Travel · Magic City Arc (Twenty-Three): To the New World (Eight)

Yangyang and Suisui's intermission performance received unanimous praise, with both the audience and their partners in the dressing room praising it highly.

So, when they hurried back to the lounge, they were greeted by Little Ai's pink-furred dumpling.

"Waaaaah, it's so beautiful, so moving, and so atmospheric! I love it so much!" Thunder Fluff exclaimed emotionally, wiping some snot and tears on Suisui.

"I don't object to expressing affection, but why are you wiping your snot and tears all over her?" Xiao Ling ruthlessly pulled Aemeath away from Suisui. "The performance was very good, I personally give it five stars, and I hope there will be a next time."

"I'm glad you like it, Xiao Yu," Yangyang said with a bright smile.

"It's an honor for me to perform on such a stage," Suisui nodded and smiled.

"Speaking of which, Sister Suisui, I was just about to ask, why are your eyes so red? Did you get so excited when you heard the audience singing along?"

"Your tone carries a sense of self-righteousness, as if you already know the answer," Suisui said, feigning displeasure. "What? Do you think this is something shameful?"

"No, I just think it's quite cute," Xiao Ling replied calmly. "After all, seeing the usually reliable, mature, and poised Sister Suisui like this is quite a unique encounter."

"Or is it that Sister Suisui is planning to punish me for my rude remarks earlier?"

"Good suggestion," Suisui readily chimed in.

"I was just kidding."

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond, hmm... let me think of a way to punish you..."

Just then, Dania's "cat radar" suddenly started issuing warnings, forcing her to turn her attention to the direction where Xiao Ling and Suisui were.

"Never mind, I haven't decided yet. Let's leave the punishment for now." Sensing that Yaya was about to explode, Suisui wisely chose to skip the topic for the time being.

"By the way, who's next on the show?"

"Hmm... I remember it's ' The Unfading Light of Summer,' Chisa, are you going to go on stage?"

"Me?" Chisa blinked. "I guess I'll be going on stage."

"Then I wish you a successful performance in advance~" Suisui said with a smile.

"Good."

After exchanging pleasantries with their companions for a while, Suisui and Yangyang were finally able to return to their seats and rest for a bit.

Hmm... I wonder what Sister Qingxiao and the others think...

With this thought in mind, Sister Suisui inexplicably clicked on the Huanglong Family's group chat.

Bu Ling: So beautiful!!!

Qingxiao: It was indeed a good performance.

Suoming: I'd give it 8.6 out of 10.

Jing Ran: Because you're a little bit four?

Suoming: If you can't speak, you don't have to. Mr. Lamplighter.

Zhezhi: I've drawn it... I wonder what Miss Suisui and Yangyang think?

Yangyang: It's beautifully drawn! Miss Zhezhi's drawing skills are as good as ever!

Zhezhi: Then I'll personally deliver it to you and Miss Suisui after the concert, shall I?

Suisui: Really? Then I'll have to frame this painting in the best frame and put it in the most conspicuous place so I can look at it every day.

Zhezhi: Hey, hey, hey... no need to be so formal... after all, it was just a last-minute rush job...

Jiyan: Miss Zhezhi, there's no need to be so modest. Your painting skills are evident to everyone here.

Suoming: I think it's pretty good! Why are you so insecure?

Seeing everyone in the chat group talking about the performance with great interest, Suisui breathed a sigh of relief and then revealed a relieved smile.

"It seems our performance didn't disappoint everyone," Yangyang said with a bright smile.

Seeing Yangyang's equally relieved expression, Suisui simply smiled and nodded in response.

"I'm really looking forward to it! I wonder what kind of performance Aemeath and the others will bring us?"

After the dance performance of "Tale of the Azure Plume," the enthusiasm of the audience grew wave after wave, which put a little pressure on the girls who came on stage next.

Chisa collaborated with another powerful singer, Teacher Tong, to sing "The Unfading Light of Summer". Although Qianqian's Xiao only learned this song on the spot, fortunately, there were no major problems during the performance. Incidentally, she also recreated a monologue she had said before during the interlude.

"We stood together on the verge of this city collapsing, time and time again. Just like you said, we're partners—it's only natural that I trust you."

Following closely behind Lynae was mainly responsible for the backup dance for her title song "Catch Me If You Can". However, there was a little incident before the official performance.

"Uh... do I really have to go up and jump?"

"Exchange."

"What if I don't jump well?"

"Then you'll make a fool of yourself."

"I suddenly need to pee..."

"It's okay, there are still a few minutes before you go on stage. You have enough time to go to the restroom and run back."

"Xiao Ling!" Lynae gritted her teeth and said, "Aren't we still friends?!"

"Yes, our friendship is stronger than gold," Xiao Ling nodded. "What a great opportunity! A perfect chance to showcase yourself. As your friend, I definitely have to give you a push. Besides, didn't you just skip through Solar5's song?"

"I really can't do it..." Lynae said timidly, "Besides, how can this be the same? I just randomly danced a bit back then, how can it compare to the ready-made choreography for that song..."

"That's all about being spontaneous! It's your song, dance however you want, no need to follow any rules," Xiao Ling chuckled. "Alright, it's almost time, you should go on stage. Good luck!"

Without giving Lynae any further chance to struggle, Hajiling pushed her out of the lounge and closed the door.

Having been turned away and finding no way to reach an agreement, Lynae had no choice but to bite the bullet and jump in.

"Calm down, Lynae, you can do it. You've already performed it on stage once..."

As for the final outcome, it was of course good. She replicated her dance that had garnered over four million views, winning cheers from the audience.

But that didn't stop her from returning to the lounge, drenched in sweat, and giving Hajiling a good scolding.

"Hmm~ I've had a good rest, now it's time to go on stage again!" Aemeath stretched.

"The big event before the wrap-up is here~" Teacher Tarokiki said with a bright smile, "Can you handle it Little Ai?"

"As long as I'm on stage, I'm full of energy!" Aemeath said with a touch of pride.

"Seeing you so motivated makes me feel relieved," Xiao Ling nodded. "Then I wish you both a successful performance in advance."

"The performance went well," Dania chimed in.

"Good luck with the performance!" Sigrika cheered for the two.

"Perform well, it's your turn to light up this stage," Suisui said with a smirk.

The blessings from everyone came one after another, which made Aemeath companion a little overwhelmed, but the warmth in their hearts only grew stronger.

Thank you everyone, we will do our best!

After solemnly responding to everyone's blessings, Aemeath returned to the stage side by side with her partner.
