The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 534 - 283: The Unfathomable Liu Tingruo_2
This looked good, but Jiang Shu absolutely detested it.

If it were solely for money, no magician could endure until the day they shone brightly.

It was a profession that entertained the public, yet it was also a career of self-sacrifice.

”So, first we need to clarify one thing,” Jiang Shu pointed out earnestly, ”I don’t know any magic, and everything I display on stage is scientific, so don’t ask me if it’s magic or not, I will not answer such disruptive questions.”

”Probably...” he thought, ”the remaining time of the program allows me to answer about six questions, I’ll draw three from the live audience and three from the live stream.”

”As for the rules...” Jiang Shu thought again, his gaze drifting towards two guests beside him, ”it will be up to these two here to draw the lucky audience members.”

Having said that, he then took out two containers filled with ping pong balls from under the table, ”The one on the left is row, the right is column, now I’ll have these two beside me draw to select the audience members for the Q&A segment.”

Subsequently, Li Yuntang and Su Xiaoou each drew a ping pong ball and handed them to Jiang Shu.

”Row three, seat nine.” Jiang Shu read the meaning of the numbers on the two ping pong balls, then looked towards the audience, ”Will the audience member in row three, seat nine, please stand up.”

”Could the staff please pass her a microphone,” he then said to the backstage staff on the side.

Soon, a microphone was handed to the girl in row three, seat nine, her leg nervously twitching and her voice containing an excited quiver, ”Um, Jiang Shu, I’ve liked you for a long time, I was at your first magic show, but I haven’t been able to get tickets to your theater magic shows after that...”

”Well, I’ll talk to the staff at Black Currant about expanding in the future,” Jiang Shu did not stop the girl from digressing but jokingly said instead.

”Ah, sorry, it seems I went off-topic, but I really really like Mr. Jiang Shu. I want to ask...” The girl seemed to have just realized it, she hesitated for a moment, then asked, ”I want to know what type of girls Mr. Jiang Shu likes?”

”Uh.” When the girl stood up, Jiang Shu had a

bad premonition, and when she spoke, it came true.

Indeed, the question was shifting towards a non-magic domain.

”Sorry, I already have a girl I like, so there is no point in such a question.” Jiang Shu also shook his head, he said it almost without thinking.

As a result...

Li Yuntang beside him showed a shocked expression, her mouth slightly open, seemingly unprepared for Jiang Shu to openly reveal his romantic relationship on the program.

Although Jiang Shu’s Theater Series from the Entertainment Series and her Screen Series were different, Jiang Shu was apparently transitioning to the Screen Series, or rather, he was blending the two together.

So, is it really okay to make this public?

He is still such a guy adored by thousands of female fans...

This was sure to cause a huge stir!

Li Yuntang’s heart sank suddenly, having been involved in the Entertainment Series for so long, she had heard many stories about hardcore fan-girls developing hatred due to their idol’s romantic relationships, and often they did not end well.

Not to mention, this sudden announcement was definitely going to affect Jiang Shu’s fan traffic.

However, when Li Yuntang looked at Jiang Shu, she noticed only calmness and determination on his face.

He wasn’t just casually ”leaking” the secret; it was the result of careful thought.

”If I really have to answer, I can only say that I don’t like her because of her type, but simply because I purely like her,” Jiang Shu smiled and continued, ”For certain reasons, I will not reveal her information, and you do not need to guess who she is. In this matter, I only need your best wishes, not your doubts.”

Finally, he concluded this topic as if putting a period at the end of a sentence, ”In summary, I hope you like me just for my magic, my character, my dignity, and nothing else, be it as an idol or otherwise, please let this adoration be pure.”

At this moment, there weren’t many sounds inside the studio, most of the audience were silent, but the background board was much livelier.

Countless ”blessings” barrages were flashing on the screen, a cheerful atmosphere prevailing, contrasting starkly with the situation in the studio.

Jiang Shu looked out to see that the audience consisted of eighty percent female viewers and clearly understood why.

Most who could spend money and resources to come to this show were his devoted female fans, and such a reaction after his announcement was quite normal.

But he still had to say it.

Since the first girl who drew a question asked this, he had to address it directly.

He would rather have ten thousand such female fans heartbroken than to have the possibility of Sister Ruo feeling unhappy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu looked again at the woman sitting in the central front row.

At that moment, Liu Tingruo was also looking at him.

From afar, Sister Ruo still carried that demeanor untainted by worldly concerns, standing proud among humans, but Jiang Shu noticed her gaze was gentle and fervent, as if it could melt a person.
