I'm in Wuha, and the whole internet is shipping me and Song Yuqi as a couple.

"I was so excited!"

Song Yuqi pressed her back tightly against the wall, her palms were sweaty, and her eyes were wide open, staring directly at Jiang Che's gaze that was so close to hers.

She felt her heartbeat was so loud that it couldn't be drowned out by the loudspeakers outside the corridor.

Jiang Che didn't back down. In fact, he pressed his arm, which was bracing against the wall, down a little.

He looked at the little girl's bright red ears and chuckled softly.

"Okay, I'm excited."

Jiang Che raised his hand and rubbed her burning cheek with the back of his hand, then casually tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Sing well when you go on stage later, don't embarrass me."

The movement was so natural, as natural as that of an old married couple.

Before Song Yuqi could even process what was happening, her body reacted instinctively, crouching down and slipping under his arm.

As soon as he emerged, he bumped into Wu Zheng, who was holding a walkie-talkie and sweating profusely.

"My goodness! You two are incubating eggs here! Dilraba has already stepped off the stage, hurry up and get ready to go on!"

Wu Zheng was so anxious he was almost about to grab him.

Jiang Che straightened up and strode forward.

Song Yuqi quickly followed.

Just as I reached the waiting area, I ran into Dilraba walking over from the other end of the passage.

Dilraba took the bottled water handed to her by her assistant, but didn't drink it. Her gaze went straight past Song Yuqi and landed on Jiang Che.

"I've got you all ready to go."

Dilraba unscrewed the bottle cap, her tone brimming with undisguised pride, "Yuqi, it's your turn now."

Jiang Che didn't stop walking. He reached out and pulled Song Yuqi to his side to shield her, replying calmly, "Mind your own business."

Dilraba looked at the two of them with their clothes overlapping at their sides, clenched the mineral water bottle in her hand, and then laughed out loud.

"When did my senior brother become so protective of people?"

The lifting platform began operation.

Song Yuqi stood beside Jiang Che. As the platform slowly rose, deafening cheers from outside surged in like waves.

The moment the lights came on, she closed her eyes briefly.

When I opened my eyes again, the upbeat guitar intro of "A Little Sweet" was playing in my in-ear monitor.

She composed herself and raised the microphone.

"I'll pick an apple and wait for you to pass by the door..."

As soon as the girl's sweet yet slightly husky voice rang out, the more than 20,000 audience members were silent for a second, followed by a scream that seemed to lift the roof off.

The arrangement of this song is so catchy, and paired with Song Yuqi's rhinestone-studded halter dress today, she looks exactly like a girl who is secretly in love.

Even more amazing is Jiang Che.

He wore a simple black hoodie today, without any complicated styling, and just stood on the stage with one hand in his pocket in a relaxed manner.

When it was his turn, he didn't look at the camera or the audience below the stage. He simply turned to the side and fixed his gaze steadily on Song Yuqi.

"You turned my world pink from that moment on..."

The man's voice was deep and clear.

He took a step forward as he sang, closing the distance between them.

The audience went wild.

The girls in the front row were practically screaming themselves hoarse, waving their glow sticks like a tangled mess.

Some people even held up signs that read "Get Married Now" and waved them wildly below.

In front of the monitor backstage, Chen He was cracking sunflower seeds, spitting out a mouthful of shells.

"Did these two treat their concert like their wedding ceremony? Look at Lao Jiang's eyes, they're so clingy! They're practically drooling!"

Deng Chao laughed heartily from the side: "I reckon tomorrow's trending topics will be all GIFs of these two. Lao Wu, you've hit the jackpot this time."

Lu Han, holding her teacup, secretly glanced to the side.

Dilraba sat on a single sofa not far away, propping her chin up with one hand and staring at the screen with no expression on her face.

But those ten-centimeter high heels kept tapping on the ground.

Lu Han shrank her neck and silently moved closer to Deng Chao.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

on the stage.

When the chorus came, Song Yuqi's original plan was to take two steps forward and interact with the audience.

As soon as she took a step, her wrist suddenly felt warm and someone was holding it.

Jiang Che didn't follow the script; instead, he took her hand in front of 20,000 people.

Not only did he hold her hand, but he also made her sway her hand in mid-air to the beat.

Song Yuqi turned to look at him, her mind blank, and she almost forgot to sing.

Jiang Che, on the other hand, looked completely at ease. He even rubbed her hand twice with his thumb as if to comfort her, and gestured for her to continue singing.

"I've fallen in love with you, and I long to be with you..."

Song Yuqi doesn't know how she managed to finish the rest of the song.

All she knew was that the screams from the audience had turned into a unified chant of "Together! Together!"

The last eight beats at the end of the song.

Holding the microphone, Song Yuqi looked past the excited audience in the front row and towards the lighting technician in the control area.

She nodded.

The lighting technician smiled knowingly and decisively pressed down the master fader.

"Smack."

All the spotlights on the stage were instantly turned off.

The entire 20,000-seat stadium was plunged into darkness, with only the faint glow of the pink glow sticks that stretched across the stands.

The screams paused for a moment.

Within this extremely short blind spot, Song Yuqi loosened her clasped hands and suddenly turned around.

She climbed onto Jiang Che's shoulders with both hands and used the leverage to stand on tiptoe.

The lips were accurately imprinted on the man's profile.

Instantly separate.

Jiang Che was about to retreat when he was startled by this sudden action and froze on the spot. His tall figure stopped abruptly, and his hand was still in mid-air.

With the help of glow sticks, the audience could only see two outlines in the center of the stage that were completely pressed together and then quickly separated.

"What did they do?!"

"They kissed? They definitely kissed!"

"Lighting technician, your paycheck's been docked! Turn on the lights!"

The fans' screams erupted again, the sound waves shaking the stadium floor.

In front of the monitor in the backstage lounge.

Chen He stood there with his mouth agape, scattering the handful of sunflower seeds he had just peeled all over his crotch.

"Old Deng!" He jabbed Deng Chao wildly with his elbow. "Am I blind or is the surveillance camera broken?"

Deng Chao gripped the edge of the screen with both hands, his head practically touching it: "This little girl's got some nerve! Daring to mess with Old Jiang!"

Lu Han put down her teacup. "Yu Qi pulled off a stunning comeback?"

Wu Zheng paced around the room with the walkie-talkie, slapping his thigh and jumping up and down.

"Why is the light off?! Who cut the light?! Do you think I'm short a few dollars in electricity?! If I miss this close-up shot, I'll lose tens of millions!"

On a single sofa in the corner.

Dilraba stopped tapping her high heels on the ground.

The monitor was switched to night vision mode, so she could see a hundred times more clearly than the viewers outside.

She saw the whole process of Song Yuqi tiptoeing, getting close, and kissing her.

She even saw the look of astonishment on Jiang Che's face.

That was an expression Jiang Che had never shown in front of her before.

Dilraba tapped her long, slender fingers twice on the sofa armrest.

"You've made something of yourself."

She scoffed, picked up the iced Americano on the table and shook it. "So you've even learned to bribe the lighting technician to pull some dirty tricks."
