shen Sisi cried even louder.
Song Rui didn't expect that after it was over, Shen Sisi cried even harder. After trying to persuade her for a long time, she finally understood what she was worried about from her sobbing response, and then she stopped comforting her.
"Ah, this... Lu Yao can indeed see..." After following so many concerts, Song Rui deeply realized that Lu Yao's eyesight was not exaggerated at all, his eyesight was really good.
What should I do if someone sees me looking miserable?
Now Song Rui really didn't know how to comfort her.
If it were her, she would also be devastated, okay!
The two of them hesitated in their seats for a long time. Shen Sisi finally accepted the reality and began to pack up her things in despair to leave.
Despite the delay, the exit was still completely blocked.
Everyone was holding a camera and carrying large and small bags. The aisle was completely occupied. If the person in front didn't move, the person behind would hardly have room to move.
Among this group of girls who were standing still, unable to move forward or backward, Shen Sisi looked around and saw several girls who looked as embarrassed as she did, and her mood immediately improved.
It's not so sad knowing that I'm not alone.
When the two finally left and took a taxi to the hot pot restaurant, it was almost midnight, but the hot pot restaurant was still crowded with beautiful girls carrying large and small bags.
There are not many restaurants open late at night. Song Rui and Shen Sisi will come to this hot pot restaurant, and of course other people will come as well.
There were excited voices all around her. Shen Sisi just listened and heard a familiar name. She couldn't help but smile when she heard the excited screams around her.
From time to time, someone came over carrying something, and when they saw the name tag on Shen Sisi, they handed her one without saying a word, and then gave one to Song Rui.
Soon, the two people's desks were piled high with things.
There are transparent fans, time-clock sticks, non-woven fabrics... colorful and different, but the same thing is that they are all equally cute.
Shen Sisi was somewhat fascinated by this atmosphere where there was not much talk but both parties knew what the other was thinking.
She had been communicating over the Internet for too long and had been swept up in the will of the group for too long, and she had forgotten that everyone offline was actually the same girl.
"I think the Fifth Regiment will definitely not fly alone." Shen Sisi suddenly said.
Song Rui was busy picking beef from the pot, and was a little unresponsive when she heard Shen Sisi's words: "Huh?"
"Everyone was so united on stage today, it's impossible for them to go solo."
Song Rui finally understood. "You really believe they're going solo? Impossible." She put down her chopsticks and said confidently, "You've never been to their concerts, so you don't know how passionate and united they really are on stage."
"They may have been getting used to it in the first year, but then they got better and better."
"When I watched it offline, I could really feel the tacit understanding between them and the power of being together. You can't feel this kind of feeling by watching the concert video. Only when you are in person, can you feel this kind of atmosphere."
"They are getting better and better, we are getting better and better, and the Fifth Regiment will also get better and better."
"Yeah." Shen Sisi nodded as she listened. Although she felt that one of the sentences in the middle seemed to be directed at her, when she watched the video before, she would indeed only stare at Lu Yao. Any slight movement would be constantly focused on by her eyes, and her brain would constantly analyze it, and then it would become evidence of Lu Yao's pain in the group, the company's exploitation, and the exclusion of other members.
but……
"I've never seen him so happy." It's not a smile for effect in front of the camera, nor is it an exquisite and beautiful smile during filming, but a smile that is so unrestrained and contagious that people can't help but laugh along.
Did she see Lu Yao smile like this when she attended the Fifth Generation concert before?
It has been so long, and Shen Sisi seems to be able to find some fragments from her remaining memories, but these fragments have all been thrown away by her in the past few years.
"Let's go and see the fifth anniversary together next year." Shen Sisi made an invitation.
Song Rui's eyes lit up and she nodded heavily: "Okay!"
Across the rising mist, the two people laughed at the same time.
There are people around who have never communicated with each other but are discussing the same topic. It is a lively hot pot and a burning passion.
For the first time, Shen Sisi sincerely felt that this combination that she had always disliked didn't seem so bad.
