At the end of the current recording of “Song of the Night”, all the guests sat around on the stage and the judges announced the ranking of the competition. Yan Qing firmly won the first place, and the singers who competed in the same field could only admire her.
No one worried that her good grades were influenced by Mr. Huo’s appearance. Huo Yunshen was very cautious and waited until the jury had voted before showing up, just to give Yan Qing the most fair judgment.
Qingqing’s singing voice never needed any other factors to add to it.
The chief director of “Song of the Night” also nodded frequently to Yan Qing, and whispered to the music director next to him: “In the beginning, when I invited Yan Qing, most likely it was because of her topicality, and I didn’t know too much about how well she sang. I was looking forward to it, I didn’t expect her to be so good…”
The director sighed with a smile: “No, with her voice, there is no second one in the circle. Her voice is ethereal and clear, but still a little hoarse. She brought out the heat in that kind of non-human song Fireworks, and she can write lyrics and compose music, her last performance “Firefly” was sweet and catchy, and the show topped various charts as soon as it aired, absolutely amazing.”
“She is the only one who can become a veritable popular actress as a singer. She is so unique,” the director lit a cigarette.
“Beautiful, no wonder Mr. Huo likes her so much.”
“It’s a pity to say that Huo Yunshen, who is cold-hearted, cares so much, but in the end she is just a stand-in…”
When they were muttering to each other, the shooting process was over, and the “stand-in” Yan Qing came from the stage. Standing up from the seat on the table, her high heels took a few steps to Huo Yunshen who was waiting for her.
Mr. Huo held a shawl in his hand, his fingers were slender and clear, and his cool white complexion was lined with dark cashmere, which made him look dignified and elegant.
After all, in front of this person, everyone lowered their brows and lowered their eyes, breathing carefully.
The shawl was lifted up to wrap around Yan Qing.
Before Huo Yunshen took his wife in his arms and left, Min Jing and a few assistants came in at the right time, holding a neat luxury gift bag in his hand, and distributed a copy to the program team and the guests.
Assistant Min smiled lightly: “Everyone is madam’s colleague, please accept Mr. Huo’s little care.”
Some people couldn’t wait to open the bag, then they stared and gasped. Those presents didn’t have a lot of expensive clothes, but they were also amazed at what they received.
Sending out dozens of packages worth six or seven figures at random for just mere dew colleagues.
Mr. Huo was not afraid that he would praise Yan Qing to the sky.
The atmosphere in the recording hall was lively, Huo Yunshen took Yan Qing’s hand and led her to the car, and on the way back, Lin Yuan’s messages popped out one after another.
The ancient puppet show “Qingsi” as the ending theme was launched tonight, and it was full of climaxes when it first aired. “Qingsi” also appeared as an interlude in the first three episodes many times.
It was a coincidence that the Gu Feng online game endorsed by Yan Qing released the official MV of the promotion song almost at the same time. The “Goddess of Ancient Costume” who was questioned at the beginning, displayed this title in an all-round way with dynamic pictures. The music style and singing style that complemented each other had doubly confirmed her strength.
The “goddess of ancient costume” was really biased, and it simply insulted Yan Qing’s talent. The fans were so passionate that they put the corrected “goddess of ancient style” on the hot search in one fell swoop.
Regardless of whether it was based on appearance or singing skills, I am sorry that our Yan Qing is a mountain that ordinary people like you can only look up to.
But compared to these, it was the last scene of the MV that made netizens feel the most bloody.
The general’s phantom was wearing armour, and it only lasted for a few seconds, but——, that was Huo Yunshen himself!
The black fans who were busy brushing #Yan Qing is a stand-in that can’t see the light# were going crazy, they were dispatched every minute to lead the way, mocking Yan Qing’s fans for dreaming and blinding, what was Huo Yunshen’s identity, could he participate in a MV?
In the car, Yan Qing had frozen the frame in shock, and showing it to Huo Yunshen: “The online game company dares to show you sideways!”
Huo Yunshen looked at her with a half-smile.
Yan Qing had an epiphany: “You ordered it?”
“It’s not true. They came to ask, but I just didn’t refuse.”
Hearing the tone, it seemed so calm and cold, but in fact the light in his eyes was like fireworks.
Yan Qing suppressed a smile, and tugged on his sleeve: “But Mr. Huo, many people don’t believe it’s you.”
Huo Yunshen frowned, hugged Yan Qing into his arms, wrapped his arms around her, placed the phone in front of her, while pressing her tender ear bones: “Mr. Huo has evidence.”
He opened the photo album, and Yan Qing was surprised that his phone was full of her photos.
Turning forward many pages, the frame was fixed on the evening when he was wearing the ancient costume.
He actually asked the director team to click a lot of on-site photos at that time, with all kinds of angles.
Yan Qing thought he was going to pick a few and post them in a large size, but Huo Yunshen logged into the former star chasing small account, skilfully brought up the topic, and posted a full nine grids.
His pictures were always close and clear, and many of her private trips could be photographed. Fan circles had always suspected that he was a staff member next to Yan Qing, and there were even private letters scolding him for using the public to seek personal gain.
Once this picture was released today, the speculation was severely hammered, and there was no need to rely on the side profile to compare back and forth, he had directly uploaded the high-definition front view.
That’s right, Huo Yunshen, who usually looked like the king of Hades with a cold face!
The special account for chasing stars fell for a while.
Yan Qing held her breath, feeling that this matter would never end: “Shenshen, what are you going to do?”
Huo Yunshen’s chest pressed against her thin back, completely confining her slender body, and smiled softly: “Come on, it’s fun for the baby to see.”
He switched to the certified real-name account, found the picture just posted by the trumpet, and pressed forward.
In the text box, he entered five words that were extremely simple and clear, “My star chasing account.”
This account was famous in the fan circle, but it had always been an account that did not talk too much. A large group of people had cursed it, and asked him to reveal his real identity, and even opened an account to mock his first Weibo “This is my wife”
Huo Yunshen said that it was him.
Countless people couldn’t sleep at night, including the puppet show team, biting their handkerchiefs.
They made a lot of money. They thought they could dominate the hot searches and dominate the limelight, but when Mr. Huo came out, they all became scumbags, but it was fine if they were wiped out of their underwear. After all, Mrs. Huo sang their songs, they could still catch the heat.
The scary thing was that they had been Yan Qing’s fans from the director to the stage manager, during the period of “Rise It! Girls”. At the beginning, a bunch of people ran to Mr. Huo’s “This is my wife” to join in the fun by cursing and saying in unison, “Roll, Qing Bao is my wife.”
Yan Qing reached out to cover Huo Yunshen’s phone screen, turned her head to kiss him, and said quietly: “Shenshen, you put yourself too low.”
Her man had the entire Huo family business behind him, and since he took over, the Huo family had the same style of work as his, always cold and solemn, no matter what the occasion was, they would act decisively and never talk about human feelings.
He had always been the unattainable existence in public opinion.
But now…, he supported her with his own hands, lifted her up to the clouds, and wished he could stand in the ravine.
Huo Yunshen said in a deep voice, “You think I’m low because you’re not looking at the world above, but at me.”
So much splendour couldn’t attract her, the first thing she thought of was to lower her head and caress him distressedly.
His little fool.
Yan Qing huddled in his arms, changed direction, faced him, and said softly, “I’m sorry, my vision is very small, I can’t see much of the world, I can only see one person.”
Huo Yunshen murmured contentedly: “When will my wife rectify my name? I’m not a scum looking for a substitute.”
Yan Qing remembered that he had been scolded as a “scumbag” on the Internet, rubbed his face with a broken smile, and deliberately put it off: “Then how about I look at your performance.”
Among the hot spots that piled up this night, although there was not enough attention at the time, it was dug out two weeks later and became a gathering place for lemonade screams.
The Weibo was very ordinary, it was a blog about actresses with millions of followers.
It only posted the tea-green long dress that Yan Qing wore when recording the show, and the matching jewellery. There were too many topics at the time, and most people just glanced at it in a hurry. Yes, the skirt was a high-end luxury brand with an eight-figure price tag.
There were too many zeros on the back of the jewellery’s price, which could dazzle you if you were not careful.
The blogger also wrote a small note, according to the usual sales practice of the two brands, these were Yan Qing’s private property.
Other female stars had to contact sponsors everywhere to borrow dresses for large-scale red carpets. While Yan Qing could record a random episode of the show while wearing sky-high priced attire.
The black fans almost died of anger one by one.
The worst thing was not how extravagant Yan Qing’s rich wife life was, but the reason why this Weibo was dug up.
Two top luxury brands, one officially announced Yan Qing as their brand ambassador, and the other announced that she was the new season’s spokesperson after blowing a wave of rainbow farts for Yan Qing.
The first-line actresses wanted to snatch up the resources, but they fell into the hands of Yan Qing.
In some cases, fans of the two brands raised questions, and the relevant executives of the two major brands gave concise answers in unanimous agreement.
After summarizing the meaning, the meaning was almost the same as long as Yan Qing stood there, the whole person was very “expensive”.
A daughter taught by a big family had an indelible charm in her bones, and she was pampered by her lover like a treasure. She didn’t need to be shaped, and she didn’t need to rely on makeup to support her aura. Swinging skirts like ordinary dresses and singing leisurely were an incomparable brand image.
Yan Qing was insanely busy for a month.
Three magazine covers, four commercials, in addition to high luxury brands, there were endorsements for cosmetics and drinks and chocolates, plus the finalization and announcement of the new album.
Yan Qing knew that Huo Yunshen was deeply left out in the cold.
But she was preparing for two things that had to be done.
The first thing was that she was invited to Weibo’s mid-year ceremony. There were many pork awards, but the final winner of the popularity crown would have two chances to perform.
Among the many awards ceremonies, only this one attracted the most attention.
The day before the grand ceremony, Yan Qing made preparations all night. She lay down in sweat on the floor of the long-lost practice room, and sent Huo Yunshen a WeChat message: “Shenshen baby, I invite you to watch the performance at seven o’clock tomorrow night.”
Shenshen baby replied to her: “Qingqing kitten, please remember who you really are.”
Yan Qing laughed to death, and asked him: “Who am I?”
Shenshen restrained the useless exclamation point: “You’re my wife.”
Yan Qing was on the ground rolling around, then she sent him a voice message, and coaxed softly: “Hey, I’ve been busy lately, but I’ll be with you every day when I’m done with work.”
Huo Yunshen stood leaning against the car in the night wind, looking up at the practice room with lights upstairs, it was like going back to the days when he watched her every night and waited to see her.
He restrained the urge to go up and catch her, he had a smile in his pupils, but his tone was ruthless: “You must make it up to me twice.”
As a group, perform on stage as a guest.
In the last match at that time, Yan Qing withdrew and postponed her debut position to the tenth place, but he and all the players unanimously refused.
Eight of them stood in a row, and said that the C position in the center would rather be empty forever.
On the stage where several cameras were pointed at, the eight-person group sang and danced fast-paced dance music. In the middle of the stage, the stage lights changed suddenly, and a silvery white halo diffused towards the lifting platform.
In the audience seats in the front row, a person sat up straight, opened his eyes that had been closed since entering the arena, solemnly took out the latest upgraded color-changing hairpin, turned on the switch and put it on his head.
In the dark scene, he flashed the two big characters of “Qing Bao”.
Without stopping, he continued to spread a piece of folded soft cloth, and hung it on the railing in front with ease. When the button was pressed, it immediately transformed into a huge light sign.
Then there were two luminous hand banners, the content was the same as the light board, which was concise “Qing Bao, I am here”.
Such a series of actions were completed in a few seconds, and the aura around him was covered by the noise, which caused the little girls next to him to have the courage to ask him in confusion, “Qing Bao will come out later—” Before she finished speaking, the man pulled and took off the mask that covered the bridge of his nose.
On the front platform, the lifting platform reached the highest.
There was a moment of dead silence in the audience, and then the screams were deafening.
Yan Qing flicked her hair and raised her face amid the halo. Her long legs under the short skirt were slender and straight. Her facial features were projected onto the large high-definition screen as she accurately followed the next line of the song.
But it was not the original song, instead it was an original piece that she had embedded in it, which didn’t feel obtrusive at all, it was completely natural.
The eight members of the group automatically divided into two dials, and the light beam pushed Yan Qing forward, and she stood in the center as the lead dancer and lead singer.
The scene was completely boiling.
Huo Yunshen stood among the fanatical crowd, raising his hands high.
Holding the microphone in hand, Yan Qing passed through the turbulent crowd, looked directly at the seat she had reserved, and saw the words that accompanied her on every stage.
She was a timid little player, and he was a big fan who would never move.
He chased her all the way, she didn’t want Mr. Huo’s idol to stop being scolded by the whole network that night, she wanted to give him the most colourful performance in this way.
Not only the scene, but the whole network was also driven crazy by the sudden cooperation on stage.
Apart from everything, absolute ability and visual enjoyment were unchangeable fatal attractions.
“My god, the real C position! This is how the eternally vacant C position of a “Rise It! Girls” should look like!”
“What kind of god is this! Why can she kill people to the point of bleeding after leaving the singing and dancing stage for so long?!”
“I regret it. Is it alright, Miss Sister, can you come back and be an idol?”
“What about being married! I don’t dream of marrying you, I can just dream of being with you! I will support you and make a list, please become an idol ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”
After the cooperation with the “Rise It! Girls” Group of Eight ended, Yan Qing faced the auditorium and put her hands on top of her head generously, making a gesture of heart.
Following her direction, many people turned their heads and bumped into Mr. Huo who took off his disguise and was sticking to many Qing Bao aids.
The scene got out of control again.
At the end of the grand ceremony, Yan Qing put on the crown of popularity by relying on Yiqi Juechen’s network data. She changed her dress and walked onto the stage again, sat in front of the piano, and said with a smile: “The next three minutes will be a new song.”
Everyone knew that the song titles and album title of her new album were still being kept secret.
Yan Qing’s eyes were clear, mottled with water.
“The name of the new song, “Nian Shen”.”
The man in the audience was stunned, staring at her with dark eyes.
Yan Qing pressed the keys.
She sang the first sentence, and the ending was choked with sobs, which was just right and touching.
For three minutes, she never took her eyes off the motionless figure.
He was obviously very small and couldn’t be seen clearly, but she could sense all his emotions.
The last line, she sang.
“After the snowstorm, I will grow old with you.”
Her eyelashes were covered with mist, and she could clearly hear his silent tears sinking into her hot heart.
Besides this night, Yan Qing had another thing to do.
After the new album “Nian Shen” was launched, it quickly occupied the major charts, fighting for position on the charts every day, and several title songs quickly became popular keywords, and successfully entered the competition for the most authoritative awards in the current music scene.
But that didn’t stop the black fans from persistently firing at Yan Qing.
From the name of “Nian Shen” to the lyrics, they ridiculed her as a stand-in without a bottom line. “Did the affectionate couple get divorced today?” also jumped out to post on Weibo, begging Yan Qing to save herself some face.
“Not only won’t you get a divorce, but you’ll also treat yourself as a court lady!”
The awards were based on the comprehensive results from last year to this year. In the sluggish music world, it had been a long time since there had been such an original singer who could drive popularity and also had strength. Even if it was just an album, it had been released in such a short time. Regardless of physical sales or network data, it had far surpassed other singers who released albums in the same year.
On the night of the awards ceremony, Yan Qing didn’t let Huo Yunshen come. This time it was different from the previous performance. She had a lot to say. She didn’t want…to have him on the scene, facing the cusp of questioning directly.
The award ceremony was halfway through, and Yan Qing received the most popular song of the year and the popularity award of the year, but what she wanted was the “Female Singer of the Year” that represented everyone’s affirmation.
Until ten o’clock at night, the ceremony came to an end, and this was the only award that hadn’t been announced yet.
The screen at the back scrolled through the finalists.
The award presenters deliberately slowed down the speech speed of the reading.
Yan Qing pinched the palms of her hands, and her emotions suddenly flooded.
She missed Huo Yunshen so much.
She hadn’t been with him properly for many days.
Yan Qing pursed her red lips tightly, not noticing the man who was not far behind her and was staring at her from beginning to end.
The guests read the name aloud.
“Female singer of the year, Yan Qing.”
Yan Qing was immediately surrounded by light, she couldn’t wait to stand up, step on the steps, and walk forward into the light.
In the invisible shadow behind her, the man in suit and leather shoes got up and followed her to the stage.
During the dinner, there were many of Yan Qing’s colleagues and fans. Everyone looked at her with complicated eyes, and seemed to want to grab her and ask, “What’s wrong with your mind that you want to be a substitute for someone else?”
Yan Qing took the microphone, looking at the dark sea of people.
When everyone thought she would give a common acceptance speech, Yan Qing opened her mouth with a soft and steady voice.
“I have been ill for a while.”
The audience suddenly fell silent.
Yan Qing’s eyes were soft, and she held the microphone and said quietly: “I was so ill that I lost my memory. For more than three years, I thought I was someone else. I didn’t know my name was Yun Qing, and I didn’t know that there was someone in this world, who was looking for me crazily day after day.”
At the big awards ceremony, there were exclamations and gasps.
Huo Yunshen stared at his lover intently.
The tip of Yan Qing’s nose turned red.
“The night I signed the contract for “Rise It! Girls”, I heard Huo Yunshen’s name for the first time in other people’s comments, and I remembered his face. After that, it took me half a year to finally walk back to Huo Yunshen as Yun Qing.”
“He has never found a substitute, and I am not a substitute for his old love.”
“Mr. Huo’s old love is me.”
“This award,” Yan Qing laughed, “I give it to Huo Yunshen as a gift, we have no sadomasochism, and we will not divorce, and I want to tell every friend who has followed him to find someone…”
Yan Qing held the trophy, and at this moment saw the person in the shadow among the audience.
Why is he here!
Yan Qing lost her voice for a moment, and the ending trembled: “He found me.”
Amidst the uproar, Yan Qing walked down heavily, while Huo Yunshen stepped out of the shadows, stepped up the steps, and stretched out his hand towards her.
His legs were healed, and he no longer had to use the darkness as a barrier.
He could stand in the brightest place and greet her with every gaze on them.
After the announcement of the most valuable awards, the awards ceremony was also equivalent to have ended. Every year at this time the bustle was gone, but this year they were frantically surrounded and crowded by reporters.
On the red carpet passage leading to the outside of the awards ceremony, Huo Yunshen took off his suit and carefully wrapped Yan Qing’s bare shoulders and arms around her waist, protecting her like a copper wall.
The flash lights lit up.
The reporters didn’t dare to get too close, so they could only compete in decibels, chattering excitedly and rushing to ask questions.
“Mr. Huo, may I ask if Yan Qing is really the old love you had been looking for?”
“Yan Qing and Yun Qing are indeed the same person?”
“Were you sure from the beginning? Or you used her as a substitute first, and then slowly discovered the truth?”
The bodyguards on both sides aggressively cleared the way, and the reporters surrounded them and refused to give up.
Huo Yunshen stopped.
He took Yan Qing into his arms, brushed the shattered black hair off her cheeks, and looked up at the dozens of shots that were aimed at him.
The reporters all held their breath, waiting for his answer.
Huo Yunshen hugged his young and beautiful wife tightly, showing a smile for the first time.
He opened his mouth, and his words resounded loudly.
“There is no new love or old love. In my life, there is only her.”
