230 First Performance (2/2)

That nothing safe is worth the drive and I will

Follow you follow you home,

I'll follow you, follow you home…

As Liling concluded, there was a second of quietness amongst the crowd before an ear deafening applause erupted in the large theatre.

Liling bowed a little and with a small smile she said a little thank you then handed the microphone to the MC who had come up the stage.

Liling left through the back, and there Miss Su was standing with a beautiful smile.

Liling, who wasn't sure if she did well, knew that she did when she saw the radiating smile on her manager's face.

''Come here…''

Liling was flabbergasted when she saw her manager open her arms wide. She gulped hard before slowly walking to her and hugging her.

''You did well, I'm proud of you.''

Miss Su said as she lightly patted her back.

''Thank you Manager Su. ''

After a moment, Miss Su withdrew and peered at her blushing face.

''There are some people who I want you to meet, it's just a dinner, you don't need to look so scared!''

Liling laughed, and nodded her head immediately.

''I'll first have to use the restroom.''

Miss Su nodded and she quickly ran off to the ladies restroom. Liling wanted to ease her bowels but most importantly, she wanted to call Liu Wei. She had told him earlier that day that she would be singing for him and that he should be there, she did not spot him in the crowd, and he wasn't in the VIP area.

''Hey…''

There was silence on the other end, before Liu Wei's voice came through.

''You were amazing. ''

A blush slowly crept up her cheeks and Liling shyly looked down on her feet.

''Did you like it?''

''I'll tell you when I see you.''

Liu Wei replied. He did not want any paparazzi following him, so he wore casual clothes and sat among the crowd. He was there from the beginning of the show till Liling walked up to the stage and up on till she left.

As she sang, he felt his whole world stop, when she had told him that she was going to sing for him, he did not expect something like that. His heart raced rapidly and when she finished, every fiber in him was yearning for her.

He was paralyzed for almost five minutes, before blinking back to consciousness. He stood up and briskly walked out of the hall, when he was out, he took out his phone to give her a call, but hers came in before he could dial her number.
