Chapter 771 - 774: Chenxing, I Hurt 1_1
At that moment, she stood quietly on the stage, unblinkingly staring at the audience below.
With a gentle blink, a crystal-clear tear dropped, "drip," splashing on the floor beneath her.
She didn’t know where he was in the crowd, but she knew he was there, so she just stood there silently, waiting for his answer.
Everyone held their breath.
One second passed, then two, then three...
Everyone was waiting for the appearance of the male protagonist, hoping he would step onto the stage and hold the girl, who was lost in love, tight in his arms.
Fifty seconds passed, then fifty-one, then fifty-two...
"Gu Shaocheng!"
"Gu Shaocheng!"
"Gu Shaocheng!"
Everyone was shouting his name!
Everyone was expecting Gu Shaocheng to appear!
The spotlights on the stage were still searching for him!
Everyone was looking for the figure of Gu Shaocheng!
A huge red heart was beating on the big screen!
Unfortunately, the male lead didn’t appear, he never appeared, disappointing everyone. Time no longer permitted this wait to continue, the show had to go on. The backstage director glanced at Wen Jingru sitting beside him, shook his head, "Jingru, on the grounds of our many years as old classmates, I’ve tried my best. Persisting now would violate the program’s norms, waiting longer would earn criticism from above."
Wen Jingru wiped the corners of her eyes, "Xiao Wen, thank you. I know you have your job to do, but can we wait one more minute?"
The director shook his head, "We have already spent a lot of time on her alone. There’s no doubt that it would be pointless to wait any longer if the male lead doesn’t appear." If the male protagonist showed up, of course, it would be worth all the time wasted tonight just for her - the ratings would skyrocket, and it would be a perfect fairy tale from rags to riches. But if the male lead didn’t appear, it would be meaningless, and a pure waste of time.
It wasn’t that he was cold-hearted but because this was a television program!
Programs need ratings! Even if she had invested a large amount of advertising money into this program!
"Alright!"
The judges had already given their scores. Regardless of the high scores, she had become a laughingstock, the laughingstock of the whole city.
She exited the stage in disgrace!
Some held her, some comforted her, some silently watched from the side. The contest continued. Everyone had their own story, and every person in the world had their own story. She watched, only watched... just as others watched her, just watched...
Backstage, by the time Huanhuan and Luo Xi had pushed through the crowd, Chenxing was nowhere to be found. After asking around, they found out she had already left, escaping through the backstage passage.
She didn’t even change her clothes or remove her makeup, her face was a mess. She ran out of the television station alone in a state of disgrace, dashed onto the pedestrian sidewalk, and aimlessly stood on the bustling street, looking all around.
Between heaven and earth, where could she go?
She felt like she had lost all her strength. That moment, the girl who felt hopeless beyond hope, lost faith in everything.
In the last moment of the singing competition, she withdrew.
Even though she had made it to the top three!
This stage had lost all its meaning to her!
Her dream wasn’t to become the champion. Her dream was for him to make her illusion of a home come true.
Shaocheng didn’t show up. She didn’t know why, but she didn’t grieve anymore. Her heart had instead quieted down. Once the dust had settled, there really was no way to go following happiness!
Thick sorrow swallowed her, she quietly watched the street corner’s light. At this moment, she loathed Gu Shaocheng to death!
