Fang Moâer casually said, âHeâs busy with something.â
The others did not understand what was going on, so they remained silent.
After a while, Jack pushed open the door and strode in. His eyes immediately found Fang Moâer, who was already waiting off stage. Without saying anything, Jack headed straight to the stage.
Unexpectedly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Sandy, who had been sent away by Jack, said coyly, âI want to watch you guys rehearse, okay?â Her voice could be heard before she even appeared.
Fang Moâer deduced that the voice belonged to Jackâs girlfriend.
Sandy smiled and looked at Jack fawningly. However, she soon realized that there was another woman present. A womanâs sixth sense was very sharp. Sandy noticed that when Jack had seen her enter, he had subconsciously glanced at Fang Moâer.
Although he had quickly averted his gaze, Sandy still felt that something was wrong.
She looked at Fang Moâer warily and thought about how Jack had been looking for someone in the lounge. Could it be that Jack had been looking for this woman?
Sandy immediately walked towards Fang Moâer with a strange expression on her face.
Jack immediately pulled Sandy over. âWhat are you doing here? Weâre all rehearsing.â
âThen why is she here?â Sandy pointed at Fang Moâer.
Jack said, âSheâs a celebrity who came to participate in the performance.â
Grudgingly, Sandy had to believe this statement, but she still looked past Jack to size Fang Moâer up and scrutinize her.
Just then, Assistant Yuâs voice came from outside, âEveryone, in appreciation for all of your hard work, this is a gift from Miss Fangâs boyfriend to everyone. Thank you for taking care of Miss Fang.â
Assistant Yu had come at just the right time. There were a few people behind him, all of them bearing fruits and drinks. They quickly came in and put down the gifts.
When Sandy heard that all these things had been sent by Fang Moâerâs boyfriend, she immediately smiled. The hostility from before was completely gone.
She even joked, âOh, your boyfriend is so warm-hearted.â
Assistant Yu walked over to Fang Moâerâs side and asked when Fang Moâer would be done. After learning that it might go on until midnight, he nodded and left.
The rehearsals continued, until itwas time to rehearse the main song.
Fang Moâer and Jack each held a bottle of mineral water in place of a microphone. The accompaniment was the original track. The two of them also lip-synched to the music as they walked around.
Fang Moâer had a good memory and she could remember everything in one go.
However, there was one member who kept walking around to the wrong places, resulting in them having to repeat the sequence again several times.
Sandy was eating the fruits that had just been delivered as she watched Jack on stage with fascination.
They rehearsed over and over again on stage. Each time Jack and Fang Moâer looked at each other, there was a touch of tenderness in their eyes.
Initially, Fang Moâer had found this gaze a little strange, but since she had found out that Jack had a girlfriend, she naturally took it to be a part of the performance.
A singerâs gaze was also a visual effect that could enhance the feeling of a song.
Thus, it was natural for Fang Moâer to return the gaze with the same warmth.
After all, this was a heartwarming song about the positive energy of a âDream.â It was natural for the singer to sing with a smile and an affectionate look in his eyes.
Even Sandy did not find anything wrong with Jackâs gaze on the stage. She thought it was just a part of his normal performance.
Little did she know that there was an extra focus and depth in Jackâs eyes compared to when he usually sang. Jack was not paying much attention to his girlfriend who was sitting in the audience seats. After all, with every relationship that he had in his past, his usual pattern was to find an excuse to break up with the girl after less than a month. He would then give her some money as compensation and warn her not to pester him anymore.
Jack did not hide his gaze at all. However, when his eyes met Fang Moâerâs smiling eyes, Jackâs gaze wavered. When their eyes met, he suddenly felt a buzzing in his head, as if someone had cast a spell on him and caused his brain to short-circuit.
If he had not been lip-syncing, he might have even sung the wrong lyrics.
At that moment, he truly felt like they were a couple who was deeply in love with each other.
This momentary illusion was fleeting, but it was exceptionally sweet, making him want to relive it again and again. Unfortunately, immediately after the song ended, the expression on Fang Moâerâs face became cool and polite again. It was as if the earlier deep affection had merely been a performance.
This made Jack, who had always been the one who captivated women, feel a sense of loss for the first time in his life.
