The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

three days later.

The scene of the first Matchmaker Cup competition.

Inside the livehouse, exposed concrete beams and pillars are covered with staggered light fixtures, and red and green beams of light sweep back and forth in the dim space. Old performance posters are scattered on the mottled walls.

The air was filled with the scent of beer and a faint smell of fireworks. The crowded audience stood side by side, and various work clothes and retro jackets flickered in the light and shadow.

The stage lights suddenly turned on, the sound system vibrated so much that the ground trembled slightly, and beams of light pierced through the dust floating in the air.

The crowd swayed gently to the faint rhythm, their shadows stretched and distorted by the spotlights. Scattered paper cups and empty wine bottles were placed in the corners of the venue. In the alternation of light and shadow, the entire venue was enveloped in a restless yet restrained atmosphere.

Perhaps the only thing that seemed out of place at the performance was the banner on the stage.

"The supermarket downstairs congratulates the successful opening of the first Matchmaker Cup."

"The Matchmaker not only introduces marriages, but also protects love."

Old Ma, from the supermarket downstairs, was handing out flyers as he weaved through the crowd, his radio tucked under his arm.

So this is what young people listen to, and they find it quite exciting.

Backstage, there was also a figure moving back and forth.

Xu Zhixiao was looking for her band's dressing room.

As a seasoned rock music fan, this was certainly not her first time seeing a live performance.

She has attended music festivals and concerts.

But this was her first time backstage, and the band she was part of was about to take the stage.

How can I describe this feeling?

She couldn't simply enjoy the live performance as a listener.

They couldn't do what they wanted to do most, like going on stage to perform.

Hearing the deafening roar of the audience outside, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

This might be the closest she'll ever get to performing on stage.

The competition was held locally, and the original lead singer happened to be sick...

"never mind."

Xu Zhixiao stood at the door of the lounge, but ultimately did not push it open.

Oh well, being a spectator is fine too.

She silently walked back to the front of the stage, looked up at the stage, and listened to the announcements coming from her ears.

"Please welcome the next band to the competition, Black Night Sea."

Her eyes lit up, and she silently clapped, waiting for the band to come on stage.

At this moment, her gaze was fixed on the microphone.

He fantasized that he was the lead singer standing in front of the microphone.

If I can't sing, can't I at least fantasize about it?

Until she saw the lead singer's familiar face.

Xu Zhixiao stood there in shock for ten seconds, staring at the lead singer in disbelief.

She could no longer indulge in this fantasy, no matter what.

...

Lu Yuan stood on the stage, wearing a not-so-clean white t-shirt.

Because the front and back were covered with the four large characters "Yue Lao Intermediary".

Then he winked at the manager from afar, as if to say, "You should learn this little workplace trick."

As for why he's the lead singer?

He absolutely has to be the lead singer!

Do you really think that spending money to organize a competition is just giving money away for free?

Becoming the lead singer is quite simple. You just need to tip folk singers to get the contact information of some rock singers, and then ask these rock singers if they know someone named Xu Zhixiao.

After all, the rock scene in a city is very small.

This led to their successful contact with Xiao Wu.

Rock 'n' roll guys are all very opinionated, so winning over Xiao Wu won't be an easy task.

But he was still defeated by Lu Yuan.

Because Lu Yuan told Xiao Wu after he got drunk, "Escaping reality is not an attitude; facing life bravely is the attitude," Xiao Wu slapped himself repeatedly.

He said he had let his parents down after all these years.

Lu Yuan opportunely offered a generous reward: helping people find partners and get married without charging agency fees.

He successfully made Xiao Wu sick, and then he became the lead singer.

He even trained at a karaoke bar for several days to prepare for this.

The manager is so busy dealing with the daily KTV invoices that he's almost ready to have someone fix them.

Fortunately, all the effort was worthwhile.

Is Lu Yuan a good singer? Not really.

But remember this.

A rock concert is an event that places great emphasis on atmosphere.

Lu Yuan is the prince of the Xinyi District's male prostitutes: he automatically gains the love and support of the opposite sex in entertainment venues.

Because he hadn't had much time to work with the band, they had only rehearsed together on the spot.

So Lu Yuan chose a classic song, one of the most classic songs in the history of Chinese rock.

"No Place to Hide" by the Black Panther Band

Whoever sings this song is handsome.

"In the sea of ​​people, there is you and me."

The moment Lu Yuan opened his mouth to sing.

The girls in the audience erupted in screams and shouts that momentarily drowned out the sound from the speakers.

From a personal perspective, a person's charm is composed of many aspects, but a strong sensory impact is sure to leave the deepest impression...

Xu Zhixiao heard the audience's screams directed at the man on stage.

The band she knew was playing accompaniment for him, and a powerful feeling struck her heart like a hammer blow.

Only five words came to her mind: "This is fate."

There is no other explanation for what is happening except for fate.

She watched the performance on stage with excitement.

And immediately after the performance ended, he went backstage.

I caught up with the lead singer who had just stepped off the stage.

"Wait a minute." Xu Zhixiao called out to Lu Yuan, "How come you're the lead singer?"

"Xiao Wu found me."

Actually, what Lu Yuan's answer was is not important at all.

Because everything in her mind became "this is fate".

How have you been feeling lately?

"Not good."

"Then why didn't you go to the clinic?"

"I went there, but you weren't there."

Xu Zhixiao froze upon hearing this answer, scratching her head and unconsciously saying, "I clearly waited for you for three days."

Thinking about this, Xu Zhixiao felt inexplicably wronged.

How could she not be here? I've been waiting for three days!

"I've been very busy these days, so I've been going there very late. It's normal that you're not here."

"You really waited three days?"

"Fine, don't believe me then."

Xu Zhixiao picked up her phone and checked yesterday's surveillance footage...

She did see Lu Yuan.

At that moment, her feelings were extremely complicated.

If this isn't fate, then what is?

She was a doctor, and he was her patient.

She went on a blind date, and he was her blind date.

She sponsored a band, and he was her lead singer.

"Now that you've advanced, keep up the good work in the next round! Fulfill my dream, and I'll be watching you from the audience."

For a moment, Xu Zhixiao didn't know how to express herself, so she could only celebrate and cheer.

But I heard this.

Lu Yuan paused for a moment.

He turned to her, looking at her with a puzzled expression: "Do you want to sing too?"

Lu Yuan thought she was just a music fan and never expected that she also wanted to sing.

I want to, but I can't.

Why?

"I'm afraid my parents will see it."

She couldn't talk about the rock scene with her family and friends.

She couldn't talk about her real-life troubles with her bandmates.

There is only this person in front of me.

Not only did they know her real-life identity, but they also happened to discover her hobbies.

Lu Yuan stared into her eyes for a while, scratched his head, and said:

"I can help you."
