Dating the Heartthrob Superstar-Chapter 37: The Sound of Nature

Chapter 37: The Sound of Heaven

Of course, the so-called canceling of the performance was just Meng Chao venting his frustration for a moment. He was already prepared to see his lifelong reputation ruined by this concert.

With mental preparation, everything else is just trivial.

Compared to worrying about himself, he was actually more concerned about Lin Qin, afraid that Lin Qin couldn’t adapt to the stage and the audience’s gaze. So after pulling Lin Qin away, Meng Chao found an empty place to sit face-to-face with him.

He handed Lin Qin a bottle of water and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Because he was going on stage later, Lin Qin was so nervous that his mouth was dry, and his palms were sweaty.

He couldn’t accept others’ gazes falling on him, each one feeling like a knife attempting to slash him. Even just imagining it, Lin Qin couldn’t bear it, let alone actually standing on stage later.

Lin Qin drank water in gulps, as if these gulps could calm his restless heart.

Soon, the bottle was empty. Lin Qin couldn’t help but swallow, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down.

Meng Chao gently placed his hand on top of Lin Qin’s head, "I’ll be watching you from below, don’t worry. Trust me, I will stand in front of you and shield you from all malice."

Lin Qin remained silent, and after a long time, he reached out to take Meng Chao’s hand off his head and placed it on his own face, rubbing it.

He spoke with difficulty, "Okay, I believe you."

Meng Chao lowered his head, his warm lips fell gently on Lin Qin’s forehead, tender and affectionate.

The restless heart miraculously calmed down. As long as he thought of himself standing on stage and Meng Chao watching him from below, with eyes only for him, Lin Qin felt fearless and stopped being afraid.

He threw himself into Meng Chao’s arms, hugging his waist tightly.

Meng Chao kissed the top of Lin Qin’s head, offering him the utmost sense of security with his broad and warm embrace.

In no time, night fell.

The small stage on the beach was lit up, and tourists were gradually attracted over. Initially, they were somewhat disinterested, but the moment the host took the stage, the whole beach went wild.

The host was a top figure in the variety show hosting world, a household name. As soon as he appeared, the crowd realized this wasn’t some merchant’s promotional event, for they went so far as to invite this host. Surely, bigger celebrities would appear afterward.

News of a celebrity event on the beach spread like wildfire. The initially sparse crowd grew thicker and thicker, and within ten minutes, it was densely packed, as far as the eye could see.

Fortunately, the program team was well prepared, with security in place, setting up barricades to keep the latecomers out.

By then, the host had already announced the purpose of today’s event according to the script, and when the audience found out which celebrities were about to appear, the beach erupted in screams.

No organization was needed; the crowd spontaneously took out their phones and turned on the flashlights as makeshift support banners.

When deciding the order of appearance earlier, Fresh Meat Team and Legend Team left it to Lin Qin and Meng Chao to settle with rock-paper-scissors. This time, to give Lin Qin more time to prepare, Meng Chao didn’t go easy, and after winning, he chose to go on stage first.

Seeing Meng Chao do this, Chen Jingqing pretended to sigh heavily, expressing a sense of tragic betrayal.

Han Zhi came over, patted Chen Jingqing on the shoulder to comfort him, as if to say, accept your fate.

Even though Han Zhi’s status wasn’t as high as the other three present, he had a good personality, confident without arrogance. After spending a day together, he got along well with the superstar actors and never felt excluded.

Moreover, Chen Jingqing’s appreciation for Han Zhi was evident. He even exchanged contact information with Han Zhi, asking him to call him brother.

Despite this, Han Zhi remained appropriately respectful to Chen Jingqing and didn’t overstep, thinking he could be on equal footing with him.

Because of Han Zhi’s rare openness and genuine talent, Chen Jingqing was willing to help him along.

As the host announced the start of the concert, Meng Chao and Chen Jingqing stepped onto the stage.

Undoubtedly, this was the smallest of stages. Compared to Chen Jingqing’s concerts, which attracted tens of millions, this was nothing. However, even if there was only one fan in the audience, Chen Jingqing would, with a grateful heart, put on his best performance. Throughout his career, he never half-heartedly sang any of his songs.

Fans gave him their sincerity, and he could only repay that sincerity by doing his work as well as possible.

This is one of the reasons Chen Jingqing’s longevity in the industry, though the main reason remains the quality of his work; his excellent works naturally retain and even attract more fans.

Even though the song they performed now was rushed together that afternoon, every note and every beat was filled with Chen Jingqing’s reverence and gratitude.

Due to time constraints, there might have been flaws in the song, but with Chen Jingqing’s 100% performance, it became perfect in the fans’ hearts.

And Meng Chao, the tone-deaf one...

He was merely pretending to sing.

The entire time, he swayed with the music, his mouth opening and closing, looking convincing. But if you listened closely, you couldn’t hear his voice at all.

The well-renowned film emperor, in order to conceal his tone-deafness, put on an Oscar-worthy performance on stage, pretending to sing along behind Chen Jingqing.

However, the atmosphere was so lively thanks to Chen Jingqing that no one noticed the film emperor was faking it.

But Lin Qin, who was focused on Meng Chao, noticed. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

He opened his mouth slightly. Could he do that too?

Han Zhi, seeming to read Lin Qin’s thoughts, loudly said in his ear, "I’ve prepared a solo for you, are you ready?"

Having been with Meng Chao for so long, Lin Qin had picked up some of his tricks, "What? I can’t hear you!"

Han Zhi: "..."

He didn’t believe Lin Qin couldn’t hear, so he said again, "I’ve told you everything, if you mess up, you can say goodbye to the seafood feast!"

Lin Qin: "I can’t hear you!"

Han Zhi squinted at Lin Qin, pretending; keep pretending, let’s see how you pretend on stage!

Time seemed compressed, and suddenly it was time for Lin Qin and Han Zhi to go on stage.

As he approached the stage, Lin Qin felt the struggle again, his breathing became difficult, and he looked to the audience where Meng Chao stood.

Meng Chao gave him a thumbs-up, and in the darkness, Lin Qin could clearly sense the encouragement in Meng Chao’s eyes.

In a moment, all his nerves disappeared.
