The Hangzhou China Flagship Store was buzzing with excitement!
The Lu Chen Live Streaming room on Whale TV was also going wild!
Chen Fei'er's appearance undoubtedly became the highlight of tonight's fan meet-and-greet promoting Lu Chen's new album. The surprise came so quickly, catching everyone completely off guard.
"Chen Fei'er! It's really Chen Fei'er!"
"Weird, I'm actually not surprised at all."
"Not surprised +1!"
"I remember last time on My Fei's birthday, My Chen was also in the audience pretending to be a fan!"
"Yeah, that's right! My Chen and My Fei really know how to play."
"Haha, they're definitely going to sing a love duet together!"
For a fan, the greatest joy is seeing their idol in person. But what could possibly be even more exhilarating? Seeing two idols together!
Tonight, the fans gathered at the China Flagship Store were undoubtedly fortunate. Not only did they witness Lu Chen's talent and charisma firsthand, but they also got a surprise appearance from a Heavenly Queen of the music industry / days later.
"Chen Fei'er! Chen Fei'er!"
Amidst the roaring cheers of the crowd, Chen Fei'er gracefully walked onto the stage and accepted the microphone from a staff member.
She first embraced Lu Chen, eliciting a fresh wave of cheers and teasing from the audience.
Lu Chen laughed, "You really had me fooled!"
This line, straight out of an 8 PM melodramatic soap opera, sent many fans into fits of laughter.
Chen Fei'er smirked. "That's called 'fighting fire with fire.' I've been waiting to use that on you!"
Their eyes locked, as if no one else existed in the world.
This public display of affection felt like a deep malice to the single fans both at the event and in the LiveStreaming chatroom—it was almost unbearable to watch!
Fortunately, Chen Fei'er, ever mindful of the audience's feelings, turned to them and said, "Tonight, I'm also a fan of Lu Chen. Which of his songs should I sing?"
"Your Eyes!" "The Most Romantic Thing!"
The audience erupted in a tidal wave of responses, fans clamoring with their favorite song titles.
Chen Fei'er listened quietly for a moment, then smiled. "How about this? Lu Chen and I will sing a duet together. What do you think?"
"Yes!"
The fans, of course, roared their approval.
Chen Fei'er turned back to Lu Chen and said, "Then let's sing 'Because of Love'."
Lu Chen nodded.
He had performed "Because of Love" once on a radio show, but this song was a romantic duet between a man and a woman. The two had never performed it publicly before.
Today was the first time.
The only accompanying instrument, nevertheless, was the guitar in Lu Chen's hands.
He gently strummed the strings, playing the intro. Facing the person he loved most, his voice seemed to flow from the depths of his heart: "Here's an old CD for you, listen to the way we loved back then. Sometimes I suddenly forget that I still love you."
Chen Fei'er looked radiant tonight. As always, she wore minimal makeup, the simple, natural look making her radiance shine even brighter under the stage lights. A long, plain white dress accentuated her perfect figure.
She met Lu Chen's gaze, her starry eyes brimming with deep affection: "I can never sing songs like that again. I blush and turn away whenever I hear them. Though I often forget, I still love you."
Although this song hadn't been officially recorded as a single—Chen Fei'er had only practiced it a few times with Lu Chen after receiving the sheet music—their performance on stage felt as polished as if they had rehearsed it countless times. There was a seamless chemistry and perfect harmony between them, captivating the hundreds in the audience and the millions watching online.
It was the kind of unspoken understanding that only true lovers share.
The guitar accompaniment faded to almost nothing, allowing Lu Chen's deep, warm voice and Chen Fei'er's ethereal, delicate tones to blend seamlessly, complementing and enhancing each other. The audience heard the purest, most essential form of musical expression.
The hall fell into complete silence. Many fans even held their breath, afraid that the slightest noise might break the atmosphere. Their eyes remained fixed on Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er on stage, unblinking.
It felt like a pilgrimage.
Words are the voice of the heart, and songs are the expression of one's will. True classics need no elaborate embellishment; what truly moves people are emotions—those sincere, fervent, profound, and restrained feelings.
"...I'm still in love with you."
As the final harmony faded, complete silence descended upon the hall.
Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er exchanged a knowing smile. Everything was understood without a word!
Barely a moment passed before thunderous applause erupted. The entire audience surged to their feet, clapping vigorously and cheering wildly, shouting the names of Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er. The deafening roar threatened to shatter the glass panels lining the hall.
The atmosphere in the venue reached its peak!
At that very moment, the online viewership of Lu Chen's livestream on Whale TV had surged past 3 million, setting a new record for the platform.
The Whale TV executives must have been grinning from ear to ear. The promotional impact of this joint live performance by Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er was worth millions in marketing expenses.
Carrier-class virtual gifts flooded the screen, completely obscuring it. The sheer volume of chat messages and virtual gifts overwhelmed Whale TV's servers, causing brief lags and glitches.
This vividly demonstrated the immense popularity of Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er.
After what seemed like an eternity, the hall finally quieted down.
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, "It's time to make a wish!"
The audience erupted in laughter.
The first two fans chosen to sing on stage had each made a small wish to Lu Chen, and both wishes had come true.
Now it was Chen Fei'er's turn, which made things even more interesting.
"Make a wish!" "Make a wish!" "Make a wish!"
Many fans, eager to stir up trouble, immediately joined in the chant, quickly building a deafening roar.
Chen Fei'er smiled. "Since everyone's so enthusiastic, I'll ask Lu Chen for a small wish. What do you think I should make him do?"
The fans immediately erupted with suggestions, some shouting "Give her a kiss!" while others yelled "Propose to her!"
Very few of the suggestions were even remotely sensible.
Chen Fei'er, of course, had no intention of taking their absurd ideas seriously. After a moment's thought, she said, "I want... I wish..."
The Heavenly Queen of the music industry paused dramatically, teasing the crowd and building anticipation.
After pretending to ponder seriously for a moment, she turned to Lu Chen and said, "Just sing a song!"
"Aww!"
A collective sigh of disappointment rippled through the venue—how boring!
Chen Fei'er quickly added with a smile, "But it has to be a brand-new song that no one has ever heard before!"
A new song? Now that's more like it!
