Chapter 72: Chapter 072: The Shining Stage! Chapter 72: Chapter 072: The Shining Stage! “Being friends with Teacher Wen is the greatest honor of my life! When Teacher Wen invited me, I was always nervous, afraid that my imperfect sense of tone would scare Teacher Wen! As I was about to go onstage, I decided not to start singing right away to spare everyone a shock—I even borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha! Teacher Wen, you have to cover for this poor little soul!”
Shen Yan turned around with a smile.
Wen Yan burst out laughing, “Who says we’re friends? I’ll even accept your devilish noise! I’ve got your back, so go ahead and play to your heart’s content!”
As Shen Yan spoke, she walked toward the drum set that had been moved out earlier, placed the microphone on it, and adjusted it properly.
Wen Yan smiled and nodded at her.
“The next song, a Cantonese track, will be delivered by Shen Yan and me for everyone!”
A wave of excitement erupted from the audience!
The moment the drums started playing, the lights and cameras shifted their focus.
Under the lights, the powerful silhouette of the girl was partially revealed, her movements cool and the impactful sense of the sound seemed to take on her charisma as well!
Shen Yan and Wen Yan coordinated flawlessly.
The combination of high notes and vocals brought the fans a different kind of ultimate pleasure; the venue was nearly exploding with excitement!
“You wouldn’t expect it, but little sister has quite a blast in her!” Zhang Yu said with a touch of admiration as he watched Shen Yan at the venue.
Su Huai said, “I also saw that show; her skills are indeed very strong, and it’s clear that Wen Yan genuinely considers her a friend.”
A friend of Wen Yan is a friend of theirs.
Su Huai was actually a very gentle and reserved person, not quite as expressive as Xie Xuan, but he went to great lengths when it came to protecting Wen Yan.
Whenever anyone bullied Wen Yan, he struck back fiercely.
Zhang Yu nodded and smiled with amusement, “I really like this little sister!”
Xie Xuan still hadn’t joined them, his gaze fixated on the stage.
After a while, Xie Xuan frowned slightly, “Wen Yan is too excited today; his throat won’t be able to take it.”
“When is he not like this?” Zhang Yu walked over to him, raised his hand and patted him, “Move over; let me take a look.”
Xie Xuan didn’t move.
Zhang Yu could only poke his head out; on the stage, one song had just ended, and Wen Yan was panting while he adjusted his in-ear monitor.
The fans went a bit crazy, begging for another song!
Shen Yan had already taken the microphone and walked over with Wen Yan to interact closely with the fans, choosing a softer foreign song.
Wen Yan’s voice was naturally good, and as soon as he started singing, it elicited screams from the fans.
When Shen Yan sang the female part, everyone was instantly stunned!
The Fireworks fans who had heard Shen Yan sing that ballad before were even more excited than the others!
Shen Yan’s pronunciation was very pure, even more fluent than her native language songs.
“Shen Yan isn’t from a music college, right?” Zhang Yu suddenly turned around and asked.
No one answered her.
Because for many, Shen Yan was someone they only learned about today.
And even those who knew of Shen Yan didn’t know much about her.
The songs Shen Yan prepared all found their place among the waves of fans crying for another encore, and when Shen Yan ran into any trouble, Wen Yan flawlessly took over.
After all, having been on three shows together, they did share some chemistry.
With the limited time given to Shen Yan, it was really not easy to achieve this level.
The concert’s live broadcast audience was nearly bursting!
Especially the Fireworks fans.
Knowing that Shen Yan had gone to Wen Yan’s concert, they all stood by at the live broadcast window, just waiting to see Shen Yan appear.
Then they took screenshots and videos and posted them online.
With Shen Yan’s popularity, they rapidly climbed to number five on the trending searches!
And the #WenYanConcert tag was also pushed to another level, with the combined support of several fan groups, keeping the concert’s popularity soaring!
There were fans for Shen Yan, but of course, there were also some who ridiculed and cynically trolled her, searching for all kinds of angles to attack her.
“They said she couldn’t sing and yet had the audacity to embarrass herself at someone else’s concert, really overestimating herself.”
“They even said she forced Wen Yan to take her along.”
“In short, they would tarnish her reputation however they could.”
“In the end, Shen Yan played the guitar on the spot, and Wen Yan actually sang a song a cappella, the only accompaniment being the guitar in Shen Yan’s hands!”
“The guitar and Wen Yan’s singing matched perfectly, a seamless beauty!”
“Being able to perform solely with the guitar, both their talents were genuinely showcased!”
“This gave it a rather unique feel.”
“Even after Shen Yan left the stage, the fans were still left wanting more.”
“Mainly because just standing under the lights, without singing or dancing, Shen Yan and Wen Yan still looked eye-pleasing!”
Liu Su mentioned the call from the Shen family to Qi Si and said Shen Yan was very unhappy after receiving a call from Mrs. Shen.
But turning around, he saw Shen Yan getting excited on the stage again, and Liu Su felt relieved.
While Shen Yan was performing, he shot several videos and sent them out.
Qi Si saw the continuous pop-up of videos, his forehead vein twitching slightly.
He had endured and endured, yet still gave Liu Su a chance, not deleting him as a friend.
It was probably because of that call, Qi Si clicked on the videos that followed, seeing Shen Yan dazzling on stage, he slightly raised his eyebrows.
There wasn’t a trace of expression on his face.
Watching her coordinate with the people on stage, exchanging smiles and interactions, as well as interacting with the fans, his eyebrows raised again.
Shen Yan went backstage, and it was Wen Yan’s solo time.
Wen Yan debuted several new songs, once again stirring the fans’ emotions.
Shen Yan felt the fans’ throats were nearly hoarse from shouting, their excitement uncontainable, genuinely worried they wouldn’t be able to take it and pass out.
“Shen Yan, let’s exchange contact information!”
Zhang Yu saw her coming back and immediately grabbed her to exchange contact methods.
Shen Yan hesitated but ended up giving her the contact information.
Seeing this, Su Huai did not ask for her private WeChat, instead, he went to a social platform and followed Shen Yan.
Xie Xuan had just pulled out his phone when outside, a wave of sounds erupted.
He handed his phone to the manager, then hurried out to join Wen Yan.
The uproar was more astounding than any other!
Zhang Yu laughed, “Little King Xie, every time he appears, it causes a frenzy.”
Shen Yan nodded, understanding the fans’ feelings.
“Are you staying or going back first?” asked Zhang Yu.
“There’s nothing to do if I go back, so I’m staying here to watch the entire show, and if there’s a chance to coordinate later, I can join in,” Shen Yan didn’t plan on leaving; she watched the two shining under their own lights moving towards each other, then stirring a wave of excitement!
So thrilling!
Xie Xuan was very talented, but on stage, he deliberately subdued his own brilliance and subtly enhanced Wen Yan’s.
Their coordination was truly perfect!
At that moment, Zhang Yu’s voice echoed again next to Shen Yan’s ear, “Little King Xie was Wen Yan’s senior in high school. It’s said that before Xie Xuan made a name for himself with his singing, it was Wen Yan who was running around for him, even several songs were written by Wen Yan, and he helped pull some strings…”
Su Huai spoke somewhat speechlessly, “Don’t say ‘it’s said.’ You were a part of it.”
Zhang Yu gave a sheepish smile, “This isn’t just telling a story to sister Shen Yan? Using ‘it’s said’ adds a bit more narrative flavor!”
Su Huai looked at Shen Yan and continued, “We all came from the same school, I, Zhang Yu, and Xie Xuan, all from the same class. Wen Yan was several classes behind, but attended the same school. Xie Xuan and I are neighbors to Wen Yan; our families are both in music, naturally influencing each other.”
Shen Yan listened and nodded slightly, briefly puzzled by Su Huai sharing this with her, then she paused.
He was treating her as a friend by sharing this with her.
Shen Yan’s gaze moved past the layers of lights, focusing on the two slender figures at the center of the stage, showing a complex expression for the first time!
