Lin Muci and Ling Qianhe spent the entire afternoon at his mother's mausoleum.
Then a helicopter came to pick up Ling Qianhe. His performance time was approaching, and he turned to look at Lin Muci, leaning close to her ear, as if whispering sweet nothings.
"Are you really not considering performing on stage with me?"
Lin Muci sighed.
"I haven't practiced, and I haven't rehearsed. What would I dance?"
"You should go perform with peace of mind. I can just be a guest."
"This is globally broadcast again, isn't it? Are you sure you've practiced enough and won't disappoint the global audience?"
She looked up into Ling Qianhe's eyes, then heard his voice, tinged with a low chuckle. He leaned closer, speaking earnestly in her ear.
"Don't worry."
"I've practiced enough, and I absolutely won't disappoint the global audience—"
He paused.
"And you."
"When have I ever disappointed anyone?"
"In bed."
"Never."
...
Outside the performance venue, a vast sea of cheering light boards was a spectacular sight.
Fans who had flown in from overseas lined up, and passersby cast curious, uncomprehending glances.
"Whose fans are these? Why are there so many... The scale is too grand. Could there be a new top idol who has emerged that I don't know about?"
Passersby wondered with bewilderment.
Then they heard a young girl in front explain.
"These are all Ling Qianhe's fans. I heard he's coming to be the closing act as a guest, which is why so many fans have rushed here. After all, he hasn't been on stage for a long time, his fans must be going crazy from waiting..."
Ling Qianhe?
Upon hearing that it was Ling Qianhe, these passersby
revealed expressions of sudden realization.
They showed no surprise.
If it were someone else, it might have caused them to wonder.
But if it were Ling Qianhe,
then it was entirely reasonable.
Only he could command such a grand display!
The world's sole top-tier star, an award-winning actor, and a top idol; even announcing his relationship at an awards ceremony hadn't affected his popularity.
Who else could achieve all this?
It could only be Ling Qianhe.
...
The stage was resplendent with starlight.
Since the announcement that Ling Qianhe would be attending this year's idol awards ceremony, it had garnered exceptional attention.
Ling Qianhe's fans watched the preceding performances with yawns.
"Is this the latest boy group from overseas?"
"Their performance is so listless... not dominant on stage at all."
"Seven or eight people sharing one song, and they can sing like this live, failing to hit the high notes and unable to reach the low ones. Tsk tsk, it's practically a joke!"
Having seen Ling Qianhe,
having experienced the best,
it was difficult to feel any interest in these freshly minted so-called "fresh meat" and new boy groups. They only glanced at them briefly before casting them aside.
Although they cheered out of politeness,
their deepest anticipation was still for the king in their hearts!
They waited wholeheartedly for Ling Qianhe to appear.
And when the host began to announce the acts, the fans below finally breathed a sigh of relief—was Brother Qianhe finally coming out?
...
All the lights on stage blazed to life.
Under the dazzling brilliance, he stepped out, bathed in light.
He was like a heavenly god descending.
The light fell upon his face, a countenance so handsome it could dim the sun and moon.
He stepped forward, one step at a time.
He was so masterful.
Each step landed precisely in the hearts of the audience. As he looked up and raised an eyebrow, his face appeared on the big screen, and the entire venue erupted in screams. The girls seemed to go mad in an instant.
"Ling Qianhe!"
A thunderous wave of cheers, everyone shouting his name. Amidst this surge of roaring calls, he adjusted his earpiece and smiled, nodding at the staff below.
He was the eternal white moonlight
for countless fangirls.
"Presenting this song."
"《This Long Love》."
"Dedicated to the person I love in this world."
"Thank you, everyone."
Brother Qianhe is going to sing?
This song doesn't sound like an energetic dance track, but rather a particularly sweet love ballad.
The fans became even more expectant. His voice resonated, deep and affectionate, seemingly piercing the soul.
Their very souls trembled slightly to his singing. He curved the ends of his notes; a single glance from him could make one's bones go soft.
"Love, the very origin of my being, through lifetimes, I will never give up."
"From the endless waters, I choose only you."
"In this vast world, you are the only one."
"Hand in hand, we grow old together. This love will never fade, lifetime after lifetime—I am willing to bear this lifelong romantic tribulation. I ask the gods and Buddhas about my heart, and my heart beats only for you. The bell rings, love ignites, raise your glasses."
"The sun and moon continue, the mountains and rivers flow ceaselessly. In this life, I will never forget, and I wish to stay with you alone."
"Returning late from high places, fishing songs and bonfires, earthly joys and happiness, worldly peace and fireworks."
"This love is eternal."
The entire venue fell silent. It felt as if only the young man's voice could be heard, like a gentle breeze—a breeze passing through, stirring the wind, and even more so, stirring the heart.
【So passionate...】
【Wuwuwu, I'm so moved. I used to think Brother Qianhe was the untamable, wild type, full of wicked energy.】
【I really can't imagine that one day, someone like him, who could conquer heavens and earth on stage, would also sing love songs tenderly to the one he loves!】
【He must lock it down with Xiao Ci!】
【Love Qian Ci! Forever and ever!】
The fans were so moved they were almost in tears. Qianhe sang on stage, each word and phrase hitting the fans right in the heart—the light boards lit up inch by inch, and on the big screen was the man with the most stunning face in the world and the gentlest smile.
He gave a slight nod towards the screen.
Then he said.
"Do you like it?"
The screams from below were incessant, deafening.
【We super like it!】
【Ahhhhhh! Ling Qianhe, you are a miracle on earth!】
Brother Qianhe finally deigned to grace them with his presence; who wouldn't like that?
Moreover, the song was written beautifully. He had promised to sing a new song, and Ling Qianhe actually sang a new song!
He truly meant what he said and never broke his promise.
The fans were very excited.
And he looked at the big screen, saying.
"Thank you. My she will like it too, won't she?"
His tone was as gentle as a spring breeze.
The fans' eyes widened, and they applauded without hesitation, their hands almost worn out from clapping—the atmosphere in the venue instantly reached its peak!
"She will! She absolutely will like it!"
"She—she will definitely like your song!"
Hearing the fans say this, a gentle smile slowly bloomed on Ling Qianhe's lips.
"Do you like it?"
A spotlight fell, surprisingly—it landed on a specific seat in the audience.
The young girl sitting in the seat helplessly put her hand to her forehead, but since she had been singled out, she could only stand up, straighten her posture, and sigh.
"I do."
She really liked it.
The audience erupted, practically exploding!
Wow. Xiao Ci is actually here?
Wuwuwu, he's really singing it to Xiao Ci on the spot!
He's really confessing so openly!
How can this CP be so sweet, but—this level of sweetness, please, give us more!
