The moment is now.
On stage, Xi Ruzhu, whose presence had completely faded to that of a human-shaped lamp, clutched her fingers until they turned white.
The more dazzling Zuzi was, the more Xi Ruzhu regretted it. She had actually invited Zuzi to the stage, only to be embarrassed.
Please leave the stage.
Idiot, get off the stage, just get off!
She begged and pleaded in her heart.
As long as Zuzi left, the stage would still be hers. She had to find a way to win back the audience and make everyone forget about Zuzi, so she could remain the favorite of her teachers and family...
She endured, she held on, until Zuzi gracefully put away her instrument and stepped off the stage.
However.
Zuzi had just taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped midway.
Resting her chin in contemplation, her eyes gazed thoughtfully out the window at some unknown point.
"Why hasn't that idiot left yet..." Xi Ruzhu's mind was a chaos, as if a cat was scratching inside, on the brink of breakdown.
