Jiang Shulu took Tang Mian through the VIP channel to enter. They were also given light sticks and banners. Tang Mian obviously still wanted those glowing headbands fans had, pinching the corner of Jiang Shulu’s clothes and asking, “Where can we buy those?”
Jiang Shulu could only call Song Chen to buy a few and bring them back.
The stage was empty, and the front row was almost all acquaintances.
Tang Yue thought Jiang Shulu’s grandparents would come, but after considering it, they didn’t show up.
Liang Yi and Jiang Xiuyun had already taken their seats. As soon as they sat down, Tang Mian was hugged away by Liang Yi.
To Jiang Shulu’s right was Jiang He. To Liu Xichao’s right were Yao Lixin and his wife. Yao Xuanyu also came today, and seeing Tang Mian, he walked over.
The row behind was also full of familiar faces from Chengkong Media, who greeted Jiang Shulu upon seeing him.
Liu Xichao: “Someone will come to call us when it’s time.”
Jiang Shulu nodded. Liu Xichao was a bit nervous, glancing at the man sitting several seats away, seemingly wanting to say hello to him.
The fans in the VIP area were going crazy with excitement. This area was simply a god-tier location.
They hadn’t expected to see so many big-name faces.
Immediately, someone posted a Weibo about running into Sheng Cangyun at the scene.
He was holding a child wearing a mask. The man was slender, and his brows and eyes could only be described as beautiful. His static temperament had no aggression, just an inexplicable sense of distance that made people afraid to step forward and disturb him.
Jiang He noticed Liu Xichao’s excitement and asked with a smile, “You can still get shy?”
This sounded gentle, but to Liu Xichao, it carried provocation. He huffed, “He’s a major senior.”
Jiang He: “He’s coming over.”
Sheng Cangyun led the child over to greet them.
The masked child’s eyes looked very much like Sheng Cangyun’s.
But the red mole under the adult’s right eye looked like a red tear. Even when smiling, there was a hint of loneliness.
After Sheng Cangyun greeted them, the child also called out “Uncle.”
Jiang He had met Sheng Cangyun in a meeting a few days ago and smiled at the child.
But he really wasn’t liked by children, causing the kid to hide back, instead meeting the curious gazes of Yao Xuanyu and Tang Mian.
Tang Mian pulled Jiang Shulu’s shirt. “Can I play with him?”
Jiang Shulu looked at Sheng Cangyun. The other nodded and said to his child, “Go ahead.”
The fans seated around held back their excitement to look at the front row. The looks of this group of people were all extraordinary, making it hard to look away.
Liu Xichao finally struck up a conversation with his idol and even switched seats.
Jiang He sat next to Jiang Shulu and asked, “Is everything ready?”
Jiang Shulu: “Are you worried?”
Jiang He: “I’m afraid Tang Yue will cry loudly on the spot and then make headlines.”
During the waiting time, photos of Tang Yue and some stage photos of Away from past years were scrolling on the stage screen. The scene was noisy, and fans were rehearsing the rhythm of the cheers.
Jiang Shulu: “Then he will definitely cry.”
Seeming to imagine that scene, Jiang Shulu smiled. “Our Xiao Yue looks good even when crying.”
Jiang He was grossed out by the mushiness. He nodded, and Jiang Shulu asked, “What about you, Little Uncle?”
Jiang He: “You aren’t asking me because Tang Yue wants to attend a wedding, are you?”
Jiang Shulu: “That is the case.”
The matter of marriage had always been on Tang Yue and Jiang Shulu’s schedule, but it was really hard to free up time. It would definitely be next year.
Jiang He: “You really are…”
He smiled. “That probably won’t happen so fast.”
Jiang Shulu: “I can sponsor it.”
Jiang He: “It hasn’t come to that point.”
Being the big boss of Chengkong Media, Jiang He didn’t need sponsorship to get married.
It was just that he and Liu Xichao always had differences in this regard. Even though they had exchanged rings and expressed their heartfelt feelings, Jiang He felt that meeting Liu Xichao wasn’t at the best time.
Jiang Shulu heard Tang Yue mention it once. One night, leaning together, Tang Yue asked Jiang Shulu if Jiang He and a certain star were exes.
He also asked if they were blocked by the family and if it ended very uglily.
Jiang Shulu gave a hum.
But it had been too long ago, and Jiang Shulu was a junior, so he only knew the surface.
Tang Yue said at the time, “I think Mr. Jiang is a bit too careful.”
After a while, he sighed with deep bitterness. “But it’s also normal. Although Shulu-ge treats me very well, I still occasionally…”
Jiang Shulu: “Occasionally what?”
Tang Yue: “Just have a doubt about whether I should ask certain things.”
Jiang Shulu: “That is my problem.”
He paused, his arm around Tang Yue’s waist, letting the other rest on his arm, the two sticking very, very close.
Jiang Shulu: “Seems I still haven’t done well enough, making Xiao Yue feel he can’t say whatever he wants.”
Tang Yue: “I didn’t mean that.”
The young man in the crook of his arm blinked under the dim light, his cheeks flushed with wisps of crimson.
Tang Yue said slowly, “My ‘should or shouldn’t ask’ is…”
He stammered, “I… want to… again…”
Jiang Shulu: “Hm?”
The next second, Tang Yue wrapped around him. “Forget about whether you have work tomorrow, can you kiss me first?”
Jiang Shulu covered his eyes, thinking at the time: Such a problem is relatively easy to solve.
At this moment, the stadium was brightly lit. After ticket checking ended, there wasn’t an empty seat in the house.
The screen began the countdown.
Music rang out, and the cheers almost shattered eardrums.
Amidst the cheers for Tang Yue’s entrance, Jiang He heard Jiang Shulu beside him say—
“Then I’m going to get married before Little Uncle. Sorry.”
Jiang He smiled and said, “Your child is already that big, what’s there to be sorry about.”
The live stream effect of this concert was also very good.
The online audience felt the organizer’s wealth. The camera switching was exceptionally smooth. As the foreground swept past, it was almost a line of acquaintances.
A few even made finger hearts at the camera.
“This lineup is too strong!! Saw UL is there, will they go on stage to support?”
“Envy the sisters at the scene, this ticket was worth it.”
“Isn’t Sheng Cangyun preparing to join a variety show? He actually brought his child to the concert.”
“His child is actually sitting with Tang Mian. Brother Mie really knows how to melt icebergs. Wasn’t Yao Xuanyu also a cold type at first?”
“Camera sweep showed too many acquaintances. Chengkong Media is number one or number two in the entertainment industry now, right?”
“You can tell Tang Yue’s concert is top-tier.”
This was Tang Yue’s comeback after five years. Every investment in the concert was top configuration.
Besides Yao Lixin, Chengkong paid a heavy price to invite an overseas mentor for choreography, who was also friends with Yao Lixin.
The best plan was made based on Tang Yue’s current physical stamina, and the arrangement before each song was just right.
The stage effect for Tang Yue’s most famous solo song Planet Fragments was superb.
Old friend groups like UL had heard Tang Yue live many times before, and during the group period, they would also make some collaboration videos.
Raiding Away’s practice room was also common.
Tang Yue’s live performance was truly an enjoyment. The live stream even gave close-ups of the expressions of the invited musicians.
“So shocking!! This sound effect is too awesome.”
“Is Tang Yue really an Earthling or not!! I believe his claim about being an alien.”
“You say he has a sweet voice, but it doesn’t seem that sweet. Several songs with huge differences in style, and I can actually digest them all?”
“Hahaha I saw that famous music critic on Weibo, looking entranced.”
“Am I the only one licking the face? Although many people say Tang Yue doesn’t have that cold vibe after dating Jiang Shulu, this face! It’s just so fairy-like!!”
“Tang Yue, stop blowing up Jiang Shulu’s long hair look later!! You aren’t bad either, okay? Before I thought fans calling you Little Deity was an exaggeration, now I can only say more please, more please.”
