Chapter 373 Concert Opening: Surprise Appearance of Sister Ning

"Xiaoxiao, here, here!"

July 1st, Bird's Nest, 10 o'clock.

The square was teeming with people. In the past, the square was only crowded when there were events, but now it was packed with people.

There were music fans, fans, internet celebrities and content creators from various platforms, and even several official media outlets.

——Ikeno 2028 Global Solo Concert - Bird's Nest Station.

It was also his "debut" work in his professional career since he became famous.

Given the various major events that have occurred recently, it's not surprising that it's generating this much buzz.

A girl named Xiao Zhang excitedly waved in a certain direction. Liu Xiaoxiao, who was being squeezed and deformed by the crowd with her boyfriend, also saw her at a glance and smiled.

"Xiao Zhang!"

The two met when "My Love from the Star" was airing. Liu Xiaoxiao bumped into Xiao Zhang twice in Xiangnan Street. Later, the two even went to "Jinzhen Furniture" together to check out the same items worn by Professor Chi.

Afterwards, the two, who both felt they were destined to be together, exchanged contact information.

Unfortunately, because they lived in different cities, the two kept in touch online after that incident. However, as Liu Xiaoxiao grew older, got married, and became busy with her family and career, she stopped being a fan of Chi Ye, and their contact gradually decreased.

It was Ikeno who made the two of them inseparable friends; Ikeno was their only topic of conversation on the internet.

Liu Xiaoxiao had always felt a sense of regret because she really liked Xiao Zhang, whose family seemed to be well-off. It was Xiao Zhang who helped her get the concert tickets.

I even got them two tickets at once. Although they weren't the best seats, only in the back row, tickets for the middle row of Ikeno's concerts are already being resold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan on the secondary market.

This shows that Xiao Zhang does indeed have a small amount of income.

“My dear, we’re so glad to see each other again.”

Xiao Zhang excitedly ran over and hugged Liu Xiaoxiao, while her boyfriend watched them with a smile.

"how are things?"

"What else can I do? I'm married, and my family is pressuring me to have children... Ugh, just thinking about it is so annoying. I feel like I'm still a child myself, not ready to be a parent at all..."

The two best friends were chatting away when their boyfriend noticed more people squeezing in from behind and quickly stepped in to protect them, saying, "Let's go inside first, we can talk as we walk."

"Brother-in-law, wow, there are so many people."

Xiao Zhang then remembered to greet them, but was quickly overwhelmed by the waves of people behind him.

Furthermore, many people in the crowd were carrying professional photography equipment, and several of them were internet celebrities who looked familiar to her, but whose body types and heights were slightly different.

"Isn't that Qianqian who doesn't eat cilantro? She looks fatter in person than on Douyin..."

"And that Level 1 appraiser... he's a professional music critic, right..."

"There are so many people today."

"As expected of my brother."

Miss Zhang sighed.

Unlike Liu Xiaoxiao, she is younger, and no matter how much trouble Chi Ye causes, even during the most intense "Jin Xia Incident" during the fan exodus, she has always supported him.

In the eyes of outsiders, it's considered to be at the level of Ikeno's max-level crystal powder, the very pure kind.

Liu Xiaoxiao was a little better than her, but after "Goblin," she realized that she wasn't actually that much better.

There is one person in this world who can make you think about them constantly, feel resentful about them constantly, and feel uneasy about them constantly.

Undeniably, Ikeno has many flaws.

But his talent, good looks, and consistent adherence to ethical boundaries are also dazzling enough.

The saying "one force can overcome all methods" applies not only to martial arts novels. Chi Ye possesses a lot of "force," and when this force is so dazzling that it makes people forgive him time and time again, it already shows that his strengths outweigh his weaknesses.

Liu Xiaoxiao felt that Chi Ye was probably that kind of person. After all, he had experienced such a terrible time in the past. If he didn't have his own "opinions", he might have been forgotten by the Chinese entertainment industry by now.

I would never "know" them.

Today's concert... I wonder if it will be an opportunity to "get to know" him again?

"Xiao Zhang, thank you so much this time... I'm sorry to have troubled you. I've discussed this ticket with Da Bin, and we'll transfer it to you at market price later."

"Oh, no, no, no."

Xiao Zhang smiled and waved his hand: "It's not much money. I did well this month, and my family gave me some pocket money. Even if you don't come to see me, I plan to give it away in a giveaway on the Coconut Super Topic."

Liu Xiaoxiao: "..."

Is this the power of true crystallization powder? I'm impressed!

"But with so many people today... I wonder how well the coconut preparations are going."

Xiao Zhang glanced at the fans and media who had already started entering the venue, and felt a little nervous almost subconsciously, which is a normal feeling for fans.

"It should be fine. Coconut has never disappointed its fans."

Liu Xiaoxiao paused, then added, "In terms of career..."

Xiao Zhang couldn't hold back: "Haha, darling, it seems you're still holding a grudge about what happened this summer."

"...No, I'm a married man, how could I dare to talk nonsense?"

Liu Xiaoxiao waved her hand, then asked curiously, "But what about you, Xiao Zhang? What were you thinking? How could you be such a staunch fan of him back then?"

"Um…"

Xiao Zhang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either. Maybe it's because I'm used to it. And although I'm also a fan of Coconut, I know that there's never going to be anything between us and Coconut, so... I'm probably more open-minded about it."

"Actually, I was angry during that time, but then he aired a lot of high-quality works... I think he was never an idol. It's normal for actors to have their own love lives. They can't keep recording all the time."

Liu Xiaoxiao was nodding as she listened to the first part of the conversation, but when she heard the last sentence, she almost burst out laughing.

"Cough cough."

Her boyfriend was also embarrassed and coughed twice, saying, "Let's go inside first."

"let's go."

"..."

……

at the same time.

Inside the Bird's Nest stadium.

In a relatively forward position, a well-known Douyin influencer was swaying her shapely hips as she followed the crowd to her seat. After finding her place, she looked up and assessed her position, as well as the distance and angle from the main stage, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, this location is very good."

She wasn't talking to herself; she was speaking into her phone.

Yes, all that money was spent and all that noise was made, just for this traffic, right?
Normally, singers don't stream their concerts online. However, in recent years, many internet celebrities and content creators have been doing live performances offline. Of course, the level of internet celebrities who stream offline varies depending on the singer's fame and the size of the concert.

There are practically no other influencers like Chi Ye today, who have captured almost all the major influencers on platforms like Douyin and Bilibili, and who have even been filmed up close and face-to-face with such attention.

Among the many "competitors," the girl with the ID "Qianqian who doesn't eat cilantro" is also a standout.

Because she has a very innocent face, but an exceptionally hot figure. Although she doesn't have the slim waist from TikTok filters in real life, in a time when many men are gradually becoming more aesthetically conscious, this hourglass-shaped, voluptuous figure is clearly more appealing.

Not eating cilantro results in this explosive figure.

At this moment, her live stream audience has reached over 10, and according to her backend data, it's over 32, more than three times her usual live stream audience. And this is before the concert even starts; once the concert begins and Ikeno appears, it's unimaginable how high her popularity will be.

"Good evening, everyone... Yes, the main package is currently in the VIP section at the very front. It was really not easy for the main package to get a ticket, it was almost like selling oneself... But for all of you fans, the main package gritted her teeth and grabbed it."

"How many people are there today... well... how should I put it... you can see for yourselves."

The person who doesn't eat cilantro turned the camera around and casually took a picture of their side and back, but "inadvertently" caught a glimpse of an exaggeratedly deep cleavage on their chest when the camera was turned around, causing the comments section to gradually become chaotic.

Holy crap! What a huge person!

"Master, Master, you're my only connection at the concert!"

"I've followed the fan-favorite package."

"Next time I buy a seat on stage, this is the worst seat I've ever seen on TikTok!"

"I just arrived, do I need to get vaccinated directly or follow a procedure?"

"I'm typing with my tongue right now, what do you think?"

"..."

The comments section gradually became more colorful. The person who didn't eat cilantro was very satisfied with the activity level in the live stream. He didn't care about the chalk messages, he just wanted to keep the fans company and fish them out.

Of course, among the extra viewers in her live stream today, there were probably more female viewers...

"Coconut... Coconut hasn't come out yet, I haven't seen him, and to be honest, there are just too many people at the scene, it feels a bit chaotic... Hmm... I don't have the connections to go backstage and see how his new song is going."

He feigned hesitation, saying, "But it should sound really good... Although the main contributor isn't a professional music critic, Coconut is a top-tier artist after all... Is that right? These dozen or so songs were all recently written? Really? Haters, stop your bashing."

Her expression was very natural when she spoke, and although her tone of voice had a hint of being deliberately for the sake of the show, it was the kind of style that people usually enjoy watching.

Ok…

That's right, not eating cilantro is a seasoned "coconut hater".

She's a professional internet celebrity who gets paid to promote herself. She also sings occasionally. She's a figure who skirts the edge of legality in the music criticism circle. Many celebrities invite her to promote their concerts and create interactive effects.

Some lesser-known singers can't even get her to perform.

——Chiye didn’t invite.

Not only did they not invite her, they also didn't give her an "insider ticket," which she bought herself with a lot of hard work and determination.

However, the person behind her said that all of these expenses would be reimbursed, and that her "promotional deals" would be astronomical after the concert.

Makes a killing!

I'm sorry, Coconut. Although I like your looks and I also like "My Love from the Star" and "Goblin," it's all for the sake of making a living.

We are all living hard!

Thinking this way, without eating cilantro or showing any emotion, she began to actively guide the fans and audience towards the topic of turning the Ikeno Bird's Nest concert into a promotional event for her new album.

"—So many people came to the new album promotion event in person, and so much money was spent. What a jerk."

"There are still too many rich people in China."

"—Hilarious, this streamer is a brainless fan, spending millions just to hear a sound."

"—I found the live stream disgusting and reported it."

The rhythm guidance worked. The person who didn't eat cilantro caught a glimpse of it and was very "angry": "Moderators, kick out all these haters. This room is where we Little Coconuts gather. We are willing to spend any amount of money. We are willing to pay for our idols. You don't understand."

"*****"

The live stream was met with an even bigger uproar.

Sizzle...

Just then, the stage lights at the already packed Bird's Nest stadium suddenly crackled twice.

Immediately afterwards, the big screen lit up.

Despite it being daytime, the excellent equipment instantly silenced everyone.

Da da da.

A series of light footsteps sounded, and then a tall figure with long wine-red hair and red stilettos walked onto the stage, holding a microphone in her hand.

When the fans near the front row saw her, and when the concert camera focused on this woman, the venue was silent for a second, then erupted in cheers—

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Holy crap? Sheng Ning?! Am I seeing things?!"

"Wow, that's incredible! How did Sheng Ning end up here?"

"Sheng Ning is one of today's guests? Holy crap, she and Chi Ye... really reconciled?"

"Wow! This is so beautiful, Sister Ning is totally smitten!"

"Ahhh!! Ningning! Ningning!!"

Sheng Ning's appearance was a complete surprise, because unlike Shi Jinwei, who was already a well-known figure and whose presence was announced at Chi Ye's concert, until the very last second before the concert started, the outside world had no idea that she would be there.

Although Sheng Ning is not a singer in the music industry, her current popularity and influence make her a true national-level female artist and a top-tier celebrity.

After all, she was once the top of the "Four Little Actresses" and even collaborated with Ikeno on "Flu," which made her a global sensation.

Coupled with her past "feuds and scandals" with Ikeno, her appearance immediately created a sensation.

Sheng Ning was quite satisfied with the reaction at the concert, even though she never said it. In fact, she only came because Chi Ye called her, and since she had nothing else to do, she decided to come.

That's it.

"Ahem... Good afternoon, everyone."

Walking to the center of the stage, Sheng Ning picked up the microphone, and her slightly harsh but exceptionally striking face appeared in front of the camera, with the same visual impact as Chi Ye.

"Well... I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, I'm not the guest performer today."

After saying that, she waited for the audience to react for a while before continuing, "I was invited by Mr. Ikeno to be the host of this concert... This is my first time hosting, so I don't have much experience. I hope everyone will be understanding."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in screams.

"Lemon! Lemon!"

Has summer arrived yet?

"Sister Shang is here too? Who else is here?"

"Are we going to gather all four little beauties today?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning surprisingly joked, "Well... I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, none of the people you wanted to see came."

"Hahaha."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"but."

Sheng Ning changed the subject, her phoenix eyes looking at the audience: "The songs you most want to hear, we have them all today..."

"Let's welcome Mr. Ikeno, the star of today's concert, to the stage."
