Chapter 186: 55. Everyone’s Darkest Hour_3

Yuanlina, goodbye.

The student council won’t have you anymore~

Sakuragi Hitomi’s expression darkened, but seeing more and more people in the distance, she also realized that it was unrealistic to look for someone this way...

President!!

What on earth have you been doing?

Weren’t you going to see Bai Yi?

She’s almost going on stage, why haven’t you come back yet?!!

Sakuragi Hitomi turned to look at the stage, only to see that the dance had already finished, and the dancer had interacted with the host for a moment before stepping down.

Then, the host glanced at the card in his hand, smiled, and said,

"Oh dear, the next guest to take the stage is quite significant...

"On the show ’Youthfulness,’ she has been rated as: the idol with the most youthful energy. In Lin Gate’s fashion magazine, her figure is also frequently featured...

"Such a young idol, who is very passionate about pop culture, what kind of brilliant performance will she bring to us today?"

After speaking, the host moved his prompt cards away from the microphone, looked at the dense crowd below, and smiled,

"So, let us welcome Lin Gate’s most popular idol of the new generation!!

"Miss Bai Yi!!"

Inside Yuanlina’s embrace, Sakuragi Hitomi was taken aback, even her faint struggle ceased, and she quickly looked towards the stage.

Looking at the center of the stage, where the spotlight converged...

...

Earlier, backstage.

Several makeup artists finished Bai Yi’s makeup and then dispersed some, contentedly looking at the breathtakingly beautiful girl.

"Okay, you’re all set."

"Okay... Thank you..."

Bai Yi’s somewhat pale face was covered by thick makeup, and the blush painted on made her bloodless complexion appear as her very own pain.

Her eyes were unfocused, and her legs hidden under her dress uncontrollably began to tremble.

"Humming..."

The ringing in her ears penetrated sharply like steel needles into her brain.

"Drip drip... Tick tock..."

Among the hustle and bustle of the backstage crew, the rhythmic sound of a clock seemed like salvation under the state where the ringing shadowed her senses.

It dragged her head downwards, as though curling up and wanting to bury itself inside her body.

"You can do it... Bai Yi... you can do this..."

Her eyes trembled, but in her view, memories of Yan Huan’s reaction after listening to her song without any comment kept replaying.

Does it sound terrible?

Not nice at all, right?

Probably disappointed, but it’s awkward to say it outright, so that’s why the subject was awkwardly changed.

These few days, Bai Yi, who ran away from home and then returned, hasn’t healed any of the wounds in her heart.

Her mother was still the same as before, denying her, insulting her, arranging her life...

But those days, she endured it all.

Whether it was rehearsals or dutifully proceeding step by step...

It was all...

All fueled by the admiration expressed by Yan Huan that night.

She didn’t want to disappoint her only fan.

So, even if she still felt suffocated at that oppressive home, she still held her breath and wrote out the new song, and gave it to Yan Huan.

She just wanted to hear his acknowledgement once more and then rely on it...

Even if her mother denied her, even if what she was doing now wasn’t what she wanted at all...

She would be able to keep going, right?

But now...

She was about to collapse.

"Drip drip... Tick tock..."

"Drip drip... Tick tock..."

Bai Yi, gasping, looked at the floor until her agent Ji Lin came over and asked puzzledly,

"Yiyi, have you put away your phone and other items? You need to get ready to go on stage."

"Okay... all right."

Bai Yi quickly snapped back to reality and struggled to her feet.

It wasn’t until she felt the weight on the hem of her dress that she dazedly remembered—she hadn’t even put back her phone and Bluetooth earbuds.

But Ji Lin had already walked away, replaced by the venue’s staff,

"Bai Yi, get ready to go on stage. The previous dance will finish in five minutes, go stand behind the curtain, and when you hear the host’s voice, time it right to go on stage."

"Okay."

Bai Yi walked forward, pushing aside a curtain that separated the inside from the outside, and entered the dark passageway leading to the stage.

Ahead, the sound of songs and dances from the stage and the chattering of the audience sounded like a tide that would overwhelm Bai Yi in this cramped corridor.

She walked to the stairs in front, waiting for the host’s call from outside.

"Ding ding~"

But just at that moment, her phone in her pocket unexpectedly rang!

She forgot to set it to silent!

Bai Yi took out her phone in a flurry, trying to switch it to silent.

Since she had brought it along, she could only hide it in her dress.

But on a glance, she saw a message from Yan Huan,

"Bai Yi, do you have a Bluetooth earbud that connects to your phone? If not, there’s an earbud on the table in front that’s mine, and you can borrow it."

Bai Yi was slightly stunned, lifted her gaze towards the table next to the stairs, and there really was a box with Bluetooth earbuds on it.

Underneath that table, a ghostly black cat tail silently slid in, gradually merging with the darkness...

Bai Yi was incredulous, then she started typing on her phone,

"I have earbuds. But why do I need earbuds? I’m about to go on stage."

"Seeing you a bit nervous, wearing Bluetooth earbuds might block out some of the sound below, perhaps it could relieve some of it."

She’s been on stage so many times, nervousness is...

But looking at the earbuds in front, she touched her rapidly thumping heartbeat, and couldn’t help pursing her lips.

She looked at the phone and typed again,
