Chapter 3525 The Last Concert

After Ye Chen and Xiao Churan arrived in Yanjing, they checked into the hotel next to the National Stadium.

Because a concert was about to start, the entire hotel was fully booked, and the two of them waited for nearly half an hour to check in.

After checking in, the two had nothing to do, so Xiao Churan suggested that they go for a stroll in the center of Yanjing. Xiao Churan, who studied art and design, liked the courtyard houses within the second ring road of Yanjing very much and wanted to go for a stroll with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen readily agreed, but he never thought that Xiao Churan just wanted to go with Ye Chen to visit the place where Ye Chen had lived as a child.

The two of them strolled through the alleys within the Second Ring Road. Xiao Churan took a lot of photos and also took a lot of group photos with Ye Chen. He seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

When they arrived at Houhai, although there was still ice on the surface, it had already begun to melt near the shore. Xiao Churan felt a little regretful. She sighed, "I have always wanted to play the traditional northern ice sled, but I never had the chance. Ye Chen, have you ever played it?"

Ye Chen shook his head: "I haven't played it either, but if you want to try it, we can come earlier next year, don't wait until the spring."

He didn't dare say that he had played with this thing. After all, the life story he told others was that he had been an orphan and wandered around since childhood, and then he was admitted to the Jinling Welfare Home.

How could an orphan from Jinling ever play with a sled in the north?

After all, in the cold and wet winter weather in Jinling, it is not easy for a dog to stand on the thin ice, let alone a person. Children who grew up in Jinling will not have the childhood memories of children in the north.

Xiao Churan was a little disappointed, but soon recovered as usual. She asked Ye Chen: "It's my birthday tomorrow. Do you want to find a good restaurant for lunch?"

"No thanks." Ye Chen said with a smile, "I'm not used to celebrating my birthday in a restaurant."

Xiao Churan said: "But I have to celebrate your birthday."

Ye Chen suggested: "Why don't we buy a cake and have it delivered to the hotel. After the show tonight, we can just eat the cake in the hotel room."

Xiao Churan thought about it, nodded and said, "That's fine. I've already ordered a cake from a very famous cake shop in Yanjing. I'll celebrate with you when I return to the hotel tomorrow!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, wife."

……

After returning to the hotel, the two washed up and lay on the bed. Xiao Churan waited for midnight to arrive and said happy birthday to Ye Chen in person, while Ye Chen lay on the bed with his thoughts flying.

In his ears, Gu Qiuyi's words would always ring inexplicably: "Unless you give me a son!"

He began to worry that after this concert, Gu Qiuyi would continue to argue with him about that issue.

Because after the concert, she will completely withdraw from the entertainment industry. At that time, she will no longer participate in any performances, record any songs, or accept any commercial cooperation, and will officially return to the life of an ordinary person.

By then, nothing can interfere with her life. If she mentions that she wants to get pregnant before marriage, how should I deal with it?

As I was sighing, the time came to midnight.

Xiao Churan leaned over, gently rested her head on his shoulder, and said, "Happy birthday, husband!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold her gently, and said softly: "Thank you, my wife."

Xiao Churan wanted to say something, but Ye Chen's phone started buzzing non-stop.

Dozens of WeChat messages were sent all at once.

Gu Qiuyi, Cai Caizi, Qin Aoxue, Wang Dongxue, Song Wanting, Su Ruoli, Su Zhiyu, Li Xiaofen, He Zhiqiu, Helena and other women sent him birthday wishes, and even Tawana sent a message on time.

In addition to them, the four-hundred-year-old Lin Wan'er also sent a message to Ye Chen, wishing him a happy birthday.

Others such as Hong Wu, Chen Zekai, Wan Pojun and the He family also sent their blessings.

What’s even more interesting is that even Steve Rothschild sent Ye Chen a long string of blessings.

The constant WeChat messages made Ye Chen feel a little embarrassed. He didn't dare to reply in front of Xiao Churan, so he could only put down his phone.

Xiao Churan asked him: "Husband, why don't you reply to the message?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Oh, these are all blessings from a group of customers, so I won't respond to them one by one. I'll just post them on WeChat Moments later and write a few words of thanks."

Xiao Churan smiled slightly and did not expose him, but asked him: "You are twenty-nine years old, do you have any wishes?"

"Wishes?" Ye Chen thought for a moment and smiled, "I haven't thought about it before, but when I think about it carefully, I have quite a lot of wishes."

Xiao Churan said: "You can think about it first and come up with the one you want to achieve the most. Then make it when you blow out the candles tonight. Birthday wishes will be easily fulfilled."

"Okay." Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

……

After a night's rest, the second day of February quickly arrived.

In Yanjing today, it was foggy outside in the early morning, and visibility was very low. Ye Chen looked down at the National Stadium from the window of the hotel. The entire venue, which was originally clearly visible, had now become hazy.

Not long after, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the phone kept ringing with notifications. Several news and weather apps reminded me that there would be a sudden heavy snowfall in Yanjing today, and it might turn into a blizzard.

Logically speaking, the temperature would rise after the first month of the lunar year, and it would be March in the Gregorian calendar, so the probability of snowfall in Yanjing would be very small. However, unexpectedly, a sudden heavy snowfall turned the entire city into a world covered in silver.

Xiao Churan felt much better when he saw the snow flying all over the sky. He sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and watched the snow fall intently.

However, the people rushing through the morning rush hour on the streets outside were not in such a good mood. The various vehicles on the road were stuck in a mess, and people were struggling to move forward in the snow with umbrellas. From time to time, people or bicycles would slip on the road.

The snow fell heavily across the university until evening.

The heavy snow finally stopped when Ye Chen and Xiao Churan started queuing up for ticket checking at the stadium.

The heavy snow has brought the city's traffic to the brink of paralysis, but it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of these fans. Tens of thousands of people have entered the venue one after another, causing the temperature of the entire venue to rise suddenly.

This time, Ye Chen and Xiao Churan got front-row tickets, which is also the hardest-to-get area at all concerts. Here, they can see the stars on the stage up close and experience the best.

Xiao Churan couldn't be happy at this moment. She kept looking at the time on her mobile phone. The performance would start on time at 7:30 in the evening, and there were still twenty minutes left. But she also knew that at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, she would have to cooperate with Tang Sihai and accidentally let Ye Chen see the news that he wanted Ye Chen to see. According to his plan, Ye Chen would immediately leave for Australia after seeing the news. This meant that she only had the last twelve hours left with Ye Chen.

At this moment, she felt like she was living her life by the seconds.

Thinking that there were only twelve hours left, and seeing Ye Chen beside her, Xiao Churan's emotions were a little out of control, and tears unconsciously slid down her cheeks again.

Seeing her tears, Ye Chen asked her with concern: "Wife, you...why are you crying again?"

In the past few days, Xiao Churan's mood has been unstable. Ye Chen originally noticed that something was wrong, but he was too stupid to guess the reason.

But at this moment, seeing Xiao Churan crying silently again, his heart suddenly ached, as if he had guessed something.

Looking at Ye Chen's concerned and nervous eyes, Xiao Churan's pain and grievance were instantly magnified by this concern. She could hardly control her urge to hug Ye Chen and cry. If she kept it in her heart like this, she was afraid that she would collapse.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, a girl next to me burst into tears.

Her boyfriend quickly held her in his arms and asked nervously, "Baby, what's wrong with you?"

The girl choked up and said, "I...when I think that this is Sister Qiuyi's last concert, I...I feel so sad! I can't imagine that she is leaving the entertainment industry at such a young age..."

As she spoke, the girl lost control of her emotions and burst into tears.

Only then did Ye Chen realize that the girls crying beside them were not just her and Xiao Churan. Many girls were like Xiao Churan, silently crying while looking at the empty stage.

Ye Chen also naturally thought that Xiao Churan's tears were shed because Gu Qiuyi was going to quit the entertainment industry.

So, he held Xiao Churan in his arms and comforted her, "Don't be sad, my dear. Even if Miss Gu retires from the music industry, her music can still be listened to online at any time. Many live concert videos can also be found online. And judging by the routines of those Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, she might make a comeback one day."

Xiao Churan was stunned when she heard this. She gave a bitter laugh, and her rationality gradually took over. She suppressed the impulse in her heart...
