Chapter 996: Chapter 987 Guest (5)

After two lines of lyrics, another spotlight shone down.

It was Shang Feifei. She was dressed in an elegant white gown, with the hem flaring out. Her naturally delicate features were accentuated by her light makeup, and this simple and refined outfit perfectly brought out her graceful aura. She appeared slender, and her gaze was clear and bright.

Bo Yan was seated in the center of the stage, while Shang Feifei stood at the forefront. The audience in the front rows could see her more clearly. Her design choice made her seem like a beam of light in Bo Yan’s life. The previously dim stage began to brighten slowly, and then Shang Feifei began to sing as well.

To be fair, her voice couldn’t compare to that of a professional singer, but given that she rarely performed on stage, the audience seemed quite forgiving. After all, they were seeing a strikingly good-looking pair. These two were among China’s top-tier actors, known not just for their acting prowess but also for their stunning visuals. At the time when rumors of Shang Feifei surfaced, there were even some CP fans who felt a pang of regret, thinking, why weren’t these two together?

Especially as the two alternated in singing the opening lines, with the lyrics, melody, and their teamwork hinting at an emerging connection. The stage also started to light up further. Following this, the previously lonely male dancer on stage was soon joined by a female dancer to perform alongside him.

The two approached each other as they sang, with Bo Yan setting his guitar aside and gradually moving closer. Of course, it wasn’t as simple as just walking over; the choreography had been rehearsed to achieve this. But the duet choreography for him and Shang Feifei was, overall, relatively straightforward, incorporating some typical K-pop-style dance moves seen in boy and girl groups.

Yet, were the audience here for the dancing? Clearly not! They were here to see their favorite beautiful male and female stars side by side. If they could sing a few lines and dance a bit, even better. Particularly with Bo Yan dressed so irresistibly. It was rare to see him in such a disheveled, ruggedly unrestrained style. Though he wasn’t professionally trained in dance, he did know ballroom dance and had some foundational skills. At this moment, even a slight sway of his hips or lift of his hand exuded an almost devilish charm, instantly capturing all attention. Together with Shang Feifei—he being dangerously alluring, and she radiantly delicate—their on-stage contrast was fully displayed. Typically, it’s men who are aloof and women who are graceful, but in this moment, such extreme reversal between the two was played out splendidly. Many audience members, aware that Bo Yan and Shang Feifei were attending this Lunar New Year’s Eve Gala to promote the film "Storm," started to believe that just their sheer looks and charisma alone were enough to carry the movie.

Even in just a simple dance, one could sense unspoken chemistry and tender passion. That’s what it means to have first-class visuals and top-notch acting skills.

Originally, all the focus of this Lunar New Year’s Eve Gala was on this program. The moment Bo Yan appeared, the ratings skyrocketed. Moreover, Bo Yan’s fanbase had always been at odds with Xia Siyu. Since she hadn’t appeared yet, Bo Yan’s fans immediately started flooding the live-stream comments:

"FeiBo forever!"

"FeiBo is the best!"

"Some people are just shameless. Clearly, she was the supporting actress—how dare she try to fight for the leading role? Let me repeat: third lead, third lead, third lead!"

"If you overhype the CP, you might just ruin everything!"

...

The comment section was buzzing, the ratings continued to soar, and the number of live-stream viewers kept climbing. Everyone eagerly awaited the climactic chorus of the duet between Bo Yan and Shang Feifei when—suddenly—the stage went dark.

Then, Xia Siyu’s slightly crisp and clear voice rang out abruptly.

Immediately after, Xia Siyu, dressed in a fiery red gown with flowing long hair, emerged from beneath the stage, rising via a platform!
