Chapter 30: Concert Rewards! The Love Between an Older Woman and Her Younger Man!

Shen Lang performed his new song “You Are the April of This World” for the first time at Jane Zhang’s concert.

With May just beginning and April having recently passed, the song’s theme fit perfectly.

This was the decision Shen Lang had made after receiving invitations from both Jane Zhang and G.E.M. to perform at their concerts.

For Jane Zhang’s concert → “You Are the April of This World”

For G.E.M.’s concert → “The Rest of My Life”

This neatly arranged all five songs rewarded by the system, each serving its purpose.

[I say you are the April of this world,

Your laughter lights up the winds from all directions~]

The moment Shen Lang began singing, everyone in the audience realized this was a brand-new song—another original by Shen Lang.

“Holy shit!”

“He’s actually performing a new song? Shen Lang is bold!”

“How did Jane even agree to this?”

“Jane’s first concert of 2018, and she invites Shen Lang as a guest… Are they involved?”

“This song is amazing! Shen Lang actually turned Lin Huiyin’s modern poem into a song—so daring!”

“So good! Absolutely beautiful!”

Many in the audience whispered and pondered, but after hearing “You Are the April of This World,” they were instantly won over.

“Shen Lang, sing it again!”

“Encore!”

The crowd chanted in unison.

“Everyone, quiet down…”

Jane Zhang’s voice rang out as she walked back onstage in a new outfit.

“Next, Shen Lang and I will perform ‘You Are the April of This World’ together. Do you want to hear it?”

“YES!” The stadium roared, the sound nearly lifting the roof.

Their duet carried a different energy compared to Shen Lang’s solo, and once they finished, the audience immediately demanded another encore.

Jane then announced they’d perform one of her own songs together.

As the opening notes of “If This Is Love” played, the two stood side by side, their exchanged glances broadcast on the big screen—sending fans into a frenzy.

So this really is love!

None of the fans seemed to remember Jane was already married.

During their performance, Shen Lang felt a familiar stirring in his chest. He knew exactly why.

The “Cao Cao Inheritance” skill.

The system’s reward had been influencing him all along.

Thankfully, he’d kept himself in check—staying rational, never acting impulsively.

An occasional slip-up with a married celebrity? Fine. As long as she was beautiful!

Shen Lang wasn’t exactly rigid about his principles. His moral baseline was… flexible.

Jane, too, found herself captivated by Shen Lang’s gaze. How had she never noticed how mesmerizing his eyes were? Or how unfairly handsome?

“Get together!”

“Get together!”

The moment “If This Is Love” ended, the entire audience erupted into chants, startling Jane. She quickly clarified, “Don’t say that! I’m married, and Shen Lang is still in college—this could hurt his reputation!”

She insisted they were just good friends. Purely platonic.

“Ugh, Jane and Shen Lang look so perfect together…”

In the VIP box, Jane’s best friend sighed wistfully, fully shipping the pair.

“Maybe I should play matchmaker?”

She huffed. “Jane mentioned she’s been fighting with her husband lately. That bastard’s been scheming to take her money—disgusting! They need to split!”

“After the concert, I’ll set them up.”

Once you start shipping, there’s no going back.

Jane shot Shen Lang a look, signaling him to exit while she handled the crowd. As a seasoned performer, she smoothly shifted focus with a few more songs.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! For participating in Jane Zhang’s 2018 ‘Truth’ Tour (Beijing stop) and completing your first concert appearance, you are rewarded with: Max Stage Experience!]

Shen Lang: “???”

The reward came out of nowhere.

Performing at concerts gives rewards too?

Instantly, a flood of “Max Stage Experience” poured into his mind—covering not just concerts, but variety shows, premieres, filming ceremonies, and more.

“Incredible…”

After a long moment, Shen Lang exhaled in satisfaction.

The knowledge was too vast to absorb all at once, but it had taken root. He’d digest it gradually.

Backstage, he relaxed and enjoyed Jane’s performance. It was, frankly, a delight.

Thirty minutes later, Jane called him back to cover for another outfit change.

“Shen Lang!”

After a few songs, the crowd had fully embraced him.

For some reason, they all felt he and Jane were meant to be.

His age?

Please.

Older woman/younger man romances are the best!

Ignoring the cheers, Shen Lang chose not to perform his own songs this time. Instead, he sang Jane’s “The Day After Tomorrow.”

When Jane returned in a fresh outfit, they duetted on “Only Without If,” leaving fans baffled.

Was this the ship sinking in real time?

But the next song, “If We Keep Loving,” proved otherwise. Their smoldering eye contact sent shippers into euphoria.

This was what they lived for.

Ex-husband? Who?

Jane and Shen Lang were destined.

After the duet, Shen Lang ceded the stage again.

Backstage, he reflected on his two performances. The second had been noticeably smoother—his stage presence more polished.

During the first duet, his gaze might have been too obvious.

But by the second, thanks to the system’s reward, he’d improved. The cameras captured the same intensity, but with far more control.

Half an hour later, Jane returned once more—this time handing the stage to a guest violinist.

“Xiao Lang, you have improved so much! Your second performance was way better!”

She rushed off to change again, but not without a teasing promise: “Wait for me after the show. I’ve got a surprise for you~”

With a wink, she dashed back to the spotlight.

The rest of the night belonged to Jane alone.
