Volume One, Chapter 135: The Reckless Man, Principal Wang
Finally, everyone holding a ticket had entered the venue.
Yet, the entrance was still swarming with people.
Backstage at the concert, Jiang Yu felt a surge of emotion seeing so many devoted fans.
If only the venue were a little bigger.
“What’s wrong? Nervous?” Su Muyu approached after noticing Jiang Yu’s expression and gently rubbed his temples to ease his tension.
Jiang Yu closed his eyes, comforted by the cool, soft touch. “Not exactly nervous. After all, I’ve performed at the National Day Gala before. It’s just that this venue feels a bit small.”
Hearing this, Su Muyu smiled faintly.
She understood exactly what Jiang Yu meant.
He was tough with others, never backing down an inch, often rumored to have a bad temper.
But when it came to his fans, he was exceptionally kind.
Especially to his readers.
Except for this busy period, whenever his readers wished, he would write more chapters, sometimes even staying up late to update.
Seeing so many outside unable to get in naturally made him feel uneasy.
“Don’t overthink it. Let’s focus on this concert. Next time, we’ll definitely prepare a bigger one, okay?”
“Okay.” Jiang Yu nodded with a smile. “But for now, there’s still some time. I’ll finish today’s chapter first, or else the readers will start urging me again.”
Indeed, Jiang Yu was still typing backstage, catering to the eager readers waiting for new content.
Suddenly, a loud commotion broke out backstage.
“Guoba, where are you? I’m here! Live urging for updates—I always keep my word!”
Following the voice, a bold figure broke through the security guards and rushed in.
It was Principal Wang!
Everyone was stunned by this unexpected intrusion.
Wang twisted and turned, evading the guards, and ran up to Jiang Yu. “You must be Brother Jiang Yu. Your friend Guoba said he’s here today too. Where is he? I want to meet him.”
Jiang Yu was momentarily speechless.
Then Wang noticed Su Muyu standing nearby.
“Haha, Muyu, you’re here too? Also looking for Guoba?”
In their circles, families often had connections and knew each other.
Seeing their familiarity, the guards stepped back.
Su Muyu glared at Wang with a dark expression, about to scold him.
But Wang was captivated by the laptop in front of Jiang Yu.
On the screen was a large title: “Soul Summoning.”
Certain keywords caught his eye, like “Gui Li.”
Jiang Yu snapped back to reality and hurried to close the laptop.
But it was too late.
Wang broke into an excited grin. “No wonder! So you are Guoba!”
Jiang Yu frequently interacted online with “Turkey-flavored Guoba.”
Especially whenever Jiang Yu encountered trouble, Turkey-flavored Guoba would steadfastly defend him.
People online joked that Jiang Yu and Turkey-flavored Guoba were best buddies—but it turned out they were the same person!
Hearing this, Wang grew even more ecstatic.
“Big Guoba, I’m Principal Wang. Finally meeting you in person! Haha, I told you I’d urge you live!”
Jiang Yu smiled wryly. “Hello. I didn’t expect you’d really come.”
“Of course.” Wang chuckled. “If people outside knew you two were one and the same, imagine the sensation. Brother, you really know how to play.”
“Well… Principal, can I ask you to keep this a secret?”
Wang was about to respond but caught Su Muyu’s warning glare and swallowed nervously.
“No problem, brother. Your secret’s safe with me.”
Just then, assistant Wu Kenan entered. “Jiang Yu, the concert is about to start.”
Jiang Yu looked at Wang. “I guess I should go perform now.”
“No problem, brother. After the concert, let’s grab a meal together.”
Jiang Yu smiled. “Sounds good.”
With that, he headed toward the stage.
Watching Jiang Yu’s retreating figure, Su Muyu’s eyes curved like a crescent moon, her gaze filled with excitement.
“Wow, even the Ice Queen has a side like this,” Wang teased upon seeing her expression. “Good taste.”
Su Muyu’s face darkened. She turned away, expressionless, glaring at Wang.
“I think it’s time to visit Uncle Wang. Your reputation is excellent now. Time to inherit the family legacy and have him mentor you properly.”
“No, no, you’re mistaken!” Wang’s face shifted as he hurried toward the backstage exit. “I’m off to listen to the concert. Afterward, wait for me—I’ll treat you to a feast!”
...
Time ticked by.
Finally, the brightly lit stage dimmed.
In the darkness of the audience, glow sticks and light boards lit up.
Earlier, the stage’s strong lights had hidden these signs of support; now, with the lights off, they resembled sparkling stars.
Soon, several spotlights illuminated the stage!
Then, piercing screams shot through the venue.
“Jiang Yu!”
“Jiang Yu!”
“Ahhh!”
Not only inside, but even the crowd outside shouted with all their might.
In this moment of eager anticipation,
Jiang Yu slowly emerged from backstage, the spotlights following his every step.
Seeing him appear,
the crowd’s cheers grew louder.
It seemed they wanted the entire city to hear their voices.
Jiang Yu, hearing the roar, was deeply moved.
A gentle melody began to play.
[If I see you once more, will I still feel the same, oh~]
[Back then, pure and unadorned, innocence at its peak.]
As Jiang Yu began to sing,
voices thundered through the skies once again.
“Natural face!”
“Natural face!”
[I miss you, no, don’t miss you.]
[Missing won’t bring back the past.]
“Dear fans, as promised, no one’s leaving early—Jiang Yu has arrived!”
“I’ve missed you all so much!”
