Chapter 723: Sudden Turn of Events

The little fella was so nervous that his voice changed. Cheng Ye was not a talkative person either, so he didn’t tell Si Chengluo that Xiaoqi was Ling Sheng’s son. After fulfilling his wish, he led Xiaoqi away.

Ling Sheng and the others happened to arrive just in time and had bought food and drinks. Those who understood would know that they were there to watch the finals. Those who didn’t would think that they had gathered to watch a movie! They were even eating.

They bought a lot of milk tea, which was all distributed in the name of the Eight Immortals. The backstage crew, the participants, their managers, and assistants all got their share. However, the participating youths were about to go on stage and would not eat or drink.

People like Si Chengluo had always been maintaining their figures. He would not touch high-calorie foodstuffs like milk tea. He was a very self-disciplined person.

Cheng Ye had a lot to ask Ling Sheng. What was with the child? When did she have a son? Why had she not told them?

On the other hand, Su Yi did not ask anything and simply accepted it. She hugged Xiaoqi happily. Sheng Sheng was truly a winner in life. She had a loving neighbor, such handsome uncles from both sides of the family, and even an adorable son.

The few of them were waiting backstage. Some reporters had come to interview the Eight Immortals. The Eight Immortals’ fans, who were happily watching the live streaming on the screen, spun around on the spot. Some sharp-eyed fans saw that other than them, there was also an adorable boy on the screen. He only appeared twice but looked pink and delicate. Seeing him made one’s heart almost burst with tenderness. They were all guessing who had brought the child.

The child was wearing an orange down jacket and holding two light sticks. Some people guessed that he was a young fan of Cheng Ye and Si Chengluo. He had to be someone’s relative. He was too adorable—chasing celebrities with his family members at a young age. He was definitely a celebrity-chasing winner. Not only could he be with the Eight Immortals, but he could also meet the little brothers backstage.

cHowever, until the end, no one knew who had brought the child over. Anyway, he seemed to be on good terms with everyone. The reporters did not manage to find out either. After the few of them said goodbye to the live-streaming audience, they left the resting lounge and went to the spectator seats.

Ling Sheng looked at the stadium, which was full of people. If someone had trypophobia, they would be scared to death looking at this sight. She herself felt dizzy just looking at it.

Besides the clusters of orange and blue colors, the other colors were separated. Even if they were together, they only made up small sections.

Just by looking at the seat positions, one could tell the purchasing power of the fans, the number of fans, and capabilities of their idols at a single glance.

Xiaoqi was the most pampered person. He did not need to use his feet no matter where he went, as the uncles naturally carried him around, especially Ji Fanchen. He practically held Xiaoqi in his arms everywhere. If he couldn’t see the boy, he would look for him every two seconds and shout to see who was in front of him.

Conversely, as the mother, Ling Sheng was not concerned at all. She did not care where her son was, nor was she afraid that her son would be kidnapped by strangers.

Most people had already entered the venue. The orderliness in the venue was pretty good. It was said that nearly 1,000 security guards had been mobilized for the safety of this show.

There was suddenly chaos on the left-hand side. Judging from the shouts, someone seemed to have fainted. There were many people after all, and they were all entering the venue, so it was a mess for a moment.

Ling Sheng and the others had just passed by the place when they saw the crowd started to get congested like tidal waves. Everyone squeezed into the narrow corridor.

The security guards had also noticed the abnormality there. Upon seeing that the situation was not good, they shouted for the crowd to not move or get anxious. and to stay where they were.

However, the crowd was already in a complete mess due to the unexpected situation. They crowded together, pushing and squeezing one another. After someone fell, the situation became even worse.

Nangong Lengyu had said that she was accompanying Song Yiyan to watch the live performance. However, she actually had her own selfish motives. She quite liked Si Chengluo and was considered his ‘mama’ fan[1]. She had come to cheer him on.

Luo Xin, who was Song Yiyan’s best friend, had followed her over here too. In fact, the three women had come together.

Before they could reach their seats, an overcrowding incident happened. The moment the girl behind them fell, she was stepped on a few times by the people around her. She cried out in fright.

[1] ‘Mama’ fans refer to older women who treat the idols like their sons.
