Chapter 547 Robben, the King of Improvisation

After the meal, everyone seemed to be immersed in the afterglow of the delicious food, their bodies unconsciously relaxing as they slumped in their chairs, their faces beaming with satisfaction and contentment.

The soft lighting in the private room created a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Kitahara Shin gently rubbed his stomach, then turned to look at Robben, his eyes filled with curiosity and concern:

"Robben, don't you have a concert tonight? Don't you need to go and rehearse beforehand?"

His tone revealed respect for Robben's professional abilities, and also implied a hint of expectation for the concert's success.

Upon hearing this, Robben's lips curled into a confident smile. He gently shook his head, his eyes gleaming.

“Kitahara Shin, you don’t know this, but Zhaoyang always calls me the ‘King of Improvisation’.”

"It means that I can always improvise on stage based on the atmosphere and the audience's reaction."

"For me, rehearsals are more about getting familiar with the music and finding the right feel, but a real performance requires the sparks to fly on stage."

His words revealed a love and confidence for the stage, as if the whole world was under his control.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yang couldn't help but interject. He patted Robben on the shoulder in an exaggerated manner and laughed:

"Yes, yes, Robben is just that kind of easygoing person. For him, rehearsals are probably less important than getting some more sleep."

"But then again, his ability to improvise is truly admirable."

“Sometimes I even feel that he doesn’t need to rehearse at all. Just standing on the stage is the best performance.”

Zhao Yang's words carried a hint of teasing, but more than anything, they expressed his recognition and appreciation of Robben's talent.

Robben burst into laughter at Zhao Yang's comment. He patted Zhao Yang on the back and pretended to be angry, saying:

"Zhaoyang, you have such a sharp tongue. But then again, I do enjoy the feeling of improvisation."

"It makes me feel that every performance is unique."

His hearty and infectious laughter filled the entire private room with a joyful atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Haruko, Miyako, and CC chatted about gossip.

"Did you know? There's been a lot of turmoil in the entertainment industry lately. I heard that a big star's marriage is in trouble."

Her tone carried a hint of gossip, which made Mi Cai and CC prick up their ears.

Upon hearing this, Mi Cai immediately became interested. She leaned closer to Haruko and asked in a low voice:

"Really? Tell me quickly, which big star is it?"

Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, as if she couldn't wait to know the answer.

CC joined the discussion, interjecting with a smile:

"Oh my, you gossip experts are really everywhere."

"However, I've also heard some rumors that that Mingxing's (Zhao's) other half has cheated on him, and it's causing quite a stir right now."

Her voice carried a hint of teasing, but more than anything, it reflected her enthusiasm and enjoyment of gossip.

The three ladies chatted back and forth, sometimes showing surprised expressions and sometimes letting out knowing laughs.

Their conversation was relaxed and pleasant, adding a touch of fun and color to the dinner party.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yang, Luo Ben, and Kitahara Makoto, who were standing to the side, were occasionally drawn in by their gossip.

Chapter 548 What are we waiting for? Let's go!

As the afternoon sun gradually softened and time quietly slipped to around 4:30 pm, the atmosphere inside the restaurant also subtly changed.

Outside the window, pedestrians on the street quickened their pace, seemingly preparing for the approaching evening.

Inside the private room, a quiet conversation about time unfolded, bringing the dinner to a memorable close.

Kitahara Shin broke the silence first, putting down his teacup and looking tenderly at Robben, his words revealing a hint of concern and reminder.

His eyes held both anticipation for his friend's upcoming performance and a subtle reminder of the urgency of time.

Upon hearing this, Robben smiled slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before regaining his composure.

"Yes what's the matter?"

As he spoke, he stood up and began tidying up the items on the table, as if preparing for his impending departure.

Zhao Yang, who had been listening intently, smiled slyly. He patted Robben on the shoulder, his tone slightly mocking.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now! You're the main character, you need to arrive early to warm up."

Upon hearing this, Robben couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head, his eyes flashing with helplessness and doting affection.

"You're always so impatient."

But then, his gaze hardened.

"But you're right, it's always good to arrive early."

Haruko, Miyako, and CC joined the discussion, their faces beaming with excitement and anticipation.

"Yes, Robben, let's go cheer you on!"

Haruko was the first to express her support, her eyes sparkling with encouragement for Robben.

"That's right, and going early can help you avoid peak hours, otherwise it will be too crowded with so many people later."

Mi Cai added that her voice was gentle yet firm, clearly indicating that she had made thorough plans for the evening's concert.

Robben got into the driver's seat, his eyes sparkling with longing and anticipation for the stage. Zhao Yang walked around to the passenger side and gently tapped on the window:

"Brother, it's your turn tonight!"

Robben smiled and nodded in response, then started the car.

The group drove to the stadium, the scenery rushing past the car window, but their hearts were already soaring to the place where they were about to witness a miracle.

The stadium is located in the city's bustling area, with a magnificent and spectacular appearance, resembling a huge silver ship moored on the shore.

As they approached, the stadium's outline gradually became clearer, with its towering towers, wide entrance, and surrounding lights.

Each of these features showcases its unique charm as a city landmark.

Upon arriving at the venue, Robben and his entourage quickly completed the entry procedures under the guidance of the staff.
