Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 353 - 48: In the Spotlight_2

Feeling the earnest emotions from the audience below, Emerald Sparrow pursed her lips and glanced at Asou Haruka, only to see that the latter had already turned her head to look at her. Gesturing with a wave of her hand for the audience to "listen quietly," she passed the microphone to Emerald Sparrow like a caring older sister, her every action seamless, yet her face still wore the professional smile of a "pop star," as if it were a mask, never revealing her true face.

It seemed that Asou Haruka had no intention of revealing any superfluous information on stage, even attempting to pretend she didn’t know Emerald Sparrow, which somewhat relieved her. Thus, Emerald Sparrow composed herself and, speaking as a "fan," she improvised a statement and rehearsed it in her mind. Despite the discomfort, she began to speak:

"Ma... Mari, welcome to Fangting City, everyone here... likes you a lot, and we hope you will come to like Fangting City too."

Her words made Asou Haruka step back exaggeratedly as if delighted, covering her mouth, "Really? You like me a lot?"

Emerald Sparrow responded with a wooden "Hmm."

Asou Haruka then turned the microphone toward the audience, cupping her hand around her ear like a lively young girl, "Is what she’s saying true?"

"True!"

The fans shouted in unison.

"Thank you! I’m so happy!"

With a radiant smile towards the audience, Asou Haruka skillfully blew a kiss, "Thank you all! I love you guys the most! So I’ll dedicate this song as a gift to you, your favorite ’Sophia’s Love Letter’!"

As her words ended, the band onstage immediately followed with the prelude of the song, and the stage lights transitioned from the harsh white to a softer pink.

Then, during the interlude, Asou Haruka led Emerald Sparrow to the side of the stage and with a very artificial business smile said, "Of course, I like you too."

"Ha..."

Emerald Sparrow, not understanding what was happening, cracked a dry smile, taking it as a response to her remark.

But before she could do anything further, she felt Asou Haruka’s face suddenly very close, and then, a soft sensation on her forehead.

The touch lasted only a moment, but Emerald Sparrow understood what it was, her body tensing in that instant.

It was a kiss.

A kiss on the forehead that seemed like an affectionate gesture between an older sister and a younger sister, so that the audience, witnessing it, didn’t think much of it.

Of course, this didn’t stop envious spectators from shouting freely nor the fans who were thrilled to see their idol’s tender side from screaming frantically. With just that gesture, the roar from the crowd almost overturned the entire venue.

This cheer also reached outside the venue, snapping Lin Xiaolu out of her casual chat with the mysterious trio.

After that, it evolved into the scene Lin Xiaolu witnessed.

...

...

Concerts must eventually come to an end, and after several hours of revelry and three encores, the pop star Asou Haruka’s Fangting City tour concert finally concluded.

Even as the performance ended, many fans were still immersed in the fervent atmosphere, excitedly chatting with one another.

Of course, this was also because it was the last show of Asou Haruka’s tour. Fangting City was the final stop on her tour, and after this, the concert series would be on pause, and for a long time to come, those fans would miss out on such exuberant performances.

Stacked with multiple factors, this meant the fans, despite having experienced three encores, were reluctant to leave, still gathering in the venue, soaking up the last of the warmth.

Emerald Sparrow naturally wasn’t one of them.

In fact, she was now desperate to rush backstage, grab Asou Haruka, and properly ask what on earth she was up to. Or rather, what was going on in her head.

A simple kiss on the forehead would ordinarily be a trivial matter... presumably a trivial matter, but doing such a thing in full view of everyone was entirely different. What was it for, mere mischief?

Pulling Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang along with a grave expression, Emerald Sparrow quickly headed outside the venue and soon spotted Lin Xiaolu amidst the crowd. After Lin Xiaolu and Jiang Yuan parted ways, she swiftly pulled Lin Xiaolu along, striding with determination towards the depths of the venue.

Xia Liang, who had witnessed the whole event from the beginning, guessed what was likely going on, so she followed Emerald Sparrow with interest. But Lin Xiaolu was clearly still puzzled, noticing Emerald Sparrow’s unusual demeanor and ultimately unable to resist asking:

"Where are we going?"

"To find someone." Emerald Sparrow answered without turning her head.

"Who?" Lin Xiaolu blinked in confusion.

"The one who was just singing on stage." Emerald Sparrow’s voice was flat.

"That pop star? Why?"

Lin Xiaolu followed closely behind Emerald Sparrow, quickening her pace to catch up, "Did you spot something wrong on stage?"

"...Sigh."

Emerald Sparrow sighed, unsure for what exactly, "It’s not that I found something wrong, but I know her, or let’s say, I came to the concert today to confirm her identity."
