You Are a Free Bird

On the day of Luo Bingqing's concert, offline fans packed the stadium to capacity, while online platforms livestreamed the event across major apps.

The guest performers for Luo Bingqing's concert included not only Zhou Yi, but also two other singers, one male and one female, who were Luo Bingqing's good friends in the industry.

Zhou Yi and the other two guests were waiting in a room backstage for their turn to go on stage.

The male singer was named Song Ming, and the female singer was Li Yiyi. Both were rising stars of the new generation, considered among the more talented types of their young peers.

Coupled with their outstanding looks, they also enjoyed significant popularity.

Compared to popular singers without much skill, they were far more accomplished, hence their large fanbase and excellent reputation.

Both had heard of Zhou Yi for a while, and now that they were meeting him in person, they couldn't help but strike up a conversation with him.

Especially Li Yiyi. True to her name, she had a delicate, petite, and adorable appearance. She sang sweet love songs and had the nickname "Honey Peach," with her fans also calling her "Tao Tao" (Peach).

Her speaking voice was also sweet, and when she smiled, she revealed two small canine teeth. Her curiosity about Zhou Yi had started back when he founded Huanyu.

She was an avid internet surfer and was almost always aware of trending topics on social media. Even before Zhou Yi gained fame for singing rock, she had already become curious about him.

Of course, the most important factor was Zhou Yi's face.

Who doesn't like a handsome guy? She certainly did.

Later, seeing Zhou Yi perform rock almost mesmerized her. Both she and Luo Bingqing were fans of Zhou Yi.

However, unlike Luo Bingqing, who came from a powerful background and had a close friend like Kong Huaijin, Li Yiyi had no way to get to know Zhou Yi.

This time, upon learning that Luo Bingqing had managed to invite Zhou Yi, she was utterly impressed by Luo Bingqing.

With shining eyes, Li Yiyi took out a piece of paper and walked up to Zhou Yi, saying, "Teacher Zhou, my name is Li Yiyi. Could I possibly get your autograph?"

Li Yiyi's voice was exceptionally sweet, like that of a teenage girl. Zhou Yi naturally wouldn't refuse. He gave a slight smile, took the paper, and signed his name.

The handwriting looked fluid and effortless, carrying a sense of elegance between the lines.

Seeing Zhou Yi's signature, Li Yiyi secretly marveled inwardly. This young man really seemed to have no flaws. The closer you got, the more you discovered he had many unknown strengths.

"Teacher Zhou, could we also take a photo together? My fans really like you too."

"Sure."

Just then, Song Ming also came over. He smiled, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and said, "Can I join? I'd like a photo too."

Li Yiyi teased him, "Weren't you just pretending to be aloof over there? How come you came over on your own now?"

Song Ming awkwardly rubbed his nose and glanced apologetically at Zhou Yi, saying:

"Teacher Zhou's aura is too powerful. Sitting there alone, I was a bit afraid to go up and talk."

It wasn't an excuse. Zhou Yi had come in and sat down, seemingly dealing with some business matters, looking somewhat serious. How could Song Ming dare to disturb him?

Only someone with Li Yiyi's outgoing and fearless personality would approach. Seeing that Zhou Yi was actually very approachable, Song Ming then came over.

Zhou Yi smiled gently, "My apologies. I was still handling some company matters earlier, so I didn't initiate conversation. Sorry."

Zhou Yi had figured that since they were waiting anyway, he might as well get some work done. He had been reviewing some budget expenditures for the invested film "Dying to Survive" ("I'm Not the Medicine God").

He was quite serious when working, hence the serious appearance.

Song Ming, being sunny and cheerful by nature, also smiled. "No need to apologize, Teacher Zhou. You're a boss, you must have a lot to handle. We understand."

The three of them gathered in front of the camera and took a photo together.

Originally, Li Yiyi suggested that Zhou Yi stand in the center (C position), but Zhou Yi insisted on taking the center spot herself. Li Yiyi did not refuse.

Sandwiched between two handsome guys, she smiled until her eyes curved, her two little canine teeth giving her a mischievous and utterly adorable look.

Song Ming grinned, "Send me a copy of the photo too. I want to post it on Weibo."

Li Yiyi quickly looked at Zhou Yi, "Teacher Zhou, how about we add each other on WeChat? I'll send you a copy of the photo as well."

Zhou Yi knew she just wanted to add his contact, and didn't refuse. He added both Li Yiyi and Song Ming.

Both Li Yiyi and Song Ming posted on Weibo.

The caption Li Yiyi posted was very girly.

[Successfully met my idol! I'm swooning over Teacher Zhou's handsomeness, wuwuwu~ Today I'm just a little fangirl~]

In the photo, Zhou Yi looked incredibly handsome, but in a way completely different from his usual style.

This time, the makeup artist had given Zhou Yi the styling typical of idol stars in the entertainment industry. Even with makeup, it didn't look unnatural at all.

Some idols' facial features aren't strong enough, and makeup can make them look effeminate, but Zhou Yi had none of that.

This kind of makeup instead accentuated the depth and three-dimensionality of his features, as if adding a filter to each facial feature. The whole person was refined to a level comparable to plastic surgery templates.

He was wearing a white suit with a deep V-neck. When leaning down for the photo, the chest muscles inside were faintly visible.

Coincidentally, the suit was adorned with feathers, adding an ethereal quality. Especially when he took a photo with Li Yiyi, he smiled slightly with curved eyes, looking so gentle it was almost unbelievable, giving people a feeling of not daring to profane him.

Most of the comments below were also praising Zhou Yi's looks.

[Holy crap! A male celestial being? He could be packed off to star in a xianxia drama right away.]

[First time seeing Zhou Yi like this. He really can pull off any style.]

[Now I have a face for the male lead in novels. I can directly substitute him into so many book protagonists.]

[If he went to a talent show, wouldn't those boy band members be out of a job on the spot?]

[I! Can't! Believe it! No current idol can compete with this face! Has Zhou Yi really never considered entering the entertainment industry? This face was simply born for the big screen.]

[His face is even smaller than Yiyi's... Even Song Ming, a major hottie, looks overshadowed next to him.]

Song Ming's looks were enough to outshine many among singers, but this time he was truly overshadowed by Zhou Yi.

However, Song Ming had no intention of comparing himself to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi's face was among the top tier even within the entertainment industry.

After meeting Zhou Yi in person this time, he even felt that no one in the entertainment industry was more handsome than Zhou Yi.

After a while, a staff member came to fetch Song Ming; it was his turn to go on stage.

Then it was Li Yiyi's turn.

Zhou Yi was the final guest to appear.

When Zhou Yi walked to the backstage area, Luo Bingqing was just about to sing the song Zhou Yi had given her.

"The next song was gifted to me by my idol, Teacher Zhou Yi. It's called 'A Diao.' I hope you all like it."

At that moment, only a single spotlight shone on Luo Bingqing on stage.

She wore a white dress with white wings behind her, as if ready to spread her wings and soar.

She stood there quietly with her eyes closed, grasped the microphone, and began to sing.

The very first line stunned everyone.

[A Diao, living somewhere in Tibet.]

[Like a vulture, perching atop the mountain.]

...

[Even if I fall on the road, accept, banishment.]

[Confusion, freedom, just like the wind.]

[Blowing past rugged, uneven paths.]

[But I, still won't give up hope because of the pain.]

The wounds we bear grow into scars, blossoming into flowers of unparalleled beauty.

......

Fate is fraught with hardship, obsession, and resignation.

We bid farewell to youth, passing countless stations along the way.

Content with being ordinary, yet unwilling to be defeated in an ordinary way.

You are Adiao, you are a bird, free.

......
