138: Lu Chen is going to have a new love again? !
Yu Miaoyin's face flushed, and she averted Lu Chen's gaze; that blush quietly spread from her cheeks to her earlobes, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, delicate and vibrant.
She turned slightly, gently biting her lower lip, as if calming the ripples in her heart.
After a pause, she cleared her throat, her voice carrying a hint of imperceptible shyness, and said, "Since there's nothing wrong, let the concert continue."
With that, she walked gracefully onto the stage.
Each step was light and firm, her skirt swaying slightly with her movements, like a twinkling star in the night sky.
She stood once again in the center of the stage, and the lights instantly focused on her, enveloping her in a dazzling glow.
Yu Miaoyin took a deep breath, gently closed her eyes, as if merging with the music.
A moment later, she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with focus and deep emotion, and raised her hand to signal the band to begin playing.
The music slowly began, its melody like a gentle stream, softly flowing through the entire concert venue.
Immediately after, Yu Miaoyin began to sing; her voice was like a celestial sound, clear and melodious, yet imbued with strands of deep emotion.
Every note seemed to be imbued with life, leaping and circling in the air, drawing the audience into a dreamlike world.
The audience quickly became immersed in her singing again, mesmerized; some gently closed their eyes, their faces radiating an expression of intoxication.
What had just happened seemed like a mere interlude, quickly forgotten by everyone.
Lu Chen also returned to his seat.
Liu Ruyan, Gao Xuewei, Gu Xiaoxiao, and Chen Mengyao, the four women, saw this scene and remained silent, their expressions complex and difficult to decipher.
Liu Ruyan frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes; her gaze moved back and forth between Yu Miaoyin and Lu Chen, as if she was contemplating something.
Gao Xuewei bit her lip, a fleeting hint of sadness flashing across her face; her hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, her heart a mix of emotions.
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes held a touch of surprise; she opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Chen Mengyao, on the other hand, widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief; a touch of bitterness was added to her gaze as she looked at Lu Chen.
At this moment, let alone Chen Mengyao, even the innocent Xiao Xi felt that something was a little off.
Xiao Xi had a pair of watery big eyes; she looked at Yu Miaoyin on the stage for a moment, then at Lu Chen, and finally at her mother, Gao Xuewei.
Although she did not understand exactly what had happened, she could clearly feel that the atmosphere was very wrong.
So, she extended her small hand and gently squeezed her mother's hand.
Gao Xuewei felt her daughter's movement, gently patted her hand, and smiled slightly, signaling that she was fine.
That smile seemed relaxed, but it could not hide the hint of loneliness in her eyes.
The concert continued, with Yu Miaoyin singing one song after another, each song filled with her deep emotion and passion.
As the music's rhythm progressed, the atmosphere at the venue also continuously escalated.
The audience waved their glow sticks, like a shimmering sea of stars, echoing Yu Miaoyin on the stage.
But Gu Xiaoxiao, Gao Xuewei, Liu Ruyan, and Chen Mengyao, the four women offstage, had completely lost their mood for the concert; their expressions were incredibly complex, and the smiles on their faces when they occasionally raised their glow sticks were extremely forced.
The four women each had their own thoughts, but they all simultaneously had one idea: Is Lu Chen going to have a new lover again?
Lu Chen, however, seemed completely oblivious, watching the dazzling Yu Miaoyin on stage with great focus.
Although he had never heard these songs, that was not important.
He only needed to respond when Yu Miaoyin's gaze fell upon him, and that was enough.
Yu Miaoyin had initially been a little puzzled as to why four charming women were sitting next to Lu Chen.
But seeing that Lu Chen had no intention of looking at them, and instead kept his gaze focused on herself, she did not think much of it.
She simply assumed that the seats were arranged that way.
As time passed, the concert gradually drew to a close.
Yu Miaoyin stood on the stage, looking at the enthusiastic audience below, her heart filled with emotion. She bowed deeply and said, "Thank you all for coming to my concert today. I hope my singing leaves you with beautiful memories."
The audience responded with warm applause and cheers, their reluctance to part evident.
Finally, Yu Miaoyin sang her classic song, and the entire audience sang along.
The singing echoed in the night sky, lingering for a long time.
After the concert ended, the audience gradually left.
Lu Chen looked at Liu Ruyan, Gao Xuewei, Gu Xiaoxiao, and Chen Mengyao, the four women, and said with a gentle yet undeniable tone, "You all go to the car and wait for me first."
The four women exchanged glances, their eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.
Despite their reluctance, under Lu Chen's firm gaze, the four women obediently turned and left.
As soon as their figures disappeared around the corner, Yu Miaoyin, having changed her clothes, emerged gracefully from backstage.
She was dressed in a simple yet elegant light blue dress, its hem gently swaying with her steps, like an iris blooming in the night wind.
She spotted Lu Chen at a glance, her eyes curving into a smile, and she gently waved her hand at Lu Chen, like a soft breeze caressing in spring.
Seeing this, Lu Chen walked steadily towards Yu Miaoyin.
The dim light cast a faint halo around his silhouette, making him seem as if he had stepped out of a painting.
When he reached Yu Miaoyin, he nodded slightly as a sign of politeness.
Yu Miaoyin gazed at Lu Chen, a sweet curve appearing on her lips, and she smiled charmingly, saying, "Thank you so much for today's matter. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done."
Lu Chen waved his hand, a gentle smile on his face, his voice deep and mellow: "Saving the injured and helping the distressed is what a physician should do; there's no need for thanks. Any healer present would have done the same."
Yu Miaoyin listened, nodded gently, and then said with a beaming smile, "Oh, I still don't know your name."
"Lu Chen," Lu Chen replied succinctly.
Yu Miaoyin repeated thoughtfully, "Lu Chen..." She was about to say something more.
Lu Chen's phone suddenly rang.
Lu Chen gave Yu Miaoyin a slightly apologetic smile, then answered the phone.
After listening for a moment, he simply said, "Okay, I understand," and hung up the phone.
Lu Chen looked at Yu Miaoyin with a face full of apology, his tone carrying a hint of regret: "I'm sorry, I have to go deal with some company matters now."
Upon hearing this, Yu Miaoyin first widened her eyes slightly, then playfully blinked, her lips curving upward, and she said with a hint of chiding amusement:
"Go ahead. But we need to exchange contact information. Later, I'll treat you to a meal as thanks for today's events, and also... for your credit in helping me with my foot massage."
Recalling the foot massage scene, Yu Miaoyin's face instantly flushed, looking radiant and captivating.
Lu Chen could not help but chuckle softly, then nodded and replied, "Okay."
The two took out their phones and added each other's contact information.
After adding, Lu Chen looked at Yu Miaoyin once more and softly said, "Then I'll be going now. Talk to you next time."
Yu Miaoyin gently hummed in acknowledgment, watching Lu Chen turn and leave.
Watching Lu Chen's receding figure, Yu Miaoyin suddenly pouted her small mouth, her rosy lips slightly pursed, much like an inviting cherry.
She mumbled softly, "Really, what could be so important that he's unwilling to stay a little longer, even with a beautiful girl like me?"
She stood in place and gently stomped her foot.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something amusing, a brilliant smile appeared on her face.
Yu Miaoyin excitedly took out her phone, her slender fingers tapping a few times on the screen, and dialed a number.
