Chapter 390: What’s a Sword on Top of the Head?

At the music festival, there were so many people, Bai Wei had never seen so many ordinary people gathered together to celebrate.

He had never participated in a music festival before, and he personally didn’t like crowded places with lots of people.

However, for people who lack entertainment activities, besides watching TV, they are happy to participate in various festive celebrations.

The location chosen was Sapporo, which is the largest city in Hokkaido with a large population.

Many of the singers invited to this music festival are well-known from TV, including Hatsurai Wagaizuma.

This singer, who rose to fame just six months ago, already has a large group of fans and loyal listeners. Her versatile composition and singing style perfectly match the preferences of young people and cater to the aesthetic taste of the modern generation.

Some more modern songs may not be popular in this era because they are too ahead of their time, but catchy melodies with simple music scores can leave a deep impression on people, as they are in a transition period from simplicity to complexity.

Bai Wei doesn’t have a deep impression of Hatsurai Wagaizuma, except for remembering that Sakurai Shiru is her loyal fan. He has only listened to a few of her songs. Although he has some knowledge of music, he has no intention of becoming a cultural critic. In fact, it’s not difficult for him to promote a singer if he wants to, just by exploiting the popularity of the three major divas… But it’s too easy, so he prefers to let the music of this era develop freely.

But how does she really know me?

Bai Wei remembered her previous behavior, and it didn’t make sense to act like they were meeting for the first time. She shouldn’t have such a low guard, especially if we’re already acquainted. But how can there be only one-sided familiarity?

Could it be that she has secretly liked me for a long time?

That’s impossible… Who could secretly like me without me noticing?

If she has that ability, she might as well intern at the CIA.

If it’s not a secret admiration, Bai Wei can’t think of any reason why she would observe him from a distance and only now make official contact. Based on her appearance and personality, this enchanting and captivating Hatsurai Wagaizuma has no reason to avoid him, and when they unexpectedly met, she rushed towards him like an unleashed Shiba Inu, without any reservation.

The more Bai Wei thought about it, the more puzzled he became, and he could only roam around the music festival venue.

There were actually many stages here, and once the festival begins, it lasts for more than one day, usually ranging from three days to a week.

The main stage opens in the evening, and the other smaller stages also invite different musicians to perform.

Do you remember the group of rock youth we saw at the subway station before? Bai Wei also went on stage and sang a song called "Lemon." They also arrived at the venue, but it was already the end of the performance. They also gained some popularity, and the lead singer performed very energetically.

At this time, the music industry belonged to a niche circle. Although it had a wide influence, there were not many musicians. Considering the future booming Yingzhou music industry, one can imagine its potential for development and competition pressure.

Bai Wei went to the most crowded place, the main stage. There were already tens of thousands of people here. Since the singing had started, only top singers could perform on the main stage. They had many fans, but the quality of their songs… well, they were okay, just like starfish.

He stood at the back for a while, not knowing when it would be Hatsurai Wagaizuma’s turn to perform. He had gotten a ticket, which would be a waste if he didn’t use it. He also wanted to ask the other person how they knew his name. But then he thought, there was no need to stay here and wait, even if she went on stage, he wouldn’t be able to ask. It would be better to go to the backstage and ask her in person.

It was a very simple task for Bai Wei to get past the backstage staff. He walked along the way and asked the people around him. He found out the location of the contestants’ resting room without any obstacles. However, the foot traffic here was relatively high, so he didn’t push the door open. Instead, he went close and heard the complaints coming from the room.

"Your performance has been delayed by half an hour."

"I’m sorry for causing you trouble, but the car broke down on the way. I didn’t want this either. If it weren’t for someone kind enough to help…"

"You’ve mentioned the kind person several times already. I understand, Wagaizuma. Can you focus your energy on the performance? That kind person already knows who you are and definitely won’t leave."

"Mhmm."

"And your makeup, don’t put on any more, it’s fine like this."

"I don’t like a bare face, it looks better when it’s heavier, it suits my taste, like Cleopatra."

"Cleopatra looks like a cat, but when you paint like this, it looks like a poisonous snake with green scales."

"Put down the makeup remover quickly! Are you trying to kill the cash cow? How are you going to support the pretty boys at the milk bar with my ruined makeup, sister!"

The sounds of arguing, laughter, and playing continued, and Bai Wei wanted to listen a little longer, but the staff on one side had already come over.

"Where are you from, staff member? The place is busy right now, so please don’t stand idle in the middle of the aisle, find something to do, okay?"

Bai Wei said, "Sorry, I’ll…"

Just as he said that, he suddenly recognized the voice, and looked down. "Huh?"

The staff member was busy calculating something, dealing with work schedules anxiously. It was already busy enough to coordinate the performances of these big shots, and Guan Ling even had to leave Yagyū Simozi aside to handle some simple tasks. Originally, Yagyū Simozi was just a temporary worker, but because of her accurate judgment and scheduling, she was temporarily promoted several levels and given important tasks, and even her salary was increased.

Guan Ling couldn’t refuse and was very busy, showing excellent skills in managing and coordinating the scene.

Then she bumped into the young man in front of her and frowned, saying, "I already said, sir, you must…"

She lifted her head, about to scold with a stronger tone, but when she glanced up, she was stunned, her eyes went blank, her heartbeat paused for a second, then suddenly sped up.

"Whi-, whi-, whi…" She stammered, unable to say the name.

"It’s me." Bai Wei grabbed his own ‘sister’s hand. "It’s not a suitable place to talk here, let’s go somewhere else."

Guan Ling immediately forgot about work and let herself be led by the hand, like a young bride. Her mind became a jumble.

Why was Mr. White here? Wasn’t he still at home? How could he find this place accurately?

Coincidences always happen unexpectedly.

Bai Wei looked at Guan Ling and asked, "How come you’re working at the music festival? Weren’t you supposed to attend the exchange meeting? Are you interested in music?"

"No no no, it’s not that, I was just pulled over temporarily."

"Is it really so desperate for help?" Bai Wei was speechless. "What’s a college student like you doing here?"

Guan Ling didn’t know what to say. She used Yagyū Simozi’s body, but still needed to work to earn a living.

She could tell that Bai Wei sensed something was off, but he didn’t figure it out right away.

It would be exposed sooner or later, but… should she explain it now? Right here? In this situation?

She helplessly wrestled with her feelings, her conflicted expression caught Bai Wei’s eye. Seeing that his sister was fine, he relaxed his tone and adjusted his emotions.

"I’m not trying to stop you from enjoying these things, hobbies… I also know that you like to relax by listening to music, you’ve always loved Hatsurai Wagaizuma’s songs." Bai Wei noticed that his sister was still looking down, he gently patted her head. "Alright, I got a bit carried away, I apologize."

Nervously clenching her fist, Guan Ling, who had unexpectedly experienced being treated as a sister, couldn’t avoid being caught up in this gentle care.

She found it difficult to resist this unconditional goodness. The mix of endearment and affectionate care from a brother towards his sister was like a jam-filled egg tart for her, making her somewhat intoxicated by the sweetness and it smelled like love.

Guan Ling couldn’t bring herself to say the words that would prove her identity for now.

A sword was held against her neck, forcing her to stay silent, endure the guilt in her conscience, and tolerate the thrill of betrayal.

Word name color!

Guan Ling mustered up her courage and playfully called out, "Brother…"

Bai Wei slumped his shoulders and said, "Alright, alright, I won’t stop you. It’s been years since you’ve used this tone."

Guan Ling thought to herself, "So, she can also act spoiled towards her brother… How nice…"

She thought that coming this far would satisfy her, but the desires in her heart were like little demons that couldn’t be appeased. Once she took one step forward, she wanted to take the next.

Suddenly, she wanted a hug. Would that be too much?

Her conscience told her to stop here, but her inertia told her not to. After all, this was Yagyū Simozi’s body, right?

She once again followed her heart, lifted her eyes, her gaze no longer as clear as before, became somewhat hazy and intoxicated.

She didn’t touch a drop of alcohol, but when she approached him, she was already drunk and made a mess of herself.

You can’t wake up someone pretending to be drunk, nor can you wake up someone who is drunk and passed out. Guan Ling is too young, and at this age, it’s easy for a child to fall deeply in love and willingly submerge themselves completely.

She lightly tiptoed and slowly approached, like a big Maine Coon cat wanting to get close to its owner, seeking a hug.

Of course, Bai Wei wouldn’t refuse this hug. It wasn’t the first time, although he was also puzzled why Frost suddenly changed her mood so quickly.

Just as they were getting closer and closer to the boundary, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Mr. White?"
