Chapter 56: Ji Jingchuan, you are the best in the world...

The speakers were tuned up, and a crowd gathered around the bonfire. Acquaintances and strangers alike held hands, forming two large circles, dancing joyfully to the music.

The cameras were set up at the outermost edge, and the expensive equipment clearly recorded the figures and music, and occasionally a few familiar conversations could be heard.

"Jiang Yize, you stepped on my foot!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"What's the use of just saying sorry? Take your foot away! It's on you again!"

"Lu Zhixu, can you take smaller steps? I can't keep up."

"……good."

"Ji Jingchuan——"

"What? I'm a natural dancer!"

[Hahahaha why does Ji Jingchuan's style change when he sees you?]

Ji Jingchuan: What's the matter? Why am I being criticized even though I dance so well?

[I heard clearly that Shang Que seemed to want to remind him that his shoelaces were undone.]

No wonder he stumbled forward. I thought it was some elaborate choreography.

The bonfire crackled, its dancing light illuminating everyone's face. Amidst the resounding music and the tranquil evening breeze of the ancient town, the bustle of the place made everyone forget their worries for a moment, and at this moment, they experienced the purest freedom.

This grand and noisy event lasted for nearly half an hour before the intermission came. The music stopped and everyone dispersed. Those who couldn't bear it left early and went home, while those who couldn't get away excitedly chatted with their companions.

Backpackers passing by built a simple stage next to the campfire, playing and singing folk songs with guitars, and Ji Jingchuan hummed a few lines from time to time.

Shang Que was a little surprised: "You can also sing folk songs?"

"Of course," Ji Jingchuan said proudly, "This genius can do anything."

Shang Que turned to see him squatting on the flower bed, playing with a puppy. His curly hair had lost its curl after a day of filming, now draped across his forehead in tangles. There was no crowd blocking the view, and the bonfire shone directly in front of him, casting a flickering outline around him.

"Sister, there's a puppy."

A childish voice nearby caught the attention of Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan, and they both looked in the direction of the sound. Not far away, sitting by another flower bed, was a young brother and sister.

The little boy swung his short legs and asked, "Sister, what if I turned into a puppy?"

The girl next to him looked three or four years older than him, with her hair in beautiful colorful braids. After hearing this question, she said without hesitation: "Then I will build you a little nest, put your favorite bunny doll in it, and then I will give you ribs and vegetables to eat every day at mealtime."

The little boy pursed his lips and said: "Puppies don't eat greens.

vegetable. "

"But you are my younger brother. You need to eat more vegetables to grow taller."

"Oh well."

The two jumped off the flower bed and walked away hand in hand. Shang Que was overwhelmed by their cuteness and was about to look away when Ji Jingchuan suddenly turned his head and stared at her with bright eyes.

"Shang Que——"

Shang Que guessed what he was going to ask almost instantly. She took a second to recall the little girl's standard answer just now, and she quickly made a draft in her mind.

"What would you do if I turned into a cockroach?"

Shang Que said without hesitation: "Stomp him to death."

“…”

“…”

The two of them looked at each other in bewilderment. After a few seconds, Ji Jingchuan exploded: "Shang Que, how could you do this? If I turn into a cockroach, does that mean I'm no longer your brother?"

"..." Shang Que looked very embarrassed, "Can you change it?"

"No!" Ji Jingchuan angrily accused: "Shang Que, you're going too far. Even if you turned into a cockroach, I would build you a nest and take good care of you."

"Thank you for your kindness, but no thanks."

The wandering band on the stage finished singing a song. Jiang Yize spoke up at this time and saved Shang Que from the dire situation. He waved and called from a distance: "Ji Jingchuan, do you want to go up and sing?"

Lin Jinyi echoed: "That's right, big star, sing a song."

The crowd cheered enthusiastically, "Big star, come on, sing a song! Big star, come on, sing a song!"

Unable to refuse such a generous invitation, Ji Jingchuan jumped down from the flower bed, put on his sunglasses, and pushed his hair back, revealing his flawless face. He walked onto the stage amidst cheers, took the microphone, and raised his hand and pressed it down in a formal manner, saying, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic about inviting me, this genius will not refuse."

The drummer and bassist of the wandering band were still on the stage. Ji Jingchuan took away the microphone and said a few words to them, then snapped his fingers and the passionate and enthusiastic accompaniment sounded.

“Welcome to my stage.”

[Hahahaha why does Ji Jingchuan sound like he's having a concert when he sings on the street?]

[This is the dominance of the number one idol in the domestic entertainment industry! ]

[Aa ...

[He even sang "Nessun Dorma," a song I last heard at the opening of his solo concert!]

Ji Jingchuan sang one of his own singles, which had a high tempo and was very popular, making it a perfect opening. Most of the people who stayed were young people, and most of them swayed along while singing along, quickly heating up the atmosphere.

“It’s great to be young.”

Shang Que looked towards the source of the sound. Two elderly grandmothers were standing outside the crowd, looking at Ji Jingchuan with loving eyes.

"Children nowadays are so handsome and full of energy. Look how generous they are."

Shang Que couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile and turned to look at Ji Jingchuan. The dancing flames in the distance reflected in his eyes. Even without spotlights, professional equipment, or a gorgeous stage, he still shone brightly at this moment with the microphone in his hand.

It's unclear who started it, but everyone started throwing colorful flowers onto the stage. According to local custom, flowers wrapped with tie-dyed ribbons symbolize blessings and welcome, and at bonfire parties, flowers are given to whoever you like.

The simple stage was nearly covered in colorful flowers when one fell from a height, landing squarely on Ji Jingchuan's shoulder. Amidst countless cheers and applause, Shang Que met his gaze across the crowd.

She thought to herself, Ji Jingchuan, you will never turn into a cockroach, you are a born shining star.

After the bonfire party ended, Ji Jingchuan finally squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of Shang Que. He straightened his slightly messy hair and grinned: "How about Shang Que, is my typhoon stable?"

[Steady! Super steady! I can only say he's worthy of being a top star, truly living up to his reputation. This microphone leaks sound even when other people are talking, yet he can actually sing this song so perfectly.]

Ji Jingchuan is completely different on stage than he usually is. He's got so much energy! It's no wonder he's known as the most handsome man in Chinese entertainment. And his voice almost made me scream late at night.

[I'm completely hooked! You Trump supporters actually eat so well.]

[Of course, we are just doting, not blind.]

Every time we see the rival fans asking us to eat something delicious, I want to laugh. Besides not being as good at flattering fans as others, where else in the domestic entertainment industry can you find an idol who is more handsome and talented than Ji Jingchuan?

Before Shang Que could speak, the others rushed over. Jiang Yize put his arm around his shoulders and praised him without reservation, "It's so beautiful! This is the best live performance I've ever heard in my life!"

Lu Zhixu: "As expected of a big star, he can sing like a live concert even on such a simple stage. I feel like I'm completely there."

Ning Sheng winked playfully: "Then you've made a killing. You know, tickets for Ji Jingchuan's solo concert are so hard to get."

Ji Jingchuan raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I have said long ago that this genius can shine even if he wears a sack."

"By the way, did you hear your fans shouting their support slogans? Lin Jinyi and I shouted too."

Lin Jinyi glared at Jiang Yize and defended herself, "That's because it rhymes so well, and they kept shouting it in my ears, almost brainwashing me."

She curled her lips and had to admit, "But she did sing quite happily."

【Hahahaha, Missy is almost jumping up and down with them.】

[Yes, our Ji Jingchuan's ability to control the situation is so strong! ]

The most popular person at the bonfire party was undoubtedly Ji Jingchuan. After returning to the B&B, the director revealed a mysterious gift: "Congratulations to Ji Jingchuan for winning a one-day trip to the Wulinati Grassland. You can go there by RV and stay in the top starry sky suite."

Lin Jinyi was a little surprised: "No pit? When did you become so generous?"

"Of course not. I've always been generous."

Several people uttered a disgusted "tsk~"

Ning Sheng realized: "Is he going alone?"

"The guest who receives the mysterious gift can choose whether to go alone or bring everyone along, but—" the director said with a look that said, "Finally, someone asked this question," "because the program team is short on funds, if everyone goes, they'll have to take the green train."

[Wow, Director, you really know how to stir up trouble.]

【It takes five hours to get from Ulinati to here by train, right?】

【It depends on what Ji Jingchuan chooses. 】

Everyone looked at Ji Jingchuan eagerly. He frowned and pretended to hesitate: "You probably don't want to take the green train, right?"

"I do!" Jiang Yize raised his hand. "When I was in college, I often took the train and went on budget trips with my roommates."

Lin Jinyi: "Although I've never ridden on one, it's quite interesting to try it."

Lu Zhixu: "My university is far from home, so I basically take the train to go back during the winter and summer vacations."

Ning Sheng: "Me too. Thinking about it now, I still miss it."

The director added: "By the way, because it is the peak tourist season recently, there are not enough rooms, so if everyone goes, we can only set up tents on the grassland at night."

"Isn't that just like when we camped in the wild before? We weren't familiar with each other back then, so it would be great to experience it again now." Lin Jinyi blurted out.

Ji Jingchuan pursed his lips and his expression became a little unhappy.

Shang Que coughed lightly and reminded, "If I remember correctly, someone's tent seemed to have collapsed that night."

[Hahahaha, flattery really hits people in the lungs.]

Ji Jingchuan: Don't mention it! That's not how I got here; that's my dark history.

"It's okay, I'll help you this time!" Jiang Yize volunteered: "I promise it will be a safe and secure ride for you."

Ji Jingchuan thought about it and said reluctantly, "How about this, each of you praise me once, and if I'm satisfied, I'll take you with me."

Jiang Yizhe was the first to say, "Ji Jingchuan, you are handsome, powerful, extremely popular, and a world-class superstar."

"You've already said all the lyrics, what am I supposed to say?" Lin Jinyi complained softly, her mind racing as she said awkwardly, "You're the most versatile idol I've ever met. You're definitely going to be even more popular in the future."

Ning Sheng then praised: "Your lyrics are very meaningful and the music is super nice."

Lu Zhixu thought about it carefully before saying, "He's a very energetic and enthusiastic person. His personality is very different from what people say. He's a friend worth getting along with."

[Oh my god, what a high evaluation.]

There aren't many people Lu Zhixu can call his friends, and he seems very sincere, not like he's lying for show effect.

After watching so many episodes of variety shows, I've discovered that Ji Jingchuan's personality isn't that annoying. He's just a bit blunt and direct, and not at all as arrogant and rude as the marketing accounts make him out to be.

In fact, compared to listening to marketing accounts, the opinions of people like Lu Zhixu who often interact with Ji Jingchuan are more credible.

[Yes, I've already changed from hater to passerby and then to fan. Oh my god, why did I think Ji Jingchuan was hateful before? He's obviously super cute! ]

【From this moment on, our identity became clear.】

"It's just barely passable." Ji Jingchuan said "tsk", his expression was so arrogant that he asked for a beating.

The last one was Shang Que. She blinked and said, "Ji Jingchuan——"

"Okay, I'm satisfied."

[She hasn't said anything yet, and you're already satisfied.]

Ji Jingchuan: What do you know? She called me by my name, so she must be praising me.

[Just calling out a name will get you a black bass? ]

[You're so reluctant to give compliments to others, yet you're so satisfied when Shang Que calls you. How can you be so rude to others?]

[Hahahaha, has Ji Jingchuan become the epitome of double standards now? ]

Shang Que smiled helplessly and said, "Let me finish. I have something to praise you for."

Ji Jingchuan's ears perked up, he pursed his lips, and gave him a little excited look: "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say," Shang Que looked at him seriously, "Ji Jingchuan, you are the best brother in the world."
