Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star

Merry Christmas!

After Tang Tu finished his sixth piece, it was time for his duet with Shen Mozhen. The duo walked onto the stage together as the staff quickly carried the Guzheng onstage and put everything together.

The viewers on the internet live-stream were all surprised. The outsiders didn’t know who the three guests Tang Tu invited were, for Tang Tu had made it very mysterious. Unexpectedly, just the first guest on stage was astonishing.

“They are performing together after they broke up??”

“Are they getting back together?”

“I don’t think so. Their expressions look so official. They don’t look like a couple.”

“They are probably just partnering up as performers.”

The title, “Canon”, appeared on the huge screen and live-stream screen.

The girl who sat in front of the Guzheng showed the audience a smile. She, who had always been so dignified, had a rare naughtiness on her face at this moment.

She successfully made everyone curious. They wanted to see how Shen Mozhen would play “Canon” with the Guzheng.

Shen Mozhen paused slightly, then the prelude to “Canon” flew out from under her fingers. This melody was as vivid and interesting as her smile, but it still seemed ancient-styled.

Soon, Tang Tu’s violin playing followed up. Shen Mozhen’s Guzheng playing turned into accompaniment, and the violin’s bright and melodious notes filled everyone’s ears.

Tang Tu, on the stage, seemed very different from his usual self. He seemed graceful and calm, his expression as clean as the melody he was playing at the moment.

To be honest, Tang Tu, who completely immersed himself in the music, was very attractive.

Everyone in the live-stream instantly turned into Tang Tu’s fangirls.

“My God, he is exploding with the handsomeness!”

“Bro is too handsome!”

“Tutu is too handsome. I love him!”

“He has the temperament of a noble prince.”

“He seems to glow when he plays the violin!”

“A naturally born artist.”

“Who won’t fall for such a boy?”

“Shen Mozhen isn’t falling for him!”

“If she isn’t falling for him, why are they performing together?”

“She’s supporting him as a friend. At the start of the piece, the two of them had eye contact, and the videographer even gave that a closeup. I saw that their eyes were both calm, and no emotional wave can be seen. They are probably just partners.”

“Maybe after they broke up, they have no love for each other left.”

“But they still have a tacit understanding of each other. This sounds pretty good.”

“Yeah. This is my first time listening to the Guzheng version of ‘Canon’. It sounds really interesting.”

All the audiences in the live-stream expressed their liking for Tang Tu and Shen Mozhen’s performance.

The song ended with very loud applause from the audience.

Tang Tu and Shen Mozhen walked to the front of the stage with huge smiles, and they each bowed. They didn’t have any physical contact at all.

After Shen Mozhen went off stage, Tang Tu said to the audience and the viewers in the live-stream as he stood on the stage, holding his violin,

“A few days ago, a rumor about me attracted lots of attention online. Everyone here must’ve heard about it, too.”

The audience didn’t understand why he would bring up his own “scandal” on such a formal occasion. Besides, this incident had already calmed down after the testimonies from witnesses since more than half a month had passed. Lots of people had forgotten about the details. Now, he was bringing it up himself. Did he want people to discuss it again?

However, Tang Tu continued to say, “I caused this entire incident and got two innocent girls related, causing them to get blemished by others. I’ve been feeling regretful and sorry, so I invited Mozhen as my first guest.”

When he got here, Tang Tu told Shen Mozhen, who was now below the stage, “Sorry.”

The live-streaming videographer immediately aimed the camera at Shen Mozhen. The netizens saw Shen Mozhen nod with a smile on, and her mouth seemed to be saying, “It’s all right.”

“The other girl received even more attacks and defamation. Today, here on this public occasion, I’m directly telling everyone that Liu Man had never once stepped into the relationship between Mozhen and me from start to end. The issue was with me when Mozhen and I broke up.”

No matter if they were the audience in the concert hall or the netizens in the live-stream, they all got stunned when they listened to these words.

Tang Tu was confessing in another way that he was the one whose heart changed and liked Liu Man, causing his breakup with Mozhen.

The reason why he chose to publicize the past was that Liu Man’s innocence would be proved if he did it. Even if he became hated by everyone, he didn’t think it’d mattered.

In the future, when the netizens talk about the Hanfu Goddess, they would never talk about this rumor again.

“He’s confessing that he’s a scumbag. 6666666.”

“Is Tang Tu ruining his public persona himself?”

“I think he’s doing good. Only if he stares at his mistake in the eye can he become a responsible man”

“After all, that chat history was real proof. He really confessed to Liu Man. You can never wash this spot clean, so directly admitting to it would be better.”

“Tang Tu is so brave. Isn’t he afraid of losing fans?”

…

The problem was, Tang Tu did not lose fans, and there were even more viewers in the live-stream than before, hearing about Tang Tu’s confession. The number of viewers increased to a unit of ten thousand.

Liu Man, who was waiting backstage, did not expect this speech of Tang Tu’s at all. She was initially already ready to go on stage, but now, she had no idea what to do, freezing on the spot.

“So, I invited Liu Man today as my second special guest in this performance.”

The audience had received too many surprises that they didn’t feel anything else even if they heard this.

This world was too magical. Not only did Tang Tu and Shen Mozhen remain as friends after the breakup, but they are also friends with Liu Man. This proved how artists’ minds and states were!

We could never become like them! Never!

“Now she’s a guest that surprises me.”

“I’m not impressed by anyone but Tang Tu. He invited his new and old lovers all onto the stage.”

“Your wording is incorrect. Liu Man’s not Tang Tu’s new lover, and Shen Mozhen’s not his old lover either. I don’t think he has ever truly loved Shen Mozhen.”

“I agree. They’ve known each other for four years. That’s enough time for a baby to grow up to witness their parents’ love for each other, but they are still just friends.”

At this time, the title of Tang Tu and Liu Man’s piece together, “Sound of the Wind” appeared on the screen, interrupting the netizens’ discussion.

“What song is this? It has such an unfamiliar name.”

“Oh, oh, oh. I remember, now. Do you guys remember Ye Zian’s Wei Bo post of Tang Tu and Liu Man’s piano duet, the video he used to advertise the movie? They were playing this song.”

“So it’s the movie’s theme song.”

“I understand Tang Tu’s intention. He invited Liu Man clearly to advertise their new movie!”

“Which means no matter how true your emotions are, you always will step back for mutual benefits.”

“So? This is a story cooked up to make us believe it!”

…

The Guzheng on the stage had already been taken off, and the grand piano was moved to the left side of the stage by staff members. Under everyone’s flaring watch, Liu Man walked on stage, bowed at the audience, and sat down in front of the piano.
