The Charity Show Family
Edited by: Larkspur
“Film Emperor Qin! Film Emperor Qin! Where are you?”
“Film Emperor Qin! Film Emperor Qin! We love you!”
“Su Yanyi! Su Yanyi! Please come!”
“Su Yanyi! Su Yanyi! We are waiting for you!”
“Please come together, Film Emperor and the Queen! Please show off your love!”
“If the Queen isn’t here, we won’t go!”
A variety of calls and cheers rang. Several forums on Weibo were led by famous fans. A host of catchphrases passed along and there was this neat and organized chanting now.
Backstage.
Within Qin Jiran’s personal lounge, Su Yanyi sat silently. She seemed to find the rise and fall in chanting interesting.
“This is how it feels to be an idol?” Su Yanyi smiled.
“If Yanyi is willing to be a star, many people will welcome you.” In Qin Jiran’s eyes, everything about Su Yanyi was naturally good. If she really were to enter the entertainment circle and became a celebrity, she would be better than all the current actors.
“Be a celebrity and act like a Queen?” Su Yanyi joked.
However, her temperament changed. She immediately switched to an overbearing manner. She emanated type of elegance and nobility that couldn’t be described. She really acted like a Queen.
“There is no need to act like one because you are one.”
In Qin Jiran’s heart, Su Yanyi was a Queen. Who lets this woman act akin to a Queen, despite her status or imposing manner?
“What? In your heart, I’m also a Queen?”
She had asked Kang Zhong about this before. He had given her a definite answer. At that time, she had wanted to ask Qin Jiran. Now that they were on this topic, she inquired.
“Fully deserving of the title!” Qin Jiran exclaimed with more certainty than Kang Zhong. It contained a glimpse of feverish. He liked how Su Yanyi acted high and mighty and admired as well as respected her for this.
Seeing the man’s serious and cautious look, Su Yanyi slightly raised her eyebrows. She stood in front of the man, looking down: “Am I your Queen?”
‘Queen’ and ‘your Queen’ had two different meanings. The special title was like a spell, luring Qin Jiran to fall into. No, he had already fallen into this!
“Of course!” Qin Jiran tilted his head to look at Su Yanyi, thinking this was a perfect angle.
Su Yanyi smiled. She sat by Qin Jiran’s side, finding a magazine to browse.
Qin Jiran stopped talking too and continued to look at his files. However, he would steal a glance at Su Yanyi from time to time. This went on until the charity show began.
The hosts that the Long Media had invited, were a pair of extremely famous people. They’re the “big brother” and “big sister” of the ‘hosting-world.’ Naturally, this was due to Su Yanyi’s influence that there even was a big sister. Originally, there was only a big brother. In reality, that was not the only change. Because the show doubled as the opening ceremony for the foundation, the entire scope of the charity show expanded by twofold. This led the audience to believe that there was value for their money.
Once the hosts appeared, the audience began to cheer and call. The two began by teasing one another. Then, they introduced the schedule for the charity show.
“…Nannan, do you know who the most popular guest of this charity show is?” The big brother, Xu Qingyun, asked the big sister, Xiang Nan.
“Brother Yun, you shouldn’t be asking me this. You should ask the audience, hear who they came for. Audience, tell me your idol’s name. Let us hear who’s the most popular guest!” Xiang Nan was great at hyping up the mood. She passed the microphone over and the fans immediately started yelling.
“Qin Jiran! Qin Jiran! We are here to see Film Emperor!”
“Queen Su! Queen Su! We are here to see the Film Emperor and the Queen together!”
Although the fans called out different names, the most was for Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi. Then, it was unsure if it were the fans’ spell, but the fans called out the two names combined. One side would holler Qin Jiran first, while the other would follow with Su Yanyi. Then, everyone would holler for them to come together. It was all very well-coordinated. People found this shocking yet amusing.
These were hollers from a couple of thousands of people that reached even places afar.
“Ok. Ok. We all know. Speaking of the fans now, they have a lot of requests. Not only do they want to see the Film Emperor who is definitely attending, but also President Su? President Su isn’t that easy to be seen. But…” Just as Xiang Nan said, ‘not that easy to be seen,’ the audience let out regretful sighs and protests. As soon as the voices died down, the audience began to cheer again when they heard ‘but.’
“Haha. Nannan, do you dare to continue? If the audience is disappointed, you will be flooded by their saliva.” Xu Qingyun laughed on the side.
“This…I’m going to keep it a secret for now. Will the Queen come? Haha, seeing so many fans calling out for President Su as the Queen, I also think this title very much suits President Su. President Su, do you agree?” Xiang Nan smiled happily.
Being Long Media’s host, Su Yanyi was considered to be her half-boss. She, naturally, had to praise her.
Hearing Xiang Nan, Xu Qingyun immediately cooperated: “President Su? Where is President Su? Is she really here?”
“She’s really here? Is she or isn’t she? Haha. Audience, don’t worry too much. Take a look at our performances first. You guys will find out later…”
The performances started but left the audience in some suspense. However, they weren’t stupid. Upon hearing the hostess’ words, they could guess that Su Yanyi was probably present. They just had no idea when she would appear and with what status. Thinking about this, they began to get excited and looked forward to it.
Woman, an extremely beautiful woman with an extraordinary background. Not only did she have these achievements at such a young age, but also became the wife of the Film Emperor. All these accomplishments comprised a legendary type of aura. At the same time that people admired her, they were also curious. What type of elegant demeanor would this woman possess?
The person who was responsible for the first performance was of a Tianhou¹ rank. She was also a performing artiste under Resplendent’s name. The song 《Come on, everybody 》was great at pumping up the atmosphere and lifting the spirits of those present.
Besides singing, there were magic shows and plays. There were obviously dances and songs as well. After an hour or more had passed, the audience was fully immersed in the performances. However, they didn’t forget their original motive. Every time there was an intermission and the hosts came out, they would holler their idols’ names. Amongst this, Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi’s names were the loudest.
The host responded a couple of times with different answers. Although the fans were a little disappointed, they still looked forward to this. Up until the end of the charity show, the fans were more and more anxious. However, they knew that this Film Emperor Qin was last to appear.
As expected, Film Emperor Qin appeared at the end. He came out wearing a pure black suit, with an icy aura surrounding him. With that nobility and respect, the audience cheered for him in just moments of his appearance.
“Film Emperor! Film Emperor! Film Emperor!” The fans called out his name in unison. Fully deserving, ‘Film Emperor’ was the most prideful title for Qin Jiran.
After calling out ‘Film Emperor,’ there was a group of fans who started to call out for the ‘Queen’ out of nowhere. Plus, it seemed contagious. More and more people hollered for the Queen!
“Queen! Queen! Queen!” They were so enthusiastic, arousing Qin Jiran’s feeling of glory and honor.
Qin Jiran only waved his hand, greeting the audience. Yet, in a way, he seemed magical. The chanting stopped immediately.
“Very thankful to everyone who made it. Yanyi will be coming shortly. Let me sing 《Natural Law》to you guys. Hopefully, you guys will like it!” Qin Jiran’s voice rang across the whole stage. His charm intoxicated people. They all looked forward to his voice.
Without much ado, the music rang. He sanga memorable song.
“If heaven has an age, it will become old too. Nothing can be stable forever. If I sink in this world, I can only laugh at the worldly affairs and act freely…” This was a classical song. A few lines of the song were quoted from the classics which appealed to its audience. Qin Jiran had a deep voice and didn’t change the timbre that much. However, his voice lingered in the hearts of those who heard it.
Towards the end of the song, Su Yanyi slowly walked out from the backstage. She held a bamboo flute in her hand and began playing the instrument, following the rhythm of the song. At this moment, their eyes brightened at the duo on the stage.
