Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Are those legs real?

  "You're the long-time fan who's almost never missed an event, right?" The girl's voice was noticeably excited. "Your style is rather..."

  She chose her words carefully, "...more distinctive, so you're easy to recognize! I saw people talking about you in the supertopic, saying you come to every event. I didn't see you the first time I came, and I thought they were lying."

   "..." Su Xia's heart relaxed.

  She coughed lightly, "I was busy last time, so I couldn't come."

  "Oh! Then why do you always cover your face? Are you afraid your parents will find out? You don't seem very old, did you sneak out of home?"

  Su Xia shook her head, "No, it's because..."

  She blinked, "...I'm ugly."

  The girl: "..."

  She cleared her throat awkwardly, "Don't be so concerned about your appearance, everyone is unique, don't belittle yourself."

  "Next."

  The staff member's voice rang out.

  The girl smiled reassuringly at her, then ran over to show the staff member the list of those selected, and eagerly ran inside.

  Su Xia calmly waited for the staff to confirm everything was in order before pulling her hat down a little further and entering the venue.

  Her seat was at the very back; the girl from before was right next to her, chatting animatedly with other fans, excitedly clutching her album and prepared letter, her cheeks slightly flushed. She waved happily when she saw Su Xia.

  Not long after all the fans had entered, the man, dressed in a blue shirt and suit trousers, slowly walked out from backstage to the soundtrack of Lu Jingyao's new album's title track. With black hair and dark eyes, he exuded an air of nobility; his already excellent physique was now even more striking.

  Amidst the deafening screams, Su Xia heard the girl beside her murmur in disbelief, "Are those legs real?"

  She couldn't help but smile, her gaze fixed on the man who, in her eyes, seemed to radiate light.

Lu Jingyao is an anomaly in the entertainment industry.

  His aloof and detached nature should have made him an unlikely success in such an environment.

  Yet, he carved out his own path, reaching the pinnacle of his career, winning numerous Best Actor awards, and amassing a massive following.

  Over the years, many newcomers have tried to emulate his success, but all have failed. Lu Jingyao, however, remains at the top, his popularity only growing. He has enjoyed nine years of uninterrupted popularity since his debut, without a single scandal.

  Many female celebrities have tried to use him for publicity, but the slightest hint of a rumor is immediately denied by his studio.

  Fans jokingly say that after liking Lu Jingyao, their homes are the most secure.

  New talents emerge constantly in the entertainment industry, but few can achieve the same level of enduring popularity as Lu Jingyao.

  In all these years, only Su Xia has achieved this.

  But to date, there has been no collaboration between the two, not even a single appearance together.

  Actually, Su Xia did it on purpose. They had a chance to work together before, but she felt she needed to hone her acting skills to appear in front of Lu Jingyao in her best condition, so she declined.

  This infuriated Xue Ming'an, who ignored her for several days.
