Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

……

……

"Boss, should I communicate with Ms. G.E.M.'s team in advance to confirm the chorus process and repertoire?"

"Okay, you can get in touch with them."

Gu Qing nodded. "For the song 'Peach Blossom Promise,' ask Sister Ziqi how to divide it into sections and whether we need to rehearse in advance."

If time permits, I can go and take a look around tomorrow afternoon.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

Zhao Ya took out her phone and started making contacts.

Gu Qing pushed open the door and entered the suite.

The air conditioning was already on in the room, and the temperature was comfortable and pleasant.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the night view of Shanghai is spread out before you, with thousands of lights twinkling like a silver river scattered across the earth.

Gu Qing sat down on the sofa, took out her phone, and opened a music app.

Search: Peach Blossom Promise.

"[At first sight, tender feelings linger; vows are made, like the wind blowing and the clouds drifting.]"

As time goes by, I wonder what year it is tonight.

With hearts in harmony, I hope that my obsession and the cycle of reincarnation will continue for many years.

In the blink of an eye, how many times have flowers bloomed and faded...?

The prelude begins.

This is a song in the ancient style, with a melodious and gentle tune, carrying a touch of sadness. In the soothing rhythm, it slowly pours out a hazy and deep sorrow.

G.E.M.'s voice sounded particularly affectionate, and when she sang the chorus, her powerful vocals as a strong singer were perfectly showcased.

The climax of the song:
"An inch of soil, a year of wood, a flower, a tree, a greedy pursuit."

Feelings are a kind of thing, but love often blossoms in the wrong direction.

Forget the road ahead, forget the old things, forget your heart, forget you, forget the beginning.

The mottled patterns remain on the path of loving you.

It has been a frequent feature in ancient-style short video editing for the next few years, and it is also an essential part of the CP must-eat music list.

Gu Qing listened to the entire song and nodded.

Great song.

It's true that bad movies often produce amazing songs.

He listened to it again, practiced singing in his room for an hour, and immersed himself in the emotions in the lyrics.

Gu Qing originally wanted to watch the TV series to get a feel for the characters and help her immerse herself in the story.

result,

I only watched a few clips before I was so disgusted by Huang Xiaoming's greasy acting that I immediately quit.

"The oil painting technique has reached a state of perfection!"

"Can the media criticize my senior sister Song Qian for being expressionless and having no acting skills?"

"Without facial paralysis, who can resist the attire of Tarzan, the master of the Yellow Sect, and those sexy armpit hairs?"

At least, Gu Qing couldn't hold back.

His senior sister also had a very difficult life.

At the height of the Korean wave's popularity in China, she focused on the South Korean market.

As a result, after the Korean wave was spontaneously boycotted by the public, he returned to his home country and pursued a career as an actor.

It's quite something that they missed out on both waves of benefits.

Gu Qing turned off the tablet and practiced dancing in her room for a while to maintain her body's coordination and flexibility.

……

Zhao Ya has always been very efficient.

By the time Gu finished washing up, she had already received Zhao Ya's reply.
She has already coordinated with G.E.M.'s team and confirmed the process and details of the duet.

"Boss, Ms. Ziqi said that the rehearsal can be scheduled for 4 pm tomorrow at the Mercedes-Benz Arena backstage. Someone will take you there then."

"By the way, boss, Brother Xu has already edited and posted the tweet about your birthday, and the fans' response has been very enthusiastic."

"Okay, I understand."

Gu Qing lay in bed, leaning against the pillows, and opened her blog.

As Zhao Ya said,

Several topics about him are still trending on the hot search list.

Things like #GuQingBirthdayPartyOnlineLivestream#, #GuQingDonatesAll30YuanTicketsToCharity#, #GuFamilyFansAreGood#...

The popularity remains high.

Even though there are still nearly twenty days until the birthday party, as long as Gu Qing is involved, the hype is bound to be high, let alone a 'big event' like a birthday banquet.

The comments section under the account was also filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

[This brother is amazing! He only needs 30 yuan to watch the live stream! And he donated the entire amount to charity!]

This is what a true idol is! Not someone who exploits fans, but someone who leads them in doing charity work!

I've prepared thirty yuan! Little brother, wait for me!

[The Han Hong Foundation is reliable! My brother made a great choice!]

Those who throw birthday parties to fleece their customers should learn from this!

The overwhelmingly positive reviews left Gu Qing feeling a bit bored.

He mischievously used a alternate account to browse through Chris Wu's fan page.

as predicted,

Many of his fans are already discussing his birthday dinner plans.

[Why is Gu Gou pretending? Isn't it just to create a persona?]

"That's it!"

The very first sentence after entering the super topic made Gu Qing smile with satisfaction.

[Yeah, 30 yuan to watch a live stream, isn't that how you make money?]

Those maids who wash feet are so foolish; they donate to charity, who knows whose pockets they'll end up in?

[No rush, let's wait until His Highness's birthday in November, then let Gu Gou see what a truly high-quality idol who understands how to care for their fans really looks like!]

[Support! We hope Your Highness will host a free live stream so we can feast our eyes!!]

The fans cheered and were excited, hoping that their princess would give Gu Qing a good slap in the face, preferably with a charity live stream.

"Chris Wu doing a charity live stream?"

Gu Qing chuckled to himself; he was actually quite looking forward to seeing what November would be like.

He took a screenshot and sent it to Xu Wei, saying, "After my birthday party, I'll buy a trending topic for these Meigeni fans, hoping that their prince can hold a free charity live stream."

Gu Qing decided to be a good person and help the lovely Megnis pass on a message.

If Chris Wu is really willing to do a charity live stream and make charitable donations, Gu Qing is happy to be proven wrong.

But if you can't do that,

Gu Qing was very much looking forward to seeing just how much these Megni could be purified and tamed.

After that,

Gu Qing scrolled through the screen for a while longer, but found it uninteresting. After replying to some messages from friends, she put her phone down.

Sister Zhao is currently making her way into the film industry. She told me she's busy filming a movie called "Secret War" with Aaron Kwok, which is nearing completion.

Shishijie is also deeply involved in ancient costume dramas, and is currently filming a fantasy drama called "Lost Love in Times," which is still directed by Lin Yufen.

The co-stars are Chen Weiting and Han Xue.

It is worth mentioning that,
In her message, Liu Shishi was still mocking Gu Qing, asking if the rumors about him and Chen Weiting were true. How come she didn't know that her little Qi Yu had come out as gay?

Gu Qing ignored her, only sending her a picture of a pistol being aimed, intending to kill her.

after that,

Liu Shishi then asked him for an autographed photo, saying sourly, "Sister Hanxue told me that she's a fan of yours and asked me to get a few autographs from you."

Ideally, you could collect autographed copies of all the dramas you've acted in before; she really loves your shows.

"How come you have such a charm? Even Sister Hanxue talks about you like a little girl."

Liu Shishi's words were laced with jealousy.

Although both are born in the 80s, Han Xue is considered a more popular version of Jing Tian in the industry. She has played several classic roles and is a few years older than Liu Shishi, making her a senior in the film industry.

Although Hanxue's resources are not as good as Jing Tian's, she lives a very comfortable life in the industry. There are no brainless capitalists or directors who would dare to engage in any kind of unspoken rules.

If I had to point out a flaw in her record, it would be the lip-syncing incident that occurred during the filming of "White Night" due to acute pharyngitis.

But during that period, even singers lip-synced at their concerts.

The most famous one is probably the lead singer of a certain Tianyuewu. He has a great voice when he plays the microphone, and his pitch is perfect. He is even better than singers and dancers.

As for the so-called "grandpa joke," it might also be a way to protect oneself.

after all,

This is the entertainment industry; there are always people whose brains are controlled by their younger brothers.

"Senior Sister, no matter how charming you are, Senior Sister Han still has to ask you for my autograph."

Gu Qing sensed Liu Shishi's slight jealousy and replied with a smile, "Send me your address, and I'll send it to you when I have time."

"Hmph, you pass, kid."

On the other side, Liu Shishi, who was filming late at night on set, spoke with a tough tone, but her pretty face was already flushed, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but turn up. The blue and white embroidered shoes she was wearing were stuck together and swayed slightly.

……

After replying to the message and putting down her phone, Gu Qing suddenly felt sleepy.

They said they'd send a group photo.
Should he prepare something before attending G.E.M.'s concert?
Gu Qing thought for a moment, then, fighting off sleepiness, picked up her phone and asked, "Sister Xiaoya, when we go to the rehearsal tomorrow, should we send a flower basket as usual?"

"Boss, I was afraid of bothering you, so I was planning to tell you tomorrow. Generally speaking, if we have a good relationship, I would send a flower basket."

Zhao Ya quickly replied, "Should we add a small gift? I just looked through Teacher Ziqi's blog, and she seems to really like plush toys."

"Sister Xiaoya, you can buy whatever you want. I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to bed now."

Gu Qing rubbed her eyes and went to sleep.

……

The following day, at 3:30 PM.

Gu Qing arrived at the backstage area of ​​the Mercedes-Benz Arena on time by car.

This was the first time he had attended a concert as both an audience member and a guest.

To be honest, he has never held a concert before, so this is a good opportunity for him to observe and learn.

The stage layout, the lighting and sound coordination, and the rhythm of audience interaction—every detail is worth considering.

Even though the concert doesn't start until tomorrow, the area around the venue is already filled with all sorts of tents.

Colorful tents crowded together in the square like mushrooms, some with banners supporting G.E.M., others with photos of G.E.M.

Some were playing her songs. Many fans were wearing matching support outfits—

The bright yellow T-shirt had the words "Fisherman" printed on it and a cartoon image of G.E.M. (Gloria Tang).

Holding up light boards and banners, they chattered about tomorrow's playlist. Some were even rehearsing their cheering slogans, over and over again, as seriously as if they were preparing for a final exam.

"Jie Jie! Will Jie Jie sing 'Bubble' tomorrow?"

"Of course! Which concert doesn't feature 'Bubble'?"

"I heard there's a surprise guest this time, I wonder who it is..."

Gu Qing's car drove by slowly. The windows were tinted, so no one could see who was sitting inside.

Just then—

"Jie Jie?! Ahhh!!! How did Jie Jie get out?!"

A sudden scream erupted, nearly shattering Gu Qing's eardrums. He subconsciously recalled the time when fans almost overturned his car, and he felt inexplicably panicked.

Looking through the car window, he saw that G.E.M. herself had led her staff and security personnel out of the side door.

She was still dressed in a rebellious leather outfit today—the black tight leather jacket accentuated her petite yet shapely figure, and the leather pants hugged her signature short legs.
She has a cute and innocent round face, but her style is incredibly cool.

This unexpected charm is probably what makes her unique appeal.

The fans went wild, snapping photos with their phones, some even bursting into tears.

But the next second, their screams turned into confusion—

After G.E.M. came out, she didn't walk towards the fans. She just waved and then stood at the door, tiptoeing and looking into the distance, as if she was waiting for someone.

A luxury van slowly came to a stop not far away.

The moment the car door opened, a dense crowd of security personnel quickly surrounded the area, forming human walls on both sides.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge flower basket—as tall as a person—carefully woven from pale pink and white flowers, with a gold-embossed greeting card that reads "Wishing G.E.M.'s concert a complete success."

Next came the gift box carried by the assistant.

The car door opened.

Gu Qing got out of the car.

A white shirt and black casual pants—clean and refreshing. Sunlight falls on his profile, outlining his superior facial features.

that moment--

Even the screams from G.E.M.'s die-hard fans, the "Fishermen," were no quieter than when they actually saw their idol.

"Gu Qing?! It's Gu Qing's younger brother?!"

"Why is he at Jie Jie's concert?!"

"He's definitely a guest! Jie Jie really likes him!! Have you guys forgotten what Jie Jie said in her previous interview?"
She said she's been watching "Love O2O" lately and is completely smitten with Xiao Nai!

"Oh my god!!! Both fans are overjoyed!!! Jie Jie has successfully chased her idol!!"

The fans went crazy.

All the phone cameras turned to snap photos, and the shutters clicked away in rapid succession.

Gu Qing smiled and waved to the fans around her. Her smile was gentle and polite, like the warm sun in spring.

G.E.M. couldn't contain herself any longer.

She rushed over in two strides, moving as fast as a whirlwind, the hem of her leather jacket flying up.

She ran up to Gu Qing, grabbed his hand, and jumped up and down excitedly.

"Little brother!!! You really came!!!"

Gu Qing stumbled as she was pulled, but steadied herself with a smile: "Sister Ziqi, I won't be late either."

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'll take you backstage!"

G.E.M. grabbed him and ran toward the side door, completely ignoring the fans who were still screaming wildly behind them.

The security guards quickly followed and formed a human wall on both sides.

The screams of the fans followed them all the way to the door.
"Gu Qing, take good care of our Jie Jie!"

"Jie Jie! Did you get the autograph you wanted?!"

"I'm going to live in this super topic tonight!!!"

……

The side door was closed, shutting out the noise from outside.

Deng Ziqi slowed down, turned around, and looked at Gu Qing with bright, sparkling eyes, as if they were filled with stars.

"Little brother, you're here?!"

She still had some disbelief, as if the person in front of her was an imposter.

Gu Qing couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like that.

“Sister Ziqi, your expression makes it look like I just came back from Mars.”

"It's even rarer than coming back from Mars!"

G.E.M. said matter-of-factly, "Do you know how hard it is to book you? Your schedule is booked until next year! I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect you to actually agree!"

As she was speaking, she suddenly saw the huge flower baskets and gift boxes that her assistants were carrying behind her, and her eyes widened instantly.

Wow!!! Little brother, you brought a gift with you?!

She let go of Gu Qing's hand, skipped and hopped to the assistant, circled the flower basket twice, and couldn't hide the surprise on her face.

"What a beautiful flower basket! How many roses must that have?"

Then her gaze fell on the gift box.

"Teacher Ziqi, this is a gift the boss prepared for you."

Zhao Ya handed it over at the right time.

G.E.M. took it and opened it—

A beautifully crafted, limited-edition Bearbrick bear, entirely matte black with gold star patterns, cool yet adorable.

"Wow--!!!"

G.E.M.'s scream almost knocked the lights off the corridor.

She hugged the bear, her goldfish lips involuntarily pouting. She raised her charming face, looked at Gu Qing, and grinned foolishly with happiness.

"Haha, little brother, how did you know I like this?! Bearbrick! And it's a limited edition! I have so many, but I'm missing this one!"

She hugged the bear and jumped around.

Gu Qing subconsciously glanced at Zhao Ya beside him.

Zhao Ya blinked, her lips curving slightly upward, her expression clearly saying: Boss, you're welcome.

"My assistant bought it," Gu Qing said truthfully, her tone frank.

"Yes, Sister Ziqi,"

The young boss was too clueless and didn't understand, so Zhao Ya immediately stepped in and added with a smile, "The boss specifically asked me to pick this last night. He said he wanted to give Sister Ziqi a special gift for her concert."

I looked through your blog and saw you posted a lot of photos with Bearbrick, so I figured buying this would be a good idea.

She wasn't lying—Gu Qing really did ask her to buy it.

"Little brother... thank you..."

After hearing this, Deng Ziqi hugged Gu Qing's arm very tightly.

"Uh…"

Gu Qing looked a little embarrassed.

Although G.E.M. is petite, she has a standard pear-shaped figure, with all the right curves.

The curves sculpted by the leather jacket clung tightly to his arm, and the soft, full touch was clearly felt.

It's not that I have any improper thoughts, it's just...

The enthusiasm of this veteran singer really exceeded his expectations.

To be honest, Gu Qing felt a little embarrassed by Deng Ziqi's emotional reaction.

after all,

Zhao Ya really put a lot of effort into choosing the gift.

He was so sleepy last night that his eyelids were drooping. He mumbled "Just buy whatever you think is best" and went to sleep without ever really looking into it.

As he enjoyed G.E.M.'s gratitude and embrace, he felt a subtle sense of "claiming credit for someone else's work."

Zhao Ya's actions reminded Gu Qing of a video he had seen online in his previous life.

An assistant working in the entertainment industry complained that as an artist's assistant, they have to help manage accounts, reply to fans, and handle various interpersonal relationships.

Sometimes, what fans love isn't the artist at all, but the assistant behind the artist.

At the time, he thought that statement was a bit of an exaggeration.

Now...

"Sister Ziqi,"

Gu Qing tried to pull her arm away, but couldn't. Now she was too scared to move at all. "Shall we go to the rehearsal now?"

"Okay! Let's go now!"

G.E.M. finally let go, but the bright smile on her face never faded.

She held Bearbrick in one arm and pulled Gu Qing along with the other, walking towards the stage.

Behind them, the assistants exchanged bewildered glances.

Was that bear just carried to the rehearsal like that?

...On stage, the staff are making final adjustments.

Lights, sound system, lifting platform, large screen... everything is proceeding smoothly.

G.E.M. carefully placed Bearbrick on a high stool next to the stage and even adjusted the angle so that it could "see" the entire rehearsal process.

“Be a good boy and watch your big sister perform here,” she said to the bear.

Gu Qing: "..."

Does Jie Jie really treat this bear like a younger brother?
The rehearsal officially began.

G.E.M. first explained the concert's flow to Gu Qing in detail—which song would be the opening track, how the interludes would be designed, which songs would have interactive segments, when to change clothes, and when to coordinate with the band.

When it came to the guest segment, she picked up the microphone and cleared her throat:
"Next, I will say—'This person is an actor I really, really like, and he is also my idol.'"

Then I'll turn around and look towards the backstage area. At that moment, the lift will bring you up.

She gestured: "After you come up, don't rush to sing. Make eye contact with me, smile, and then walk to the center of the stage together."

Let's start singing once the applause has subsided a bit.

Gu Qing nodded, silently noting down every detail in her mind.

He had listened to the song "Peach Blossom Promise" countless times last night, and he knew the melody and lyrics by heart.

To get into the groove, he even practiced singing in his room for over an hour, repeatedly pondering the emotions in the lyrics.

This song tells the story of a poignant and unrequited love.

"Little brother, shall we try it out first?" Deng Ziqi picked up the microphone, eager to give it a go.

Gu Qing nodded and walked to the elevator platform.

The staff pressed the button, and the lifting platform slowly descended and then slowly rose again.

Gu Qing appeared on the stage.

G.E.M. turned around and looked at him.

The music is ringing.

"The first meeting was tender and lingering, vows were made, and the wind blew and the clouds drifted away..."

Gu Qing spoke, her voice clear and melodious, carrying a hint of sadness, perfectly matching the mood of the song.

G.E.M. listened from the side, her eyes filled with surprise.

She knew Gu Qing's singing skills—after all, she was a professional singer, and the four songs she sang for "Love O2O" are still on various music charts.

But hearing him sing live is a completely different experience.

The texture of that voice, the emotional immersion, the control over breath...

It was even better than she had imagined.

When it was G.E.M.'s turn to sing, her powerful and penetrating voice instantly soared, pushing the song's emotions to a climax.

Gu Qing listened from the side and couldn't help but admire him secretly.

G.E.M.'s voice is not as soft and clear as that of traditional female singers; instead, it has a powerful quality.

That explosive power, that penetrating force, is something that most singers can hardly achieve.

His own voice, on the other hand, is quite the opposite—clear and gentle, and after professional training in opera singing, his high notes are clear and bright, with a neutral and gentle beauty.

Two completely different voices collide and blend in this song, creating an unexpectedly harmonious effect.

After they finished singing, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"That was so much fun!"

G.E.M. couldn't help but exclaim, "Little brother, you sing so well!"

This feeling is truly wonderful.

For a singer, being able to sing with a partner and enjoy it immensely is like finding a kindred spirit.

"Let's do it again!" G.E.M. said enthusiastically.

So, they sang it again.

Let's do it one more time.

Let's do it one more time.

She sang it four or five times before finally stopping, still wanting more.

But she didn't give up. Instead, she started to think about the interactive details on stage.

“Little brother, look, when we get to the chorus, we can do this…”

She pulled Gu Qing along and began to plan their moves.

“When singing ‘An Inch of Soil,’ you take two steps forward and I take two steps back, which creates a sense of chasing.”

Gu Qingzhao did it.

“When we sang ‘Love is a Kind,’ we walked back to back, each going our own way, and then slowly turned back to face each other.”

Gu Qing continued to do as instructed.

"When I sang the last line, you came over and took my hand."

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment.

Holding hands?

He looked at G.E.M. with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Does this match the song?

G.E.M. patted her ample chest and declared confidently, "I directed and starred in all my music videos! You have to trust my judgment, little brother! They're a perfect match!"

Gu Qing: "..."

Fine.

Anyway, you're the director, so you call the shots.

So, rehearsals continued.

They looked into each other's eyes, held hands, gazed deeply into each other's eyes, and finally looked into the distance together...

G.E.M. meticulously planned every detail, and her smile grew brighter and brighter until she grinned like an idiot, showing no trace of the image management expected of a female celebrity.

G.E.M.'s team watched from the sidelines, feeling both frustrated and helpless.

The headache is that if our own artist's infatuated behavior is captured on camera and posted online, it will become another trending topic.

Unfortunately, there was nothing we could do to stop it.

but……

Considering that Gu Qing's appearance as a guest will generate a lot of buzz and discussion afterward, it's certain that it will be quite a lot.

Major marketing accounts have definitely already started writing articles, such as "G.E.M. and Gu Qing sing together on the same stage", "Iron-voiced diva meets ancient-style male god", "A divine collaboration in 'Peach Blossom Promise'"...

This surge in traffic is guaranteed.

Thinking of this, they secretly began to look forward to it again.

……

After the rehearsal, Gu Qing didn't stay long.

He still has other commitments to attend—several business events in Shanghai, all of which have been under contract for a long time and cannot be postponed.

"Sister Ziqi, I'm leaving now." He waved to Deng Ziqi.

G.E.M. stood by the stage, holding the Bearbrick, her face filled with reluctance.

"Little brother, be careful on your way, don't be late tomorrow."

"must."

Gu Qing smiled, turned and left.

Deng Ziqi stood there, watching his figure disappear at the end of the passage before turning her gaze away.

Looking down at the bear in her arms, she suddenly smiled again.

"See you tomorrow night, little brother."

She said to the bear.

……

The following day, at 7:30 p.m.

The Mercedes-Benz Arena was packed to capacity.

The stadium, housing tens of thousands of people, was illuminated by colorful glow sticks. From a distance, it looked like a flowing galaxy, almost unreal in its beauty.

Gu Qing sat in her exclusive front-row VIP seat, enjoying the atmosphere of the concert.

Next to him was Zhao Ya, who was holding a glow stick and excitedly screaming along with the fans around her.

"Boss! Boss! This atmosphere is amazing!"

Gu Qing smiled and nodded.

To be honest, this feeling is really novel.

In the past, when he performed on stage, he wore an in-ear monitor and listened to the feedback of his own singing and the instructions from the director.

The cheers and screams from the audience sounded somewhat muffled, as if through a membrane.

Now, actually sitting in the audience, alongside ordinary viewers, the exhilarating feeling is truly immersive.

The screams, cheers, and applause around him surged in wave after wave, engulfing him completely.

He suddenly understood why so many people were willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to see a concert.

This atmosphere, this resonance, this feeling of being immersed in the same song with thousands of others—

just perfect.

The lights suddenly went out.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

Then, a spotlight shone on the rising platform in the center of the stage.

G.E.M. slowly rose up.

She changed into a new outfit today—still a leather jacket and pants, but this time it was silver, sparkling under the lights like a star that had fallen from outer space.

The entire venue erupted in cheers.

Screams, cheers, and applause blended into a deafening roar.

G.E.M. stood in the center of the stage, flashing a bright smile at the thousands of fans below.

"Shanghai! Here I come!!!"

Her voice was incredibly powerful; her powerful lungs carried through the speakers to every corner of the venue.

Another burst of wild cheers erupted.

Gu Qing was offstage, clapping along to the rhythm, chatting and laughing with Zhao Ya, who was completely immersed in the atmosphere and screaming non-stop.

"Sister Xiaoya, going to a concert is just different!"

"Right, right! Boss, you should come to these kinds of places more often and experience the everyday life!"

Gu Qing nodded with a smile.

The G.E.M. on stage is completely different from the silly little girl hugging a bear and laughing yesterday.

At this moment, she was wearing a silver leather jacket, and despite her petite stature, she exuded an extremely strong sense of power. Standing under the spotlight, she commanded the entire stage and the emotions of tens of thousands of people.

She belongs here.

It belongs to the category of spotlights.

It belongs to the cheers of thousands upon thousands.

Gu Qing couldn't help but be tempted.

Oh no, he wants to hold a concert too.

……

The concert was halfway through.

Gu Qing has been featured on camera several times – every time the director switches to the VIP seats, his face appears on the big screen, and then the whole audience screams again.

After G.E.M. finished singing a song, she stood in the center of the stage, looking at the audience with a mysterious smile on her face.

"For the next song, I'd like to invite someone to sing with me."

A commotion broke out in the audience.

"Gu Qing? Is it Gu Qing?"

"I just saw him leave with the staff!"

"It's definitely a guest! It's definitely one!"

Hearing the comments from the audience, G.E.M. smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, a sweet smile on her face.

"This person is an actor I really, really like, and he's also my idol."

She paused, a hint of pride in her voice:

"He came here today specifically to support my concert."

Let's give a warm round of applause to welcome—

She turned around and said loudly:

"My Super Star—Gu Qing!!!"

The whole place erupted.

The screams nearly blew the roof off the stadium.

The lifting platform slowly rose.

Gu Qing appeared on the stage.

His simple casual outfit did not diminish his temperament and charm at all; he seemed to be shining when he stood on the stage.

He walked to the center of the stage.

G.E.M. reached out and took his hand.

The two stood side by side.

Below the stage, glow sticks were waved wildly, like millions of stars dancing.

Gu Qing glanced at the hand being held, smiled at her, and then used her free hand to turn to the audience and wave gently.

"Hello everyone, I am Gu Qing."

Another burst of frantic screams followed.

G.E.M. covered her mouth and laughed, waiting until the screams subsided a little before saying:

"Alright, alright, stop calling me, or I'll get jealous."

A burst of good-natured laughter erupted from the audience.

"Okay, okay, stop fooling around."

G.E.M. picked up the microphone and took a deep breath:

"Next, my brother and I will perform a song for you—'Peach Blossom Promise'."

The prelude begins.

The noise in the venue gradually subsided.

The venue, which held tens of thousands of people, was so quiet that you could almost hear your own heartbeat.

Gu Qing picked up the microphone and spoke:
"The first meeting was tender and affectionate, the vows were as swift as the wind blowing and the clouds drifting."

As time goes by, what year is it tonight?

His voice was clean and clear, with a touch of sadness, which perfectly matched the mood of the song.

Every word seems to flow from the depths of the heart, carrying warmth and emotion.

G.E.M. listened with her head tilted to the side, her smile overflowing, her eyes fixed on Gu Qing, unable to look away.

She suddenly felt that Gu Qing looked a hundred times better when she sang than usual.

That focus, that dedication, that state of completely surrendering oneself to the music...

So captivating.

When it was her turn to sing, she took a deep breath and began:
"With hearts in harmony, I hope that my obsession and reincarnation will last for years."

In the blink of an eye, how many times have flowers bloomed and faded?

His powerful vocals instantly soared, pushing the song to its climax.

The audience below the stage listened with rapt attention.

Then comes the chorus.

Gu Qing took two steps forward.

Just as G.E.M. had planned, he turned his head, lowered his head and looked down to meet her gaze.

Those eyes held the sorrow of the lyrics, the melancholy of unrequited love, and a deep, tender longing.

"This...isn't right?!"

G.E.M.'s mind went blank for a moment.

Those eyes seemed to speak volumes, conveying all their emotions.

The moment their eyes met, she felt as if she were being sucked into her.

This is not the Gu Qing from the rehearsal.

During rehearsals, Gu Qing sang very well, but she was mostly "performing".

But now, he has truly brought his emotions into it.

The actor's professional-level skills brought the emotions in the song to life, showcasing a unique charm through every micro-expression on his face and every subtle change in his eyes.

That kind of charm is just too deadly.

G.E.M.'s face turned red at a visible speed.

She paused for a second.
