They don't actually think I like them, do they?

"Aren't you a senior in high school?" Hu Yan was stunned.

"I was admitted to Beijing University through a special admission program a long time ago."

"ha????"

Hu Yan, on the other end of the phone, almost dropped her phone.

"Really?! Teacher Ju, Beijing University?!"

"Why would I lie to you?" Lin Han said nonchalantly.

Hu Yan was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Seriously?! You're already a graduate of Beijing University, and you're acting like an idol?!

That's giving actors way too much credit!

The idol industry is notorious for its limited education; many of them are people who couldn't continue their studies and ended up signing with management companies. The rap shows next door are full of people who dropped out of vocational high school. Most of the time, if you happen to meet someone who graduated from a proper university, they can sell a "scholar persona"!

What does Baijing University even mean? To be honest, Teacher Ju doesn't care about making a living in the entertainment industry at all!

Hu Yan finally understood why Ju Zi Jiang never pandered to anyone when writing songs, always appearing fearless. Perhaps writing songs was just a way for him to relax and have fun during his free time from studying!

"Understood, Teacher Orange. We'll do as you say tomorrow!" Hu Yan said respectfully.

"If possible, please invite Miss Yan Yuli as well!"

.......

On the day the college entrance examination ended, test papers and notes flew everywhere, and the whole school was immersed in an atmosphere of letting loose.

It was bustling everywhere, with noisy crowds and parents packed in like sardines.

It's all over.

Lin Han couldn't help but sigh, as his three years of campus life came to an end.

He waited for Yan Yuli as promised, and she came out after finishing the exam.

"How did the exam go?" Lin Han asked as soon as they met.

Yan Yuli simply nodded slightly, revealing a relaxed smile.

"I don't know, who cares?"

"By the way, senior, here's the new song you wanted." Lin Han handed the notebook to Yan Yuli.

Yan Yuli opened her notebook.

"Give me the time it takes to sing a song?" the girl murmured.

"We'll learn it when we get back, and we'll sing it in three days."

Lin Han gave a thumbs up and winked,

"Let's go to the rehearsal first."

......

The two arrived at Jinchuan No. 1 Sports Center, picked up by a vehicle from Pop Media.

Although he was mentally prepared, Lin Han was still deeply shocked when he actually arrived at the scene.

"This is huge!!"

Looking down from the audience seats above, Lin Han couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

It felt like being at the top of a cliff, looking down at the densely packed seats and the small stage area.

Three enormous screens were positioned directly above the stage. The thought of his face appearing on them filled Lin Han with a sense of oppression.

A stadium that can hold 50,000 people is truly impressive!

Lin Han gasped, feeling a strong sense of immersion and already starting to tense up!

Lin Han walked to the center of the stage, pointed to the seats below, and said seriously,

"One day, I'm going to fill this place up!"

"What did you say?" Yan Yuli asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just said a line I've wanted to try saying for a long time." Lin Han felt a surge of secret satisfaction.

At this time, many machines had been set up around the stage, and many staff members were busy making final preparations for the upcoming concert.

Here, Lin Han also met the band that would be providing accompaniment, and everyone greeted him happily.

A rehearsal is simply a way for singers to familiarize themselves with the stage and the entire process.

Lin Han has released a total of thirteen songs so far, including new songs that he is preparing to sing.

It's a bit short for a concert. People spend so much money on tickets, they should at least want two hours, right?

Hu Yan suggested that Lin Han sing songs by singers from the same company, but Lin Han refused without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I can find the time," Lin Han said confidently.

Hu Yan served as the director of Lin Han's concert this time, while Lin Han provided guidance on the entire concert process during rehearsals.

Even the appearance of special guest Yan Yuli, down to the exact lyrics to be sung on stage, were all personally directed by Lin Han.

Its professionalism and many small details impressed Hu Yan completely.

Well, the talent agency is really just for show!

After everything was over, Lin Han lay on the stage, staring at the ceiling of the sports center, his mind in turmoil.

For the past six months, I've been constantly changing my online persona, keeping my achievements and fame hidden, and studying quietly, all while waiting for my meteoric rise after graduating from high school.

I'm risking everything; this battle will make me famous!

June 12th has arrived in the blink of an eye!

060. I'm Marmalade

Bubble Media Building.

Lin Han put on a handsome suit, combed his hair like an adult, stood in front of the mirror, and took a deep breath.

Lin Han walked out of the building. In front of him was a row of cars and a group of staff who had been waiting for a long time. To his left were the band and dance troupe that had been rehearsing with him at the company for three days straight.

At this moment, everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Everyone has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Lin Han made an "OK" gesture.

"Let's go!" Hu Yan raised her right hand.

Everyone cheered together.

"Let's go!"

.......

At 6 p.m., an hour before the concert was scheduled to start, the roads within a radius of several hundred meters around the Jinchuan No. 1 Sports Center were severely congested.

A large number of traffic police were deployed to maintain traffic order, but they were still unable to stop the spectacle!

To date, Orange Jam's concert has sold 4.2 tickets.

This means that a total of 40,000 fans from all over the world gathered here in order to see Marmalade in person!

At this moment, Lin Han, who was resting on a chair backstage, saw the huge crowd at the entrance of the venue through the company's cameraman's broadcast.

Lin Han nervously rubbed his hands together.

There are way too many people here!!

He had no concept of more than 40,000 people, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he realizes how terrifying the scene is.

The audience members walked into the venue chatting and laughing. There were all kinds of people there: couples, sisters, and families with children. They held light sticks or small windmills. Lin Han even saw a white person. It turned out that he was becoming more and more international!

The thought that these guys came here just to see him made Lin Han feel a little unreal.

He turned to look at Hu Yan, who was standing beside him, seeking some comfort.

Surprisingly, this guy's legs were also shaking uncontrollably.

Lin Han's eyes widened: "Teacher Hu Yan, are you nervous?"

"No, no... I... how could I be nervous, hahaha~" Hu Yan's laughter was trembling.

No way, you're not even going on stage, what the hell are you nervous about!

If the agents are this nervous, what are the artists supposed to do?

Lin Han finally understood what it meant to be isolated and helpless. He stood up and decided to go out for some fresh air.

As soon as I stepped out of the lounge, I saw Yan Yuli, who was already dressed up.

The young woman wore exquisite makeup and a white bodycon dress adorned with gemstones on her shoulders and chest. Her waist-length hair was styled in an updo, exuding nobility and elegance, making her a true goddess of grace.

So beautiful...

Almost instinctively, those two words popped into Lin Han's mind.

Lin Han had never seen Yan Yuli so dazzling before, and he was momentarily stunned.

Yan Yuli smiled slightly and stepped forward.

"Are you nervous?"

"Of course, this is my first time on stage," Lin Han said with a wry smile. "Who doesn't start their stage performance at a school gala or a concert?"

"Just think of it as a school talent show."

"Senior, have you ever seen a campus gala with 40,000 people?"

Yan Yuli suddenly pointed her finger and stopped Lin Han's lips from moving.

"At a time like this, you're still calling me 'senior sister'? What will people think if they hear this on stage? They might think we're doing cosplay."

"It seems pretty good."

"?" Yan Yuli choked.

After a while, she asked again, "Have you read the blessing I wrote for you?"　

"What blessing?"

"The one written on the autographed photo!"

"Uh." Lin Han was embarrassed. The autographed photo was actually for Xu Hui. Would he get beaten up if he only said it now?

"You didn't see it?" Yan Yuli narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Han.

There was already murderous intent in his eyes!

"I......"

Lin Han frantically wiped away his sweat, feeling ashamed, when he turned his head and suddenly realized—

On the other side of the corridor, a large group of staff members were staring intently at the scene, their faces showing a gossipy expression.

"As expected of Teacher Ju Zi, she's about to go on stage and she still can't resist flirting with Miss Yan Yu Li!"

"Is this the mental fortitude of Teacher Orange? So strong!"

The onlookers were all sighing with amazement.

Upon hearing the words "flirting," Yan Yuli's face turned bright red, and she quickly turned around with her hands behind her back.

"I'll go get ready!"

"Teacher Orange!"

Hu Yan came out of the lounge and met Lin Han's gaze.

She looked firmly at Lin Han and said, word by word,

"It's time to go on stage!"

......

The concert venue was bustling with activity, and most of the audience members were already seated.

Many people were attending a concert with so many people for the first time, and they were incredibly excited.
