AWB Chapter 696 Concert Guest 4
Chapter 696 Concert Guest 4
Am I really overthinking things?
Even after the concert ended, this question lingered in Lu Wanxing's mind.
Because it was too late, he didn't have time to ask Chang Yun.
He shared the same doubts as a media studio known for its gossip, which had also arranged for people to enter the concert venue.
As is well known, live streaming and recording of concerts are strictly prohibited.
At most, one can only take a few photos or record a short video for personal enjoyment.
It's impossible for the people at this studio to record the entire concert.
Like their peers, they planned to take a few photos and record a couple of short videos.
The cameras of the other photographers were mostly focused on Chu Kong and Lu Wanxing's male duet.
That was indeed a divine stage.
It's worth filming.
However, the people at this studio were unlucky. Their equipment was knocked off by excited fans in the front row who were waving their arms and legs. It took them nearly half an hour just to check and repair it.
By the time he wanted to film again, Lu Wanxing had already left, and the stage had become a starry sky.
Therefore, he had no choice but to settle for second best.
Unexpectedly, what was captured was a live performance of "Mercury".
After taking it back to the studio for a second look, they discovered Chu Kong's unusual behavior.
The studio staff huddled together, and even their argument about the photographer not being able to capture better shots instantly ceased.
"No matter how you look at it, Chu Kong is staring at somewhere in the audience, isn't he?"
"Could it be a camera lens?"
"That's impossible. If you look back, you'll see there's no camera where his gaze is falling... He's probably looking at someone."
"Holy crap! Could it really be his girlfriend who's not in the entertainment industry?"
"Maybe she's a girlfriend in the entertainment industry."
"What if it's family?"
The last person to speak was met with disdain from the others.
"Singing this song while looking at your family? Are you serious?"
Therefore, family and friends were excluded.
The photographer then added, "There seems to be a music critic sitting next to me. He said that Chu Kong's singing this time is much better than before; it's a better singing with more emotion."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
After a long pause, someone muttered, "It really could be her girlfriend..."
Before the person could finish speaking, who had been watching the video repeatedly, suddenly pressed pause:
"Look here, isn't there suddenly someone here? Zoom in and look again, doesn't this person look like Lu Wanxing who has already left the stage?"
"And he just sat down here and didn't go backstage, so—"
His words drew sidelong glances from the group, prompting them to ponder.
Then they spoke together:
"Does Chu Kong like Lu Wanxing's girlfriend?"
"Is that Lu Wanxing's girlfriend outside the entertainment industry?"
"Is there something more to the relationship between the three of them?"
This is explosive news!
Everyone spoke at the same time, and then shut up at the same time.
Apart from that, there was absolutely no chemistry between them.
"Tsk, it's a pity I couldn't get a picture of her face. The person sitting in the middle must be someone special... I can only deduce from her long hair that she's most likely a woman."
Someone pointed to where Lu Wanxing was sitting: "Do you think it's possible that she's a sugar daddy? Otherwise, Lu Wanxing wouldn't be sitting on such a small chair; she's clearly just accompanying someone to a concert."
"Are you saying that Chu Kong likes Lu Wanxing's sugar daddy?"
"Speaking of which, isn't Tangxing Entertainment owned by Lu Wanxing's family? The boss is his sister, so how could he have a sugar daddy?"
These words silenced the others once again.
The person filming the video casually remarked, "In a way, his 'sugar daddy' is his sister—"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Someone slapped their thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! Could this person be Zigui?"
Zigui has even performed on stage in the university league.
Video materials are not hard to find.
The group dug out the video from that time and watched it again.
"Talented and a great beauty... it's only natural that Chu Kong would like her, right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The person at the head of the table slammed his hand on the table: "You've already reached a conclusion, what are you all standing around for? Go write your scoop!"
"You'd better hurry before the other media outlets find out!"
The group scattered in a panic.
Meanwhile, Chu Kong & Lu Wanxing's "The Night Asks the Day" and "Keywords", Chu Kong's amazing performance of "Mercury" appeared on the trending search list that night.
The next day, the first topic became the new headline.
The video of the two singing together was pinned to the top of the screen.
The number of views is increasing by more than ten million per hour.
Both of them have such beautiful voices, looking forward to their next collaboration.
[Don't you think they're having a competition? They're both singing so hard, is the one who sings worse not allowed to eat?]
[During the later chorus, I always hallucinate that they're about to fight.]
[Singing so well, are you not going to leave any room for other singers?]
[The best new generation of singers in Dongzhou! Please, you two should debut as a duo!]
I never imagined you two would be so compatible.
[This song is great, and the new song is great too. When will the live version be available on music platforms? I want to listen to it on repeat.]
With you guys in the music scene, it can hardly be considered barren, right?
……
The adapted choral version of "The Night Asks the Day" has amazed countless people.
Even listeners in the West have many of them on their playlists.
Even the new song "Keywords" skipped the "fermentation" stage of gaining popularity; as soon as it was released, it garnered an astonishing number of plays.
In contrast, Chu Kong's amazing performance of "Mercury" seems to have received less attention.
However, the number of views is also not to be underestimated.
The reason is simple: Chu Kong's performance this time was particularly moving.
'Truly touching the heart'
'A Different Kind of Mercury'
There's a kind of loneliness in never being able to reach the one you love.
'The Ceiling of Unrequited Love Songs'
'The most divine song among emo songs'
'I want to cry when I hear it'
'Completely replaces the official version'
……
These are all reviews of this version of Mercury.
Few people mentioned anything unusual about Chu Kong when he sang this song.
Even if it's mentioned, it will quickly be drowned out by other comments.
Chu Kong, who frequently surfs the internet, easily understood that Chu Yue was probably behind this.
He had nothing to say about it.
In any case, it's good that the concert ended successfully.
As for Lu Wantang—
Just as Chu Kong was about to sigh, a WeChat message notification sounded.
The person who sent the message has the nickname Lu Wanxing.
He wanted to sigh even more.
Seeing Lu Wanxing's roundabout and probing words, Chu Kong's finger paused on it for a long time before finally deciding to tell the truth.
If he doesn't even have the courage to admit it, then he's utterly useless.
Then, naturally, he was bombarded with one message after another from Lu Wanxing.
The message was clear: stay away from my sister.
If anyone else had spoken in such an aggressive tone, Chu Kong would have already snapped back.
But what can you do when the other party is Lu Wanxing?
Therefore, Chu Kong could only agree, while also promising not to disturb Wan Tang.
