You're about to retire from the entertainment industry, yet your concerts are still so popular?

"Ye Chen! Interact! Interact!!!" Zhao Xiaogang put down his phone and shouted again!

Inside the venue.

With him, the "leader of the haters," starting the group, the surrounding fans immediately joined in.

"Ye Chen! Don't even think about hiding! You can't escape the interactive segment!"

"Three songs already! It's time for an interaction according to the rules!"

"If you don't interact with us today, we're sitting here and won't leave!"

The shouts for "interaction" at the scene were deafening.

Ye Chen stood on the stage, his smile slightly stiff.

He certainly knew the concert rules; the interaction after every three songs was an old tradition. But the problem was, he hadn't figured out how to deal with these "microphone-grabbing pros" interacting with him.

"Great, it seems everyone is looking forward to the interaction." Ye Chen took the microphone and walked onto the stage.

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer." His tone carried a hint of helplessness.

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pointed to the sky: "Now, let's begin the interaction! Let's see who our first lucky audience member is today!"

At the same time, the assistant instructed the director to switch the large screen in the center of the stage to a data spreadsheet.

The seat numbers of more than 10,000 audience members scrolled rapidly on the screen.

Area A, Area B, Area C, Area D... The numbers bounced around like a slot machine, dazzling the eyes.

The entire audience fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked up at the large screen, holding their breath.

Meanwhile, inside the arena...

Those die-hard fans who love to grab the microphone and sing along are already going crazy in the group chat.

Strategist Zhao: [Brothers and sisters, notify the whole group! No matter who you draw, immediately play an old song that everyone knows!]

Longtime fan - Ken: [Yes, yes, yes! Don't chat with Ye Chen during this interaction, don't ask "how he created these three songs today", what if Ye Chen sings new songs later, wouldn't that be a waste of a duet opportunity!]

Longtime fan - Morning Light Forever: [I want to hear "Sweet Trap"! This song is Chen Tang's signature song, even a random person could sing it!]

Chen Tangbao: [No, no, no, listen to me, select "First Love Diary". This song was Ye Chen's debut song back then, and everyone in the audience can sing it with their eyes closed!]

Strategist Zhao: [Wow, the group admin's move is brilliant! They selected "First Love Diary," and as soon as we started singing, Ye Chen couldn't even hear the intro!]

Chen Tangbao: [Note: When requesting a song, act innocent and say, "This is my first time attending a concert, and I want to hear Brother Ye Chen sing my favorite song from when I was little."]

Strategist Lao Zhao: […Group owner, you're a fucking genius.]

Dodo's Mom (interrupting): [Um... my Dodo is watching you type, and she said she wants to request "The Police Bear Song"...]

Wa Xuedi—Li Xiang: […Mom, let's stop joking around, this is a tactic.]

[Grabbing the microphone is a matter of faith, we can't lose it! Even if Ye Chen changes to a new song, we can't shake them off!]

[Go! Let's teach Ye Chen a lesson!]

The group chat messages were still refreshing rapidly, but everyone present pretended to be nonchalant.

Everyone was waiting for Ye Chen on stage to draw a lucky audience member.

Ye Chen's first three new songs were indeed sung well, and they cried buckets of tears; they all acknowledge that.

But the spirit of grabbing the microphone must not be lost!

"Ready?" Ye Chen turned around, his back to the screen, hands raised in the air. "Three! Two! One!"

"stop!"

The moment he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the big screen.

A string of corresponding seat numbers has been randomly generated!

【Section D, Row 42, Seat 17】

"Section D, row 42, seat 17! Who is it? Stand up so I can see!" Ye Chen's voice was filled with excitement.

The lighting technician immediately shone the beam onto the corresponding seat.

Everyone's eyes turned to that spot, which belonged to the 500-yuan "Caveman" ticket.

The camera zoomed in, and close-up shots were projected onto the big screen.

The man in the seat still looked bewildered!

Ye Chen walked over with a smile and stood at the edge of the stage: "Come on, our first lucky audience member today! May I ask your name?"

The boy took the microphone from the staff member, swallowed hard, and said with a dry mouth, "I... I'm a ten-year fan, my name is Li Xiang."

"Li Xiang? What a nice name!" Ye Chen joked with a smile. "So, what's your dream?"

The whole room burst into laughter.

Li Xiang scratched his head and smiled.

What is a dream? It's to sing for you, of course!

The next second, he took a deep breath and put on an innocent smile: "Brother Ye Chen..."

He deliberately spoke the word "brother" in a soft, gentle tone.

"This is my first time at your concert. When I was little... I loved listening to you sing that song the most... do you remember?"

Ye Chen's smile froze, and an ominous premonition crept up his spine.

"That's the song—!" Li Xiang's voice suddenly changed from "soft and weak" to "full of energy."

At the same time, the entire audience of 10,000 people echoed his words: "First Love Diary!!!"

Twelve thousand people shouted the same song title at the same time!

The whole place erupted!

Ye Chen's expression changed from a smile to one of stunned silence!

From stunned into wide-eyed stare, and from wide-eyed stare into a silent lip-sync of "Are you fucking kidding me???"

If this stadium were to actually have a roof, I'm afraid these "anti-fans" would have ripped it off!

He was stunned for a moment, and then screams and applause erupted from the audience:

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

"good!!!"

"Li Xiang is awesome!!!"

The longtime fans jumped up from their seats, clapping and whistling wildly, wishing they could rush up and give Li Xiang a hug.

On stage, Ye Chen's smile froze.

He felt a sense of helplessness, as if he had been tricked: "No... it's you guys..."

Before he could finish speaking, the band betrayed him!

The intro chords of "First Love Diary" started playing right away.

Ye Chen suddenly turned his head and glared at the band area!

The band's lead singer shrugged and mouthed, "Director Xu instructed us to do this, and General Manager Jiang also registered the old song accompaniment."

Ye Chen: "..."

The moment the intro started, before he could even utter the first word, Li Xiang, holding the microphone upside down, led the singing:

"That summer, on a cicada-singing afternoon..."

Li Xiang's voice was almost hoarse from singing, but he didn't care.

The girl next to him, who was holding up a banner that read "Morning Sugar Will Always Be in My Heart," knew the lyrics better than he did, and even her breathing points were as precise as the original singer's!

The entire audience of 12,000 people joined in the sing-along!

She actually paid to sing for Ye Chen.

Section A, Section B... the inner field, the stands, the "mountain top"... everyone was singing!

What even made Ye Chen's scalp tingle was!

Outside the stadium, on Jinyun Mountain, fans who couldn't get tickets, climbed the mountain overnight, stood on tree branches, and squatted on rocks, were also singing!

The figures on the mountain were indistinct, but the mountain wind carried their voices into the stadium.

Although the sound is muffled, those voices are actually singing the same lyrics!

Ye Chen stood on the stage, watching all of this, his mind completely blank.
