Chapter 265 "Tu Xiaomao!"
"You don't even know who Tu Chaoxi is?"
A chorus of shocked questions erupted from those around them.
Tu Yao was so frightened that she quickly took a step back.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
A group of teenagers immediately surrounded her, questioning incredulously why she didn't know Tu Chaoxi, while explaining the facts to her.
"Tu Chaoxi is a top-tier, all-around original singer-songwriter. He and his team are so popular overseas that they just came back from winning an award last month!"
"Not only is he amazing, but his two younger brothers are too! Nan Ke is going on tour in China next month, right?"
“My sister is a student at Yenching Conservatory of Music, the same school as Nan Ke. She said he has basically worked year-round for the past few years.”
"I don't know what my other brother's name is. I think he works in transportation. He's very capable, but I heard he has a bad personality and is expressionless."
Tu Yao listened and nodded, "That's really impressive."
I couldn't help but ask again, "How do you know all this so clearly?"
He successfully garnered another round of shocked glances.
Tu Yao quickly changed her tune: "Um, who did you guys just say he's friends with?"
"Of course it's Jiang Ye!"
"It seems like they recorded a variety show together before."
Tu Yao asked curiously, "What variety show is it? I'll go back and watch it."
"It's not available now. I don't know what happened a few years ago, but the copyright expired or was bought out. You can't find any clips or keywords on the entire internet."
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Tu Yao turned her head and saw a girl next to her frantically tapping the screen, laughing as she did so.
"I'm sending messages to my sisters in Hong Kong, making them envious and jealous of me."
As she spoke, she looked up at her and said, "Oh, you don't know, Teacher Tu never attends events in Gangcheng. My sister just turned 18, and her family doesn't feel comfortable letting her go out, so she hasn't seen Teacher Tu in person yet."
Tu Yao was taken aback: "Why not go to Hong Kong City?"
As soon as she said it, Tu Yao felt a sudden dizziness.
...Port City?
Does such a place as Gangcheng exist?
"I don't know, but Teacher Tu has declined all the events in Hong Kong in the past few years."
Tu Yao was only allowed to be released after being forced to listen to a whole series of science explanations.
Chu Yun waited for almost twenty minutes, his face turning completely green.
Tu Yao shook her dizzy head, squeezed through the crowd, and tentatively glanced at her: "Sister Yunyun?"
"...What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go over there."
Tu Yao nodded repeatedly: "Let's go, let's go!"
...
Backstage, Wen Yu handed a bouquet of flowers to Jiang Ye, then looked around and asked, "Has Teacher Tu arrived yet?"
"It's so lively outside. When they heard that Teacher Tu was coming, the organizers added two hundred more seats, and they were all snapped up instantly."
Jiang Ye had just finished getting his hair and makeup done when he glanced at the time: "Almost done."
He asked, "How did you handle that matter?"
Wen Yu frowned slightly: "I have the video that girl gave me. It's very clear. My manager's idea is not to release it for the time being."
"I'm planning to try my luck with the awards for this movie, and the fewer controversies, the better."
"Zhao Xing is looking for the paparazzi from that night. I contacted a paparazzi who has worked with the company before and am preparing to have him take his place."
She checked the surveillance footage along the road that night. The girl was clever; she specifically asked Xiaoyu for a map of the area and avoided all the surveillance cameras.
Even if it were absolutely safe, Wen Yu wouldn't dare to gamble.
Having received a favor from the other party, one should always ensure her safety.
Jiang Ye nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "You said that day, about my sister..."
Before he could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the door.
A chorus of hurried footsteps rang out.
Wen Yu and Jiang Ye exchanged a glance, seemingly sensing something.
The next second, the door opened with a whoosh.
A tall, blond young man wearing sunglasses walked in.
"Teacher Tu."
Hearing this, he immediately stood up.
Tu Chaoxi took off her sunglasses, her tired and clearly annoyed expression revealing a slight smile upon seeing her long-lost friend.
Then, with a casual push, he shut the door out to all the staff and organizers who rushed over after hearing the commotion.
"It's so noisy. I came half an hour early, and there are still so many people squatting here."
He walked straight towards Wen Yu, "What happened? Who bullied you?"
"I've checked your production team. Someone brought their own funding to join, so they're not only using you as a stepping stone, but also deliberately making things difficult for you, right?"
What were you guys talking about just now?
He threw out three questions in quick succession.
Just as Jiang Ye was about to speak, Wen Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately interrupted, "That's exactly what we're talking about."
Then, she turned her back and tugged at Jiang Ye's sleeve.
Jiang Ye realized what was happening and quickly swallowed his words.
"Yes, that's what we're talking about. Wen Yu has almost finished dealing with it."
Tu Chaoxi narrowed her eyes, her gaze darkening slightly.
After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "I'll visit you on set in a couple of days."
"I want to see how powerful his connections are."
"Okay, I'm going to change."
After saying that, Tu Chaoxi opened the door to the next room and went inside.
Wen Yu and Jiang Ye stopped where they were.
They all understood that Tu Chaoxi's words meant that he would help solve any problem, no matter how big.
At this moment, Wen Yu no longer needed to have any worries.
After a while, Wen Yu said softly, "I used to think that most friendships formed on TV shows in this industry would fall apart as soon as the show ended, so why are we the only ones who are different?"
In retrospect, it was only a short month back then.
In the grand scheme of their long careers, it was but a fleeting moment.
But it's just that these few people have continued for so many years.
"Later I realized it was because there was someone very different and very good between us."
She led them through so many joyful, heartbreaking, and beautiful moments.
So much so that after she left, everyone followed her example, learning how to treat friends and how to maintain this long-lasting friendship.
I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see her again.
Half an hour later, the music festival officially opened.
The fact that the tickets Wen Yu gave him were all in the front row, and that the situation wasn't too crowded, finally made Chu Yun's expression improve.
Tu Yao looked around with curiosity.
This was her first time attending a music festival.
The crowd was almost entirely made up of fans holding up light sticks.
Catching sight of the densest and brightest spot, Tu Yao couldn't help but tug at Chu Yun's sleeve and lean over to ask, "...Sister Yunyun, do you know Tu Chaoxi?"
The unexpected question caught Chu Yun off guard, and his mind went blank.
But the next second, a clear outline naturally emerged that matched those three words.
She hesitated before nodding: "...I know."
Tu Yao moved back somewhat resentfully.
She's the only one who doesn't know!
She wanted to see what Tu Chaoxi looked like!
Excited screams rang out all around her. Tu Yao covered her ears while glancing at the stage.
After listening to one beautiful yet unfamiliar song after another, finally, after the announcement, even more intense shouts erupted one after another!
The lights went completely dark, and the most popular person walked up and stood on the dimly lit stage.
Tu Yao was inexplicably excited and stared intently.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated.
She picked it up and saw it was a message from Grandpa Liu.
【Little Tu Yao, someone's here again. Pretending to faint won't work this time.】
Tu Yao was taken aback and immediately tugged at Chu Yun.
Trying to remain calm, she said, "Sister Yunyun, Qin Lang, I need to go back to the orphanage! You...you guys keep listening!"
Without waiting for their reaction, he turned and ran.
After passing the front row, she quickly ran towards the passageway opened up by the staff.
As she passed by the sound system, a loud note suddenly rang in her ears!
Tu Yao was startled and subconsciously looked up.
Less than two meters away, on the brightly lit stage, a tall young man wearing a cool sequined outfit stood with his face slightly blurred by the overhead lights.
She couldn't see the figure clearly; she just stared blankly at the blinding light.
In the light, she seemed to make eye contact with the person on stage for a second.
The intense drumbeats reverberated through her heart, each beat striking her heart.
The phone kept vibrating.
Tu Yao instantly snapped back to reality, quickly turned around, and ran out of the passage without hesitation, disappearing into the crowd.
On the stage, Tu Chaoxi stood frozen in place, her gaze slowly and incredulously moving upwards.
As the running figure moved, it gradually slid from the deafening loudspeaker into the narrow, dimly lit, man-made passageway.
The image of the girl wearing a mask standing directly in front of him kept flashing through his mind... her bright, round, beautiful eyes that looked confused.
Almost instantly, his ears rang, and he could no longer hear anything.
He staggered back a step, his face pale.
He murmured, "...Tu Xiaomao."
As soon as he uttered those three words, a chill ran down his spine, and his legs suddenly went weak.
He immediately took two steps forward, his gaze fixed on the tiny figure floating in the sea of people.
He managed to utter, "Tu Xiaomao..."
With trembling hands, he threw down his bass and jumped off the stage amidst everyone's shocked gazes.
"...Tu Xiaomao."
The crowd erupted in cheers, screams filling the air.
Tu Chaoxi was grabbed by the bodyguard who got there first.
"Tu Xiaomao!"
He screamed until his chest ached with suffocation, his voice swallowed by the deafening music and shouts.
The figure was completely swallowed up by the crowd.
"Tu Xiaomao!"
