Chapter 173: I Think You Are Fooling Me
After hesitating for a while, Lu Yan He replied to Lin Miaomiao: Don't guess blindly.
He put down his phone, didn't care about the new messages, looked up at the night sky above his head, and smiled quite happily.
After about twenty minutes, Lu Yan He returned to the dressing room.
Cheng Hai had already finished his individual performance, and the individual performances of the five of them were all over, leaving only the last joint performance "Dream Chasing Youth."
When Lu Yan He returned to the dressing room, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong.
Li Zhibai's face was very ugly, gloomy, his arms crossed in front of his chest, not saying a word, and not looking at his phone, as if he was sulking.
Lu Yan He whispered to Yan Liang: "What's wrong?"
Yan Liang clicked on something on his phone and handed it to Lu Yan He.
It was a post. Someone updated a status on their personal social page, saying that they were at the scene of the "Don't Say Goodbye · Graduation Season" gala. During Li Zhibai's performance earlier, someone next to her was holding a laser pointer and shooting at Li Zhibai's eyes, and was caught by security. When this person was caught, he was very angry and scolded that Li Zhibai deserved it.
This post was a screenshot, and no more information could be seen. It was forwarded to Weibo and attracted considerable attention.
Originally, Li Zhibai being irradiated by a laser pointer during his performance was seen by many people during the livestream. Now this post just confirmed this matter through the perspective of the audience at the scene.
Lu Yan He was a bit puzzled, mainly because he didn't understand why Li Zhibai would become gloomy because of this screenshot.
Li Zhibai clearly looked quite open-minded before.
Lu Yan He looked at Yan Liang suspiciously.
Yan Liang swiped the screen immediately and showed it to Lu Yan He.
The second screenshot was the comment section of the first screenshot post.
The content of the first hot comment wrote: "It seems that the person who used the laser pointer to shoot at Li Zhibai is Ma Zhiyuan's fan. Yesterday, someone in Ma Zhiyuan's support club said that they would give Li Zhibai a color to see today. Wouldn't it be her?"
Behind it was a group chat screenshot. The group chat name was "Zhiyuan Cool Boy", and an ID named "My Heart Clothes" spoke at 8:27 last night: I'm going to do a big thing tomorrow night. I want to teach Li Zhibai a lesson, so he will stay away from my Yuanbao in the future.
Lu Yan He looked at the content on the screenshot in surprise, stunned.
"True or false?" He asked Yan Liang in a low voice.
"Don't know if it's true or false, but just now after Li Zhibai saw this, he went to find Brother Ping'an, asking Brother Ping'an to confirm whether it was Ma Zhiyuan's fan. If it was Ma Zhiyuan's fan who did this, he wouldn't let it go so easily. As a result, Brother Ping'an refused to check this matter at this time," Yan Liang said in a low voice, sighing. "Brother Ping'an told him to perform well first and wait until the performance tonight is over before talking about this matter."
As soon as Yan Liang finished speaking, Li Zhibai snorted coldly and said: "What wait until the performance tonight is over before talking about this matter? He doesn't want to manage this matter at all. Ma Zhiyuan is about to transfer to his hands. How could he cause trouble for Ma Zhiyuan?"
Lu Yan He: "Don't bring emotions for now. If this matter is really intentional by Ma Zhiyuan's fans, then your fans are not vegetarians. How could they allow his fans to hurt you like this? Perform the performance well first, and calculate the account later. This is not something Zhou Ping'an can stop. Even if he intends to fool it, can the company watch you get hurt? Laser pointer shooting at eyes may cause damage to the eyes."
"Lu Yan He, stop sowing discord here!" Zhou Ping'an suddenly pushed the door in with a dark face. He glared at Lu Yan He angrily, as if glaring at an enemy. "You said I intended to fool it with empty teeth. Have you asked me before you said that?"
Lu Yan He was stunned for a moment, thought about what he said just now, and knew that Zhou Ping'an had misunderstood. He might have only heard the latter part of what he said.
"If you didn't hear the whole thing, don't take it out of context," Lu Yan He frowned. He didn't choose to be submissive this time, but directly denied it. "Didn't you hear the two words 'even if'? Now Li Zhibai's mood is affected because of your way of handling it, which he doesn't accept. I'm just trying to find a way to lift his spirit."
"Don't need your kindness!" Zhou Ping'an didn't listen to Lu Yan He's explanation at all, and didn't seem to believe what Lu Yan He said.
"You are quite protective of me at this time, huh? Why didn't I see you protect me clearly just now?" Li Zhibai sneered at Zhou Ping'an. "Don't think it's Old Lu who is slandering you. It's me who is unhappy. Isn't it because you are preparing to take over Ma Zhiyuan? Anyway, he is so popular, you just manage him alone, why do you still care about us?"
Zhou Ping'an clenched his fists in anger.
"Don't be stupid at this time, Li Zhibai! I didn't say I wouldn't pursue this matter, I just asked you not to break out at this time. There are many people here, what do you want to do?" He lowered his voice and said.
Li Zhibai looked at him coldly, saying: "Then let me ask, if it is really Ma Zhiyuan's fan who intentionally used a laser pointer to shoot at my eyes today, will you condemn it?"
"Of course!" Zhou Ping'an said firmly.
"Then will you point out that the person who used the laser pointer to shoot at my eyes today is Ma Zhiyuan's fan?!" Li Zhibai asked without hesitation.
Zhou Ping'an didn't speak.
He glared at Li Zhibai angrily, was silent for a moment, and then said: "This is not something I can decide."
"Then listen well, Zhou Ping'an," Li Zhibai was expressionless, his eyes as cold as covered in frost. "I think you are fooling me, understand? These words were not said by Lu Yan He, he is not sowing discord, it is I who think you are fooling me. I am very unhappy now."
Zhou Ping'an was silent for two seconds, bit his teeth hard, "Okay, you are great, you have a big temper, I can't manage you, right? Do whatever you want. You are performing tonight. If you want to perform with such resentment, then go! Anyway, your family is rich, you will still be supported without me!"
Zhou Ping'an turned and left the dressing room in anger.
As soon as he rushed out, Chen Ziyan walked in.
"Did your agent eat gunpowder or was his invisible tail stepped on? Why did he rush out like a bomb?" Chen Ziyan looked at everyone in the room and found the "culprit", looking at Li Zhibai helplessly, "Why are you making your agent angry for no reason?"
Li Zhibai turned his head away.
"It's not that I made him angry, it's that he made me angry," Li Zhibai said in a cold and hard tone.
Lu Yan He: "..."
When Li Zhibai loses his temper, no one can persuade him, and he doesn't recognize anyone.
Chen Ziyan: "Anger is anger, you should still adjust your state. The audience at the scene bought tickets with money. They have no obligation to bear the consequences of your anger and watch a performance that is not in state."
Li Zhibai said: "At worst, I will refund their tickets."
"Is this your attitude as an artist?" Chen Ziyan's tone was gentle but powerful. "It's normal for people to have tempers, but as an artist, you have to control your temper and adjust your state. This is professionalism."
Li Zhibai moved his mouth, seemingly wanting to refute, but finally closed it and didn't say anything more.
On the stage side, MX just finished performing, and a group of people went off stage.
Chen Jing followed at the end, sweating profusely, and his clothes were soaked.
Performing outdoors in this weather is no different from soaking in a hot spring.
He touched the sweat on his head, wanting to rub it with his sleeve, but thinking that the clothes on his body were borrowed and had to be returned later, if he rubbed his sleeve, makeup would stick to it.
Chen Jing could only give up.
A group of people returned to the lounge, and the cool air made everyone feel much more comfortable.
No one spoke during the whole process, including Ma Zhiyuan, Qu Yousong, and Wei Zhuoran.
The performance just now made several mistakes. First, Wei Zhuoran and Jiang Bai's positioning was wrong. To be precise, Wei Zhuoran walked the wrong position and bumped into Jiang Bai, then Qu Yousong entered the wrong beat, leading to a chaotic few syllables in the middle, and finally Ma Zhiyuan forgot the most critical jumping action. When other members jumped up, Ma Zhiyuan stood in place alone, looking like a fool.
The whole performance couldn't be called a mess, but it was indeed unsatisfactory.
Chen Jing didn't say anything.
However, despite this, Qu Yousong still vented his anger on him.
"Chen Jing, are you particularly dissatisfied? Did we drag you down?" Qu Yousong said yin and yang. 【173-
Chen Jing said nothing.
However, despite this, Qu Yousong still took his anger out on him.
"Chen Jing, are you particularly dissatisfied? Are we holding you back? We all made mistakes, and you're the only one who didn't," Qu Yousong said sarcastically.
Chen Jing frowned at him and said nothing.
Ma Zhiyuan glanced sideways at Qu Yousong and said, "Say less. Isn't the mood bad enough already?"
"Everyone online is laughing at us." Wei Zhuoran glanced at his phone and sighed, "I really haven't performed in a long time, and I've become rusty. I'm sorry, I dragged you all down."
"We're all on the same team, why say things like that?" Ma Zhiyuan gave him an annoyed look.
If you make a mistake, you have to apologize? Then did he have to apologize too?
Wei Zhuoran was looking at his phone when he suddenly saw a trending search term.
"Hmm?" He looked at Ma Zhiyuan in surprise.
Seeing this, Ma Zhiyuan misunderstood, thinking it was about the discussion sparked online by his mistake on stage earlier, "How are they scolding me?"
"No, it's that you and Li Zhibai are trending," Wei Zhuoran said. "Someone is saying that the person who used a laser pointer to shine into Li Zhibai's eyes earlier is your fan."
Wei Zhuoran's gaze flickered, complex; he didn't know how Ma Zhiyuan would react after hearing this.
In fact, Ma Zhiyuan did not react immediately either, but fell silent.
