The livestream's popularity had multiplied several times over, and comments covered the entire screen.
[Aaaaah, Xingxing actually covered "My Secret"! That's a famous love song for confessing your feelings!]
[Oh my god, he's so insanely talented. That voice is truly one of a kind in the entire Chinese entertainment industry!]
[I want to hear it live too! Tickets to Xingxing's concerts cost four figures!]
[Is our Xingxing confessing to Shen Yanci from afar?! Aaaaah! I can't take it!]
[Sob, sob. You two have to stay together forever! I'll be waiting for the day you get married!]
More and more people were drawn over by his singing, surrounding the two of them in layer upon layer.
His singing transcended age, stirring something deep in everyone's hearts.
"This young lad sings so well!"
"Boohoo, he's making me think of my first love!"
"Wait, isn't that Song Yunxing? That big singing star!" Someone in the crowd pointed it out, and the onlookers immediately grew excited.
Seeing this, the nearby security guards quickly closed in to hold back the crowd.
"Please don't push. Only buy tangerines if you need them." The guards tried to calm the surging crowd.
Young people in Yu City who had seen the livestream also hurried over, standing outside the crowd and calling the young man's name nonstop.
By the time the song ended, the area was packed solid.
"Everyone, please don't push. Buy some if you need them, and once we've sold out, I'll sing another song for you," the young man said into the microphone.
The guards used barriers to separate the crowd and ensure people entered in an orderly fashion.
Song Yunxing immediately put down the microphone and went to stand beside Shen Yanci, lowering his voice. "Well? Pretty amazing, aren't I~?"
His brows lifted, his voice brimming with excitement he couldn't suppress.
They stood so close that Shen Yanci could even smell his distinctive scent.
"Not bad." Shen Yanci raised a brow slightly, an almost imperceptible smile in his eyes.
The young man clicked his tongue twice, but the moment he spotted their first customer, a smile sprang onto his face.
Shen Yanci glanced at him. The young man smiled warmly and brightly at everyone else, sweetly addressing every customer as an older brother or sister.
The man's eyes darkened slightly. This guy really could change his expression in an instant.
The huge crowd Song Yunxing had drawn over made the entire fresh food market livelier than ever.
The other guests benefited too, selling quite a few tangerines.
Quite a few people also passed Lu Yiyi and Luo An's stall, but all they had left were green, unripe tangerines, so everyone looked without buying.
Luo An had already resigned himself to it. He slumped in the truck, watching the show's livestream.
[Hahaha, someone please save poor Luo An.]
[Who could they sell these tangerines to? The best option is to deduct their cost from the profits.]
[Not necessarily. Someone might buy them later! Xingxing brought loads of people to this market.]
Lu Yiyi stared at the dense crowd around Song Yunxing's stall, resentment welling up inside her.
What was so special about a male Beta who had debuted in Kimchi Country? He wore hoodies and casual pants all day long. He must have come from some poor, shabby family!
She had been born the young lady of the Lu family. If her father hadn't stopped her from entering the entertainment industry too early, her achievements would be no worse than Song Yunxing's by now!
Lu Yiyi stood there sulking without a word.
Luo An seemed to sense something and looked up at her.
His fans all thought he would get up and comfort Lu Yiyi. Instead, he rolled over, shut his eyes, and went straight to sleep.
[Hahaha, being young is great. He can fall asleep the second he lies down.]
[Wait, didn't he notice Yiyi's in a bad mood?]
[He probably can't see Yiyi's expression from that angle.]
[Honestly, I feel like Luo An gives too much in this pairing, and Lu Yiyi doesn't really appreciate him.]
Lu Yiyi glanced back at Luo An, who wasn't bothering to maintain his image at all, then turned her head and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Why did Song Yunxing get to be with a top-quality Alpha man like Shen Yanci, while she had to promote a CP with this male Beta?
Lu Yiyi was seething, but with people and cameras all around her, she couldn't show her displeasure too openly.
The truckload of tangerines soon sold out. Once the final song ended, the two of them had completed their task.
Yet everyone still lingered in front of their stall, refusing to leave.
One after another, they asked for photos together and a few more song covers.
But filming was still underway, and holding up production for too long would count as a breach of contract!
"If you still need to buy tangerines, you can head to the temporary truck stalls nearby. Lu Ran and several other guests are still selling theirs." Song Yunxing put away the cash and payment QR code, then gave Shen Yanci a meaningful look.
Shen Yanci raised his brows, signaling that he understood.
They backed away in sync and, with several guards helping, broke through the layers of people surrounding them.
"Thank you all for your help! We have other things to do, so we'll be leaving now! Get home safely!" Song Yunxing wove through the bystanders.
"Xingxing! Don't go!"
"Aaaaah, Shen Yanci, my husband! Look at me!"
"Aaaaah! The Mutual-Dislike CP is real!"
People were packed shoulder to shoulder around them. Even running with all their might wouldn't get them out.
The cameraman was being badly jostled too, making the footage shake and blur.
[Holy shit, this is terrifying!]
[As a Xingxing fan, I can tell you this is normal. When he first came back to China, the airport was absolutely packed.]
[These are two top stars! I'd go crazy too!]
"Please calm down! Don't push! Be careful not to get hurt!" Song Yunxing shouted anxiously.
He struggled through the narrow passage the guards had cleared, doing his best to accept every fan's envelope.
Suddenly, someone grabbed his clothes. A cool draft hit his skin, and Song Yunxing jolted in alarm.
"Shen Yanci! Give me your autograph!" A stubble-faced middle-aged man with a rough voice grabbed the hem of his hoodie.
Startled, Song Yunxing instinctively tugged his clothes back. "I'm not Shen Yanci!"
The man was so strong that even pulling with all his strength couldn't free him.
"Oh, who cares whether you're Shen Yanci! You're a big star, right? Give me your autograph!" The man kept yanking at his clothes without a care, pulling the hoodie's hem badly out of shape.
"What are you doing?! Stop pulling on Xingxing!"
"Stop pushing! Stop pulling! Let them leave!"
Fans' voices rang out from every direction.
"Let go first, and I'll sign for you!" With his hoodie almost being pulled off, Song Yunxing anxiously tried to step back.
But the crowd surged around him, leaving him no room to retreat. The fabric of his poor hoodie stretched taut, as if it would rip apart at any second.
Suddenly, a shadow fell over him, enveloping him in a rich scent of liquor.
There was a barely audible crack of bone, and the middle-aged man cried out in pain and let go.
The stretched-out hem fell back against Song Yunxing's side. He looked up in astonishment.
The man who was always proud and languid, always measured in his actions, now wore an icy expression, his eyes like freezing pools.
"Sir! Your behavior constitutes serious harassment. We're still filming and have no time to give you an autograph. If you want one, you can come to my studio in person. I'll see to you myself!"
Heavy anger simmered beneath the man's voice. Though he wore a smile, it sent a chill down everyone's spine.
The middle-aged man was about to swear, but the instant he met that piercing gaze, his heart trembled, and he couldn't get a single word out.
Shaken by the dark, icy aura surrounding Shen Yanci, the people around them all took two steps back.
"We're leaving." The man firmly clasped his hand, his grip too strong to resist.
Amid the roar of the crowd, the two of them made their way through hand in hand.
