CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 432 - 424: Spotlight on the Stage

The lights dimmed.

Photos of the eleven members in their daily lives appeared on the large screen on stage.

This time, it was a nostalgic, old-photo style.

Meng Meixuan was practicing dance.

Wu Zixuan was drinking milk tea.

Lv Fangxin was writing a poem at a desk.

Duan Yuxin was practicing singing.

Ye Yuwei was actually boxing.

Lai Ruoxuan was shopping with her purse slung over her shoulder.

Zhang Zijing was strumming and singing with a guitar in her arms.

Yang Ni was eating delicious food.

Li Zimeng was drawing.

Fu Xiaoyu was working out.

Jiang Mengqi was cooking, wearing an apron.

These photos were taken from an observer’s perspective, showcasing these girls.

They let the fans see their lives away from the dazzling stage.

These ordinary appearances had a way of touching hearts.

The atmosphere in the venue gradually shifted from energetic to warm and moving as the host reappeared on stage.

"How amazing and impressive were the performances from our ladies tonight?"

"Amazing!"

"Now, we’ve reached the giveaway segment." The host, this time without his script, announced, "When you entered, you wrote cards for your favorite ladies. Now, we’ll have each lady pick one and read it aloud."

Ye Yuwei’s eyes flashed with a hint of confusion; the director hadn’t mentioned this segment, clearly setting up a genuine interaction.

"Alright, let’s start with Meixuan!"

Meng Meixuan smiled as she walked over to the Christmas-tree-like display and, following the director’s guidance, picked a card from her fan: "Thank you, Wu Zixuan... What is this? Did I pick the wrong card?"

The fans of both Meng Meixuan and Wu Zixuan screamed excitedly from the audience. Some shipper fans were inexplicably thrilled.

Onstage, Wu Zixuan also widened her beautiful eyes, feigning surprise.

Meng Meixuan continued reading: "Thank you, Wu Zixuan, for accompanying my furry baby Mao Mao to eat rice noodle soup while you were dieting."

"Ah! Is this really from a fan?" Wu Zixuan shouted.

The audience erupted in laughter, feeling surprised by Wu Zixuan’s unexpectedly funny side.

The host chuckled, "You two really are close sisters!"

"Honestly, I love eating. I always order way too much delivery food and can’t finish it on my own. So, I share it, and since Zixuan and I are often together, we just eat together." Meng Meixuan explained with a laugh.

"Alright, Zixuan, keep up with your dieting." The host joked. "Now, Zixuan, it’s your turn to draw a card."

"Zixuan, you’re such a warmhearted lady. But make sure you’re careful with your leg injury while practicing dance."

"Thank you all; I will. Actually, injuries during dance practice are pretty normal. Thank you for your concern."

Because of a variety show a few days ago, Wu Zixuan injured her knee while striving for the best stage performance, prompting the fans’ concern.

Next up was Lv Fangxin: "Village Flower, could you sing me a song called ’Love You Forever’?"

As soon as she read this out loud, everyone burst into laughter, and Lv Fangxin pretended to faint.

"This is definitely from one of my fans!" She looked at the signature. "They didn’t even include their seat number."

The fans in the audience laughed even harder, though some particularly loyal fans were unhappy, feeling like it insulted the Village Flower.

The host began to mediate, saying, "I can sing that song too..." He sang a line, and Lv Fangxin followed with another.

"Though I sang the song, I won’t love you forever—I’ll hate you forever."

Lv Fangxin’s words brought the slightly awkward atmosphere back to life.

Next was Duan Yuxin, whose fan expressed their hopes for her to keep improving her singing.

Ye Yuwei drew her fan’s card: "Yezi, I hope you won’t forget your old friends when you make new ones. Go back... and visit Jiaqi."

Only a handful of people understood what this message was about.

But the first part of the message was clear to all, and the other ten ladies’ expressions turned a bit sour.

Because the message seemed to imply they’d forgotten old friends after gaining popularity.

Ye Yuwei’s face briefly darkened, but she quickly smiled and responded:

"Everyone knows that I started at Galaxy, where I spent one of the most beautiful times of my life."

"Jiaqi is my closest friend. She’s busy with her acting now, and we’re both tied up."

"We’re all working hard to climb to higher places."

Ye Yuwei’s words made it clear that she hadn’t forgotten her roots or her friends; it’s merely a matter of busy schedules. After all, they couldn’t abandon their work to constantly showcase their friendship to fans.

Zhang Zijing, hearing this, felt a pang of sadness. She knew exactly who Li Jiaqi was.

She often watched old recordings of Ye Yuwei and Li Jiaqi’s performances.

The host stepped in to break the slightly tense atmosphere, inviting Lai Ruoxuan to draw her card.

Returning to the group, Ye Yuwei felt a wave of disorientation. She had believed she’d finally moved on from Galaxy, but the persistent "cult fans" continued to latch onto her.

What she didn’t realize was that her growing fame was attracting more and more attention from Galaxy fans.

Especially those cult fans, who either fantasized about Ye Yuwei returning to Galaxy after graduation to lead their idols to stardom or accused her of using Galaxy as a stepping stone to prepare for her departure.

At this moment, Lv Fangxin cast Ye Yuwei a comforting glance, to which the latter responded with a grateful smile.

But Zhang Zijing’s expression darkened, as she coldly gazed at the infatuated fans before her.

The remaining ladies took turns reading their fans’ cards.

The host concluded brightly: "Besides this interactive segment with fans, we have additional gifts for you!"

The crowd gradually quieted and focused on the host.

"Every fan whose card was read will receive a new Tian’ou girl group plushie—a Little Wild Ox."

"And a personally signed photo of their favorite lady as well."

"But what if my fan didn’t include their name?" Lv Fangxin suddenly remembered this issue.

The host handled it deftly: "Well, tough luck! They missed their chance."

Li Ke noticed that one of the fans, who’d arrived earlier, slapped himself hard across the face.

Instantly, he felt a satisfying sense of schadenfreude.

As the fan meet concluded, the girls performed another song, leaving all fans reluctant to part.

Backstage, the girls were bubbling with excitement.

"Today was amazing, like a concert!"

"I didn’t sing enough before it ended—I still want to sing more!"

"The only regret is we didn’t have solo performances!"

"Next time we probably will, right? Aren’t we doing five shows in a row?"

"I feel like today’s performance was fantastic."

Ye Yuwei turned to Zijing: "Zijing, you danced really well today."

"Oh, it was alright." Zhang Zijing, who’d been smiling moments ago, now seemed upset.

"Zijing, what’s wrong? Are you tired?"

"A little. I just feel like being quiet."

"Alright, let’s rest early tonight."

Ye Yuwei didn’t notice anything wrong with Zhang Zijing, assuming she was just tired. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Lv Fangxin, reserved on stage, was now bursting with energy.

She instinctively hugged Ye Yuwei’s arm. "Yuwei-jie, I didn’t mess up my dance today, did I?"

"No, you danced beautifully, and your singing was flawless too."

"Hehe! I knew I’ve improved."

Being praised by her most admired big sister, Ye Yuwei, Lv Fangxin was overjoyed.

"Fangxin, let’s go to the restroom together!"

"Zijing, I don’t want to go now! Don’t drag me!"

Amid Lv Fangxin’s protests, the two gradually walked off.

Meng Meixuan and Wu Zixuan exchanged a glance, a mysterious smile forming at the corners of their mouths.
