Su Yang looked at her coldly.

“Okay, okay, you know how to use it,” Si Fuqing looked behind him, “What about your girlfriend? Didn’t she come to Lin with you?”

Su Yang’s hand paused, his voice faint and emotionless, “We broke up a long time ago.”

“I see,” Si Fuqing’s expression faltered for a moment, then she cheerfully offered, “As your big brother, don’t be sad, I know a lot of girls, let me introduce you.”

“No need,” Su Yang replied disdainfully, “I have social anxiety.”

Si Fuqing:

He didn’t seem like it when talking with her.

Si Fuqing felt a bit melancholic.

She had gone from being a big brother to a little sister.

Sometimes being young isn’t all that great.

“I’ll help you with this, I don’t have much else going on anyway,” Su Yang picked up his coat, “I have a small studio here. If you’re worried about being photographed, we can go there.”

Si Fuqing nodded, “Can’t be photographed, let’s go.”

Being photographed alone wasn’t an issue for her.

But being photographed with Su Yang would cause a sensation on Weibo.

Especially on a weekend, the programmers would want to kill her.

After all, when T18’s network was invaded by Zero, she had to work overtime because of a call from her second senior brother, and she really wanted to take down Zero.

As a fellow worker, Si Fuqing understood.

The two left the café.

Despite being fully covered, their charisma was undeniable.

People on the street often turned to look.

Su Yang hailed a car.

Thirty minutes later, they arrived at a small villa.

“You’re rich now,” Si Fuqing looked up, “Nice, you finally have a place to settle down.”

“There’s no difference,” Su Yang frowned slightly, “I don’t understand what happened to you, but why would you participate in a talent show?”

“I initially thought of just passing the days,” Si Fuqing tilted her head, “But now, I want to help them. Think about it, standing on stage, adored and worshipped by so many, you can’t let them down, right?”

She could have walked away.

But she didn’t want to see young talents lose their way, nor did she want to disappoint their fans.

There were too many injustices in this world, and everywhere people were struggling.

Si Fuqing lowered her head.

Her older sister was gone, and she needed to do things her sister would have done to keep going.

Su Yang fell silent again.

After a few seconds, he exhaled slowly, “Actually, whether or not you compose music for me, I don’t really care. I refused because I was upset.”

“When you suddenly cut off contact, I thought you might end up somewhere I could only look up to, like her.”

Si Fuqing sharply sensed something was off, ‘Who was your ex-girlfriend? Someone from this industry?”

Su Yang said flatly, “It’s not important anymore.”

“What’s this about looking up or not looking up,” Si Fuqing’s gaze was cool, “Who has to look up to me? Oh, sure, some people do need to, like someone who knelt before me today, but I didn’t even care.”

“You have to believe in yourself. So you can get to a place where those who bullied you will not be able to reach you.”

Su Yang finally smiled, “Let’s go, give me the music, and we’ll practice.”

Si Fuqing picked up a bass guitar, “You do have a complete set of equipment.”

Su Yang called her.

Si Fuqing turned back, “What?”

In a low voice, Su Yang said, “Sister, I never said it, but I’m really grateful to you.”

Now it was Si Fuqing’s turn to be annoying, “Call me big brother.”

Su Yang: ‘

Indeed, he didn’t need to doubt.

Ruining the mood, as always, was Si Fuqing’s best ability.

At 6 PM, the Lin Grand Hall was bustling with activity.

The performance was originally scheduled to take place at a stadium, but due to the State Sports Competition, all major stadiums were requisitioned, leaving the show’s organizers to make do with what they had.

Outside, fans had already gathered in droves.

Pei Mengzhi and Mrs. Pei were among the attendees.

In the past, Mrs. Pei would never have bothered with the entertainment industry, but now, all the hopes of the Pei family rested on Si Fuqing.

Realizing regrets were futile, Mrs. Pei was determined to make the best of the situation.

“Mom, I told you, there’s no need to hire people for support,” Pei Mengzhi said, exasperated, “Miss Si’s popularity is sky-high. Her fans alone are overwhelming.”

Mrs. Pei, looking at the sea of fans holding support signs, was speechless.

“By the way, Mom, I’ve identified a few suspects,” Pei Mengzhi whispered, “Third Uncle’s family, and Sixth Aunt’s family, they’ve been visiting our house most frequently.”

“I was thinking the same,” Mrs. Pei replied calmly, “especially your Sixth Aunt’s family and your cousin who always wanted to hang around his room, supposedly to Play games ana get close.’

She suddenly got angry, “And why do you buy so many game discs anyway?!”

Pei Mengzhi retorted, “…Mom, you are my biological mother.”

As they followed the crowd inside, a reporter quickly approached Pei Mengzhi, blocking his way, “Mr. Pei, any comments on the recent rumors linking you with Miss Si Fuqing?

“Don’t talk nonsense! ” Pei Mengzhi became nervous instantly, “How could I possibly pursue Miss Si? I should call her dad, you understand? Don’t ruin our father-son relationship! Get lost!”

The reporter was left confused as Pei Mengzhi hurried away.

Inside the hall, fans were making their way to their seats.

The live broadcast had started, and although the screen was still black, the chat was filled with excited comments.

The fans were abuzz with excitement and anticipation.

[Please, sisters inside, take more photos of Sisi’s face. If she doesn’t post a 3×3 grid of selfies, we can make do!]

[Will we get to see Teacher Si perform today? Will we, will we?]

[I’m looking forward to some short-sighted student stirring up trouble. Then, maybe Teacher Si will suddenly appear.]

Their eager anticipation was palpable.

Backstage, in the preparation area for the trainees, Lu Yan’s face lit up with a smile upon seeing Xie Yu and Xu Xiyun.

He approached them, feigning concern, “Xie Yu, I heard your band left. Need help finding another one? But an impromptu performance can’t match the perfection of repeated practice. What will you do?”

“Lu Yan, ” Xie Yu responded calmly, “I heard your family is very powerful in

Eastern State.”

“That’s good you know,” Lu Yan’s gaze held a threat, “Be smart and drop out of the competition.”

Xie Yu, an individual trainee without a company backing, had no business competing with him.

“Sure, I’ll keep that in mind,” Xie Yu replied with a low chuckle, his demeanor relaxed, “I’ll test how strong your family really is. Be prepared.”

Lu Yan frowned, not quite understanding what Xie Yu’s words meant by be prepared.

But it didn’t matter, as long as Xie Yu’s group couldn’t perform normally today, he would win.

Meanwhile, the assistant director hurried backstage, his face etched with worry, “Director, we couldn’t find a suitable band all day. Other groups’ bands are also unfamiliar with their song, so they can’t perform the music.”

“This is bad,” the director trembled, “Although Miss Si isn’t making a fuss, what do we do about today’s performance?”

The producer, smoking silently, finally asked, “Where’s Miss Si?” “She went out at noon and just came back,” the assistant director replied.

“I’ll go to her,” the producer said, quickly finding Si Fuqing and explaining the situation again.

“No problem,” Si Fuqing squinted, “It’s not your fault, I can recognize the situation.”

The producer apologized repeatedly, “But Miss Si, the performance…”

“The performance will go on as usual,” Si Fuqing replied lazily, “But I have a request. I want to change the order of appearance. My trainees’ group will perform before Lu Yan’s group.”

The planner readily agreed, “No problem! ”

As he turned, he noticed someone beside Si Fuqing and paused, “Miss Si, who is this?”
