It was late at night, and the two fell into a deep sleep hugging each other.

In her sleep, Gu Youran unconsciously stroked her still flat belly, where she kept her secret that had not yet been revealed.

At six o'clock the next morning, Shi Heng's biological clock woke him up on time.

He subconsciously reached to his side, but found that Gu Youran was no longer in bed.

The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom, and she could faintly be heard humming the melody from "Between the Strings".

The phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated wildly.

When I opened the screen, the top ten trending searches on Weibo were:

#Over the Strings' first-day box office reached 280 million yuan#

#Kneeling to ask Beyond the Strings to release an album#

#谷youranacting#

#Shi Group's private pampering of his wife#

#Cinema Chorus Unfinished Gift#

"Ah Heng!" Gu Youran rushed out with wet hair. "Director Cen just called me and said that yesterday..."

"280 million."

Shi Heng shook his phone and took a towel to wipe her hair. "This doesn't even include the midnight show."

Her eyes widened, water droplets falling from the ends of her hair. "How is this possible? The movie was only released in theaters nationwide at 7 o'clock last night."

Shi Heng gently wrapped the towel around her wet hair, his voice filled with an unconcealable smile.

"Audiences have been waiting eight years for this biopic about global rock star Lenna."

After drying his hair, he clicked on the second most searched entry.

The top Weibo post is a nine-square grid from a well-known music critic:

I watched "Beyond the Strings" three times last night, and the snippets of the five original songs were simply not enough! Xingyao Entertainment, do you dare to release a full album? I'll buy it!

The accompanying picture is a still from the movie of Gu Youran playing the guitar, and it has received over a million likes.

The top comment was actually Gu Xun’s reply:

[It has been put on the agenda, waiting for good news. 】

Followed by 30,000 "Hahaha"s and 20,000 "Hurry up".

"Gu Xun is good at riding on the popularity."

Shi Heng turned his phone towards Gu Youran, his fingertips hovering over the crowdfunding page with the 4.7 million yuan target. "Your fans' creativity is truly amazing."

Gu Youran took a closer look and her eyes widened in surprise. "Is this... a crowdfunding campaign initiated by my big fan, 'Little Angel of Music'?"

"That's right."

Shi Heng clicked on the details page. "Everyone donated 20 yuan, 235,000 people participated, and in less than 10 hours, 4.7 million yuan was raised."

He chuckled and shook his head. "The title also said, 'Everyone donate 20 yuan to Mr. Shi to make an album, so he knows what money power is.'"

Gu Youran chuckled: "This group of fans..."

She suddenly thought of something and asked worriedly, "So much money..."

"Don't worry." Shi Heng had already opened the Weibo editing page, "I have a better idea."

His fingers moved quickly across the screen.

Five minutes later, Shi Heng's official account updated:

Thank you to the music angels and 235,000 fans for their "money power" teaching. I suggest donating 4.7 million to the Mountain Music Classroom Project. Every fan who participates in the crowdfunding campaign will receive a free copy of the new album with their payment history. In addition, I'm personally contributing 52 million to the production costs. After all, true money power should be used for more meaningful things.

Below the text was a photo of him hugging Gu Youran from behind, with the two of them making the "5" and "2" gestures with their fingers.

Before Gu Youran could react, the phone started ringing non-stop.

She looked down and saw that the Weibo comment section was already exploding:

[Oh my god! Mr. Shi’s moves are so cool! ]

【From crowdfunding to charity, this is the power of idols! 】

[I have taken a screenshot to save the payment record, waiting for the album! ]

[52 million... This is clearly a sign of doting on his wife!]

The hot search list is refreshed instantly:

#Shi Heng backhanded a 52 million#

#Real money power#

#BeyondTheSoundsCharityAlbum#

What touched her most was that her big fan, “Music Angel,” immediately retweeted it:

[Mr. Shi is awesome! We've created a dedicated group to review donations and ensure every penny is spent wisely!]

"Are you satisfied now?" Shi Heng put away his phone and pinched her cheek.

Gu Youran's eyes were slightly hot, and she was about to speak when she saw Gu Xun's new reply:

[Mr. Shi, do you need help counting money?]

It was followed by a dog head emoticon.

Shi Heng whispered in her ear, "Now the whole internet knows that I'm a professional when it comes to pampering you and doing charity."

He rested his chin on her shoulder and scrolled to the fifth trending search:

"Last night at the Nancheng Road Cinema, when the show ended, three hundred audience members spontaneously sang 'Unfinished Gift'..."

In the video, the crowd held up their cell phone flashlights and shook them gently, like a sea of ​​stars.

The initially chaotic singing gradually merged into a moving harmony, and some people tapped the armrests of the chairs to the rhythm.

Shi Heng continued, "Look at the boy with glasses in the third row. He kept wiping away tears while singing the chorus."

The camera just happened to pass by and saw the boy singing along with red eyes, holding a postcard with the lyrics printed on it tightly in his hand.

Gu Youran felt his throat tighten.

Shi Heng placed his hand on her slightly trembling fingertips and led her to point at the words on the screen: "This film is dedicated to the memory of my adoptive parents."

"They can hear it. Now the whole country is singing your songs."

The chorus in the video behind me was reaching its climax. It was my adoptive father's favorite modulation passage when he was alive.

She tilted her head back to blink away the moisture from her eyes, and was about to speak when her cell phone suddenly rang.

"Director Cen?" Gu Youran answered the phone and pressed the hands-free button.

"You Ran! Good news!"

Director Cen's voice trembled with excitement. "I just received an email from the overseas distributor. Cinemas in twelve countries are inquiring about distribution rights! They say news of last night's premiere in China has spread all over the world."
