Chapter 117 Is This What Heartbreak Feels Like?

Fortunately, the poster included the location of the recorded video, which made it easier for the two women to find Lin Yu.

The hotel manager, in a hurry, prepared a special vehicle for pick-up and drop-off, terrified that any delay might cost him the partnership with the Ji family—a loss worth millions!

...

Lin Yu bent down and bowed to thank everyone present. The audience wiped their tears as they applauded and cheered, while Wang Fei returned to the stage.

“Everyone, if you were moved, please raise your hand!”

Eighty percent of the audience raised their hands; the remaining twenty percent were still lost in their grief, unable to extricate themselves.

Wang Fei sighed, “Who would have thought that, on the road of life, regrets are never absent. Everyone here has their own story!”

“It’s okay to cry, don’t worry. Whoever made you cry with their song will provide tissues for your tears!”

Eh?! Weren’t you the one who asked me to perform on stage? Honestly, what a sly move!

Who doesn’t know that Lin Yu, the singer, is a master of sad love songs?

Still, despite everything, seeing everyone smile again put Lin Yu at ease. Wang Fei, oh Wang Fei, truly lives up to his title as the Prince of Love Songs. He knows exactly how to capture the audience’s heart and how to adjust the atmosphere!

Seeing that Wang Fei was more than capable of keeping the mood lively, Lin Yu decided to quietly slip away. He didn’t want the organizers to withhold his payment or drag him into a spontaneous fan signing session, which would exhaust him.

But just as he was about to make his escape, someone grabbed him. Wang Fei winked playfully, “Everyone was just saying we should sing a duet. The crowd’s all fired up, so why not?”

I… damn it!

Lin Yu only wanted to kick Wang Fei right then.

This guy already tricked him into singing a new song for free, and now he wanted more? If Lin Yu remembered correctly, he got so caught up in the moment that he sang the song twice. Wasn’t once enough? Two times already—isn’t that plenty?!

Seriously, enough already!!

“Senior Wang, this is your stage, so maybe…” Lin Yu forced a smile, pleading for mercy. This is your show—I won’t steal your thunder!

“Dear audience, Senior Wang has been recording a new song recently. Wouldn’t you like a sneak preview?”

Ha, planning ahead? What, you think only officials can break the rules and the common folk can’t? Lin Yu just debuted a new song, so Wang Fei shouldn’t get away either!!

“What?! There’s a new song?”

“Two unexpected surprises at one music festival?! This is even more thrilling than chasing a five-star champion!”

“Wang Fei! Wang Fei! Wang Fei!!”

“Was the love song written just for me, darling?!”

“Hey, you just now—don’t dream in the dark! Daydreams are for the daytime!”

A ticket to the concert barely cost a tenth of a live show’s ticket price, and now they were hearing two unreleased songs live—who wouldn’t be thrilled?

It was obvious to everyone that the two singers were trying to outsmart each other; but the more they did, the more free songs the audience got to enjoy. Why would anyone complain? It wasn’t their loss!

“Honey! Sing for us!”

That familiar voice again, and laughter erupted throughout the hall.

Seeing the opportunity, Lin Yu put his hand on Wang Fei’s shoulder and grinned, “Brother Wang Fei, your wife’s calling for you from the audience—aren’t you going to sing for your wives?”

“Brother Wang Fei is shy. How about we all give him some encouragement?”

“In a little while, my song will launch on Double Zero Music, and I’ll be competing for popularity with Si Shaozhe.”

“If I lose, I’ll agree to one of his conditions.”

Huh?

A wager?

Now, this was interesting.

Lin Yu beamed at Wang Fei, “If you lose, how about doing a ‘train dance’?”

“Train dance! Train dance!”

The audience responded with enthusiasm and support.

Who doesn’t love watching the train dance? Usually, it’s female streamers who perform it, but seeing the Prince of Love Songs do it would be a fresh twist!

It might be a bit peculiar, but curiosity knows no bounds. Who wouldn’t want to see something new and exciting?

“So, everyone, what should you say to encourage Senior Wang?”

The hall suddenly fell silent, as everyone seemed to forget what to do. Lin Yu mouthed a silent prompt, and someone quickly caught on.

“Of course, we should applaud and encourage our darling!”

“Right! Go, darling! Go, darling!”

Wang Fei was stunned. Come on, folks—I said it was a wager for a new song release. If I sing it now, would you still be eager to listen when it’s officially released? Tonight’s performance doesn’t count towards the wager’s stats!

Can’t you have a little anticipation? A bit of mystery?

“Senior Wang, they’re hoping you lose. Looks like you’ll need to work hard and learn how the female streamers do the train dance.”

---

When Lin Yu leaned in and whispered this, Wang Fei suddenly realized why the male fans were so excited.

Fine, fine, you lot have such peculiar tastes! What kind of fans do I have anyway?!

Other people’s lives matter, but does Wang Fei’s not count for anything? Give me a little dignity, won’t you?!

Lin Yu saw Wang Fei was already lost in the song’s prelude and tried to sneak away again, descending the stage steps into the darkness, only to be blocked by someone.

“Ah Yu, I’ve liked you for a long time. Can I get your autograph?”

Huh? An autograph?!

Oh, come on! Another girl, another roadblock—last time something like this happened, she kissed his cheek!

With so many people on the beach tonight, if anyone saw, wouldn’t he end up on tomorrow’s gossip headlines? The title was practically written: “Singer Ah Yu’s Romance Revealed? Secret rendezvous with a mysterious woman at the seaside concert?”

If that happened, how would he carry on?

But with the fan so enthusiastic, he couldn’t refuse. Otherwise, he’d break a sweet girl’s heart.

Oddly enough, tonight all the ones seeking him out were cute girls. The streamer earlier, this fan now—is he just destined to clash with adorable girls tonight?

“Senior Wang!”

After asking the girl to wait, Lin Yu rushed to the stage, calling out to Wang Fei, “Hold off for a bit—the prelude’s long. Do me a favor, come sign and take a photo.”

“Hey, wait. Even if the prelude lasts half a minute, the audience will get impatient… Wait, why do your fans want me to join the signing and photos? Isn’t that a bit much?”

Wang Fei didn’t want to be a mere supporting act! Who was he? The Prince of Love Songs, half a King…

“Hey, don’t pull me—I’ll go with you!”

Dragged off stage by Lin Yu, Wang Fei called out to the staff as they passed, “Extend the backing track; I’ll be back soon.”

The staff hurried to the stage, switched to a warm-up song, and the livestream viewers grew restless, prompting the host to insert a commercial break.
