Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore-Chapter 376: Peach Gala, Boy Group Dance!

"Ah, don't even mention it. It's precisely because I didn't manage to grab a ticket that I wasn't planning to come. But I just couldn't give up completely, so I thought I'd come look for scalpers and try my luck."

The Group Owner let out a long sigh. "I didn't manage to get a ticket for tomorrow either. Why am I so unlucky?"

"Hehe—" Xue Yiwei proudly waved her phone. "This humble girl isn't that talented, but I did manage to grab an entry ticket for tomorrow too!"

"Ahhh, damn it—"

The Group Owner's eyes were practically glowing green with envy, her heart itching to stab Xue Yiwei. But Dong Nizhen just spread her hands. "Have you forgotten about the meeting you have tomorrow?"

"Oh, right."

Xue Yiwei's face instantly fell.

But the Group Owner's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xue Yiwei with an expectant expression. "My dear Little Box, are you willing to transfer your ticket?"

"Sigh, I definitely can't go tomorrow. I can transfer it to you, but—" Xue Yiwei glanced at the short-haired girl beside her.

"It's fine, don't worry about me. I can't go tomorrow either."

The short-haired girl shrugged.

"Alright then."

Xue Yiwei and the Group Owner completed a simple transaction, transferring the ticket in her hand to the other.

"So, I'm the only one who can go tomorrow?"

The Group Owner looked at the three people in front of her and suddenly felt the pressure was quite heavy.

"I heard it's a boy group dance tomorrow too—Brother Xiao's debut singing and dancing stage—"

Xue Yiwei said with deep regret.

Dong Nizhen patted the Group Owner's shoulder, entrusting her solemnly. "Brother Xiao's live stage performance is up to you!"

The Group Owner immediately felt the weight on her shoulders grow heavier. She instantly straightened her posture, her face filled with heroic ambition. "Okay, don't worry! I will definitely capture Brother Xiao's best side!"

…

Xiao He was unaware of his fans' anticipation. After returning to the villa, he immediately confirmed the next day's work schedule with Liu Rulan. "Tomorrow's timing is about the same as today's. For the afternoon rehearsal, Lu Yuxi should arrive on time, right?"

Liu Rulan nodded. "I've already spoken with the Program Director. They've reminded him several times as well. If that guy is late again, then he's truly beyond saving."

"That's good."

Xiao He didn't say anything more.

The night passed without dreams, and in the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the next day, time for makeup and styling.

This time, Lu Yuxi finally wasn't late again.

When Xiao He saw people already coming and going from the neighboring dressing room, he was somewhat shocked. "He came this early today?"

Liu Rulan also glanced over and said, "If he wasn't on time again, the people he'd offend would be far more than just us."

"That's true too."

Xiao He went to his own dressing room to begin preparing for makeup and styling.

-

By the time Xiao He finished his makeup and came out, Lu Yuxi and Xie Jingshi were already waiting for him.

Xiao He glanced at Lu Yuxi, then nodded an apology to Xie Jingshi. "Sorry, I'm a bit late."

"It's fine. They've only just started running through the procedures over there."

Xie Jingshi said, gesturing for Xiao He to sit.

Xiao He didn't stand on ceremony either. After sitting down, he continued to wait. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Not long after, the time for their final rehearsal arrived.

Today, Lu Yuxi was surprisingly cooperative. The entire rehearsal went very smoothly, with almost no issues arising.

Xiao He finally felt a little more at ease.

But just as he stepped off the stage, he saw Lu Yuxi had fallen asleep on a nearby chair.

Xiao He: …

"Brother Xiao, I heard he pulled an all-nighter yesterday, only slept this morning, got up at noon to reduce the swelling a bit, and came straight over."

Xiao Chen whispered gossip from the side.

Xiao He found it hard to understand. "He just came back from an all-nighter?"

"Didn't you see his face was all puffy earlier?" Xiao Chen pouted. "He came right after waking up. During makeup, he downed two cups of black coffee in one go. I admire him;he's not afraid of sudden death."

Xiao He: ? Downed two cups in one go? Is he Superman?

Xiao He was even afraid Lu Yuxi would have excessive caffeine intake and his heart would jump out of his throat.

"Then why is he sleeping again now?"

"Probably really too tired, and the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet." Xiao Chen shrugged. "If I drank like that, my heart would explode at night."

"Shh."

Xiao He gave Xiao Chen a look.

"Anyway, regardless of his condition, we just need to focus on ourselves."

"Hehe, that's true too."

Xiao Chen nodded and didn't say anything more. The two of them sat quietly in the lounge, browsing the situation online.

Soon, dusk fell, and the performance was about to begin.

Just before going on stage, Xiao He inadvertently noticed Lu Yuxi drinking another cup of coffee.

His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. In the end, he said nothing, adjusted his own clothes, and waited for the entrance.

-

Xi Han checked the seat numbers one by one and successfully found and sat in her seat.

Looking at the vast, unobstructed stage in front of her, Xi Han took a deep breath and pulled out her support light stick.

Just then, someone sat down in the empty seat next to her.

The other person seemed to have noticed the support light stick in Xi Han's hand and asked somewhat timidly, "Are you also a Little Box fan?"

Xi Han looked up and saw a little girl with a somewhat pale face, looking very thin and frail, also holding an identical support light stick.

"Yes."

Xi Han gave the other a shy smile and continued looking down to send messages.

[Group Owner: Report, I am already seated in the audience. [stage.jpg]]

[Little Box: Wow, this seat's view is really great! Sob sob, crying again, why can't I go.]

[Wind Rustling: Group Owner is also at the venue! So envious. This time it's very likely a limited edition boy group Little He. Too bad I can't see it in person.]

[Group Owner: Hehe, I promise to record a high-definition video for you all when Brother Xiao takes the stage.]

[Azure Sky Cloud Crane: Sigh, why am I abroad? (worried worried)]

[Hehe: So you've been abroad recently. I was wondering why you've been posting less lately.]

[Azure Sky Cloud Crane: Sad, want to cry.]

[Group Owner: Wow, it's starting, it's starting!]

[Group Owner: Why does the host never age? The real person doesn't have a single wrinkle. [photo][photo][photo]]

[Group Owner: Feels like XX family's live performance isn't that bad either. Maybe because the venue is hyped up, people can't help but sway along.]

[…]

[Crane Little Black: Enough! As if no one else has a live stream! I want to see the live broadcast of Brother Xiao's performance!!!]

[Hehe: Judging by the timing, it should be soon.]

[Wind Rustling: It's coming, it's coming!]

As soon as the group friend reminded them, Xi Han had already put down her phone and pulled out the camera from her bag.

It was only then that she noticed the sister next to her had directly pulled out a long-focus camera comparable to a cannon. The setup looked less like filming and more like sniping.

Xi Han: !!! How on earth did this frail body manage to carry this thing?!

Before she could think further, ahead, the originally pitch-black stage suddenly lit up with a dark red light, vaguely carrying a sense of dangerous loss of control.

A rhythmic whistling accompaniment sounded from both sides of the stage.

And when they heard that all-too-familiar intro, almost all the fans in the venue knew who was about to come on stage next. Instantly, the venue erupted with excited, sharp screams.

"Ahhh, Xie Jingshi!!!"

"Lu Yuxi, mommy loves you!"

"Brother Xiao!!! Ahhh!!!"

Amidst the frantic screams, three figures suddenly emerged from the dark red light.

Xi Han quickly raised her camera. With almost just one glance, she immediately fixed both her gaze and the lens in her hand on the figure of the young man on the left.

The young man wore a black shirt paired with tight suspenders, perfectly showcasing the solid but not overly bulky lines of his shoulders and back. The silver chain belt at his waist and the black cargo pants accentuated his slender waist and long legs, his aura in full force.

The deliberately heavy idol makeup on his face didn't make him seem effeminate. Instead, it made his brows and eyes appear even sharper. His facial contours, illuminated by the dark red lights, stood out exceptionally, carrying an air of mystery.

At that moment, Xi Han felt as if her heart had been instantly squeezed, making her completely unable to look away.

Last night, someone had said that Xiao He's stage presence was highly distinctive, unforgettable once seen.

Only now did Xi Han finally understand the worth of that statement.

It was an absolutely impossible feeling to experience through a live stream lens. The person on stage was emitting such a dangerous aura, setting off constant alarm bells in one's heart. Yet his powerful personal charisma and the stage lighting made it impossible to look away, like Stockholm syndrome, hopelessly wanting to go crazy for him.

As he precisely hit the beat and began to dance, the young man lowered his eyes and entered his own dance rhythm. His deliberately lowered, husky voice carried a hint of lingering sensuality. Xi Han clenched her fists, feeling like she was about to transform into a gorilla, pounding her chest and howling wildly in the audience seats. Her throat never stopped screaming, wishing she could fly onto the stage immediately.

How could someone be this handsome?

Making people want to be drawn to him against their very instincts!

Almost the moment the climax hit, Xi Han's fingers kept pressing the camera shutter on her phone as she sang along loudly. But it was also at this moment that the young man in her eyes abruptly faltered in his step. His fluid movements had a momentary, subtle flaw. Then, as if nothing had happened, he followed the beat, jumping to another part of the stage.

It was just a split second. Xi Han's eyes faithfully captured that instant, but her excited brain couldn't give her any extra feedback. She just kept screaming, enjoying the stage performance in front of her along with everyone else in the audience.

Only those in the know below the stage frowned tightly.
