Chapter 29 You're Going to be Famous
"Where are you? My performance just ended!" Guo Xinyu eagerly sent a message to Fang Jueyu as soon as she finished her performance.
"I'm right in the audience. Are you backstage? Is it convenient for me to come find you now?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"Yeah, but can you get in? I think only staff and performers are allowed backstage," Guo Xinyu worriedly replied.
"No worries, I have a way!"
With that VIP badge, Fang Jueyu effortlessly walked into the backstage area. There were many streamers from the Bamboo Platform here, even more popular than Guo Xinyu, but Fang Jueyu didn't spare them a second glance.
Finally, he found the figure he was looking for in front of a dressing table. Guo Xinyu had changed out of her performance outfit and was wearing a clean white T-shirt and pleated skirt, removing her makeup in front of a mirror.
On stage, she was an elegant and aloof princess, but backstage she seemed like a quiet and gentle girl-next-door. Fang Jueyu didn't disturb her and just waited silently behind her.
"Ah!" Guo Xinyu turned around after finishing her makeup, startled by Fang Jueyu behind her. "You are Fang Jueyu?"
During the performance, Guo Xinyu felt she already knew the answer. It was a magical feeling.
"Why, doesn't it look like me?" Fang Jueyu chuckled.
"No, it's just that I thought someone like you would probably be..." For a moment, Guo Xinyu couldn't think of how to describe it.
"Surrounded by brand names, wearing gold chains and branded watches, with two sycophantic lackeys following behind?" Fang Jueyu laughed, since most rich kids seemed to have this kind of style.
"Heehee, yes, that's exactly what I was going to say!" Guo Xinyu laughed. "But you're different from those rich kids. I don't see any of that 'affluenza' in you."
"I told you, I only found out my family was wealthy a week ago. I've lived as an ordinary person for twenty years, so naturally, I don't have those habits."
At this moment, Guo Xinyu seemed to truly believe what Fang Jueyu was saying. "I hope you never change!"
"By the way, was the wait long for you?" Guo Xinyu asked bashfully.
"Not really, I just saw you removing your makeup and didn't want to disturb you." Because of the stage effect, Guo Xinyu's makeup wasn't light, and actually, he had been waiting behind for almost twenty minutes.
"Am I much different from what you imagined?" Guo Xinyu flashed a cute smile.
"You're even more beautiful than I imagined," Fang Jueyu said sincerely. "Now that you've shown your face, I bet your Weibo followers are going to explode! I believe you'll gain even more fans in the future!"
Guo Xinyu blushed deeply, as no girl could stay indifferent when praised for her beauty.
"It's not even four o'clock yet, too early for dinner. How about we go for a walk?" Guo Xinyu suggested.
"Are you not busy here?"
"No, I'm done with today's performance. The next few days I can arrange freely, except for one more performance on the last day."
"Great! Let's go for a walk then!"
Guo Xinyu greeted the backstage staff, then packed her bag and left with Fang Jueyu.
"Xinyu! Xinyu!"
To their surprise, a group of fans had gathered at the backstage exit. The instant Guo Xinyu and Fang Jueyu walked out, they were caught.
Guo Xinyu isn't a celebrity, just a streamer, so naturally, there weren't any bodyguards to help her deal with this. Even she didn't expect she would be this popular.
"Look! There's a guy next to Xinyu!"
"Could he be her boyfriend? He's so handsome!"
"No way, Xinyu said she doesn't have a boyfriend. Maybe he's just a pursuer?"
"Do you think this guy could be Lu?"
"No way! Lu is so rich, he can't possibly be this young!"
"You know nothing. Last time I watched Teacher Park's stream, they teamed up to play games, and I heard Lu's voice. He's just a young guy!"
"Hehehe, thanks everyone for your support, but please make way, my friend and I need to leave," Guo Xinyu politely said.
Luckily, her fans were well-mannered, without any crazy ones. They just wanted to take more photos of Xinyu, since before today, her face had always been a mystery.
"Xinyu, is this your boyfriend?" one bold fan asked.
"Nope!" Guo Xinyu shook her head. "But you all should know him, he's my live stream's number one fan!"
With that, Guo Xinyu flashed a playful smile at Fang Jueyu.
This answer immediately revealed Fang Jueyu's identity, as Lu's identity was even more mysterious than Xinyu's looks. They didn't expect such a unique revelation today.
"Hey, handsome! Are you really Lu?"
"Damn! I see my husband!"
"Honey, I'll have your babies, look at me, look at me!"
"Stop yelling, don't you see Lu and Sister Xinyu are together? Maybe they're already involved, and you don't stand a chance!"
"Bros, I'm heartbroken!"
"Sisters, I'm heartbroken too!"@@novelbin@@
...
Fang Jueyu and Guo Xinyu exchanged a glance and then flashed a wry smile. Today's fans sure were impressive—not only were they chatty in the stream room, but they remained just as quirky in real life.
It took a lot of effort to get rid of the fans, and they were exhausted. If there were no surprises, photos of Fang Jueyu and Guo Xinyu had already appeared on Weibo, and their stream tonight would probably be lively.
"Pfft," Guo Xinyu suddenly burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Fang Jueyu asked curiously.
"Look!" Guo Xinyu handed over her phone. As expected, their photos were already on Weibo, and the fan comments had exceeded ten thousand. However, comments about Fang Jueyu far outnumbered those about Guo Xinyu.
"Sister Xinyu, there's no living with this betrayal!"
"Sisters, my roommate's dying wish is to know everything about this cute guy!"
"I'm the roommate!"
"Sisters, let me be the first to call him hubby!"
...
"What the hell is this?" Fang Jueyu slapped his forehead.
"Look at you, almost becoming the nation's husband, replacing Principal Wang," Guo Xinyu giggled. "Oh yeah, did you have lunch with Principal Wang and them?"
"Yeah, didn't I tell you? Why?"
"It's over, you're gonna be famous!" Guo Xinyu opened a set of photos. They showed him with Wang Cong and others entering and leaving a hotel, and blurry pictures of him getting into a sports car. But when contrasted with the photos of him and Guo Xinyu, his identity was practically exposed.
"Mysterious Lu from Bamboo Platform finally revealed!"
"Lu and Principal Wang appeared at a five-star hotel. Principal Wang claimed he's being buried in money!"
"Performance analysis of Lu's Maserati MC12!"
"Lu's true identity exposed, suspected to be the illegitimate child of Huaxia's richest man..."
In just a few minutes, all sorts of information about Fang Jueyu appeared on Weibo. Guo Xinyu was right, he was truly about to go viral!
