"Do you remember when you wanted to touch Little Yellow, but Little Yellow wouldn't let you, afraid of getting your hands dirty?" Cheng Yudie said casually during their walk.
“I remember,” Wen He said.
"Do you remember when you coughed up blood after singing, and when I came to hug you, you wouldn't let me, saying you were afraid of getting me dirty?"
Upon hearing this, Wen He's heart skipped a beat, and she froze on the spot.
In Cheng Yudie's eyes, Wen He was just like the little yellow dog that was wandering around back then.
Pitiful, kind, sensible, insecure, and timid...
Even though I deeply crave warmth, when I actually encounter it, I subconsciously feel that I am not good enough for it, and thus reject it.
"Now you know how I felt back then, right?" Cheng Yudie said with a smile, seeing Wen He's astonished look.
"Thank you for saving me from that dire situation without hesitation..."
Looking back carefully, every time Wen He wanted to back down, it was Cheng Yudie who firmly pulled him forward.
If she gets angry because of Wen He's cowardice and lets him back down even once, he will never be able to get over it.
Often, the courage required to pull someone out of the abyss is far greater than imagined.
Many people, when trying to help others, end up being dragged into the abyss themselves.
"At that time, most of your fans would probably have done the same."
"They just don't know what you look like or where you live."
“And I happen to have this information, so I came.”
Cheng Yudie said.
That's absolutely right.
Thinking back to when Wen He and Cheng Yudie first met...
That night, some people even got up in the middle of the night and drove to the beach in an attempt to find Wen He.
Some people saw the video at a bus stop, so they went to the nearest bus stop to look for him.
They walked until about 10 p.m., then went home.
"Next time you record the show, you stay home with Xiao Huang. I'll be back as soon as I finish recording. It should be quick. If we both leave, I'm afraid it will worry."
Seeing the extremely happy little yellow dog, Wen He slowly spoke.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After accompanying Wen He on that trip, Cheng Yudie became much bolder.
Moreover, I've gotten to know the three mentors a bit better, so I can basically handle things on my own.
certainly……
If there are too many viewers, then it's not certain.
However, even with Cheng Yudie by his side, it was difficult to eliminate the tension in this situation.
"Oh! Good idea! I also have some things to take care of here, so you can stay home and look after the house." Gao Chongting readily agreed with Wen He's suggestion.
"Can you manage on your own...?" Cheng Yudie asked with some concern.
"Probably..." Wen He said.
“He needs to get some experience. Wen He wants to hold concerts in the future, right? When he goes on stage and faces so many people, you can’t always stay by his side. It’s good for him to get used to the stage.”
Hearing Gao Chongting's words, Cheng Yudie also felt that there was some truth to them.
If I were to hold a concert in the future, I would definitely have to face a very large audience.
It's definitely necessary to practice your stage presence in front of an audience beforehand, so you don't feel weak in the knees when you actually go on stage.

The next day.
Wen He received a call from the director quite early on.
"Are you awake? Did I disturb you?" he said.
"No disturbance, I'm already awake. Is there something you need for calling so early?" Wen He asked.
"Great news! Fantastic good news!"
On the other end of the phone, the director's excitement had been accurately conveyed to Wen He.
He was so excited that his voice was trembling.
"The buzz surrounding your solo performance yesterday was absolutely phenomenal! It far exceeded our expectations!"
"Most importantly, we didn't give you any boosting for your solo performance!"
"The investors are very satisfied with my assessment, and a large number of advertisers have come forward wanting to invest in and sponsor our program."
"The investors have decided to no longer interfere with the program and to put it entirely under my control."
Upon hearing what the director said, Wen He also opened Douyin (TikTok).
He was then shocked to discover that the show "The Coming One" occupied seven spots on the trending list!
The top spot was his solo performance, the second spot was a promotional video, and the third spot was content from the three mentors.
And the first solo performance has already received more than two million likes!
Keep in mind, this has only been less than a day!
None of Wen He's own videos have generated this much buzz.
It seems that the exquisite video footage can further enhance the appeal of Wen He's songs.
Wen He's self-recorded videos are unedited and lack content; they are often just videos filmed against the sky.
In terms of visuals alone, it is indeed rather dull and uninteresting.
For some people who don't listen to music much and are used to fast-paced music...
These videos aren't even worth a second of their attention before they're scrolled away.
However, with professional visual enhancements like those from The Coming One, those who swiped away could stay.
If they can absorb even a small part of what you say, they're basically trapped; it's like being completely controlled.
“That’s a good thing. So, Director, do you have any ideas that you need me to work with?” he asked.
"The process remains the same as before, but I have a small request for you personally..." The director said this with a hint of guilt.
"you say."
"It's just..." He paused for a moment, seemingly trying to figure out the best way to phrase it.
"Well, actually, I want you to avoid doing live streams or releasing new songs during the duration of the show. I want to concentrate this traffic to boost the show and hopefully reach unprecedented heights."
After hesitating for a moment, the director finally told him the truth in a very direct way.
"Of course," Wen He readily agreed.
Wen He quite likes this director; he's not hypocritical and puts the interests of both sides out in the open, making things very clear.
When Gao Chongting personally intervened and drove his parents to the brink of despair, the entire internet was already frantically digging into the past involving his parents, and the public's attention was already running out of control.
If the director hadn't brought up The Coming One back then, spending money to generate buzz and overshadow that incident...
It's possible that Wen's parents might actually be driven to suicide by netizens.
If they really are dead, Gao Chongting, as the instigator of the cyberbullying, will definitely have to spend a few years in jail.
Now, regarding this seemingly small matter that the director mentioned, he's determined to help no matter what.
