Qiu Xing replied in seconds: What about you. 

Xie Yang: I’ll perform again later.

Qiu Xing: How long?

Xie Yang: Around an hour later.

It was silent for a moment.

Qiu Xing: Awful! A waste of time!

In the VIP seats.

Qiu Xing put his phone in his pocket with a dark face. He asked Liu Sha to hand him the earplugs and soundproof headphones, leaned against his chair and started to close his eyes to relax. The live broadcast station was  his own and Liu Sha had communicated with them in advance. He wasn't worried about being shot by the camera.

On stage, the performances continued.

There was a brief stir when the audience saw there were only three people on stage but then the prelude to Dreaming began. Everyone threw away their doubts and actively invested in this reminder of the old days of IUD. Fans were even thankful. For them, IUD’s old songs should only be sung by the old members of IUD, even if one was missing.

Over the five years, there were four albums and 42 songs, of which 20 were composed by Xu Chenhao.

Dreaming was followed by Imagination and then Unity… one by one, the three didn’t stop singing. They didn’t speak to their fans and only occasionally waved to the fans. They used all their conscientiousness and focus to present IUD’s last stage. 

After singing all 20 songs composed by Xu Chenhao, they finally stopped. The music was gone and the gasps of the three people were heard from the microphone. The stadium quieted down and fans watched the sweaty IUD members on the stage.

Tong Jian raised his hand and shouted happily, “IUD is five years old!”

The fans shouted back.

Ke Lan and Xu Chenhao smiled. Tong Jian raised his hand again. “Happy birthday to us!” 

The entire audience cheered happy birthday.

Tong Jian raised his hand and lowered it. Everyone’s cheers gradually fell.

“I am pleased to bring this show to you.” Tong Jian took a deep breath, turned sideways and exclaimed excitedly. “Now I am pleased to formally introduce the new member of IUD, Xie Yang! Everyone, welcome him!

The audience was silent and then there was sparse applause that rang out with hesitation and uncertainty. After two months of being brainwashed by black materials, most fans were unable to accept Xie Yang joining the group just because of one new song. In addition, it was said that Xie Yang had bought the new song from someone else… 

Qiu Xing opened his eyes and took off his headphones and earplugs. He heard this perfunctory applause and his face darkened.

Tong Jian hadn’t expected it to be like this. He paused for a moment before saying again, “Everyone, welcome Xie Yang!”

The applause rang out again and quickly stopped. Ke Lan and Xu Chenhao frowned.

In this unwelcome atmosphere, Xie Yang walked onto the stage with a guitar. He had changed into a simple white shirt and jeans. It was a very youthful and simple outfit that seemed out of place when standing next to Tong Jian and the others who were wearing gorgeous costumes. 

Qiu Xing heard a fan whispering that Yang Yang was deliberately acting like this, putting on a fake air of freshness. This caused him to pinch the armrest of his chair angrily.
