Chapter 728 Love is as you are

In mid-December, Guangzhou is not as bleak as winter.

The moist southerly wind dispersed the cold front that had been lingering in the north, and also dispersed the media storm that had swept the globe, triggered by the Golden Globe Awards.

At least, that was the case for Wu Chen, who was at the center of the storm.

While movie fans around the world were still discussing it, he and Liu Yifei quietly appeared at Zhang Liangying's concert at the Guangzhou Stadium.

The huge stadium was packed to capacity.

The blue glow sticks formed a undulating ocean.

The two sat in the VIP seats, wearing masks, looking like two ordinary fans, mingling in the bustling crowd.

When Wang Zhengliang, as a guest, sang the classic song "If Love Continues" with Zhang Liangying, the atmosphere reached its climax.

Like a little girl, Liu Yifei waved her glow stick and sang along loudly with tens of thousands of audience members.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and her cheeks flushed slightly with emotion.

Wu Chen didn't sing along; he just tilted his head, smiled, and quietly watched her.

Watching her immerse herself in the purest joy of music.

He enjoyed this time.

No flashing lights, no media, no fame or fortune, only her, and the music and everyday life of this moment.

When the song ended, the entire audience erupted in applause.

Liu Yifei put down her glow stick, turned her head, and looked at Wu Chen with sparkling eyes.

"Does it sound good?"

"It sounds good."

"Then why don't you sing?"

“I’m afraid that if I open my mouth, I’ll take their jobs.”

"How can you be so shameless!" Liu Yifei was amused by him and burst out laughing.

She leaned on his shoulder, watching the stage as the lights came on again.

Alone, Zhang Liangying held the microphone and quietly sang the next song.

This is a song from last year's album "I Believe," which she is very familiar with.
Because when I went to karaoke with Zhang Liangying, she would often sing.

"If this is love, then it's inherently unfair..."

"You don't need to reason with me, I can leave..."

The singing echoed in the stadium.

The glow stick in Liu Yifei's hand swayed gently unconsciously to the melody.

The entire venue was once again engulfed in a sea of ​​chorus.

Looking at the man's profile beside her, and then at the blue sea of ​​stars.
They are getting engaged soon.

Perhaps it was the atmosphere created by the lyrics, but she suddenly spoke softly.

"Junior brother."

"Ok?"

"Do you think there will be a day in the future when you are dissatisfied with me?" Her voice was very soft, almost drowned out by the singing in the audience. "If... if I don't become the person you expect me to be."

Wu Chen was stunned for a moment.

He turned his head and looked at her.

Her eyes reflected the changing stage lights, like a hazy starry sky.

There was anticipation, there was hope, and there was also a hint of barely perceptible anxiety.

He smiled.

He reached out and gently ruffled her hair.

"Love is as you are, not as I wish you to be."

His voice, though not loud, was clear and reached her ears and her heart.

You don't need to become anything I imagine. You just need to be yourself.

In Liu Yifei's eyes, it was as if stars were being completely illuminated at this moment.

That hazy starry sky instantly coalesced into a dazzling, radiant star.

Just like right now, on stage, Zhang Liangying's singing voice happened to reach that particular line.

"I want to believe that you are the only one." ...

Meanwhile, in the stands not far behind them, two young girls had been secretly observing them for a long time.

"Hey, look at those two in the first row, don't they look like Wu Chen and Liu Yifei?"

"Looking at the eyes, they really do look alike! But... there are so many people, and the lighting is so dim, it's easy to mistake one for another, right?"

"But that profile, that height, they really look alike! Aren't they in Beijing? Why are they in Guangzhou for a concert?"

"I don't know... Let me see, let me see."

The two girls were stuck in this dilemma for the entire time.

Until the end of the concert, all the lights in the venue suddenly came on.

Wu Chen and Liu Yifei stood up, preparing to go backstage.

At that very moment, the two little girls who had been staring intently at them finally saw them clearly, and although they were wearing masks, they were basically certain.

At this moment, one of the girls could no longer contain her excitement and let out a scream that pierced the sky with all her might.

"Ah—! It's Wu Chen! It's Liu Yifei!"

This sound was like a bomb being dropped onto a calm lake.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chen thought to himself, "Holy crap!"

He reacted quickly, grabbing Liu Yifei's hand, who was still somewhat dazed, and pulling down the brim of her hat.

"run!"

Taking advantage of being in the front row, the two quickly slipped away through the staff passage before anyone around them could react.

"Hey? Hey! Don't run away!"

"Holy crap! It really is Director Wu and Sisi!!"

The audience in the front row were a little annoyed.

The two little girls watched the two men disappear, stomping their feet in frustration, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wu Chen, holding Liu Yifei's hand tightly, ran wildly through the maze-like work corridors.

Liu Yifei was initially surprised when he pulled her along, but soon she couldn't help but laugh so hard she almost fell over.

This seems like a fun and exciting thing.

The evening breeze lifted her long hair.

A captivating smile appeared on her face.

Backstage, Zhang Liangying looked at the two people who came running in panting, and had a look of both laughter and tears on her face.

"You two have been discovered?"

"Pretty much." Wu Chen waved his hand. "They're just your fans, their voices are too loud."

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Wu Chen and Liu Yifei quietly left through the back door.

The next day, media reports continued to flood in.

Wu Chen and Liu Yifei showed up at Zhang Liangying's concert to support their friend in a low-key manner!

[The concert featured a major surprise! Wu Chen and Liu Yifei were recognized and "fled in a panic"!]

Many netizens are still curious.

"Wu Chen and Liu Yifei, why did they go to Guangzhou?"

"Didn't I say I went to a concert?"

"Something feels off, and Wu Chen's family seems to live in Foshan, which is right next to Guangzhou."

"Wouldn't it be more normal to go home?"

While many people were still discussing why Wu Chen and Liu Yifei went south,

December 16th, midnight.

After a long period of promotion and hype, "The Flowers of War" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" have finally officially hit theaters nationwide.

A fierce battle for the Lunar New Year film season has officially begun.

Meanwhile, outside the window, the film market was in turmoil.

Inside the window, there was a peaceful and stable life for the two of them.

December 16th.
