The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 203

Back at the scene, a song on stage had just finished.

The concert was nearing the end, everything had gone perfectly without a hitch.

When it came to the second last song.

Zhu Sha and Nan XiangWan walked onto the stage side by side.

Both wore exquisite tailored white suits, the collars and cuffs trimmed with gold.

As soon as they appeared, the audience erupted enthusiastically, the cheers were deafening!

It was time for the silly boys' CP part!

A duo performance!

And their outfits really matched well!

Nan XiangWan worked out regularly, his back straight, and along with his height of 1.69 meters, paired with 7 cm high ankle boots.

Standing there, he was just like a prince charming on a white horse from the medieval times!

So handsome and beautiful!

Beside him Zhu Sha was also dressed stylishly, his folded long sleeves partially revealing his forearms.

Seeing them standing there opposite each other drove the audience into shrieks.

The silly boys CP fans immediately popped up!

It was like New Year's Eve!

At the same time, a piano was also brought on stage.

It was placed slightly left of center on the stage.

Above the 20 million crystal piano shone the brightest lights.

It was the most illuminated spot in the whole venue!

Then, the accompaniment sounded.

Like the crisp clip-clop of horse hooves.

Nan XiangWan walked from the middle of the stage toward the piano, each step landing precisely on the beats of the accompaniment.

Ten seconds.

Zhu Sha: "We present to you 'Sound Of War', original by Tommee Profitt/Fleurie."

Right on cue as he finished speaking at the 10 second mark of the accompaniment.

Nan XiangWan also arrived at the piano at that exact time, and sat down.

Thud!

The crisp piano tones.

The clear and melodious piano sounds alternated with the drums of the accompaniment band.

Zhu Sha sang the first verse:

[Just when you think you're saved]

[Just when you've locked your door]

The black and white keys danced nimbly, thump thump!

Nan XiangWan's fair and slender fingers seemed born to play the piano.

Coming to 20 seconds into the song.

Nan XiangWan leaned towards the microphone in front of the piano, his voice quickly joining in:

[At your back like a loaded gun]

[But the fight has just begun]

[Steady now breathe breathe]

The hoarse voice, accompanied by the piano sounds from his hands gliding over the black and white keys, was intoxicating.

After a sigh.

The two sang out loudly together:

[You can't run]

[You can't hide]

In that instant, the area in front of the stage exploded.

The light sticks in the central control area kept alternating between red and purple, the overlapping colors creating extremely vibrant lights.

It looked exceptionally beautiful!

The accompaniment band at the back added in various instruments.

For the last line, Nan XiangWan's high notes came in:

[This is the sound of war]

It came to the 2 minute mark of the song.

Zhu Sha put down the microphone, and walked to the other side of the stage.

The lights on her gradually dimmed, eventually disappearing completely.

The brightest spot on the whole stage now shone on Nan XiangWan and the crystal piano!

At this time the entire accompaniment band made an appearance, and the audience could see the band teachers passionately playing their hearts out.

No matter which instrument they held, they started performing.

This song was 4 minutes 7 seconds long, but the singing part was only 2 minutes, the remaining 2 minutes 7 seconds was purely instrumental.

The whole scene was like a symphony performance!

The colors being displayed also started changing, from two colors to seven colors.

Nan XiangWan's hands danced nimbly over the black and white piano keys, even though there had been no rehearsal, even though this was the first time performing with the accompaniment band.

But his piano performance was perfect, every note aligning flawlessly with the accompaniment.

The audience was stunned, eyes fixed on Nan XiangWan's hands.

Right until the 4 minutes 7 seconds ended.

The music faded away.

The lights shining on the crystal piano disappeared.

In its place, another corner of the stage.

Zhu Sha held a guitar, the folded long sleeves draped over the back of her hands, placed over the guitar strings looking exceptionally elegant.

At this point, the fans finally understood why Zhu Sha's outfit was styled this way.

Turns out it was for playing the guitar!

Ding dong! Ding dong!

The guitar strings were plucked and strummed.

The accompaniment band at the back also started playing wind chime sounds.

At this time another beam of light on the stage lit up.

It was the center of the stage.

The other 5 members of Destiny Girls appeared!

All dressed in white!

Right in the middle was Deng Si Nan, wearing a slightly more intricate white strapless long dress.

Seated on a stool in the center, in her hands she held a cello.

Deng Si Nan played the cello.

Amidst the interweaving sounds of guitar, wind chimes, and cello.

The lights on the crystal piano lit up again, and Nan XiangWan's piano tones joined in!

Thump! Thump thump!

Swish——

The audience in the venue started cheering!

It exploded!

It was 'Rain Cat'!

Nan XiangWan's unique voice inserted gently amidst the soft instrumentation:

[The alley in the blue sky, raining harbor]

[Lingling tiles, ten days square]

[I met a cat in the rain because of you sounding long]

[I met a cat in the rain, smiling at the corners of your mouth raised]

The venue started singing along, fans waving their rainbow colored light sticks.

Everyone sang along to this song.

From the explosive 'Battlefield' to the warm 'Rain Cat' ending.

The two hour concert was held perfectly!

Zhao Tiancheng backstage finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's over!

Everything went so smoothly it was flawless.

The fat old man happily spun around on the spot.

The concert going so well, they should plan a tour afterwards!

Hahaha!

The mass singalong of 'Rain Cat' resonated through the entire venue, ending on the final phrase 'little kitty'.

Nan XiangWan got up, standing with his teammates in the middle of the stage.

They bowed to the 20,000 strong audience!

The cheers were still ongoing, light sticks waving vigorously.

Zhu Sha raised the microphone: "Thank you everyone!"

Finally, another bow.

When their heads were lowered, she couldn't hold back the tears streaming down her face.

Thank you all!

It was worth all your love and support!

The other teammates were also crying uncontrollably.

Ge Dongxuan kept pulling Nan XiangWan's hand, waving enthusiastically at the fans.

The two fools once again drew laughter from the audience.

The concert was broadcast live as well as held at a venue for 20,000 people.

It had laughs, tears, and was exciting!

After Destiny Girls left the stage, Zhao Tiancheng went up to chat with the fans for a bit.

Because many were still unwilling to leave, wanting Destiny Girls to sing a couple more songs.

There was still time, it was only 10pm, they could stay up longer!

Zhao Tiancheng amiably promised: "Don't worry, we'll prepare a tour!"

Audience: "Wow——"

Hearing there would be a tour, the fans were incredibly happy!

The audience watching the livestream in other regions were even more delighted, now they would have a chance to attend it live too!
