Chapter 114 Nice to meet you!
On May 18, 2028, Jiang Huai's first solo tour "Nice to Meet You" was officially announced, totaling eight cities, with the first stop being held in Suzhou where he was born.
Before the tour began, Jiang Huai contacted the people he had met along the way one after another, and found that the fifty internal tickets he had estimated in advance were not enough. Then he realized that he already had many familiar friends and seniors and juniors - and of course the four most important ones, himself.

My friend said that her favorite vtb posted pictures of the internal tickets for this concert. I originally suspected that Jingming was secretly selling the internal tickets to make money, but then I found out that vtb was Huai’s roommate during the talent show...Husband, please stop posting, okay? You sent out so many internal tickets, where are my tickets?! ?

And why doesn't Suzhou Olympic Sports Center open a stadium but a gymnasium? There are only more than 10,000 tickets. How can I draw the lottery?

Those whose IPs are not in Jiangsu are not allowed to come to the first game, okay? I am a local of Suzhou and I have some opinions. Thank you.

What made me most angry was seeing N2NR post a Weibo post. It’s ok for the eight old leeks, but why did N2NR also post one? Jianghuai, please say something!

What is N2NR?

It's the group that you and your senior Huai work part-time in for a week. The name is too hard to remember so their nickname is N2NR. I really don't understand. Feng Sui is also a fan, and so am I. Feng Sui can get my Huai free ticket, so why can't I?

Who is the murderer? Program team, I will not let you go. I also signed up for the amateur recruitment. Why did you let yanxunyx go and not let me go? Otherwise, I would have got the ticket, right? And why didn't Elysium open it for me? Otherwise, I would have got the ticket, right? Are you guys worthy of me?
Tickets for the tour will officially go on sale at 12:00 noon on May 26.
Jingming Media adopted the practice of real-name registration and lottery for seat selection based on price points to prevent scalpers, but it was still difficult to get tickets for the inner field, and some people were happy while others were worried on Weibo Square.

Is there anyone who will check in and cheer together on that day?

Please give me back my ticket. [I want to report.jpg]
At 10:47 on June 24, 2028, it is 6 hours and 13 minutes before the first stop of the "Nice to Meet You" tour officially opens.
There was a lot of noise outside the venue. The fan club had reserved a large screen opposite the stadium. On the screen, Jiang Huai stretched out his hand in the direction of the stadium, and it looked like he was right in front of them.
The pole-type roll-up banners were lined up from the end of the long street to the front of the stadium, and were blown open by the breeze. If you look at them one by one, you will find that they are all the fan photos of Jiang Huai's stage styles since his debut, and the stage date is marked on each photo.
Jiang Huai's expressions in the fan photos were different. As Chu Yuanqing walked over, he heard two fans who came with him arguing about whether Jiang Huai looked better with a smile or a cold face.
He didn't join in the discussion, just smiled and walked on.
The side door of the stadium was the official designated place for the distribution of support items. Chu Yuanqing went back to his old job as a stand-up guy and arrived at the agreed location fifteen minutes early.
Deng Zhenyi, the head of the fan club who hadn't been seen for a long time, arrived earlier than him: "I miss you... Goodbye Chunfen, you came so soon?"
Why is Deng Zhenyi also secretly saying that she misses your brother?
He almost couldn't maintain the expression on his face, and smiled calmly: "Jiang Huai came to the backstage in the morning, and I have nothing to do alone."
"...Okay." Deng Zhenyi groaned inwardly, and after complaining about her speechless feelings, she returned to her work, "You'll be in charge of this side later. You have to be at level nine to receive this..."
"It's been a long time since I last saw Jiang Huai." Lin Yuanbai said with emotion.
He opened WeChat to confirm: "The last time he sent me a message was in May when he wished me a happy birthday, and the last time we met was when we had dinner together last year. It's been more than a year."
The backstage lounge was spacious. Jian Yuan and Shan Tonghe both rolled 1 in their dice game and went out to get the fruit tea they ordered. Therefore, Ruan Qiao was able to lie on the soft sofa by himself: "Who told you all to be so busy? Only Jian Yuan came out to play with me when he called."
"You never called me." Yu Lan said calmly.
Ruan Qiao was about to ask back if you would come without Jiang Huai, but Yu Lan had already returned to the previous topic: "I actually met Jiang Huai in April. When we were having dinner, he brought me a real handwritten letter signed by him."
Wei Xiuyuan, who was sitting upright opposite, looked at Lin Yuanbai. He smiled with a hint of regret and numbness, as if to say that I shouldn't have mentioned this, and that Yu Lan was still this dead. "I've seen the Weibo you posted."
In the dressing room on the other side of the wall, Louis Bernard, who designed all the costumes for this tour, was confirming the final look with the staff. The blonde designer looked a little nervous: "We will change into this outfit during the parade... There will be less time, so we need to move quickly."
"Louis!" Jiang Huai sat in the makeup chair and called him, "How do you think it looks?"
The stage is already very demanding on makeup, and since the audience is basically watching the big screen at the concert, the makeup is much heavier than usual. The thick dark gray eyeshadow blends perfectly from the brow bone to the nose bone. The makeup artist also put a teardrop diamond under the corner of his eye, which just casts the teardrop diamond into the shadow when the eyelashes fall.
Bernard was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously used his native language again: "...Très séduisant. (Very charming.)"
[From his perspective, why do I look like a ghost with my heavy makeup? ] Jiang Huai said in confusion, [I don’t think it’s exaggerated when I look in the mirror. ]
"I think you should stop asking." Sheng Mingzhi tried to dissuade Si Xi, "Could he give you a different answer?"
Si Xi was staring at Yan Xun in the corner. The second-generation rich man was sitting alone in the corner, swiping his phone screen alone. He was more convinced: "It doesn't seem real. Do you understand?"
"I've already said I don't understand." Sheng Mingzhi sighed, "I'm not an expert in homosexuality like you guys. Just ask if you want to." He couldn't stop him anyway.
Si Xi went without hesitation, and returned disappointed half a minute later. Sheng Mingzhi was not surprised at all: "What do you mean?"
"He rolled his eyes and said in a sarcastic tone that Jiang Huai had told him a long time ago that I had a problem with my brain, and today he finally saw it." The more Si Xi thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. "Why do I feel like Jiang Huai had planned this in advance?"
"Just treat it as Jiang Huai's business secret." Sheng Mingzhi said that this seemed to be correct, but for the sake of peace, he chose to change the subject, "I think we can take a photo with Jiang Huai behind his back now... Okay?"
At 16:53, the concert hadn't started yet, but the atmosphere was already lively enough. When the big screen switched to the MV of "Addiction", Chu Yuanqing slowly came to the special seat area that had been reserved in advance.
Yan Xun, who was sitting at the outermost seat, immediately retracted his feet and sat up straight. Chu Yuanqing walked in without looking around. When he passed by Yu Lan, he nodded and greeted her, then sat down at the innermost seat at a leisurely pace.
Two fans in the back row were whispering, "I said this seat must be reserved for someone who misses your brother. The arrangement of the seats is really mysterious, the mistress and the wife are placed on the left and right."
"So the French guy is accompanying you backstage?"
"Can you please show some respect to your French friends?"
"Do you respect Yan Xun...Okay, I'm sorry, Huang Mao."
Jiang Huai, who was waiting in the backstage, couldn't help but laugh, then he retracted his scattered mental energy - it was better to concentrate on the stage.
Three, two, one——
The moment the countdown jumped to 0, air pumps and screams sounded around the stage at the same time.
The smoke cleared, and Jiang Huai emerged in the flickering lights, his long cape fluttering in the wind. He leaned forward slightly, smiling faintly as he greeted the audience who had come to meet him.
The opening stage was "Mask" from April's new album.
The powerful accompaniment of the live band hit people's hearts, and the clear and bright high notes sounded. The audience was stunned for a moment, thinking it was a new song, and the atmosphere exploded to its highest point again after a few seconds.
Jiang Huai held the microphone with a chain decoration around his wrist. When he raised his head and sang, the chain made a crisp sound with his movement, like some kind of shout.
Concerts last a long time, and the physical demands on the performers to sing and dance at the same time are too great, so it is an impossible task to avoid any mistakes.
Most idols would choose to use a semi-open mic method, that is, adding some original vocals to the accompaniment while recording live sound. In the process of preparing for "Thousand Faces", Jiang Huai's biggest gain was to accept reality, so he chose to accept the imperfect live effect.
During the preparation for the concert, he re-arranged the dance arrangements for several big songs to avoid the collision of high notes and dance breaks. When arranging the repertoire, he also interspersed slow songs and talk sessions between the dance music to take a breath and prevent too much physical energy from being consumed at one time.
During the dance break, Jiang Huai untied his cape and threw it back. The shirt inside was hollowed out on both sides, with only two decorative silver chains stuck on the waist. His thin waist was faintly visible as he danced. When he was at the fixed point, Jiang Huai put his right hand on his chin, strangling his throat.
The fans were in a trance for a moment, their eyes moved up from the neck, and suddenly they found a silver object... Did Jiang Huai wear such big earrings? How could he not notice it just now?
At the end of the song, hundreds of spotlights focused on Jiang Huai at the same time, and the teardrops under his eyes sparkled brightly under the lights. He smiled and said, "Thank you all for coming to see me... It's nice to meet you!"
More than an hour later, the big screen began playing a VCR video, and Jiang Huai was surrounded by staff in the backstage and quickly began to prepare for the float parade.
The makeup artist swept the brush left and right to check and touch up the makeup. He took off his clothes and put them on again. He took two gulps of the water handed to him by Bernard in the crowd. In the midst of his busy schedule, he answered 819: [How do you feel... a little tired. But I am very happy. Very very very happy. ]
[I now feel that I am the happiest person in the world.] Jiang Huai said, [and the luckiest person in the world.]
The parade was halfway through, and Jiang Huai turned from this area to the other half. One of the fans who had been talking to him earlier turned to the big screen reluctantly, and suddenly realized something was wrong: "Why is there only one SVIP left in the front, and one who misses your brother? When did Lao Jiujiu leave?"
“…I didn’t notice they left either.”
"Wait, all the old guys are gone... Is this the special guest segment?!"
"Encore! Encore!" The float drove into the backstage, and the audience shouted for an encore. When the stage lights came on again, the nine people on the stage were wearing the white uniforms from the original makeup photos of "Produce Producer". Jiang Huai's eyebrows curved: "Do you still remember the summer that we said would never end?"
The familiar melody of Endless Summer sounded. It started with Yu Lan's part: "The sun sways and talks in dreams..."
Jiang Huai turned around briskly, and Yu Lan happened to be looking at him. Jiang Huai put his hands together and put them to his left ear and tilted his head, pretending to dream in line with the lyrics. Yu Lan's mouth curved upwards, and she smiled at him again, and continued to sing: "There is always your smile in my dreams."
After the nine people finished singing the chorus, it was finally Jiang Huai's turn. Si Xi hooked his shoulder and raised his microphone to Jiang Huai's mouth. Someone in the audience exclaimed, "What a great microphone!" Jiang Huai laughed so hard that the first note trembled, and he insisted on opening the microphone: "Let's talk about everything..."
The three-hour concert came to an end in a blink of an eye. After the last encore, Jiang Huai asked with a smile: "Are you all happy today?"
The audience shouted: "Happiness!!!"
The lift slowly descended, and Jiang Huai responded loudly: "Thank you everyone! I love you! It's nice to meet you!"
The first show was an encore of "Endless Summer", the second show was a cover of a traditional Chinese song with Ming Xian's style, and the third show was a role-reversal of "Bow to Him"... Jiang Huai has prepared something new for each tour, hoping that fans will feel fresh.
His Weibo was gradually filled with group photos and cheering check-ins, and the last sentence of each post was the name of the tour: "Nice to meet you." The same was true for his first station, Goodbye Spring Equinox. Chu Yuanqing always accompanied Jianghuai on the tour until the very end.
"Thank you all for coming here. The last song today was inspired by my tour...dedicated to you, my favorite people." Jiang Huai sat on the edge of the stage, cannons blasted, and streamers slowly fell from the sky, like a meteor shower that would never stop and never end.
The lights gradually dimmed, Jiang Huai gently plucked the guitar strings, the soft melody flowed through his fingertips, the tears in his eyes were gradually dried by the wind, only his eyes looked brighter. At this moment, the venue controller cut the lights to bright yellow, and more than 40,000 people waved their cheering sticks and listened to him singing softly: "...I look forward to every spring equinox with you by my side."
The shouts came one after another and collided with each other. The voices were different, the answers were also different, but love was so similar. Jiang Huai looked up at the ribbons falling all over the sky, and suddenly opened his palms, catching a stardust in this reality that was more magnificent than a dream.
The stars fell to the earth.
The system broadcast sounded: [Congratulations to the host for reaching level A. 】
