Early in the morning, Zhou Chao got up, sat on the balcony, and enjoyed the view outside. The gentle breeze brushing against his face provided a comfortable sensation.
“Brother Chao, the feeling of the gentle breeze is so soothing!” Jiang Li appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.
“Why are you up so early? Don’t you want to rest a bit more?”
“The sun is already high up. I can’t sleep anymore!” Zhou Chao checked the time; it was nearly 10 AM, and he felt like he hadn’t been on the balcony for long.
Today, Jiang Li wore blue overalls, paired with a white and blue sailor suit and white flat shoes. She had her hair in a bun, exuding youthful energy.
“Brother Chao, are we going to spend the whole day at the hotel today?” Jiang Li joined Zhou Chao on the balcony.
“We’re taking it easy today. We’re going to a concert tonight! Looking forward to it?” Zhou Chao pinched Jiang Li’s cute nose lightly.
“Yeah, looking forward to it.” They hugged each other quietly, gazing into the distant sky.
“Brother Chao, look at that beautiful cloud!” Zhou Chao followed Jiang Li’s finger, pointing at a cloud that resembled a big chicken leg.
The weather today was exceptionally good, with a bright sun and clear blue sky. Fluffy white clouds floated in the sky, like sails decorating the blue ocean, making everything appear exceptionally beautiful.
The peaceful moment was disrupted by Li Yang’s arrival.
“You two, what are you doing sitting on the balcony? Haven’t you seen enough yesterday?” Zhou Chao was taken aback when he heard Li Yang’s words.
“Big Bro, why are you so dull? We’re enjoying the scenery. What brings you here?” Zhou Chao stood up from his chair, looking at Li Yang with disdain. “What’s wrong with me?” Li Yang looked puzzled, not knowing what he did wrong.
“People are appreciating the view here, and you come here to ruin the mood. You really lack taste!” Shen Lan’s voice came from behind, echoing Zhou Chao’s sentiments.
“Oh, 1 was sleepwalking just now, didn’t know what was happening!” Li Yang pretended to sleepwalk and walked into the bedroom, leaving the three others stunned.
Zhou Chao and Jiang Li sat together, listening to the first song. Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand a bit tighter, and they exchanged glances before raising their glow sticks and swaying them to the music.
After the first song, Jacky Cheung greeted the fans warmly and interacted with them. Then he proceeded to sing more of his hit songs. Audience song requests and singing along with the fans were all part of Jacky Cheung’s normal routine.
Many of Jacky Cheung’s fans were older and had grown up listening to his songs. Some had never appreciated his music in their younger days but found it touching now. Many in the audience couldn’t help but cry as they listened.
Whenever Jacky Cheung performed, the stage lights would suddenly focus on a particular fan in the audience. If it was a couple, they were expected to kiss in front of everyone, creating a fun atmosphere.
As the concert continued, some fans were moved to tears, others laughed, and there were also those who cheered enthusiastically. Among the fans, there were those with extraordinary singing skills who dazzled the crowd. Emotionally charged performances could move the entire audience. Of course, there were also off-key moments and voice cracks that added to the overall enjoyment.
Then, the spotlight shone on Jiang Li, and she was taken aback. She covered her mouth with her hands, and Zhou Chao, sitting beside her, saw the spotlight on them. Without hesitation, he pulled her close and kissed her passionately.
When their faces appeared on the big screen, the entire Hong Kong Coliseum erupted in excitement. They were a truly good-looking pair, and the cheers echoed throughout the venue. Even Jacky Cheung, looking at the passionate kiss, couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Good-looking guy, beautiful lady, your public display of affection is making us all feel envious!” Jacky Cheung’s words brought Zhou Chao and Jiang Li back to reality. They had just kissed in front of over ten thousand people, and Jiang Li’s face turned bright red as she covered it with her hands.
“This beautiful lady is shy. How about you, handsome guy? Is she your girlfriend?”
“She’s not only my girlfriend but also my future wife!” Zhou Chao declared in front of the large audience, making Jiang Li’s shy face light up with a happy smile.
“Wow, then I’ll wish you both a happy marriage in advance! Any song request from the handsome guy?” Jacky Cheung asked Zhou Chao.
“I’d like to request the song (Let You Know),” Zhou Chao requested, surprising Jacky Cheung because this song was dedicated to his future wife. Nevertheless, Jacky Cheung understood Zhou Chao’s sentiment.
“A song ‘Wn?’ for everyone!” The music started, and many fans smiled and embraced the people around them.
“Oh man, why wasn’t it us just now? So jealous!” Zhou Chao and Jiang Li had just sat down, and Li Yang, sitting beside them, started complaining, making everyone burst into laughter.
The concert continued as usual, but surprises kept coming. Public displays of affection were abundant, and even more intense than Zhou Chao’s, creating a lively atmosphere. There was even a live marriage proposal, where someone got down on one knee, adding to the excitement.
The concert lasted until 10 PM, and the fans were reluctant to leave. When the show finally ended, Jacky Cheung returned for an encore and sang”— (With You All the Way) on the spot. Fans slowly began to leave the Hong Kong Coliseum, savoring every moment.
It’s said that those who didn’t listen to Jacky Cheung in their youth and only understood his music later in life were the ones who truly understood its emotional depth..
