Chapter 169 Unrequited Love

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's time for the premiere of the new season of "Singers Whose Main Careers Are Delayed".

Compared to previous episodes, this episode saw an exceptionally high level of popularity and viewership. Of course, it wasn't just the popularity and viewership that surged, but also the emotions of countless viewers, both in person and watching on screen.

Just kidding, the production team released the news early on, saying that this episode would be full of highlights, featuring not only ordinary people and newcomers to the entertainment industry, but also the recently popular "Sweet Jia-Shen" couple.

Gu Yishen and Luo Jia actually appeared in this episode at the same time.

My goodness, what a beautiful thing this is! They love it! They absolutely love it!!

As we all know, although Gu Yishen has not made a name for himself in the music industry, his high looks, talent, and solid acting skills have led to his Weibo followers increasing year by year and his popularity growing steadily. In the end, he lived up to expectations and won the Best Actor award.

Therefore, the audience is too familiar with Gu Yishen, and they feel that even if Gu Yishen can't sing, they won't be too surprised.

Instead, what everyone is more looking forward to is actually Luo Jia's side.

A star who suddenly becomes famous in a short period of time, starting from an unknown nobody and debuting in an unknown, declining company, and rising to prominence in the entertainment industry through his own abilities.

This year is even more exaggerated. Several negative news stories about Lo Jia have emerged, but instead of causing the public to "put Lo Jia in the cold palace," they have elevated his position to an astonishing height.

Therefore, there are quite a few passersby who didn't pay much attention to Luo Jia before, but have learned about Luo Jia through these recent events and have developed a strong interest in him.

Some are waiting to see Luo Jia's performance, while others are waiting to see if they can get to ship the "Jia-Shen CP". So tonight's episode of "The Singer Whose Main Job Was Delayed" is definitely the most popular and exciting episode yet.

Take the venue as an example. The audience arrived very early, and there is still about an hour and a half before the show starts. The venue is already almost full.

The production team of "The Singer Whose Main Job Was Delayed" couldn't stop smiling from behind.

If they had known that Gu Yishen and Luo Jia's popularity and influence were so terrifying, they would have invited them over much earlier.

It's a pity that their show has a high turnover rate of guests, with no permanent guests at all. Otherwise, if they could really bring these two people over, their show's ratings would definitely be firmly in the top three in China.

...

Gu Yishen did not see Luo Jiayin in the waiting area, and Luo Jiayin did not see anyone else in the backstage dressing room besides her.

It seems that this show, like "Hold On to the Villain's Script," is a rather extravagant program, with each guest having their own private dressing room.

Soon, Gu Yishen, as the "number one contestant," was naturally the first to take the stage.

Gu Yishen's image has always been that of aloof and reserved. Today, his outfit was not flashy at all; he simply wore a black casual suit with a clean white shirt underneath.

He walked straight to the front of the stage under the spotlight, stood in the center of the stage, gave the audience a faint smile, and then turned to the band members on the other side, nodding slightly to the musicians to indicate that he was ready.

Then all the lights on stage went out, and a few seconds later, only a dim yellow light shone on the tall figure on the stage.

Immediately afterwards, the music of a classical cello began, and several more lights came on, gradually revealing the face of the figure on the stage.

Gu Yishen has exquisite and handsome features, gentle eyes and a slightly upturned mouth, making him look just like a noble and elegant prince in a comic book.

The audience screamed, and some bold female audience members even called out Gu Yishen's full name, looking like complete fangirls.

"So handsome!"

Luo Jiayin sat in the lounge, gazing at Gu Yishen on the big screen with a smile in her eyes, her heart pounding wildly.

It’s over…

This... it's really hard not to be tempted, okay...

The song sung by Gu Yishen is a relatively niche song. It is "Secret Love" by Malaysian East Asian singer Zhang Zhicheng. After being rearranged, it has a unique flavor.

The song has a beautiful melody and simple lyrics, but through Gu Yishen's singing, it seems to contain extremely profound meaning.

"We stand on either side of the floor-to-ceiling window / Even if we touch, there is a boundary / If we cross that boundary between us / Will we get closer or further apart?"

"I believe we'll reach another boundary / Shoulder to shoulder, we'll sing 'Long Live Friendship' / If 'I love you' were to become language / What would be more / What would be less..."

Gu Yishen's voice is inherently magnetic, with a touch of clear, deep tone.

Although he didn't have any particularly professional skills, Gu Yishen never sang off-key.

Whether it was due to nervousness or excessive composure, Gu Yishen simply stood there, holding the microphone and singing to himself, without making any unnecessary movements or performances.

Therefore, when he sings, he gives people a particularly peaceful and tranquil feeling, and through Gu Yishen's heartfelt performance, many people's hearts are also gripped with a heavy feeling.

Whether at the scene or in front of a computer or television, many people actually gleaned something different from Gu Yishen's lyrics.

Soon the song ended, and everyone gradually realized what it meant.

The song is called "Unrequited Love," and combined with the ambiguous lyrics, Gu Yishen's identity, and the recent hot topics surrounding him...

Is Gu Yingdi using the lyrics to "confess" his feelings to Luo Jia?

But isn't it said online that the two of them have already officially announced their relationship on Weibo? Doesn't that mean they're already together? If they're already together, why would they need to confess their feelings?

Even if Gu Yingdi wanted to express his feelings through song, he would probably choose something like "Moonlight Represents My Heart," "Mice Love Millet," or "Confession Helium Balloon."

Is this song, "Secret Love," somewhat out of place?

The audience was clueless, but Luo Jiayin, who was watching the performance from the dressing room, knew exactly what was going on.

Is Gu Yishen having a little tantrum?

I've been wondering if I haven't contacted him lately because he's changed his mind or is just being difficult.
