Yan Qianyi also tiptoed to peer down at the audience.
When she caught sight of that impressive figure, the chirping noises around her ears faded away.
The entire world fell silent, and she could only hear the "thump thump thump" of her own heartbeat.
The Lord Chief Commander, accompanied by two Deputy Officers, took his seat in the front row, closest to the stage.
Today, he wasn't wearing a military coat or a cape, and with a belt cinching his waist, his physique stood out even more.
Such a dashing figure, and to think she had once mistaken him for an old man.
The girls waiting backstage buzzed with excitement, each seeming to wish they could transform into giraffes with their heads practically stretching onto the stage.
Only Ning Nuan remained unflustered.
She curved her lips into a smile, her gaze upon Mu Yunlie filled with deep affection.
A few days ago, she had sought out Grandpa Nangong, asking him to persuade Brother Ah Lie to come watch her performance.
