Fame

There was a black piano in the middle of the stage, and four years ago she sat in the middle of the stage playing the piano, and at that time there was still a sense of purpose.

Four years had passed, how did she end up in this situation today?

Xu Zhi pursed her lips, opened her Weibo account and blocked Lu Ming and Qin Zhen.

The first person she followed after registering on Weibo was Lu Ming, who she had followed for five years. She was happy for a long time and even wrote a song about it, which was later included in Qin Zhen’s album.

Xia Qiao walked through the bustling crowd towards Xu Zhu, her heart beating fast.

Lin Yuzu in the front row was still laughing at Xu Hao, “How is it so funny? In fact, I was Qi Cai’s girlfriend. I wanted to marry him, the police wouldn’t let me, so I dumped him.”

“Speaking of which, I really am Shang Rui’s proper wife. But the relationship is not very stable, sometimes I can dream, sometimes I can’t.”

Xia Qiao sat next to Xu Zhi, so she turned her head to look at her, feeling like she was dreaming now. Yu Mu sent a selfie of Xu Zhi, claiming the identity.

Qi Cai Studio with 20 million followers reposted it and congratulated Xu Zhi on her graduation.

What kind of magical thing was this?

“Zhi’er.” Xia Qiao came up to Xu Zhi’s ear and whispered, “You’re really Yu Mu?”

Xu Zhi nodded and checked again along the concern list to make sure that all of Tomorrow Media’s artists were taken off and no fish were left out.

Xia Qiao sucked in a breath of cold air, “Then Qi Cai will really come? Oh my God!”

“Not necessarily.” Xu Zhi wasn’t firm, leaving room for maneuvering, “If there’s traffic jam, he won’t come.”

Xu Zhi’s Weibo background picture was a starry sky, she replaced the starry sky with a black one.

There was no more light for her.

Xu Zhi intended to exit Weibo, and saw that the latest comments reached five thousand, reaching more than a million likes. This was beyond Xu Zhi’s expectation, her followers were mostly fake fans.

Last year, she collaborated with Qin Zhen on an album, and Lu Ming was afraid that she would slow down Qin Zhen’s success so she didn’t post much.

Her real fans were only a hundred thousand or so, and they usually sent out three to four hundred comments on one Weibo post.

When Xu Zhi opened her Weibo account, the first comment was “Happy graduation!”

The first hot turn was also Qi Cai Studio, they kept their promise and really forwarded Xu Zhi’s Weibo post.

Xu Zhi clicked into Qi Cai Studio, the other had already followed her, she commented: “Thank you.”

“You even hid it from me? Are we friends? Are we the best of friends?” Xia Qiao realized later, and her scalp tingled. She looked like a clown just now, completely unbelieving.

If Xu Zhi was Yu Mu, then everything could be explained.

She got popular at the age of seventeen and was able to take the college entrance exams quietly and lived in a dormitory with her classmates. She usually didn’t look down on anyone. If a classmate needed help finding her, she was dutiful.

She occasionally used some luxury goods, most of the time like an ordinary young man, she wore affordable clothes and ate at the school canteen.

“There was no deliberate concealment, you didn’t ask.” Xu Zhi exited Weibo, changed the photo of Lu Ming in the theme of her phone, and deleted his contact information. She looked at Xia Qiao and suddenly smiled, her pretty eyes curved, “Besides, would you guys believe me if I said that? Before today, I wouldn’t have used this way to prove myself.”

Wearing a black bachelor’s uniform, Xu Zhi sat in the student seat of the auditorium, the boisterous jeers still behind her. A beam of light fell from the stage, falling between her delicate brows, and her beauty was like a touch of snow white above the mountains.

“Why don’t you show your face?” Xia Qiao returned from the amazement, the beam of light also moved away, she looked around, “You let them make rumors behind your back? Saying such ugly things. I can’t believe it, you’re actually Yu Mu!”

Lu Ming was real, and so her confidence in her became stronger.

Xu Zhi didn’t want to say the real reason, she leaned back in her seat, raised her chin and looked at the piano in the center of the stage, “Why didn’t you tell them the truth?”

Xia Qiao chuckled, “I’m not telling them. I’m going to watch their jokes. The happier they jump, the worse they’ll fall. How happy they are now, the worse they’ll look later. I reckon you’ll be on the hot search, as long as they’re not blind, they’ll see your photos. Brother Qi’s Studio has posted your Weibo account.”

Xu Zhi wanted to say something, in the end, nothing was said.

At 9:30, the parents entered the room. Xu Zhi glanced at the parents’ seat, but Qi Cai didn’t come.

At 9:40, the counselor informed her to get ready to perform on stage.

Xu Zhi had a grand finale today, performing a piano solo on stage as an outstanding graduate. She thought Lu Ming would come, so she agreed to perform.

Lu Ming didn’t come, but the performance still had to continue.

Her original song was “The Prayer of the Maiden”, but after communicating with her teacher, she changed it to “Pathos”.

Xu Zhi didn’t look at anyone before she went on stage, she walked to the piano in the center of the auditorium, the world went silent, she bent down and bowed and straightened up and turned to sit in front of the piano.

Suddenly the audience was in an uproar, she didn’t know what the noise was about.

Xu Zhi didn’t look up, she focused her attention on the piano.

Twenty-three years old, she graduated, ending her campus life and the long one-way chase.

It was all over.

Her long white fingers fell to the black and white keys, the smooth notes resounded in the auditorium, the noise was gradually inaudible, only the piano remained.

Xu Zhi sat in the middle of the stage, the blazing white light fell on her, her spine straight, her thin shoulder blades showed the outline under her clothes.

The low pathos flowed from her fingertips, and the long prelude silenced the world. The rhythm gradually quickened, blistering, with despair and like relief.

Until the last note fell, Xu Zhi rose and bowed, the tassel on her bachelor’s hat arcing through the air.

She wanted to leave directly, swept the parents area, her gaze stopped, the empty seat she left sat a very tall thin man.

He wore a spotless white casual shirt, wearing a black duck tongue hat black mask, she couldn’t see his eyebrows, she could only see his cold white skin. The aura of his body wasn’t the same with the people around him, it was an aura that didn’t belong to a normal person.

“Thank you, student Xu Zhi.” The host’s voice resounded through the auditorium, Xu Zhi reurned back to her senses and turned to walk quickly off the stage towards the audience.

Qi Cai?

“Why does the person who came in at the end look so much like Qi Cai?”

“That’s Qi Cai, right? The airport photo just now, he was wearing that outfit.”

“No way!”

Xu Zhi walked past the front row of student seats and saw the suppressed screams of many people hooking their heads to look at the parents’ section. If it weren’t for the school leaders on stage, someone might have rushed over.

“Why is Qi Cai attending our school’s graduation ceremony? For whom did he come?”

“The piano department’s Xu Zhi, Qi Cai’s studio reposted Yu Mu’s post, Xu Zhi was actually that internet singer Yu Mu.”

“Crap! No wonder there was a limousine pick up and drop off, all luxury items. And people said she was a kept woman, who can afford to adopt her? Her “Trapped” is on fire! Copyright fees are earning like crazy!”

“Really? Yu Mu is Xu Zhi?”

“Hot search number six, go look, Yu Mu posted a selfie.”

“Yu Mu debuted five years and never sent a photo, we thought she was too ugly to send photos, she didn’t expect to be the department flower! How can there be such a good-looking and talented person with such a low profile!”

“Xu Zhi is Yu Mu.”

“I love “Trapped”! No way! I thought Yu Mu was a woman in her thirties! How could it be Xu Zhi!”

As Xu Zhi walked up the steps, someone started taking pictures of her with their phone, she didn’t dodge or flash, and for the first time she met the camera and looked over.

She was about to walk to her original position when her phone vibrated in her pocket, the host on the stage was making his final speech, the lights were all on the stage and the stage was dark.

Xu Zhi took out her phone and opened it to see a message from an unfamiliar number: “Come to me.”

Xu Zhi abruptly turned his head, Qi Cai raised his eyes to look this way.

There were several girls in the student seats who could no longer suppress their screams, and Xu Zhi felt that they may pounce at any moment.

The beam of light once again fell to the audience and landed on his side.

He withdrew his eyes, his long and smooth arm leaned casually on the armrest. On the index finger of his right hand was a silver ring, shimmering in the light, and his finger bones were clearly distinguished, a pair of hands that played the piano.

He was holding a thin and delicate black cell phone, his posture was loose and casual, and he seemed to be typing.

Xu Zhi’s phone rang again, and Xu Zhi lowered his eyes to see a new message on his phone, “This is Qi Cai.”

Xu Zhi backed up and walked quickly towards Qi Cai along the gap at the edge of the stage, she didn’t expect Qi Cai to really come.

The studio forwarding her Weibo post was already very sincere.

Yet Qi Cai made another trip himself.

She had to go over and remind Qi Cai to leave as soon as possible, otherwise with his fan base, he would be in danger when it was over.

The last part of Xu Zhi’s journey was a trot to the audience, when she was a few steps away from him, Xu Zhi raised her eyes to look.

He leaned back in his seat with his long legs folded, his eyes were fixed on his phone as he sent messages, his slender and cold white fingers held a thin black phone, and his typing speed was not fast, but it was constant.

“Mr. Qi.” Xu Zhi had walked up to him and looked around, “You didn’t bring a bodyguard?”

As Qi Cai raised his head, he put back his long legs, revealing his eyes pressed under the brim of his hat. His gaze was deep and his eyelashes were dense and slender, and his pupils were black and heavy, with a hint of sharpness.

Xu Zhi stopped a meter away from him and observed Qi Cai, who was much better looking than on TV.

“Xu Zhi?” He opened his mouth, two words separated and pronounced slowly, his voice was cold but perfect, like the sound of ice falling into a glass collision.

There was a media comment that he was a voice kissed by God.

Xu Zhi felt that he should be God’s most beloved lover, kissed with deep feelings.

“It’s me.” Xu Zhi reached out to Qi Cai, “Hello.”

Qi Cai gazed at her for a moment, put away his phone and got up, he stood up tall with a great presence, Qi Cai’s official height was one meter eighty-seven. Xu Zhi took a half step back and tilted her head to look at him as Qi Cai handed over the black gift bag. The slightly cool fingertips touched Xu Zhi’s hand, skin touching, the cold coldness of his body caged the surrounding air, Xu Zhi instinctively backed up.

He raised his hand to support Xu Zhi’s shoulder, avoiding the tragedy of Xu Zhi falling down the steps.

“Don’t be nervous.” He leaned down and said in a tone that only two people could hear, “Shaking hands is too rusty, not like friends-”

Xu Zhi opened her arms and hugged him.
