CH 158
Your Rival in Love Gets Prettier Every Day
Chapter 158: The Golden Age!

On the stage of the Nancheng Arena, Shen Jintai pressed one hand to his ear as his body swayed to the music, looking extremely relaxed and confident. In actuality, he felt embarrassed, and his breath was unstable. Li Meilan stood under the stage and gave him a thumbs up.

If he wants to rest in the afternoon, heâll need to pick out the important content and arrange it this morning. This time, dancing and singing were separated, which works better for him so he wonât be constantly panting and unable to sing.

âGood?â He came down and asked Li Meilan.

âThatâs all we can do.â Li Melian felt that saying more would deflate Shen Jintaiâs self-confidence, so she added: âI think itâs enough. We didnât charge anything for this event and itâs mainly for the fans to see you!â

Shen Jintai was still worried, especially after he witness the whole process of Bai Qingquan depowdering with his own eyes. Not every fan was a little angel, and many have come from far away just to attend this event. If he performs too badly, they will be disappointed and angry.

If his stage skills werenât enough, he can only make it up with other aspects. He decided that every fan whoâs present would be given a small gift package. Souvenirs would be given during the event and after discussing it, everyone decided to add a snack package to it.

It happened that he had an endorsement with a highly popular national snack brand. Li Meilan immediately contacted the brand. Before she left, she turned back halfway and asked: âDo you want to add a bottle of milk as well?â

Shen Jintai also had a milk endorsement. Apart from his underwear endorsement, both these national brands were his only two non-high-luxury endorsements.

âLetâs give each person a rose.â Shen Jintai said.

âThatâs a good idea!â Li Meilan said.

Flowers have always been Shen Jintaiâs signature. Heâll be wearing a rose in his chest pocket during his performance so if a rose is distributed to every fan there, itâll be romantic and would make them very happy.

âWe are really losing money this time,â Xiao Tang said: âBrother Jin, take it easy and donât let it affect our year-end bonus!â

Shen Jintai laughed loudly and said: âI have already prepared all your red envelopes. When the event is over tonight, letâs go celebrate together and Iâll send them to you!â

At 6 PM, night had already fallen. The weather wasnât good, and it was extremely cold. Outside of Nancheng Arena was a scene of hustle and bustle as long lines wrapped around the entrances.

âIs this the largest birthday party in the entertainment industry? I heard that the stadium is nearly 30,000 people is full!â

âI saw the aerial photography just now. Itâs really amazing! Gold powders occupy about half the fan circle!â

âI want to go to the scene to watch it. Why donât you broadcast it live? Touhua will be on the stage again after a few years. To be honest, although he was bloody storm at the beginning, he really had the charm of the stage. He was harmed by the ghost animal Touhua Dance made by the black powder!â

âI heard that Shen Jintaiâs team emptied all flower the shops in Nancheng today. It seems heâs being very generous!â

âItâs true. My friend works for a flower shop. He said that he only wanted roses at the beginning. Later, except for the ones that other people had reserved, he bought all the flowers!â

âTouhua is really popular. This birthday has such a prosperous atmosphere!â

âThe LED screens of the whole city seem to have been covered in gold powder. It is said that they are going to send him a sea of gold all over the city tonight. There are so many gold powders and a lot of them are local tyrants fans!â

âSpeaking of local tyrants, isnât Shen Jintaiâs biggest local tyrant fan is Yan Qiuchi? Is he going to take advantage of this birthday to make a big wave?â

âWhy do I think the two of them will go public tonight?â

âNow fans generally have acquiesced, right? Maybe it will be made public at the birthday event, but I donât know if Prince Yan will be there.â

The gold powders thought this as well, especially when they saw that the staff at the entrance were handing out flowers. The arena was not only a sea of people, but also a sea of flowers. Golden light signs and glow sticks connected one by one like a flowing ocean.

The star-chasing experience this time was truly great. It was more lively than Chinese New Yearâs. Looking around, they were all people who were of the same. Everyone was like-minded and for the sake of their idol have gathered today. The sisters who used to chatter in the group chat now finally had the opportunity to meet in reality.

âWhere did you get this bracelet. I want it too!â

âWow, your poster is so beautiful!â

âHave you watched my brotherâs new movie⦠Yes, yes, my crying eyes are swollen now, look at my eyes!â

âSister Qianqian, I finally met you in person, Iâm Xiao Hui. I even put on makeup today!â

âWhen the meetingâs over, letâs go back together from Dongcheng and have dinner together? Okay, okay!â

The atmosphere in the arena was positive and enthusiastic full of people that spoke a common language and had the same interests!

Zheng Siqi was the first celebrity friend to arrive. When he entered the dressing room, he saw that Shen Jintai was already putting on makeup.

âHappy birthday.â Zheng Siqi said as he handed over a bouquet of flowers.

Shen Jintai took it and hugged him: âIâm too busy, so I wonât greet you.â

Zheng Siqi said: âXiao Bai will come later, and he asked me to tell you.â

When Zheng Siqi and Bai Qingquan went to the audience area accompanied by security guards, they caused a small commotion, but the bigger commotion was when Yan Qiuchi appeared.

âReally, really, is it Yan Qiuchi?!â

âIt must be, he is so tall!â

âSo handsome! Why is he so handsome in person?! He walks so manly!â

âIt wonât really be made public tonight, right? Wuwuwu. Iâm in a complicated mood.â

Li Meilan and others heard this commotion in the dressing room. Xiao Tang who was brushing the gold powder group laughed and said to Shen Jintai: âThe fans are all guessing that you will announce your relationship tonight.â

Shen Jintai: âWhat is their attitude?â

Xiao Tang: âMost of them are saying that itâs a pity for such a good cabbage*, ahahahaha!â

*The full saying is a good cabbage will make a pig arch. Itâs often used in a vulgar way and itâs a metaphor referring to a good thing have been ruined.

The video of Yan Qiuchiâs appearance at Shen Jintaiâs birthday party quickly circulated on the forum. In the dim light, Yan Qiuchi was wearing a black coat and a baseball cap. Accompanied by a group of friends, he entered the auditorium very low-key, exuding a very restrained luxurious aura. When regarding to handsome men, the more photos were taken, the more handsome they look.

âThe two of them are really worthy. The prince is young, handsome, and rich. He also has no messy love history. This brother-in-law is much more reliable than the other little flowers.â

âHahaha, have you automatically classified Shen Jintai as a little flower?â

âDidnât Weibo engage in a selection of our brother-in-law flower last time? Prince Yan ranked first. If Touhua is not a flower, who would dare to call it a flower?â

âNo way, Touhua is too popular. Heâs part of the young men selection and in the little flower competition.â

âThe nickname Touhua is really getting more pleasing to my ears. I wish Touhua and brother-in-law flower tie the knot tonight!â

The stage slowly rose to the sound of music, and the stadium of 30,000 people was surging with a like a tide of golden waves in an ocean. The moment Shen Jintai appeared on stage, waves of cheers and screams rushed towards him. The big screen cut to him and gave Shen Jintai a close-up. His eyes were clear, his lips were rosy, his teeth were white, and his eyes were slightly moist. He looked majestic and energetic and there was a red rose by his chest that was blooming brightly.

âI am like a moth drawn to the flame. Love and hate burn inside of me.â

As soon as Shen Jintai started singing, fans cried with excitement. The current Shen Jintai was completely different from the one three years ago. It was like an entirely different person, but the starlight in his body was even stronger. There were more fans and more of them were loyal. The mood was infectious as hearing the young sisters and brothers shouting his name until their voice became hoarse made the surrounding full of excitement.

âShen Jintai, Shen Jintai, Shen Jintaiâ¦â Waves of shouts blasted throughout the arena. Yan Qiuchi saw Shen Jintai smiling and bowing, and his eyes were red in that moment.

âAhhhhhhhhh,â Bai Qingquan waved his glowstick and said to Zheng Siqi: âIâm also a gold powder in this moment!â

He used to be a fake gold powder, hiding in the gold powder group, and doing undercover work. Now heâs truly a real gold powder as he sincerely shouted Shen Jintaiâs name.

When Yan Qiuchi heard this, he glanced back at him.  

Bai Qingquan smiled and patted Zheng Siqi: âLetâs go, itâs time for us to go on.â

The climax of the meeting was the theme song of accompanied by the shots of the three masters in . Three people appeared on the slowly rising platform. Shen Jintai stood in the middle while Zheng Siqi was on his left and Bai Qingquan was on his right.

The audience was boiling. The song was sung twice in total. Once when Shen Jintai sang it at the beginning and again with a three-person chorus. After singing, Shen Jintai took the microphone and said: âEverything started with . If there was no East Palace, there wouldnât be a me today. Where is Director Guo Rui and screenwriter Meng Xiaosheng?â

Guo Rui and Meng Xiaosheng appeared in the audience on the big screen. They stood up, smiled and waved. Song Wei, who played Empress Xiao, also came, as well as Changâanâs actor, Sun Chen.

âI donât need to introduce these two people on stage.â Shen Jintai said with a smile.

The fans answered for him, he smiled and raised his hand to signal to the left, and the fans shouted: âZheng Siqi!â

He raised his hand to signal to the right, and the fans shouted, âBai Qingquan!â

âThank you so much! But what I want to thank most of all is youâ¦â Shen Jintai burst into tears and gave a slight paused. The gold powders went crazy.

Shen Jintai smiled with tears in his eyes as he saw the scene casted on the big screen of smiles all around: âI donât know what to say. Just like the theme song we just sang, history does not leave my name, but I will remain a memory to you all. I think after many years, no one will remember my name, but I know that at least you will remember me. I am honored to be remembered by you, and I believe that no matter how many years or decades pass, everyone will remember that there is a month on the 29th which you spent with a person name Shen Jintai. Thank you! I wish to be with you forever and always!â

The big screen behind him suddenly showed a clip of Shen Jintai that was glamorous and wild on the stage of . He was dancing vigorously and had flirtatious eyes that ignited the heat of that summer. Following that shot was clips of with a black hair Li Xu running on the long palace road wearing a green robe that turned into a white hair Li Xu wearing a red robe. Then sound of surging music aired as a clip of Luo Wensheng slowly turned his head.

Finally, there is a video recorded by Shen Jintai. He looked directly at the camera, his eyes were bright and clear as he said: âHello everyone, I am the actor Shen Jintai.â

The author has something to say:

Ooooooooo!!

Bai Qingquan finally became a real gold powder.

The East Palace was the most important chapter in Shen Jintaiâs life, career, friendship, and love. This was all because of Bai Qingquan. (Bai Qingquan: My intention was to humiliate him!)

Remember and say goodbye to Shen Jintai in the past.

I wish to be with you forever and always.

Kinky Thoughts: Yesssss! Bai Qingquan has become a real gold powder!!! Forever and always!
