Chapter 341: The Powerful Singer Mo Fei

Just as night fell, the neon-lit Guangzhou looked exceptionally lively.

The winter in this city wasn’t particularly cold. Although it was already December, compared to Jiangcheng, the temperature of over ten degrees at night was considered quite warm.

Xixi finally didn’t have to dress up so warmly, no need for hats, gloves, sweaters, or woolen pants, just normal clothes. She wore an orange down jacket with a burgundy scarf, both stylish and sufficiently warm.

Moreover, she was being held in her father’s arms. Her father’s embrace gave her warmth and a sense of security. She excitedly hugged her father’s neck and looked around.

They were in line waiting for ticket inspection to enter.

This was Guangzhou Stadium, which could accommodate 50,000 spectators, including more than 2,000 VIP seats set up near the stage. This scale was much larger than Jiangcheng’s Red Square Music Hall. It was said that the concert tickets had been sold out a month ago, so even the VIP ticket inspection gate had a long queue. Fortunately, Yang Yi didn’t mind.

“Papa, there are so many people here!” Xixi excitedly looked around for a while before whispering in her father’s ear, “With so many people, how can we find Mama?”

“We don’t need to find her. We’ll watch from below. When your Mama goes on stage to sing, we’ll be able to see her!” Yang Yi whispered in Xixi’s ear.

“Really? Mama is going to sing? I really like listening to Mama sing!” Xixi’s eyes lit up, and she tugged at her scarf which was a bit uncomfortable since it wasn’t too hot.

“Yes, but you have to promise Papa that you won’t shout out loud then.” Yang Yi reached out to help his daughter tidy up her hair and said softly.

“Yes! I know I can’t let others know!” Xixi nodded sensibly and even raised a finger to make a hush gesture, but her eyes were full of smiles.

……

“No longer talking about the past, just making small talk, saying a word to you, just saying a word…”

Chen Yijie’s affectionate singing gradually faded on the stage.

However, the more than forty thousand enthusiastic fans in the audience didn’t make a sound, their glowsticks swaying quietly. It was like watching the night sky in the silent and uninhabited North Pole. Everyone was immersed in Chen Yijie’s singing.

They waited until Chen Yijie sang the final, low-pitched “Long time no see” before they clapped their hands amidst the ending music. Most of the people didn’t dare to disturb Chen Yijie’s still affectionate expression, but a few die-hard fans couldn’t help but shout “Eason”!

In the end, the applause and cheers all merged together, like an explosion after suppression!

This is Chen Yijie’s stage charisma. Yang Yi couldn’t help but applaud him.

“Thank you, everyone.” Chen Yijie thanked in Cantonese and repeated it in Mandarin.

“I’m going to change into another outfit, but don’t worry everyone. Today I invited a guest who sings beautifully and is also one of the hottest singers recently!” Before Chen Yijie finished speaking, some of the audience below had already shouted out Mo Fei’s name for him.

After all, this wasn’t a secret. Tianxiang and Tianmei had announced the news early on.

“That’s right, it’s Miss Mo Fei! Let’s all welcome her…” Chen Yijie smiled, raised his hand over his head, clapping, and then turned to look backstage.

Mo Fei, elegantly dressed, was slowly walking out and her image was already projected on the big screen.

“Ah! Mama! It’s Mama!”

Xixi, who was in the audience, exclaimed in surprise, but she quickly remembered her promise with her father. She lowered her voice and shook his father’s hand, eager to share this discovery with him.

The noise at the venue was quite loud, and it was really hard to hear without speaking loudly. Yang Yi glanced at the nearby audience and saw that they hadn’t noticed, so he felt relieved.

He lifted Xixi on his lap, lowered his head, and press his big face against her soft hair and said “Yes, it’s Mama. Your Mama is going to sing!”

Xixi nodded happily, excitedly waving the glow stick in her hand. Before, she just thought it was fun waving it around, but now Xixi was trying to attract her mother’s attention.

Leaving the audience aside, Mo Fei walked up to Chen Yijie on stage.

Chen Yijie politely made an inviting gesture, smiling as he introduced her to the fans below, “To be honest, I wasn’t familiar with Mo Fei before. Although I always knew there was a singer in the mainland with exceptional good voice and singing skills, and of course, Mo Fei is also very beautiful, but believe me, she definitely doesn’t follow the idol singer route. Just like me, she’s a powerful singer!”

This seemed a bit like a self-promotion!

Chen Yijie’s humorous remark indeed elicited laughter from the fans and warm applause for Mo Fei.

Mo Fei stood tall and graceful on the stage, like a snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains, quiet and elegant, but not cold and ruthless. She smiled gently, interacting with Chen Yijie with her expressions.

This was already quite rare!

“My intersection with Mo Fei is still because of Teacher Mu Li’ang. Not only did Teacher Mu Li’ang write ‘Long Time No See’ and ‘Better Not to Meet’ for me, but he also wrote many classic songs for Mo Fei. So believe me, during the time Mo Fei warms up the stage for me, her singing will not disappoint anyone. Everyone just needs to enjoy her heavenly voice!” Chen Yijie’s introduction piqued the interest of many fans who hadn’t paid much attention to Mo Fei before.

Mu Li’ang? Fans who liked Chen Yijie were now very familiar with this songwriter. What would a song he wrote for another singer be like?

“Eason, you’re overpraising me.” Mo Fei was a bit embarrassed by the compliments and couldn’t help but speak up.

“Not at all. By the way, Mo Fei, what kind of song did you bring us today?” Chen Yijie pretended not to know and asked with a smile.

“A new song from my new album, ‘Listen to the Sea’.” Mo Fei said, holding the microphone.

“Alright, the stage is yours!” Chen Yijie waved his hand gracefully and went backstage to change clothes through the rising platform that was spraying air.

On the big stage, besides the band in the background, there was only Mo Fei. With over 40,000 watching her, Mo Fei stood alone and quietly on the stage, appearing somewhat lonely and vulnerable.

Mo Fei was actually a bit nervous. It had been almost six years since she had stood on such a big stage, right? She had almost forgotten what it felt like to be in the spotlight!

However, as soon as the prelude of “Listen to the Sea” came in with its clean piano notes, Mo Fei immediately cast aside her slight nervousness. It seemed that the familiar feeling imprinted in her bones allowed Mo Fei to enter into singing mode.

The strings also began to join in, and this beautiful prelude made many of Chen Yijie’s fans quiet down and listen carefully.

“Write to me, what color is the sea today…” Mo Fei’s equally clean voice unveiled the prelude of this piece about the sea.

Her voice was really good!

Fans who liked Chen Yijie’s music were basically true music lovers. They didn’t superficially pay too much attention to Mo Fei’s fairy-like appearance. As soon as Mo Fei started singing, they already had their own assessment of Mo Fei’s voice.

This evaluation was not bad!

“Night after night with your sea, what’s your mood…”

If the first line was about showcasing her voice, then the second line was about Mo Fei showcasing her singing skills. Her clean and ethereal voice hit this high note beautifully and seamlessly.

Almost everyone heard this little high note, but most people overlooked the difficulty of this little high note because of Mo Fei’s singing skills. Perhaps anyone could sing a high note in this section, but singing a high note that sounds ordinary, going up smoothly, and then gradually coming back down, achieving such a seamless transition, there are probably very few who can do it!

“Where did such a powerful singer come from?” Many fans who were not familiar with Mo Fei now also had an interest in learning more about her.
