Chapter 81

Bai Lu starts to let her imagination run wild, thinking she might have special feelings for Zhang Yang.

A blush begins to appear on her cheeks, but it’s not very obvious under the lights, and no one notices.

Bai Lu glances out of the corner of her eye and sees Zhang Yang devouring oysters, with no image to speak of.

Alright, it seems she was overthinking it!

At this time, bursts of singing come from the barbecue city.

This attracts everyone's attention.

They see a few young people at a table picking up a guitar and starting to sing.

The surrounding guests enthusiastically support them, gently tapping along to the rhythm of the music.

Soon, the song ends!

"Clap, clap, clap……!"

"Encore…… encore!"

"You sang very well, one more!"

"One more, one more!"

The surrounding guests give them warm applause!

The young people singing didn't expect the audience to be so enthusiastic, and they thank everyone profusely.

"Thank you, thank you everyone, thank you all for your support!"

The barbecue city owner sees this.

He even directly pulls over the shop's sound equipment to let the young people perform.

Under everyone's enthusiastic encouragement, the young people shyly walk onto the stage.

[Wow, wow……! The atmosphere in this barbecue city is too good! It could practically hold a concert!]

[Zhang Yang! Don't hide! Since you're already here…… why don't you go up and sing a few songs!]

[Hahaha, Zhang Yang only has three songs, he can't sing many, but warming up the crowd is about right.]

[If only I were there, I’d play "Love Like Fire" and get everyone shaking!]

[This barbecue city feels like it’s going to be huge; there are over a hundred million people watching this livestream right now!]

[I can only say Zhang Yang is awesome; he completely brought We Zibo to popularity!]

[Zhang Yang! How much did We Zibo pay you? We in Tangshan will pay double to invite you to Tangshan!]

[Hahaha, why are you everywhere? As soon as he hears it’s Tangshan, Zhang Yang will run away overnight!]

[No, wasn't We Zibo’s popularity because of those college student special forces tourists?]

[That’s not wrong, but as for making We Zibo barbecue completely explode across the internet and go viral, you still have to look at Zhang Yang!]

[My Brother Yang’s influence! Over a hundred million people in the livestream, what kind of concept is that? It’s directly comparable to a super A-lister!]

……………………

At this time, the young person who walked to the front of the stage holds the microphone and greets everyone.

"Good evening everyone, we are college students from Lu Province. Today we are really happy; my friends and I have set foot on this land of We Zibo once again."

"Whoa…! Welcome, welcome…!"

The guests all cheer loudly!

"Actually, this is our second time coming to We Zibo. The first time was ten months ago, when we and thousands of students from Lu Province came to We Zibo for the first time!"

…………………

Suddenly, the guests off-stage start to stir.

Ten months ago.

Wasn't that before China had opened up?

The internet has a memory!

Countless people recall ten months ago, and infinite emotion arises in their hearts; fortunately, all of this has passed!

However, what does this have to do with them?

Everyone continues to listen curiously!

"After we arrived here, we felt the enthusiasm of the people of We Zibo; they really treated us like their own children, taking care of us in every possible way!"

"In those days, we gradually came to treat We Zibo as our second home. Thank you again for your meticulous care!"

"After things were over, before we left, the people of We Zibo treated us to a We Zibo barbecue; the taste was the same as it is now, full of human warmth!"

"At that time, we made a promise that when the spring flowers bloom next year, we would come back for barbecue, so today we have arrived as promised!"

…………………………

"Clap, clap, clap………!"

The audience at the scene responds to this moving story with their warmest applause, and many people have moist eyes!

"Wuwu……! So moving!"

"Zhang Yang! Did you know about this beforehand?"

Bai Lu is even more teary-eyed and deeply moved!

"I suppose I knew a little bit. This is a touching story of a two-way journey, so I came to see the human warmth here!"

Zhang Yang reveals a faint smile; this time, it didn't disappoint him either!

The hospitality of the We Zibo people is truly no joke!

At this moment, the livestream is even more boiling!

[So this is the reason We Zibo went viral. Zhang Yang said it well; this is a touching story of a two-way journey!]

[It’s just too moving! A tough guy sheds tears; this is the reason so many college students flocked to We Zibo!]

[When the spring flowers bloom next year, we will arrive as promised! What a romantic thing this is!]

[I’m crying to death! In the past, you protected me; today, I come to fulfill the promise to repay you!]

[I’m a tough guy shedding tears! This is We Zibo, a place full of human warmth!]

[We Zibo deserves to be popular! There were so many college student special forces-style tourists on Douyin before; it turns out they were coming back to repay the kindness!]

[The people of We Zibo are too honest, not mentioning this at all. If I hadn't watched the livestream, I really wouldn't have known about this!]

[I’m watching and crying; the most moving things are always kindness and sincerity!]

[I’m breaking down in tears, too moving. I also really want to go to We Zibo to experience the human warmth!]

…………

This touching story of a two-way journey spreads rapidly online!

In an instant, it causes the entire internet to boil!

Before long,

Last year's reports, videos, the letter from the people of We Zibo to the students, and their promise are all exposed online!

For a time!

Countless people are teary-eyed, deeply moved by it!

At this very moment!

We Zibo barbecue is no longer just a meal of barbecue, but the human warmth of the We Zibo people, the enthusiasm of the We Zibo people!

This night!

In every corner of China, countless people have the thought of going to We Zibo!

Even if it’s really just to eat a meal of barbecue!

………

At this time, Shepherd Barbecue City has become an ocean of joy!

Everyone’s face is beaming with happy smiles.

"Your love flows in your eyes

Love ripples like fire

My heart has long gone crazy for you."

……

"Zhang Yang! Zhang Yang! It’s your song! Do you want to go up and sing it?"

Bai Lu cheers and says to Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang shakes his head: "Let’s forget it, they are singing quite well!"

Bai Lu feels a bit regretful: "Alright then!"
