Chapter 2: A Tremendous Splash

Translator: Claire.KK

When the resounding singing started to be revealed like a veil being lifted, the light finally cast at the protagonist, Bai Yihan. As he nodded smilingly appearing on the large screen, the audience burst into a thrill of gasp.

There was no deliberately contrived affection, and there was no makeup that was so delicate that even the eyelashes were well-defined on him, but everyone’s heart pounded fast at the first sight of him.

Some young girls holding their idols’ name boards had forgot everything at that moment and their gaze were chasing every movement appearing on Bai Yihan’s face on the big screen. The attraction Bai Yihan had to the public was totally different from that of the current young and handsome idols.

To be honest, being on the huge screen of the music festival had been the Achilles’ heel of many stars. On this screen, even a small freckle on your face would be magnified infinitely which would make you become a talk of the town or even a most talked-about topic in some tabloids, but Bai Yihan was different. He was like a dream. When he looked up and his beautiful eyelashes slowly rose, the world seemed to flow to another space.

At that moment, People saw the depth of Bai Yihan.

Bai Yihan was not known as a singer and he didn’t attain perfection in his singing skill, nevertheless, with such a short time less than four minutes, everyone were indulging themselves in chasing his being.

Maybe it was like what an entertainment editor wrote afterwards: Features can be modified to stand comparison, but his demeanor is unparalleled.

Three seconds after Bai Yihan said goodbye to the audience with a free and easy wave, there was warm applause resonating in the conference hall.

When Hong Yueying came to the stage again, it was hard for her to hide her surprise. She thought the five years for him working abroad would make Bai Yihan’s face full of traces of vicissitudes, but she didn’t expect him to be as elegant as ten years ago.

The video clips of Bai Yihan’s part in the music festival had been wildly spread on the Internet. The growth of click rate was amazing, and it instantly became a hot topic on Weibo.

“Are everybody all charmed? I am not surprised by that because when Our Bai, The Best Actor, just debuted, he was highly praised by all the media for being a super hottie and looked Omni-bearing on camera from any shot from all angles, absolutely immaculate!”

“Seems that Uncle Best Actor Bai have already captured the hearts of numerous pretty girls within only four minutes! Just a kind reminder, don’t forget to support your favorite singers just because you’re deeply touched by Mr. Bai!” Taking the opportunity to say something, Lin Song forgot not to seek attention and impress the audience.

Hong Yueying was totally speechless. ‘What “Uncle”? Bai Yihan is only thirty-two and he just made his debut quite early, okay?’

It was the golden age for actors and many actors were still struggling to transfer from an eye candy to a skilled performing artist while Bai Yihan had already walked afar in this journey.

Hong Yueying was in deep wonder how could Lin Song that dope became a host? Great Waves should take the responsibilities for pulling him out to be a host rather than letting him stick to his old career–singing! Such a mess!

Almost at the end of Lin Song’s little speech, many netizens had come to comment beneath his Twitter logs to express their dissatisfaction.

The most classic comment was from some Lolita: “Come on, you’re an uncle okay! Best Actor Bai is only thirty-two and you called him “Uncle”? Are you still wrapped in a diaper?”

Bai Yihan went back to the backstage and the sponsor smiled to show him in. At that time, Bai Yihan didn’t know that the average audience rating of the whole music festival was 4.3%, while that of the second-half program with his appearance was as high as 4.8%. When it was replayed the next day, it soared to 6.2%.

Bai Yihan and Fang Chengye went back to the original dressing room, but Mi Chen was gone.

“Well? Don’t you wanna go back to have a rest? You’ve just finished your performance and I’ve already received several offers from many program groups for an interview with you! ”

“I promised to treat that little girl with supper.” Bai Yihan said with a smile.

“Ah! Yes! You have just returned home, and you are short of hands! You can hire her as your makeup artist! I didn’t expect that she was really good at such a young age. And it’s photogenic, much better than Lin Ruyi’s dramatic Baroque style! ”

Bai Yihan sat back quietly and looked at himself in the mirror. It was a wonderful feeling, as if everything in his heart was sketched on his face by her brush.

But two hours had passed since they sat down. The musical festival had come to its end, but Mi Chen hadn’t come back yet.

Fang Chengye heaved a sigh, “Maybe that little girl didn’t take what you said seriously so she has already been back.”

Bai Yihan remained silent and sat against the mirror with his eyes closed: “Maybe another ten minutes.”

The minutes had passed and Mi Chen still didn’t show up.

Bai Yihan stood up slowly and the glimmer of smile in his gaze had all gone, “What’s her name?”

“…I didn’t ask. It was in such a hurry. I saw her carrying a makeup case so I just took her in randomly. Shall I fetch a list of the makeup artists for you?”
