Chapter 532: 532, I just came over to make a brief appearance (first update)

The noise from the side was simply too loud! The two could hardly hear Chu Jin’s voice.

Or rather, their souls had already been hooked away by the little demon on stage called Yi Shao.

And then, the bartender, seeing Chu Jin showing up among Yi Shao’s fan crowd, looked completely incredulous. He had thought Jin was not like other women! Turns out, Jin couldn’t escape the usual clichés either!

Hah! Women! Truly a species that says one thing but means another.

"Xinran, Qingyi! Young ladies! Time to go home!" Chu Jin directly pinched their ears, raising her voice by several decibels.

Only then did the two turn around, with Miao Xinran completely excited, she grabbed Chu Jin’s hand and shouted, "Jin, you’re here! Come on, let’s cheer for Yi Shao together!"

Mo Qingyi was also frantically waving at the stage, "That’s right! Let’s cheer for Yi Shao! Yi Shao, look over here..."

These two seemed to have gone completely nuts!

Chu Jin shook her head helplessly and tapped their heads, "Cheer for what ghosts! It’s already 12 o’clock, don’t you want to go home?"

Miao Xinran, while still paying attention to the stage, turned her head to look at Chu Jin, "Anyway, the house isn’t going anywhere; it’s alright to go back a bit later. It’s rare for Yi Shao to come to Nightcolors..."

Normally, Miao Xinran was quite a measured person, but once she got crazy, not even ten bulls could pull her back.

Mo Qingyi, still cheering, said, "Xinran’s right, the house isn’t running away! Jin, we finally came out to have some fun, why rush back? Yi Shao is about to start tossing the wreaths soon, maybe he’ll throw one to me!"

At this point, Miao Xinran also spoke with an excited face, "Yeah, yeah, Jin, you see Yi Shao is really super handsome! If I could sing a song with Yi Shao, I could wake up laughing from a dream!"

It was not clear what was being said on stage.

"Ah! Ah! Yi Shao, this way, this way!" Another round of screams swept through the bar below, with everyone frantically twisting their bodies, waving at the stage, hoping to catch the attention of the white-clothed young man above.

Even if that white-clothed young man glanced at oneself once, it would be wonderful.

Miao Xinran and Mo Qingyi, in particular, had outright forgotten about Chu Jin’s existence, joining the crowd in screaming and waving, completely lost in their own world.

The scene was no less intense than a fan meeting with a mega-famous star.

In the midst of the crazed crowd, only Chu Jin remained as calm as ever, standing there unhurriedly, with the dim light casting a soft shadow over her jade-like features.

The light below the stage was very dim, while the spotlight above was very bright. The white-clothed young man on the stage strummed his guitar, and his clear voice kept flowing through the microphone into everyone’s ears, "Red rain drifts and stirs up memories, how can I dive, your beautiful eyes like those years flow through my heart, by the ferry’s edge the final encounter sets down a period..."

Hearing this, Chu Jin had a rough idea why these girls were so crazy. Yi Shao indeed had a golden voice, and his singing really struck a chord.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Screams arose from the crowd again and again, pushing the already out-of-control scene to an even higher climax.

"Next up is the wreath tossing segment, personally done by Yi Shao. The lucky audience member will get the chance to sing a song with Yi Shao!"

Once the host finished this sentence, the audience below totally lost it, everyone desperately pushed forward to the stage, all hoping to grab the chance to get close to Yi Shao.

This chance was really too rare! With a bit of luck, one might even soar up the ranks!

If the quality of the stage hadn’t been decent, by now it would’ve already been crushed by the frenzied crowd!

"Over here, young master Yi! Choose me!"

"This way!"

Chu Jin was jostled back and forth by a group of crazy girls, almost losing her footing. Looking at Mo Qingyi and Miao Xinran, the two had already broken through the throngs and made it to the front row, seemingly too excited to return anytime soon. So Chu Jin turned around to walk in the opposite direction of the frantic crowd, planning to sit and wait for them on a sofa elsewhere.

Everyone was rushing towards the stage, all except Chu Jin, who walked away with her hands in her pockets, looking cool and seemingly indifferent to the situation here, which was somewhat attracting attention.

The boy in white on the stage gripped the flower crown tightly, then with a little force, threw it out!

Whoosh—

"Ah!" All the girls looked up in the direction of the flower crown, those standing in the first row almost despairing!

The girls in the back row were so excited they were practically flying!

Some even jumped up, trying to grab the flower crown.

But all they could do was watch helplessly as the flower crown flew over their heads!

Suddenly, the brightly colored flower crown landed securely onto the head of a girl.

At the same time, the venue lit up with bright white lights, as if it were daylight.

Almost everyone’s gaze converged on the girl’s silhouette.

Chu Jin just felt something light land on her head and stopped in her tracks, turning around curiously to see who would be so bored as to throw something at her!

The flower crown was made up of brightly colored flowers, stunningly gorgeous, so much so that no one could outshine such flamboyant flowers, yet against her hair they seemed to pale in comparison.

Her turning around was breathtaking, and she was more beautiful than the flowers.

In that moment, those eight characters nearly appeared in everyone’s minds.

Even the boy in white on the stage hadn’t expected that the girl he had randomly chosen would exhibit such stunning beauty! Just now he was only curious about why Chu Jin would walk away, so he had thrown the flower crown onto her head! It was her behavior that had attracted him!

Having grown up in a wealthy family, he had seen too many beauties throughout his life, whether they be enchantingly coquettish, adorably shy, nobly elegant, mature and sexy, or cute and doe-eyed. But compared to the girl before him now, they all paled in insignificance!

Her beauty was indescribable, making all things in the world feel inferior and bow down before her.

Seeing everyone looking at her like this, Chu Jin also froze, not having clearly heard what had been said on the stage just now and therefore not realizing that she had become the object of everyone’s envy.

Chu Jin frowned slightly and reached up to take the flower crown from her head, "Who threw this?" Her clear voice spread through the air and reached everyone’s ears.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, wondering if this girl was truly naive or just pretending. There was no need for such tactics even if she wanted to rise in rank. She had obviously been chosen by young master Yi, yet she was acting as if she knew nothing! What a Lotus! Disgusting!

Such a person was really too cunning! By intentionally acting different from them, she was going against the grain! It was a ploy to get young master Yi’s attention!

While green with envy, they were also annoyed with themselves for not having thought of this trick.

The host on the stage looked at young master Yi to the side and saw him squinting his eyes with interest at the girl, his lips curling into a pleased smile. The host was dumbstruck, knowing young master Yi for so long, to be honest, this was the first time he had seen him smile at a woman...

The host instantly felt reassured and looked at the girl in the audience, picking up the microphone with a smile, "Congratulations, miss, for becoming tonight’s lucky audience member! You have been chosen by Mr. Yi, and opportunities like this are rare, so quickly come on stage and share with us how you’re feeling right now."

Chosen? A rare opportunity? On stage?! As if I’m being selected as a concubine!

After hearing the host, Chu Jin slightly furrowed her brows. Combining what Mo Qingyi and Miao Xinran had mentioned earlier, she roughly understood the situation, and looking towards the stage, she said in a light tone, "I’m sorry, but I just came to ’hit the soy sauce.’ I didn’t intend to participate in your event. Here’s your garland back."

No one expected Chu Jin to say something like that. If she was playing the game of being unique, wasn’t she taking it a bit too far? Didn’t she know when to stop?

Even the host was stunned! They marveled internally at the girl’s skillful maneuvers!

Now, all of Mr. Yi’s attention was captivated by her!

Chu Jin hadn’t thought that far ahead. As she raised her right hand, about to toss the garland back, Mo Qingyi came rushing over and grabbed her wrist, "Jin, Jin, don’t be impulsive! It’s a rare chance, just go on stage and say a few words! It’s Mr. Yi, you know! Standing on the same stage with him proves your luck! Did you step in dog poop this morning when you left the house? Why don’t I ever have such luck?"

Miao Xinran also added, "That’s right, Jin! How can you give up such a great opportunity? You have no idea how many people here are envious of you!"

Chu Jin truly disliked such events and had no interest in sharing the spotlight with Mr. Yi. She turned to Mo Qingyi and Miao Xinran and said, "Since both of you like him so much, let’s play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins gets the garland. I’m not interested anyway."

A true gentleman should allow others to excel.

Though Chu Jin spoke nonchalantly, the surrounding crowd was stunned. This woman was really something! To attract Mr. Yi’s attention, she was willing to employ any means necessary. How shameless!

Mo Qingyi and Miao Xinran, however, were quite happy about this. It was a great opportunity to meet their idol up close, so they began playing rock-paper-scissors immediately, "Rock, paper, scissors!"

Miao Xinran jumped up joyfully, "Ha! I won!"

Mo Qingyi pouted unhappily.

Chu Jin patted Miao Xinran on the head, saying in a mild tone, "Good girl, you have to accept the loss gracefully!" With that, she handed over the garland to Miao Xinran.

Miao Xinran then wrapped her arm around Mo Qingyi’s shoulder, "Don’t be downhearted. You can just come on stage with me, right?"

"Really?" Mo Qingyi instantly perked up.

Miao Xinran nodded, "Of course, who said you can’t have two people on stage at the same time?"

Caught off guard by this turn of events, the host didn’t know what to do. They had never encountered someone like this before. To receive Mr. Yi’s garland and favor was a blessing many could only dream of, yet she just casually passed on this hard-earned opportunity with a game of rock-paper-scissors!

From the stage, Mr. Yi watched the trio with an unperturbed gaze. Regardless of whether the girl did it on purpose or not, he had to admit that her method had indeed caught his attention.

Quite novel, he had never encountered such a trick before. He was eager to reveal her true colors, to expose her money-grubbing facade. It was just a shame for such a fine exterior! That face was truly unparalleled in this world!

Chu Jin patted the two on their hands, smiling lightly, "I’ll wait for you over there. Make it quick."

The two nodded obediently.

Chu Jin walked to a calmer area and found a sofa to sit down on.

On the other side, Mo Qingyi got his wish and went on stage with Miao Xinran to sing a song with Mr. Yi.

As Mr. Yi sang with the two, his gaze occasionally drifted casually to the audience below. However, he could no longer see that slender figure. That shouldn’t be right—if she wanted to attract his attention, she shouldn’t have left the scene so early. She was supposed to continue doing some unconventional acts.

Could it be that she’s holding back some powerful trick?

No matter her motives, Yi Shao felt somewhat stifled and panicked. As a young and vigorous man, this was the first time he was completely ignored by a woman! No, he had to find her and get to the bottom of this!

After the song ended, Miao Xinran and Mo Qingyi stepped down from the stage, both satisfied.

What made Yi Shao even more depressed was that these two girls were different from other women. When other women sang with him, they would always find some excuse to chat with him or ask for a hug. But these two seemed to like him, yet their eyes were void of obsession or infatuation. It was as if they simply enjoyed his company, nothing more; they only shared the stage with him for the sake of the song.

Could it be that his charm had declined?

This was the first time the ever so proud and self-confident Yi Shao doubted himself.

Mo Qingyi, arm in arm with Miao Xinran, walked towards Chu Jin while asking, "Xinran, who do you think is more handsome, Yi Shao or your brother?"

"Nonsense!" Miao Xinran rolled her eyes at Mo Qingyi. "Do I even need to say it? Of course, my brother is more handsome!"

Mo Qingyi argued, "Are you blind? Yi Shao is obviously the more handsome one!"

"You’re the one who’s blind! Then tell me, who is more handsome compared to Yi Shao, your brother or him?"

Mo Qingyi raised her hand to her chin, musing, "Of course my brother is more handsome! Besides, my brother and Yi Shao aren’t even the same type!"

As the two were bantering, a pleasing male voice came from behind, "Ladies, may I have the honor of buying you a drink?"

The voice was warm like the sun, extremely pleasant—the kind that could impregnate the ears.

Both turned around, and upon seeing the person standing behind them, they were both stunned. They covered their mouths in excitement, "Yi, Yi Shao!"

Yi Shao raised a finger to his lips, gently hushing them with a "Shh," "Keep your voices down, they don’t know I’m here."

"Okay, okay." They nodded eagerly like pecking hens. Mo Qingyi lowered her voice and said, "Yi Shao, come with us this way, there are fewer people over here."

Yi Shao nodded slightly and followed them. From a distance, he spotted the figure nestled in the sofa, her eyes lowered to her phone in hand. The dim light from the screen reflected her luminous complexion like gleaming jade.

Her sitting posture, compared to others in the bar, seemed improper and languid, causing passersby to glance over. She appeared careless, but was oddly pleasing to the eye—it was uncertain whether she genuinely disregarded the opinions of others or if she was attracting attention in another way.

If she was deliberately seeking attention, it was terrifying! Living a life so devoid of interest, always in the world and gaze of others—what meaning did such a life have?

This type of woman was somewhat unfathomable and inscrutable.

Xinran was a step ahead and tiptoed to Chu Jin. She covered Chu Jin’s eyes with her hands, changing her voice, and teased, "Guess who I am."

Chu Jin played along, "Miao Er Sha (Second Fool Miao)."

"You’re the Second Fool!" Miao Xinran’s act fell through instantly. She let go of Chu Jin, propped her hands on the back of the chair, and with a light jump, sat next to Chu Jin, helping herself to the beverage and gulping it down.

Chu Jin continued to nestle in the sofa, looking at her phone, offhandedly remarking, "Er Sha (Second Fool), why did you come back alone? Where is San Sha (Third Fool)?"

"Who did you just call Third Fool, Jin Ge (Brother Jin)?" Suddenly, Mo Qingyi’s voice startled Chu Jin. She instinctively looked up, only to lock eyes with a pair of scrutinizing eyes.

Clearly, this was not Mo Qingyi but a very young man with meticulously styled hair, incredibly trendy and handsome features, probably around twenty, fitting the mold of a modern-day heartthrob. If Chu Jin wasn’t mistaken, this must be Yi Shao, the one every young girl went crazy for, right?
