"AiyoNotFat?"

"ImZhuiZhui?"

Outside the entrance for Shen Zhen's gymnasium next to a garbage can, two well known fickle netizens from his stream met for the first time. After confirming who they were, their expressions were stunned.

"You're a girl?!"

"You're a girl?!"

The two voices said unanimously.

After pausing for a long while, they both opened up their mouths to talk. "Why do I feel like you look kind of like me?"

The two leaned in without a word and took out their phones to take a selfie. The more they looked at the image, the more they felt they looked similar.

AiYoNotFat raised her head. "Were we sisters in our past life?"

ImZhuiZhui thought about it carefully. "I think I have to ask my mom!"

The two chuckled at that, their laughter even sounding eerily similar.

"Which, which year were you born?" AiyoNotFat asked.

"1996." ImZhuiZhui looked at AiYoNotFat's expression. "You too? I was born June 6th…"

AiyoNotFat's expression immediately perked up, so excited she could barely utter the words. "666!"

ImZhuiZhui was shocked as well. "You too?!"

They looked alike and shared the same birthday. This was the real-life version of a doppelganger!

AiyoNotFat smiled. "No, I was born on August 8th. I just think your birthday is too good!"

ImZhuiZhui paused for a moment and began to laugh as well. "You almost scared me there, how could there be such a coincidence?!"

Only, while the two were introducing themselves, the air became eerie again, as both were named Nana. Only, one's last name was Lin, and the other was Zhu Ge.

They both shouted out the name of the shojo manga. This manga was about two girls with the same name having their fates intertwined after they met.

It was once adapted into a TV series too, called "Me from Another World".

Their fates have indeed been intertwined, and it was because of Meng Fan. Because of Meng Fan's stream, they had communicated online, and met up by chance using the entrance ticket Meng Fan gave away on stream.

Meng Fan had requested two tickets from Bai Zhi, in case he couldn't perform on stage and get filmed. After confirming his performance, he gave the tickets away.

The process was simple too. He'd asked who in the stream were in the vicinity of Shen Zhen, then hosted two lotteries to draw. The winners just happened to be these two Nanas, AiYoNotFat and ImZhuiZhui.

Zhu Ge Nana, or AiyoNotFat called someone, and immediately one of Bai Zhi's staff members came out with the tickets. The two successfully entered the venue to their seats, which were very good as well.

After sitting down, they felt the awkwardness in the air as they remained silent for a moment. Then they both took out their phones and took a load of photos and videos for Weibo, WeChat, the netizens' chat room etc, and shared their strange meeting with the netizens as well as their real friends.

"Omg I didn't know AiyoNotBad and ImZhuiZhui are both girls, and beautiful ones as well! My eyes!"

"I've been trying to pick them up thinking they're girls this whole time…"

"What do I do, I'm turning straight!"

"They look so similar!"

"Was this planned by G.o.d?"

"It's terrifying if you think about it!"

"Meng Fatty's lottery draw must have been done by G.o.d!"

"It's already lucky enough to win the draw, but who knew they could also meet a doppelganger. I'm so envious!"

"I'm revealing my photo, is there a brother out there who looks like me? If so, show me now! No matter how far away, I'll fly over!"

"…Sorry, there's no one here who can match your appearance!"

"Hahahahaha Ruhua you're being naughty again!"

"My name is Ouyang Zhao, is there anyone here with the same name?"

"Go find a shaman to perform the ritual for you!"

The netizen's chat room was livid. The 11/11 gala also began to liven up as more and more people entered the gymnasium.

The tickets for the 11/11 gala were not for sale; you could only receive them from these draws. There weren't many tickets either, since the gymnasium only fit 11,000 people. It was estimated that less than half the seats were for public use, since they were reserved for media personnel, video platforms and their representatives. These commercial companies took up a majority of the seats.

This year's 11/11 gala was going to be streamed on all three main satellite TV channels, which was quite a feat. The stream began at 7:40 pm.

By 7:00, the venue had filled up, and the directing crew had begun several preparations. As for the live audience, well of course they were all taking selfies, photos for their WeChat moments and Weibo.

At 7:40, the stream began. The audience as well as the TV viewers, and the online users officially saw what the stage looked like.

After a montage of short videos describing the celebrities and some commercials, the performance started with a very creative opening. The hosts appeared on the stage, next to two celebrity hosts, all three of them; the top pick from their respective channels.

Recalling upon the future of the exhibition, the first performance was a female singer from England who had stirred up attention in the last year in Huaxia. She had an incredible live presence, and was very explosive when performing live.

At around 9:00, two hosts brought up a group of celebrities to play an exhibition match with a soccer celebrity. Afterward, the host is known as the Tongue of China, and the evening's main host, Hua Shao, introduced the next performer. It was Su Qing Cen, performing one of her famous songs: "Fairy".

Su Qing Cen, wearing a green veil slowly rose onto the stage. Normal people couldn't pull off a full green veil, but Su Qing Cen really looked like a fairy in the outfit. She was so beautiful that people lost their breath as the audience quieted down. Everyone antic.i.p.ated the incredible performance that would follow.

There was no dance crew, as Su Qing Cen was the only person on stage.

She'd performed this song many times before, but it wasn't suitable for solo performance.

Where were her dancers?

Usually this song always had a h.o.a.rd of powerful dancers to express its explosiveness.

At this time, a beam of light shot towards the side of the stage where a guy sat next to a table.

"Huh?"

Appearing at this time meant it had something to do with the song. But he was so far away, how are they going to collaborate?

Of course, the viewers in front of the TV and on the stream could see the words depicted in the subt.i.tles.

Sand Art: Meng Fan.

They then understood this was sand art accompaniment to the performance.

Most people had seen the sand painting before, so they waited in antic.i.p.ation.

Out of these, a small number of them were very excited. Obviously, it was the fickle netizens who knew Meng Fan was attending this gala. Only, they didn't know Meng Fan could do sand art as well, thinking it was a duet. After all, Meng Fan's singing was very appealing.

The music sounded and the lights flickered.

"I remember those wonderful moments/like a fleeting phantom/I followed the sound/ and saw a dream-like fairy…"

Su Qing Cen's moving voice sounded, cueing Meng Fan, who was shrouded in light to begin his performance. The contents of his sand painting appeared on the rear projection, where a beautiful fairy appeared amid a blooming lotus flower.

It looked like the flower was really blooming in real-time. n.o.body had seen this kind of animated sand painting before, but they could see it with their naked eyes that the artist was using a particular technique to spread the sand to create this effect.

The fairy inside the flower was very beautiful, depicted with surprising detail.

"…Storms come and go/the demon wakes somewhere…"

At that moment, the stage Su Qing Cen was standing on suddenly lit up, and the projection of his sand art appeared at her feet. The two hands spreading the sand moved very quickly, and in no time, Su Qing Cen was shrouded in a forest. It was a forest ravaged by the wind, with its branches flying, and even Su Qing Cen herself was swept up!
