[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 158 - 157: Waves

Chapter 157: Waves

After the brief interruption, the shooting continued again after Bai Yue finished talking with Qian Jin.

This was supposed to be just a casual walk towards the stage again but when he passed by, some staff who knew what’s going on outside couldn’t help but whisper which was heard by the trainees especially the nearbys and to some who have high physical attributes.

"Why is he still here? Director Qian didn’t call the police to arrest that murderer?"

"!!!" The people who heard it were stunned by the words. Police? Murderer?!

"I heard he requested to hold a live confession later."

"What?! He’ll confess? And even in a live broadcast?! Is he nuts?!"

"I also think he’s crazy. He’ll just create another mess for the competition later. He’s really selfish. This would clearly affect the show negatively! What if the trainees will be implicated, especially to those trainees whom he had been close with?!"

"That’s what I’m worrying about. For sure the black fans will attack them too."

"Ugh! I hate this! And he will even ruin their group’s performance for such stain. Han Suwen and others’ hard work might just go in vain."

"Can’t he just leave here directly?"

"I think the Director wanted to announce the news after the show. It might affect the trainees’ mood."

The staff exhales a loud and frustrating sigh. "This is so annoying!"

And it’s not just these conversations but also the staff around were looking at Bai Yue with disgust, a complete contrast to their attitude on him in the past. They backed away and feared the young man they once liked and totally felt regrets in falling for his schemes for such a long period.

All the people who were unaware looked confused but at the same time they also subconsciously stayed away from Bai Yue after noticing the different atmosphere.

Even Chi Ling stayed at his group but looked towards Bai Yue in worry.

What surprised them was the only person that stayed was Qin An, the trainee whom Bai Yue targeted in the first place.

He just stood beside the young man with a casual expression on his face, very indifferent to what others thought.

Bai Yue looked at everyone and couldn’t help but look at Qin An with worry. He knew that from the moment Bai Ling’s dirty secrets were unveiled, the attitude towards the people around him would drastically change.

He already prepared himself for the worst actually.

But seeing their faces turn into that familiar disgust that he often saw on his mother’s face, his heart broke. Even though he knew that it was not his fault and those stares were for the real Bai Ling, he couldn’t help but feel bad.

During the short time he spent with them, it was the first time he felt he was cared for. They were gentle and would always take care of him even for such small actions such as fetching him water or wiping his sweat. Even giving him a sweet smile was enough for his heart to feel the joy that he had always longed for.

Those times were the first time he felt he was accepted and loved even with the body of the person he hated the most.

Bai Yue even had the temptation to stay this way.

It was the deepest desire inside his heart that he thought about completely possessing Bai Ling’s body to live like this life. He never wanted to feel alone again.

He just wants to be like others.

But he knew he couldn’t.

Qin An already explained to him about the effects if this possession will take this mind further. Bai Ling’s body will eventually die because he will not be truly accepted to anyone’s body because he’s already dead.

And if he did that, how can he have the justice that he wants? How can he still continue to face and accept everyone’s love when he was not the real Bai Ling? He’s not him.

He doesn’t want to deceive anyone and himself anymore.

Thus, Bai Yue will end this tonight.

It’s time to let them pay.

Meanwhile, Han Suwen’s group officially started after the moment of interruption.

The team went on stage and the whole venue started changing.

The whole stage became water and the background changed to a wide ocean that they cannot even see the end of a glimpse of an island. Everyone seems to be in the middle of the large ocean where they can only see the endless water and the waves on it.

Han Suwen’s group is wearing an ancient Hanfu style.

It was actually a bit surprising to see someone using the heritage clothes from their ancestors and albeit it was just some inspired ones, the long robe and the embroidery looks very stunning.

All of them have a mix of colors of blue and white with different styles. And as usual, what immediately caught everyone’s attention was the two top visuals in this competition.

Han Suwen and Qin An.

Their Captain— Han Suwen wears mostly blue with some white gradient to make his clothes a bit dreamy. He has long straight hair that falls perfectly and smoothly on his back with of course tied in a queue or a long ponytail hairstyle perhaps. He stood at the center of the group and felt like a fairy that descended from Earth. His peach blossom eyes show nostalgia and a bit of longing which was very different to who he really is in real life.

Even when Han Suwen slowly opened up himself afterwards, he was still too silent, very different from the fox-like temperament on stage. After Bai Yue lays low on being the lead, he gradually starts talking and sometimes leads them as the leader.

This also gave subtle changes between the group as they became more close and had patience to unite as a team.

"Amidst this endless ocean,

I couldn’t count how long I’ve been waiting..."

Han Suwen began the performance officially.

"To the days my eyes stayed in you

But even such a glance I never had from you... it’s aching me,"

Waves is definitely the theme that is a bit different from the message of the song among others. It was unlikely about themselves but more on putting them on the shoes wherein they themselves haven’t felt. Therefore, it was more complicated that many feared to take risks and join.

It tells the story of a person who had been waiting for someone’s response to their love only to receive nothing— not even an apology.

A hopeless unrequited love that will never be responded to.

"I gave the warmth yet it’s cold

Because you never send any love for me..."

As soon as these lyrics were uttered, the formation changed and it suddenly changed into something different from the choreography that had been sent to them in the first place.

Han Suwen and Qin An went close and faced each other. Han Suwen slowly raised his hand and felt the air as if he was touching Qin An t did not.

He also clenched his hands because he couldn’t hold the person they loved tightly in their arms.

"Maybe I only realizes I shouldn’t care—

I shouldn’t let my feelings fall apart..." Qin An sang these lines as he also stretched his hand towards Han Suwen but didn’t touch him personally.

If these actions and type of concept can make the crowd gasp in surprise, what happened next made them gasped in excitement.

Because Han Suwen slid himself behind Qin An and slowly moved his head closer to the young man.

As their body went closer and showed an intimacy that they had never witnessed before, they felt shocked and awed. They knew Qin An was not much willing to have such a close contact even if he didn’t say it.

Yet now, Han Suwen will obviously step inside his personal bubble.

"My love was like the waves in this endless sea

It seems forever ’cause how can it even end?"

Qin An, who wears mostly white with the blue gradient still looks cold and approachable.

Earlier in the dressing room, the trainees were actually a bit hesitant to come closer to him, and when this happened, they felt even more of his coolness that adds a kind of mystery that they couldn’t see from any trainees in this competition.

They didn’t know why but seeing Qin An moves with smooth yet steady as if he was too used to wearing robes. He never felt awkward and knew clearly how to pose with the etiquette.

It was a strange feeling but they thought he was more suitable in this type of clothes rather than seeing him with his usual attire.

"But just let the longing reveals

Until it withers and no longer binds me..." Qin An softly sounded.

"Wow!" Some trainees gasp in shock when they hear his voice. Again! Qin An is showing a new side of him again!

The longing was never the expression that Han Suwen’s team is confident about actually. It feels too unreal especially that it was the two who sang on the stage and acted close and paired together.

As they watched their performance, they really felt that this group would be such a kick, especially with the two top visuals doing things like this.
