After spending some time interacting with her fans, Iris Long and Jin Liwei's group finally left the MusicFest Tonight studio amidst the loud cheers of the crowd.
Since they had just finished the debut live performance of Iris' comeback single, "I, the Dreamer", Jin Liwei decided to treat everyone to a late-night celebratory dinner.
Iris sighed as she snuggled with her husband in the backseat of her executive van. Dom sat in the second passenger seat while scrolling on his phone. Iris' glam team and other entourage members rode in another vehicle.
Enriqe Valdez left with JJ. The musicians also rode together.
They all made their way to a private, traditional restaurant that Jin Liwei booked for the night.
Inside the executive van, Iris rested her body on her husband while calling the nannies at home to check on the children.
The nannies showed the sleeping twins, cats, and dogs in the master bedroom to Iris and Jin Liwei via video call.
"We'll eat dinner and will be back soon," Iris whispered. "Take a rest in our room for now. Thanks for the hard work."
"Leave the kids to us, Madam, Sir," one of the nannies replied. "Please have fun and stay safe."
"Congratulations on your live performance, Madam," the other nanny chimed in. "We watched it with Madam Huang and everyone else after eating dinner. You were so awesome, Madam! Little Master Mochi was so excited whenever he saw the sneak-peek commercial for tonight's episode before the live broadcast. He kept pointing at the TV and yelling 'Mama, mama' and clapping his hands. If the show hadn't aired so late, I bet the little master would have loved to watch his mommy's performance. Unfortunately, he couldn't keep his eyes open when it was bedtime."
Iris chuckled. Jin Liwei also couldn't help but smile.
"As expected of our cutie patootie, Little Mochi!" Dom exclaimed from in front of them. "He loves watching his mommy perform!"
"How was Little Matcha?" Iris asked next.
"Little Master Matcha also smiled whenever he saw Madam in the speak-peek commercial," the other nanny said. "He slept as soon as I put him on the crib bed. He hasn't moved since then."
The nannies once again showed the sleeping twins via video call.
Little Matcha slept deeply as always.
On the other hand, Little Mochi had already kicked his blanket away. Both his hands were raised above his head while his little feet were spread wide.
The sleeping Ice Cream stayed far away from Little Mochi because she knew that Little Mochi had the worst sleeping habits among them. If she weren't careful, Little Mochi might kick her in his sleep.
Unlike her, Popcorn didn't care much. The orange cat snuggled with Little Mochi and would adjust his position whenever Little Mochi rolled in bed.
One of the nannies carefully corrected Little Mochi's position, making sure to move slowly so as not to wake up the little hellion.
Pudding, Little Mochi's German Shepherd guard dog, opened his eyes and looked at the nanny. Maybe he was warning her not to dare wake up his little master.
Everyone released big sighs of relief when Little Mochi continued sleeping.
Iris' eyes softened as she watched her sleeping babies.
"Go take a rest," she told the nannies.
"Okay, Madam."
"Please keep safe on the road, Madam, Sir."
After the call ended, Iris hugged her husband. His scent relaxed her, gradually calming down the adrenaline rush she got from her live performance earlier.
Jin Liwei kissed her forehead before rummaging for a fluffy blanket from seat storage and covering his wife with it to keep her extra warm.
"Tired?" he asked in a low voice.
She shook her head. "One song won't tire me out."
He chuckled. "I know that you love the stage."
She smiled.
Indeed, for her, performing on stage wasn't as tiring as composing music, recording in the studio, or filming videos. Although she loved every little process about making music, she couldn't deny that performing on stage in front of a live crowd was her lifeblood. It was her element that she couldn't live without.
Then she remembered something. "Oh, right. I almost forgot. Ketchup."
"The cute and mighty Ketchup is here, Mommy! Meow~" a childish voice answered her immediately.
"Can you gather more information about the newly debuted boyband who performed earlier?"
"Aye aye, Mommy! The cute and mighty Ketchup is on it! Meow~"
While waiting, Iris continued to relax in her husband's arms.
