"Boss," just as everyone was about to leave the dressing room, Eleven walked in and handed the mask in her hand to Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng took the mask and looked at Xiao Ye, "Take another look now, am I Chen Jianan?"
As he spoke, Chen Cheng placed the mask over his face.
For a moment, the entire dressing room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, and Xiao Ye stood frozen in place.
After a while, Xiao Ye hopped excitedly up to Chen Cheng, "Are you really Chen Jianan?"
Chen Cheng curled his lips slightly, said nothing, and turned to leave the dressing room.
All explanations were futile; let the facts speak for themselves.
During the intermission, everyone went to the restroom or chatted.
Chen Cheng walked onto the stage without attracting much attention, but the few youngsters saw him go up and immediately began to dance with excitement.
Chen Cheng tested the microphone and cleared his throat, "Ahem~ This next song is dedicated to all the younger brothers and sisters who are preparing for the college entrance exam."
After speaking, Chen Cheng turned his head to look at Xiao Ye, signaling that the accompaniment could be played.
The prelude played slowly.
"Where exactly is the world filled with flowers?"
Chen Cheng's voice was crisp and powerful, carrying a hint of stubbornness, as if asking a soul-searching question to the world.
As soon as he started singing, the noisy sounds from below the stage gradually quieted down, and everyone looked up at the person singing on stage.
"If it really exists, then I will definitely go."
...
Chen Cheng used his chameleon voice, his tone raspy, and the sense of roaring gushed out.
"Run forward, facing cold eyes and ridicule. How can one feel the vastness of life without experiencing hardships? Fate cannot make us kneel and beg for mercy. Even if blood spills all over our embrace, keep running, carrying the pride of an innocent heart. How can one see the brilliance of life without persevering to the end?"
The last note fell, and the bar was silent for a second.
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Dedicated to all of you who are running hard."
Immediately, the audience erupted into thunderous applause.
Some had tears in their eyes, and others hugged each other.
Zhao Rui, Lin Miaomiao, and Deng Xiaoqi had their arms around each other's shoulders, tears in their eyes, waving their hands vigorously.
Jiang Tianhao was jumping up and down on the side, shouting, "Chen Jianan!"
"Chen Jianan!"
Xiao Ye excitedly covered her mouth and turned to look at Xiao Ma and the others.
The entire Unconditional Band also shouted in unison, "Chen Jianan! Chen Jianan!"
Hearing the shouts, the surrounding crowd seemed to react.
"Chen Jianan!"
"Chen Jianan!"
For a moment, the entire venue was chanting in unison the pseudonym Scum Cheng used to release songs.
Standing on the stage, Chen Cheng felt for the first time the thrill of being the center of attention.
After a long while, Chen Cheng waved his hand and clapped in the air to signal for quiet.
The shouting gradually died down.
Chen Cheng turned to look at the members of Unconditional, "May I invite the Unconditional band to accompany me?"
Whoo~
A loud whistle blasted through the air.
Xiao Ye, Xiao Ma, and Zhang Chi looked at each other and all nodded.
Chen Cheng's lips curled slightly; people who play music are sometimes very pure—as long as your song sounds good, whatever you say is right.
Seeing them walk onto the stage, Chen Cheng walked over to discuss the setlist.
Xiao Ye did not go on stage; she stood there with a smile, looking at the masked Chen Cheng with a bit of infatuation.
Not only is he handsome, but his singing is so good, and he knows how to write songs too.
I'm in love.
"Next, 'The You of the Past' is for everyone."
Chen Cheng began his 'Resignation Association President' special performance.
"Once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword"
"..."
After singing the four songs by 'Old Cousin', Chen Cheng waved at Deng Xiaoqi.
Deng Xiaoqi was a bit confused and pointed her index finger at herself.
Me?
Chen Cheng nodded and made a gesture of playing a trumpet.
Deng Xiaoqi understood immediately. She squeezed through the crowd and climbed onto the stage.
Chen Cheng turned and walked over to Xiao Ye, asking her for a trumpet.
He had seen it in the dressing room earlier; someone in the band had brought one.
Xiao Ye asked the owner, who didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.
When Deng Xiaoqi returned to the stage with the trumpet, Chen Cheng cleared his throat and spoke into the microphone:
"Ahem, next, we're changing the style."
Chen Cheng nodded to the band members regarding the song they had just discussed.
The prelude played slowly; Chen Cheng kept the rhythm, tapping his hand in a regular beat.
As soon as the moment arrived, Chen Cheng immediately pointed in the direction where Deng Xiaoqi was standing.
"Da da da da da~ Da da da da da~"
"With the sun overhead, burning with the residual heat of youth..."
Chen Cheng was completely in the zone; for the next few songs, he pulled Xiao Ye to sing along.
The audience below was also hyped, holding up their phones to record frantically.
Those who knew the songs were singing along.
Zhao Rui, Lin Miaomiao, Jiang Tianhao, and Qian Sanyi were also having a blast, holding their phones in one hand, waving their other hands to the beat, and singing along.
Their bodies were swaying non-stop with the rhythm.
It could be said that their whole bodies were busy.
After singing, Chen Cheng didn't sing the few songs he had previously uploaded; it was quite tiring to keep singing.
Backstage.
Chen Cheng exchanged contact information with Xiao Ye.
"Can I sing your songs in my future performances?" Xiao Ye asked, holding her phone with both hands and looking at Chen Cheng expectantly.
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, "Sing whatever you want."
"Yay!" Xiao Ye clenched her fists, somewhat excited.
Before this, she really liked these songs, but she only dared to sing one per night.
Singing too many would easily get her criticized by the audience, and there was also the possibility of becoming a defendant.
"What is your full name? I'll add it as a note." Chen Cheng smiled, looking at Xiao Ye's pretty face.
"Oh, my name is Ye Chuxi, you can just call me Xiao Ye." Her voice revealed her joy.
She was clearly very happy. This guy in front of her was tall and handsome, and he was so good at singing and writing songs.
The more she looked, the more infatuated she became.
[Ye Chuxi favorability +5]
Chen Cheng was stunned when he saw the notification. When he was singing earlier, Xiao Ye had been continuously adding to his favorability, and she was still doing it now.
Truly, a pure love-struck brain.
This favorability had hit 75; if there hadn't been other people in the dressing room, Scum Cheng would have almost leaned down and kissed her lips.
If the dry mouth he felt for Qin Shi was purely a physiological impulse.
Then right now, looking at Xiao Ye with her curly hair and lovely face, it was a purely psychological impulse.
This was a girl lacking love, and Scum Cheng wanted to give her his love to make her feel complete in body and mind.
Scum Cheng curled his lips slightly, revealing an alluring smile, "Then let's chat later, I'll go first."
After speaking, Scum Cheng didn't forget to instruct, "Remember, you can't reveal my information to anyone else."
Xiao Ye kept smiling and nodded heavily, as if she had accepted a mission, promising:
"Mm-hmm, don't worry, no one will be able to get your information from us."
Chen Cheng smiled, greeted the others, and left the venue.
Scum Cheng was in a good mood; tonight he not only met Xiao Ye.
But the favorability of Deng Xiaoqi, Lin Miaomiao, and Zhao Rui had also increased.
It could be said he had gained a lot.
As for the specific amounts, they will not be mentioned for now.
The reason, you understand.
