Chapter 111: Wang Fei’s Unifying Power
The sing-alongs swelled and swelled. By the back rows, some people could no longer even hear the singer’s live voice from the stage, yet that did nothing to stop them from joining in with bright, carefree voices.
The joyous moment ended quickly. After the guests finished their performances and left the stage, everyone had thought the concert was drawing to a close. Unexpectedly, the host stepped up at last, clasped his hands together, and the audience fell silent.
“Everyone, as we announced earlier, there will be a mysterious guest appearing here tonight. This mysterious guest is known as the Little Prince of Love Songs. Do you all know who he is?”
“Wang Fei!!”
“Ahhhhh! My husband!!”
“The Little Prince of Love Songs, Wang Fei!!”
“My favorite, Wang Fei!!”
“My god!! Hurry up and marry me!!”
“Husband!! I love you!!”
Again, it was that same young man who shouted the loudest. The audience roared with laughter and all turned to look at him.
You really are something, aren’t you? You want Wang Fei too, and you wanted the boy-band captain just now too. You want them all, do you? Not leaving a single one for us girls, then?
Watching the sea of purple support lights around him, Lin Yu felt a little dazed. Running into Wang Fei here was one thing, but to see this side of how wildly popular he really was came as a surprise.
It seemed that the cuckold persona in this dating show was the best disguise he had ever worn, and also the most pitiful one.
Jiujiu was already so excited she was practically beside herself. It was hard not to suspect that this girl was not so much a fan of the singer’s talent as a pure face-chaser.
Still, that was how female streamers were. Everyone understood the rule: what the audience saw was always what the audience liked to see.
“Thank you all for your affection. Let us welcome the Little Prince of Love Songs, Wang Fei!”
Wang Fei came onstage in casual clothes, walked to the very front of the stage, and shook hands in a relaxed manner with his enthusiastic fans, which sent the entire venue into fresh shrieks.
“It’s already almost eleven o’clock, and your enthusiasm is still as fierce as the morning sun.”
“Thank you all for your love. I love you too!”
For these college students, once it passed eleven, the night only grew more alive. Rest? That did not exist. Once the atmosphere was stirred up, it only burned hotter.
Lin Yu was nearly deafened by the screaming beside him and had no choice but to cover his ears, at least so he would not end up in an ear clinic tomorrow.
The fervor around him exceeded even his expectations. Though he was the same age as the people around him, his own state of mind seemed no longer to permit such wild abandon.
But men, after all, are always children at heart. Isn’t mischief perfectly normal?
“Wang Fei! I heard you’re in a relationship. Is that true?”
“I saw you chasing the diva around on that dating show earlier. Is your ship real or fake?!”
Lin Yu squeezed into the middle and shouted toward the stage.
The moment he did, the whole venue fell quiet for a beat, and then the female fans erupted.
“Brother, when are you marrying your sister-in-law? We’ll pay to support her!”
“Ahhh, I really like Miss Yi Chu too! It would be so great if she could become our sister-in-law!!”
“The ship I was so crazily rooting for on the dating show—is it real?!”
“Ahhhhh! I love Yi Chu and I love Brother too! They’re both my babies! If the two people I love most end up together, I’ll work hard to earn money and support sister-in-law!”
“Is the Little Prince of Love Songs really going to be with the fairy Yi Chu?!”
“Ten thousand people sign their blood and beg you to be together!”
Marry his sister-in-law...?
Wang Fei had a vague sense that the voice sounded familiar. His gaze fell toward the source of the commotion, and he spotted a furtive figure appearing beside a girl who looked like a female streamer.
That kid... why did he look somewhat familiar?
“Don’t worry, everyone. If I ever fall in love, I’ll announce it right away.”
Lin Yu hid behind Jiujiu and peeked out cautiously. The sight amused the livestream audience to no end.
“Girl-Who-Likes-Beauties 66: From what we’ve seen on the dating show, this has to be Ah Yu, no question.”
Jiujiu was utterly exasperated. At first, she had thought some lecherous man was trying to get at her. She never expected it to be the same handsome young man from before. Good grief.
What was he hiding behind her for? Was he treating a girl who didn’t even weigh a hundred pounds like a shield wall? With her slight little frame, how was she supposed to look like a shield wall? Tell me that!
Seeing that the viewers in the livestream were all clamoring to see the handsome stranger’s face, Jiujiu herself could not help becoming curious. Was this person really the singer Ah Yu?
If he was... then the popularity of her livestream could reach a whole new height again!
“Little brother, people should help one another. I’ll help keep you hidden, and you help me satisfy my viewers’ request. How about it?”
Only after Lin Yu made sure that Wang Fei had been distracted by the female fans’ shouting did he dare to negotiate calmly with the female streamer Jiujiu.
He was someone who repaid kindness, yes, but he was not someone who did favors lightly.
“Sorry, I can’t.”
Jiujiu looked utterly disappointed. She was a streamer, after all. She had even put on a cute act, and this little brother still would not accommodate her the way the rich patrons in her livestream did?
“So, brother, you’re definitely the singer Ah Yu, right?”
She had already been so earnest about it—couldn’t he just tell the truth?
“Or perhaps... Peerless Lu Bu?”
Lin Yu: ?
What in the world? So he and Peerless Lu Bu were forever going to be tangled together now?
Could it be that everyone who knew him, the very first time they heard his name, would think of Peerless Lu Bu?
That would be truly ridiculous.
By then, would all those lawyer’s letters be enough to work him to death?
Still, if he had a manager... maybe he would not need to worry and struggle over it so much. Lin Yu felt a little awkward. He had only just said this morning that he wanted to terminate the contract. Was there no saving that now?
By this point, he was no longer bothered by the female streamer’s words. He did not even want to continue circling with her and simply denied it outright.
“I’m really not.”
Whatever. He had his own matters to deal with. Where did he have the time to care about someone else’s feelings?
Lie if you want to. If it really comes to it, sue me.
Jiujiu let out a helpless sigh, at a complete loss. What was she supposed to do now? She had no way to give the livestream’s big spenders, especially Miss 66, an answer.
What now? She tilted her head, looking pitiful. The big spenders in the livestream could not resist that kind of coquettish pleading at all, and they immediately sent over several more gifts.
After Wang Fei finished interacting with the fans, his hands were almost rubbed raw. Following a brief exchange with the host, he lifted the microphone and said with renewed brilliance, “Everyone, thank you for your love. Next, I’m going to start singing!”
“Burning Love!!”
The fans cheered fervently. This was the song with the highest listen count since Wang Fei debuted, his signature love song, so to speak.
“Since all the fans want to hear it, then DJ, please. Burning Love.”
Both male and female fans went completely mad. Even the people in the back rows cupped their hands around their mouths, wishing the whole venue were filled only with their screaming.
A soft melody rose.
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. So it was this song?
