Zhang Jingdong was provoked by her, and he couldn’t hold back any longer.
So he said, "But... what if we’re overheard? Don’t you care about your reputation?"
Xiao Fei saw that Zhang Jingdong was finally tempted and immediately said, "We have some classes where we don’t need to answer questions."
"Besides, although I warmed up my voice today, it’s not in great condition. If you could give me a bottle of Life One, I’m sure I’d be in much better shape!"
Zhang Jingdong now had no reason to refuse!
After all, she was a big star, currently backstage, and more importantly, she was going to sing in front of hundreds of millions of people across the country shortly...
And now he had an opportunity...
So he decided to just go along with it, "Alright, since you’re so eager to learn, I’m naturally willing to teach you this lesson!"
Xiao Fei then wrapped her arms around Zhang Jingdong’s head again, "Mr. Zhang, I knew you were the best teacher in the world. I’ll certainly study hard from now on..."
By this time, all the audience members in the auditorium had already taken their seats, holding all kinds of support signs.
The largest of these signs displayed Xiao Fei’s name. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel-fire.ɴet
They shouted their idol’s name excitedly.
"Go Xiao Fei... Go Xiao Fei..."
Meanwhile, backstage in various lounges and rehearsal rooms, everyone was busily preparing.
All the singers were making final preparations for going on stage, some continuing warm-ups, others reviewing lyrics.
But none were as busy as Xiao Fei nor trained as hard as she did, so they couldn’t get the rewards she could.
About ten minutes later, Liu Xiang received a text message from Xiao Fei: Come in.
It wasn’t that Zhang Jingdong’s teaching ability had declined; it was just that the environment was too special and the time urgent, so he tried to shorten the lesson.
However, he still taught Xiao Fei all the key points.
Liu Xiang glanced around, then took advantage of the deserted moment to enter the lounge, suppressing her shyness.
Zhang Jingdong told Xiao Fei, "Forget everything and just enjoy the act of singing itself; tonight, you’re the Queen of this stage!"
Xiao Fei happily replied, "Thank you, boss, don’t worry, I’ve remembered!"
Zhang Jingdong gave her a few more words of advice, then left the lounge with Liu Xiang.
He didn’t return directly to the auditorium but went to the restroom first.
He took a good ten minutes before coming out and returning to the auditorium.
Once back at his seat, Zhou Zhou leaned against him immediately.
Zhang Jingdong felt a tightness in his chest.
Zhou Zhou suddenly said, "So Xiao Fei uses Dior perfume, huh?"
Zhang Jingdong feigned calmness, "I think she does."
"But she’s using Chanel lipstick."
Zhang Jingdong was momentarily dazed; he’d just cleaned up in the restroom and had even checked.
"I didn’t guess, I smelled it."
"Smelled it? You’re impressive; lipstick actually has a scent?"
Zhou Zhou said meaningfully, "You’ve got her lipstick on, so of course your words carry its scent..."
Zhang Jingdong knew he couldn’t keep it hidden now, and he vaguely felt that Zhou Zhou had accepted certain things; otherwise, she wouldn’t speak to him in this tone.
So he said, "Alright, I admit, I... I’ve indeed got some on."
"You probably didn’t just get some, but gave her a lot in return, didn’t you?"
At this point, Zhang Jingdong’s gaze burned into Zhou Zhou, "You knew even about this?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhou seemed a bit smug, "Planes usually carry a lot of people, and most who fly aren’t ordinary folks; typically, the more outstanding they are, the bolder they get, so many things ordinary people wouldn’t dare to think about, they dare to do directly."
"Once, while serving meals, I saw a couple emerge from the restroom, and the scent on that man was almost identical to yours now."
Zhang Jingdong suddenly became exuberant, "Was that man as handsome as me?"
Zhou Zhou was startled at first, then quickly recalled something, giving Zhang Jingdong a sidelong glance, "No."
"Then that woman must not be as good-looking as you; next time we’ll completely surpass them!"
Zhou Zhou saw that he actually dared to say it, subconsciously glanced at Zhang Xiaowan and the others who hadn’t noticed this side, then viciously rolled her eyes at Zhang Jingdong, "Dream on!"
Zhang Jingdong laughed heartily, "I don’t just dream, my teaching is good too, otherwise, Xiao Fei wouldn’t insist on needing a lesson right before going on stage!"
Zhou Zhou deeply looked at Zhang Jingdong, "Though it’s hard to believe Xiao Fei’s really like that, I have to say, you seem to have real charm and strength."
At this point, Zhang Jingdong pulled Zhou Zhou snugly by the shoulder, "Do you want to see that side of Xiao Fei?"
Though Zhou Zhou found Zhang Jingdong’s words fantastical and hard to believe, her heart felt inexplicably agitated, "You... you’re simply too bold!"
Zhang Jingdong laughed carefreely, "Still the same sentence, the brave enjoy the world first!"
"Zhou Zhou, as long as you’re willing to discard those mental chains, you’ll find an entirely different world, witnessing scenes you wouldn’t dare imagine!"
"But..." Zhou Zhou furrowed her brows slightly, "Will she really accept it? She... she’s after all a big star!"
Zhang Jingdong twitched his nose, "But you must know that the man she faces is her boss!"
"Marilyn Monroe might be a superstar to the world, but when she faced Kennedy, she only saw herself as a little woman."
Zhou Zhou paused, then with some reluctance, some relief, and some joy, nodded, "...Alright."
