PART 3
Tang Yue said, “Then I’ll sing a cappella?”
The show didn’t even provide the guests with costumes; they were all in their own clothes. Tang Yue’s jacket was a bit big.
The thin sweater underneath was a bit too childish, making people suspect it was an enlarged version of Tang Mian’s clothes.
The camera zoomed in, and you could even see a small embroidered cat on the collar, with the same blue eyes as the owner of this sweater.
The wind was a bit strong, and Tang Yue’s bangs were a bit messy. He casually pushed them back, revealing a smooth forehead.
Five years later, on a simple stage, with a not-so-simple audience, almost everyone related to him since he transmigrated was here.
Tang Yue said, “I haven’t been on stage for a long time.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone below shouted, “That doesn’t matter!”
The handsome young man with a somewhat cold and beautiful appearance smiled. He still gave people the feeling of being frozen in the time when Away was still together.
Others had moved on, but he still had his own world.
Tang Yue said, “I’ve sung this song to Xiao Mie before!”
The five-year-old had already found the camera and waved cheerfully, “Hello everyone! I’m Tang Yue’s Xiao Mie.”
Tang Yue said, “Copyright…”
Yao Lixin couldn’t take it anymore. “Don’t worry about that, someone will take care of it—”
[So cute ahhh——] [The production team is so thoughtful!! Isn’t this a concert inserted into a variety show? UL just sang a few songs, the appearance fee must be expensive.] [This probably can’t be calculated that way. They’ve all disbanded, and they can still get together. The investor really has deep pockets.] [I have a feeling Miu Shuhuai is here to annoy Jiang Shulu, hahaha. He won’t even get off the stage, he insists on standing next to Tang Yue. Bro, your acting is a bit too obvious.] [It’s strange, I feel like Tang Yue is very innocent with other people, but with Jiang Shulu… it’s not quite right.] [They’ve already kissed, how can it be innocent! Not to mention, Yao Lixin and that guy from UL also kissed before, but I can’t seem to think of them in that way at all.]
This song is so sweet! With Tang Yue’s voice, a cappella is enough to make me overdose on sugar.] [I get it, Liu Xichao’s flute is to cut through the sweetness.] [Am I the only one still looking at the corner? Why is the camera so sneaky? Is there a problem with the boss watching his wife?]
Tang Yue was very talented.
It’s just that on Planet 9787, the highly developed virtual idols were enough to satisfy most people’s needs, and real people had been eliminated.
Real singers wouldn’t choose this planet. After all, the interstellar world was vast, and other planets had different systems.
If you wanted to see a large-scale concert, you might as well take a spaceship to another place.
Unfortunately, Tang Yue was too poor and couldn’t afford a ticket.
Tang Yue occasionally thought, What if I hadn’t transmigrated? After the planetary collision, would the landfill have been destroyed?
What could I do if I lost my job?
But Tang Yue couldn’t go back now, and he didn’t want to go back. He didn’t know if the original Tang Yue had gone over there.
If you read the music critics’ reviews of Tang Yue, you’ll basically find one sentence: “His voice seems to have the power to create a separate world.”
This is a very abstract description. At first, many people didn’t understand it. Only after listening to Tang Yue’s live performances did they realize that this description was even a bit restrained.
Tang Yue’s vocal range is very wide, his timbre is beautiful, and he has many different vocal lines.
At this moment, his humming was like a sea breeze, combined with Liu Xichao’s flute, everyone’s eyes could only be on him.
After the song ended, the production team quickly released a clip.
The promotion followed, and fans went crazy reposting it, making ordinary netizens who had just scrolled by think it was a music festival somewhere.
They clicked in and couldn’t get out for a long time.
—This song is so good ahhh! A cappella is this good?? —The live version is surprisingly good too? —Who is this singer!! I need to know everything about this person in thirty seconds.
Liu Xichao tilted his head. “Another one?”
He hadn’t been on stage for a long time either. For the past five years, he had been active as an actor.
Even though this was a job he liked, he still missed the days when they were active together.
Tang Yue said, “How about a wedding song?”
Liu Xichao let out an “ah.” “That would be so awkward.”
He had already keenly sensed that something was wrong. Just as he was about to turn around, Tang Yue grabbed his sleeve. “Third Brother, didn’t the boss come to propose to you today?”
Tang Yue was a slow-burn person, and the role of a host would never be given to him.
In the past, fans loved to watch the other members of Away pull the shy Tang Yue, who was trying to reduce his presence, from behind.
It was like a real-life version of pulling up a radish.
Time has passed. The shy youngest member from back then, after five years of seclusion and ten days of travel, has actually learned to cheer.
[The child has grown up.] [I feel like he learned it from Yao Lixin.] [Why not say it was Jiang Shulu who taught him? They can even ship CPs in public now.] [Why are you guys still playing with this meme!!]
The audience below was all cheering, their encouragement very obvious. The guys from UL were even crazier, pointing directly at Jiang He in the camera.
Jiang He was caught off guard. He glanced at Jiang Shulu, then his gaze landed on the camera.
The person silently moved the camera away.
[Don’t make me laugh to death, the boss’s glare.] [But Jiang Shulu is also the boss!!] [This is a dilemma.] [What’s going on? Can you force a proposal?]
Jiang Shulu said, “Little Uncle, didn’t you have a ring prepared?”
Jiang He said, “When did I…”
Jiang Shulu said, “I heard you had your assistant pick up the ring before you left.”
Tang Yue, on stage, couldn’t hear what Jiang Shulu was saying below.
At this time, Liu Xichao also saw Jiang He.
He felt that something was wrong when he was messaging him earlier, and now that he saw him in person, he realized what the “business trip” Jiang He had mentioned was.
It turned out they had arrived one after the other, at the same place.
Tang Yue asked Liu Xichao in a small voice, “Third Brother, didn’t you say you were engaged? Was it a verbal engagement?”
Liu Xichao snorted. “Yes, nothing at all.”
Tang Yue’s whisper was not quiet at all. He was still holding the microphone, and everyone heard him.
In the long shot, Liu Xichao on stage and Jiang He in the corner below were facing each other from afar.
Jiang Shulu, who had just given Jiang He a push with great disrespect, had already retreated and walked to Tang Mian’s side.
He looked like he was happily playing matchmaker.
Perhaps the essence of human beings is to watch others fall in love and then cheer.
The atmosphere on site and in the livestream was exactly the same. Miu Shuhuai directly replaced the sound system and played a generic BGM for engagement and wedding occasions.
Jiang He stood where he was, glanced at the camera, then at Liang Yi, who was off-screen.
He finally understood that he had also become a tool for Liang Yi to promote her younger brother’s marriage.
This was outside of Jiang He’s plan, but if it was outside the plan, how could he have鬼使神差 (guǐshǐshénchāi – as if driven by ghosts and gods) brought the custom-made ring with him?
He had been indifferent when Liu Xichao had hinted at it many times before, and they had almost had a cold war.
This time, the location was unexpected, the time was unexpected, and the people present were also beyond Jiang He’s expectations.
He was a person who disliked lively places.
Unlike Jiang Shulu, who seemed aloof but had grown up in the city and liked that kind of cramped hustle and bustle.
Jiang Shulu walked to Tang Mian’s side and picked up the child.
Tang Mian hugged Jiang Shulu’s arm and asked him, “Uncle Jiang, who is that uncle?”
