Chapter Seventy-One: Another Concert

ration and satisfaction that could not be concealed. In her heart, she couldn't help but feel a fondness for this boy.It wasn't until after the contact that I realized how important this role change..."Ah ah…" As soon as these words were spoken, the audience below immediately became excited. Waves of astonished cheers rose and fell, the intense joy converging into a force that seemed to make their glowing sticks wave faster. 。Though it was hard to see from afar, Ji Jingyuan, who was sitting in the front row closest to the stage, could clearly see that the audience reacted excitedly to the news. Some even jumped up in their seats. It was clear they were very interested in the title track of their upcoming single album, which hasn't been released yet. 。

Announcing the trailer for "boywithlove" at the beginning was naturally a pre-arranged plan to raise fans' emotions and expectations.

“Then, let’s all go and check out the stage…” “YES!” Seeing the audience's happy faces, Ji-seong also smiled and gave a thumbs up. The lights gradually dimmed, and when they lit up again after a few seconds, the lift that had been raised earlier had come down. The nine members of Exo stood on the six-pointed star pattern facing all directions. At the same time, a melodious accompaniment sounded, and the familiar and touching melody of "Butterfly Girl" surrounded the stage and flew into the distance. 。With a flutter of little wings, you hold my attention. 。It's like it was beckoning me to follow you. 。Each member stood at a corner facing the audience in different directions, making hand gestures and dancing to the simple choreography for this song. 。"

The song 'Butterfly Girl' is really a song that Ailee loves very much, it's the kind of song that will make your heart skip a beat every time you hear it, and it holds a very important place in fans' hearts.

" 。"Take me with you, take me to where you live" 。Even if it's the end of the world, I will follow you. 。The delicate melody itself is already enchanting, and within these vivid and evocative lyrics, each girl seems to find her own archetype in the butterfly maiden depicted in the song. It's as if they themselves are the butterflies who never leave the side of the boys on stage as they slowly ascend on the lift. 。As they listened, a wave of warmth flooded some fans' hearts. Their pupils reflected the stage lights, as if they wanted to imprint them onto their souls. 。

After two years, Exo's first full-length album "xoxo" now holds a very special place in the hearts of all fans. Many fans even directly gave this album the title of 'god album', and its evaluation and reputation after entering the music scene is also very good.

The main reason is that the regular album "xoxo" has two versions. Besides the hit song "Roar," which became Exo's most representative signature song, many of the included songs on the album are also of very high quality. Songs like "Butterfly Girl," "bckpearl," "Baby, Don't Cry," and "Peter Pan" are all well-produced and sound great. The entire album can be listened to on repeat for a long time and has been very popular with both fans and the general public. 。Even though Exo had a much wider selection of songs for this second round of their tour, they still included some tracks from their first album. One such song is "Butterfly Girl." Its gentle melody didn't diminish the excitement built up by "Kingdom," but instead allowed the audience to relax slightly while feeling more immersed in the concert atmosphere. Many people swayed their glowing sticks in unison while softly humming along. 。"

“woo-hoo-hoo~~~woo-hoo-hoo~~~woo-hoo-hoo~~~” When it got to this point, the sound effects caused a chorus from the entire audience. The fans' voices gathered together directly drowned out EXO’s vocals, leaving them reduced to backup dancers.

" 。The elevator, which had just gone up, came down again. Chi Jingyuan walked down the steps to the edge of the stage and stood in his designated spot facing the audience in front. 。Feeling the fans' enthusiasm and listening to their singing also made his mood very good. 。His eyes were curved, he swayed his body softly in response to the fans' chorus, while extending his hands in front of him to simulate butterflies flying, smiling and constantly making the little butterflies flap their wings following the frequency of the glow sticks. 。

The butterfly made with both hands circled in front and returned to the front, ready to end. At this moment, Chi Jingyuan glanced at the front casually. His gaze stopped involuntarily on the way. He saw a girl cheering in the crowd near the stage, waving fluorescent sticks non-stop. It was Zhou Tzuyu.

Her ticket was her own, right in the front row of the stage. It was about this position. 。

Zhou Tzuyu apparently also noticed that she was seen by Ji Jingyuan. After being stunned for a moment, an intense sense of surprise instantly enveloped her. Her originally excited and slightly open mouth, humming along with the song, stretched even wider, revealing a row of pearly white teeth as excitement overflowed. Her large eyes, wide and bright, also curved upwards, her right hand waving the glow stick incessantly while extending her left hand to respond to Ji Jingyuan's gaze, actively engaging him with her enthusiasm and joy, effectively surrounding him on stage.

"... Seeing this girl, Chi Jingyuan also paused for a second. Seeing her changing face and smiling expression, as well as her joyous actions, he couldn't help but smile inwardly. He used his hands to gesture like butterflies, flapping their wings towards her side. He also grinned in response. After causing the excitement screams of the group of female fans who were sitting in that direction and thought Chi Jingyuan was interacting with them, he didn't do anything special. He simply returned to his position as the song ended." 。Only Zhou Tzuyu was there, with a smile on her face, chuckling. Because she knew the other person had seen her and even responded, feeling the excitement of the fans beside her after misidentifying her, a small sense of satisfaction couldn't help but ripple through her heart. 。After the performance of "Butterfly Girl" ended, a few people including Ji Jingyuan went back to the backstage through the passage while the stage lights dimmed to prepare for changing clothes. They left the stage to Bian Berxian, Kim Jun-myeon and others. The three main and sub vocalists will collaborate on the song "baby, don't cry". 。However, the highlight of this stage wasn't these three. The highlight was the dancers backing them up: Kim Jong-in and Woo Shi-hoon. 。At some point, two pools were added to the sides of the stage. When the music started, the two remaining main dancers and lead dancers each performed a solo on the side before directly stepping barefoot into the water and starting a wet seduction routine. They used their hands and feet to splash water, completely soaking their white shirts. Looking at Kim Jong-in's expression, he seemed to really enjoy this part of the performance, looking intoxicated and deeply immersed in it. 。"

“They seemed to be enjoying themselves quite a bit, not that practicing made their legs hurt…”

Not to mention Pool Jingyuan and the others changing their clothes backstage, through the display screen mercilessly criticizing these two people's underwater dance, anyway the audience's reaction was extremely enthusiastic, since they entered the water screams haven't stopped." 。Just as female fans of girl groups are envious of the idols' figures, male fans of boy groups feel the same way. Seeing Kim Jong-in and Wu Shixun with their wet shirts clinging to their bodies, revealing their toned flesh, is incredibly exciting. 。

It's estimated that if Chi Jingyuan had been chosen instead, the atmosphere at the scene would have been even more heated and explosive. It's a pity that the concert design team suggested this option at first, but he declined.

Kids only play with water!

"Playing with water is fun!"

After the stage ended, several performers, either drenched in sweat or soaked through, returned to the backstage to change clothes. Ji-Seung watched Se-Hun enter and sincerely praised him. 。"Die!" No time to argue with him, Wu Shih-hsuan just snapped back at him as he walked in and was greeted by his long-awaited assistant. A few people came over with dry towels to wipe them down 。

But at this time, as the stage was transitioning, the large screen was playing a VcR made by Ji Jingyuan and the others before, which was used to show the faces of each member, a slightly sweet VcR

The whole thing is just each member appearing in turn and interacting with a right hand that's coming in, either holding hands or playing the piano together or something like that.

There's only one hand in the artwork and no people, so it allows fans to feel a strong sense of immersion, feeling like they are interacting with EXO in the picture. 。It's a pity, when Chi Jingyuan saw this VcR, he felt uncomfortable in his heart and couldn't help but complain. 。Because the hand model in the shots interacting with EXO was half the time from one of their female assistants, and the other half was... it was Sehun's... At the time of filming, I didn't know what mindset led to this, or if Sehun himself suggested it, but after changing shooting locations, he directly took over the hand model work. 。Luckily, the part with Ji-won and his female assistant was still acceptable to work with. But several other people felt really awkward during filming. Now seeing the edited VCR where Jin Jong-ren, Woo Shi-hun, and even Beom-hyun have such intimate interactions with each other, I can't help but feel my blood boiling, wanting to vomit. 。

"How do my hands look" Even after changing his clothes, Bian Bianxian still grinned and said this.

Nobody paid attention to him. 。"Getting ready to go on stage" 。Under the stagehand's notification, Exo quickly made last-minute adjustments in front of the mirror and lined up to head towards the lift platform. 。This VcR is quite interesting, only showing one hand lets fans imagine themselves in it, feeling sweet. 。“As the VcR finished playing, the entire venue plunged into darkness. Scattered murmurs filled the air. Jiang Sheqi leaned in close to Pei Zhuxuan's ear and shared her thoughts.” 。"Pfft...sweet Hahaha..." Hearing this, Bae Joohyun couldn't help but burst into laughter. She couldn't help but think back to when she had chatted with Ji-sung before, when he told her that half the time his hand model was Baekhyun. That strange and awkward tone, coupled with the comments she had just seen on VcR and Jeong Seqi about it, brought a wave of amusement washing over her, seemingly hitting her funny bone. She giggled uncontrollably, covering half her mouth with one hand and her stomach with the other, even momentarily putting down the glow stick. 。Ginger Sheqi beside him watched the laughing Ohni in silence. She blinked her eyes inexplicably, not knowing if her words had hit this Ohni's funny bone. She really couldn't understand it. 。

She laughed for several seconds before calming down. Picking up her glow stick again, she looked expectantly at the dark stage. Though there was no lighting just now, because they were so close, they had seen the figures of the staff setting up props and scenery.

After the noise in the room gradually faded, a few piano keys were suddenly struck, playing a prelude that was both dynamic and low. 。Just listening to the first two sounds, Bae Joo-hyun immediately sat up straight, smiling with eyes sparkling as she stared intently at the stage. 。She can recognize this song just by hearing the first one or two notes of the intro. 。Soon, several tiny white lights shone down from the ceiling, sweeping back and forth across the stage as if searching for something. Then, suddenly, they converged in the middle, forming a straight beam of white light that enveloped the person standing there - Chi Jingyuan. 。Now he had changed out of his previous gold armor and white shirt. A crimson-colored suit with a black lining accentuated his figure, making him appear straight and tall. Standing there, bathed in the blazing light, his black hair reflected the illumination, revealing a powerful aura of nobility and mystery. When his close-up appeared on the big screen, this outfit truly caused many fans to exclaim in surprise. 。"It'll become a habit, won't it" 。Like catching a cold all of a sudden 。The moment he was bathed in light, he held the microphone and softly sang the first line of "Let It Be". 。And Pei Zhuhyun's lip sync was exactly the same as his, from the moment Ji Kyeongwon started singing, she silently sang along perfectly in sync. 。She was all too familiar with this song, more so than even Ji Jingyuan himself. 。After the opening introduction, one spotlight after another illuminated the other members. On stage, there was a huge three-tiered rack that had appeared at some point. It looked like it was made of steel, with intersecting thin beams and columns that shone brightly under the lights, showcasing a mechanical beauty. All of the Exo members stood on the rack, bathed in white light as they sang their parts. 。

In the overcast sky, there must be a brighter light

After the dark clouds dispersed, a brilliant light shone forth. 。”

“yohelikethesatrs.”

“youlightupyheart.” Hearing this song released during a special period, with all the lyrics written for oneself, the Aileys were deeply moved watching nine figures in water-red suits on stage. It seemed they were reminded of the most difficult time in the latter half of last year, every morning when they woke up to the news, worrying and fearing that they would see the news of someone leaving the group>>> 。And this song "Go with the Flow" is like a beam of light breaking through the darkness in the night, giving a lot of fans strength. 。That includes singing along from beginning to end with Seulgi. 。She hummed along, her eyes scanning the crowd to and fro. Many people were singing along, but out of the over 10,000 spectators in the entire venue, only she and Chi Jingyuan knew the origin of this song. At this moment, surrounded by a sea of fans, a strange feeling of inexplicable joy arose in her heart, mixed with a smug sense of satisfaction. 。

Fans have always criticized S for having very few live stage performances of "順其自然". Up to now, there have only been a handful of large-scale live stages, making it difficult for fans who love this song to find any performance footage.

This time, all the members looked extremely cool and stylish in their suits of wine red. It was impossible to look away. 。One big reason I love watching live performances is because the last part of this song live is just so good. 。“uu~~wuu~~”“ah~ahhh~~” At the end of "Let It Flow," Ji-yeong and Do-hyuk's ukulele performance appears once more. The two sit with one corner of their ukuleles resting on a metal frame, singing intently and passionately the culminating part. Their emotive voices surround them, bathed in starlight and shimmering light beams that interweave with the ruby hues of their suits, leaving an intoxicating aftertaste. 。On the left side of the stage, close to the audience seating area, the one who might have blushed from laughing just moments ago looked incredibly alluring. Only after finishing the song with a smile, did Bae Joo-hyun seem to recall something, her earlier excitement slightly subdued, leaving only a faint smile on her face as she stared at Ji Chang-wook on the stage iron frame. In the midst of the bustling atmosphere, she seemed lost in thought. 。This song means so much to her, every time she listens to it, she feels something different. Even the popular song "callbaby" that follows immediately after doesn't compare to how much she loves "Follow the Flow". 。Just listening to the “callbaby” coming from beside her, she glanced at her younger sister members who had already immersed themselves in the performance. She let out a relaxed smile and her eyes refocused on Park Ji-won who was standing center stage leading the dance and singing "callbaby". 。The costume and the two songs surprisingly match very well at this time, it's pleasing to the eye. 。

Pei Zhuxuan shook the fluorescent stick in her hand vigorously, her eyes seeming to have a hint of reproach.

This suit and color really go well together... Why are you dressed so handsomely... 《callbaby》 as one of the most popular songs by the male idol group in 2015, nearly dominated all music shows for a month, and the astonishing eighteen number-one wins are proof of its explosive popularity. 。

Previous sentimental songs, including "Butterfly Girl" and "Go with the Flow," although very popular with the audience and inspired singalongs, were still not as explosive as a hot dance track. The release of this song naturally ignited fans' passion.

“callbaby, callbaby.”“callbaby, callbaby.”“Thousands of times and never tired, callgirl.” By the final group crab dance stage, Ji Jingyuan stood in the middle with his hands behind him, swaying his body and shoulders, leading the big crowd to shift to the left side of the stage. The screams reached their peak. The sound was so loud that it even drowned out the earphones. To be honest, it hurt his eardrums. 。

Next, they performed the mini-album's track "thunder" and this year's new song "butterfly". One is strong in rhythm, the other gentle and graceful. The different styles, interpreted by EXO's stage presence, show a completely different flavor. Especially the latter, this powerful and emotional ballad coupled with the wine red suit, exudes a seductive and alluring vibe, making many fans secretly lick their lips.

After the conclusion of 《butterfly》, VcR began playing again. Exo exited the stage to change costumes. This concert has now entered its middle section. 。After Exo's performance, looking at the slightly comical shots on the Vcr screen, several female idols sitting on one side of the venue couldn't help but whisper to each other. 。This novel is first published on Traditional Chinese Novel Network.eyes that had been looking at him seemed a little embarrassed, and he avoided eye contact, looking instead at the television which wasn't even turned on. He pretended to stare at the reflection inside...
