Perfect Superstar Chapter 76

PS Chapter 76 – No One Can Chase the Past

Jianghai University’s activities involving cultural performances are basically held in He Liang Great Auditorium. The scale of the auditorium is very large and the backstage is very s.p.a.cious. There are also broadcasting room, makeup room, dressing room, audio room, prop room and even shower room and lounge.

When Lu Chen came in, there were at least one or two hundred people in the big dressing room. Most of them were students who were going to perform on stage. Many women in beautiful costumes with makeup on were gathered in groups of twos’ and threes and were chatting and laughing together.

Lu Chen has partic.i.p.ated in many cultural performances, and is no stranger to the scene in the backstage of the auditorium. He took a seat in the corner, and leisurely opened the guitar case and took out the guitar. And while he was tuning the guitar, he was also practicing his hand.

His performance was scheduled for 8:30 in the evening, so it was still very early.

“Lu Chen…”

Just as Lu Chen was humming and practicing with the guitar, there was a soft call from the side.

Hearing this familiar voice, Lu Chen sighed in his heart.

He put down his guitar and turned around and asked, “w.a.n.g Ying, I haven’t seen you for a long time. What can I do for you?”

In front of Lu Chen is a girl in a white dress. She is about 1.60 m in height. She has a well-proportioned body, an oval face, willow leaf-like eyebrows, long hair, and has a shawl and thin cosmetic on. She was quite an outstanding beauty.

w.a.n.g Ying, a student in the Chinese Department of Jianghai University, is also Lu Chen’s ex-girlfriend.

Lu Chen’s indifferent tone made w.a.n.g Ying frown. She hesitated for a moment and asked, “Lu Chen, did Cao Xiuzhu tell you that? My uncle’s company at Hangzhou is recruiting people and the position is very good…”

“I know. The cla.s.s leader has already told me.”

Lu Chen interrupted, “Thank you for your kindness, but I intend to develop in the Capital, so thank you anyway.”

“Lu Chen!”

w.a.n.g Ying’s eyes flashed a touch of displeasure, and her voice raised a bit: “Can you stop being so stubborn? What’s your future in the Capital? Even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to consider the situation at your home, right?”

There was an expression of hatred on her face.

Lu Chen smile instead. “w.a.n.g Ying, it’s been so long, but your temper hasn’t changed. I don’t think there’s anything to say between us.”

w.a.n.g Ying was not angry. She asked thoughtfully, “Lu Chen, do you still hate me?”

Lu Chen shook his head, stood up, and said to w.a.n.g Ying, “I hated you before, but now I have thought it through.”

“I think even if there was no accident in my family, I am afraid the two of us will not last long, and I also have problems at that time, so we don’t need to blame each other. We will still be cla.s.smates and friends in the future.”

w.a.n.g Ying looked at Lu Chen.

Such a rational and mature Lu Chen, made her feel very strange, as if the one standing in front of her is someone else.

There is a feeling of loss.

After a while, she said somewhat absentmindedly, “Well, goodbye.”

After that, w.a.n.g Ying turned around and left, not very willing to go.

Lu Chen smiled. He was very clear about w.a.n.g Ying’s thought. She just wanted to make up for the guilt of breaking up with him.

But will he really be able to support himself if he stays in Hangzhou City and took that “very good” job?

As for the dispute with w.a.n.g Ying…

Let’s just forget about the past and let bygones be bygones!

Just as Lu Chen wanted to sit down again, he suddenly felt something was wrong and looked subconsciously to the right.

Just a few steps away from him, there was a beautiful woman.

Her water-blue evening dress perfectly serves as a contrast to her graceful figure. She has a pair of amazingly straight long legs that were swaying very casually, bright and divine eyes with a shallow smile, and her exquisite picturesque face were pleasing to the eye.

She sat there quietly, emitting enough light to illuminate the darkest corners.

Lu Chen could not help but be stupefied: “Su Xuan?”        

Su Xuan is a very famous figure in Jianghai University.

She is the flower of the Department of Foreign Languages. She has won first-cla.s.s scholars.h.i.+p every year. She is also a versatile singer and dancer. The number of her pursuers is comparable to the number of crucian carp crossing the river. Lu Chen knows Su Xuan. Of course, there weren’t many people who doesn’t know her, but they only have limited understanding about her.

He did not expect that Su Xuan would unexpectedly hide in here alone.

He didn’t even notice her before.

In Lu Chen’s limited impression, Su Xuan’s side is always surrounded by several admirers of her.

Su Xuan blinked her eyes and said, “Lu Chen, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on you two.”

Lu Chen smile dumbly, “Sorry, there was nothing wonderful about our talk.”

Su Xuan chuckled and said, “Seriously, I feel that w.a.n.g Ying still has feelings for you.”

Lu Chen and w.a.n.g Ying, a couple who have been in love with each other, are also famous at Jianghai University.

“Maybe…”

Lu Chen said, “That’s already in the past.”

Su Xuan understood that he was unwilling to talk about it anymore, so she changed the topic: “It must be very difficult for you to develop in the Capital?”

She usually seldom talks to boys, because if there are too many bees and b.u.t.terflies, they will become too pestering. And if she said a few more words to them, they might misunderstand. It was really troublesome for her. And tonight, in order to avoid those suitors that she specially ran to the corner backstage.

And the result, she unexpectedly saw a dialogue between former couples.

Su Xuan had heard a bit of gossip about Lu Chen before, and she appreciated his performance just now.

A real man should have self-respect and self-confidence.

So, she doesn’t mind talking to Lu Chen a little more. Anyway, everyone will go their separate ways tomorrow.

Lu Chen smiled and said, “it’s not easy. It requires a lot of effort. I hope I can succeed.”

He asked, “What are your plans after graduation?”

Perhaps this sentence is the most frequently asked by students today.

Su Xuan said, “I’ll go to Wharton Business School for graduate school.”

“Wharton?”

Lu Chen exclaimed: “Impressive!”

Wharton Business School is the world’s top business school. It belongs to the University of Pennsylvania. It has a history of over 100 years and has trained numerous business elites and economists.

Entering Wharton Business School is also very difficult, Lu Chen’s sister Lu Xi once yearned for this famous school, but the realistic choice is still Beijing University or Tsinghua University or other domestic university.

Not only is Su Xuan very beautiful but her studies are also very excellent, that Lu Chen couldn’t help but admire her.

Su Xuan smiled and said, “Thank you. If you have an opportunity to come to Philadelphia in the future, be sure to find me for tea.”

Lu Chen said with a wry smile, “I don’t even have your contact information.”

Lu Chen did not pursue her, because he and Su Xuan are undoubtedly people from two different worlds.

And since they were having a good chat right now, he just mentioned it.

Su Xuan was generous and told her QQ number to Lu Chen: “Private number, please don’t pa.s.s it on!”

Lu Chen saved it on his cell phone.

Su Xuan stood up and said, “it’s my turn to go on stage. Goodbye, Lu Chen.”

Lu Chen also stood up and said, “Goodbye, Su Xuan.”

He knew that they might not have much chance of seeing each other again, and there was a slight regret in his heart.

Such a girl with a good heart, even if they can’t become a couple, being her friend is also a great fortune.

Watching the other’s figure disappear in the backstage, Lu Chen had just sat down and as his b.u.t.t just touched the bench, his cla.s.s leader Cao Xiuzhu panted over and met her complains.

“Lu Chen, why are you hiding here? Making it hard for me to find you!”

Lu Chen was surprised: “What’s wrong?”

Cao Xiuzhu said, “Your performance was pushed ahead of schedule. The two programs in front of you need time to prepare, so you are scheduled to appear after the next program is over!”

Lu Chen: “I feel dizzy!”

The parties in the university are very random, and large-scale programs are pre-rehea.r.s.ed and scheduled, but in case of unexpected situations, a single program like his can be pushed forward.

“Don’t faint, or I’ll also faint!”

Cao Xiuzhu anxiously got angry, “Hurry up and get ready. Do you want me to help you put on makeup?”

“No need!”

Lu Chen hurriedly said, “Please help me send this to any of the program directors first, and wait until I perform on stage.”

He took out a USB disk from his pocket and handed it to Cao Xiuzhu.

As early as last month, Cao Xiuzhu called Lu Chen and told Lu Chen to perform at the party, so he made a song MV early to match his own singing.

“No problem!”

Cao Xiuzhu took the USB disk and rushed to the studio.

Lu Chen took a breath. He turned around and looked at himself in the mirror of the dressing table.

Come on!
