"The concert was amazing!!"

"I will always love Wings' concerts!"

The "Wings" tour lasted for two whole months. During the first and second shows, the group was still a little unaccustomed to it, but as the number of shows increased, their performances became more and more skillful, and the awkwardness completely disappeared.

Despite this, the group always took every concert seriously, not wanting to disappoint their fans, and each concert featured new songs.

"come on!"

But as each game went on, fatigue did accumulate little by little. However, what they were really thinking about wasn't the exhaustion itself, but rather—

"To be honest, I never imagined I could hold a concert for 10,000 people before I debuted."

"Nobody dares to think about it, okay?"

"I never even dared to dream of having just one album back then, and now I've actually released four albums."

"Me too, hahaha. During that time, I kept the cabinets very tidy, just in case we disbanded one day and I could just grab my suitcase and leave."

"At the time, I just thought that finding a new place would be a lot of trouble, and I didn't want to do it."

Concerts...especially tours, were just a distant dream for them at the time.

"But we still managed to do it. When I think about it carefully, I feel pretty awesome." Fang Yu slumped comfortably on the sofa. "I need to rest a bit, we still have rehearsals later."

Since their first concert in City A, Wings' concerts this year have been sold out every night, with tickets almost always going on sale immediately. In the current entertainment market, Wings and Blue's tickets are the best-selling. This year, their albums "Fearless" and "Mountains and Seas" both broke digital music sales records. First, "Mountains and Seas" broke the record, and after the release of "Fearless," the sales figures created by "Mountains and Seas" were broken once again.

The relationship between the two groups is also widely recognized in the music industry.

Previously, few fans compared "Wings" and "Blue," but gradually, the media and fans began to compare the two albums, "Mountains and Seas" and "Fearless," and to compare the tour data of "Wings" and "Blue." This comparison seemed to put the two groups in opposition. Ji Yan didn't really like it, but he knew very well that in the music industry, this was a sign that they were popular enough.

In the early days of the music scene, almost every album by the kings and queens of pop was compared. Sales were a measure of status, and those who were repeatedly compared by the media were inevitably singers of the same status. The benchmarks for kings and queens of pop were very high, and even if some singers were popular enough, it was difficult for them to obtain the title of king or queen of pop.

"Blue" has been a long-standing favorite in the music scene, while "Wings" is a rising star that has only emerged in recent years. Even though "Wings" is still not as good as "Blue" in terms of various data, at least for the music scene as a whole, they represent the rise of a new generation of singers and give musicians hope.

Wings didn't have high ambitions for this tour, but the fans' response far exceeded their expectations. Tickets for stadiums with 40,000 and 30,000 seats sold very well, and even in third-tier cities, the fans' enthusiasm was more intense than they had imagined.

They have no intention of surpassing "Blue". At most, they just hope to get closer to "Blue". Even if they become friends with the members of "Blue", they still know the gap between themselves and the other party. In terms of focus, they are far from being able to compare with "Blue".

But they kept trying to get closer to each other.

During the tour, "Wings" performed two songs from "Blue": "Earth Destruction" and "Silent Moment." The latter, which Ji Yan had performed on the stage of "The Voice of China," was a very energetic song and a somewhat dull one. However, the group was very willing to try different styles of songs from "Blue."

As expected, "Blue" sang "Iron-Eating Beast" and "Red Panda Song" one after the other, creating a dream collaboration between the big and small pandas, which greatly satisfied the fans.

"Cute! Someday I want to hear both of my favorite characters sing together."

"So cute!! I love Colors' new song!!"

As temperatures dropped, "Wings" continued their concerts even during the coldest period, but they held them in southern cities. While temperatures in the north had already fallen below zero, the average temperature in these cities remained above 10 degrees Celsius.

Before the concert, Ji Yan and his team did not know that they had so many fans in every city. But as they performed in each city, they found that countless fans were silently supporting them.

The light boards and glow sticks illuminated the night sky above the stadium, and Ji Yan and the others could hear them.

The last concert before the New Year was held in T City, in a stadium that can hold nearly 40,000 people. At the end, when "Wings" sang the song "Fly", tens of thousands of fans sang along with them. The stadium in T City is very close to the audience seats, and the performers could clearly see the expressions on the fans' faces.

At first, the fans were only excited, but as each song ended and the moment of parting came, the tears in their eyes were also seen.

In that instant, though no one said it, they truly found the meaning of their efforts.

They genuinely love their fans.

After the concert, the members of "Wings" all left messages on Weibo.

Xie Mingxuan wrote: "Thank you for liking us."

Lu Wei's message was: "Thank you for coming to my concert, which I must perform at least once in my life."

Fang Yu added a slightly more sentimental line: "You are the wings of the Wings Group."

Ji Yan wrote, "It's so good to be loved."

The four of them hadn't posted on Weibo for a long time, and as soon as these few posts were published, the number of likes and comments from fans immediately soared. The fans were also a little excited, but they felt that the reason they were willing to support "Wings" and attend their concerts was simply because "Wings" were good enough.

Whether it's the group's four albums or the stage performances after the start of this year's tour—they have never let their fans down for even a second.

When releasing an album, they do their best to write the best songs; when holding a concert, they do their best to do it all.

Fans don't actually expect Tsubasa to say things like "I love you" to them. Having followed Tsubasa for so long, since "Idol Generation," the members have always been people who don't make empty promises. They are always action-oriented, and they will do their best to fulfill whatever they say.

That's enough.

Fans can clearly see what they did.

...

The tour will still start after the New Year. Because the previous shows have been very popular, the concert organizers hope that "Wings" can add a few more shows. DW Entertainment has the same idea.

The group didn't mind adding more shows, but not because they were considering the organizers' wishes, but rather to respond to the fans' expectations.

The "Wings" tour didn't cover all the cities, but even in the cities that it did, fans still asked them to hold another show.

They felt that with the Spring Festival as a buffer period, as long as there was enough rest time, adding more sessions was not impossible.

"Finally, I can rest for a few days."

"So tired."

For the group, the tour experience was really tiring. With more and more shows, the fatigue almost multiplied. They had to consider making the stage perfect while also keeping the fans interested – because some fans actually went to several shows in a row.

The same goes for the dance. Originally, "Wings" had planned several songs, but in practice, they found that it was not enough. They had to learn them on the spot, which also took a toll on their voices. When they were doing the sixth show, Lu Wei caught a cold. He couldn't make a sound for two days and felt dizzy and weak. Afraid of infecting others, Lu Wei locked himself in the next room and didn't come out. But even so, when the concert came on the weekend, he still sang "Flying Apsaras" in one go. During the break backstage, Ji Yan and the others could hear Lu Wei's heavy breathing.

Later, Fang Yu and Xie Mingxuan had allergic reactions and developed rashes during one concert, and there was another time when the equipment malfunctioned during adjustments and hit Ji Yan's arm. Fortunately, the problems were not serious, but such situations during a concert can make people nervous.

It was all a first for them, but thankfully they made it through.

"You all went home for the Spring Festival as usual, right?" Fang Yu asked. "Teacher Ji, are you going to Teacher Ning's house this year?"

“I’m not sure if I’m not going.” Ji Yan thought for a moment. “It depends on whether he invites me or not.”

—Actually, Ning Wei had already invited him, but Ji Yan was still hesitant. He felt it was a bit early, and also… he was worried about Ning Wei’s family’s attitude.

Ji Yan was somewhat afraid.

He was very open with his older brother Ji Yan because Ji Qing spoiled him, and because of their past experiences with the Ji family, they almost couldn't be brothers anymore.

Ji Qing and he both cherish each other, and Ji Qing will not interfere with each other's choices.

Ji Yan thought this year's Spring Festival would be no different from previous years. He would go home and play with his little nephew as soon as the time came. But as soon as "Yi" and the others returned to City A, Ji Yan was greeted by a visitor.

Several years have passed, and Uncle Zhou looks older, but he still stands tall and straight, clearly a responsible housekeeper.

As Ji Yan expected, Uncle Zhou came as a mediator. He hoped that Ji Yan could return to the Ji family for the Spring Festival this year. It wasn't because Ji Wei wanted to deepen his relationship with his brothers, but because Ji Wei planned to get married during the Spring Festival and he wanted his future wife to meet his brothers.

Ji Yan was naturally among the younger brothers.

“I need to ask my brother first.” Ji Yan smiled at Uncle Zhou. “If we really want to go, we should at least tell him.”

Ji Qing agreed as expected.

Ji Yan had already guessed it. Ji Qing's personality had always been like this. He didn't want Ji Yan and the Ji Wei brothers to have too much of a falling out, after all, they were truly blood-related brothers.

Ji Yan might get impatient if others said that, but he would listen to Ji Qing.

He would also think from his perspective. He wasn't Ji Qing's biological brother yet, but Ji Qing treated him no differently than a biological brother. Ji Qing cherished family ties very much. If Ji Ruan hadn't hurt Ji Qing's feelings back then, Ji Qing would definitely have been a responsible older brother.

Ji Yan thought about it seriously. The family ties he once cared about were easily obtained by Ji Ruan, while Ji Qing, such a good brother, was not appreciated at all.

Seeing that Ji Yan was still deep in thought, Uncle Zhou couldn't help but speak up: "Young Master Ji Yan, this is Young Master Ji Wei's once-in-a-lifetime wedding. Please attend. The wedding will not be held at the old house, and you don't need to stay there for too long."

Ji Yan waved his hand: "Uncle Zhou, I'll go if I want to, but I think it's hard to say whether this wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Maybe there will be a second or third time?"

Uncle Zhou was silent for a moment: "I'm glad you're willing to go."

Ji Yan didn't mind going, after all, he and Ji Wei had a relatively peaceful relationship. As long as he didn't have to deal with Ji Yushi and Ji Xuekong, the world could continue to be peaceful.

But Ji Yan didn't plan to go alone this time. He went back to his hometown, brought a bunch of New Year's goods, and kidnapped an important person—little Dun Dun—to attend the wedding with him.

Dun Dun is no longer a little kid and has grown quite a bit taller, but he is still Ji Yan's little shadow. According to Ji Qing, his love for the song "Iron-Eating Beast" is second only to "Little Jumping Frog". When Ji Yan appears on TV, he can temporarily give up "Baby Bus".

Ji Yan was very pleased with this and deeply felt his popularity among underage children.
