What no one noticed was that the most beautiful girl onstage had kept her eyes on one person from beginning to end.
When Lin Chao Ci arrived, he had messaged Liu Shuang'er to tell her roughly where he was sitting.
So Liu Shuang'er already knew that the person she had been waiting for was here, and her heart had long since flown to his side.
In her eyes, this was no longer a stage before thousands of people. There was only the man she missed day and night.
Although Lin Chao Ci was wearing sunglasses, Liu Shuang'er felt as though their hearts were connected at that moment.
The breathtaking dance came to an end.
Everyone was left wanting more.
Clap, clap, clap!
"Goddess! Woo! You're so beautiful!"
"I'm Cai Yushen from freshman economics class two, and I'm confessing to my goddess under my real name! Goddess, I love you! I'd gladly be your dog!"
"Fuck! Which sneaky bastard used my name to confess? You stole the words right out of my mouth!"
The boys throughout the auditorium went wild. No one could resist such a breathtaking dancing fairy, and Liu Shuang'er went straight from the freshman goddess to the goddess of the entire university.
Who knew how many boys would see Liu Shuang'er in their dreams that night?
Quite a few university administrators nodded approvingly at Liu Shuang'er as well.
The next act was a choral performance of "I Love the Motherland," organized by Lin Chao Ci's class.
Lin Chao Ci had just been about to listen when his phone chimed with a message in his pocket.
Lin Chao Ci checked it. It was from Liu Shuang'er: "Chao Ci, come find me backstage..."
With a beauty inviting him, how could Lin Chao Ci possibly refuse?
As for his class's choral performance, Lin Chao Ci had confidence in the song he had written.
Lin Chao Ci let his driver, Wang, know, then stood up and made his way backstage, keeping low.
As soon as he arrived backstage, he saw Liu Shuang'er waiting for him with a bright smile.
"You look beautiful tonight!"
Lin Chao Ci's compliment was completely sincere.
Hearing Lin Chao Ci praise her, Liu Shuang'er's face instantly flushed. She lowered her head and asked shyly, "Really? Then do you like me?"
The live performance was rather loud, and Liu Shuang'er had spoken very softly.
Lin Chao Ci hadn't caught what she said. Looking a little puzzled, he stepped closer and asked, "What did you just say?"
The fact that Liu Shuang'er had pursued him from high school into university meant she wasn't exactly a thin-skinned girl.
When Lin Chao Ci asked again, Liu Shuang'er gathered her courage, leaned close to his ear, and said, "Then do you like how I look tonight?"
The girl's faint breath brushed his ear.
Her delicate scent, stunning face, and luminous fair skin left Lin Chao Ci staring for a moment.
Then he came back to his senses and answered honestly, "Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I like it!"
There was no questioning Liu Shuang'er's beauty. Even without makeup, she could put every influencer and celebrity to shame.
Smack!
Caught completely off guard, Lin Chao Ci was ambushed by the little minx, Liu Shuang'er.
Being praised by the man she liked filled Liu Shuang'er with sweetness. Then she glanced at how close they had drawn to each other, with Lin Chao Ci's face right before hers.
Unable to restrain herself, Liu Shuang'er leaned in and kissed him.
After kissing him, Liu Shuang'er lowered her head shyly, already beginning to regret it. She had kissed him without getting his permission.
Chao Ci won't be angry, will he? Will he hate me and think I'm some easy girl? What should I do? I shouldn't have kissed him...
Seeing Liu Shuang'er's nervousness, Lin Chao Ci smiled and gently took her little hand. Holding that soft, smooth, delicate hand gave him a distinctly different feeling.
When Liu Shuang'er saw Chao Ci take her hand, she felt both surprised and nervous.
Could Chao Ci like me too?
Liu Shuang'er's heart raced. At that moment, she felt happier than she ever had.
"It's an honor to be kissed by a girl as adorable as you! Go get changed. I'll take you out for a late-night snack!"
Lin Chao Ci felt that he ought to look after Liu Shuang'er a little more.
She was far too self-effacing in her love for him.
"A... a late-night snack together? Okay! Wait a moment. I'll go get changed right now..."
Liu Shuang'er's cheeks flushed slightly at his words, as though something had occurred to her.
But she didn't refuse. Instead, she shyly nodded in agreement.
She immediately went into the changing room, unwilling to waste even a moment.
Even after changing into casual clothes, Liu Shuang'er was still beautiful. With her head lowered shyly, she followed closely behind Lin Chao Ci like a bashful young wife.
"Hello, beautiful lady. My father is the director of a provincial department... Could we get acquainted?"
They had just stepped out of the auditorium.
A slick-haired pretty boy with a powdered-looking face approached and struck up a conversation with Liu Shuang'er.
Liu Shuang'er had simply been too beautiful onstage!
The privileged young man felt as though he had fallen in love the moment he saw Liu Shuang'er.
All the women he had played around with before were ordinary beauties. Now he felt nothing for them at all.
He was determined to win Liu Shuang'er over, no matter what.
As for Lin Chao Ci standing beside Liu Shuang'er, the young man simply ignored him. He believed that once the other man learned of his father's position, he would voluntarily back off.
No one could resist power.
"Oh? You don't recognize me?"
Liu Shuang'er said nothing and hid behind Lin Chao Ci, who looked at the young man with a faint, ambiguous smile.
He felt both speechless and amused.
This privileged brat actually didn't recognize him. What a laughable blunder.
"Huh? Who are you?"
Hearing the other man's tone, the young man sensed that he might be someone important and began to hesitate.
He wasn't brainless. He knew there were people he could provoke and people he couldn't afford to offend.
If the other man really had an impressive background, he would give up, however beautiful Liu Shuang'er might be.
"Go ask your father about Lin Chao Ci! He should know!"
Lin Chao Ci couldn't casually invoke his father's name, lest it cause an adverse impact.
But using his own name was perfectly fine.
After all, anyone of any standing had looked into his father's family circumstances.
Naturally, they knew about him, the eldest son and the heir apparent of the Lin Family.
Anyone who didn't... simply lacked the rank and status.
"Lin Chao Ci!!!"
Hearing that name and looking at his face, the young man's expression instantly froze. He immediately recalled the people his father had specifically warned him not to offend, and Lin Chao Ci was one of them!
"S... sorry! I must have been blind. I didn't realize she was your girlfriend. I'm very, very sorry!"
The young man's face went deathly pale. He immediately bowed in apology, his manner utterly respectful. Had the setting allowed it, he would have dropped to his knees.
"Go on, get out of here!"
Lin Chao Ci couldn't be bothered with him. He waved a hand and let him leave.
"Thank you..."
Realizing that Lin Chao Ci was letting him off, the young man thanked him and fled as fast as he could.
Once that matter was settled, Lin Chao Ci and Liu Shuang'er had barely taken a few steps before someone blocked their path again.
This time, it was none other than Li Si Han, the university's most famous aloof goddess.
"Hm? Li Si Han, did you need something from me?"
