Chapter 274: Pua Emma Stone, Liu Tianxian Stunned

Taylor Swift's World Tour, Barcelona stop.

Meimei's performance was brilliant as always, dazzling and radiant!

Tens of thousands of fans in the stadium cheered, screaming wildly beneath the stage.

This is Taylor Swift's song, this is her stage!

In a pink gown, she looked like the absolute queen of the entire venue, her aura fully unleashed!

When the concert setlist ended, continuous "Encore!" cries erupted throughout the stadium, and Meimei returned to the stage amid the thunderous cheers.

Standing at the center of the stage, gazing at the dense sea of glow sticks and exhilarated fans below,

Taylor Swift smiled brilliantly.

"Next, I will perform a song."

"This song hasn't been released yet. It'll probably appear on my next album, and tonight is its very first performance. Friends of Barcelona, you are very lucky."

"Ooooh!!"

The entire stadium exploded!

Meimei's new album *Speak Now* had only just been released—how could they already be hearing a song from the next album?

What an absolute surprise!

Many fans had already screamed themselves hoarse.

"This song, I won't be singing alone. Today I will perform it together with a special guest. I hope everyone enjoys it."

A special guest?

Who on earth could it be?

Could it be Meimei's best friend, hugely popular among teenagers—Selena Gomez?

Or perhaps Lady Gaga, under Starlight Music?

Just as the fans below buzzed with speculation, a single silhouette drew gasps of shock from everyone present!

"Xu Can!!"

"Holy shit! It's really him!"

"He's come to Meimei's concert again!"

It was unexpected, yet entirely within reason.

Ever since the last New York concert, where Xu Can made his entrance in Spider-Man style, the onlookers had grown used to his appearances.

This CP combo performing together on the same stage made perfect sense!

Xu Can was seen slowly rising from beneath the stage, and rising with him was a Steinway grand piano!

Elegantly, Xu Can was no longer Spider-Man—today he was playing the role of a pianist!

Everyone went absolutely wild; the roar of the concert venue was even more exaggerated than Barça scoring at Camp Nou.

The only one suffering was the stage director.

Meimei's last-minute costume change had already been a headache,

And now there was a last-minute addition to the act! According to the plan, where was there any special guest?

Still, the director didn't dare voice his anger. This guest was none other than—his boss's boss—the ultimate big boss!

Offend him, and in a few days he'd find himself fired for stepping through the door with his right foot first.

But—Xu Can is a movie star!

Can he play the piano? Can he sing… wait, Xu Can did sing in *La La Land*.

And the jazz parts were all played by Xu Can himself, no faking whatsoever.

Then it's fine…

The stage director was even looking forward to it—what kind of performance would the Xu Can and Meimei CP combo deliver?

Xu Can appeared utterly composed under the spotlight, like a master with decades of performance experience, sitting at the piano with the full bearing of a virtuoso.

He exchanged a glance with Meimei, giving the signal.

Then his slender fingers danced across the keys, and a light, brisk melody flowed out.

At the same time, Taylor Swift's silver-bell-like voice rose to meet it.

"I said oh my, what a charming tune!"

"I'll never forget our dancing night."

"As if we were made of starlight, shining brilliantly…"

A special piano-accompanied version of *Starlight*, debuting in this world for the very first time.

This song's melody was bright and cheerful; originally it was a new song Xu Can and Meimei had worked out together while playing piano at home.

In his previous life it was included on Meimei's fourth studio album *Red*, only released to the public in 2012.

This song was not one of Meimei's tracks lashing out at an ex-boyfriend, but a sweet, cheerful little love song.

The duet version Xu Can and Meimei performed on stage had less rock feel, with a touch more jazz and pop elements; after the BPM slowed down, it became a male-female duet love song.

"In this place all dressed up, we welcome the fall of night, dancing to our hearts' content"

"Shining brilliantly, we are wed."

"We'll have ten children, and teach them how to dream"

Especially when singing this lyric, Meimei couldn't help but recall what had just happened,

The story between her and Xu Can in the dressing room—she nearly couldn't hold it together.

On stage, the two exchanged deep, affectionate glances from time to time, making this little sweet song even sweeter.

Meimei's vocals needed no further praise,

Xu Can's piano playing drove the entire audience completely wild.

With the soul of *La La Land*'s male lead Seb fused into him, Xu Can is practically a jazz master — any complex piano melody flows under his fingers as effortlessly as drinking water, smooth and effortless.

A rendition of "Starlight" set the entire Barcelona concert venue ablaze.

Xu Can's piano and harmonies were an eye-opener for every fan in attendance.

"Xu Can, debut already! The moment you drop an album, I'll buy it out!"

"No, no — hurry up and make a movie. I want to see *Interstellar*!"

"Right, stop fooling around — making movies is what matters! Spider-Man 3!"

"When are the rest of the Marvel movies coming out? I can't wait!"
