Cancelled show.
The principal and professors rushed to the scene, faces filled with concern.
unknown
Principal : (rushing to Kai's side) "Young Master, what happened?"
Kai
(face stern, eyes blazing) "I want them suspended. Now."
The professors nodded in agreement, quickly escorting the bullies away.
Kai
"Students are being bullied, what's going on? Are you letting just anyone get admitted?"
Kai
"This college belongs to my family. I won't tolerate any incompetence. Fix this, now."
unknown
Principal: ( bowing deeply) "Yes, Young Master. It will be done immediately."
Rui
(putting a hand on Ming's shoulder), "Are you okay, Ming? Let's go to the infirmary."
Ming
(Trying to walk, but losing strength, still shaking)
zhi
(Quickly stepping in, lifting Ming in his arms) "Let me help."
Kai
(Followed beside Zhi).
Rui
(Following closely behind, eyes fixed on Ming's pale face)
The group walked toward the infirmary in silence.
That evening at Eclipse bar, as Zhi and Kai entered, a commotion was brewing.
unknown
Bartender: (wiping down the counter) "Phoenix fell ill. The show's been cancelled."
unknown
Angry Patron: (slamming fist on counter) "This is ridiculous! How can you cancel it."
unknown
Bar Manage : "We'll provide full refunds, of course. But please, let's keep the peace."
unknown
Security Guard: (stepping in) "Alright, alright. Let's calm down. We'll get the refunds processed."
zhi
(Entering Bruno's office with Kai) "What's up, man? What's the commotion about?"
Bruno (Bar owner)
Bruno: (sitting behind his desk, rubbing his temples)"Phoenix is canceling the show. He's claiming to be sick."
Kai stood silently, his expression unreadable. But inwardly, he wondered why Phoenix had cancelled the show?
Bruno (Bar owner)
"This is the first time Phoenix has canceled a show... Maybe he's really sick. He did promise an extra performance this month..."
zhi
"I was really looking forward to the performance."
Bruno (Bar owner)
"We have arranged for some other artists. You can still enjoy the performance today."
zhi
"Ok, then we'll catch Phoenix next time."
As Zhi and Kai sat at the counter, Kai's gaze drifted toward the dancer on stage.
But his mind didn't stay on her for long. A glimpse of his movement was all it took for his thoughts to drift back to Phoenix's performance...
The way he moved, his fluidity, his unbridled passion... Kai's eyes glazed over, lost in the memory.
