Nangong Tianxiang saw that everyone recognized her, and instead of shying away, she confidently walked towards the stage with her long, beautiful legs...
Her every step was perfectly measured—not a centimeter more, not a centimeter less—the uniformity was astonishing.
From this, it was clear that Nangong Tianxiang became an object of fascination not just because of her beauty, but also due to her effort and the singing skills she practiced day and night.
With each step in sync with the music's rhythm, Nangong Tianxiang moved forward.
It felt as if each step landed right on the audience's hearts, causing them to race uncontrollably.
When Nangong Tianxiang reached the stage, the rhythm gradually quickened. In tune with it, she swayed her hips, spun around, twirled her hair, and blinked her eyes—a scene that completely enchanted the men.
The crowd shouted and roared: "Princess Xiang'Er, I love you!"
"Princess Xiang'Er, you're so beautiful, love you so much..."
"Love you..."
The entire sports field turned into a spectacle, and Nangong Tianxiang greeted everyone with both hands.
At this moment, a senior hurriedly brought over a microphone, his voice brimming with undisguised admiration.
"Princess Xiang'Er, did you know I've been waiting for you for a long time?" the senior said passionately.
Originally, he just intended to stir up the atmosphere, but his voice made many men envy him in secret, silently cursing how even Four Eyes dared to dream of such a beauty. They planned to teach him a lesson once the event was over.
"Haha, thank you for your patience," Nangong Tianxiang's voice was exceptionally clear, charming everyone.
Then Nangong Tianxiang looked at the crowd, smiling sweetly, and said, "Good evening, everyone."
"Good evening..." The response to Nangong Tianxiang was deafening.
The senior and his partner, witnessing the excitement onsite, felt a sense of relief.
"I'm very grateful to the leaders of Peking University for this opportunity to be here tonight, and I'm also grateful for the warm welcome from all the students. I hope everyone has a great time tonight," Nangong Tianxiang said cheerfully, though her gaze seemed to be searching for someone in the crowd.
But there were too many people, and she couldn't tell if that person was present.
The crowd cheered warmly at Nangong Tianxiang's words.
The senior, hearing the cheers, chuckled and said, "Princess Xiang'Er, if I'm not mistaken, today is your birthday, right?"
"Oh? How did you know?" Nangong Tianxiang asked with a smile. As a celebrity, her information had been shared countless times online, so it wasn't surprising for others to know her birthday, and her reaction wasn't overly astonished.
"I'm actually a fan of yours, which is how I know about your birthday, Princess Xiang'Er. I wonder if you have anything to say to everyone on your birthday, and what song you'll bring us?"
"Yes! We're even more curious about your birthday wish this year, Princess Xiang'Er," the female senior said, following up on the man's words.
"Thank you both for remembering me..."
"We remember too..." The crowd below chimed in to say they also remembered Nangong Tianxiang's birthday.
Nangong Tianxiang, hearing this, happily said, "Thank you, thank you everyone for remembering my birthday. To be honest, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would've forgotten it myself."
"So, Princess Xiang'Er, what song do you plan to sing for us today? The stage is all yours," the senior said politely.
"Alright, thank you," Nangong Tianxiang, unflustered, answered with a smile and a nod.
Then the senior and his partner left the stage, leaving Nangong Tianxiang alone.
Nangong Tianxiang said with a smile, "What songs do you all like to hear me sing? How about we do some song requests today?"
"Yes!"
"How about 'Piaoxue'?"
"No, no, let's hear 'Ting Hai'..."
"No, let's have this one..."
The crowd shouted out their favorite songs, hoping their goddess would sing them.
Finally, seeing the lack of agreement, Nangong Tianxiang smiled and named three songs, ultimately choosing to sing "Silly Girl".
Though the song was old, the Cantonese lyrics were pleasing to the ears. Even if many people didn't understand Cantonese, the melody still earned the goddess tremendous support.
Afterward, Nangong Tianxiang sang a few of her own specials.
As it approached ten o'clock, Nangong Tianxiang had been singing for almost an hour.
At this point, the two seniors returned to the stage.
"Princess Xiang'Er, thank you for the wonderful performance. Everyone, did you enjoy it?"
"Yes..." The crowd erupted into an unprecedented frenzy.
"So, does everyone want to know what Princess Xiang'Er's birthday wish is this year?"
"Yes..." Everyone wanted to get closer to the goddess, eager to hear her birthday wish in hopes of fulfilling it.
"Shall we ask the goddess what her birthday wish is?" the female host senior asked loudly.
"Yes."
Nangong Tianxiang was a bit shy as she lifted her head, looking out at the crowd.
Meanwhile, Yao Xueling, in the audience, naturally hoped that Nangong Tianxiang wouldn't say anything about love. After all, Nangong Tianxiang was still young, with a career path in stardom ahead of her. Falling in love too early could make her future path even more challenging, perhaps leaving this former goddess less admired if she became settled as a wife.
"Please, goddess, tell us your birthday wish, so we can see if we can fulfill it?" the senior host shouted loudly.
"Yes, what's your wish, goddess?" the crowd echoed loudly.
Nangong Tianxiang was internally struggling; should she check if that person was here? If she didn't ask now, perhaps there wouldn't be another chance.
But if she asked and he wasn't here, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Yet, what if he was here? If he was, shouldn't she say thank you for saving her life?
As she wrestled with her feelings, her eyes scanned the scene, and suddenly she seemed to spot a very familiar face. It wasn't clear under the dim lights, but she was certain it was him, she thought.
Then, as her gaze returned, she breathed an easy sigh only when she found the face she'd been eagerly waiting half a month to see again.
Seeing her sigh, everyone assumed she was about to reveal her wish and applauded in support.
Nangong Tianxiang picked up the microphone, her hands gripping it nervously.
Looking softly at the figure, she finally spoke after a long pause, "I thought you wouldn't come..." (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian with recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
