Chapter 513: In the Happy Kingdom of Love, You Are My Only One

"Laughing and Talking! Zhou Yi's Concert Mysterious Guest Exposed?!"

"What a mess! Zhou Yi's reaction is flat!"

"As long as the teacher is chosen well, no language is unlearnable!"

"..."

The fast-paced entertainment daily had already included this in its report; Zhou Yi, who had already drawn massive media attention due to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" incident and the Guangzhou concert, once again stole the attention of the onlookers—

"Holy crap! My Wan Ren Mi?! She's actually the mysterious guest?!"

"Not Asa, not Asa, not Asa?"

"Asa, what rotten fish and shrimp, get lost; do you even deserve to claim Wan Ren Mi?"

"Zhou Yi would do it; does he know we like watching his and Cheng Hao's performance in 'The Pink Ladies', so he specifically invited her to recreate it?"

"This TV drama has been airing for so long, yet there hasn't been a single bit of interaction between Zhou Yi and Wan Ren Mi exposed in the news; I even suspect they really dated and broke up..."

"The one upstairs, didn't it say she retired from the industry for Zhou Yi?"

"Because Zhou Yi rarely mentions Cheng Hao either."

"The more low-key, the more likely; the high-profile ones are smokescreens; I bet they are absolutely together!"

"With one bet..."

Li Jiafeng, who had furiously typed a long string of words on the keyboard, finally deleted them and posted three characters saying "I bet," then checked the time, removed his headphones, logged out of all software accounts including QQ, took a deep breath, cut off his internet addiction, and ended his session.

"Yuqin, did you hear? The guest at Zhou Yi's concert might be Wan Ren Mi; many reporters have photographed the two of them leaving Tianhe Stadium together."

"Really? Did they really start dating?!"

As a loyal viewer of the hit drama "The Pink Ladies," Fu Yuqin still quite liked the unique and charming character of Wan Ren Mi.

The long skirt she wore on her last date with her boyfriend was a Wan Ren Mi imitation and modified style she bought over at Shisanhang.

But the problem was that before, she was a staunch Twin Stars faction member.

Both palms and backs of the hands are flesh; this is very difficult to handle, so in the end, she could only reluctantly become a fence-sitter.

"It's true; those forums are in an uproar right now; many people regret not spending money to buy scalper tickets; it must be true."

The youth's tone was gloomy; weighing the camera he borrowed from a friend's house, his heart ached even more—

He liked Wan Ren Mi too!

He admitted that Sun Yanzi's singing was indeed good and her personality was indeed very interesting, but... Cheng Hao is beautiful! Her figure is great!

"Then let's go to the outside of Tianhe Stadium early tomorrow to secure a good spot; maybe we won't just be able to photograph Zhou Yi, but also Wan Ren Mi?"

"Makes sense..."

Li Jiafeng nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yi's popularity was already explosive enough; adding the reappearance of the most popular couple from "The Pink Ladies," which was currently carpet-bombing various satellite TV stations, which young people could withstand this temptation...

…………………………………

"Don't worry, I can withstand it."

On the evening of the 19th, after treating the entire team and staff to a meal, Zhou Yi, who hadn't really touched his chopsticks, privately opened a late-night snack session with Cheng Hao and ate a meal of specialty roast goose—

"This isn't anything dipped in chili sauce; it won't affect my throat."

Zhou Yi, spitting out bones, mumbled unclearly: "Let me tell you, they say eating chicken in Qingyuan is a specialty, and the squab in Zhongshan is also incredibly delicious; compared to that, Guangzhou is a bit lacking."

The woman, holding chopsticks in her right hand while her palm casually supported her cheek, watched him shovel rice into his mouth; her eyebrows curved, and she smiled widely: "Have you been there to eat?"

"Not exactly, but a friend brought me to eat there."

After tearing open a pack of tissues requested from the boss and placing them before the man, Cheng Hao put down her chopsticks, leaned back, recalled the rehearsals of these past few days, and looked at him with interest: "But you are also bold; you actually dared to arrange for me to sing and dance."

"Can that even be called dancing? That was just waving around a couple of times; what's the difference from doing calisthenics?"

Zhou Yi, full and satisfied, wiped his mouth noncommittally, threw down the tissues, raised his eyes to meet hers, and chuckled softly: "However, your body flexibility and limb coordination were beyond my expectations, second only to your speed in learning the piano."

Struck at her weak point, Cheng Hao's eyes shifted; she quietly avoided further eye contact by taking a sip of tea: "Then, let tea stand in for wine; I wish your concert tomorrow a complete success?"

"I borrow your good words."

Zhou Yi, smiling, raised his disposable cup and clinked it against hers.

The next day, July 20th, Sunday, 5 PM.

When Zhou Yi arrived slowly outside Tianhe Stadium in a sedan car at this ticket-checking time, he was shocked by the density of people stretching as far as the eye could see outside the stadium—

"What's going on? Is there a problem with ticket checking?"

"They are your fans, just the ones who couldn't buy tickets; however, they still want to see you."

Under Zhou Yi's influence, Qian Jiang, who paid special attention to the internet, skillfully relayed the information he knew: "I have to say, the improvement suggestions you proposed back then were indeed very forward-looking. If we hadn't increased security inside and outside the venue, who knows what problems would have arisen with so many people gathering together."

When Zhou Yi originally annotated the plans, some people inside Warner still felt it was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Facts proved that Zhou Yi's preparations indeed worked.

"I'll go down and say hello."

Under Qian Jiang's hesitant gaze, Zhou Yi, who had gotten out of the car, did not go directly into the stadium to start preparations; instead, he walked outward first, waving and greeting his fans—

"Ahhh!!!! Zhou Yi!!!"

"Zhou Yi!!!"

"Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi!!!"

The fans, who thought they wouldn't get to see their idol, became as excited as monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain one by one after Zhou Yi came out, constantly reaching their hands toward Zhou Yi's direction.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. Those who want to take photos, hurry up; if it gets any later, I think my assistant will urge me to go in and start preparations."

Looking at these faces brimming with youth, Zhou Yi, who kept waving at them, wore an exceptionally sincere smile on his face.

After satisfying the wish of these fans who couldn't enter to take commemorative photos, he bid farewell to the reluctant fans and, under the escort of the team, stepped into the backstage area.

"How was it? How was it?! Did you get the shot?!"

Fu Yuqin, unable to enter the inside of Tianhe Stadium, didn't know how excited she was the moment she saw her idol with her own eyes; she kept patting her boyfriend beside her, her eyes shining brightly!

"I got it, I got it!"

Li Jiafeng, who had thought he could only photograph the car, was also very excited, happily sharing the candid shots he had taken with his girlfriend.

This made him feel the trip hadn't been in vain.

"Since we got the shot, let's go eat first. The concert starts at 7:30 in the evening. We can just swing back past here on our way back, listen to the opening from outside, and then head home."

Ticket inspection starts at 5:00 in the afternoon, the official opening is at 7:30 at night, and right now the sun hasn't even set yet.

"Okay!"

The excited Li Jiafeng hung the camera around his neck, chattering away to his girlfriend about how it felt to see Zhou Yi in person with his own eyes.

However, after the two of them finished eating and stepped back outside Tianhe Stadium right around 7:30, there were clearly still people outside with the same idea as them—

Although the population density was much lower than in the afternoon, the number was still not small, and they had already taken all the good spots.

"It's fine, we should be able to hear from here. This stadium isn't that well soundproofed."

Though disappointed, the girl clearly didn't take it too much to heart. Instead, she pulled her boyfriend to a spot a little bit away from Tianhe Stadium, and with a cheerful smile linked her arm through his: "Besides, we can see the starry sky from here. If we went any closer, with so many people, they'd be feeding the mosquitoes~"

"..."

Li Jiafeng, who had been excited moments ago about having photographed Zhou Yi from a great distance, listened to the opening music already drifting out from inside Tianhe Stadium and instantly fell silent.

He could recognize tonight's opening song—

It was "Jing Wu Men."

He could only hear it in fragments, though, because wave after wave of cheers kept breaking up his listening. But his girlfriend still didn't mind at all—she even softly hummed the lyrics, bobbing her head and automatically singing along to complete the whole song.

Li Jiafeng suddenly felt that the camera in his hands, still taking pictures, had become rather heavy.

"Hmm? Jiafeng, what's wrong?"

"... I'm sorry, Yuqin. I'll definitely work hard to make money from now on. I'll definitely take you to a Zhou Yi concert someday." Under the streetlight, the boy unconsciously tightened his grip on his girlfriend's right hand as he spoke earnestly.

The girl with her long hair fluttering was stunned for a moment, then smiled and rose on tiptoe, lifting her left hand to tap the tip of her boyfriend's nose: "Let me correct you on one tiny thing—it's the two of us working hard to make money together, okay? We'll go see it together."

As the girl's words fell, from that dream place far away that the two of them couldn't enter at all, Zhou Yi's loud and affectionate singing drifted out—

"I hold you tight in my arms, cradling you in my palm,

"Who says the one I truly love isn't you~

"In the happy kingdom of love, you are my only one,

"The only one I love is you~~~"
