Hidden Assassin 140

“…Um, what’s this classmate’s name?”

“My name is Ye Ling Jing, Miss Fang.”

“Oh, what a beautiful name. How about… a commemorative performance by Fang Yusi and Ye Ling Jing, okay?”

Writing this line of flamboyant signature with a signature pen on the title page of the notebook, Ling Jing took the book and held it to her chest, her face flushed with excitement, repeatedly thanking her: “That… I like your song ‘Late Poem’ the most, Miss Fang. I also really like, really like ‘Sleepless Tonight’…”

Seeing Ling Jing’s interest in Fang Yusi, Zhang Jingfeng naturally brought the topic to this, Dongfang Lu also agreed with laughter, Ya Han directed the students on stage to move the props. Although the topic revolved around Fang Yusi’s songs, how could the experienced Fang Yusi not see that the eyes of the two men beside her were almost all focused on the little girl named Ye Ling Jing. The attention they gave her was merely polite observation, which made her feel quite uncomfortable, but on the surface she naturally maintained an elegant and dignified smile.

Ling Jing herself, on the other hand, was somewhat restrained and excited as she spoke to Fang Yusi, a typical model of a crazed fan. Although her personality was usually calm, suddenly seeing her idol and being able to talk to her like a friend, Ling Jing was unable to adjust her mindset for a while, especially with two men beside her ambiguously showing their affection.

As they were talking, Dongfang Wan led Jia Ming in from the side door, followed closely by a sneaky-looking fat man. As soon as he entered, he fixed his lustful gaze on Fang Yusi, almost drooling.

“…Okay, you mainly take a look at the stage setup, consider the movement when you come out that day, try the sound effect… Hey, are you listening to me… Okay. Ling Jing is over there, and the big star Fang Yusi, but I don’t like that woman…”

She pursed her lips and mumbled softly, before she could finish, a fat face extended to her side: “I, I, I… I like her. Let’s go over there…” She couldn’t help but shake her head secretly. She had shared hardships with this guy before, and they had even talked a little while hiding in the man-made shelter from the storm. Back then, she hadn’t found this guy so annoying.

Jia Ming was naturally not looking at Fang Yusi, as he walked towards Ling Jing, he glanced at her expression, then at Zhang Jingfeng and Dongfang Lu beside him, whistled amusingly, Ling Jing blushed and gestured that her idol was nearby, sensing their approach. Fang Yusi glanced over, pausing briefly on Dongfang Wan, nodding in acknowledgement. Ya Han, not far away, smiled at Jia Ming, while Dongfang Lu smiled and patted his shoulder.

“Haha, you’re finally here. Xiaowan has been complaining to me, saying it was so hard to get you to come.”

“Uh, I can imagine…” Jia Ming lazily looked back at Dongfang Wan, only to see Dongfang Wan raise her chin and respond with a cold sneer. Seeing the expressions of the two, Dongfang Lu said with a smile: “By the way, for this performance, our student union has also put in a lot of effort. Jia Ming, take a look, what do you think of the stage setup? Give us some advice.”

“Stage setup?” Jia Ming looked around, looking innocent, “This stage has always been oval, it’s still oval, has it been set up?”

“Uh,” Dongfang Lu’s expression faltered, then he laughed, “Jia Ming, you’re really funny, uh… hehe, we just added some flowers and grass, and the banner up there, hehe, there are actually some things that haven’t been decided yet, Jia Ming’s here, we can discuss it, for example, your appearance time, the student union discussed it, and we think it’s best to let Jia Ming decide for himself, because you must be more professional than us in this area.”

At this time, Zhang Jingfeng also looked over amicably: “I didn’t expect Jia Ming to participate in this performance. I’ll definitely come to see it that night. If it’s Jia Ming, shouldn’t he be the final act?”

Dongfang Lu shook his head with a smile: “The final act is of course Miss Fang’s singing. As for Jia Ming… maybe we can arrange him before Miss Fang?”

Just now, Ye Ling Jing came over and stole some of Fang Yusi’s thunder. Now that Jia Ming arrived, it seemed that the center of the topic had suddenly shifted again. Looking at this male student whose appearance was extremely ordinary, listening to their conversation, Fang Yusi couldn’t help but feel a little confused. What kind of person is this guy? He seems to be such a big shot, everyone is paying so much attention to him?

How could she understand the thoughts of the people in front of her? This is a civilized society, and when rivals meet, it’s important to maintain decorum and courtesy. In Zhang Jingfeng’s mind, Jia Ming was already one of his imaginary rivals. Dongfang Lu’s thoughts were even more complex. On the one hand, he saw him as an enemy, on the other hand, he hoped to build a relationship with him after confirming that he and Ling Jing were just ordinary friends, and take the opportunity to contact Ling Jing. After all, a man and a woman who can live together, if they don’t have that kind of relationship, their relationship is probably similar to that of family members. If he wants to make a move on Ling Jing, Gu Jia Ming’s opinion definitely carries a lot of weight.

Rubbing his nose, Jia Ming said: “Don’t bother with all that. I want to be the first to appear. It’s best to get this over with early…”

“It might not be good to be the first to appear. If the standard is too high at the beginning, it will affect the performances later.” Dongfang Lu said with some difficulty, “Otherwise, put it in the middle. There are more than thirty programs in total, put it around the fifteenth position. The specifics can be arranged after we see the effect. Then the most important thing I think is the sound effect. Their show is almost over, Jia Ming, let’s go to the backstage control room and have a look.”

Putting his arm around Jia Ming’s shoulder in a very intimate manner, the two walked towards the backstage. Fang Yusi tentatively asked, “This classmate… is also a performer? I wonder what he’s performing?”

At this moment, around Fang Yusi, a fat man was rubbing his hands in a lecherous and excited manner. Dongfang Wan didn’t like this gold-digger, Ya Han was a few steps away, and Ling Jing was turning around and communicating with Jia Ming with expressions, just as she was about to answer, she heard Zhang Jingfeng laugh: “Miss Fang, guess?”

“Um… cross-talk or skit? But I guess he knows a lot about stage stuff, I can tell from what you’re saying.” She finished with a sense of self-righteousness and a slight sense of satisfaction, only to hear Zhang Jingfeng chuckle softly, and Ling Jing said: “No, he sings.”

“Sing… a song?” As a singer herself, Fang Yusi couldn’t help but widen her eyes in disbelief. These days, if you want to make a living by singing, you need not only a good voice, but also good looks. Even singers with unique characteristics can’t make it, let alone Jia Ming, who has no unique characteristics, “He… must be a good singer.”

“Yeah.” Zhang Jingfeng nodded, “He does sing very well. If I say…”

Before he could finish, Ling Jing said beside him, “Where, he just sings randomly, how can he sing as well as Sister Yusi.” After their conversation just now, Ling Jing naturally called her “sister” now. Seeing Ling Jing say this, Zhang Jingfeng couldn’t refute, thinking a little maliciously that Fang Yusi’s main purpose in coming to Jiang Hai City was probably to find the “Concept” band. If she knew that this Gu Jia Ming was the lead singer of “Concept”, I wonder what kind of wonderful expression she would have. Thinking about this, he chuckled softly, and then couldn’t help but look at Ling Jing again, feeling a little uneasy.

After a while, the rehearsal for the show above ended. When they moved the props away, Jia Ming came out from inside and helped move a chair. In the midst of the busyness, Fu Yan Jie, who had been standing next to Fang Yusi for a while, finally gathered his courage and walked up to her: “That… that, Fang, Fang, Fang… Fang Yusi… Oh, no, Yusi… no, Miss Fang…”

Seeing this man whose face was as red as braised pork, Fang Yusi couldn’t help but laugh a little. She nodded elegantly and amiably: “Um, hello, is there anything wrong?”

It was clear that Fu Yan Jie was Fang Yusi’s most die-hard fan, and he was even more flustered at this moment: “That, I, I, I… I admire you very much, I like you very much… your songs… I’ve bought all your albums. By the way… and your posters, I’ve bought every single one… I look at them every night… oh, no, no, no, um, I admire you very much, I think… I think…”

The people around stared at this fan who was so obsessed with his idol, that sentence “I look at them every night” gave people endless imagination, Fang Yusi’s expression was extremely complex. And the more nervous he was, the harder it became for him to speak. Just then, Jia Ming’s voice came from the stage.

“Cough, cough… cough, puff, puff, this is a sound check, a sound check. Don’t be nervous, everyone…”

This voice echoed in the hall, giving Fu Yan Jie a chance to buffer, he quickly turned his gaze to the stage, took a deep breath, calmed down, Fang Yusi took a bottle of mineral water and drank it awkwardly, secretly hating that her agent didn’t come today, so she couldn’t drive this guy away at the right time. She saw Jia Ming standing on the stage, pointing towards Fang Yusi’s direction, and continued: “The next song, dedicated to our cutest, most beautiful, most charming… Ye Ling Jing.”

Some people in the audience knew about Ling Jing’s close friendship with Jia Ming, so they didn’t think much of it, but some didn’t know, and they all looked over in surprise. After all, even if it was a joke, saying such a thing in public was too sensational. Ling Jing’s skin was already thin, and she couldn’t leave or stay now. She puffed out her cheeks, glared fiercely at Jia Ming on stage, and in return, he gave her a silly smile.

At the same time that Fu Yan Jie gathered his courage and turned around, his high-pitched voice rose in the auditorium, shocking everyone in the hall.

“Only you, can accompany me to the West to get the scriptures, only you, can kill demons and eliminate evil, only you, can protect me, so that crabs and clam demons can’t eat me—” He finished singing with a snap of his fingers, “Ok, the sound is perfect, uh… thank you all.”

He had a great time belting out this song, and for a while, countless people in the hall were knocked over. The most chaotic, probably, was around Fang Yusi. The moment the first vibrato sounded, Fang Yusi spat out the water in her mouth, and it sprayed on Fu Yan Jie. This auditorium was designed with tiered seating, and Fu Yan Jie was so frightened by the sound that he slipped and fell directly onto Fang Yusi. Then, Fang Yusi let out a scream.

Bang, bang, two sounds, I don’t know where Fang Yusi got so much strength, after a struggle, the weak woman’s consecutive kicks actually kicked the fat man off of her. The mineral water bottle rolled off of her, and a noticeable puddle of water, just happened to be left between her sexy legs.

Because she was wearing a yellow-brown tight-fitting casual pants today, the puddle of water looked particularly ambiguous and obvious. Anyone who saw it would think, at first glance, that it wasn’t poured on from the outside, but leaked out from the inside…

“Ah, sorry, sorry, yes, yes, yes… I’m sorry, I’ll wipe it for you, I’ll wipe it for you…” The fat man got up from the ground, quickly found a pack of tissues from the side, and rushed over.

“No, no, no, I’ll do it myself!” For a moment, Fang Yusi blocked Fu Yan Jie’s actions, her voice became particularly sharp. After a while, she snatched the tissue paper, trying to do it herself, but the location was too sensitive, and with people watching around, she only wiped away some of the less ambiguous parts of her thigh, threw the tissue paper away in anger. Seeing this incident, Ya Han ran over, casting a smile of angry resentment at Jia Ming while leading Fang Yusi to the rest room.

Watching Fang Yusi walk away, Fu Yan Jie’s face was full of misery, he stood there dejectedly. After a while, he rubbed his belly, which had been kicked hard, and huddled in the chair, seeing his idol have an accident, Jia Ming came down from the stage, Ling Jing ran over and gave him a hard punch, softly reprimanding him: “It’s all your fault, what treasure are you playing at this time!”

“Come on.” Jia Ming leaned in to Ling Jing’s ear and said with a smile, “Two men who have their eyes on you are together, I don’t need to use this method to get your attention, do I have to compete with them in style?”

“You, you…” Hearing his words, Ling Jing blushed again, “Where, don’t think too much…” The slightest bit of blame just now had completely disappeared.

Walking to Fu Yan Jie, Jia Ming smiled and asked, “Hey, it’s okay, I saw her kick you just now, it’s really…”

“If it could make her feel better, I’d rather she kick me a few more times. Now I’m finished, she must hate me…” Rubbing his belly, Fu Yan Jie’s tone was bitter, he looked at Jia Ming, and couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh bitterly, “I服了you, boss, you are too invincible. People sing for money, you sing for your life…”
