Chapter 226: Concert 9

Xiang Fei looked at the audience below, still immersed in the emotions of "Dissolving Sorrows," and gently patted the microphone: "Alright everyone, don't be too sad." His voice was warm yet firm, "The road ahead is still long, I believe you'll all be fine."

That sentence was like a ray of sunlight piercing into the audience's hearts; many raised their heads, wiped away their tears, and smiled again.

Seeing this, Xiang Fei playfully blinked: "My other brother has been waiting backstage for a long time now. What, you don't want to meet him?"

The audience erupted instantly: "Brother!!! Leslie!!!"

"*Leslie Cheung!!!"

Amid the deafening cheers, Zhang Guorong elegantly walked onto the stage, a black suit setting off his unique temperament. He picked up the microphone and smiled gently: "Good evening, all of Xiang Fei's fans. I am Leslie Cheung."

A simple greeting instantly ignited the entire venue!

Xiang Fei pouted in mock grievance: "Look, the moment brother comes out, all my fans defect."

Zhang Guorong laughed and patted his shoulder: "Otherwise how could I be the older brother?"

Good-natured laughter erupted from below, and an audience member shouted: "Director, don't be jealous!"

The prelude to "Silence Is Gold" slowly began, and the stage lights shifted to a warm amber.

Xiang Fei put on a solemn look at the audience and said: "This is my first collaboration with brother. Remember to give plenty of applause!"

Zhang Guorong began to sing elegantly:

"The night wind is biting, alone I look back on the past..."

Xiang Fei immediately picked up the next line:

"False accusations and criticisms, a bellyful of pent-up anger..."

Their two voices blended perfectly—one clear and elegant, the other deep and steady. When they sang "Let others laugh and scold, live life with freedom and ease," the two exchanged a smile, perfectly in sync.

The audience below was utterly captivated:

"Oh my god! This combination is amazing!"

"Director and brother's voices are a perfect match!"

"I want to record this and loop it every day!"

When the song ended, the applause lasted for a full two minutes.

Zhang Guorong bowed elegantly: "Thank you, everyone." Turning to Xiang Fei, "Ah Fei, I'll hand it over to you next."

Xiang Fei looked at Zhang Guorong and said: "Alright, brother, you go back to the backstage and rest for a bit."

As Zhang Guorong left the stage, the prelude to "Once Upon a Time" began. Xiang Fei wiped his sweat and shouted at the audience:

"This song was written by me last night, dedicated to everyone who has a dream!"

He sang with full force:

"Once I dreamed of wielding a sword to roam the world..."

The venue instantly turned into a massive sing-along, eighty thousand people trying to sing along in unison:

"To see the splendor of the world..."

When reaching the climax of the second round, Xiang Fei jumped to the front edge of the stage, pointing at the audience:

"Friends over there, louder!"

The audience responded wildly, wave after wave of sound surging higher.

Zhang Guorong took the water Zhou Huimin handed him, smiled and said: "Ah Fei is in great form tonight."

-Anita Mui, cigarette in mouth, said to Sam Hui: "Ah Fei's songs, each one fiercer than the last."

-Jackie Chan held a mineral water bottle as a microphone, swaying to the rhythm, and said: What do you think, should I ask Ah Fei to write me a song too?

Anita Mui glanced at Jackie Chan with a mocking look: "Get in line at the back."

When the song ended, Xiang Fei was drenched in sweat, bracing his knees and panting.

The audience erupted with thunderous applause and cheers:

"Director, take a rest!"

"We love you!"

"One more song!"

Xiang Fei straightened up, wiped his sweat, and said with a smile: "Let me catch my breath... next..." He deliberately drew out his tone, "Please welcome tonight's final guest!"
