The next afternoon, the new play rehearsed by the Jing City Theater debuted.

As early as half a month ago, the theater had put up relevant posters.

Even though the play was not fully booked, there were a lot of audiences today. There was a long queue at the milk tea shop outside the theater.

Backstage was even more chaotic. A large group of people were talking. Song Qingyou was in the middle of it and felt like there were a bunch of flies buzzing in her ears.

She came out of the changing room and went straight to the mirror in the corner.

The mirror reflected Song Qingyou’s crimson figure. Inside, she was wearing a red Han costume, with a thin gauze coat on the outside, looking like a fairy.

The makeup on her face was also carefully applied. Her eyebrows were raised, the ends of her eyes were red, and there was a flower between her eyebrows.

A casual glance from her dark eyes was enough to charm all living beings.

Wu Juan, who was busy, looked over and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Qingyou, your appearance is really good.”

“After this play is over, if you still want to act in a play, you might be able to get the female lead role.”

Because it was a new play, there were many big shots in the drama industry present today.

After Wu Juan said this, she told Song Qingyou to perform well. Only when the play was about to begin did she leave in a hurry.

Chen Lan handed her a glass of water. “1 just looked outside. There are quite a lot of people in the audience… But you don’t look nervous at all, do you?”

Song Qingyou nodded. To her, these were all small events.

Chen Lan pursed her lips. “Teacher Cui Xuelin is sitting in the front row. The people sitting next to him are all seniors in the entertainment industry. Are you really not nervous?”

“I’m not nervous.” Song Qingyou said lightly, “Where’s Brother Xuyang? The tickets I gave him were also for the first few rows?”

“Don’t worry, he’s here too. I’ll sit next to him later.”

“Mm.” Song Qingyou looked around. “Where’s Zhizhi?”

“In the lounge, it was holding onto the tablet today and refused to let go. When I came over, it was still playing the game of catching fish.”

Chen Lan talked for a while, and when she saw that Song Qingyou wasn’t nervous at all, she relaxed.

When she carried the cat carrier and sat in the audience seats, before she could greet Lin Xuyang, she realized that the person sitting on the other side was actually Fang Yan.

“Assistant… Assistant Fang?”

Chen Lan was surprised. She subconsciously looked at the first row to see if Jiang Zhihan was there.

“Mr. Jiang isn’t here. I came here specially to watch the play. Ms. Chen, don’t mind me.” Fang Yan said.

As he spoke, he even shook the camera in his hand.

“I happened to meet Mr. Lin. 1 didn’t expect them to sit next to each other.”

Chen Lan nodded and didn’t think too much about it.

Since Jiang Zhihan wasn’t around, Fang Yan probably liked to watch dramas.

Just as she was about to sit down, Fang Yan said, “Can I help you with the cat carrier? I told Miss Song before that 1 like this cat very much. It’s not easy for me to get close to it. I don’t think Ms. Chen will mind?”

Chen Lan was a little hesitant.

This cat had been with her for so long, but it did not necessarily let her hug or stroke it. If it scratched Fang Yan…

“It’s fine.”

Fang Yan reached out and took the cat carrier.

Chen Lan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the cat inside did not react.

The performance on the stage began, and the light in the audience instantly dimmed.

Fang Yan lowered his head and quietly opened the zipper of the cat bag. He whispered, “There’s news that Dong Xi is pregnant and is planning to go abroad to nurse the baby.”

“Should we do something to her before she leaves the country?” he asked, unable to read the cat’s expression.

In the shadows, the cat shook its head.

“I got it.”

Jiang Zhihan patted Fang Yan’s hand and wrote a word on it.

“Are you asking about the old master’s reaction?” Fang Yan asked after a long while.

The cat nodded.

“Old Master doesn’t know yet,” Fang Yan replied.

“Mr. Jiang might not know either. Dong Xi probably wants to wait until the child is born.”

Hearing this, Jiang Zhihan didn’t ask any more questions.

Even if Jiang Quan had put in a lot of effort to marry Dong Xi, Dong Xi might not be the only one by his side. It was also expected that Dong Xi would be so cautious.

Fang Yan wanted to say something else, but when he lowered his head again, Chen Lan, who was beside him, turned her head and looked over.

“What’s the matter?” Fang Yan smiled politely when he met the other party’s puzzled gaze.

Chen Lan looked at the audience and lowered her voice.

“Assistant Fang likes Zhizhi so much. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future… Let’s watch the drama first!”

She clearly thought that Fang Yan wanted to pet the cat and watch the drama, so he was in a dilemma.

“Alright,” Fang Yan smiled.

In fact, he did not have a personal interest in drama.

The reason why he came over today.

First, Mr. Jiang wanted a recording of Song Qingyou’s performance.

Secondly, he had something to report to Mr. Jiang.

Looking at Jiang Zhihan’s reaction, Fang Yan knew that his boss didn’t care whether Dong Xi was pregnant.

Therefore, if there was any news next time, there was no need to rush over to report it. It could be handled as a daily matter.

As he was thinking, Fang Yan felt the back of his hand being patted again.

When he came back to his senses, he met a pair of dark green cat eyes.

At this moment, the background music on the stage also changed.

Fang Yan picked up the camera and started filming.

The stage lights dimmed and there was silence.

The sound of drums and flute accompanied each other, and the sound became louder and louder.

The figures in the curtain floated and soon stood still.

The flute music gradually died down, the drums slowed down, and the curtain slowly drew down.

Many of them were dressed in white, and in the middle was a figure in red. She stood with her back to the audience, and her long body curled up like a jade.

Just his back view made many people subconsciously hold their breaths.

With just one glance, Fang Yan knew that the person with her back to everyone was Song Qingyou.

The sound of the zither suddenly rang out, and the red figure turned around.

Her bright red dress fluttered like a blooming flower.

Immediately after, the sound of the zither became more rapid.

Song Qingyou started spinning, then did a side somersault and landed lightly.

Everyone present could not help but applaud.

Jiang Zhihan’s eyes were fixed on her.

The people on the stage were not affected at all. Their dance movements were clean and neat, and their bodies were soft and light, making people reluctant to look away.

Her red clothes were like fire, as if they were burning.

After the dance, Song Qingyou received another round of applause.

The eyes of many people in the audience lit up. They hurriedly asked the people around them who was dancing on the stage.

Some of them recognized Song Qingyou.

However, because Song Qingyou’s makeup was thicker today and the stage was a certain distance away from the audience, they weren’t sure if it was Song Qingyou herself.

If she was mistaken, not only would Song Qingyou be embarrassed, but the actor would also be embarrassed.

Even so, some people took some photos and recorded videos and posted them online.

Not long after, Song Qingyou’s fans denied it as usual.

It was not until the Jing City Theater’s official website posted the list of participants for the new play.

The sixth name on the list was Song Qingyou’s..
