Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The studio had not announced that Xu Yi’s fan benefits this time was to dance at the celebration party. Xu Yi was starting to regret it.

However, Xu Yi had already made up her mind. She was not willing to escape and retreat for the rest of her life. She wanted to walk out of the shadow, and to do so, she must defeat it.

The celebration party for ‘Legend of the Bright Moon’ was very grand. The investors were very satisfied with the results of the show, and the venue was set to be a large-scale broadcast venue.

All the main creators would appear that night, including the male and female lead, Xu Yi, and Cheng Jinghao.

The celebration party was held in a way that gave back to the fans. All the tickets were given to the fans for free. The show also had a live stream online, so fans who did not get the tickets could watch it online for free.

At eight o’clock in the evening, the celebration party for ‘Legend of the Bright Moon’ officially began. Xu Yi and the main creators walked onto the stage with smiles on their faces.

“Xu Yi! Ahhhhh…”

Xu Yi’s fans waved their light signs frantically. They clapped and screamed. Xu Yi quietly waved in the direction of the fans to greet them.

Xu Yi and Cheng Jinghao did not hype up the cliché of the male and female leads being in love because of the drama. They acted naturally and appropriately on the stage. Unlike the male and female leads of some film crews where they would create these fake love dramas during the promotional period. In the end, they would unbind themselves and explain to the fans. To Xu Yi, this was very unprofessional.

The chat screen in the live broadcast room was originally quite lively and harmonious, but the anti-fans also started to invade the chat.

…

Since it was a celebration party held to give back to the fans, all the actors prepared a show tonight.

The male lead Cheng Jinghao performed a short Latin performance. The fans did not expect that he could do this. It became even more lively.

No one mentioned Xu Yi, and no one expected her to perform. Ever since she stood on the stage back then and was shouted to get lost, Xu Yi had never performed again.

A few main artists went on stage to finish their performances. The celebration party was also nearing its end.

Then, the group of people on the chat screen appeared again.

[Xu Yi really did not prepare anything for us tonight?]

[Even Teacher Zhu prepared something, and she is in her fifties! Yet, Xu Yi did not prepare anything. She is acting like a big shot!]

[She stopped performing because of what happened a few years ago. How pretentious.]

[Speaking of which, Ling Youyou’s dance next door is really too sweet!]

[Ling Youyou is really crushing Xu Yi, who doesn’t even dare to go on stage, hahahahahaha…]

The anti-fans took the lead, and Ling Youyou’s fans started to act up in the live broadcast room.

[Everyone is on stage, but only she is not performing. Isn’t that inappropriate?]

[Didn’t she just get a little it of scolding the last time? Is she that much of a coward?]

Xu Yi’s fans also hoped that she would return to the stage, but they would not force her. 

Just as the online audience was arguing among themselves on the chat screen, the host said mysteriously, “Everyone, do you still remember that during the broadcast conference, someone said that if the viewership ratings exceeded expectations, there would be benefits?”

The live audience immediately remembered that the host was talking about Xu Yi. They screamed, “I remember!”

After the host heard the enthusiastic response from the live audience, he made an inviting gesture and said, “Then let’s welcome… Xu Yi!”

The lights in the entire venue were extinguished. The enthusiastic live audience immediately quieted down. The online live broadcast room was momentarily silent because of Xu Yi’s appearance on stage.

In the darkness, Xu Yi quietly stood in the middle of the stage. She could hear her own beating heart. At that moment, her palms were wet. The feeling of being alone on stage and feeling flustered and helpless came back.

She kept telling herself that she was no longer standing alone on stage. She had her fans, and many people who loved her. They were all supporting her!

As the music played, the lights lit up. Xu Yi opened her eyes and revealed a smile the moment she saw the camera.

The person in the frame had long pink hair and Milky Way glitter eye makeup. She had used a lot of makeup, and she was wearing an exaggerated singing outfit and accessories.

Whether it was at the scene or in the live broadcast room, everyone was stunned when they saw Xu Yi like this.

It was the first time everyone saw Xu Yi’s girl group makeup. It was completely different from the her usual look.

When they saw that it was really Xu Yi, the live chat screen exploded with comments.

Xu Yi was dancing in the middle of the stage along with the music. Her dance was light and elegant, like a lively elf.

The audience was mesmerized by her dance. It was not until the music ended that there was thunderous applause.

Xu Yi stopped dancing and heard the deafening screams. Countless people were shouting her name crazily. She bowed deeply to the audience and walked off the stage gracefully!

At the same time, the news of ‘#Xu Yi’s return to the stage’, and ‘#Xu Yi’s girl dance group’ rushed to the entertainment headlines and became a hot topic!
