I desperately want to win on the peninsula

The MC, riding the wave of enthusiasm, began introducing the brand. Under the impatient gazes of the audience, he cheerfully announced that there would be a photo opportunity and that they would also receive matching gifts... These words instantly ignited their enthusiasm, and they eagerly raised their hands to participate, wishing they could fly up and get close to the handsome guy immediately.

As the MC called out names, the three lucky audience members who were chosen eagerly lined up.

Then, Lin Qianqiao saw Ye Shuhua standing timidly in front of him, handing over a prize provided by the organizer, and even signing it.

Happy Qixi Festival!

Thank you... Happy Qixi Festival!

After receiving the gift, Yeh Shu-hua barely said a few words before taking a group photo and leaving the stage, looking somewhat flustered.

Although Lin Qianqiao was a little confused, when the next lucky audience member came up, his professional instincts made him smile and greet them.

Offstage, Wu Xiuzhen patted Ye Shuhua on the shoulder, annoyed, and scolded, "Look at you! You were all set, but you ran off before you even said a few words. I even had someone filming you! You're so frustrating!"

"Anyway, I've already received the prize, so what difference does it make whether we chat or not?" Yeh Shu-hua retorted stubbornly.

"Then go tell Kyo's fan club... You're dead!" Wu Xiuzhen raised her hand and waved behind her. In an instant, several girls stood out, staring at Ye Shuhua with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"When did you guys become a fan club?" Ye Shuhua felt a little uneasy under the gazes of her classmates. She pinched the corner of the gift box between her fingers and silently took a step back.

The support group stepped forward and exclaimed in unison, "Just now!"

"Can you please let me go..." Ye Shuhua was completely helpless, hugging the gift box and begging for mercy.

The support group responded firmly: "No!"

As the event came to an end, Lin Qianqiao left amidst a chorus of complaints from the audience, because he still had another performance to participate in, and no matter how reluctant he was, he really couldn't continue.

As he stepped off the stage, he glanced at Wu Xiuzhen and Ye Shuhua on his left, along with a small group of girls.

Seeing them waving and jumping around in this direction with beaming smiles, Lin Qianqiao nodded in response with a light smile. These girls really deserve a lot of credit for making this event so exciting.

The organizer warmly welcomed Lin Qianqiao as he came off the stage; the guy's mouth was stretched wide open in a wide grin.

They praised his professional attitude and said they would communicate with headquarters to see if there would be an opportunity to cooperate again in the future.

Lin Qianqiao naturally responded with the same words, saying that in short, it would be a pleasant collaboration in the future.

After chatting for a while, he mentioned that he had a performance to attend and then took his leave.

He then followed Lee Yong-jin to the parking lot, and surprisingly, there were quite a few fans who had followed him. After getting into the car, Lin Qianqiao rolled down the window and waved goodbye.

As the vehicle gradually drove away, Lin Qianqiao didn't look in the rearview mirror again. She rolled up the window and finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaning back in her seat to rest.

Seeing this, Lee Young-jin didn't disturb them. The ATT venue wasn't far from here, and they arrived at their destination quickly.

There were staff members responsible for transportation. When they saw that it was Lin Qianqiao, they led her directly into the venue. As soon as she entered, they heard that everyone from AOMG was rehearsing. There was still more than an hour before the performance.

Gray was sitting in the audience, lost in thought, when he saw Lin Qianqiao rush back and immediately chased all the irrelevant people off the stage, including Park Jae-beom.

The entire performance lasted 120 minutes, with the two having a ten-minute stage collaboration. Gray took the opportunity to do a sound check.

I don't understand why this guy is so nervous. Even if it's the first official performance, there's no need for that... I glanced at Gray and saw him turn his head and loosen his wrist, just like Rocky poised to go into the ring. I shook my head and prepared to start.

Three songs were prepared in total. "Relax" was a collaboration that we had talked about before. Another song was "NO THANXXX" which Lin Qianqiao was preparing to release as a mixtape. The last song was a single that Gray had previously released. The performance lasted about ten minutes and took up one-sixth of the concert time, which was quite impressive.

As everything was prepared, time slowly passed, and before we knew it, it was six o'clock in the evening.

As the DJ began, the stage lights shone wildly, and it was obvious that the show had officially started.

Amid cheers, President Park was the one who opened the show, but surprisingly, he didn't dance to "Mommae".

He had already put on his easy-tear white vest, but he didn't take it off or tear it, which was very disappointing.

It's likely that the organizers didn't pay enough, or the contract terms weren't clearly stated. President Park is quite cunning, leaving the suspense for the next event.

Then the newcomers and LOCO took turns performing, followed by Gray. Although he was incredibly nervous beforehand, he really put on a good show when he went on stage to sing. Lin Qianqiao was in charge of adding the features and translating his interactions with the audience... There was no need for him to steal the spotlight; he was just trying to please the producer.

Finally, before leaving the stage, they promoted their comeback, which, given it was a venue with a capacity of a thousand, probably had some effect.

After the performance, we returned to the hotel to pack our luggage and rushed to catch a flight back to the peninsula overnight. The main reason was that MONSTAX's group schedule was already arranged, so Lin Qianqiao wouldn't be staying here for long. AOMG, on the other hand, still had activities planned and would stay here for an extra day.

As she boarded the plane to the peninsula, Lin Qianqiao leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes to rest, and a wave of fatigue washed over her.

I got up early to prepare, from the interactive lucky draw at the mall to the performance at the ATT venue, and now this long night flight, today's schedule is so tight that there is almost no time to breathe.

As he flew across the strait back to the peninsula, the buzz on local Taiwanese fan forums was quietly building. New posts about his shopping mall roadshow that day were springing up like mushrooms after rain.

"Sisters, look! I stumbled upon a promotional video on Breeze Mall today that looks exactly like my idol Aaron Yan!!" A post titled this urgently called out to fellow fans.

"Oh my god! The girl who won the prize in the raffle was so lucky! She was so gentle when she signed the autograph and said 'Happy Qixi Festival' to her!!" The comments quickly filled the thread, with words full of envy and amazement.

"The atmosphere at the event was amazing! His stage presence was incredible, and he's even more handsome in person than on camera! [Video link]" someone exclaimed, praising his stage charisma and appearance.

"That lucky audience member who ran off the stage in a panic was so cute. It seems she was 'besieged' by her friends afterwards, haha. Lin Qianqiao's last glance at them was so sweet!" The funny little episodes during the roadshow also became the focus of discussion and affection.

"His professionalism is truly impeccable. He's friendly and his stage presence is solid. But I only saw him in person at the ATT AOMG concert. I didn't realize he had a promotional event today. I should have gone shopping first! What a pity!"

"The video isn't very clear, but you can still feel the charm of the real person! I'd like more angles! Please let us know next time there's an event like this!!" There were also many voices expressing their desire to participate and learn more.

These enthusiastic discussions, heartfelt exclamations, and undisguised praises quickly spread within specific online circles.

Although Lin Qianqiao, who was 10,000 meters in the air, was unaware of this, his brief but wonderful roadshow in the Taiwan business district had already ignited the enthusiasm of a group of passersby through the mobile phone cameras and online sharing of the audience, leaving a clear and positive mark.

The forum page kept refreshing, and various details and praises about that short ten-minute roadshow were gathering into a considerable wave of discussion.

……

"Hahaha! Perfect!"

In a cozy room, Wu Xiuzhen, who had been frantically browsing posts on her computer, suddenly exclaimed, then leaned back in her chair, tilted her head back, clapped her hands, and laughed heartily.

Ye Shuhua, who was lying on the bed in the same room, was so startled by Wu Xiuzhen's loud noise that she almost dropped her phone. Fortunately, she reacted in time and grabbed it back. It wouldn't have caused any damage if it had fallen onto the bed, but the room was still filled with laughter.

Seeing this, Ye Shuhua still asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so happy?"

"My support team and I posted everywhere today, and finally a few posts went viral!"

Wu Xiuzhen turned her head and boasted to Ye Shuhua, "It's the event we participated in at the mall today! Kyo's roadshow video went viral! Hahahaha!"

"Really?" Ye Shuhua jumped up and walked to Wu Xiuzhen's side, looking at the computer screen. The image was frozen on the paused playback. She tilted her head and asked, "How many views?"

"There are several videos with around 50,000 views, and that video with a title that sounds just like Aaron Yan's broke 100,000 views in just a few hours!"

Wu Xiuzhen opened the chat app, where screenshots of group chat achievements were being posted. "Whoosh~ Don't be lazy, come help us. Too many people want to join the group. You just need to set up the questions and let people in, and we'll take care of the rest!"

"Oh... okay." Ye Shuhua didn't intend to refuse, but she wasn't very good at posting. However, she could handle simple tasks, so she agreed.

"What are you going to do now?"

"Of course, I'm going to explain that Kyo is an idol from the peninsula~ Many people don't know that, and they say that her singing is sticky and cute. I'm going to give them a righteous judgment!" Wu Xiuzhen replied while typing away on the keyboard, sounding like she was playing a Chopin piece.

"Oh..." Yeh Shu-hua nodded.

"Oh, and we also need to post and upload videos to the Dongda University forum. In short, we're very busy..." After scolding an ignorant passerby, Wu Xiuzhen stretched her body, took a breath, and continued talking to Ye Shuhua.

"Why do I feel like you're becoming more and more like Kyo's fan site admin?" Ye Shuhua felt something was off as she listened; she was doing this kind of work far too often, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? It takes you so long to realize? I was always like that!"

Looking at the taciturn Ye Shuhua, Wu Xiuzhen said bluntly, "The fan club was officially established today. The video we filmed today is the clearest and the best in terms of location. Also, Kyo's profile is absolutely stunning, it's incredibly attractive! We have a huge advantage, okay? And then there's the treat this guy gave us the day before yesterday. I'm even planning to organize the process and write a fanfiction. I've decided on you as the female lead! Don't worry! I won't use your real name."

After she finished speaking, she pointed to Ye Shuhua and nodded as if in agreement.

"What!?" Ye Shuhua was shocked upon hearing this, waving her hand and saying, "Why me? You can be the one!"

Wu Xiuzhen said vividly, "Nonsense~ In fanfiction, I'm just a supporting character, only having short stories set in Taiwan. But if it's you, there's a sequel set on the peninsula!"

But the more Ye Shuhua listened, the more awkward she became, freezing in place without replying. She didn't know what to say.

Seizing the opportunity, Wu Xiuzhen continued righteously, "Our stories of following our idols to the Peninsula to become trainees, just so we can see them again after their debut—things like a fleeting glimpse on the street, a strange sense of familiarity, or the image of brushing past each other—are all interesting to think about and easy to write!"

She gave Ye Shuhua a thumbs up and exclaimed, "I've already thought of a title for the novel: 'A Teenage Beauty Won't Fall in Love with a God-like Idol.' Just thinking about it makes me want to scream!"

"..."

Ye Shuhua's vision went black, and she almost fainted. She kept muttering to herself about the terrible book title and how the idiot in front of her could have come up with it. Suddenly, she felt like she wanted to die with her!

She was the one who passed the Cube interview first, and then met Lin Qianqiao by chance, and she talked to him the least that night.

When it came to Wu Xiuzhen, she became a fangirl, and she felt a sweet taste in her throat, as if she wanted to vomit blood...

Wu Xiuzhen pretended not to see, turned her head back to look at the computer screen, and continued working with the mouse, but she didn't forget to say something flirtatious: "Swish~ If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes~"

"..." Ye Shuhua fell even more silent after hearing this, as if the weight of the whole world was on her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud.

Wu Xiuzhen, like a capitalist, didn't forget to squeeze every last bit of value out of Ye Shuhua: "I've added you to the support group, remember to get to work!"

"..." After finishing, Ye Shuhua lay back on the bed like a walking corpse, her mind blank as if it were mush, but she still remembered that she had to work. After taking out her phone, she blankly browsed the chat software. Taiwan usually uses Line, but QQ is also used, mainly to create chat groups.

She casually accepted a few friend requests with nice profile pictures, thinking that these group members would be good at finding pictures and they could definitely chat in the future... Just as she was thinking this, her gaze suddenly fell on a few girlfriend names with "xx" in them.

After a moment of stunned silence, a surge of displeasure welled up inside her, and without hesitation, she crossed it out, her lips pursed.

"Can't even come up with a name, pass!"

"Zhang Wei? How come someone is surfing the internet using their real name? Is she a kid? Never mind, I'll approve it for you."

"Ha! Your little darling wife is here, are you trying to make your sister Shuhua laugh? PASS!"

Ye Shuhua's attitude towards this job is also changing. She gradually sat up straight from lying limply on the edge of the bed, sat cross-legged and stared at her phone. But her head drooped lower and lower without her realizing it, getting closer and closer to the phone screen. Her eyes then became serious. The light shining on her fair face was a little scary, like a ghost at midnight... But she was unaware of it. Her cold eyes seemed to be judging all living beings.

Meanwhile, in a slightly messy room in Cheongdam-dong on the peninsula, a girl with dark, radiant skin lay on her side on the bed watching a video—a roadshow video that was going viral in her hometown.

However, the male protagonist in the video... the more she looked at him, the more familiar he seemed; she felt like she'd seen him somewhere before.

Suddenly, a memory flashed through my mind. It seemed like I was a fan of the idol that my teammate and roommate, Son Chae-young, had recommended. I had seen close-up photos of him and him with his headphones on several times before. No wonder he looked familiar at first glance.

She hadn't paid much attention since she'd only heard he was a rapper, but listening to the song coming from her phone, she blinked and thought it sounded really good, at least better than Son Chae-young's "My Way" and "Shut Up" that she played in the dorm every day.

She considered whether to share it with Sun Caiying, but shook her head and dismissed the idea in less than two seconds.

If Sun Caiying were to actually share, she would start imitating her grandfather's storytelling, going on and on and on... It would definitely be a headache.

I won't share it then; you'll find it by chance. I'd rather share the recently trending "PPAP," which is both interesting and fun.

Thinking about it that way, she realized it made perfect sense, and then she grinned and felt much happier.
