Chapter 683

"Lantern Festival Gala?"

Seeing Jin Li was somewhat surprised. There are not many days left until the Lantern Festival Gala now, and she thought such large-scale galas would be arranged a month in advance.

Considering that everyone was celebrating the New Year before, the school should have arranged the programs before the New Year.

The student union member who approached her said helplessly, "We set the programs before the holiday last semester, but members of two programs have encountered problems.

One is a solo dance program; the member performing it accidentally broke a bone before school started, so we can only replace her temporarily.

The other is a three-person group dance; one of the students also had an accident with her health and is still lying in a hospital bed. We can't change it to a duet, so it also needs to be rearranged."

The student union person said, "It's fine to temporarily call other students to perform on stage, but you and Gu Cheng have more experience, so we still hope you can fill in directly."

Stars have so many performance stages, their reaction ability is certainly not something students can compare with.

Their emergency response ability is also different.

Suddenly being arranged to go on stage, a student with 100% ability might only be able to display 80%, but a star can guarantee to display 100%, and can even perform extraordinarily well.

Not only did the student union person approach her, but the counselor also communicated with Seeing Jin Li after knowing about it, to see if she could spare time during the Lantern Festival Gala.

Seeing Jin Li didn't agree immediately, but said, "I'll reply tonight. I have to ask my manager first if there are any arrangements."

Others also knew that a star's work is all arranged in advance.

Now there are only 4 days left until the Lantern Festival Gala. If the time wasn't very urgent, they wouldn't have approached Seeing Jin Li and Gu Cheng for emergency help.

Seeing Jin Li made a phone call to Sister Fang and asked her if there were any announcements arranged for her on the Lantern Festival.

Sui Lingfang: "No, didn't you just start school? I just wanted you to settle down, adapt to the school atmosphere, and bring your focus back."

Her tone changed, "But if you feel you can go out and walk around on the Lantern Festival, I have a few good announcements here for you to choose from.

You can perform a program on stage, or just sit in the audience as a guest. The appearance fees for both are quite high.

If you don't want to perform and don't want to watch the program, you can also participate in brand announcements. On this Lantern Festival, whether it's Fang Fei or Rumengling, or several other light luxury brands, they all have activities, and it's quite grand."

Seeing Jin Li laughed and said, "No, if possible, I just want to stay in school and go nowhere."

Sui Lingfang asked curiously, "Then why did you suddenly ask me if there were any arrangements on the Lantern Festival?"

Seeing Jin Li explained the matter of the school wanting her to help in an emergency.

"I am considering it, and I feel I can participate."

Sui Lingfang pondered for a while and said, "As your manager, looking at it from a commercial perspective, you are already a very famous first-tier star. Even if a university like Qingbei wants to invite you to appear, they still have to pay an appearance fee."

"However," she smiled, "you are a student of Qingbei, and it has a different meaning to you, so just choose according to your heart."

"I haven't seen those famous alumni return to their alma mater to give lectures and still have to make the alma mater pay an appearance fee. Schools are all different in your hearts.

It gave you a platform for development, let you achieve a better self, and you grew up in its nurturing. When you have the ability, you will also repay its cultivation."

Sui Lingfang's voice became very soft, "Seeing Jin Li, I am proud of you for being able to stand on the stage of Qingbei and perform."

Seeing Jin Li's expression also became gentle, reflecting the sunlight outside the window, and her eyes seemed to be plated with a layer of shallow, fragmented gold.

"Yes, I am also proud of myself."

Not long after she promised the counselor that she was willing to perform, she suddenly received a message from Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng: 【Look downstairs】

Seeing Jin Li ran to the balcony and looked down, and saw Gu Cheng below looking up and waving at her.

Seeing Jin Li smiled shallowly.

She quickly ran down to the dormitory and bumped palms with Gu Cheng, "Happy start of school!"

Gu Cheng smiled, "Happy start of school. You are so energetic; you look like you're in good condition."

Seeing Jin Li shrugged, "Maybe I really love learning!"

School has been open for several days, and this was the first time she and Gu Cheng met on campus.

Because Gu Cheng was delayed by announcements, he only officially returned to school today and even missed a major lecture.

But for their directing major, practical experience is more important. Although theory is also important, it's relatively not grasped too strictly.

Gu Cheng walked with her on campus, and he mainly came to talk to her about the Lantern Festival Gala.

"Did the school approach you?" he asked.

Seeing Jin Li nodded, "Yes, they also mentioned they would look for you. It just so happens that two programs have to be temporarily replaced because of the dancers' health problems."

Before Gu Cheng could continue asking, Seeing Jin Li added, "I have already contacted Sister Fang, and she said she didn't arrange any announcements for me on the Lantern Festival, so whether I want to participate is up to me."

Gu Cheng sighed, "Brother Guang is still communicating with me."

Seeing Jin Li: "Mm?"

Gu Cheng said helplessly, "After I entered school last semester, the volume of announcements decreased a lot, which led to netizens being very concerned about my life at Qingbei.

I didn't live stream, and fans couldn't find where I was, so they could only discuss it on the internet.

Because the popularity has always been relatively high, the announcement parties also generously invited me, so Brother Guang took the opportunity during the New Year to stuff a bunch of announcements for me, helping me arrange them all the way to the Lantern Festival."

"But this time the school didn't approach me. If there are no accidents, I have to go to the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala on the Lantern Festival."

Seeing Jin Li was somewhat surprised, "CCTV Gala? The standard is a bit high!"

Gu Cheng nodded, "Yes, precisely because of this, it's tricky.

I want to participate in the school's one, but Brother Guang is not sure if the CCTV side can push it. After all, it's also been rehearsed for a long time, and the program is fixed."

The CCTV Lantern Festival Gala is not as complicated as the Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival Gala might have programs eliminated even three days before it's held, and the final list might only be decided on the night of the Spring Festival.

Many stars are waiting backstage, ready to go on stage at any time.

But they also know that they might never go on stage.

Seeing Jin Li couldn't help but say, "If it's very troublesome, then forget it. The school side is not without a contingency plan; temporarily finding someone to fill in the program, they can certainly find someone."

Gu Cheng still said, "But I still want to participate in the school's performance program."

Seeing Jin Li was puzzled, "You are very passionate about the school?"

To be honest, Gu Cheng doesn't look like someone who is very loyal and fanatical about his alma mater.

It might be that his appearance is of the cold type, and he is relatively slow to warm up, so he gives people a sense of distance.

Only after getting along for a long time can one feel his sincere and burning heart.

At least Seeing Jin Li didn't see from Gu Cheng how much he worshipped his alma mater.

Gu Cheng coughed lightly, his eyes looking into the distance somewhat evasively.

"I asked about their program arrangements, and they said they would arrange our two programs together; you sing first, and then I sing."

Seeing Jin Li looked at him, "Just this?"

She didn't quite believe that this point could convince Gu Cheng.

Although she hadn't performed on the same stage with Gu Cheng, her personal stage performances were already very few, except for the few stages she contributed when she first participated in the talent show variety.

Basically, she only showed her face at other people's concerts.

Not to mention, Sanyuetian had held many concerts before, but Seeing Jin Li didn't serve as a guest performer, at most she was just an audience member.

After all, for her body at that time, it was still too difficult to coordinate with the dance rhythm of the boy group and sing at the same time.

Gu Cheng originally wanted to nod firmly, but under Seeing Jin Li's gaze, he hesitated a bit.

Seeing Jin Li gently tugged at his sleeve with her hand, silently urging him to speak quickly.

Gu Cheng was defeated, "Alright, they also promised me that if I am willing to perform, they will let me have an interaction with you."

Seeing Jin Li was stunned, "What interaction? Why didn't they tell me?"

Gu Cheng coughed a few times, "There's nothing to say; it's just a simple interaction. I will personally call you to come on stage to perform. Between the intersection of lights, you and I will exchange stages."

Seeing Jin Li:...

Alright, to put it bluntly, he still wants to perform with me!

Gu Cheng looked at Seeing Jin Li, and there was only her in his eyes.

His eyes are the kind of affectionate eyes, it's just that his expression is cold and stern usually, so it's not very obvious.

But when he gazes at someone, his gaze is so focused that it's as if that person is his whole world.

The camera might find it difficult to capture this feeling, but the person being gazed at by him can feel it.

Seeing Jin Li originally wanted to tell him not to mess around, but now it was really a bit difficult to say it out loud.

Who can refuse a big, cute dog?

Especially when he is still acting spoiled and coquettish!

Seeing Jin Li said with very weak willpower, "Although, the Lantern Festival Gala is more important. You should still go to the Lantern Festival Gala, don't affect your reputation in the industry. That is organized by CCTV!"

Gu Cheng still wanted to say something, but his phone rang.

It was Zhang Guang calling.

Without turning on the speakerphone, Seeing Jin Li didn't know how they communicated. Gu Cheng just kept saying "Okay," "Can do," "Let's do it this way" throughout the whole process.

A few minutes later, Gu Cheng hung up the phone and said with a happy face:

"Brother Guang communicated with me. The organizers of the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala know that I want to support the Lantern Festival Gala at Qingbei, and communicated with me that they can adjust my program to be later.

Then Qingbei adjusted our program to be earlier. We perform at Qingbei, and then I go to the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala. Anyway, everyone is here in the Imperial Capital, the distance is not far, and the time is enough."

Seeing Jin Li was somewhat worried, "Will it really not be too stressful?"

Gu Cheng shook his head, "No, I want to be on the same stage with you, even if it's just a short interaction."

Seeing Jin Li didn't speak now.

The next day, when the two went to rehearse, Seeing Jin Li suddenly said, "After you finish performing, I will go with you to the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala."

Gu Cheng was stunned.

Seeing Jin Li smiled, "But I won't go on stage to perform. I will sit in the audience and watch your performance.

So for the program side, let's swap the order. I perform first, and you perform after me. I will do this interaction with you."

Gu Cheng opened his mouth, somewhat not knowing what to say.

When a surprise arrives, it turns out the brain is blank and language is at a loss.

Only the simplest language can express the joy of this moment.

He is really so happy, so happy, super happy!!

Especially since Seeing Jin Li also said afterwards—

"This time, it's my turn to run towards you."

The gossip post on the Qingbei intranet has suddenly become lively again recently.

Teenagers in their adolescence, besides being more diligent in their studies, only some dramatic things can attract their discussion.

Discussions about learning are not in this section either.

This is a special emotional section, where many students have found pen pals, book friends, and even boyfriends and girlfriends here.

Suddenly, a post appeared out of nowhere, attracting the attention of many people.

【Did you see the list for the Lantern Festival Gala? Two programs were changed. Who knows the situation?】

1L: 【Saw it, changed to Gu Cheng and Seeing Jin Li's solo programs】

Gu Cheng and Seeing Jin Li are stars. A star's privacy in the public eye is approximately equal to zero. These people all use their full names to discuss them.

2L: 【Why, is there inside information?】

3L: 【The two programs that were replaced, one had the solo dancer injured, and one had the lead dancer hospitalized. How else can they perform? They can only change people】

4L: 【No wonder, then it's very normal to change to two big stars, after all, the time is so tight】

5L: 【Don't you think these two people are a bit subtle? Even if the programs are changed, they are arranged with such a couple-like feeling, one after the other】

6L: 【A love song duet would have more of a couple-like feeling (.)】

7L: 【Don't say, I really want to hear them sing a love song duet, it feels very good】

8L: 【Can I make a wish for them to perform a program together? I want to hear a love song duet!】

This post quickly became a hot topic on the internal forum and was pushed to Gu Cheng by his roommate.

The roommate asked curiously, "They all feel that your relationship with Seeing Jin Li is unusual. Do you want to use your main account to clarify the rumors?"

Gu Cheng took a look and pretended not to care, saying, "The innocent are self-innocent. If I have to clarify every rumor, I'd be busy to death every day."

He paused, "Besides, I wasn't very innocent to begin with."

Others:...

Did they hear it wrong just now!!

After Gu Cheng left, the remaining roommates gathered together to discuss.

They unanimously believed that although Gu Cheng's relationship with Seeing Jin Li is good, Gu Cheng should still be in a state of unrequited love.

So...

They must maintain Gu Cheng's relationship!

Absolutely cannot let the "secret crush" rumor spread. Wait until Gu Cheng really chases Seeing Jin Li before talking!

The roommate known as "Know-it-all" was sandwiched between "Shocked Brother" and "Mediocre Brother," listening to the two of them making passionate declarations, and couldn't help but raise his hand:

"No, do you guys really not go online? What is your internet speed? Seeing Jin Li and Gu Cheng have been a couple for a long time!"

Shocked Brother: "Did they make it public?"

Mediocre Brother: "Why doesn't the encyclopedia say they are a couple?"

Know-it-all: "Isn't this all implied? As long as you look at online news, you will know that many netizens actually know they are together!"

Shocked Brother: "Oh, so it's not public."

Mediocre Brother: "After saying so much, it turns out it's still just netizens' brain-filling."

Know-it-all:...

Shocked Brother asked again: "Did they live together?"

Mediocre Brother: "Are they married?"

Know-it-all: "... No."

Shocked Brother/Mediocre Brother: "It turns out that them being together is all rumors made up by netizens!"

Know-it-all:...

Can't explain it to two straight men who don't ship CP!!
