Bai Zhen Zhen restrained her turbulent heart. When her sight returned to the stage, the lights suddenly became dazzling, and the warm music came to an abrupt end, changing to a song with a very dynamic rhythm.

It looked like the opening dance was about to begin.

“They said that the brothers from STAR will come for the opening dance! They’re coming to the stage, I’m so nervous oh!!” A young girl next to Bai Zhen Zhen gossiped excitedly with her friends.

“Did you also come here to see STAR?” Asked another girl.

“Yes ah, yes ah, last time my friend and I watched their debut performance, and we were completely captivated by them! Especially their captain, he’s really handsome!”

“En, en, the captain is very good, but I prefer brother Xiao Li, his smile takes my breath away ah!”

“I like Susu the most, he sings so gently, and he is so kawaii!!”

“Aiya, be quiet, they’ll come in a second, ssht–”

Bai Zhen Zhen raised her eyebrows. She didn’t chase stars, let alone stars in this book, she would not even know.

And she didn’t care about which stars would be appearing today, she only cared about when the lottery would be drawn.

She thought about it. When she hears she’s the winner, she must pretend to be surprised, then excitedly pull Huo Xiang’s little paws through the crowd, going on stage to make a public display of affection. At that time, her smile must be natural! She must give full play to her acting skills!

–Hey, hold on! What band did the two girls just now say?!

–STAR?! Wasn’t that the third male lead, Xi Xixi’s band when he debuted?!

Bai Zhen Zhen remembered that, according to the plot in the book, the third male lead met the protagonist when he had just debuted.

Because of some differences with the rest of the band members, the third male lead had been criticized by many of the band’s ultra-fans. He sank into low self-esteem and inferiority complex, almost falling into depression. It was the protagonist who encouraged him and led him out of his most gloomy time.

Because of this, he fell in love with the protagonist, who was 3 years older than him. Even if he later flew solo and became a big star, he was not shy about pursuing her.

But not all fans who chase stars are rational. To the extent that when the third male lead announced he loved the protagonist, the protagonist was fed a mouthful of rooster ginseng¹ by some of his irrational fans. She even frequently received threatening letters and some horrifying things.

This could also be considered a rough moment in her bumpy life.

At this moment, Bai Zhen Zhen was doubtful — the STAR in the mouth of these young girls, it wouldn’t be the STAR she knew, right?!

The explosion of music was accompanied by the appearance of 4 young brothers in the front of the stage. The audience, especially the young women, immediately shrieked.

Bai Zhen Zhen saw for a split second a certain familiar silhouette, and she abruptly patted her thigh excitedly, scaring Huo Xiang at her side into a cold shiver.

Huo Xiang: “… Are you alright?”

Bai Zhen Zhen ignored him, raptly looking at the little fresh meat² singing and dancing RAP onstage, her heart feeling extremely excited.

—It really was the third male lead, meeting him after a long time!

It looked like her decision to hire a boyfriend for today— in the end was completely worth it!!

T^T finally done with my exams!! woah it’s been so tiring… but now it’s over hehe…
