Chatting with fans online was never work or a burden for Lu Chen, it was pure relaxation.
At the same time, he was answering questions. Unlike interviews with reporters, there were no microphones shoved in his face, no recording devices hovering near, no long lenses or cameras scrutinizing his every move.
Lu Chen could choose which questions he wanted to answer, ignore the malicious comments, and speak freely without pressure.
Of course, chatting often ended with him picking up the guitar to play a few songs.
Tonight, Lu Chen was in an exceptionally good mood. He told fans to request any song, they could pick anything from his own works, and he would sing it. Straightforward and generous!
Fans were ecstatic. The flood of Fish Balls, Whale TV's virtual gifts, exploded geometrically. Just the largest "carrier" gifts alone exceeded a hundred ships. The live stream room looked spectacular.
Strumming and singing, Lu Chen felt like he had returned to his early days hustling on Whale TV. Nostalgia washed over him.
"This time, it rocks and rocks; this moment, it turns and turns!"
Perhaps the song Ballad of Time best expressed his mood right now.
In less than a year, so much had changed. He couldn't help asking himself: is this what I truly wanted?
The answer was certain: yes.
Time passed unnoticed as he sang and chatted, until a cup of coffee placed on the table brought him back to reality.
Lu Chen turned to see Chen Fei'er standing beside his desk.
She opened her mouth silently and said, "Drink it while it's hot."
Earlier in the bedroom, Chen Fei'er had been engrossed in the script for almost two hours, completely absorbed.
The noise outside finally snapped her out of it.
She quickly got dressed and ran to the study adjacent to the master bedroom to make Lu Chen a cup of coffee.
Lu Chen nodded, lifted the cup, and took a sip, delicious.
And this scene was witnessed by over a million fans!
Although the camera view couldn't show Chen Fei'er's full face, the hand offering the coffee and a partial side profile were clearly visible. The live stream exploded.
"Wow, who's bringing Lu Chen coffee?"
"Based on my 25 years of life experience, that's definitely a girl, and a beautiful one at that!"
"Need the truth!"
"Breaking news: it's already past 10 PM, and a mysterious woman has appeared beside Lu Chen!"
"Hehe, I bet it's Chen Fei'er, what do you think?"
"I guess it's Lu Chen's sister!"
"Chen Fei'er!"
Fans stopped asking questions or requesting songs; all attention was now on the mysterious woman appearing beside Lu Chen. The comment barrage reached a terrifying scale.
Lu Chen didn't know what to say, so he simply said to Chen Fei'er: "Say hello to everyone."
Their relationship was already public, and they had shown affection before, no need for secrecy.
However, appearing together in a live stream from home was a first.
There's always a first time, isn't there?
Chen Fei'er smiled softly, leaned slightly toward the camera, and waved. "Hello everyone, I'm Chen Fei'er."
Before coming out, she had anticipated being seen on the live stream, so she had deliberately changed into a long dress.
Lu Chen asking her to greet the fans made her heart flutter.
Her smile was exceptionally sweet.
Boom!
The live stream erupted. The impact was like dropping a megaton-class nuclear bomb!
It was really Chen Fei'er! Everyone knew Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er were dating. Cohabitation wasn't unusual, but seeing her appear so openly, confirming that they lived together, was astonishing.
In the entertainment industry, even public couples often avoid revealing cohabitation, since breakups are common and living together before marriage can be awkward.
Chen Fei'er's composure showed the strength and sincerity of her relationship with Lu Chen.
For the fans, tonight was an unforgettable surprise night.'
"Wow, it's really Chen Fei'er!"
"Sis Fei'er, I love you!"
"This single dog just suffered 10,000 points of severe damage. Farewell, everyone, no need for resuscitation."
"Here they go, shamelessly showing off their love again… I can't watch this! AaahhhAahh!"
"Chen Fei'er, sing a song together with Lu Chen!"
"Yes, sing! A couple's duet!"
"+1 for singing!"
Seeing the overwhelming excitement, Chen Fei'er's eyes curved in a smile. After a moment's thought, she said, "Since everyone wants to hear it, I'll sing a song for you all, it's a new song!"
"Long live!"
"Everyone, stop shouting and listen carefully."
"So excited, so excited!"
"Supporting the new song!"
Fans erupted once more, showering Fish Balls like a torrential downpour. Carrier-level gifts sailed majestically across the screen.
In just a few minutes, the number of props Chen Fei'er received after appearing surpassed the total Lu Chen had collected over two hours earlier. Breaking Whale TV's record was probably no problem.
Chen Fei'er took the guitar from Lu Chen, gently nudging him aside, and sat down with it herself.
Though she had little experience with online live streaming, she appeared completely at ease before the microphone and camera, smiling as she said:
"This song is from my new album. I haven't performed it publicly before. It was also composed by Mr. Lu Chen for me. I hope everyone likes it. Thank you!"
"The title of this song is I Crossed the Ocean to See You!"
As soon as she spoke, Chen Fei'er lightly strummed the strings, starting the intro.
She was never a folk or vagabond-style singer, and rarely performed with a guitar. But that didn't mean her guitar skills were lacking, on the contrary, her fingerpicking was very skillful.
*"For you, I used half a year's savings,
Sailing across the ocean to see you.
For this meeting,
I even practiced my breathing
For the moment we meet.
Words have never expressed my feelings,
Not even a millionth part.
For this regret,
I've thought over and over in the night, refusing to sleep.
Memories accumulate slowly,
Impossible to erase from my heart.
For your promise,
Even in my darkest despair,
I held back my tears!
…"*
The guitar and her voice spread softly through the room, like moonlight spilling across the night sky.
It was intoxicating.
