Huayu: Starting with binding the front desk

"Aren't you going downstairs?"

Wang frowned slightly, instinctively raised his fist, then quickly stopped and pulled it back.

I almost forgot, this is a concert stage.

Without changing her expression, she took a step closer to Wang Zhe, smiled, and introduced herself confidently: "If you won't introduce me, then I'll do it myself."

Hello everyone! Hello Zheergen! My name is Wang Churan, an artist under Qinghe Entertainment, also an actress, and the older sister of the younger brother next to me.

Wang Zhe turned to look at her, a smile playing on his lips, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Alright, that's all for the introductions. You can go now."

"Wang Zhe, are you treating me differently?"

Wang turned around abruptly and glared at him, her lips pursed, her face full of grievance and resentment.

That's not how it was arranged during rehearsals, is it?

Wang Zhe's lips curled up slightly as he turned to the audience, finally becoming serious and speaking in a gentle tone: "She is my sister, Wang Churan."

We'll be starring together in "Joy of Life" later, so please look forward to it.

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at her and asked, "Are you satisfied now?"

She nodded immediately, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Satisfied."

"If you're satisfied, you can leave now."

Wang's trembling smile instantly turned into one of astonishment.

She couldn't help herself and lightly punched his arm before realizing what was happening and quickly walked off the stage.

The live stream room was now completely buzzing with excitement.

[Help! The way Wang Cherishes raising his hand to hit someone but then stopping himself is so cute! He only instinctively teases and jokes with people he's closest to!]

[I'll do it myself if you don't introduce me! The older sister is so domineering, and the little brother's helpless look is hilarious.]

[The kind of unrestrained fun only you get with your own siblings! Even knowing it's a live stream, they still restrain themselves—so doting yet so restrained, it's irresistible!]

Countless viewers were touched by the natural and intimate way the two interacted, and the number of viewers in the live stream increased visibly.

[Confirmed differential treatment! Wang Zhe treats everyone else normally, but he's both sarcastic and indulgent towards his sister!]

[He just finished criticizing me, then turned around and gently introduced his sister. What a hypocritical little brother!]

[That doting "Are you satisfied now?" His tone softened completely! Who could still ship a purely sibling-like relationship?!]

[Their back-and-forth banter and playful rivalry create an atmosphere that blows all other celebrity couples out of the water! It's even more captivating than the on-screen couples!]

[That pouty, wronged look she gave that glare! She's so adorable; Wang Zhe must have been secretly thrilled the whole time!]

When Wang's startled expression appeared on camera, followed by a light tap on his arm, the live stream chat exploded, with the barrage of comments almost freezing the screen.

[Ahhh, *smacks arm*! They definitely joke around every day in private! Their relationship is incredibly close!]

[The little gestures they couldn't help making on stage! That's the real atmosphere; the sweetest moments are those without a script!]

I could ship this brother and sister pair forever!

  

That final glance back was absolutely stunning! The sheer volume of emotion in his eyes, the subtle nuances—it was simply divine!

[Qinghe and her brother are a perfect match! A cool, aloof young man meets a gentle, mature woman; their playful banter and doting affection create an irresistible chemistry!]

[They're not a couple, but they're like one! Natural and effortless—that's the ultimate atmosphere in the Chinese entertainment industry!]

Of course, there are also dissenting voices.

[Can you please stop forcing us into a couple pairing? We're just collaborating as supporting actors, it's just normal stage interaction.]

[Focus on the stage, okay? There's no need to force a romantic moment; there's no need to overanalyze it.]

Wang Zhe was unaware of the online discussions, and the concert continued.

All the lights in the venue were focused back into a single beam, shining on Wang Zhe in the center of the stage.

He raised the microphone and slowly began, "My new song, 'The Only One'."

This song was released by Accusefive in 2020 and was later covered by G.E.M. in a very moving version.

Tonight, Wang Zhe chose to place it in this position.

"You really understand the definition of 'unique'?"

It's not as simple as breathing.

You really hope you can clarify

How can I explain if we haven't opened our hearts to each other?

There were no elaborate arrangements, no intense rhythms, only his voice, cleanly and simply laid out on every note.

"I know

Love is essentially the same

Because it's crowded

Don't you want to prove that I'm your only one?

Prove that I'm your only one~

During the chorus, he tilted his head slightly, and the light cut a clean outline of his profile.

When the song ended, the venue was silent for a full three seconds before erupting into what was probably the umpteenth round of enthusiastic applause of the night.

Wang Zhe held the microphone and waited for the applause to subside before speaking again: "My first starring film, 'Cry Me a Sad River,' just finished filming not long ago. It's a movie about school bullying."

During filming, I wrote down the song I was going to sing next.

The lights suddenly dimmed and then slowly came back on, the color changing from warm orange to calm sea blue.

""seabed"."

The intro begins, but instead of the oppressive, suffocating atmosphere of the original, it's like a gust of wind.

The wind blowing in from the sea carries a salty taste.

The platform slowly rose, and G.E.M.'s figure appeared in the beam of light. She was wearing a dark blue dress with the hem hanging down to her ankles, as if she had just emerged from the deep sea.

Scattered moonlight pierced through the clouds

Avoiding the crowd

Scales spread across the sea

The waves wet my white dress~

G.E.M.'s voice is incredibly powerful yet gentle; every word seems to be fighting against some unseen abyss.

Wang Zhe did not choose the original version, nor did he directly use the Phoenix Legend version. Instead, he made adjustments to his adaptation approach, combining the core spirit of the two versions.

Although G.E.M.'s voice doesn't have the grand and majestic, peaceful and prosperous feel of Linghua's, the stubborn and almost violent vitality in her voice gives the song a different kind of quality.

Wang Zhe's voice was like an anchor sinking to the bottom of the sea, steadily supporting G.E.M.'s power that seemed to tear the sky apart.

"It's not too late, it's not too late."

You once laughed and cried.

Too late, too late

I'll sing it for you too.

Spring rain, summer cicadas chirping

Tomorrow will be a good day.

Autumn wind rises, snowflakes fall lightly

You can't see the seasons underwater~

The duet was like a beam of light, piercing through the gloom and pulling the whole song out of the abyss inch by inch.

When the last chord ended, the entire audience remained silent for a full five seconds.

Then, as if on the same command, the glow sticks lit up, and 16,000 orange-red lights rose up at the same time. There were no screams, no shouts, only light.

An overwhelming, silent yet scorching light.

G.E.M. smiled, stepped back, and handed the stage back to the true protagonist of the night.

Wang Zhe did not speak immediately.

He stood in that sea of ​​orange-red light for a long time before raising the microphone: "This song is dedicated to everyone who has ever fallen into the sea."

You can't see the seasons underwater, but they are on the surface; there will be tomorrow.

At the climax of the live stream, when the two sang "Underwater" together, the number of viewers exceeded 30 million.

Wang Zhe handed the stage over to G.E.M. and quickly went offstage to change his clothes.

G.E.M. sang a solo song called "Light Years Away".

Her voice was like a beam of light piercing the atmosphere—bright, passionate, and unreserved—capturing the vastness of the universe in this song with effortless grace.

At this moment, in the private room where the women were.

Wang Churan, Tian Xiwei, and Yao Xiaotang finished their respective stage duties, changed into their casual clothes, and came in.

Tian Xiwei walked straight up to Zhou Ye and asked in a low voice, "You didn't tell anyone else, did you?"

Zhou Ye shook her head upon hearing this: "How could I dare? I already told you."

In another corner of the private room, Liu Haocun was gently patting Ren Min on the back.

Since finishing "Under the Sea," Im Min's eyes have been constantly moist, and his shoulders are still trembling.

Liu Haocun pulled a tissue from the table and handed it to him: "Don't cry, or your makeup will be ruined."

While comforting Ren Min, she subtly glanced around the private room.

The female artists at Qinghe are all college students. Their young faces still have a hint of naivety, yet they are already able to appear at concerts with tens of thousands of people.

Just like its name suggests, Qinghe is as gentle as the wind, with seedlings facing the sun, and all the seedlings planted are new generation seedlings.

The words Xu Ying had said to her a few days ago echoed in her ears again.

On one hand, they could stay in the training camp and gamble on that slim chance of being chosen as "a certain girl".

On the other hand, he accepted Qinghe's offer to sign a contract so that he could pay off his family's debts as soon as possible.

When G.E.M. sang the climax of her song on stage, Liu Haocun also hesitated.

As the last note from light-years away faded away, Wang Zhe had already changed his clothes and returned to the stage.

He raised the microphone and announced loudly to the thousands of people below the stage: "Yesterday was Sister Ziqi's birthday, let's celebrate together."

Happy birthday to her!

"Happy birthday!!"

Sixteen thousand voices merged into one sentence, swirling in the air above the stadium.

G.E.M. stood beside him and smiled, "Thank you everyone! Thank you, little brother, for the 'Zergen'!"

As the noise subsided, she turned to look at Wang Zhe and said earnestly, "Little brother, we really are destined to meet. Your birthday is August 17th, and mine is August 16th."

The day I was born was Qixi Festival, and the day you were born was also Qixi Festival.

Wang Zhe smiled and said, "That's quite a coincidence."

"Could I cover your song 'The Only One'?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, G.E.M. got straight to the point, "I love it so much."

"Didn't I promise to write two songs for you?" Wang Zhe didn't immediately give in.

"That was your condition for me to be your guest performer on 'The Coming One' in exchange for two songs. Today, I'm here to be your main guest performer for free. Let's keep things separate."

As G.E.M. spoke, she pouted, and her signature goldfish lips elicited screams from the audience.

Wang Zhe finally laughed out loud and nodded helplessly: "Okay. However, I won't give away the cover song copyright for free."

G.E.M. reached out and slapped him, feigning displeasure in her tone: "You stingy guy."

The audience below the stage didn't pay any attention to their "bargaining" at all; they were still digesting the earlier comment about "guest singers."

Is G.E.M. a guest performer for Wang Zhe on "The Coming One"? And Wang Zhe has performed original songs in every episode from the preliminary rounds to now.

So, the next episode...

There wasn't time to think it through.

Just as G.E.M. was about to leave the stage, the audience erupted in a deafening roar of "Encore!", each shout louder than the last.

They want more than just the next episode; they want to see Wang Zhe and G.E.M. collaborate on stage right now.

Deng Ziqi stopped and looked back at Wang Zhe.

Wang Zhe smiled helplessly: "Sister Ziqi, how about we collaborate on another song today?"
