“That is impossible!” Su Xia exclaimed while wiggling her finger from side to side. “That will never happen in this lifetime,” she added. 

Her gaze fell on Lu Jingyao’s face. Looking at the faint smile on his face, she immediately expressed her loyalty toward him. “I will never stop being a fan!” she yelled. 

Xu Si chuckled as he shook his head. 

He had been Lu Jingyao’s manager for many years. This girl would never miss out on fansigns or any other official events. Furthermore, she was an interesting person to talk to. He had a good impression of her and even chatted around with her sometimes. 

“You can be an exception. That way, even if you do not win the raffle, you will be able to attend the fansign,” he said. 

“Really?!” Su Xia asked, raising her eyes immediately. 　

“No, it was a joke,” Xu Si replied. 　　

“…”

Why was this person being like this? 　

Upon catching sight of Su Xia’s lowered eyes and unhappy expression, Xu Si looked toward her with a smile. “I do not have the ability to do so, unlike your idol,” he added. 

Following his gaze, Su Xia looked toward Lu Jingyao as well. 

“…”

The corner of her mouth twitched. “As a manager, why are you proposing such an idea! This goes against your work ethics. Beware, or I will sue you!” she exclaimed. 

“Look at you lashing out at me right now. Who was the one who looked at me pleadingly while asking me if what I said was real?” he asked. He crossed his arms. “Have you forgotten?” he questioned. 　　

Su Xia was rendered speechless. She chose to selectively ignore Xu Si. There was an evident, unsuppressed happiness in her gentle gaze as she turned over to look at Lu Jingyao. Her voice softened instinctively as well. 

“Brother, it is my birthday soon. Can you write the words “Happy Birthday” on the back of the album?” she asked. 

Lu Jingyao nodded. “Alright,” he said. 

Su Xia fixated her gaze on his well-defined knuckles and finger joints. 　

“Can you tell me your birthday wish?” he asked. 

She fell into a stupor upon hearing what he said. “Huh?” she asked. 

“Your birthday wish,” Lu Jingyao repeated once again. 

Xu Si lowered his eyes and stared at him in shock. 

“My birthday wish…” Su Xia murmured. Her eyes curved suddenly while she thought of what to say. Although her face was hidden from sight, it was obvious that she was smiling radiantly. “I wish that I am able to purchase a ticket to your concert without any hardships!” she exclaimed. 

It was really hard to purchase Lu Jingyao’s concert ticket. 　

She always asked those around her to help her purchase a ticket the day before they went on sale. There was a 1000:1 ratio of getting a ticket, thus she felt extremely lucky that she was able to get a concert ticket. 　

Lu Jingyao nodded slightly. He seemed to hold the galaxy in those deep, starry eyes of his. He rapped his knuckles on the table, letting out a series of dull thuds. “Tell Xu Si your address,” he ordered. 

Su Xia did not quite understand. However, her heart raced like it could sense that something unbelievable would soon occur. 　

His thin lips opened and closed as the smooth, melodious voice filled her ears. His voice sounded so damn good. “Someone will send a concert ticket over,” he said. 

Su Xia’s pupils constricted instantaneously. 　　

She could detect the joyous tone in his voice. “Think of it as my birthday gift for you,” he said.

　　——

Su Xia felt like she was on cloud nine even after reaching home, feeling like she was about to ascend up into the skies anytime soon. 

She collapsed on the sofa, trying her best to suppress her excitement. She then clicked into her chat with Han Yue on WeChat. 

“Ahhhh! You would not believe what just happened to me!” she exclaimed, sending out a voice message. 

Han Yue replied at once. “You attended Lu Jingyao’s fansign, right? I would like to remind you that it will not be long before you get blacklisted by me,” she said teasingly. 

“…” Su Xia looked at the time, then got up from the sofa. “Give me five minutes, I will be there immediately,” she said.
