nAt the concert venue.

nOne song!

nThree songs!

nFive songs!

n…

n“I’m ugly.

n“but I am so tender.

n“Cold on the outside, passionate inside.

n“That’s who I am!”

n…

n“Tonight, I saw snow drift through the cold sky

n“With a cooled off heart, I drifted far away.

n“Chasing you in the storm.

n“Can’t tell shadows apart in the fog.

n“You and I in these vast horizons.

n“Can we change?”

n…

n“I planted a seed in the earth.

n“And it finally bore fruit.

n“Today is a glorious day.”

n…

nThe concert was already halfway through.

nZhang Ye had performed over a dozen songs. There was a mixture of new songs and old songs. As he was too focused and did not have any guest artists supporting him, Zhang Ye had stayed on the stage by himself so far. His voice was already starting to show strain and had turned hoarse under the continuous high-intensity singing.

nHe finished performing another song.

nThe elevator platform beneath Zhang Ye’s feet descended.

nThe costume designer and makeup artist immediately gathered around him.

nLittle Wang quickly twisted open a bottle of water. “Hurry up and have a sip!”

nZhang Ye took it from her and drank from it.

nHa Qiqi said worriedly, “Please rest for a while.”

nZhang Ye shook his head.

n“It will be too tiring if you go on like this,” Zhang Zuo added.

nZhang Ye smiled. “I can still hold up.”

nThe costume crew suddenly said, “The hat? Where is the hat?”

nLittle Zhou said, “Ah? It was still here a moment ago.”

nThe makeup artist was holding the makeup kit and saying, “Touch up the makeup first!”

nIt wasn’t very coordinated, and the costume change still wasn’t finished after half a minute.

nThe continued shouting from the venue could be heard from below the stage.

n“Zhang Ye!”

n“Zhang Ye!”

n“Zhang Ye!”

nZhang Ye looked at Ha Qiqi and the others. “I’m going back up.”

nHa Qiqi was taken aback. “Don’t, the costume change and makeup aren’t done yet!”

nZhang Ye smiled and said, “There’s no need for that, I’ll just go on like this.”

nZhang Zuo said anxiously, “But—”

nBefore he could finish speaking, Zhang Ye had already cut him off by saying, “Bring me up!”

nEveryone rushed to follow his orders.

nLittle Wang asked in a whisper, “Why is Director Zhang in such a hurry?”

nHa Qiqi said, “I don’t know.”

nZhang Zuo wondered for a moment and recalled something. “Have you all realized something? Director Zhang seems to be very anxious in everything that he does these days. It’s like there’s something chasing after him.”

nWu Yi said, “I’ve felt that too.”

nThe makeup artist was anxious but said helplessly, “He still shouldn’t just leave his makeup half-done like that. Teacher Zhang is an Asian superstar, and for a celebrity, their image should be of the utmost importance. Who does something like during their own concert?”

nMakeup?

nOutfit?

nZhang Ye did not need any of those anymore because he was out of time. The Internet Surveillance Bureau should have received the email he scheduled to be sent out. The people over there should have guessed the true identity of 2 by now. Zhang Ye knew that his concert could be interrupted at any moment and was something that he couldn’t stop. Whatever had to come would still come, so he wanted to sing. He wanted to use this last bit of time to sing as many songs as he could. He wanted to continue singing all the way until the last moment.

nThe elevator platform was raised.

nZhang Ye returned to center stage.

nThe fans in the venue immediately screamed. Then everyone realized that something was wrong. The viewers who were watching the livestream also realized this.

n“Eh?”

n“Why is he still wearing that same outfit?”

n“He didn’t change it?”

n“His makeup wasn’t touched up either?”

n“What’s going on? Why did he come back in such a hurry?”

nThe music started.

nZhang Ye was smiling.

nCome on!

nLet’s sing!

nAs long as you all want to hear it, I will keep singing for you!

nSuddenly, Zhang Ye behaved in a way that made everyone scream senselessly. In the midst of hard rock accompaniment, he took off his top and flung it aside!

nHe did not need any makeup!

nHe did not need any costumes either!

nHe only wanted to sing!

nHe wanted to run wild on this final stage of his!

nZhang Ye raised his microphone and sang hoarsely 1 .

n“Stripped to the waist, I greet the blustering snow!

n“Running down the road from the hospital I escaped!

n“Don’t try to stop me, I don’t want any clothes either!

n“Because my sickness is that I have no emotions!”

nAt this moment, everyone’s blood surged and screams exploded!

nZhang Ye roared.

n“Give me a bit of flesh! Give me a bit of blood!

n“Replace my iron will and steely resolve!

n“Please let me cry, please let me laugh!

n“Please let me run wild on this staaaaage!”

nThe fans in the audience were howling like crazy.

n“It’s rock ‘n’ roll!”

n“Zhang Ye!”

n“Zhang Ye!”

n“This is so awesome!”

n“This is exhilarating!”

n“This is what a **ing concert should be like!”

n“Ahhhh!”

n“What a great feeling!”

nEveryone stood up!

nEveryone followed along and screamed as one!

nZhang Ye sang loudly.

n“I’m not wearing any clothes or any shoes!

n“Yet can’t feel the force and intensity of the nor’wester!

n“I don’t know if I’m walking or running!

n“Because my sickness is that I have no emotions!”

nHe pointed diagonally upward.

n“Give me a little stimulation, my good doctor!”

nThe audience shouted, “Oh!”

n“Give me a little love, my sexy nurse!”

nThe audience shouted, “Oh!”

n“Please let me cry, please let me laugh!

n“Please let me run wild on this stage!

n“Yee, yeah! Yee, yeah!

n“Because my sickness is that I have no emotions!

n“Yee, yeah! Yee, yeah!

n“Please let me run wild on this staaaaage!”

nThe people backstage were really enjoying this performance!

nThe audience at the venue was really enjoying this performance!

nThe viewers watching the livestream were also really enjoying this performance!

nThey had not seen Zhang Ye sing like this in a very long time. They had not seen Zhang Ye act so wildly in a very long time. But it was very satisfying. Their bodies were all surging with excitement!

nZhang Ye shouted to the audience, “Have you heard enough?”

nEveryone shouted together, “Not! Yet!”

nZhang Ye laughed loudly, “Then let’s do it again!”

nThe audience shouted, “Alllllright!”

nZhang Ye said, “Everyone, sing it with me!”

n“Yee, yeah! Yee, yeah!

n“Because my sickness is that I have no emotions!

n“Yee, yeah! Yee, yeah!

n“Please let me run wild on this staaaaage!

n“Yee, yeah! Yee, yeah!

n“Because my sickness is that I have no emotions!

n“Yee, yeah! Yee, yeah!

n“Please let me run wild on this staaaaage!”

nOnce!

nFive times!

nTen times!

nZhang Ye’s voice went hoarse!

nThe audience’s voice also went hoarse!

nThis was an Olympic venue that could hold a 100,000 people! The entire venue was singing with Zhang Ye and shouting with him. This was such a spectacular scene. The entire concert venue felt like it was about to explode with every voice thundering. This was a scene that no one had ever witnessed before!

nThis was one of Cui Jian’s songs.

n“Wild in the Snow”!

nThe song had its lyrics changed by Zhang Ye and was performed in this world for the first time. He had also never sung a song in such a way before. Those regrets, that unwillingness to part, the negative emotions he had, all that seemed to have disappeared in an instant. He raised the microphone and said, “I prepared fifty songs for today. I will sing however many songs you all want to hear. I will sing whatever songs you want to listen to! Do you want to listen to ‘The Internationale’?”

nThe audience roared, “Yeeeeeeeeeees!”

nZhang Ye laughed loudly. “Let’s sing it together!”

n“Arise! ye pris’ners of starvation!”

n“Arise! ye wretched of the Earth!”

nThe concert was finally reaching a climax!
