Chapter 947: Stage Malfunction
The staff member was shocked and stuttered, “He went on stage. He just got on stage.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was thrown directly against the wall. When he looked up again, he saw the young man running away in a panic.
On this side, Chen Nan was scared out of his wits. He tried his best to chase after him but could not catch up. When he reached the backstage area, he saw Si Chengluo dash through directly, ignoring the obstruction of the staff members on the scene too.
Nangong Lengyu was waiting for Ling Sheng backstage with a down jacket. She was waiting for her to get off the stage so that she could put it on her immediately. When she saw Si Chengluo break through, she frowned strangely and even called out to him.
Chen Nan shouted at the top of his lungs as he ran, “Stop him! Stop him!”
He’s gone crazy!
Ling Sheng was on stage right now! Was he going to run onto the stage to find her? He mustn’t create a disturbance again at this juncture!
Ling Sheng was wearing a starry dress. Under the light of the stage, she looked like a little princess, sitting on the moon and slowly descending from a high place. A heavenly-like voice flowed from her lips, causing waves of screams from the audience.
As she looked at the audience below the stage, she was extremely excited. Her heart was jumping with joy. She could finally work. Standing under the spotlight was where she belonged!
The majority of the audience below the stage had come to cheer for their own celebrity. Among them, Si Chengluo had the most fans and they were the craziest. The seats they had bought were in patches to facilitate support. The orange color was everywhere, and the fluorescent colors were especially eye-catching.
Ling Sheng had been involved in a scandal with Si Chengluo before, and she had even been hated by the Fairies[1] because she had resigned from acting in the drama ‘School Bully’. At this moment, when they saw the ethereal, fairy-like beauty on the stage, they felt righteously indignant.
As his wifey fans, they loved to make blind conjectures. Why had this little b*tch Ling Sheng so coincidentally appeared on the stage of the Lantern Festival Gala?
She must have come for their Luo Luo! She was a scheming b*tch and a white lotus! She had resigned from ‘School Bully’ and had even framed them Fairies, saying that the Fairies had threatened her life and safety. Bullsh*t! She had put on a good, pitiful show and pushed everything on them as his fans!
When Si Chengluo’s figure suddenly appeared on the stage, his fans, the Little Fairies saw him immediately. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they saw the handsome young man, who had just been a silhouette behind the scenes, rush toward Ling Sheng.
Ling Sheng was immersed in her performance and could not react in time. She was pushed forcefully and staggered two steps forward.
She was wearing high heels, so it was not easy for her to maintain her balance in the first place. The moment she fell forward, she let out a low scream. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, she was pulled into someone’s embrace.
The next moment…
There was a loud bang.
Then, she heard the young man call out anxiously, “Big Sister, it’s all right.”
Ling Sheng turned around and met the young man’s deep, dark, and worried eyes which still carried a lingering fear. Her ears rang, and broken images flashed past quickly. She felt a splitting headache instantly.
There was a dark ma.s.s of crowd.
A girl who had been suspended with iron chains.
There was also a young man, who was covered in blood, rushing over like a wild beast.
The moment the chain was chopped off, the young man who had caught the girl said the same thing. “BigSister, it’s alright.”
Ling Sheng did not know what she had seen. She only knew that if she did not ask now, she did not know when the next time would be. She abandoned all her distracting thoughts and her eyes narrowed suddenly as she stared into his eyes unblinkingly. “Who are you?”
Nangong Lengyu had chased after him with Chen Nan. When she saw the scaffold smash down, her legs went weak after shouting a ‘Sheng Sheng!’. Her vision grew black as she fell to the ground.
Chen Nan’s eyes widened in shock as well. His heart skipped a beat. After saying ‘be careful’, he regained his senses and offered a helping hand to support Nangong Lengyu.
Below the stage, the audience, directors, and crew members were already going crazy. They watched as a huge metal frame fell from the stage with an explosive bang and smashed directly behind the duo.
The frame was too heavy, and the stage sank directly under the force. There was a big black hole. If Ling Sheng had not been shoved away, she would have been the one getting hit just now.
The staff members at the scene did not know if they should be afraid or glad at this moment. Thankfully, it had not crushed anyone. If it had really smashed onto Ling Sheng, she would have been dead.
The gala was live-streamed. It had happened so suddenly that the director had yet to react and the scene had yet to be cut off.
Upon seeing the person on the television, Xiaoqi burst into loud tears. “Mommy!”
Su Xiyin’s face turned deathly pale from sudden fright, and her tears fell. In a panic, she hugged Xiaoqi. “It’s fine. Mommy’s fine.”
Huo Ci’s eyes reddened instantly as he looked at Ling Sheng in the screen with shock. His body was already so stiff that he could not move.
Huo Xiao clutched his heart. Upon seeing that Ling Sheng had been saved by Si Chengluo, that she was fine, he reached his hand out shakily to take the medicine and put it in his mouth. Then, he leaned against the sofa and panted heavily.
On the stage, Ling Sheng was still looking at Si Chengluo, waiting for his answer.
Upon seeing that she wasn’t speaking, Si Chengluo looked at her anxiously and asked, “Are you okay, Ling Sheng? Are you all right? Where are you hurt?”
He had just been take a short nap in the resting room. He dreamed that something had fallen from the stage and crushed her. Then, her flesh and blood became a blurry.
After waking up in shock, he rushed over recklessly. He had been dreaming about what would happen in the future during this period of time. Strangely, it came true every single time.
“Thank you.” Ling Sheng shook her head. Si Chengluo was the one in front of her. She had missed him again. It had only been a moment.
He called her Big Sister.
The strong smell of blood filled her nose. When she looked up, she caught sight of Si Chengluo’s left shoulder. His clothing had been torn, and there was a very, very long wound. Blood had already soaked his shirt.
Nangong Lengyu was the first to rush over. She tried her best to calm herself down. When she asked about the smell of blood, she bellowed anxiously at the staff member rushing over. “Ambulance! Quick, call the ambulance!”
“Does your stomach hurt? Do you feel unwell?” Ling Sheng watched her mother rush over and kneel down beside her with a pair of red eyes. Her body was trembling uncontrollably as she hugged her to comfort her. “It’s all right, it’s all right. The ambulance will be here soon. It’ll be here soon.”
Ling Sheng’s eyes stung, and tears nearly streamed down her face. She hurriedly reached out to wipe her tears. “Mom, I’m fine. My stomach doesn’t hurt. I’m not injured. It’s Si Chengluo.”
The live-stream was interrupted due to a sudden major incident on the stage.
The audience was waiting to see the development of the situation, especially the Little Fairies of Si Chengluo. They had already been frightened out of their wits as they looked at the people on the stage with complicated emotions.
Ling Sheng had sprained her ankle and sc.r.a.ped her knee. They were all small injuries; it wasn’t a big deal.
However, Si Chengluo’s left shoulder had been grazed by the frame. There was a very long and deep wound that needed more than 20 st.i.tches. It was right between his shoulder blades. The wound looked quite scary.
[1] Si Chengluo’s fans are named as 仙女, which translates to ‘Fairies’.
