Chapter 58: Chapter 56 Each Has Their Own Calculations

The lights shimmered, the aroma of pastries wafted through the air.

Dressed in a loose black round-neck t-shirt paired with distressed sweatpants, her long hair parted in the middle and naturally draped over both shoulders, Jiaqi sat before her fans.

For this special day, she had resolutely spent twenty thousand yuan on a well-known industry makeup artist to create a "plain water" style light makeup look specifically for her.

Though her eye makeup, blush, and lip color were subdued, they were given a touch of sheen. The contrasts of light and shadow on her under-eye area, cheekbones, and jawline were expertly balanced to make her facial features appear strikingly defined.

She looked just like a character from Gui Zhenghe’s shoujo manga.

Beside her sat Lu Shanshan, Xu Mengchen, and Zhang Yu.

"Hi, everyone! I guess I don’t need to introduce myself, right?" Jiaqi joked playfully.

"No, no introduction needed. Anyone who came here today must already know who you are," Zhang Yu responded, taking the cue with a smile that made her look like the girl-next-door.

"Jiaqi, look at your fans—they’re starving," Mengchen chimed in, joining the flow.

"So hungry they’re looking at us like wolves," she added, pretending to act scared in her short-skirted school uniform.

The audience burst into knowing laughter.

"Haha, you guys aren’t really going to eat us, are you?" Jiaqi pretended to flee in mock panic.

The crowd erupted into gleeful cries and howls, their spirit instantly intensified.

"Thank you all for coming here today. I’m already feeling crushed under the weight of your enthusiasm," Jiaqi teased further.

"You mean you’re ’panting for breath,’ right?" Zhang Yu said, pretending to scrutinize Jiaqi closely.

"Uuuu!" A distinctive drawn-out sound peculiar to Hanoi fans rose from the audience.

"Jiaqi, I remember we went to bed super early last night!"

Lu Shanshan adjusted her glasses, speaking seriously.

This statement sent the fans into an even greater frenzy.

"Stop! Stop! Everyone, no more questions! Xiao Yu and I would still like to stay alive!" Mengchen began her playful antics.

"So we don’t get eaten alive and so we can all watch the performance later, let’s hand out the cake!" Jiaqi skillfully regained control of the room.

The group enthusiastically began distributing cakes to the fans.

That segment alone shattered the rumors of discord among the group.

Jiaqi’s emotions were extremely mixed—both joyful and bittersweet.

Yuwei hadn’t been wrong—this birthday party truly was a pivotal moment for her.

Initially, she didn’t have many fans, but driven by Hanoi fans’ disdain for Ye Yuwei and sympathy for Jiaqi, her birthday tickets sold out miraculously.

She had merely gathered fifteen thousand yuan to hold a simple celebration, but the crowdfunding unexpectedly raised over 150,000. With this added budget, the venue now looked extravagant.

A nearly three-meter tall, high-resolution poster was hung behind her.

Fans accepted slices of cake while offering heartfelt birthday wishes.

The Hanoi fans, who had always maintained a civilized demeanor in public, refrained from asking provocative questions.

But everyone understood the extraordinary significance of this birthday event.

After interacting with the fans for a while, Jiaqi and the others moved to the main stage.

Today, her fans had booked a mid-sized theater in Shenghai that could seat over three thousand—this level of turnout rivaled the Top 1 and Top 2 in Hanoi.

On the large screen, flames flickered, and dynamic music began to play.

The theme of Jiaqi’s birthday celebration was: Ignite the fire of youth, radiate the colors of life.

Under the guidance of the host, Jiaqi emerged onstage in a new outfit.

As she gazed at the sea of glow sticks and fan signs in the dark auditorium, she almost couldn’t hold back her tears.

This was the scene she had always dreamed of.

Yet this very scene had been achieved by stepping over the "corpse" of someone who had left an indelible mark on her heart.

Suppressing her emotions, she proudly displayed her figure in a black jacket and moto-style mini skirt.

With a powerful opening performance of "Youthful Fire," she declared her intent to rise from the ashes like a phoenix, vowing to one day dominate Hanoi.

Many fans who had joined the event impulsively were unexpectedly captivated by Jiaqi’s voice.

They never imagined her voice could sound this good.

Her enunciation was clear, her tone unwavering and concentrated, seamless like a vertical line.

Backstage, Lu Bingbing observed Jiaqi’s impassioned performance with a complicated expression.

"Big Sis, did we make a mistake? After today, no one will be able to stop her from conquering Hanoi," Qingjia’s gaze was equally troubled, filled with dejection and pain.

"The lesser of two evils. If Ye Yuwei makes a comeback, Hanoi fans will surely rally completely behind her, and we’ll never see the light of day in Hanoi," Lu Bingbing’s eyes glinted cold as ice.

At that moment, Jiaqi took a guitar onstage and began to strum a beautifully melodic campus song, "The Taste of Erasers."

Under the solitary spotlight, Jiaqi exuded a dreamlike aura akin to an oil painting. Her jade-like fingers plucked the strings, and the heart-stirring notes flowed effortlessly like a stream.

The fans couldn’t help but sing along, transporting themselves back to their own days of youthful innocence.

Next, the large screen showcased a meticulously edited video montage of "fans" chronicling Jiaqi’s journey.

Frame by frame, the video displayed clips from her Hanoi audition, her debut stage, and highlights from various performances.

Although she followed the prepared script to evoke emotions and portray her inspirational, hardworking side, the sentiment within her was genuine.

Many fans were moved to tears by the heartfelt video. It was their first time truly understanding Jiaqi and discovering the many touching stories she held.

Yet amidst the emotional highs, no one noticed that the video had intentionally excluded Ye Yuwei—someone who had been a meaningful presence in Jiaqi’s life as her CP partner.

"Qingjia, it’s our turn now," Lu Bingbing prompted, lightly patting her faithful ally still standing by her side.

Joining them were other top members. Of the Hanoi Seven, aside from the ones stationed in other groups, the remaining five were all present.

They appeared in uniform, donning specially designed commemorative t-shirts exclusive to this birthday event.

The front of the shirts featured five colorful flames, while the back displayed a horizontal logo symbolizing passion, dreams, and perseverance.

The large screen switched again, displaying greetings from the two Hanoi Seven members stationed in the other divisions.

This sight completely ignited the fans’ enthusiasm. Though they understood the immense significance of this birthday event—it marked the first collective rebellion against the oppressive management of their company by Hanoi idols—they couldn’t hold back their excitement upon witnessing the members truly come together.

Over the years, Hanoi fans had constantly criticized the company and Old Mu, but their dissent was limited to small writings and indirect statements. They never dared openly oppose them.

Now, with the five top members stepping forward, it was an outright uprising, akin to the revolutionary spirit of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, which carried a "change-the-world" significance.

Without uttering a word, the group joined Jiaqi to perform "Black and White Idol" and "Fall," delivering a thrilling collaborative stage that electrified the audience.

Next, N Team members—all except Ye Yuwei—appeared to support Jiaqi, forming a symbolic "circle" as they chanted Hanoi’s unified slogan that echoed throughout the venue.

At that moment, the fans felt like they were witnessing a General Election.

Many were so excited they could no longer contain themselves.

"Always support N Team, defeat the royalist Ye Yuwei!"

"N Team, don’t cry—we’ll never lose!"

"Jiaqi-chan, that woman isn’t worth a single tear from you!"

"Jiaqi-chan, take courage—you still have us!"

Fans at the venue finally let their emotions erupt, shouting hysterically.

With tears brimming in her eyes, Jiaqi felt an indescribable anguish, as if her heart were being pricked incessantly with needles.

But she couldn’t bring herself to defend her friend, Ye Yuwei—not even once.

Doing so would only destroy herself and further fuel the hatred toward Ye Yuwei.
