In the chaos, a man in black clothes and black trousers appeared out of nowhere, hugged Shen Jianian tightly, protected her in his arms, and used his back to support the falling spotlight.
There was a muffled "bang" sound, which was the sound of the lighting hitting the solid back.
The man endured the pain, but still let out a groan.
Shen Jia Nian suddenly froze, and then his body couldn't stop trembling. This voice...
Before she could think about it, there was another "bang", the lighting lamp fell to the ground, and the sound of broken lamps followed.
The whole world went silent. Shen Jia Nian heard his violent heartbeat and the suppressed breathing above his head. An indescribable feeling of familiarity swept through his heart.
After a few seconds, someone reacted and started asking questions.
"Teacher Shen, are you okay?"
"The leg wasn't hit by the shrapnel, was it?"
There was an apology voice mixed in: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Teacher Shen, it's all my fault. I was walking backwards and didn't pay attention."
"And me." Another man said.
The two men were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their faces. They had just worked together to move a piano and accidentally knocked over the lighting lamp, almost injuring Shen Jia Nian.
The show is about to start, and everything is ready. If something happens to Shen Jiannian at this time, they can't be held responsible even if they have ten heads.
The man holding Shen Jia Nian's body slowly let go of his arms, without saying a word, and quietly retreated while everyone gathered around to care about her.
The voices of those people talking reached Shen Jianian's ears and turned into a chaotic buzzing sound.
When she remembered something, she looked towards the exit of the backstage and could only see half of the man's profile. He was wearing a black baseball cap and a black mask. His back was straight and his steps were hurried, and his appearance could not be clearly seen.
His body is slender and lean, and his walking posture is very similar to that of a human being.
"Teacher Shen, are you injured anywhere?" The little girl who had previously warned Shen Jianian to be careful came up and asked.
Shen Jianian's eyes withdrew and fell on the worried face of the little girl. He reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips: "I'm fine. By the way, do you know the person who saved me just now?"
The little girl's attention was all on Shen Jianian and she didn't pay attention to anyone else. She only remembered that the man was dressed in black and his face was not exposed. She shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Shen Jia Nian refused to give up and asked other people.
Everyone present felt that she might want to express gratitude to the man, but when they recalled it, they had no impression of the man at all, and they didn't know what kind of work he was responsible for.
"The program team hired a group of temporary workers, probably doing odd jobs." Someone speculated.
Shen Jia Nian didn't know if the person would only show up today or if he would come for the rehearsal later. However, even if the person came and changed his clothes, she probably wouldn't be able to recognize him.
"Teacher Shen, we will help you ask later." The little girl saw that she was very concerned about this matter and said with relief.
Shen Jianian nodded. She was so frightened just now that her mind was still confused. She took off the windbreaker from the hanger and put it on, and sat on the lounge chair in the corner to relax.
The little girl took more than half a cup of warm water in a paper cup and brought it over: "Drink some hot water to calm down the shock."
"Thanks."
Shen Jianian held the water glass and was a little dazed as he recalled the thrilling scene just now.
After drinking a glass of hot water, Shen Jianian threw the disposable paper cup into the trash can, confirmed with Director Liao that he had nothing to do next, and left the backstage with the cello on his back and exited the Grand Theater.
The driver drove the car to the exit. Shen Jianian got in the car and took out his mobile phone. He didn't know who to talk to for a moment. He bit the tip of his index finger with his teeth and turned to Bai Changxia's profile picture.
After careful consideration, I edited a message and sent it to her.
On the screen was what she had just typed: "I met a boy today, he looks like Pei Che."
A few minutes later, Bai Changxia replied: "No, you must have read it wrong."
After Shen Jianian finished sending the message, she lowered her head, holding the phone between her forehead and heart with both hands, trying to piece together the details that could not be ignored. Every frame was so clearly engraved in her mind.
The phone was vibrating. Shen Jianian saw the content of Bai Changxia's reply. It was difficult for her to describe the feeling.
"I didn't see that person's face, but his height, body contours, including his walking posture, are very similar to Pei Che. Is there such a coincidence in the world?"
Not only that, but also the feeling of him holding her, the smell of his body, and the sound of the short muffled groan, all had a familiar feeling of déjà vu.
Bai Changxia sent several messages to comfort her.
"There are many coincidences in the world."
"From time to time, entertainment news breaks out about amateurs who look exactly like a certain celebrity, for everyone to talk and laugh about. If you think about it, two unrelated people have highly similar appearances, so it is not surprising that other physical characteristics are similar. .”
"The most important thing is that you didn't even see that person's face."
"Pei Che drove a car on such a steep mountain and fell from a cliff into the sea. The car was deformed by the impact. Even if his body was not found, the relevant agencies proved that there was no possibility of his survival. Jianian, are you still treating him? Are you still worried about his death?"
After Shen Jia Nian read the message she sent word for word, he began to have self-doubt. Could it be her illusion?
Bai Changxia didn't want her to fall into bad memories, so he changed the subject in time: "What are you busy with recently?"
Shen Jia Nian changed his mood and told her the news about participating in "Shining Starlight". He originally thought that he would tell her after getting the tickets in a few days, but it seemed the same now.
Bai Changxia excitedly played a voice: "It's true! Great! I can finally see you shining on the stage again! "Shining Starlight", as soon as I heard the name, it suits you very well!"
She was sincerely happy for Jianian. It was not easy to get over that painful experience.
Listening to her voice, Shen Jia Nian was so excited and excited, but she couldn't help but burst into tears.
She raised her head and blinked, forcing back tears, pressing the voice button and said, "Don't forget to come to my show then."
Bai Changxia: "Definitely! I have to go even if the sky falls!"
The two laughed at the same time across the screen.

As a guest performer, Shen Jianian needs to rehearse twice in advance to confirm that every link is correct, so as to attract the audience's attention to the greatest extent.
The second time she came to the rehearsal, Shen Jianian didn't meet the boy who saved her. She specifically asked the on-site staff, who helped her inquire privately, and also went to the person responsible for registering temporary workers. She compared them one by one against the list, but still couldn't find it.
Shen Jia Nian felt that he might have thought too much, so he gave up the search.
Before the program was officially recorded, she received "relatives and friends tickets" from the program team. She gave the tickets to Fu Jichen, Teacher Yan and his mother, and Bai Changxia respectively.
On the night of the performance, Fu Jichen made time and drove over at six o'clock.
It was drizzling outside and the temperature dropped a few degrees.
The temperature in the concert hall is suitable and the subtle fragrance floats.
Fu Jichen came from the company, wearing expensive black business attire, shiny leather shoes, a low-key and luxurious watch on his wrist, a handsome and cold face, and a calm demeanor. After checking in and entering the hall, many spectators who arrived early cast curious glances and secretly exclaimed, who was this big shot?
The ticket Shen Jianian gave him was in the best viewing position in the front row, and the other tickets were in the same row and adjacent seats.
Not long after Fu Jichen sat down, Yan Qiusheng arrived with his mother.
Their eyes met and Fu Jichen nodded lightly. Yan Qiusheng was not surprised to see him and greeted him with a smile.
Yan's mother took the opportunity to take a look at Fu Jichen. The last time he brought Jia Nian to visit her home, she didn't know his identity at the time and didn't look carefully.
Is this the boyfriend of Jianian's child? His appearance and temperament are outstanding, not inferior to her son, but he seems to be very wealthy and difficult to get along with.
Such business people don't know if Jianian's simple temper can be tempered.
After getting along for a while, Yan's mother really liked Shen Jianian and hoped that she would find a good home.
"Mom, what are you looking at?" Yan Qiusheng lowered his head slightly and whispered in his mother's ear.
"nothing."
Yan's mother whispered back and took a seat next to her son.
Bai Changxia took a taxi from the hospital. There was traffic jam on the road on a rainy day, so he arrived a little late. Fortunately, it hadn't started yet. She sat in the empty seat on Fu Jichen's left hand with her bag in her arms, and nodded to him: "Mr. Fu."
Fu Jichen raised his eyes and smiled faintly.
Bai Changxia twisted his neck and looked behind him. The large auditorium was packed with people, and the seats were almost full. Director Liao's program is well-known by word of mouth, and naturally many people come to watch it live to grab tickets.
By the time the show airs, Jia Nian's fame should spread.
Bai Changxia withdrew his gaze and sat upright with his hands on his legs.
The moment she turned around, a person sat down in the aisle seat in the last row of the auditorium. He was dressed the same as that day, wearing black clothes, black pants, a black baseball cap and a mask, with only one pair of eyes exposed.
No, even the eyes are hidden in the shadow of the hat brim.
