Chapter 28
Jing Jiren never expected that the first and most important concert of Chen Yueyang’s fifth anniversary tour would end in such a thrilling and exciting way.
Fortunately, Chen Yueyang didn’t breathe in a lot of water, and Fei Chang’s rescue was very timely. By the time the doctor rushed to the stage, Chen Yueyang had already coughed up the water in his stomach and gradually woke up.
He was overloaded with work every day this month, his body could no longer hold on, and he just suffered a sudden accident. Though he came to, his mind was hazy and confused.
The doctor quickly carried him off-stage to let him rest.
When Chen Yueyang gradually recovered and was able to speak and think clearly again, more than twenty minutes had passed.
He looked around and asked Jing Jiren, “Why are you the only one? Where’s the doctor?”
Jing Jiren said angrily, “The fans thought you were dead. There were too many people crying and screaming to accompany you to the grave. I sent the doctor to the audience.”
“Where are the members of the wire group?”
“What’s the point of keeping them? They were all killed for your funeral.”
“What about the other staff?”
“There must be an entourage to follow the lord in death.”
“…” Chen Yueyang saw it now. Jing Jiren was deeply angry, and was currently holding back his urge to release his irritation.
Jing Jiren had represented him for many years, and their relationship was more like friends than a boss and a subordinate. Unlike other agents, he didn’t want to desperately squeeze out the blood and sweat of his artists. Instead, he put the artist first in everything. For both Chen Yueyang’s work and life, he had a clear plan. This time, Chen Yueyang had an accident on stage. He was very worried, but his mouth was hard. He refused to say any gentle words.
Chen Yueyang asked again, “Where is Fei Chang? Will he be buried with me too.”
“He is different.” Jing Jiren’s voice softened, “He will voluntarily accompany you to the grave.”
“…”
Jing Jiren turned on the TV behind him. This TV was directly connected to the No. 1 stand facing the big screen, clearly displaying the situation on stage.
And now the person standing alone on the stage was actually Fei Chang!
In the long-shot camera position, Fei Chang occupied only a small area on the screen, the size of his little finger, but even at such a distance, Chen Yueyang, who was familiar with all of his mannerisms, could see how nervous he was now.
Fei Chang made his official debut less than half a year ago, and had only shown his face in pre-recorded variety shows. He had no experience in live broadcasting at all, let alone facing tens of thousands of viewers in such a large concert!
He was stumbling as he sang, stumbling as he danced, and stumbling as he spoke.
The audience was very angry and didn’t care about him at all. Their boos shook the sky, and the sound was about to overturn this tall, young man. Fans only cared about Chen Yueyang’s situation, and desperately wanted to know how their idol who suffered an accident was!
As for Fei Chang who stood alone under the light, who cared about him?
Fei Chang was more concerned about the physical condition of his senior brother than anyone else there, but he didn’t know any more than the fans. He only had time to send Chen Yueyang to the lounge, and then he was forced like a duck driven up a shelf1[Means being forced to do something outside of your abilities.] to step onto the stage alone.
They hadn’t reached the scheduled performance time for the concert, and the working group had to discuss the follow-up, so they pushed Fei Chang up to delay time.
Before a concert was held, it was necessary to report the artists and apply for performance qualifications in advance. After Chen Yueyang was injured, only Fei Chang was qualified to stand on this stage.
Fei Chang was very scared. Fei Chang was very nervous.
Although the giraffe was tall, it was a meek herbivore, after all. With only a small wind or movement of the grass, it could be frightened into running madly.
But now he couldn’t shrink back, because he still had to protect the senior brother behind him.
Chen Yueyang stared at the TV screen while lying on the sickbed, captivated. He suddenly threw off the blanket on his body and stood up.
He calmly ordered, “Bring over the costumes and accessories. I will be on stage again in ten minutes.”
“You don’t want your life anymore? You can’t sing now, quickly go to the hospital!”
“Even if I can’t sing, the fans are still waiting for me. I must show up to make them feel at ease.” Chen Yueyang paused and said, “And I promised Feifei that the first time he went up on stage, I would be with him.”
…
When Chen Yueyang reappeared on the stage wrapped under the lights, the cheers of the fans rose, wave after wave.
Fei Chang was even more surprised and speechless. He was still holding a microphone in his hand, abruptly stopping halfway through the singing of “Mesmerized”. His body was frozen in the middle of a turn, his two long legs twisted, and he almost fell down.
Chen Yueyang walked slowly to Fei Chang’s side. At first, he wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but he turned his hand around in the air, finally landing on top of Fei Chang’s head.
Chen Yueyang was only 1.82 meters tall. Raising his hand to make a “head patting” motion was a bit difficult, but Fei Chang cooperated by tilting his head and bowing, letting him stroke his hair.
Chen Yueyang said softly, “I made you worried.”
Fei Chang stared at him closely, unable to say a word, only able to nod his head repeatedly while going “wuwuwu2[Crying onomatopoeia]“.
The audience under the stage was moved to tears by the interaction of the two brothers. Seeing that their idol was all right, they could finally relax.
After that, the focus of the stage returned to Chen Yueyang.
He deserved to be a well-known artist with high emotional intelligence. In a situation where he couldn’t dance or sing, he restored the enthusiasm of his fans, relying only on the art of speech.
He persisted on stage for another twenty minutes, and finally played an undisclosed single from his new album on the piano, as compensation for the shortened concert.
For everyone who participated in this concert, tonight was an absolutely unforgettable night. First of all, there was a big fall and a big rise. Even roller coasters were not so stimulating.
Not only tonight, but one month, one year, or even ten years from now, this concert would continue to be a topic that everyone in the circle talked about.
…
After the concert officially ended, Chen Yueyang and Fei Chang left the stage one after another.
The doctor had been waiting in the lounge for a long time, while Chen Yueyang went into battle with his injuries, completely at the end of his strength, supported only by a breath of immortality.
Fei Chang’s performance was even more exaggerated. When he stepped off the stage, he immediately knelt on the ground, his body softened into noodles, and even two strong male dancers couldn’t support him up.
The little assistant turned around anxiously: “Feifei, what happened!”
Fei Chang said weakly, “I, I, my legs are weak…”
The stage was really too terrifying, the lighting was terrifying, the accompaniment was terrifying, and the audience in the audience was even more terrifying. Especially when he was in a crisis like this, the pressure he had to endure was beyond his imagination.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help turning his head to look at his senior brother lying next to him on the temporary hospital bed, and sincerely admired Chen Yueyang’s composure and calmness. “Senior brother is truly too powerful.”
Jing Jiren, who hurried over, heard only the last two phrases.
He looked at Fei Chang with a strange expression, then at Chen Yueyang, and wondered what kind of causality was implied in this sentence, “My legs are weak, senior brother is truly too powerful”?
