Chapter Text
"Do we really have to go?" Xie Lian asked worriedly yet again as he looked at Shi who was fussingly busy shoving the poster in her bag she carefully made for the show.
Shi qingxuan sighed and gave him a glare, putting her hands on her hips menacingly, though there was nothing menacing in her posture. "Please,you are so going with me and I won't hear no for an answer, do you understand?"
Xie lian just swallowed woefully and nodded.
Shi qingxuan beamed and shoved the flyer down again for good when a withering rip echoed around the room.
An awkward silence enveloped while Shi qingxuan and xie lian stared at each other.
"Is….your poster going to be okay?" Xie Lian asked hesitantly knowing how much time Shi Qingxuan spent making the poster, adoring the word 'HE XUAN' in glitters.
Shi qingxuan shrugged and swung her backpack on her shoulder. "Doesn't matter, we're going to be late for the show if we stall more.Now come on." she said and grabbed xie lian's as they exited the apartment.
—————————
Xie Lian let out a raspy breath as he tried to squeeze between the overbearing crowds that screamed for the show to commence.
He looked around and was impressed by the amount of people that came just to see a rockstar show, shi qingxuan included. Xie Lian found it childish,in his opinion but due to Shi qing xuan's pressing he grudgingly agreed to go.
The band's name was "The four Calamities". Just as the name suggested, the band consisted of four members.At first they were just a downtown band but in just about a few years they succeeded in capturing the hearts of thousands of people.
Xie Lian glanced at Shi Qingxuan whose eyes were leaning with excitement. She was clutching the ripped poster lightly while waiting patiently for the band to start.
"ISN'T THIS AMAZING?!", she screamed despite being so close to xie Lian.
Xie Lian smiled and nodded trying to show the same amount of enthusiasm Shi qingxuan was.
Suddenly the light darkened and a shrill thrumming sound of a guitar echoed around the place.
The whole crowd screamed loudly to make Xie Lian think if the place might collapse.
Every single person on of them was holding various light sticks of various colours but most of them were red.
Xie Lian himself held a red one though he did not know what or who it signified. Shi qingxuan was holding a glowing blue one.
The lights flickered blue, read, white and green. And then the buzz of an electric guitar echoed through the room.
The whole place was filled with screams. Xie Lian cringed and clapped his hands over his ears. How in the world was anyone going to listen to the song if they were screaming like that?!
Xie Lian regretted coming here so badly.

Well, maybe not by that much xie Lian regretted it. The songs were actually pretty good. They were songs that would make you hyped for no reason.
After the show ended, slowly people trickled out from the concert gate. The atmosphere was still palpable with excitement. People chattered and some to Xie Lian's surprise, were even crying.
"OH THAT WAS SO GOOD!! DID YOU HEAR THE WAY HE XUAN SANG!?AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON HIS LOOKS?! " Shi Qingxuan bellowed, still highly energetic from the concert, as they walked outside towards the their car in inside the parking lot.
Xie Lian chuckled and commented, "I suppose they were very entertaining."
Shi qingxuan opened his mouth to retort something to Xie lian when something caught her eye and she stopped, her eyes suddenly wide in shock.
Xie Lian followed her gaze and saw it was He Xuan and the lead singer in red, Hua Cheng was his name?
From his distance, he could see He Xuan's face contorted in a scowl and Hua Cheng teasingly saying something to him.
Around them were at least seven or eight bodyguards crowding. They were walking towards the fancy looking limo before the audience came to the parking lot.
"Oh.my.god. I have to get his autograph." Shi qingxuan breathed and continued to stare at he Xuan.
"I don't think that's a good idea." xie Lian said warily looking at the stoic huge bodyguards.
"You're right, it is a bad idea. that's why you're going to get it for me." Shi qingxuan said while already taking out a pen and a poster of He Xuan.
"What do you mean?" Xie lian laughing nervously and retracting back slowly. Maybe he could run now.
Shi qingxuan shoved the poster and pen to Xie lian and gave him a crazed look.
"Please,Xie. I'll pass out before I even get there. you know how much I love him. Do it for your bestie.Please."
Xie lian sighed. He knew in the end he would still go. He could never say no to Shi Qing Xuan.
He turned and walked towards the two rockstars praying that he doesn't do anything stupid.
Notes:

Anyways I'll try to make it bigger next time, y'all. 😔

Turns out he was stupid. Just Xie Lian's luck. The first thing he did when he approached the rockstars was just stand stupidly without saying anything.
For some reason his mouth did not work anymore. He couldn’t help but stare at hua cheng. When the concert started, the first thing that caught xie lian's attention was Hua cheng.
His very tall, ripped tattooed body. His eyepatch made xie lian question if he puts it for real or just for show. The way his body swayed against the music and his deep voice.
Xie Lian was entranced by Hua cheng and it made him uncomfortable to have such weird feelings.
And right now, he was also entranced as looked he looked at him more close. It made xie lian want to pass out.
Just as he was debating whether he should run, Hua Cheng came towards him.
Xie Lian, startled, backed up a few steps and felt his face becoming warm. This was really bad.
Hua Cheng was unbothered, with a vicious smile that might cut through stone and twinkling eyes filled with mirth.
"Want my autograph?" Hua Cheng offered politely before Xie lian could utter a word.
Xie Lian was surprised at the gentleness of his voice even though his looks said otherwise.
He shook his hand rapidly and showed him Xuan's poster, "uhm..can I have Xuan's autograph,please?"
Hua Cheng raised his eyebrow in amusement but continued smiling. He motioned for He Xuan to come.
He Xuan's scowl deepened but he obliged and snatched the poster, signing it.
"Thank you so much, my friend will really be happy." Xie Lian said and bowed his thanks.
"Sure, whatever." He xuan said and went inside the limo while muttering something about "food".
"Friend?" Hua Cheng asked, lingering close to xie lian.
Xie Lian blushed and nodded. "Ah, yes. My friend, Shi Qingxuan, is nervous to approach, that is why she sent me."
Hua Cheng tilted his head and grinned, "Don't you have any favourites?"
"Well, this is my first time coming to your concert. So I don't know yet." Xie said truthfully.
"Did you enjoy your first concert,then?" Hua Cheng asked slyly.
"Yes, it was amazing..” Xie lian whispered and smiled.Even the way he talked was lulling and deep.
“Are you into music?” Hua Cheng asked. Xie Lian shook his head and smiled, “I'm afraid I don't know anything about modern music,I guess you can say that I'm a bit old fashioned.”
Hua Cheng let out a laugh, “Oh, but the way you look tells me otherwise.”
Xie Lian immediately became flushed. Was this man flirting with him?!
Then Hua Cheng took out a piece of paper, “May I have the pen?”. Xie Lian was confused but obliged and gave it to him.
He scribbled something and handed it to him. “It seems you don't know a lot about music, how about we hang out and I'll show you how my guitar works?”,he said and winked.
After that, he just left giving a last wave to Xie Lian before he got into the car.
Poor Xie Lian,dumbfounded and with trembling fingers, saw that it was a phone number. Hua Cheng's phone number.
Xie Lian didn't have any words for it,so he went to Shi qingxuan and glumly handed her the autograph who was anxiously waiting for him.
“So..I think I got Hua Cheng’s phone number.”
For a moment Shi qingxuan just stared a him and…., “YOU WHAT?!”.
Notes:
This conversation between Hua Cheng and Xie Lian lives rent free in my head.
