Chapter 70 Grand Opening

When her older brother was mentioned, Li Jinyue rolled her eyes: "No way, that guy will definitely be able to buy a ticket, and he'll be a third wheel again."

Li Jinzhao's prayer of being single for five years worked. Over the years, he has repeatedly failed in his pursuit of girls, but his luck with romance has never turned into anything worthwhile.

Recently, he seems to have resigned himself to his fate and has simply started to wholeheartedly follow the current fan club president, Qu Chen, becoming the vice president. He even has the audacity to say, "When the five-year term is up, the Dragon King will naturally return to his throne!"

He proudly boasted to Li Jinyue, "See? It's all thanks to my reliable brother that I have such discerning eyes and was able to see my hidden potential."

Li Jinyue: "That's because they are too capable. They don't need your help at all. They just use you as a mascot to liven up the atmosphere."

Speaking of Qu Chen, Li Jinyue couldn't help but express his admiration.

As she gradually took over the family business, she found it difficult to manage both aspects, so Qu Chen officially took over as the president of the fan club.

This person, who started out as a slightly inexperienced techie, quickly got the hang of overall coordination, and now manages events in an orderly manner. He even built a frighteningly efficient support system using code and automation tools, making him capable of leading an entire core team all by himself.

Moreover, I've heard that he has gradually revitalized some of his businesses in recent years, demonstrating remarkable business acumen.

Even when Li Jinyue was overwhelmed with problems after taking over the company, he still lent her a helping hand.

Judging from his usual indifference and lack of interest in everything except Ling Wei, it's true that you can know a person's face but not their heart.

...Speaking of which, can idioms be used like this?

Over the past four years, everyone has grown rapidly on their own paths and become more outstanding.

Even the original "Dream of Qinghe" project truly boosted the cultural tourism and economy of Qinghe Province, becoming a successful cultural brand.

I've heard that the national level is paying attention and intends to learn from its model to plan similar events on a larger scale.

Li Jinyue hugged the precious autographed vinyl record, squinted her eyes happily, and leaned on Zhou Xubai's shoulder.

With loved ones by my side and my beloved by my side, even the light I pursued with youthful passion still shines brightly in the sky above.

Everything is fine; it's the time of Lesser Fullness in life.

Backstage at the Bird's Nest National Stadium in Beijing.

There is one hour left until the start of the final show of the "Star Trails: Final Chapter" World Tour.

A sense of tension filled the air. Confirmations came from various posts over the walkie-talkie. Costume assistants moved swiftly, carrying mobile racks laden with clothing and accessories. The prop master was conducting a final check of the equipment.

In front of the makeup mirror, the last stray hairs were styled.

Ling Wei put down the process book in her hand, her gaze sweeping over her reflection in the mirror, now clad in her battle armor, and for a moment she felt a rare sense of disorientation.

Four years, like a dream speeding along, are finally heading towards a predetermined station.

A string that has been taut for too long can feel unreal on the eve of its ultimate release.

This subtle moment of surprise did not escape the notice of those around him.

Ye Zhen gently placed her hand on her shoulder, deeply understanding: "You've carried the most burdens in these four years."

Lu Xiaoxiao leaned closer from the other side, her warm forehead gently touching Ling Wei's temple, her soft voice filled with concern: "Captain, you always think about whether we're tired or not, but actually... you're the one who should be patted on the head and told you've worked hard."

Her sensitivity always manages to touch the most tender core.

Zhao Xiaohe squatted down in front of Ling Wei, looked up, and her eyes, which were full of vitality, were now clear and bright, reflecting the light and the person in front of her: "Captain, sometimes when I look back, I feel unbelievable. It was you who kept us running so fast and so far."

Sha Jing didn't speak. She simply reached out and gently squeezed Ling Wei's slightly cool fingers, then squeezed them back firmly.

Everything unspoken is contained in this handshake; her actions are always the most steadfast support.

Ling Wei's gaze slowly swept across their faces.

Those expressions of understanding, heartache, and complete trust dispelled the emptiness that had arisen in my heart from being tense for too long.

She took a soft breath: "I didn't get through this alone."

"It was us, we got through it together."

"We all worked hard, and we all... succeeded."

The heavy feeling that had been lingering among them suddenly dissipated.

What replaced it was the clarity and ease that came from traversing thousands of mountains and rivers together.

Let's go.

When their figures appeared at the entrance to the main stage, a deafening roar rushed towards them like a solid wall.

Ling Wei walked at the front, stepped onto the rising platform connecting to the stage, and her view suddenly opened up.

Beneath the Bird's Nest's massive circular dome, a dense crowd of 90,000 people gathered.

Years ago at the Qinghe Provincial Olympic Sports Center, they were moved to tears by that small patch of azure starry sky that belonged to them; now, looking out, the entire Bird's Nest seems to have transformed into an endless universe, immersed in that vast expanse of starry blue.

Light boards, glow sticks, and support banners converged into a sea of ​​light, undulating slowly with a unified rhythm, a spectacle that was breathtaking.

"ZOO——THYS——!!!"

"Ling Wei! Ye Zhen! Lu Xiaoxiao! Zhao Xiaohe! Sha Jing—!!!"

The name was shouted with the force torn apart the long night, the sound waves crashing against the steel structure of the Bird's Nest, producing a deep echo, and even the feet could feel a slight tremor.

The stage lights were not fully on yet; only a few dark blue beams of light swept across the venue, raising the anticipation to its peak.

A familiar electronic intro suddenly exploded at maximum volume without warning.

A single note is like a spark thrown into boiling oil.

"ah------!!!!"

The passion that 90,000 people had accumulated throughout the night, or even their entire youth, was completely ignited at this moment.

Cheers, screams, shouts, cries... the sounds converged into a boiling torrent powerful enough to lift the dome, sweeping through every corner of the venue.

In the center of the stage, five figures were clearly visible in the dazzling light.

Star trails appear here, marking the grand opening.

The story ends with a cleavage scene!

I previously said that both 1v1 and 1v2 would be included in the side stories, so please don't get the wrong idea. However, only 1v2 is an "if" scenario, while 1v1 is the normal world ending without an "if" scenario.

This is the first and last time I'll write about girl groups.

Because it was so difficult to write, the inspiration for the competition to boost the cultural tourism economy came from Su Chao, so I stubbornly started writing based on a single idea.

From the competition format to the early stages of the competition and then to the complete competition, I had no references other than watching various girl group performance videos for inspiration.

Therefore, this is the world I've written that has consumed the most of my energy, and now I can't help but want to sing a song (you see, I'm singing again):

You're asking me what kind of original content I'm creating~

After all that, it seems like that's all there is to it~

Why not take some time to think about it?

How should this article be promoted?

I'm writing this article tonight with dark circles under my eyes~

(I believe it's a very smoky makeup look)

My hand is in the center of the keyboard.

(You can imagine that kind of hand speed)

I wrote my ending / until my hair turned white~

After finishing this chapter, I'll turn off my computer and heal my wounds~

PS:

I know everyone loves the perfect male lead who unconditionally favors the female lead and falls in love at first sight, but what I want to write is a different kind of reality.

They each have their own shadows and inner conflicts; they hesitate, make mistakes, and struggle with their own humanity.

There is no such thing as innate perfection; it is only through a step-by-step journey, traversing one's own darkness, picking up the broken pieces, and finally reaching the heroine's side.

Love is not a gift at the beginning, but the completion of the end.

The female lead is the same; she also experiences infatuation and her ideals waver at times, turning her into a lecherous man. But in the end, she puts her career before love. I wanted to make the character as nuanced as possible, which might make some viewers feel disconnected.

Perhaps my writing skills aren't good enough. I've read all your suggestions and will continue to work harder. I hope you all understand. If you don't understand, you'll still have to go for Dior (where's the rope?).
