Chapter 181: Don't come any closer, intentionally or unintentionally, I...
Hearing the screams and cheers from the crowd, Li Sishi maintained a smile on her face, but in the instant she turned her head, she glared at the person next to her with annoyance.
Although I do have a fear of heights in the early morning, even if I'm afraid of heights, it's not enough to sing a single word wrong in the lyrics, right?
Most importantly, the pronunciations of "时" (shí) and "是" (shì) are exactly the same. Because of his "mispronunciation," the lyrics no longer sound like the original "Seeing you at dawn, I like you the most," but rather like "Loving you at dawn, I like you the most"...
This guy definitely did it on purpose!
Unfortunately, the two of them were still on stage, so it wasn't appropriate to argue with him properly on the spot—Li Sishi secretly swallowed her anger, her smile remaining gentle and sweet, as if the lyrics she had just heard were the original version, showing no sign of being affected by the change in the lyrics.
In the early morning, he cautiously glanced at her and, seeing that Li Sishi didn't seem angry, his anxiety eased slightly, and he continued singing the first half of the song.
His singing voice is a unique deep bass, which, when paired with this beautifully written and soothing love song, creates a gentle, narrative feel, just like him. He may appear calm and peaceful on the surface, but it seems as if he is accumulating explosive power beneath the surface.
After the event ended, Li Sishi, who had just changed her clothes and was removing her makeup, was soon greeted by a handsome young man who knew he had done something wrong and had come to apologize honestly.
"Don't come any closer! I'm going to break off all contact with you for a week!" Li Sishi shouted deliberately before he even got close.
She turned around and immediately changed her expression, politely asking the makeup artist to leave for a moment, explaining that she and her friend had some issues to resolve.
The makeup artist and Li Sishi had become quite familiar with each other during rehearsals. Moreover, she was used to the real and fake relationships in the entertainment industry. When she saw Li Sishi arguing with Ling Chen like a sulking child, she smiled knowingly and voluntarily left the small dressing room.
Sigh, she's caught between a talented actress and an idol, but both are interested in her, making it difficult for a young girl like Li Sishi to choose.
Watching the makeup artist leave, Li Sishi puffed out her cheeks and applied makeup remover to her face herself, waiting for the person who came to "confess" as she did so.
Actually, the atmosphere in Hong Kong's entertainment industry at that time was not as conservative as it would become later. At concerts, it was not a big deal to kiss on the cheek or on the lips to show friendship or just because you were in the mood—provided that everyone was a good friend who could let loose and have fun together.
Rather than being in a state of ambiguity, more than friends but less than lovers.
In addition, he had specifically promised her before midnight that he would try his best not to cause her any trouble, but now he had blatantly launched a direct attack by singing the wrong lyrics at her solo concert. Even though Li Sishi knew in her heart that he didn't have any bad intentions, she still had to show her anger.
Otherwise, if the bad cat gets too demanding in the future, how will she deal with it?
Hearing her shouting in the early morning, he naturally understood what Li Sishi was thinking, so he lowered his head even further: "I... I was just angry for a moment..."
Recently, Li Sishi and Shang Hanyou have been filming together and spending a lot of time together. She was also arranged to be the first guest in the show's order. Even though one show wasn't even over, they were already booking the next one. How could he not be anxious?
"You can't just launch a surprise attack like that!" Li Sishi glared at him angrily. "If you're going to do that, you have to give me some time to prepare!"
"If I had prepared in advance for you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to 'win by surprise' like this... It's just that Lingchen is quite straightforward. He bluntly said what others would usually keep to themselves."
While speaking, it looked all wronged, just like those naughty cats who have made mistakes but are still arrogant and self-righteous, knowing that their owners will forgive them and thus remaining fearless.
Li Sishi was almost amused by his behavior: "You're still thinking about 'winning by surprise'?!"
Seeing Li Sishi's unpredictable expression, Ling Chen thought for a moment and then obediently nodded again.
So stubborn yet persistent in expressing his feelings, Li Sishi was at a loss for words. She could only glare at him resentfully again: "Get away from me! I promised to break up with you! Don't show your face in front of me this week!"
"Can I call you then?" Ling Chen asked very seriously.
“If it’s not necessary, then don’t fight at all…” Speechless at his peculiar thought process, Li Sishi waved her hand, and after briefly discussing with him the “statements” to be given to the media and others, she slumped onto the table in a weary state.
Sigh, being love-struck is such a hassle—but this love-struck guy is also handsome, making it hard to just cut him off directly.
However, although Li Sishi and many others felt sorry for him, upon hearing that Li Dazhuang had "deliberately sung the wrong lyrics to confess his love" in the early hours of the morning, he was furious. If he hadn't been a law student himself, he probably would have really been sharpening his knives to take revenge on the victims...
That's right, in Li Jinhao, the lawyer.
In his eyes, these popular superstars and leading men are just a bunch of pigs trying to steal his cabbage.
Originally, he wanted to squeeze out time from his busy work to attend every show to support his beloved daughter, Li Sishi. However, tickets for Li Sishi's solo concert were so popular that they were hard to come by, and there weren't many "family tickets" left for him. Li Jinhao, his mother, and his wife discussed it for a long time before deciding to let Li Sishi keep enough tickets so that she could bring the Zhou family, who had also chosen to attend the last show, to watch the concert together.
As for the previous ones—he wanted to avoid any appearance of impropriety during the female guests' episodes, and since he could probably guess that Li Sishi would interact with the male guests during the male guests' episodes, he simply chose not to go, so as not to be wronged by seeing them later…
The only time he could barely accept a performance was when Rong Juezhang, a distant relative, was a guest performer. For this, he was often ridiculed by Madam Li and Zhou Jiaxian for being old-fashioned and unable to accept new things.
Regarding their choice, Li Sishi expressed no eyesee: Although Rong Juezhang is her cousin by marriage, it is precisely because of this relationship that Rong Juezhang's particularly "slutty" nature...
Only those who are truly free-spirited can truly let loose without worrying about any strange rumors...
However, sooner or later they will have to face reality. Since this was the event chosen by the three of them, she shouldn't try anything underhanded just because she's worried about her family's acceptance.
She patiently explained over and over again to the endless stream of inquiries, until all the callers confirmed that it was just a deliberate "hype" or "gimmick." Exhausted, Li Sishi collapsed onto the bed, inwardly cursing the love-struck pretty boy once more.
But she really didn't have time to pay much attention to it. The guest performer for tomorrow night's show was Huang Qianyan, the soulful singer, who required more attention and effort than any other guest performer.
As for the other "minor issues," since information dissemination is not as widespread as it was in the smartphone era, as long as the source is well controlled, it can be guided into two explanations: that the concert was deliberately designed with this "seductive segment," and that the singer sang the wrong lyrics due to fear of heights when going up to the small platform at dawn. By giving two different explanations and sparking discussions in different directions, no one will care about the truth anymore.
The conflict between CP (couple pairing) supporters and solo stans has a long history, and they both selectively believe the version of events that best suits their own views, then fight for it and try their best to suppress the other version...
This debate might even fuel the fire, making what was already a very heated argument even more intense.
The solo concert, which is also very popular and attracts a lot of attention, has once again increased its popularity by one or two levels.
Upon receiving Li Sishi's reply overnight, Lu Yiting began preparing to guide the discussion, while also exclaiming to Zhuang Menghua, who had come upon hearing the news, "Ah May's move is truly brilliant; she turned a disadvantage into an advantage."
"She did a good job this time, unlike..." Zhuang Menghua's feelings were a little complicated when she thought about Huang Qianyan performing on stage with Li Sishi tomorrow night.
She was all alone. Besides treating her work like her own child, Huang Qianyan and Li Sishi, her two favorite protégés whom she recognized at first sight and whom she had personally nurtured, were also like her own children. Huang Qianyan, in particular, was the first person she had raised with such care and attention, and she cared for her even more than the always obedient and sensible Li Sishi.
Unfortunately, Huang Qianyan, who required the most effort, lacked the "demeanor of a general" and was quite independent. Neither of the two men she dated were satisfactory candidates.
Unlike Li Sishi, although she inevitably has rumors and rumored partners, both Shang Hanyou and Ling Chen are good guys that she and the public can accept if they genuinely want to date.
"Let's do as Ah May says for now. There are new reports every night. If Joey doesn't perform well, we can use his performance this morning to cover for him," Zhuang Menghua sighed and gave the order.
Although Li Sishi, out of sisterly affection, used her own concert to help Huang Qianyan, Zhuang Menghua knew from Huang Qianyan's performance that she was truly "hopeless."
That's why, after her performance at the Miss Hong Kong finals that year became a laughing stock, they quickly sent Wong Sin-yin back to continue making movies...
“I understand, Miss Zhuang.” Lu Yiting nodded. “However, Ah May’s design this time is not bad. Although Joey’s singing is not very good, this approach should be very popular with young people. It can make them overlook the problem with his singing skills.”
"I hope so. I also went to see the rehearsal, but Zhuang Menghua is a singer by profession, so she couldn't quite accept Li Sishi's "novel" design that was similar to singing and dancing but not entirely singing and dancing."
Zhuang Menghua wasn't the only one who lacked confidence in Huang Qianyan. On the fourth night, besides her die-hard fans who prioritized Huang Qianyan's looks, many in the audience were there out of curiosity and a desire to see the spectacle...
The legendary soulful singer has actually stepped onto the Hong Kong Coliseum stage, which is even "higher level" than the Miss Hong Kong finals. No matter what kind of performance she gives, the buzz surrounding her is sure to be huge!
The paparazzi who were lucky enough to snag tickets were itching to get started.
