Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 180: Making Some Changes Requires a High-Profile Approach

At 6:53, dusk was deepening.

The circular light strip on the dome of the Olympic Sports Center gradually lit up, and the blue and purple halo flowed like a galaxy above the heads of 60,000 people.

"Murphy's Law? Hmm..."

Zhang Jingyi tilted her head as if deep in thought, and then suddenly smiled under Jiang Qing's gaze.

"It seems to make sense."

Jiang Qing smiled, and just as she was about to speak, a scream like a tidal wave suddenly erupted behind her.

The stage's large screen was playing a loop of Wang Sulong's Q-version animation, with a cartoon character wearing headphones jumping and throwing stars, which happened to connect with the giant galaxy-shaped light fixture hanging from the top of the stands to form a band of light.

"Please give way!"

Three girls carrying support boxes squeezed through the aisle. Inside the boxes were transparent cards printed with the lyrics of "Three-Line Love Letters." Jiang Qing reached out to help them steady the swaying boxes, and suddenly felt a cold touch on the back of her neck.

"Dr. Jiang is very helpful."

Zhang Jingyi raised an eyebrow, shaking the chilled soda she had just bought from a stall in the South Square; water droplets still clung to the can.

She wore a light-colored sun-protective shirt, her long hair was hidden in a fisherman's hat, and under the brim was a clean-cut face with light makeup, looking like a girl next door.

"It was nothing, but that's not the point, is it?"

Jiang Qing took the soda she offered, her tone softening.

"The first time was in a quiet bar, the second time was in a coffee shop, the third time..."

"At the ticket gate in the South Square!"

Zhang Jingyi suddenly leaned closer, staring intently at him.

"I recognized you outside just now, the hair that sticks up at the back of your head when you turned around..."

She drew an arc in the air with her finger.

"Exactly the same as the night the bass was released."

"Ok?"

Jiang Qing subconsciously touched the ends of her hair, unable to figure out how she recognized her.

"laugh……"

Zhang Jingyi leaned back and laughed so hard her shoulders trembled.

She didn't expect Jiang Qing to actually believe it; it seems even geniuses can make foolish mistakes.

Jiang Qing instantly realized she had been tricked and couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.

This girl is always very interesting.

Suddenly, electronic sound effects exploded from the direction of the stage, and the glow sticks in the entire venue instantly switched to a blue ocean mode.

The big screen started a three-minute countdown, and the stands looked like a bonfire that had been lit.

Just as Jiang Qing was about to speak, a scream suddenly erupted from the back row.

Thirty drones took off from both sides of the stage, forming an illuminated array of words that read "See you tonight".

Zhang Jingyi excitedly tugged at his sleeve.

"Look! That S-shaped trajectory looks just like the route I took when I was chasing the waves last time!"

The downward curve of her eyes as she spoke was made particularly vivid by the glow stick. Jiang Qing's eyes flickered, and she smiled and hummed in agreement.

"Dr. Jiang, can you predict this?"

Zhang Jingyi pointed with curiosity at the changing array of drones, which were forming a piano key pattern.

"For example, which drone will light up in the next second?"

The countdown roared throughout the venue, and Jiang Qing grabbed her wrist in the last five seconds.

"The 9th aircraft at the 3 o'clock position."

As soon as the words were spoken, the drone that was targeted lit up with a red light and exploded into a heart-shaped dot of light against the black sky.

Zhang Jingyi's eyes widened suddenly, and she gasped. The glow stick slipped from her palm and was caught in mid-air by Jiang Qing.

"How was this predicted?!"

"It is observation."

Jiang Qing lightly tapped the support card in her hand with a glow stick.

"The sudden change in the arrangement of the 47th second of Gravity corresponds perfectly to the switching rhythm of the drone formation."

Zhang Jingyi paused for two seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Dr. Jiang, you actually have the mind to analyze these things while watching a concert!"

She laughed so hard her fisherman's hat tilted to one side.

"I'm going to tell your fans that their Jiang Shen is actually..."

A fierce prelude suddenly erupted, and 60,000 glow sticks were waved simultaneously, creating a sea of ​​stars.

Zhang Jingyi's unfinished words were drowned out by cheers. She suddenly grabbed Jiang Qing's wrist and pulled him to wave a glow stick in rhythm with the drumbeats.

"Follow me!"

She called out in his ear.

"This interlude needs to be drawn in the shape of an eight!"

Jiang Qing's wrist was guided by her to trace a smooth trajectory in the air, with blue light trails and red sea of ​​lights intertwining in their vision.

As the platform slowly rose, Wang Sulong's singing voice echoed throughout the circular stadium.

The opening music is starting.

When she sang "The light in your eyes is my direction," Zhang Jingyi turned her head, her eyes reflecting the colorful ribbons fluttering in the sky and Jiang Qing's profile illuminated by the lights.

She never expected to run into him here.

Originally, I just wanted to take a break because I've been reading new scripts lately.

Three encounters can only be explained by fate, right?

This time, she wanted to make some changes.

Jiang Qing suddenly felt her sleeve being gently tugged, and looked down to see Zhang Jingyi writing words in the air with a glow stick.

"The Third Encounter"

He paused for a moment, then smiled and took the glow stick to add to it.

"It's not a coincidence"

Zhang Jingyi looked him straight in the eye as she took the glow stick, her expression turning serious.

It's fate.

Jiang Qing confirmed the trajectory of her gesture and raised an eyebrow.

He hadn't expected the girl to be so bold today.

Just as they were about to speak, the falling ribbons were suddenly swept up by the stage airflow and swirled into a golden vortex above their heads.

Zhang Jingyi excitedly reached out to grab it, but her fingertips touched Jiang Qing's outstretched hand.

This time, no one dodged, letting the ribbons entangle their intertwined fingers.

The two exchanged a smile and parted ways without a word.

At this moment, both of them were filled with indescribable emotions.

Despite the bustling scene around them, they seemed to exist in their own little world.

In such an environment, it is easy for people's heart rate to increase.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Jingyi raised her support banner to cover half of her face, revealing only her smiling eyes.

"Actually, it's a bit surprising. Dr. Jiang goes to concerts?"

"I was forcibly conscripted by Director Wang to be an audience member."

Jiang Qing shrugged and looked at her sideways.

"It seems Mr. Zhang is a seasoned music fan?"

"I started in junior high school."

"Old Jiang, when did you meet this pretty girl?"

Guo Qilin suddenly poked his head out from the gap in the seat, interrupting their conversation.

"Is this Zhang Jingyi?" He instantly recognized this promising young actress whom Dong Shen was heavily promoting, and was secretly surprised.

How did these two meet?
Zhang Jingyi then noticed that Guo Qilin and the others were all standing to the side. She had been so focused on Jiang Qing that she hadn't noticed them at all.

Li Xueqin and Lamu Yangzi turned their heads in unison upon hearing the sound.

Three pairs of eyes shone eerily bright in the dim light, like an expedition team discovering a new continent.

"Hello everyone."

Zhang Jingyi waved generously, her face beaming with a warm smile.

"I am actress Zhang Jingyi, a student of the 17 class at Beijing Film Academy."

"Ouch!"

Spicy Lamb slapped Jiang Qing's chair back.

"Old Jiang is so unfair! He knows such a beautiful girl but doesn't even introduce her to us!"

Li Xueqin had already taken out her phone and leaned closer to her.

"Can I take a picture with you, little sister? I really loved the part where you sang in 'The Wind Dog'!"

Just as Jiang Qing was about to speak, the venue suddenly went dark.

The opening music had already ended.

In the audience, tens of thousands of glow sticks formed a blue galaxy, and the platform slowly rose with a roar, with a piano placed in front of it.

Wang Sulong's white suit was edged with silver by the spotlight, and his fingertips swept across the piano keys, bringing up waves of cheers.

Hello everyone, I'm Wang Sulong!

"Longlong!!!"

"Go Longlong! We'll always support you!"

……

A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the crowd, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

When the second song started, Wang Sulong finally had time to interact with his fans.

Seeing that Guo Qilin and the others were distracted, Zhang Jingyi grabbed Jiang Qing's wrist and quickly stuffed a mint into his palm.

"nervous?"

Jiang Qing smelled a cool minty scent when she peeled off the candy wrapper.

"It's excitement!"

She stomped her feet lightly to the intro, her hair brushing against his shoulder.

"I could make three of my best friends cry while singing this song, 'Universal Gravitation,' at karaoke!"

"Great!"

Jiang Qing smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

The girl raised her chin, her little expression vividly conveying smugness.

When Wang Sulong sang "Our love is like two stars squinting their eyes," Zhang Jingyi suddenly raised her phone to look at him.

Jiang Qing looked at the two people's profiles illuminated by the glow sticks in the viewfinder and subconsciously tilted her head towards them.

The sound of a camera clicking mingled with the chorus as she looked down to check the photos, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"Should this be titled 'The River God Forced to Perform'?"

"Should I reciprocate with a picture of a rising starlet who failed at her disguise?"

Jiang Qing shook the photo that had been taken at some point; in the picture, she was caught red-handed eating QQ candy.

Guo Qilin suddenly turned around and held up two glow sticks as microphones.

"Would you two like to come up on stage and sing a love song duet later? I think 'A Little Sweet' would be perfect!"

He grinned, but actually wanted to see their reactions.

He still doesn't know what's going on with Sister Meng, and Ye Zi isn't around. As a friend, he has to find out the enemy situation for the two of them!
Zhang Jingyi smiled and gently waved the light stick.

"Please respect the order of the performance!"

But then she quietly gave Jiang Qing half a pack of QQ candies.

She shrank back when she noticed Jiang Qing touching her fingers, a sly glint in her eyes.

Instinctive reaction?

Or perhaps it's because of Senior Zhou Ye?
Is it still that senior student Meng Ziyi?
Wait, I almost forgot one of my favorite characters.

Thinking about it, Dr. Jiang has quite a few rumored lovers, and the girl pouted unhappily.

When the intro to "Geng" started, Zhang Jingyi glanced at Jiang Qing in front of her and stood up along with many fans.

She swayed gently to the melody, observing Jiang Qing, who was also softly singing along.

"Were you this sentimental when you wrote in your first love's yearbook back then?"

She suddenly leaned close to his ear during the interlude.

"The yearbook I received said, 'Develop a robot that can do homework soon,' but I've never written one for anyone else."

Feeling the cool breath of mints on her ear, Jiang Qing carefully put away the support flag that was about to slip down.

What is the most unique graduation message that Teacher Zhang has ever received?

"Let me think."

She pretended to count on her fingers.

“A boy wrote, ‘I hope you can become my exclusive leading lady,’ and later he actually got into the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama.”

"There's another one..."

A sudden burst of screams from the audience interrupted the conversation and drew their attention to the rising platform passing right in front of them.

When Wang Sulong reached out to give a high five to the audience, Zhang Jingyi excitedly joined other fans and leaned half her body over the railing.

Jiang Qing instinctively grabbed her collar, and when she turned around, she realized that their noses were only half a palm's width apart.

"Dr. Jiang's heart is racing."

Zhang Jingyi glanced at his smartwatch; the heart rate number on the screen was fluctuating around 120.

"This is normal given the dangers of high altitudes."

"Look at the big screen!"

Li Xueqin suddenly patted Jiang Qing on the shoulder.

The camera captured the two looking up, and Zhang Jingyi's glow stick, which she had raised halfway, froze in mid-air.

Amidst the sudden burst of cheers from the audience, Jiang Qing smiled and waved at the camera, casually pressing down the glow stick that was about to poke her eye.

"Wow! Who do I see! It's Jiang Shen!"

"Is that Zhou Ye next to him?"

"What Zhou Ye! That's Zhang Jingyi!"

"What's going on? Shouldn't it be Zhou Ye?"

"How did Jiang Shen get to know Zhang Jingyi, and even come to the concert together?"

"Sisters, are your eyesight bad? Those people next to you, aren't they from group 650? They must have come together."

……

Cheers and chatter instantly engulfed the group, and Zhang Jingyi instinctively hid behind Jiang Qing.

Fangfang was pacing anxiously in the back row.

My little darling, you're about to start filming an idol drama!

Amidst the intense attention, Jiang Qing gave Wang Sulong, who was three meters away, a wink, and he immediately understood and raised the microphone.

"Hey, I think I see a few familiar faces!"

All eyes immediately turned to that direction.

Taking the opportunity, Jiang Qing gestured to Zhang Jingyi to sit down, and then straightened her collar.

For now, we have no choice but to be high-profile this time.
