Esports world champion, debuted as the center of a talent show

I kept crying, my hands were shaking.

Such a straightforward expression of love, such sincere love and being loved...

[I never imagined I could see such a strong emotional response from my idol. I love him so much...]

I told myself I wouldn't cry, but I can't stop the tears from flowing. I'm so happy to like you.

I wish I had met you sooner.

[Jiang Zhiyu personally captured a panoramic view of the support area that couldn't be seen before, filling the fans' regrets with his own hands.]

Even after the video ended, the somber atmosphere in the venue lingered, and many people were still unable to calm down.

Just then, the stage lights changed again, and the accompaniment to "I Die, I Live" began.

The audience gradually quieted down, and Jiang Zhiyu reappeared in the center of the stage.

He was wearing the same simple white shirt and black trousers he wore during his first stage performance, standing quietly under the spotlight with his eyes downcast, just like when we first met.

The prelude was still the deep, muffled sound of the hand drum, mixed with the long, drawn-out sound of the erhu, instantly pulling everyone back to that night when they first met and were amazed by the audience.

This time, he was even more at ease.

His stage presence was on full display; his dance moves were more rhythmic and powerful to the beat of the drums; and his facial expressions and camera work were more skillful and confident.

"Silver bells shake off the old dust"

"One sound arises, one sound dies"

As the drumbeats grew heavier, Jiang Zhiyu thrust his hips and lowered his waist, the large movements causing his bangs to flutter in the air, his slightly red forehead appearing and disappearing in the close-up shot.

"I am who I am, having shattered the mountains."

As the last line of lyrics fell, the music abruptly stopped.

Jiang Zhiyu abruptly stopped, spread his arms, straightened his back, and breathed slightly.

In the close-up shot, he looks directly at the camera with a faint but confident smile on his face.

Amidst the deafening cheers and shouts, Jiang Zhiyu calmly gazed at the countless faces below the stage, and also at the numerous people he had never met before behind the camera.

He paused for a few seconds, then said in a clear and solemn voice, "Let's reintroduce ourselves. I am Jiang Zhiyu."

[Shock to the shock]

I kept crying... "I've made up for the first meeting we missed."

[She's much more mature than her initial stage performance; it's a very noticeable improvement, kudos!]

The scar on his forehead brought the core message of "I Destroy Myself" to life in a concrete form.

The reinterpretation of this song at this time feels like fate; it evokes so many emotions...

Everyone knows that this sentence was said to the fans who have accompanied him all the way through the "Shining Project" talent show, and also to the streams that have followed River for many years.

When Jiang Zhiyu stepped off the stage to change his clothes, his steps were a little unsteady, and he accidentally missed a step.

At this critical moment, Wei, who was standing nearby, quickly grabbed his shoulder and frowned, asking, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Zhiyu shook his head, steadied himself, and stretched his shoulders: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

He could feel the fatigue warnings his body was sending to his brain, but the surge of adrenaline when facing the stage and fans made it all seem insignificant.

With time pressing, Jiang Zhiyu changed back into his trainee uniform while He Wei was making his transitions, and returned to the stage with the others.

That concludes our stage time. Next up is a relaxed live interview segment.

Staff brought over some chairs, and the nine people sat down in turn, making the atmosphere relaxed and lively again.

Holding the interactive script, He Wei smiled and posed the first question: "Next, let's do a few small interactive activities. The first question: Who do you think is the most timid among you? You can point to it using the finger props we gave you."

As soon as the words were spoken, almost without the slightest hesitation, all eight people pointed their fingers at An Junying standing to the side.

Ahn Joon-young's eyes widened on the spot, his face full of accusation: "Rumors! This is a rumor! I don't accept it!"

His roommate, Deng Sushui, couldn't help but complain, "This guy is too scared to go to the bathroom alone in the middle of the night."

As a result, Ahn Joon-young's protest was rendered ineffective.

The second question: "Who is the person whose initial impression of you differs the most from your current impression?"

This time, everyone pointed at Jiang Zhiyu, while Jiang Zhiyu pointed at Wei Shuang.

"Can I hear the reason?" He Wei asked, somewhat curious.

"Jiang Jiang has a cold and aloof face that makes him seem unapproachable at first glance, but in reality, he is a very rich child inside, with his own principles as well as a very soft side."

Lin Sen looked serious, then smiled and said, "I was almost fooled when I first saw him, but I quickly realized that he's very easy to get along with."

He Wei nodded and looked at Jiang Zhiyu: "Zhiyu, what about you? What's your reason for choosing Wei Shuang?"

Upon hearing this question, Jiang Zhiyu turned to look at Wei Shuang, who was silently pursing her lips. After thinking for a moment, he decided to be honest: "At first glance, I thought she would be a very difficult opponent with a bad temper, but later I found that she is very easygoing."

Easygoing...?

He Wei's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the taciturn Kui Shuangbing's face, and he began to doubt himself.

The next two questions:

"Out of everyone, who is the person whose appearance is most stunning at first glance?"

"Who is the person you most want to get close to upon first meeting?"

Unsurprisingly, everyone pointed at Jiang Zhiyu again.

Three questions, one answer.

A burst of cheers erupted from the crowd.

Jiang Zhiyu was somewhat stunned, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

He Wei noticed his expression and asked, "Zhiyu seems a little surprised by this result. Why is that?"

Upon hearing his question, Jiang Zhiyu reached out and adjusted his headset, replying seriously, "I've always thought of myself as a rather boring person in life, so I'm a little surprised by this result."

"Absolutely not!" Lin Sen held up his palm to refute Jiang Zhiyu's opinion.

"I already confirmed the assessment that Jiang Jiang is very interesting a long time ago during our dorm's live stream."

Jiang Zhiyu silently cast a slightly puzzled look at Lin Sen, but did not refute him further, raising the corners of his mouth and remaining silent.

[His charm is off the charts!]

[This man didn't refute the question about his stunning looks; he knows he's good-looking!!!]

[A handsome man who knows his own limitations is like a dynasty.]

Everyone dotes on Jiang Zhiyu so much! Everyone's so kind!

With friends like these, even a snake king can feel warm!

After a few casual words, the interview ended amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.

The event moved to its final activity: an on-site autograph session.

The fan meeting invited 300 fans, who took turns going on stage according to their seating order to get up close and personal with the members and sign autographs.

There are strict time limits; each person may not exceed 40 seconds, and staff will closely monitor the process throughout to ensure that time is not exceeded.

The time was very tight, meaning that apart from the time for autographs and photos, there was almost no opportunity for communication.
