Chen Mo leaned back in his chair in the backstage lounge.

The concert lasted more than three hours, with over thirty songs, plus costume changes and dances in between.

Even with the label of "fitness expert," Chen Mo still felt a bit tired.

The mirror on the dressing table reflected his face after he removed his makeup.

With his eyes closed, every detail of the concert was still replaying in his mind...

He was reviewing the game when the door lock clicked.

Chen Mo opened his eyes and saw Yang Mi's figure appear at the door in the mirror.

She turned the door lock on behind her, then stood against the door for a second, her gaze falling on him.

She had her makeup touched up after crying during the concert, and it still looks flawless.

Chen Mo watched her walk towards him through the mirror, the sound of her high heels clicking on the floor.

She walked to his chair, stood down, looked down at him, and a faint smile curved her lips.

"Why is Honey in such a hurry?"

Chen Mo looked up at her, his tone teasing.

Yang Mi certainly knew what he meant by "urgent".

She didn't deny it; instead, she bent down, leaned close to his ear, and breathed hot air into his ear:

"Someone performed so well on stage, we want to reward them right away."

Her voice was low, with a breathy tone at the end.

After she finished speaking, her fingers slid down his chest, her nails lightly scratching through the fabric of his shirt.

Chen Mo's breathing became heavier.

Chen Mo reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards him.

Yang Mi exclaimed in surprise, lost her balance, and fell forward into his arms.

She lay sprawled on top of him.

Chen Mo held her lower back with one hand and supported the back of her head with the other, then lowered his head to kiss her.

Yang Mi reacted quickly; she hooked her arms around his neck.

The kiss was deep and long.

Her lips were soft and warm.

She kissed him forcefully, as if she wanted to convey all the emotions she had accumulated while listening to that song from the audience through this kiss.

They kissed for a long time before separating.

Yang Mi stepped back a little from his embrace, looked up at him, and then slowly slid off his lap, kneeling on the floor.

The black dress was stretched taut by this pose, outlining the smooth curve between the waist and hips.

Chen Mo looked down at her, and was about to reach out to touch her hair when Yang Mi raised her hand to block his hand.

She tilted her head back and wrinkled her nose:

"Don't push my head down later, I have my own rhythm."

……

The second day, the second show at the Bird's Nest.

address:\\\\\\\\\\\\.\\\\\\

With the experience from the first event, the whole process went much more smoothly.

Chen Mo was more relaxed on stage than on the first day, and his interaction with the audience was more natural.

Many of the originally planned segments were adjusted on-site based on audience reactions, and the results were actually better than during rehearsals.

The third match also concluded successfully.

The Bird's Nest stadium was packed for three consecutive days, with every show exceeding 90,000 seats, and the audience was more enthusiastic than the day before.

Throughout the three-day performance, topics related to Chen Mo's concert were constantly trending on social media.

On the last day, Zhang Jingyi arrived.

When she appeared in the VP area, she was wearing a cream-colored knitted cardigan over a floral print sundress, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, making her look sweet and well-behaved.

She waved at the camera, and the reactions from the live chat and the audience were enthusiastic.

After Chen Mo finished singing "What the World Gave Me," he didn't immediately start the next song. Instead, he stood on the stage and said into the microphone:

"For the next song, I'd like to invite a special friend to sing with me."

There was a moment of silence in the audience, then cheers erupted.

The camera on the large screen precisely focused on Zhang Jingyi in the VP area.

The moment she appeared on the giant screen, the roar from the audience doubled.

On stage, Chen Mo turned slightly to the side and gestured "please" to her.

Zhang Jingyi stood up from her seat and walked along the side aisle to the stage.

After she went on stage, a staff member handed her a microphone.

When the two people stand together, the scene is clean and harmonious.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Chen Mo turned his head to look at her.

Zhang Jingyi smiled slightly, her voice soft and gentle:

"Long time no see, Professor Chen Mo."

A burst of good-natured laughter and applause erupted from the audience.

"Are you ready?" Chen Mo asked.

Zhang Jingyi nodded, took a deep breath, and tightened her grip on the microphone slightly.

Then Chen Mo made a gesture to the sound engineer.

The intro to the theme song of "Ignite Me, Warm You" flowed from the speakers.

Zhang Jingyi's voice has a clear quality with a touch of sweetness, while Chen Mo's voice has a mellow and magnetic quality. When the two timbres are combined, they create a kind of chemical reaction.

Her voice is higher and she is responsible for the main melody, while his voice is lower and he is responsible for the harmony and foundation.

During the chorus, when the two sang together, several trailer clips for "Ignite Me, Warm You" were shown on the big screen.

Li Xun and Zhu Yun brushed past each other on campus, sat side by side coding in the library, gazed at each other in the snow, and chased each other in the sunset.

The visuals, combined with the two singers' voices, elevated the song's emotional impact to a very high level.

When Zhang Jingyi sang the last line of the final chorus, she turned her head and glanced at Chen Mo.

That look was captured in its entirety on the big screen and projected onto 90,000 people.

Someone in the audience shouted:

"The Cycle of Fate!"

After that shout, more voices followed, and the four words "Ming Yun Xun Huan" echoed throughout the venue.

When Chen Mo heard these shouts from the stage, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

He turned his head to look at Zhang Jingyi, and she was looking at him too. The two looked at each other for a moment under the stage lights, and then smiled at the same time.

This song became the first thing to trend on social media after the concert ended that night.

"Chen Mo and Zhang Jingyi's duet" quickly rose to second place on the trending searches within an hour, second only to the total number of "Chen Mo's concert" entries.

After clicking in, all you see are screenshots and video clips of the two of them singing a duet on stage. From the moment Zhang Jingyi stepped onto the stage to the moment she sang her first line, and then to the duet between the two of them in the chorus, every frame is captured and repeatedly shared.

"These two look so good together."

"Chen Mo's harmonies are so beautiful. He deliberately sang in a low voice, giving the main melody to Zhang Jingyi. This detail really touched me."

"That last eye contact made me die on the spot."

"This must be true, I really believe it."

"Hurry and watch 'Ignite Me, Warm You'! It premieres tomorrow!"

This chorus served as a textbook example of how to warm up for the premiere of "Ignite Me, Warm You".

Among the trending topics, "Ignite Me, Warm You Tomorrow (Premiere Tomorrow)" and "Chen Mo and Zhang Jingyi's Duet" appeared side by side at the top of the list, driving each other's popularity to rise continuously.

……

The next day, "Ignite Me, Warm You" officially premiered.

At 7:30 p.m., the first three episodes were released on the platform.

The story begins with Zhu Yun, played by Zhang Jingyi, taking a plane back to China.

The moment Zhang Jingyi's face appeared on the screen, the comments section exploded:

"Zhu Yun looks so good in this outfit."

"Zhang Jingyi is really perfect for this kind of aloof and stubborn character."

"The emotions in her eyes were so complex, it felt like she was hiding a lot of things on her mind."

The scene shifts, and Li Xun, played by Chen Mo, is released after three years in prison.

He stood at the prison gate wearing an old dark gray jacket, his hands in his pockets, his hair much shorter than it had been in college.

He looked up at the gray sky above, took a deep breath, and then strode forward.

The first thing Li Xun did after being released from prison was to go to the company of his former partner, Gao Jianhong.

He stood in the towering lobby of the office building. Gao Jianhong, dressed in a suit and tie, stepped out of the elevator and saw him. His expression changed from calm to wary.

Li Xun looked at him, a cold smile curving his lips, and uttered:

Those who betray will pay the price.

After saying that, he turned and left, decisively and cleanly, without even giving her a second glance.

Comments: "Li Xun is so handsome." "That was so satisfying to say." "Gao Jianhong's face turned green, hahaha."

Li Xun then went to his friend Ren Di to collect the debt.

Ren Di hesitated for a long time before finally saying:

"Zhu Yun has returned to China."

The camera gave a close-up of Li Xun's fingers, which were clenched into a fist.

Outside the restaurant, Li Xun saw Zhu Yun sitting inside with a man through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the two chatting and laughing.

The man was Zhu Yun's friend, Tian Xiuzhu, but Li Xun didn't recognize him.

He stood outside the glass, watching Zhu Yun smile at another man, the curve of his lips gradually flattening.

His turn to leave looked effortless, but his steps were a few paces faster than before.

Zhu Yun keenly sensed something in the restaurant. She turned her head to look out the glass and saw Li Xun's figure just turning the corner.

When she saw the familiar figure, she almost instinctively stood up and chased after him.

The two met again on the street.

Zhu Yun's voice trembled uncontrollably.

Li Xun turned around and looked at her, his face expressionless.

Zhu Yun returned to her residence and confided her worries to Tian Xiuzhu.

Tian Xiuzhu looked into her eyes and said:

Go find him, don't have any regrets.

Li Xun returned to his humble rented room and looked at the news of Gao Jianhong's company going public online. The light from the screen shone on his face, and his expression was as calm as a still pond.

The first three episodes end here, and the story officially transitions into flashbacks.

Let's go back to our university days.

Zhu Yun entered the university campus for the first time, dragging her suitcase along the tree-lined path.

She saw Li Xun, his flamboyant golden hair gleaming in the sunlight, leaning against the wall of the teaching building, seemingly nonchalant.

The density of comments doubled the moment they saw the blond Li Xun:

"Holy crap, blond hair!"

"Chen Mo's look is absolutely stunning!"

"His blond boyish charm is amazing, how did he even grow his face like that?"

Zhu Yun's first reaction was:

"A rich kid who's good for nothing."

Comments: "Chen Mo with golden hair!" "This look suits him so well!" "A god among modern idols!" "Zhu Yun, you misunderstood him, he's a genius."

But in reality, Li Xun was a programming genius who was admitted to the school through a special admissions process.

In class, the teacher posed a tricky algorithm problem. The whole class was silent. Li Xun stood up from the back row, glanced at the blackboard, casually gave the answer, and then continued to play with his phone.

That nonchalant attitude left the professor speechless, and he nodded.

Zhu Yun, sitting in the front row, glanced back at him with surprise and resentment in her eyes.

Later, at the cafeteria entrance, senior student Fang Zhijing was making things difficult for Zhu Yun. Li Xun happened to be passing by, stopped, leaned against a nearby pillar, watched for a while, and then lazily said:

"Bullying a girl in public, Senior Brother Fang, isn't that a bit petty?"

Fang Zhijing's face stiffened, and when he turned around and saw that it was Li Xun, his expression became even more unpleasant.

The comments section was filled with messages like: "Li Xun is protecting Zhu Yun," "So handsome!" and "His entrance was amazing."

Teacher Lin asked Zhu Yun to invite Li Xun to join the programming group.

When Zhu Yun found him, he was catching up on sleep at a library table.

She nudged his arm, and he opened his eyes, saw her, and gave her an impatient look.

To reject her, he casually wrote a piece of code, saved it to his hard drive, and tossed it to her, saying, "Look for yourself."

After Zhu Yun went back and plugged the disk into the computer, she was completely dumbfounded.

The virus spread instantly, infecting not only her computer but also the computers of several other top students at the school, and even Teacher Lin's computer was not spared.

The corridors of the entire computer science department were filled with groans as everyone frantically tried to remove the virus, but the more they tried, the more chaotic things became.

Li Xun's virus design is cunning; it can not only replicate itself but also use each infected device as a springboard to attack the next target.

Everyone was at a loss.

Then Li Xun appeared.

Holding a can of Coke, he slowly walked into the computer lab of the computer science department and sat down at the computer next to Zhu Yun amidst the complicated gazes of everyone.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, typing out a piece of code that no one could understand, and then he pressed the Enter key.

One second later, all the infected computer screens returned to normal simultaneously.

The server room was silent for a second, then a collective gasp filled the air, and the temperature in the entire server room rose by ten degrees.

Comments: "He really knows how to show off." "It feels like Chen Mo is playing himself."

After the first three episodes aired, Weibo immediately exploded with discussion.

"Chen Mo's youthful appearance with blond hair" quickly rose to the top of the trending searches, and clicking on it revealed screenshots and clips of Li Xun's blond appearance.

A fan took a screenshot of him leaning against the wall playing on his phone and captioned it:

"The God of the present moment."

"Chen Mo's black trousers with a white shirt and blond hair make him look incredibly handsome. I declare this to be the most handsome of all Chen Mo's roles."

"His blond hair wasn't the bright yellow kind; it was a light blonde with a hint of gray, which made him look particularly cool and youthful. The stylist deserves a bonus."

"Chen Mo is really perfect for this kind of aggressive genius role. He portrayed the sharpness hidden in his nonchalant attitude perfectly."

Immediately afterwards, the P super topic of "Ming Yun Xun Huan" also became lively.

Some fans captured screenshots of Chen Mo and Zhang Jingyi together in the drama, added music to them, made a video, and posted it in the super topic to discuss how well the two were a good match.

"Zhu Yun and Li Xun have such a strong sense of Photoshop; the two of them standing together make for a very comfortable picture."

"Zhang Jingyi's stubborn gaze and Li Xun's indifference formed a perfect contrast; this is the Fate Ring of Xun."

The discussion in the super topic continued to rise, and some fans began to edit all the interaction clips between the two in the already aired episodes, making various versions of P-style videos, which were spread on various platforms.
