Chapter 139

~7 min read 1,327 words

"I believe my fans will definitely come."

Zhou Zhennan muttered to himself, not knowing if he was using this sentence to explain to the manager in front of him or to comfort his own pale self.

Waiting and waiting, Zhou Zhennan spent the entire morning in the gymnasium's lounge.

As the time approached the start of the concert in the afternoon, the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger.

According to common sense, with a large wave of fans entering, the gymnasium shouldn't be quiet.

But during the process of his waiting, he never heard the noise outside.

That is to say, did really no one come?!

Just as Zhou Zhennan's mentality was nearing collapse, it was the planned start time of the concert.

Walking towards the lifting platform, Zhou Zhennan closed his eyes, and when he rose to the center of the stage and opened his eyes to look at all the audience seats, the smile on his face could no longer be maintained!

In the huge gymnasium, only a dozen fans came!

You know, in order to maintain the discipline of this concert, Zhou Zhennan's studio dispatched a full one hundred security guards.

At this moment, an absurd thought arose in Zhou Zhennan's heart.

What is the use of these hundred-plus security guards?!

Could it be to watch these dozen fans for fear they might run away?!

With thick powder on his face, it still couldn't hide Zhou Zhennan's paleness.

Watching the fans closest to the stage look at him, Zhou Zhennan stiffened his face and forced a smile.

"Good afternoon everyone, I am Zhou Zhennan, welcome to my concert."

As soon as the words fell, he saw a fan under the stage waving the glow stick in his hand very happily.

Is this encouraging him?!

Seeing the large swing of this fan's movement, Zhou Zhennan felt so moved he was about to cry.

This is definitely his die-hard fan!

With a move in his heart, Zhou Zhennan took two steps in one, walked in front of the waving fan, handed over the microphone, and said excitedly.

"This friend, where did you come from?! You've worked hard all the way!"

Just as Zhou Zhennan was thinking about including this fan in his core fan group, he saw the middle-aged man in front of him suddenly blurt out a sentence.

"I'm a local, who are you?!"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhennan's heart skipped a beat.

What's going on?!

How could this fan not know who he is?!

Subconsciously thinking this fan was joking, Zhou Zhennan couldn't help but say.

"Don't you know who I am?!"

As soon as the words were out, he saw the middle-aged man in front of him scratch his head and blurt out.

"My kid wanted to buy a glow stick, and as a result, buying a glow stick just gave me several concert tickets for free!"

Hearing this, the microphone in Zhou Zhennan's hand almost fell.

Forced to take tickets?!

What is going on?!

Before Zhou Zhennan could react, several other audience members next to the middle-aged man couldn't help but speak up.

"What?! You actually got them for buying a glow stick, I even spent twenty yuan to buy them!"

"Holy crap! You only spent twenty yuan, I spent twenty-five!"

"I spent twenty-five too, what a huge loss!"

Just as a group of fans were discussing who lost more, Zhou Zhennan's heart sank further.

Scanning with his eyes, his gaze fell on a young man who hadn't spoken all along.

"You are my fan, right?"

While saying this, his gaze vaguely had a hint of pleading.

Under Zhou Zhennan's gaze, he saw the boy in front of him say carelessly.

"I was buying watermelon on the road, and was forced to take tickets on the way home! Didn't you see I came here wearing flip-flops?!"

With a boom, Zhou Zhennan felt as if something had exploded in his brain, and it went blank.

He recognized every word, but put together, he just felt he couldn't understand it at all?!

Forced to take tickets?!

That is to say, the only dozen or so people who came were just a few people the organizers grabbed on the road because they were afraid the scene would be too ugly.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhennan felt his eyes go dark, and his whole body trembled.

The next second, he fell off the stage.

At the moment of closing his eyes, Zhou Zhennan only had one last thought.

He shouldn't have held a concert on this day!

On the other side, Ye Xuan, who was holding a book signing at the same time, knew nothing about Zhou Zhennan's breakdown.

On May 1st, Ye Xuan got up early and rushed from Qiong Village to downtown Qianzhou.

After meeting Editor-in-Chief Hua for a meal, Ye Xuan listened to Editor-in-Chief Hua introduce everything in detail.

"Mr. Ye, please rest for a while, our book signing starts at one o'clock in the afternoon..."

Listening to Editor-in-Chief Hua chatter on, Ye Xuan also had a general understanding of the whole process.

After twelve o'clock, the two set off together for the museum, the venue for this book signing.

Before entering the venue, Ye Xuan heard the commotion nearby from afar.

Clearly, many book fans had been waiting for a long time.

Getting out of the car, looking ahead, the entrance was already a sea of people, having long surrounded the museum tightly.

Led by Editor-in-Chief Hua, Ye Xuan bypassed the main entrance and entered the venue.

The museum adopted a high-ceiling design, and the crystal chandeliers hanging from the glass dome were a full eight or nine meters long, looking solemn and magnificent.

There were five floors in total, and the circular observation decks from the second to the fifth floor could clearly see the layout of the first floor.

At this moment, huge posters had long been posted on the display boards in the book area on the first floor.

The posters not only had Ye Xuan's photos but also listed Ye Xuan's works to date.

Among them, the five big characters "Ye Xuan Book Signing" looked particularly eye-catching.

In front of the long table used for signing, security had long pulled up fences, and the crowd was lined up in a spiral shape in an orderly manner.

And the second to fifth floors of the entire venue were also crowded with people.

At a glance, it was full of heads.

Estimating that the number of people inside the venue and outside the venue added together, there must be several thousand, and Ye Xuan's expression immediately became awkward.

Is it still too late for him to retreat now?!

If he signs like this, his hand will be ruined today!

Editor-in-Chief Hua on the side had no idea of Ye Xuan's thoughts; seeing that the time was approaching one o'clock in the afternoon, he appeared in front of the book fans first and picked up the microphone to say some polite words.

"Good afternoon everyone, I am Hua Xin, the person in charge of this book signing.

So many people came today, is everyone very eager to see Ye Xuan?.` !"

Many book fans under the stage were stunned when they heard Editor-in-Chief Hua's name.

Some even laughed out loud.

Even Ye Xuan, who was hiding behind the display board and hadn't shown his face, couldn't help but hold back his laughter.

After all, when he first heard Editor-in-Chief Hua's full name, he also felt that this name was truly well-chosen.

At this moment, hearing Editor-in-Chief Hua's next question, which he knew the answer to, everyone was amused.

Isn't this nonsense?

Did everyone travel thousands of miles to see this Editor-in-Chief Hua?

Many book fans directly let out bursts of "hissing" sounds, and some book fans shouted loudly.

"Where is Ye Xuan?! Where is Ye Xuan?!"

These reactions were clearly urging Editor-in-Chief Hua, the host, to get off the stage quickly.
