He Xizhou's voice was smiling, and although he used a question, the tone between the lines was affirmative.

"I didn't." Ye Ying panicked for a moment when she was first caught, but she quickly calmed down and asked calmly, "Am I jealous?"

"Who knows you're jealous?" He Xizhou waved his phone slowly, "Anyway, I wasn't the one who searched 'Have He Xizhou and Tina ever been together'."

"I jumped here by myself." Ye Ying.

"But you were the one who entered those two names." He Xizhou replied quickly.

Ye Ying: “…”

Ye Ying could only take a step back and said, "I just want to read your gossip. I don't mean anything else."

The second half of the sentence was spoken in a low voice, as if the speaker knew that he lacked confidence.

"You can just ask me directly." He Xizhou suddenly straightened his attitude and began to explain seriously, "Tina did pursue me, but I rejected her very clearly at that time. I went to dinner with her because she was going back to the United States after the competition, and I went to her funeral. She brought roses with her that time, but I didn't take them away and let her take them back herself."

"There's really nothing going on between her and me."

After hearing this, Ye Ying seemed to be at a loss for words. She paused for a few seconds before stammering "Oh".

"Neither I nor anyone else will." He Xizhou stared into the boy's eyes, and every word was clear. "I already have someone in my heart. All my thoughts are on that person. I don't bother to think about anyone else except him."

Ye Ying's breathing became completely disordered. He suddenly lowered his eyes and stared at the floor beneath his feet.

This was the first time He Xizhou had said something so plain—almost completely breaking through the thin layer of cellophane. The air suddenly became thin and sticky, making it difficult to breathe. Ye Ying's ears rang with a familiar "bang bang" sound, as if she could clearly feel the blood flowing rapidly in her blood vessels.

He Xizhou said softly: "You know, don't you?"

The air suddenly froze for a moment, as if a silent thunder exploded in his mind. Ye Ying's eyelashes trembled violently, and he quickly raised his eyes to look at him, and then instinctively took a step back. But He Xizhou didn't want him to retreat. He had expected it and suddenly reached out to grab his arm, pulling him towards him.

Ye Ying was caught off guard and bumped into his chest. Her ears and cheeks were burning. He Xizhou's Adam's apple rolled and he said, "I..."

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door. It sounded like Li Jingfei and Yue Chen were coming to the third floor. Ye Ying suddenly came to her senses and tried to pull back her arm but couldn't. She hurriedly whispered, "He Xizhou!"

He Xizhou stared at him closely, as if considering whether to let go.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Ye Yingdi's voice was faintly pleading. He Xizhou narrowed his eyes and finally let him go slowly.

Li Jingfei and Yuechen walked to the door but did not come in. From the sound of their footsteps, they were heading to the study room at the end of the third floor to discuss something. Ye Ying breathed a sigh of relief and heard He Xizhou suddenly snort and laugh, as if laughing at his panic and timidity just now.

Ye Ying couldn't hold back her expression, she pursed her lips and then chased the guest away: "Go away, I want to sleep."

He Xizhou deliberately did not move: "No one came in yet, why are you still afraid?"

Ye Ying refused to admit: "...How could I be afraid?"

He Xizhou: "Oh, then I won't leave."

Ye Ying was so angry that she stretched out her hand and pushed him out. He Xizhou saw that he had really pissed her off, so he smiled and let himself be pushed out. Before the door was completely closed, he whispered:

"I'll let you go today."

The door closed. Ye Ying stood there blankly for a while, then suddenly kicked the door in anger.

I don't know if it's the shameless guy outside the valve, or myself inside the valve who can get confused by just one word and become more and more restless.

Aurora's first concert is finally coming.

Two months ago, 30,000 tickets were released for pre-sale, and they were all sold out within seconds of going online. The speed was so fast that it was jaw-dropping; 70,000 tickets were released when the tickets were officially sold, and they were also sold out within just a few minutes. Even so, there were still a large number of fans crying online that they missed out on getting a ticket because they were just a few seconds late.

At 8:00 pm on August 6, the Yinhui Sports Center in City B was already packed with people. 100,000 spectators held up color-changing aurora-colored light signs and loudly counted down along with the live electronic music:

"Five, four, three, two—"

"one!"

Amid the audience's explosive cheers, six young men descended from the sky standing on a high suspended device. They were wearing the same style of silver-blue clothing, and they were like bright stars in the night sky, landing in front of all the fans with smiles on their faces.

The screams were like a raging fire, and the familiar prelude that was engraved in the mind sounded. It was the title song of the first album, "Aurora", which every Aurora fan would sing.

"The distant time and space, the vast universe

The secret of crossing billions of light years, meeting you——"

As the boys began to sing, tens of thousands of fans couldn't help but sing along. The cheering light boards in their hands swayed slowly with the music, connecting dots into lines to form a sea of ​​light, creating a unique romantic aurora in the world.

"You are the colorful aurora

Break through the darkness and illuminate me

With the light of shooting stars

Guiding the way in the dark night..."

The boys have carefully styled their hair tonight. Xu Qiongzhi dyed her hair blonde, looking so beautiful that she seemed like an elf from another world who had strayed into the human world; Yuechen wore silver contact lenses, and his eyes made him look like the enchanting moon goddess; Qiushuang dyed her hair red, and her bright smile almost set the air on fire; He Xizhou and Li Jingfei dyed their hair red and blue respectively, and every expression and movement could easily make tens of thousands of people scream and go crazy.

In comparison, Ye Ying's style is simple, without cosmetic contact lenses and dyed hair. He retains his original pure look, like a black and white landscape painting, which has been deeply engraved in everyone's heart without any fancy colors.

"Ye Ying! Ye Ying!!!"

"Aurora I love you!!"

"Aurora I love you!!!"

The boys' exquisite and perfect faces were broadcast live on several ultra-clear giant screens at the scene. Tens of thousands of people shouted their names desperately, and sang along with them in tears at the climax of the melody:

"You are the shining aurora

Dispel fear and melt sadness

Tenderness is by my side

It is my lifelong belief——"

They are not only singing, but also shouting their own voices with all their strength:

You are the light!

It is my lifelong belief!!

The song ended with the audience cheering. The six boys lined up and bowed to the audience. They smiled and raised their microphones:

"Everyone, we are Aurora!"

After the roaring and shouting from the audience subsided, Ye Ying smiled and said, "Thank you so much for having so many fans come to our premiere. To be honest, I was very nervous before the concert. This was my first time standing on this big stage that belonged to us. But I wasn't afraid the moment I walked in, when I saw the lights on the stage turning into a sea."

"You are here for us," he said, "and we will sing for you tonight."

The screams were almost crazy, the ocean of light surged magnificently, a new accompaniment sounded, the teenagers ran briskly to the edge of the stage, and began to sing "Rose Planet" with smiles.

Song after song, there were hot dances that blew up the whole audience, and there were love songs that made the air sweet. In addition to group performances, there were also individual solos. He Xizhou's freestyle made the scene explode. The second album "Feng Yue" co-produced by Li Jingfei and Yue Chen was as effective as "Feng Qing" during the Dream Camp period, and the children almost shouted their throats off; Qiu Shuang and Xu Qiongzhi performed a male duet cha-cha, and the audience laughed so hard that they even cried; and when Ye Ying wore a silver-red embroidered modified ancient costume, and Jiao Ranhong sang "Hua Li" in an operatic voice, the whole audience was so amazed and crazy that they were almost out of control.

The concert lasted nearly two hours. The fans were extremely enthusiastic and all members of Aurora maintained perfect condition from beginning to end. Even when they were singing the last song, they still tried their best to control their breathing and each dance move was stretched to the maximum.

Their makeup was smudged, and a mixture of sweat and glitter flowed down their cheeks and necks, but the smiles on their faces were warm and as bright as the galaxy at night.

The first concert ended successfully, but the stars remained hanging in the night sky, shining with everlasting light.

＿＿

Aurora's first concert unsurprisingly dominated the day's hot search list, and fans, both those who were present at the concert and those who watched the live broadcast, spoke highly of the premiere.

[Aurora is truly a group of gods! ! I don’t believe anyone dares to refute my statement that this is the ceiling for domestic entertainment groups! ! ]

[The concert lasted two hours and was mic-controlled, and he sang very steadily until the last song! ! So cool! ! ]

[Aurora Group was already very good when they first debuted, but a year later they are even better than they were a year ago!! Everyone is working hard to improve! I will die as a fan of their career without any regrets!!]

[I can lick Ye Ying's red ancient costume for a year. This person is really amazing!!! Sooner or later, I will be fascinated by him!!]

[Confession to everyone, Aurora, Aurora, brothers, go ahead!!!]

The concert was a great success, and Uncle Mai took everyone to the hotel for a celebration party that night. More than a dozen important roles in the company team came, and even the big boss Shi Fenghua came specially to have a few drinks with the teenagers and take care of business.

Ye Ying didn't dare to drink anymore. She sat at the table drinking juice and eating food. During this time, her cell phone rang. When she looked at the caller ID, it was He Pingqiu.

He was very surprised, and quickly took his phone and found a quiet place in the noisy room to answer the call: "Uncle He?"

He Pingqiu's gentle and smiling voice came from the phone: "Congratulations on the great success of your concert."

Ye Ying didn't expect that the other party would specially send blessings, and hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle!"

"At the celebration party now, right?"

"Yes. Many people from our company are coming." Ye Ying, "Xizhou is in the room. Should I ask him to answer the phone?"

After asking, he felt it was unnecessary. After all, He Pingqiu could just call and congratulate him directly without going through him.

He Pingqiu smiled and said, "I called to congratulate you, but I also wanted to talk to you about something else - do you still remember the movie we watched during the Chinese New Year last year?"

Ye Ying certainly remembered: "The one you recommended me to audition for?"

"Yes." He Pingqiu, "Before, you were preparing for the concert, I didn't mean to bother you. In fact, the call today was a bit urgent, but my old friend was pushing too hard - he was looking for actors recently, and he couldn't find a suitable actor for one of the most important roles, and he was not satisfied with the actors he chose. After I recommended you to him, he kept urging me to let you audition, and my ears were almost callused. If you are free recently, why not take a day to try?"

Mr. He sent such a huge pie, but his tone was so polite that Ye Ying felt embarrassed: "I am free, any day is fine - but I really have no acting experience at all, I am afraid that you and Director Zhao Yi will be disappointed."

"It's okay, don't feel pressured, just treat it as trying something new." He Pingqiu smiled and comforted him, "I'll send you the script and audition clip later, and I'll let you know the audition location in five days."

Ye Ying agreed immediately: "."

It was almost twelve o'clock when the celebration banquet ended. The other teammates were a little drunk, even Uncle Mai was slurring his words, and he and Xu Qiongzhi even held a bottle of wine and started singing "My Motherland and I". In the end, several staff members coaxed and persuaded them to stop, and helped Ye Ying send everyone back to Chunshan Xinbi. After watching them lie down on the bed and sleep honestly, they said goodbye to Ye Ying.

After a busy and stressful day, Ye Ying was exhausted, but perhaps because she was too excited, she didn't feel sleepy at all, so she simply lay on the bed and watched the movie script that He Pingqiu sent her in the evening.

This is the masterpiece of the famous director Zhao Yi, a series of criminal investigation and crime films "Dark Fire", set in Hong Kong. It tells the story of the protagonist Fang Ye who graduated from the Police Academy and was admitted to the police station to become a young criminal policeman, and engaged in fierce battles with various dangerous criminals.

So far, two parts of "Dark Fire" have been released. The first part "Dark Fire" tells the story of the rookie Fang Ye who cracked a high-IQ serial robbery with complicated inside stories. In the second part "Dark Fire 2: Fangs of the Abyss", Fang Ye has quickly grown into a backbone criminal policeman and engaged in a life-and-death battle with drug dealers in the Golden Triangle.

Both films scored above 9.0 on major platforms, with the first film grossing 2.8 billion yuan and the second 3.2 billion yuan. Both the reputation and box office have increased instead of decreased, leaving a strong mark in the history of mainland films. Han Cheng, who played the male lead Fang Ye, also won two Best Actor awards, becoming a powerful actor recognized by the public.

The movie that He Pingqiu recommended him to audition for was the third film in the series:

"Dark Fire 3: Forbidden Rose".
