Chapter 98
At this time on the internet, the news that Ji Xiaonian was a guest performer at Yu Luobai's concert went straight to the top of Weibo's hot topics.
People started leaving comments, both positive and negative, while fans from Ji Xiaonian's official fan club started promoting videos of their idol's performance.
Shen Shuyao's fans were no exception, eagerly sharing videos of Ji Xiaonian playing the piano, even claiming her as "one of us."
"Wow, I'm starting to ship them, what's happening?"
"Although it's probably not appropriate, has anyone else noticed that Ji Xiaonian's dress and Yu Luobai's suit are in the same color scheme, both with stars?"
"Couple outfits!!!"
"No way, don't spread rumors guys, it's just a stage effect."
"Come on! Ji Xiaonian is with Shen Shuyao right? Who's pairing them up? I'll report you!"
"Hahaha, really, did you see the way Ji Xiaonian looked up at Yu Luobai with shining eyes? And the way Yu Luobai gently looked down at Ji Xiaonian?"
"I can't take it anymore, I'm already imagining an idol drama!"
"Shut up! The JiShen couple can never be broken up!"
"Yes! JiShen is forever the god couple!"
"Hahahahaha."
Ji Xiaonian had already left the stage and was preparing to change clothes. Her next performance was a duet of one of Jay Chou's songs, and her nervous heart was still pounding. It had to be said, Yu Luobai truly deserved his king of pop status, his mental fortitude was remarkable.
He Yi rushed over, and a makeup artist hurriedly came to touch up her makeup. At this time, the concert was still ongoing, with Yu Luobai singing one of his own compositions.
"Sister is amazing!" He Yi exclaimed as she helped Ji Xiaonian take off her dress, giving her a thumbs up.
Ji Xiaonian removed her dress, only her high-waisted leggings and bra remaining, revealing her stunning figure.
At this moment, there were only three people in the changing room: He Yi, a makeup artist, and herself. She wasn't shy, as they were all women, and she didn't mind being seen.
"Hurry! Are you ready?" Someone knocked on the door urgently. "It's time to go on!"
He Yi helped her adjust her clothes, and the makeup artist tied her hair into a high ponytail. Ji Xiaonian looked gorgeous and innocent in her new outfit, leaving people in awe.
"She has great versatility!" the makeup artist praised.
"Quick!" He Yi pulled the woman along, following the staff.
When they arrived at the entrance to the stage, the lights had dimmed again. Ji Xiaonian took this opportunity to run to the center of the stage.
As the lights came back on, a musical accompaniment began playing. Ji Xiaonian looked at the man not far from her, who was also wearing a white stage outfit.
Following the man's deep rap vocals, the audience cheered along.
Ji Xiaonian picked up the microphone, and although her heart was pounding, she remained calm as she sang the following lyrics.
The online stream's viewership skyrocketed, nearly causing the system to crash. The company executives were amazed by the click rate, setting a new record, while netizens continued to leave comments.
"Oh my god, what a heavenly duo, this song is too good!"
"Ji Xiaonian's vocal condition is superb, she harmonizes perfectly with Yu Luobai!"
"Wow, their outfits are so coordinated, and she looks amazing in that high ponytail!"
"I'm done, she's turned me into a fan!"
"No way! My Yu Luobai, mommy doesn't allow you to date!"
"He's mine!!!"
"This song is incredible! The more I listen, the better it gets!"
The live audience was thrilled, even Shen Shuyao was waving her glow stick excitedly.
Towards the end of the song, the male rap and female lead vocals combined in perfect harmony, leaving the audience in awe when the performance concluded.
Yu Luobai naturally walked closer to Ji Xiaonian, and the two shared a smile before bowing to the audience.
After leaving the stage, Ji Xiaonian finally let out a sigh of relief. It was too nerve-wracking, she had sung mechanically throughout, without a chance to think.
At this point, the concert was nearing its end, and Yu Luobai, still on stage, performed another new song, 'Night Song,' once again sending the fans and audience into a frenzy.
Preparing for the finale, Ji Xiaonian was set to play the drums as the closing act. Her high ponytail remained, but she changed into a spaghetti strap hot pants outfit, paired with black knee-high boots, transforming her into a sexy diva. The staff hurriedly led her to the rising platform, and Ji Xiaonian sat behind the drum set, taking a deep breath.
This concert was exhausting, constantly changing outfits without even a chance to drink water before being rushed back on stage.
"For the last song of the concert, I'm going to perform a new song for you all, and I believe you can guess what it is," Yu Luobai said, still catching his breath after his previous performance. He then asked the audience loudly, "Tell me, what's the name of this song?"
The audience unanimously shouted in excitement, "The Ordinary Road!!!"
Under the lights, Yu Luobai's eyes sparkled as he smiled. "Very good, you all guessed it. Here is 'The Ordinary Road' for you!"
Amidst the cheers of the fans, the lights dimmed again, and a beautiful intro began to play. A sexy yet slightly masculine woman appeared on the rising platform.
Yu Luobai smiled at the audience, and his deep, melodious voice began to sing.
Ji Xiaonian watched for her cue, then began accompanying the music on the drums. As soon as she started playing, her cool demeanor elicited screams from the fans.
This was a song destined for greatness, sometimes gentle and moving, sometimes melancholic and sad, but mostly filled with passionate intensity.
In that moment, the melody and lyrics resonated deeply within their hearts. The climax had been rearranged into a rock style, leaving the audience in awe and their blood boiling with excitement.
At that moment, the online viewership soared to over 300 million, breaking the all-time record for domestic entertainment. The four new songs, 'Fairy Tale,' 'Prague Square,' 'Night Song,' and 'The Ordinary Road,' would go on to top the charts at number one.
