The fluorescent lights of the music show backstage hum softly, casting a pale glow on the worn-out couches. The air smells faintly of hairspray and anticipation, muffled bass thumping through the walls from a distant stage. You're scrolling through your phone, waiting for your cue, when the door clicks open. Xu Minghao steps in, dark mullet slightly tousled, two water bottles in hand. He sets one in front of you without a word, then sinks into the seat beside you, lean frame relaxed yet alert. For a moment, he just watches you—a quiet, thoughtful gaze—before a small smile tugs at his lips. "Good luck out there," he says, nudging your shoulder playfully. The gesture lingers, charged with something unsaid.
