Volume 1 Chapter 69: The Tightly Held Little Hand
For some reason, Bai Muxue suddenly remembered what Amber once said in a joking tone.
“I’ll just say it casually, but I have no idea how many pretty girls are waiting for me. If you want to contact me, you even have to queue up through my manager!”
Good grief… that girl really wasn’t joking at all. She actually had a manager!
Thinking back to Amber’s words, Bai Muxue couldn’t help but find it a bit funny. Who would have thought she was serious?
“But… that girl prepared so carefully. She definitely didn’t expect me to come watch her performance, right?”
Even without transforming, Bai Muxue could still clearly feel that familiar magic power. A person’s appearance can be changed, and their identity can be faked, but magical energy is like an ID card for magical girls, it cannot be fooled.
Wow, I didn’t expect to get an unexpected surprise here…
A playful light flashed in Bai Muxue’s eyes, and the curve of her lips became more obvious.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiyao, sitting beside her, also showed a hint of surprise when she saw the familiar girl on stage.
It was that girl! The one she passed by at the square!
After all, the girl’s blue streak in her hair and the guitar on her back were very eye-catching, someone you only needed to see once to remember.
She didn’t expect that she was the lead singer of this performance… what a coincidence.
Qin Xiyao then turned her gaze back to Bai Muxue. Bai Muxue was sitting with her arms crossed, staring straight at the girl on stage, a clear smile on her lips.
Even Xiao Xue…
Qin Xiyao quietly sighed in her heart when she saw her expression.
But she also had to admit, although they were still quite far from the stage, she could clearly see that this lead singer really had beauty that was no less than idols or movie stars.
Even though she wore a simple black jacket, it could not hide her tall, well-shaped figure, which was not inferior to Qin Xiyao’s own.
Her face was cold and strikingly beautiful, and her sharp aura made her feel like a drawn sword. Sharp, proud, strong, and full of pressure. She didn’t even need decoration, just her presence alone was enough to make people feel respect.
And those bright blue eyes, clearly wearing colored contacts… even a simple look into them seemed to carry a strange pressure.
Combined with her lively, bold personality that felt deeply rooted in her nature… no wonder the fans kept praising her. She really had a unique charm strong enough to win people over.
Qin Xiyao bit her lip slightly and couldn’t help but ask softly:
“Xiao Xue… do you like her? That type of girl?”
Like her? You don’t even know how badly she bullied me that day!
Bai Muxue let out a small, annoyed huff, then showed a playful smile.
“I just want to see how strong she is.”
“Eh?”
Qin Xiyao frowned slightly at this unclear answer and was about to ask more, but the sound from the microphone on stage interrupted her directly.
“Hello everyone! Welcome to our… ‘Stardust’ world!”
The main vocalist girl gently held the microphone. A confident smile appeared on her pretty face as she greeted the audience below the stage.
A soft wind blew past, lifting her hair. Her clear eyes were full of determination and confidence. Her strong opening line made waves of cheers rise from the crowd like ocean tides.
The stage lights were already on, and the other members were also ready.
Without building suspense, as the audience slowly became quiet, the girl’s guitar let out bright and clear sounds.
Then the other instruments also joined in. Changing lights shone on the girls on stage. The shifting rhythm carried strong emotion. The vocalist’s voice blended perfectly with the band’s sound. Her clear singing went straight into the listeners’ ears and instantly caught their attention.
Her clean, slender fingers moved naturally across the guitar, easily playing one beautiful note after another. It matched her confident and clear voice, as if the whole world was under her feet.
A truly skilled performer does not need flashy tricks. Simple playing is enough to attract attention… and her performance was not only beautiful to hear, but her confidence in every movement made her look relaxed and natural, like she was walking in her own garden.
Although she looked like she was not even twenty years old, it was exactly her calm, confident presence that impressed the girls in the audience who were around the same age.
The music continued, weaving together and shining with a unique glow. The lights and sound reflected each other, bright and powerful.
“…So amazing.”
At this moment, even Qin Xiyao in the audience showed a hint of emotion on her face.
She did not know much about music, but she could still tell the style of the band, where the main vocalist was clearly the center, and the others only needed to fully support her performance.
Some might think this would make the vocalist overshadow the whole band, but their teamwork was flawless. Without careful practice and preparation, this level could not be achieved.
But… Qin Xiyao was not only watching the performance.
While the crowd around her was fully focused on the stage, she kept glancing at Bai Muxue.
Bai Muxue also showed an approving look, but the meaningful smile on her lips remained.
Still, seeing that Bai Muxue was also paying attention to the stage, Qin Xiyao’s face showed a small satisfied smile.
“…This is fine like this. Don’t turn back, okay, Xiao Xue…”
She bit her lip, and her restless little hand slowly moved toward Bai Muxue.
Very slowly. So slowly that even her heartbeat felt like it stopped. So slowly that her breathing became tight.
The noise from the stage seemed to be cut off from her world. All she could hear was her own strong heartbeat.
Even though Qin Xiyao was so nervous that her hand was slightly shaking and she did not dare to look toward Bai Muxue, afraid of being noticed, there was still a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Bai Muxue, however, did not notice Qin Xiyao’s small actions at all. She was still watching the girl on stage closely, thinking about some small “plans” in her mind.
Suddenly, she moved her fingers slightly, and realized her hand was already being tightly held by another slightly cool hand.
There was no mistake.
It was Qin Xiyao’s hand.
