Night had just fallen, and the neon lights in Yang Cheng looked unusually lively.
Winter in this city wasn't particularly cold. Even though it was already the twelfth lunar month, compared to Jiang City, the temperature at night was still considered very warm.
Xi Xi finally didn't have to cover herself up. She didn't need a hat, gloves, sweater, or trousers. She wore an orange-red down jacket and a wine-red scarf. It was beautiful and warm enough.
Moreover, she was in her father's arms. Her father's embrace gave her warmth and a sense of security. She wrapped her arms around her father's neck excitedly and looked around.
They were waiting in line for the ticket check to enter.
This was the Yang Cheng Stadium. It could hold fifty thousand people, including the two thousand VIP seats near the stage. This scale was much larger than Jiang City's Popular House Music Hall. It was said that the concert tickets had been sold out a month ago, so there was a long queue even at the VIP ticket check. Fortunately, Yang Yi didn't mind.
"Papa, there are so many people here!" Xi Xi looked excitedly for a while before she whispered in her father's ear, "There are so many people. How are we going to find Mom?"
"There's no need to look for her. We'll watch from below the stage. When Mom goes on stage to sing, we'll be able to see her!" Yang Yi whispered in Xi Xi's ear.
"Really? Mom can sing? I love hearing Mom sing! " Xi Xi's eyes lit up. She tugged at her scarf, which was a little uncomfortable. After all, the weather wasn't too hot.
"Mm, but you have to promise Dad that you won't shout when the time comes." Yang Yi reached out to tidy his daughter's hair and said gently.
"Mm! I know. I can't let anyone know! " Xixi nodded sensibly. She even put up a finger and made a shushing gesture, but her eyes were curved with a smile.
…
"Let's not talk about the past anymore. Just a small talk. I'll say one sentence to you, just one sentence …"
Chen Yijie's soulful singing gradually faded on the stage.
However, the more than 40,000 passionate fans in the audience did not make a single sound. They were quiet, swaying their light sticks, as if they were looking at the night sky at the North Pole. Everyone was immersed in Chen Yijie's singing.
Only when Chen Yijie slowly sang the last line, "Long time no see," did they start clapping. Most of them didn't even dare to disturb Chen Yijie's affectionate expression. Only a few fangirls couldn't help but shout, "Eason!"
In the end, the applause and cheers sounded like an explosion after a long silence!
This was Chen Yijie's stage appeal. Yang Yi couldn't help but applaud for him.
"Thank you, everyone." Chen Yijie thanked them in Cantonese and repeated it in Mandarin.
"I'm going to change my clothes. But don't be in a hurry, everyone. Today, I've invited a guest who sings really well. She's also a very popular singer!" Before Chen Yijie could finish, some of the audience had already shouted out Murphy's name for him.
After all, this wasn't a secret. Tian Xiang and Tian Mei had already announced the news.
"That's right, it's Miss Murphy. Welcome …" Chen Yijie smiled and raised his hand above his head. He clapped as he turned to look backstage.
Murphy, dressed to the nines, was slowly walking out. The big screen was already projecting her.
"Ah, Mom, it's Mom!"
Xi Xi, who was below the stage, cried out in surprise. However, she quickly remembered her promise to her father. She quickly lowered her voice and shook her father's hand, eager to tell him about this discovery.
The scene was very noisy. If one didn't speak loudly, they wouldn't be able to hear it. Yang Yi glanced at the audience nearby. When he saw that they didn't notice, he relaxed.
He put Xi Xi on his lap and lowered his head. His face was pressed against her soft hair as he said, "Yes, it's Mom. Your Mom is going to sing!"
Xi Xi nodded happily. She waved the light stick in her hand excitedly. Previously, she had only waved it around because it was fun. Now, Xi Xi wanted to do her best to attract her mother's attention.
Murphy, who was on the stage, walked to Chen Yijie's side.
Chen Yijie politely made an inviting gesture. He smiled and introduced her to the fans below the stage. "To be honest, Murphy and I weren't familiar with each other before. Although I've always known that there's a singer in China who has a very good voice and singing skills, and of course, Murphy is also very beautiful. But trust me, she's definitely not going to walk the path of an idol singer. She's a talented singer like me!"
This was a bit like selling melons to a woman!
Chen Yijie's humor was met with laughter from the fans and a round of applause for Murphy.
Murphy stood gracefully on the stage like a snow lotus. She was quiet and elegant, but she wasn't cold and heartless. She still smiled slightly and interacted with Chen Yijie a little.
This was already very rare!
"My interaction with Murphy was because of Teacher Mu Ziang. Teacher Mu Ziang not only wrote 'Long Time No See' and 'Better Not to See' for me, but also wrote many classic songs for Murphy. So trust me, when Murphy replaces me to warm up the stage, her singing won't disappoint everyone. Everyone just needs to enjoy her heavenly voice to the fullest!" Chen Yijie's introduction made many fans who didn't pay attention to Murphy interested in Murphy.
Mu Ziang? Chen Yijie's fans were now very familiar with this songwriter. What would the song he wrote for another singer be like?
"Eason, you're overpraising me." Murphy was a little embarrassed by the praise and couldn't help but say.
"Not at all. By the way, Murphy, what song are you going to bring us today?" Chen Yijie pretended not to know and asked with a smile.
"A new song from my new album, 'Listen to the Sea'." Murphy held the microphone and said.
"Okay, then the stage will be handed over to you!" Chen Yijie waved his hand and went backstage to change his clothes through the gas-filled elevator.
On the big stage, except for the band behind, there was only Murphy left. More than 40,000 audience looked at her, standing alone and quietly on the stage, Murphy seemed to feel lonely and helpless.
Murphy was actually a little nervous. She hadn't stood on such a big stage for almost six years, right? She almost forgot the feeling of being the focus of attention!
But in the prelude of 'Listen to the Sea', as soon as the clean piano sound came, Murphy immediately put this little nervousness behind her. It seemed that the familiarity imprinted in her bones made Murphy enter the singing state.
The string music also began to join in. This beautiful prelude made many of Chen Yijie's fans quiet down and listen carefully.
"Write to me and tell me what color the sea is today …" Murphy's equally clean voice opened the curtain of the sea.
Her voice was really good!
Chen Yijie's fans were basically people who really loved listening to music. They didn't pay too much attention to Murphy's fairy-like appearance superficially. As soon as Murphy opened her mouth, they already had their own judgment of Murphy's voice.
This evaluation was not bad!
"Accompanying your sea every night, how do you feel …"
If the first sentence was to show off her voice, then the second sentence was to show off Murphy's singing skills. It was still a clean and ethereal voice, but it sang this small high note beautifully without leaving any trace.
Almost everyone heard this small high note, but most people ignored the difficulty of this small high note because of Murphy's singing skills. Perhaps anyone could sing a high note in this section, but to sing such a normal high note, sing up and down slowly, and sing with such ease, I'm afraid only a few people could do it!
"Where did such a good singer come from?" Many fans who were not familiar with Murphy were now interested in learning more about Murphy.
