Chapter 98 Going to Stefanie Sun's Concert
A few days later, it was almost the weekend.
Shen Jingyi reminded Lin Feng three days in advance that the 2004 Stefanie Sun China Tour Concert - Chengdu Station was about to be held.
"President, Stefanie Sun's concert is on Saturday night." Shen Jingyi spoke with a hint of nervousness, worried that Lin Feng wouldn't have time to attend. "We agreed on this before. Do you... have time?"
Lin Feng looked up from a pile of sales reports and saw Shen Jingyi's expectant eyes.
She wore a light beige dress today, her hair loosely tied back, revealing her fair neck. She seemed to have put on some light makeup, making her look more gentle than usual.
"I have time." Lin Feng put down his pen, smiled, and said, "I remember what I promised you."
A look of surprise quickly crossed Shen Jingyi's face: "Then... shall we take a taxi together from school the night after tomorrow?"
"good!"
Having received Lin Feng's affirmative reply, Shen Jingyi happily turned around and left Lin Feng's office.
Lin Feng watched her figure disappear through the door, and thought of Stefanie Sun... In 2004, she was at the height of her fame.
"Encounter," "Starting to Understand," "Green Light"... her songs are everywhere. Shen Jingyi really likes her songs, and Lin Feng likes them too.
The night after tomorrow will arrive soon.
That evening, Shen Jingyi dressed up carefully. Her hair was softly draped over her shoulders, with the ends slightly curled.
She wore exquisite makeup, with a soft mauve lip color, a light blue dress, and low-heeled sandals. She was radiant.
Lin Feng and Shen Jingyi took a taxi together to the provincial gymnasium.
The area outside the provincial stadium was packed with people, almost all of them young. Glow sticks and light-up headbands created a shimmering sea of color.
Lin Feng saw the cat ears on the heads of other girls, which were fluffy and cute. So, he bought one for Shen Jingyi as well.
She wore it on her head and looked very pure and lovely.
Shen Jingyi took off the cat ears, wanting to let Lin Feng try them on.
Lin Feng waved his hands repeatedly: "Wearing this... isn't really appropriate for me."
Shen Jingyi chuckled: "President, I just want to see if it looks good on you."
Lin Feng insisted on not wearing cat ears, so Shen Jingyi finally chose a blue, light-up headband for him.
Lin Feng took it and put it on his head. Shen Jingyi looked at him, her eyes curving into crescents, and she kept smiling.
In addition to the ones on their heads, the two also bought two green glow sticks.
After having my ticket checked, I entered the venue and found my seat.
Their seats were good, in the front row of the inner area. They were surrounded by excited young fans, waving glow sticks, talking and laughing loudly, eagerly anticipating their idols' appearance.
The enormous stage was shrouded in darkness, with only a few beams of light slowly sweeping across it.
The lights suddenly went out, and the crowd erupted in deafening screams and cheers.
Then, the intro began. A spotlight shone on the center of the stage, where Stefanie Sun's slender figure appeared, wearing a pure white T-shirt, hot jeans, and holding a guitar.
"Hoping for both luck and a breakthrough..."
The incredibly powerful voice, transmitted through top-of-the-line sound equipment, instantly drowned out the noise of the entire venue, striking straight to the heart.
Lin Feng turned his head and saw the faint glow of the glow stick reflected on Shen Jingyi's profile.
Her eyes were fixed on the stage, her lips humming softly along with the music, as if she were immersed in another world.
The next two hours were a musical extravaganza, a resonance among tens of thousands.
Stefanie Sun sang her classic songs, sometimes quietly and softly, sometimes energetically. The entire audience sang along, waving glow sticks, creating a undulating, colorful sea.
Shen Jingyi was completely immersed in the performance. She sang along, shouted along, and swayed her body to the rhythm. The smile on her face never disappeared, like a little girl who had finally received her beloved gift.
When she sang "Encounter," she suddenly turned to look at Lin Feng. The flashing lights illuminated her large eyes, which gradually welled up with tears, making her look incredibly charming.
"Who will I meet and what kind of dialogue will we have?" she sang along, her voice not loud, but clearly reaching Lin Feng's ears.
Her eyes held music, starlight, and something softer.
"The person I'm waiting for is in the far future..." She didn't look away, just watched Lin Feng finish singing this line.
Then, as the next melody began, she turned back to look at the stage, as if the brief eye contact and the lyrics were just an unconscious, natural expression.
But Lin Feng saw and felt the light of longing for love in her eyes, that emotion.
The concert atmosphere reached its peak amid cheers, and then slowly subsided with the dazzling fireworks and thunderous applause at the end.
As the event ended, the crowd moved slowly out, their faces showing satisfaction after the excitement.
Stepping out of the stadium, a cool night breeze brought much relief. The hustle and bustle gradually faded away, and the city's night view came into view once more.
Shen Jingyi was still immersed in the lingering charm of Stefanie Sun's singing, her face flushed and her eyes sparkling.
"It sounds really good, doesn't it?" she said to Lin Feng, her voice still carrying a hint of excitement.
"Yes, the effect on set is fantastic." Lin Feng nodded.
The two walked slowly along the riverbank. The summer night breeze carried the slightly fishy smell of the river water, bringing coolness.
There were also many stalls selling snacks and concert merchandise along the roadside, dimly lit.
"President," Shen Jingyi suddenly called him softly.
"Um?"
"Thank you for coming today." She stopped and faced the river. The lights on the opposite bank were dazzling.
"I'm so happy today! You came with me to Stefanie Sun's concert. She's my favorite."
"I'm very happy too." Lin Feng looked at her profile.
Shen Jingyi remained silent for a while, seemingly considering her words.
"Sometimes I feel like you're... like the producer of this concert. No, even more amazing." She turned her head and looked at him intently.
"When our school held a digital music festival, you were behind the scenes, arranging everything perfectly. You invited Tang Lei from Shenzhen to perform live and even secured sponsorship from China Mobile. You brought us surprise after surprise."
Then, the stage lights up, the music starts, and everyone shines. Tang Lei does, Yang Chengang does... and so do our digital music club members: Su Wan, Wang Peng, Xu Qiang... and me—everyone is burning with their own energy.
"You know, watching 'Lilac Flower' and 'Mice Love Rice' go from being just songs to becoming ringtones, MP3s, and viral hits online... everyone's listening to them and buying them. It's a wonderful feeling. It's like you've personally lit a spark and watched it grow into a raging fire."
She smiled slightly, a smile that contained admiration, and a deeper emotion that flowed quietly under the cover of night.
"Working with you always makes me feel... no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will definitely be able to overcome them. Because you are there."
The night breeze ruffled the hair on her cheek, and she gently tucked it behind her ear. That gesture was particularly captivating.
Sometimes I think that meeting you is probably the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me.
Shen Jingyi blushed and looked up at Lin Feng.
That sentiment, however, was like a flower quietly blooming in the night, exuding a delicate fragrance.
Lin Feng smiled and didn't say anything. He just stood next to her, watching the river flow and the lights reflected in it, shattering into a flowing river of stars.
After a long while, Shen Jingyi seemed to come back to her senses from some kind of emotion, took a light breath, and regained her composure.
"It's getting late, club president, let's go back to school."
"it is good."
The two hailed a car and headed towards Xichuan University of Technology.
The neon lights outside the taxi window were dazzling.
Lin Feng sat beside her, about a hand's width apart. Shen Jingyi felt a little uneasy.
Did I say too much by the river just now? Did he... understand the feelings I was trying to hide?
"Which song did you like best tonight?" Lin Feng suddenly asked, breaking the silence between the two.
"Encounter." Shen Jingyi turned her face and answered almost subconsciously. Then she immediately remembered the line, "Who will I meet, and what kind of dialogue will we have?" and her ears started to burn again.
Lin Feng nodded: "Indeed. The song 'Encounter' can instantly capture the emotions of tens of thousands of people in the audience, allowing them to immerse themselves in the story."
"Mmm," Shen Jingyi responded softly. She actually had a lot to say. But when the words reached her lips, she felt that any of them would seem inappropriate, too blunt, or too childish.
The car fell silent again. The driver turned up the radio volume, and one old song after another began to play.
The taxi drove through most of the city and finally arrived at the gate of Xichuan University of Technology.
The two got off the bus, and groups of students walked by chatting and laughing. In the distance, the dormitory buildings were brightly lit.
"I'll walk you downstairs," Lin Feng said.
"No need, it's just a short walk," Shen Jingyi blurted out, then realized she had refused too quickly, pursed her lips, and said, "...Okay."
They walked side by side on the campus road leading to the Linjiangyuan girls' dormitory, their footsteps clear in the silence.
The closer she got to her dormitory, the more the flutter in Shen Jingyi's heart, which she had managed to suppress, began to resurface. The walk wasn't long; it seemed like she hadn't even had time to say anything more before she was about to reach the end.
The lights were on at the entrance of the dormitory building, and you could vaguely hear laughter and music coming from inside.
Several couples were whispering to each other under the tree.
Shen Jingyi stopped in front of the steps, turned around, and faced Lin Feng.
"I've arrived, President."
"Okay, get some rest."
Shen Jingyi did not turn around and leave immediately. She looked up at him slightly, her eyes holding many unspoken words.
"President," she called again, this time in a softer voice, "Tonight... I'm really happy. Not just because of the concert."
She was gathering her courage, her long eyelashes drooping down and then lifting up again, her clear gaze looking into Lin Feng's eyes.
"I used to think that it was already rare to be able to turn what you love into a career. But now I think it's even rarer to be able to work together with... people you admire, in the same direction." She spoke slowly, each word as if carefully chosen.
"Watching you lead everyone to create miracles... that feeling is fascinating..."
A faint blush rose to her cheeks, and her gaze began to dart away.
"I don't know how to put it properly. I just want to tell you that knowing you and working with you is extremely important to me... No matter how far or difficult the road ahead may be, I want to... continue to follow you and walk together."
Lin Feng listened quietly. He could sense the courage in the other person's words.
This intelligent, enthusiastic girl with a sparkle in her eyes shed her usual restraint, revealing a soft and genuine side within.
He raised his hand and gently tucked a strand of hair that had been blown across her cheek by the wind behind her ear. His fingertips brushed against the skin near her ear.
"Jingyi, you're amazing! The Digital Music Club wouldn't be where it is today without you. The road ahead is long, let's work hard together."
