Chapter 280 - 278: Rocking the Crowd
Lin Batian has seen numerous events, and though the singing was indeed pleasant, he surveyed his surroundings due to his cautious nature. He felt something was off today, as his right eye kept twitching.
However, with his daughter and Chen Tianlong by his side, he wasn’t excessively worried. He trusted Chen Tianlong’s abilities, much like he trusted him with the company’s second shareholding.
Minutes later, the song ended!
Shortly after, the lights dimmed, and Huang Ziyan began to undress on stage, causing the media and audience to be dazzled. This was big news, and cameras hurriedly focused, anxiously awaiting to capture the key moment.
Her young student fans were nearly having heart attacks, unsure what their idol was about to do.
"Whoosh!"
Huang Ziyan casually pulled her white long dress over her head, tossing it aside with flair.
At that moment, she revealed a youthful and vibrant summer outfit—a light pink sexy tank top with white shorts.
This new look perfectly showcased her unique sensual bust and long ****, embodying an explosion of youth and passion.
As this ensemble appeared, the melody of the widely popular "Passionate Desert" began to play, instantly energizing everyone present.
Especially her young fans cooperated enthusiastically, getting up from their seats and dancing along to the rhythm.
In that instant, everyone seemed to step out of their sorrows and fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere Huang Ziyan designed, reveling in the joy and celebration brought by the music.
Soon, the song ended, and Huang Ziyan took a deep breath; the intense dancing had worn her out for a moment. Now, she needed to return to a calm scene and sing a lyrical duet.
This time, Huang Ziyan’s concert included six songs, three originals and three covers.
The next song, a cover of "Little Dimples," required a male partner.
"Hello everyone, you just heard the prelude of the next song, ’Little Dimples.’ Is there any gentleman here willing to join me in performing this song perfectly?"
"Pick me, pick me!"
"Over here, Huang Ziyan, look over here."
"I am willing..."
As soon as Huang Ziyan finished speaking, fans shouted from various directions, though most were too far away and would disturb many by coming forward.
Huang Ziyan glanced at the front row briefly and then made her decision.
Chen Tianlong was initially lost in the music when he suddenly raised his head slightly, coincidentally meeting Huang Ziyan’s gaze, causing his heart to tremble, thinking: Oh no, don’t call me up there, it’d be a disaster.
"Could I invite that handsome gentleman in the front row to perform ’Little Dimples’ with me?" Huang Ziyan suddenly pointed at Chen Tianlong.
Initially, Chen Tianlong pretended not to see and turned to look behind, only to find everyone looking at him.
"Chen Tianlong, Huang Ziyan is asking you; why aren’t you responding?"
Beside him, Lin Wushuang was anxious; such a good opportunity, yet Chen Tianlong chose to play dumb. Anyone could see Huang Ziyan was referring to him.
"Huh?"
Chen Tianlong was bewildered; how unlucky to think of something and have it come true.
Though he could sing "Little Dimples," belting it out in a bathroom was one thing; singing in front of so many was somewhat daunting.
"Chen Tianlong, quickly go up; lest Ziyan gets upset." Lin Wushuang was genuinely anxious, stomping on Chen Tianlong’s foot, urging him to go.
"Ow..."
Chen Tianlong nearly shouted from the pain but managed to swallow the yelp.
Swish!
Chen Tianlong suddenly stood, sprang onto the stage swiftly, startling Lin Wushuang speechless, leaving her puzzled.
The man was truly unpredictable; she had no idea what Chen Tianlong was thinking, nor his next move, like he was vanishing and appearing without a trace.
"Clap clap clap..."
Thunderous applause erupted again, but this time for Chen Tianlong, half out of envy, half excitement, for not being able to go up themselves, they’d recklessly entrusted it to Chen Tianlong.
"Uhm, I..."
"Hehe, you don’t need to be nervous. I’ll accompany you throughout; if you forget the lyrics, I’ll remind you and lead you along." Huang Ziyan interrupted, sensing Chen Tianlong’s thoughts and comforting him.
"Oh, alright then."
Since she said so, backing out now wasn’t an option. He was already on stage, he might as well sing the best he could, hopefully not too poorly.
"Are you ready? Let’s begin then." Huang Ziyan smiled sweetly.
Chen Tianlong didn’t speak but nodded slightly. Huang Ziyan turned and nodded toward the back, and the prelude to "Little Dimples" quietly began.
The beautiful melody quickly transported everyone into a sweet world of romance.
It began with the male part; Huang Ziyan didn’t start to avoid too high a pitch for Chen Tianlong.
What Huang Ziyan hadn’t anticipated was the clear and bright voice Chen Tianlong delivered, resonating with a slight tremble that enchanted her.
Everyone present was stunned; they’d assumed Chen Tianlong might just sing a few phrases casually, but his singing was exceptional, resembling a planned professional duet with Huang Ziyan.
Without knowing Chen Tianlong personally, one might think he was an arranged professional partner by Huang Ziyan. After those few phrases, applause erupted again, affirming Chen Tianlong’s singing.
Huang Ziyan was surprised but more so satisfied. She smiled sweetly before beginning the second part, her beautiful voice sparking another frenzy.
Judging by the current scene, they seemed a perfect match; if not for the public setting, one might believe they were partners or lovers.
Yet, as everyone was lost in the musical enchantment, chaos brewed.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the entire stadium went dark.
In an instant, the hall plunged into darkness. The previous brightness left everyone temporarily visually impaired, unable to see.
Chen Tianlong closed his eyes in response but sensed danger, quickly reopening them. To his surprise, he saw a bright scene with everyone’s expressions visible.
What was happening? Was he hallucinating, or had his eye condition reappeared?
