AWB Chapter 695 Concert Guest 3
Chapter 695 Concert Guest 3
Lu Wantang, whose technique for petting a dog was indeed the same as that for patting her younger brother's head, received a look from her brother that was half accusatory and half aggrieved. She immediately coughed twice and withdrew her hand.
Just then, Lu Wanxing's assistant brought over a chair.
Lu Wantang stopped looking at him, pretending that nothing had happened:
"Cough, let's listen to music."
"It seems Chu Kong is going to sing something like—"
“Mercury,” Lu Wanxing continued.
No wonder the intro sounded familiar right from the start.
Lu Wantang nodded knowingly.
“When we were rehearsing and going through the process, I heard Brother Chu sing a few times. He must be taking this concert very seriously. Every time I went to see him, it seemed like he was either in the dance studio or practicing singing.”
After exchanging a few casual words, their gazes both turned to the stage.
The long, resonant tones of the synthesizer, combined with the delayed electric guitar, create a sense of space, as if floating in outer space.
The piano music played by Chu Kong's fingers had a slightly cold and subdued rhythm.
'Fascinated by your eyes'
'The Milky Way has traces'
……
'Attracting My Trajectory'
Breathy singing style, with a husky, textured voice.
It infused that cold atmosphere with a feeling of weariness and loneliness.
Chu Kong slightly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the position corresponding to the very center of the stage.
'This fleeting moment'
……
……
Only then would I dare to say I'm addicted.
"This time you sang even better than during practice, no, even better than the officially released version! What do you think, sis?"
Lu Wanxing couldn't help but gasp softly, then scratched her head:
"But why is Brother Chu staring this way? Am I mistaken? Or is he just casually looking ahead?"
"Have it?"
Lu Wantang hadn't really paid much attention to this.
She shared the same feeling as Lu Wanxing: Chu Kong's rendition this time was better than any previous version.
Especially the emotions intertwined within it.
That kind of loneliness—'I love you so much, I want to be close to you, but I have to keep my distance from you'—is almost overflowing!
How much further must I go before I can enter your heart?
……
……
'Around the Planet'
How could I/have you?
When singing certain words, Chu Kong's pronunciation even revealed a sense of fragmentation.
Her skill in singing love songs is already on par with He Zhi's.
In the past, Lu Wantang would have been unable to resist applauding and praising him.
But just as Lu Wanxing was muttering to herself, she met Chu Kong's gaze.
This person was actually looking at her?!
The brief interlude ended while Lu Wantang was still in a daze.
'I'll tell you a dream—'
Music is a language.
Lu Wantang confirmed this again.
She might misinterpret the look in Chu Kong's eyes, or think it was just an illusion.
But the singing will not.
The deep emotion conveyed in the song is absolutely genuine.
She suddenly thought of the violet bracelet on her wrist and recalled Chang Yun's strange, hesitant expression...
It turned out to be the case.
While Lu Wantang understood, she also realized that she might indeed be slow to grasp this aspect.
After all, all she could think about was making artists famous, developing her company, and taking a break on the side; she hadn't thought about these things at all.
It's only natural that they would overlook it, right?
'Traveling around is boring'
'At least'
'Stay with you'
Accompanied by melodious piano music, the words of confession were subtly hidden in the song's ending.
Lu Wanxing, who was always attentive to her older sister's condition, immediately sensed that something was wrong.
He looked at Lu Wantang suspiciously, then glanced at Chu Kong, whose gaze had been fixed on the wrong spot, and his eyes widened instantly.
"Sis, is Brother Chu looking at you? No, are you two making eye contact?"
He seemed about to ask what their relationship was at any moment.
Lu Wantang lightly patted the back of his head: "Why is he looking at me for no reason? Don't overthink it."
"Oh."
Lu Wanxing's face clearly showed disbelief.
Lu Wantang narrowed her eyes and pinched his cheek. "You're so gossipy, are you an undercover agent sent by the paparazzi?"
"What's so gossipy about it?" Lu Wanxing muttered. "I'm just worried about you! What if you get scammed by some random guy?"
"Oh, Chu Kong is a wild man?" Lu Wantang raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Those who have ulterior motives are all like that!"
Lu Wanxing answered decisively.
Lu Wantang patted his head, speaking in a tone befitting a silly child:
"Don't overthink it. How could your sister be that popular?"
is it?
What about all those love letters and gifts that Brother Yun handled?
Is it considered garbage?
Lu Wanxing's questioning look was all too obvious.
But forced by his sister's bloodline, he had no choice but to relent: "Okay, I won't think about it too much."
"good."
Lu Wantang gently patted someone's head again.
Although the technique felt very familiar, Lu Wanxing was already used to it.
Right now, all he can think about is asking Chang Yun after the concert to confirm whether his guess is correct.
Lu Wantang herself had already adjusted her mindset.
Although she understood what Chu Kong meant in that one glance they exchanged.
But Chu Kong didn't make it clear that she didn't need to be on high alert.
We don't see each other every day, so there's no need to feel awkward.
Unbeknownst to the siblings, after the song ended, Chu Kong fell into a brief silence, his earpiece filled with Chu Yue's furious shouts.
"Hey kid, you better stop this! Don't be fooled by the fact that people are sitting in the audience and staring at you like that!"
"Do you really want to confess your feelings in public? That would cause her a lot of trouble, and I can guarantee she wouldn't be happy about it!"
"I told you not to stare! Get your eyes off me, you hear me? This is the first show of the tour, if you mess this up you'll be home alone!"
"If you keep doing this, who will want to come to your concert?"
"There were so many media outlets present, do you think they're blind?!"
Chu Kong wanted to ignore Chu Yue's words.
But in the end, reason prevailed.
He stood up and bowed to the audience, saying, "This song is for you."
"it is good!"
"Ahhhhhh, Chu Kong!"
"Chu Kong!!"
"Chu Kong!!!"
Amid the screams, there were also whispers and comments.
"You sang 'Mercury' really well this time."
"I can't explain it, but I just have this urge to cry."
"It feels even better than the original! Has Chu Kong's singing improved?"
"It's not about singing skills, it's about the emotions. This time you sang very emotionally, it had a feeling of 'You don't like me, but I love you very much and want to try to get closer to you'."
Was he looking at the audience just now?
"Could it be my sister-in-law?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Spreading rumors out of thin air is not a sign of good civilization."
……
Various voices were hidden within the cheers.
If the VVIP seats weren't some distance from the VIP and regular seats, Lu Wanxing might have heard something.
Of course, even though he didn't hear it, he stared intently at Chu Kong during the second half of the concert, as if trying to find something different.
Unfortunately, Chu Kong's performance in the second half was quite normal, and he didn't seem to be paying any attention to Lu Wantang.
