Chapter 366: 274. Let’s sing this song together

"Is this difficult?"

"How is it not? I’ve never even managed to snatch a general admission ticket!"

Guan Yongyi widened her eyes and pursed her lips in disagreement.

"Just pay several times the price to a scalper."

"...You win."

After checking their tickets one after the other, hand in hand, they wove through the crowd towards the VIP area.

The moment Guan Yongyi sat down, she couldn’t hide her excitement.

As a Yangcheng native who grew up listening to Yang Qianhua since her teenage years, her love for her carried through middle and high school to university.

Whether singing at public karaoke spots or muttering to herself in the shower, every playlist she made always featured Yang Qianhua the most.

"Do you know, to me, there probably isn’t a singer who resonates with me as much as Miss Yang does."

Amid the buzz of voices, Guan Yongyi leaned against the man’s shoulder, tilted her chin up, and lost herself in memories.

She began liking Yang Qianhua roughly 11 years ago, during her first year of high school.

During the sports day at Huazhong Normal University High School, the sports-resistant herself was hugging her knees, dozing off on the lawn out of boredom, when suddenly a friend popped an earbud into her ear.

"This song is so nice, doesn’t it sound like it’s about you?"

A gentle and lingering voice was singing.

"Who treats me well, who treats me poorly, I know all too well."

The female voice in the song articulated lightly, her breath shallow; it felt like with a little inattention, you could conjure up hundreds of movie scenes.

The emotional pitch of the chorus struck the heart deeply.

After that song, the woman singing "It’s a pity I’m an Aquarius" entered Guan Yongyi’s life, and her name was Yang Qianhua.

Guan Yongyi started feverishly catching up on every song she had released, every concert video and recording; she played each of her new releases over and over.

To what extent?

Like listening to her when infatuated, when feeling down; when happy, when sad; when struggling, when feeling inferior...

On nights when tears flowed and she felt she couldn’t face tomorrow, only sleeping to her songs could calm her, and then the next day, she’d gather her spirits and charge forward once more.

Just like the time right after high school when she, who had never drank, pulled Zhou Sinin with her to a bar, ordered a Long Island iced tea, and ended up passed out until noon the next day.

Because of her love for the singer, Long Island iced tea became one of Guan Yongyi’s favorite cocktails.

Countless times she shared her earphones with Zhou Sinin, and her close friend kept asking why she liked Yang Qianhua so much. She couldn’t give a specific reason, just kept repeating,

"It’s just because she’s Yang Qianhua, she sings herself."

In fact, not only Zhou Sinin, but some peers were also surprised to learn of her adoration for Yang Qianhua.

People thought Guan Yongyi’s choice of favorite singer was a bit out of the mainstream for a young person.

To prevent the conversation from stalling, people would even talk to her about Yang Qianhua’s movies and TV shows.

Since she primarily sang in Cantonese, many mainland viewers did not realize for a long time that Yang Qianhua was actually a singer.

When bringing her up, they always said, "Oh, Yang Qianhua, the actress."

Especially with the 2013 hit movie "Chungking Love Story," many young people came to know or fell in love with Yang Qianhua.

In their eyes, Yang Qianhua was Yu Chunjiao, and Yu Chunjiao was Yang Qianhua.

But Guan Yongyi never really liked this kind of talk.

Those who said such things had definitely not seen her concert performance.

The Yang Qianhua who, even when she cried while singing, would not drop her microphone but instead gripped it tightly, continuing to sing through her sobs.

Miss Yang’s songs always seemed to twist and contort within oneself, yet remained nobly beautiful.

Even if she also sang, "Spare me a share of blessings, don’t leave me alone," it was merely self-mockery when seeing friends happy.

This self-mockery was very much like Guan Yongyi herself.

She created a playlist on her NetEase Music account.

Titled [Since Falling in Love with Yang Qianhua, How Have You Changed?].

Unexpectedly, the playlist became a little popular, and the top comment was, "Courage to be an ordinary person."

Perhaps this was also why she loved Yang Qianhua.

Just as Miss Yang herself said, "I have nothing but a ’courage’ in my chest."

She remembered one episode of a variety show where, in Spain, she was knocked to the ground by a bull.

Facing her lover’s concern and worry, she said it was okay and that she could continue.

In every project where all the men wanted to give up, she stubbornly pushed through, never surrendering or compromising.

This trait was what characterized Yang Qianhua, ordinary yet brilliantly radiant.

She was the hero dreamed of by Guan Yongyi from her girlhood days, a hero amidst ordinary life.

To become the person in Miss Yang’s songs; even if unattainable, just having such a beautiful illusion makes life luminous.

Everyone who listened to Yang Qianhua might be seeking prideful defiance in her songs after facing injustices in real life.

Lin Xi candidly said at Yang Qianhua’s tenth anniversary show "A Night of Thousands of Qianhua":

"Qianhua is like a piece of myself. I gave her the best and most genuine part of me."

She deserved such high praises and adoration.

Because she is Yang Qianhua, she is the most beautiful and dazzling scenery.

Some said she was overweight, so she exercised every day, working out into shape.

Others called her ugly; she responded by wearing 16 different outfits for her shows, almost never repeating the same look each day.
