Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.
Chapter 319 Tears can flow from more than just the eyes.
Chen Mo sat on a stool in the center of the stage, holding a wooden guitar in his arms.
The microphone was placed in front of him at just the right height. He looked up and gazed at the audience.
He hesitated for a moment, then placed his fingers on the guitar soundboard and began to play.
"I sang this song a long time ago."
His voice carried the warmth of memories.
The audience was quiet; everyone was waiting for him to continue.
"I want to sing this song again today."
After he finished speaking, his fingertips began to pluck the strings.
"I'm Really in Love with You"
In the VP area, Yang Mi stopped holding the glow stick.
She was very familiar with the intro to this song.
Many years ago, on that night, in a folk music bar called "Old Times" in Beijing.
The first time she met Chen Mo, he was on a small stage, holding a guitar, playing and singing this song.
At that time, he was just a model.
The tavern was dimly lit and warm. He sat on a high stool, one leg on the ground and the other swinging slightly.
When she sat in the audience and heard him sing the first line, she was completely immersed in his singing.
At that time, she thought the young man sang well; his voice had an indescribable sense of story, and the more she listened, the more she appreciated it.
But at this moment—
Chen Mo sat in the center of the stage at the Bird's Nest, with 90,000 people watching him as he sang the first line.
Yang Mi understood that he was singing for her, and her nose suddenly stung with tears.
You have eyes that can speak volumes.
His voice has changed.
When singing folk songs, Chen Mo's voice is not as clear and ethereal as when singing "The World Gave Me", nor as warm as when singing "My Dear You".
He deliberately lowered the pitch of his voice, making each word sound slightly hoarse, with a sense of age and experience.
That texture gives the whole song a special flavor.
You have a kind and understanding heart.
Yang Mi clenched the glow stick in her hand.
She recalled that night when Chen Mo struck up a conversation with her after he finished singing, and the look in his eyes as he talked to her held an almost imperceptible ambition.
Later they walked out of that tavern together, and then...
Then everything happened naturally.
"Oh~ I've secretly fallen in love with you~ but I don't dare tell you~"
Yang Mi's eyes began to redden.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and a thin layer of tears quickly welled up in her eyes.
That bastard.
She cursed inwardly, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.

Why are you making people cry again?
She glanced quickly to the side, but Dilraba was focused on the stage and didn't seem to notice her odd behavior.
She quietly sniffed and turned her gaze back to the stage.
"Because I know I'll give you what you want."
When Chen Mo sang this line, he lowered his head slightly, and his right hand swept out a series of smooth chords on the strings.
The chorus of this song doesn't have a very dramatic melody, and it doesn't have that kind of soaring emotional outburst.
But that kind of subtle, restrained affection is more penetrating than any high note.
The audience fell completely silent.
No one cheered, no one screamed, and even the glow sticks slowed down.
Among 90,000 people, everyone thinks of a different person when they hear this song.
Some people thought of their first love, while others thought of someone they hadn't been in contact with for a long time.
Some people remembered the person who was by their side during their most difficult time.
Some people didn't think about anything; they were simply drawn into a nostalgic, bittersweet mood by the texture of that voice.
As the second verse following the chorus continues, Chen Mo's voice becomes increasingly relaxed.
The casualness and narrative feel unique to folk songs are even more pronounced in the second stanza.
When the second chorus arrives, the strings slowly spread a warm base in the background, intertwining with the guitar timbre and expanding the sense of space in the whole song.
The "Cantonese-speaking policeman" in the audience had stopped talking.
Two clear tear tracks were visible on his face.
He tried hard to control his expression, but tears just wouldn't stop flowing.
His friend next to him glanced at him and joked:
"How many wives did he have run away with? Why are you so heartbroken?"
The Cantonese-speaking policeman sniffed and whispered:
"I'm reminded of my first love."
His voice was muffled, with a thick nasal tone.
The friend next to him fell silent.
The Cantonese-speaking police officer noticed that his friend wasn't making a sound, so he turned his head to take a look and saw that his friend was also sniffing.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
"It also reminded me of my first love."
Chen Mo finished singing the last line.
The singing stopped.
The guitar stopped.
Applause gradually rose from afar.
Yang Mi's gaze pierced through the crowd, looking at the figure in a white suit in the center of the stage from a distance of several dozen meters.
Her eyes were still red, and her makeup was a little smudged, but she didn't care about any of that at the moment.
Years later, Chen Mo stood on a stage in front of 90,000 people and sang this song again in front of her.
This feeling is so touching.
This time, tears welled up in the audience too.
Chen Mo stood up from the stool, put the guitar on the guitar stand to the side, picked up the microphone, and bowed slightly to the audience.
He didn't speak.
No one in the audience urged him to speak.
The applause lasted for almost half a minute before gradually subsiding.
The next few songs reignited the atmosphere.
Chen Mo changed into several outfits, each corresponding to a different style of song.
The entire concert was like a meticulously crafted visual and auditory feast.
After all the planned songs were sung, the stage lights slowly dimmed.
When Chen Mo reappeared on stage, he was dressed in a simple outfit.
White shirt, black trousers, sleeves rolled up to mid-forearm, no jacket, no extra accessories.
His attire looks very similar to his usual private appearance.
"The last song."
His voice came from the darkness, and the stage lights slowly came on.
Chen Mo stood in the center of the stage, surrounded by the deep night and the breathless silence of 90,000 people waiting.
"This song is the last song of this concert."
He paused for a moment, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
""Lovers"."
A slightly melancholic prelude begins.
The piano chords provide a soft base, and the volume is very low.
Love is like a light rain.
When the first sentence was uttered, the audience mostly listened attentively.
The melody of this song is not bad, but it's not particularly catchy. The progression before the chorus is fairly conventional, and the chord progression and melody line are fairly standard.
"The raindrops drip into my heart."
Some people in the audience nodded slightly, thinking the melody of the song was not bad.
But compared to the previous songs "Wish and Sorrow", "What the World Gave Me", and "My Dear You", it seems to have less of a memorable quality.
"That cassette tape kept getting stuck, again and again."
When the lyrics of this chorus came out, some people in the audience frowned slightly.
The lyrics are so-so, and the overall sound is a bit bland.
Many viewers secretly felt that the last new song might be slightly inferior to the previous ones.
But soon, the first chorus ended.
The interlude started.
After a brief silence, the string section burst forth from the speakers.
The violin and electric guitar tones intersect in the middle, with the strings providing the foundation and the electric guitar adding a layer of distorted sound wall with a grainy texture. The contrast between the two creates tremendous dramatic tension.
Then comes a violin solo melody, falling from a height, carrying a sense of pain as if being torn apart by fate.
That painful sense of fate poured out from the speakers.
Holy crap.
Someone in the audience shouted in their mind.
This interlude is so beautiful.
The audience who thought the song was just okay were all proven wrong the moment the interlude started.
The arrangement of that interlude completely exceeded their expectations for a pop song.
In the audience, a blogger who specializes in editing film and television clips on short video platforms suddenly sat up straight.
This interlude...
His mind raced; his years of editing experience allowed him to make a judgment almost the instant he heard the melody.
This interlude, when paired with the climax of any heart-wrenching TV drama, would have a nuclear-level effect.
Several images had already automatically appeared in his mind.
Every scene paired with this interlude has an overwhelming and captivating power.
He could almost foresee that this interlude would be used by countless people as background music for videos in the coming days.
It will explode.
This interlude is sure to be a hit.
When Chen Mo's voice came back in after the interlude ended, it sounded completely different from before.
It's as if that interlude infuses the song with a completely new emotional tone, suddenly giving the originally light melody a sense of fatalistic heaviness.
When the chorus came on for the second time, the audience's experience was completely different.
The song concludes gently in the final chorus, with Chen Mo's voice gradually descending from its high, full, and lyrical tone.
As the last note fell, all the lights on the stage turned on in that instant.
Applause erupted from all directions, more enthusiastic and longer than ever before.
Chen Mo stood in the center of the stage, his gaze sweeping over the endless sea of people below.
He raised the microphone, his voice carrying the weariness and satisfaction of finishing a full concert:
Thank you everyone.
Four simple words.
Then he bowed to the audience, and as he straightened up, he added:
See you next time.
The cheers from the audience reached their peak at that moment.
……
An hour after the concert ended, the trending topics list was almost entirely dominated by keywords related to Chen Mo.
"Chen Mo Concert" topped the charts, followed by a deep red "Explosive" sign.
Once you click in, the screen is filled with video clips from the concert and real-time photos from fans.
"Chen Mo's original songs" are listed in the second position.
Live versions of the four new songs were uploaded to various platforms by fans.
The songs "Wish and Sorrow", "What the World Gave Me", and "My Dear You" occupied the top three spots on the music platform's rising charts.
Only "The Lovers" is currently ranked seventh on the rising chart.
However, the discussion surrounding this song continues to rise in the comments section.
"To be honest, the first three songs are indeed more catchy, but the interlude of 'Lover' is truly unbeatable."
"As soon as the interlude started, I got goosebumps all over. I felt like I was sorry and I was wrong."
"Has anyone cut out the interlude of 'Lover' and put it on repeat? I've listened to it a hundred times."
"That interlude, paired with any heart-wrenching scene, would be explosive. I already have a feeling that short video platforms will be dominated by this interlude for the next month."
Someone replied below:
"I'm an editor. As soon as the concert ended, I edited a version of 'East Palace' with the interlude of 'Lovers,' which has already been viewed a million times..."
The comments section was filled with amazement.
"Chen Mo's marriage proposal at his concert" ranked third.
The video of the doctor and nurse proposing to each other in the audience was recorded in its entirety by someone sitting next to them.
From the boy kneeling on one knee to the ring being put on his ring finger, and finally Chen Mo interacting with them on stage.
The video, which lasted more than six minutes, garnered over 50 million views on Weibo within two hours of the concert ending.
The comments section under the video is completely different from other trending topics.
"I burst into tears after watching this video. I was in Wuhan at that time, and I know what it means."
"He said he was an emergency room doctor and she was a nurse, and they were on the front lines in late 2019... Oh my god, I couldn't hold back my tears just hearing that."
"Chen Mo's words, 'I hope every ordinary day you have from now on is as worth remembering as today,' were so beautiful that I burst into tears."
"The guy said, 'Being able to propose with Teacher Chen Mo as my witness is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me.' That's so sincere."
"Many people may have forgotten that Chen Mo donated half of the proceeds from 'The Silent Truth' back then, but the medical staff who received the donation have not forgotten it."
"This is the best kind of two-way collaboration between idols and fans."
The top-rated comment has surpassed 800,000 likes, and its content consists of only one sentence:
Good people will be rewarded.
The hashtag "Chen Mo and Deng Chao sing together" ranked fifth on the trending searches.
That video was edited starting from the moment Deng Chao was captured on the big screen.
From his closed-eye, engrossed singing along, to Sun Li covering her mouth and laughing, to the staff handing him the microphone, to his posture when he took the microphone and sang, and finally to Chen Mo's words of praise for him on stage.
Once the video was edited, the comment section was completely overrun by netizens.
Deng Chao: I originally just wanted to be an ordinary audience member; it was the camera that moved first.
"I laughed so hard I almost died when Chen Mo handed me the microphone. Chao Ge took the microphone without any hesitation."
"Deng Chao is really something. He can always do the most unexpected things at the most unexpected moments, and then you feel that it actually makes sense."
"Sun Li's expression of covering her mouth and laughing was so real. It felt like she was thinking: My husband is at it again. Oh well, let him be."
"Sun Li's smile was absolutely amazing. Even after so many years of marriage, the way she looks at Chao Ge is still so tender."
"Chen Mo's last words were so well said by Brother Chao."
"He never feels awkward; he only enjoys the stage, the music, and every second of the moment."
This statement is so accurate when applied to Deng Chao; he truly is that kind of person.
But the comments section is never short of sarcastic remarks.
One comment was pushed to the third spot among the top comments, and it read:
"These two are like kindred spirits meeting in a stagnant valley."
The replies below were all "hahahahahahaha", "that's so mean", "how can you describe it like that?" and "but it seems quite accurate."
Someone added:
"Chen Mo and Deng Chao are the kind of people who understand each other's quirks."
Others thought Chao was crazy, but Chen Mo thought Chao was very relaxed; it was truly like finding a kindred spirit in a humble place.
