Chapter 937: Main Text Ends

This was a night that made everyone excited.

Everyone was reluctant to leave.

When Chen Siqi and the others arrived backstage, Lu Yan He and the others were backstage, taking group photos with all the behind-the-scenes staff of this concert.

The atmosphere backstage was immersed in a feeling of "reluctance to disperse."

Many staff members said: "This is the best concert I have ever participated in."

Lu Yan He's gaze passed through the crowd and saw Chen Siqi and the others.

His eyes lit up, and he waved.

Chen Siqi came over.

"You guys moved everyone to tears tonight." she said with a smile.

Lu Yan He smiled, "Don't talk about them, I couldn't control myself either. Although I thought such a thing might happen, I still couldn't help it."

"Probably couldn't help it." Chen Siqi shook her head.

Lu Yan He said: "Wait for me a moment, we'll tidy up a bit here, and then we'll go over."

"Hmm." Chen Siqi nodded, "I just saw those people from *Young Days* have already set off."

"They should be going somewhere else first." Lu Yan He said, "They'll come to the backstage to meet us later."

"Okay." Chen Siqi nodded, "Then you guys get busy first, I'll go greet the Jump Up side, I arranged a dinner for them, I have to show my face."

"Hmm." Lu Yan He asked, "Then when I'm done here, should I come pick you up directly? Send me your location."

"Sure."

After Li Zhibai and Yan Liang removed their makeup, they found him and asked: "Leaving now?"

"You guys go first, Ziyan and Zou Dong are already there." Lu Yan He said, "I'll come over after I pick up Siqi."

"Sure." Li Zhibai nodded, "Your engagement ring is with Yan Liang, when you arrive, we'll find a chance to sneak it to you."

"Hmm, after we arrive, we'll go into the school and walk around first. After we go in, you guys hurry up and set things up outside." Lu Yan He said.

"Got it, don't worry." Li Zhibai said, "Everything is ready, ten minutes, I'll get it all done for you, you just need to keep Chen Siqi on campus for ten minutes."

"Hmm." Lu Yan He nodded, "I've already found external help, Liu Laoshi will be waiting for me at the school."

"Can do."

"Did you notify everyone else?"

"To prevent them from leaking, we only started notifying them now." Wang Biao whispered, "But because Linyu and Xu Zijun will go into the school with you, we haven't told them yet."

"OK." Lu Yan He nodded.

"Everyone is stunned."

"Especially Li Yuefeng." Yan Liang said, "Li Yuefeng, I just told him, he said he wants to beat you up."

Lu Yan He smiled until his eyes curved into crescents.

"Still have to thank him for helping me cover."

"Heh, the screen was completely filled tonight." Zhang Yuezhen sneered at Chen Pinhe, "Your good son completely ignored you, satirized you, do you see that?"

Chen Pinhe turned a deaf ear.

"I'm going to the UK to see Lulu tomorrow, you can go with me, or you can not go, it's up to you."

Zhang Yuezhen looked at Chen Pinhe silently for a long time, then smiled again.

"You're really something, Chen Pinhe, you're really something." Zhang Yuezhen nodded and pointed at him, "Ruthless enough."

Chen Pinhe looked at Zhang Yuezhen, expressionless, as if he didn't know what she was talking about at all.

Zhang Yuezhen: "Don't worry, no matter what, you are Lulu's father. For Lulu's sake, I won't let your ugly face be exposed."

Chen Pinhe said: "After saying so much, you still haven't answered me, are you going to the UK with me tomorrow to see Lulu."

Zhang Yuezhen looked at him coldly and said: "You go yourself."

After speaking, she went upstairs without looking back.

Zhang Yuezhen dialed a number, and after the other party answered, she asked: "Did you find them?"

"Already found them, Miss." The other party asked, "What should we do next?"

Zhang Yuezhen said: "Are there other people watching them by their side?"

"Yes, as long as they go out, someone follows them. It seems they are monitoring them, and they don't seem to be unaware of it."

"Then you watch there too. As for what to do next, let me think." Zhang Yuezhen said coldly.

"Okay." The other party responded, paused, and said again: "Miss, this is the United States, and they are Chinese. Taking action here... actually, there are many ways to do it without anyone knowing."

"Then do you have a way to do it without anyone knowing under the eyes of the people watching?" Zhang Yuezhen asked back.

The other party was stunned.

"Chen Pinhe already knows that I know what he did back then, and knows the true relationship between Lu Yan He and him. He will be on guard against me."

The other party was silent.

"You watch closely on one hand, and on the other hand, be careful not to be watched."

"Miss, don't worry."

"There are two groups of people watching them." The person on the phone reported to Chen Ziyan, "Both are Chinese, relatively easy to find. One group is on the surface, and one group is in the dark. The group on the surface doesn't seem to have discovered the group in the dark yet."

"You didn't show your face, did you?" Chen Ziyan asked.

"I've been staying in the monitoring car, the ones showing their faces are all hired here in the US, all fresh faces, won't arouse their suspicion."

"Good." Chen Ziyan said, "Dig out as much as possible, I want evidence that can convict the people behind them."

"Ziyan, this is quite difficult, to be honest, those in our line of work are generally very careful, not to the point of leaving evidence pointing to our employer."

"The group in the dark is different from the group on the surface, and also different from you." Chen Ziyan said, "In that group, there is a person who may have been instructed to almost kill someone in China, and even took action. Such a relationship is definitely not an ordinary cooperative relationship. If I ask you to kill someone, do you dare to take it?"

"Sister, don't joke with me, I still want to save enough money to find a quiet place to retire."

"Hmm, so you understand what I mean? That person has done a lot of dirty work, he won't let himself not hold onto some things. Moreover, as long as he wants to take action, there will definitely be traces left. Is he going to carry it himself? Murder charge? I don't believe anyone is that loyal in this day and age."

"I know, sister."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ziyan let out a breath.

The car had turned the corner.

She pulled over and walked towards the gate of No. 13 Middle School.

Lu Yan He and the others hadn't arrived yet.

Li Zhenzhen, the extra, was already in place at the scene.

The *Young Days* film crew also started to set up equipment and lights at the school gate.

Chen Ziyan said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work today."

"Temporarily grabbed to be a strong man." Although Li Zhenzhen looked very helpless, her eyes were very happy. Being able to witness such a scene, what else is there to say?

Chen Ziyan: "He thinks that bringing Siqi over under the pretext of recording *Young Days* won't make her suspicious, and it really is."

"Hmm." Li Zhenzhen said, "Except for me, no one else knows the real situation. After Yan He and the others enter the school, I will let everyone withdraw."

"Thank you all for your hard work." Chen Ziyan said, "By the way, thank you all for your hard work tonight, and it's such a happy event, I have prepared a small red envelope for everyone, it's in my car, I'll have someone bring it to you later, it's just trouble for you to help me give it to everyone."

Li Zhenzhen was not polite, nodded, "I won't be polite with you for this red envelope with joy, I'll say thank you for them."

"I should be the one thanking them on behalf of Yan He." Chen Ziyan said with a smile, "This child, he insists on creating some surprises and romance. I'm an old person, desensitized to these things, but it's his big event of a lifetime, this only happens once in this life, so I have to satisfy his wish and help him realize all this."

Li Zhenzhen: "So good."

At this time, Zou Dong came over.

"Wang Biao said they will arrive in ten minutes."

"Where are the others?"

"They are all on that bus." Zou Dong pointed to the bus parked diagonally across the road.

The curtains of that bus were drawn, and only a little light could be vaguely seen.

"When they are about to arrive, the car will turn off."

Chen Ziyan nodded.

Li Zhenzhen held her phone and said: "Now the top twenty on the Weibo trending list, fifteen are related to tonight's concert."

"Director Hou Jun posted on Weibo—" someone next to him suddenly said, "Wow—"

Chen Ziyan opened her phone and searched.

Hou Jun's Weibo was almost a small essay:

This concert, which cost tens of millions of yuan, has ended successfully. According to the wishes of Lu Yan He, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang, the cost of this concert will be borne by themselves, and all ticket and other income will be donated to children in mountainous areas, and the whereabouts of the funds will be publicized through relevant organizations later.

I asked why at the time, and the answer I got was because they hoped this would be a very pure concert. Actually, if it weren't for worrying about scalpers, their initial design was even to give away tickets for free. These three children, especially Lu Yan He, can almost be said to have been watched by me as they grew up. I am very honored to have directed tonight's concert for them, which includes their designs, their ideas, and some surprises prepared by our entire directing team for them. This is a concert to give back to all fans. During the entire preparation process, I could feel their sincerity and dedication. I believe I don't need to say much, everyone can feel it too.

12 new songs, accounting for nearly one-third of all songs performed at this concert, were all written and composed by Lu Yan He, and prepared by the three of them in the past two months. Not a single cover, all originals—they are not professional singers, but what they contributed is greater sincerity than professional singers.

I hope everyone will remember this night forever, and I hope such nights will last a long time.

The topic exploded again.

More than 40,000 publicly sold tickets, with an average price of 500 yuan, totaling more than 20 million RMB, and they donated it just like that.

And this concert even cost tens of millions—

Of course, everyone can see how dedicated this concert is.

The best venue, the best stage art, the top directing team, the top dance troupe.

Such a cost was actually borne by the three of them themselves?!

(This was Lu Yan He telling Hou Jun, this concert is the concert of the three of them, there is no need to say at this time that it was borne by him alone. The reason he bore it alone was not because Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were unwilling, but out of his own obsession.)

Someone immediately said: Aurora Video and Icefield Video both broadcast it, they must have paid a high broadcast fee, right?

Aurora Video and Icefield Video official Weibo personally went down and said: No, we all got free authorization. According to their wishes, this broadcast, whether it is live or future videos, will not have any advertisements and will be completely free for everyone to watch.

At this time, someone popped out and said that Lu Yan He and the others don't lack this money at all. Many platforms wanted to buy the broadcast rights, but were rejected by Lu Yan He and the others.

Many fans subconsciously wanted to refute those who refused to believe that Lu Yan He and the others were so "indifferent to interests."

But a senior fan said: Tonight, the three of them have been expressing love, expressing friendship, expressing beautiful things. We don't need to argue with them, don't become ugly for some people who are deliberately looking for trouble.

This sentence was liked and forwarded by many people, and even reached the top of the homepage.

Many people didn't refute anymore, and copied and pasted this sentence under every skeptic's Weibo.

Those who wanted to stir up trouble didn't dare to have any temper in the face of thousands of copies and pastes.

Lu Yan He followed Chen Siqi to No. 13 Middle School.

The acting has to be complete.

"They have arrived." Lu Yan He said to Chen Siqi.

Chen Siqi looked at the film crew at the gate of No. 13 Middle School, as well as the equipment and big lights common in filming, and asked curiously: "Recording at this time, what are you recording?"

Lu Yan He shook his head, "Who knows? Sister Zhenzhen always has some strange ideas."

Chen Siqi nodded, "Alright."

Lu Yan He said: "Let's go."

Wang Biao parked the car, and Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi got off together.

"Sister Zhenzhen." Lu Yan He shouted.

Li Zhenzhen turned to look at Lu Yan He and smiled.

"Where are Zhixing and the others?" Lu Yan He asked.

Li Zhenzhen said: "They are still recording the previous part at another point, they will come over in about twenty minutes, you wait a moment."

Lu Yan He nodded.

Chen Siqi greeted Li Zhenzhen.

Linyu and Xu Zijun also came over.

"It's been a long time since I've been back to school." They looked at the school and said with emotion.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Lu Yan He asked, "Anyway, they have booked the venue tonight, the school should be accessible, right?"

"Yes, we have already notified the school." Li Zhenzhen said, "You guys go in and walk around, recall your high school years, when they arrive, I will call you."

Lu Yan He nodded.

Lu Yan He looked at Chen Siqi, "Let's go."

Chen Siqi nodded.

"What's wrong with Li Pengfei? He won't answer the phone either." Xu Zijun said, "You guys go in first, he drove himself, he was clearly following us, but now he hasn't appeared, I'll wait for him."

Chen Siqi nodded.

Just at this time, Chen Qin suddenly ran over panting.

"Linyu!"

Linyu was a bit surprised, turning back to look at him.

Chen Qin scratched his head and said: "*The Paris Review* has been trying to contact you, but couldn't reach you, so they called me."

"Ah?" Linyu was stunned, then said to Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi, "Then I'll go return the call first, and come find you later."

Lu Yan He nodded.

Chen Siqi looked at her with a strange expression and said: "Alright."

Thus, in the end, only the two of them walked into the school.

"It's been several years since I've been back."

"Hmm."

Lu Yan He held Chen Siqi's hand and walked on campus.

"And I've never seen No. 13 Middle School so quiet."

Chen Siqi laughed.

"When you first saw me, you thought I was bullying Zijun."

"You really looked like you were bullying her."

"It's clearly Zijun who looks like she's being bullied." Chen Siqi glared at him.

Lu Yan He laughed.

Chen Siqi: "In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed."

"My first pot of gold... my first pot of gold in the third year of high school was earned from you." Lu Yan He laughed, "Do you remember? Acting as your friend, attending your birthday party."

"I remember, you guys really helped me vent my anger at that time." Chen Siqi said, "At that time, I was very grateful to you."

"Did you start liking me from that time?" Lu Yan He raised his eyebrows at Chen Siqi.

Chen Siqi laughed immediately, but didn't speak, neither admitting nor denying.

She asked back: "When did you start liking me?"

"Really, I don't remember." Lu Yan He shook his head, "By the time I reacted, I already liked you."

"As expected of a screenwriter, this answer makes people unable to find any fault."

"It's true." Lu Yan He said.

Chen Siqi: "I really didn't expect you to say *Simple Love* was sung for both of us today."

"I just hope our love is simple."

"Clearly it involves so many interests, doesn't it?"

"Then you also kicked me out of the editor-in-chief position of *Jump Up* just like that, you don't care about interests at all."

"I'm willing."

"Hmm, I'm willing that you're willing." Lu Yan He said, "This is pretty good."

Chen Siqi threatened: "Aren't you afraid that one day I'll run away with the money? Take all your money."

"You don't need to."

"Hmm?"

"My money is already yours, why would you need to take it away." Lu Yan He said with a smile.

"Hehe."

Hmm, still that Chen Siqi, still that familiar, slightly arrogant Chen Siqi.

Lu Yan He suddenly remembered.

Places that once made him look sideways, made him fall in love, made him pay attention.

A girl like a hedgehog.

Always saying the opposite, always using thorns to wrap her softness.

"I promised you something before, do you remember?" Lu Yan He asked.

Chen Siqi: "What?"

"You said, let me help you put on a band-aid again, you want to relive the feeling of that year." Lu Yan He took out a band-aid from his pocket, "Sister Zhenzhen told me that we are recording a program here today, so I thought of this promise, how about it?"

Chen Siqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"So it was this."

"What did you think it was?"

"To be honest, Zijun and Linyu suddenly didn't come in with us, I thought you were going to propose to me here." Chen Siqi said.

Lu Yan He laughed.

"Although I didn't, why are you relieved when you know I didn't intend to propose to you? Don't you want me to propose to you?"

"That's not it." Chen Siqi shook her head, "I just... a bit nervous, the psychological preparation I made, it's not today."

"Do you need psychological preparation to be proposed to?"

"You don't understand."

"Then do you want a surprise for the proposal?" Lu Yan He asked.

"Yes."

"Then you want psychological preparation." Lu Yan He had a headache.

Chen Siqi glared at him, "I just want both fish and bear's paw."

Lu Yan He: "..."

Chen Siqi asked: "Are we going out? Is your program going to be recorded?"

"Seems so, but Sister Zhenzhen hasn't called me yet, maybe it's delayed again." Lu Yan He said, "Let's go back and see."

"Hmm."

The two people's hands were still held together.

In front, Liu Qin suddenly came over.

"Yan He? Siqi?" Liu Qin looked at the two of them in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Lu Yan He also looked at Liu Qin with "surprise."

"Liu Laoshi, didn't you go watch our concert?" he asked, "Why did you come to school at this time?"

"I just sent the two students back. I was tutoring them at school before, promised their parents, and sent them back after watching the concert, but found that the house keys were left in the office, so I came to get them."

Lu Yan He heard this and said: "Then we'll accompany you to get them, it's late at night."

Chen Siqi also nodded.

Liu Qin did not refuse.

"Oh, so those people at the school gate are with you, right?" Liu Qin asked.

Lu Yan He nodded, "We are here to record *Young Days*."

"I thought so."

Liu Qin took them to the teaching building, entered the office, and got the keys from the table.

"Okay, found it." Liu Qin said with a smile, "Thank you for accompanying me to find the keys, otherwise it would be a bit scary for one person."

Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi laughed.

"Let's go."

The three of them walked to the school gate together.

"Eh? Where are those people?"

At the school gate, suddenly no one was seen.

"What's the situation?" Lu Yan He asked.

Liu Qin: "Did they leave?"

"No way?" Chen Siqi was stunned.

Lu Yan He said: "I'll call them and ask, they probably went to record another part nearby and forgot me here. Liu Laoshi, you go back first, don't worry about us."

Liu Qin: "Are you OK? Do you want me to drive you?"

"No need." Lu Yan He said with a smile, "I'll call them, someone will come to pick us up immediately."

"Alright." Liu Qin nodded, "Then I'll go first."

She suddenly said with a smile: "I was very moved watching the concert tonight, Yan He, well done."

She gave Lu Yan He a thumbs up.

Lu Yan He was stunned by this sudden praise.

Liu Qin turned and left with a smile.

Lu Yan He was inexplicably red-eyed again.

"Is it tear incontinence tonight?" Lu Yan He asked.

Chen Siqi took his hand.

"You cried so many times tonight, one more time doesn't matter."

Lu Yan He suddenly remembered something.

"Since no one is here now." He turned to look at the step where Chen Siqi sat when she broke her skin that year, "Do you want to sit over there?"

Chen Siqi was stunned, "Now?"

"Do you want me to relive it for you in front of everyone after they come back?"

Chen Siqi: "..."

She went over embarrassedly and sat down.

Lu Yan He laughed.

Chen Siqi looked at him, raising her head.

"What are you doing? Come over."

Lu Yan He nodded and said: "I'm coming."

He walked over, squatted in front of Chen Siqi, and took out the band-aid.

"Didn't buy iodine, only band-aid, where to stick it?" he asked.

Chen Siqi said: "Stick it wherever you want."

Chen Siqi was wearing a long skirt today. She could gently pull the skirt to one side, revealing the position of that year.

Lu Yan He tore off the band-aid and carefully stuck it to the position below Chen Siqi's knee.

"I remember it seemed to be like this that year."

Lu Yan He said, raised his head, and looked at Chen Siqi.

Chen Siqi's eyes were close at hand.

They could almost feel each other's breath.

Chen Siqi was stunned for a moment.

Lu Yan He: "You asked me before, when did I start liking you."

Chen Siqi nodded: "Hmm."

Lu Yan He: "I really don't remember when I started liking you, but I remember the first time I wanted to hug you."

"When was it?"

"It was when I was here, helping you apply iodine and sticking the band-aid." Lu Yan He said with a gentle smile, "At that time I was thinking, it turns out that a person full of hedgehogs doesn't affect her softness and justice under the disguise."

Chen Siqi's eyes were stunned, and then, her eyes were slightly red.

"I like you." Lu Yan He said.

He took a step back and knelt on one knee.

Chen Siqi's eyes were stunned again, and she widened her eyes in disbelief and with tears in her eyes.

Lu Yan He took out a ring from another pocket.

He held it in front of Chen Siqi.

"Will you marry me?" His voice was even trembling.

He had once been unprecedentedly certain that this question would only have one answer.

However, at this very moment, at this instant, he was still nervous and awkward.

Chen Siqi's tears burst out instantly.

"Sorry, didn't let you have enough psychological preparation." Lu Yan He said with a smile, his eyes also red, "But I have enough psychological preparation, we can grow old together happily, so, marry me."

Chen Siqi nodded.

Suddenly, the surroundings seemed to be twinkling with stars.

Countless light strips lit up in an instant.

Chen Siqi looked up in surprise, looking around.

Trees, buildings, school gates... all were warm yellow light strips, its lighting made the surroundings seem like a fairy tale tone, full of warmth.

Liu Qin returned with a large bunch of balloons, smiling.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang held "Marry" and "Me" respectively.

Xu Zijun, Linyu, Chen Qin, Li Pengfei, Bai Yu, and the others held the number model of "5201314".

People from *Friends*, people from *Young Days*, people from *Chinese Paladin*, people from *Jump Up*, people from Linghe...

Lu Yan He put the ring on Chen Siqi.

Then, he held Chen Siqi's hand and stood up.

He raised Chen Siqi's hand with the ring high.

The whole venue erupted in applause and cheers of congratulations.

Chen Siqi even saw her grandparents, her uncle, and her nephew in the crowd...

Her family members all came under Lu Yan He's arrangement.

They stood with Luo Yuzhong, Wen Shengming, and Chen Ziyan.

Everyone looked at them.

Chen Siqi's tears couldn't stop falling.

However, she didn't mind at all.

She used to hide in her room and cry aggrievedly by herself.

But today, she was shedding tears openly under the gaze of everyone.

Lu Yan He understood, so he didn't say don't cry.

He looked at her with a smile in his eyes in a warm, misty light.

"What to do? It seems like we are both tear-incontinent tonight."

"How are we so compatible?"

"It seems it's God's will that we must be together."

Chen Siqi broke into laughter in Lu Yan He's sentence after sentence.

She stood on tiptoe and kissed Lu Yan He's mouth.

Lu Yan He hugged Chen Siqi's waist and lowered his head to kiss back.

Lu Qingzhen covered Huang Feng's eyes and said with a smile: "Not suitable for children, close your eyes quickly."

The whole venue burst into laughter.
