After entering the backstage, Ye Qingning took a deep breath, his face calm. Except for Ji Huaiyu and her family, almost no one saw her fragile or nervous side.
In front of these people, she is always strong, firm, confident, and invincible.
"Here?" Ye Qingning was taken to Han Qingqiu's dressing room by the staff, where the makeup artist was styling his hair.
"Yeah." Ye Qingning put the violin next to him, and someone soon brought a glass of water.
"It hasn't officially started yet. I'll take you through the process in a moment. Although I say I won't show up, I'm still in front of the stage. Are you okay?"
"Can."
Han Qingqiu nodded and said nothing more. The dressing room was quiet except for the sound of the makeup artist spraying glue. Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the somewhat silent atmosphere.
"Ye, you came first." The visitors were Qi Le and Bai Lu.
Ye Qingning was a little surprised and stood up. "Director Qi, Bailu, are you here too?"
"Yeah, the concert hasn't even started yet, so we'll go backstage to see how you're preparing and how you feel. Are you nervous? You're going to face tens of thousands of female fans later. Be careful of them bombing you."
Qi Le rarely joked with Ye Qingning.
"Qi Le, please don't frighten my guests later, and don't blame me for beating you up if you screw up my performance." Han Qingqiu didn't even turn his head this way.
Qi Le smiled at Ye Qingning and walked towards Han Qingqiu. The two chatted about something.
"Ning Ning, don't listen to Director Qi's words, he is scaring you." Ye Qingning had not seen Egret for a while, and Ye Qingning obviously felt that Egret had become calmer.
She shook her head, "I know, I'm fine."
"That's good."
With the arrival of an acquaintance, the atmosphere was finally not too awkward. Han Qingqiu sometimes looked at her with an inquiring expression, and Ye Qingning just pretended that he couldn't see her and talked to Bailu.
After Han Qingqiu went through the process for her, the concert officially began.
Looking at the audience who enthusiastically shouted for Han Qingqiu on the small screen, even though Ye Qingning was mentally prepared, he was also shocked. This was the first time she felt his popularity for the first time.
She rubbed her palms and the camera flashed by, but Ye Qingning still caught a glimpse of that reassuring figure.
She took a deep breath and sat on a small stool with her violin next to her.
"Are you ready?" Han Qingqiu asked.
"Ready." Ye Qingning picked up her violin.
"Let's go." Han Qingqiu patted Ye Qingning's shoulder and pushed her gently.
The lights dimmed, and Ye Qingning, dressed in a long skirt and a peaked cap, became the center of the stage, and the originally noisy environment became quiet.
Ye Qingning set up the violin and closed his eyes. She raised one arm, the bow string fell, and a low-key and soothing melody sounded, slowly, faster and faster, and faster and faster. At the climax, the melody stopped.
There was a 'pop' sound, and the light came on on the other side. After Han Qingqiu hummed a melody, the sound of Ye Qingning's piano sounded again, blending wonderfully with Han Qingqiu's voice.
After the song ended, the atmosphere reached a climax, and the opening ended beautifully. Just when everyone thought Q's identity was about to be revealed, Ye Qingning slowly stepped down from the stage under the influence of the elevator.
Before anyone in the audience could react, Han Qingqiu had already started the second song. After all, it was Han Qingqiu's home court, and everyone quickly became excited with the atmosphere. Leo was among them and waved along, looking more excited than the fans, without his usual eccentric character.
Ji Huaiyu didn't express anything, and watched the video recorded on his mobile phone several times.
Ye Qingning's next appearance was in the second half, a duet with Han Qingqiu. Ye Qingning breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of water, silently watching this unique concert backstage.
"Everyone must be curious about who Q is, right?" Seeing Han Qingqiu in the cue process, Ye Qingning cleared his throat and moved his body.
"Curious." They are all fans, so naturally they give me face, and there are also many people sneaking in to seek first-hand revelations.
"But I don't know who Q is, what should I do?"
As expected, there was a lot of bragging below. They are all their own fans, and their ability to fight against the real ones is a bit stronger than those of the negative fans.
"But unfortunately, for some reasons, Q really cannot show his face."
As soon as the words came out, the people below all said "Eh~", a little disappointed. Han Qingqiu took his time and sat on the chair brought by the staff, crossing his legs like an elegant nobleman.
"Are you here for me or Q? If you want people to look good, are you all ready to climb the wall?"
"yes!"
Han Qingqiu laughed suddenly. If he looked carefully, he actually looked like Ye Qingning.
"Then I can't let her show her face. It doesn't matter if she sings well. If she looks good, then I'll be very embarrassed."
"Qingqiu Qingqiu, Qingqiu Qingqiu." The fans below began to shout slogans.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost finished, Han Qingqiu motioned for everyone to quiet down. He put his guitar on his back and gently strummed a chord. The surrounding lights slowly dimmed, and a clear female voice floated out, with a gentle and lingering tone,
The lift platform slowly rose again. Ye Qingning appeared in the public eye again.
Han Qingqiu glanced at her, then looked away, stroking the guitar with his slender fingers, which was pleasing to the eye.
Ye Qingning sat upright, like an obedient child in class, but his voice did not tremble at all. The melodious tunes and clear female voice echoed in the venue, which was a bit more poignant than listening to headphones.
This song was written for the fans on the fifth anniversary of Han Qingqiu's debut. At this moment, Ye Qingning is not only a chorus singer, but also a representative of thousands of fans.
Her tone is soft and gentle, just like a fan who has silently accompanied Han Qingqiu to the present, watching him grow step by step, watching him slowly become stronger.
Many fans put themselves in the shoes of Ye Qingning and burst into tears.
After the song ended, the two of them bowed, and the change happened at this moment. When the camera zoomed in, Han Qingqiu stood up first, and his guitar knocked off Ye Qingning's hat.
Fans who were still immersed in the sad atmosphere were also shocked by this horse-grabbing aspect.
"Qin Zimo! Is that Ning Ning?" Tang Tang opened his mouth slightly, with a small face full of surprise.
"If we are not presbyopic, then we are!" Qin Zimo also didn't react.
The two looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
"Ji, would you rather she...Ji?" Leo turned his head and looked to his side, but the person beside him had already disappeared.
On the stage, Ye Qingning picked up his hat and put it on almost immediately, and Han Qingqiu also immediately stood in front of Ye Qingning.
Both of them reacted very quickly, but when they bowed, there was a close-up shot, and their faces were clearly projected on the big screen. Although it was only a moment, it was still recorded by the paparazzi who never slacked off and the fans who accidentally videoed it.
"Sorry, you should leave before the media news comes out." Han Qingqiu covered the phone.
Ye Qingning nodded, grabbed his hat and got off the stage.
The concert was not over yet, so Han Qingqiu could only continue to maintain the overall situation.
"It was my mistake this time. I didn't expect to reveal Q's true identity to everyone. Everyone is so restless now. Are they really climbing the wall?"
"Although, tickets cannot be refunded. Why don't you wait until the concert is over before climbing the wall?"
Han Qingqiu was also used to big scenes, and he quickly maintained the scene. Bailu and Qi Le breathed a sigh of relief in the audience, acting as the atmosphere team to get the scene back on track.
Ye Qingning didn't look very good when he got off the stage, but he politely said goodbye to the staff and walked out of the backstage with his violin on his back. She was a little anxious, and accidentally threw herself into a familiar embrace.
"Aning."
The familiar voice made Ye Qingning calm down quickly.
She nestled in Ji Huaiyu's arms and said softly.
"Afraid?"
The girl shook her head, "I'm just not ready yet."
She admitted that she flinched a little when she saw so many fans of Han Qingqiu.
No matter how much she doesn't read online comments, she still knows a lot of things with Tang Tang by her side. For example, any celebrity who gets closer to Han Qingqiu will be scolded.
"Just go ahead and do it. Don't look at your phone tonight. Go back and take a shower and have a good sleep. The weather will be nice tomorrow."
Ji Huaiyu touched her head, and his deep voice made her feel particularly safe in the silent night.
"good."
She trusted the man in front of her unconditionally.
