Ch43 - Eyes

Li Zhao actually knew the middle-aged man who lost his temper. In the past, the streets were plastered with his posters and countless women were crazy about him. The media even called him a peerless god.

However, beauty would eventually grow old. The once-popular Shen Kang gradually faded over the years. In recent years, he could only play the role of the father of the male or female lead in major idol drams. Whenever nostalgically edited videos came out, netizens would always sigh emotionally, ‘Shen Kang was so beautiful. Time turned a beautiful man into a middle-aged uncle.’ 

“Hello Teacher Shen.” Li Zhao saw the scolded dancers were about to cry and opened his mouth to greet this person.

Shen Kang hadn’t expected anyone to come to this small corner of the backstage. He turned to look at Li Zhao and squeezed out an unnatural smile.

Once Shen Kang turned around, Li Zhao found that his costume had a large milk tea stain on it, sticking to his body and looking a bit sloppy.

“Hello.” Shen Kang remembered his words just now and was afraid Li Zhao would misunderstand. He hastily explained, “These two little girls poured milk tea on me and the staff said that there is only one set of costumes. I can only cancel my show and was a bit anxious. I let you see something funny.” 

Li Zhao was somewhat uncomfortable to have a senior speak so politely to him. He exchanged a few polite words with Shen Kang and the atmosphere eased.

As a child, he really liked watching Shen Kang’s Divine Sword Hero. He often argued with his friends in the welfare home about who was the true swordsman. Shen Kang’s current appearance was far from the romantic hero in Divine Sword Hero, even with his flattering smile.

Once the two dancers left, Li Zhao took the initiative to shake hands with Shen Kang. “As a child, I really liked your Divine Sword Hero. After the performance, please give me a signature.”

Shen Kang was somewhat flattered and bowed slightly. “It was many years ago and I didn’t expect a young person like you to have seen it as a child.”

“Classics are always classics. They won’t go out of date for a long time.”

“Teacher Li.” The staff of Green Pepper Video saw Li Zhao and politely greeted him. Then the staff glanced at Li Zhao and Shen Kang shaking hands. “Teacher Shen is also here.”

“Teacher Shen’s costume accidentally had some milk tea poured on it. I came over to see.”

“It is just a small thing.” The staff member spoke enthusiastically. “Teacher Shen, please come with me. There is a spare performance outfit here.” 

This polite attitude was completely different from before.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Li Zhao thanked the staff member and turned to bow at Shen Kang. “Teacher Shen, I will see you later. Don’t forget my signature.”

Shen Kang saw that Li Zhao was helping him and his eyes became slightly hot. “I won’t forget, I definitely won’t forget.”

“Teacher Shen, please go this way.” The staff member took Shen Kang to the dressing room and spoke to another staff member. “Can I trouble you to change Teacher Shen into the appropriate performance clothes? Teacher Shen’s program is relatively early so you need to hurry up.”
