Beijing International Concert Hall.
That morning, crowds surged at the main entrance.
Spectators lining up to enter in an orderly fashion, media reporters from all outlets, and people from all walks of life who had come to observe and learn.
The venue was buzzing.
"Welcome, everyone, to the second stage of the 2025 Dragon Qin Cup—the semifinals!"
The livestream had only just begun.
The two commentators had already taken their positions. One camera showed the concert hall entrance, while the other showed the commentators seated at their desk.
"Hello, everyone. We're the familiar 'Two Leaves Duo'! I'm Bamboo Leaf."
"I'm Maple Leaf."
"Today, we'll be bringing you commentary for this semifinal!"
The screen shifted.
It cut to the backstage entrance of the concert hall.
This was the entrance for contestants.
One contestant after another had begun arriving at the venue, carrying their cellos inside.
Holy crap! Brother Ze is here!
Very soon, sharp-eyed viewers watching the livestream spotted Bai Junze.
He stood out far too much.
Among all the contestants entering, he was the only one not wearing a suit or formal attire.
No—actually, he was wearing one!
That was, if one counted the floral shirt, casually knotted black tie, and black overcoat draped over his entire body as a suit.
Walking among the crowd like that, Bai Junze was so eye-catching that people noticed him instantly.
During the preliminaries, this outfit had once made viewers find him ridiculous and funny.
But after this guy's Blue Rhapsody, which had crackled with sparks and lightning onstage, he had completely conquered the audience!
This strange outfit, honestly.
The more they looked at it, the better it seemed!
In everyone's eyes, his entire aura had suddenly been artistically elevated!
Brother Ze's fashion is as wild and uninhibited as ever!
Hahaha, did you see?
