503: Chapter 503 My Girl

The next day at noon.

"On the evening of October 14, the Beijing Public Security Bureau successfully apprehended a fugitive criminal at the concert held at the National Stadium (Birds Nest). The relevant situation is hereby reported as follows..."

"The audience at the scene was enthusiastic and orderly..."

"Through technical means and on-site deployment, the Public Security Bureau discovered a fugitive criminal at the event..."

"Our bureau immediately activated emergency plans and organized police forces to precisely control the suspect after the concert, while ensuring the safety of the audience and the normal progress of the event..."

"Currently, the suspect has been subjected to criminal coercive measures in accordance with the law, and the case is under further investigation..."

Xia Zhi read the police report to Lin Chuyan, laughing uncontrollably.

"Brother, this guy is your fan! He is a true fan!"

Lin Chuyan: "..."

Ruan Xingyu also chimed in from the side, "A fugitive, huh? So this is what 'forgive me for my lifelong indulgence in freedom' is all about?"

Wen Qi: "Turns out he really fell down now."

Fine, fine, you guys really know how to roast.

Lin Chuyan had nothing to say. Regardless, getting him caught was a good thing.

However, the impact of this incident quickly exceeded his expectations.

The news that the police caught a fugitive at Lin Chuyan's concert quickly went viral on the trending list.

#Fugitive apprehended at Lin Chuyan's concert#

To be honest, some netizens who were skimming and had poor eyesight almost misread it as Lin Chuyan being apprehended at the concert...

Netizens: "What! Lin Chuyan got arrested? Really? What did he do? Soliciting prostitutes? Drugs?"

After all, these days, it wouldn't be very surprising if an entertainment star really got arrested.

Looking closer: "There was actually a fugitive coming to watch the concert? No, buddy, how addicted are you? Do you love Lin Chuyan that much?"

[Oh my god, what an unexpected bonus!]

[Dying of laughter, Lin Chuyan really lives up to his reputation as the natural-born trending topic deity; there's just too much entertainment value.]

[I think I know what happened. It is said that Lin Chuyan put a lot of effort into preventing scalpers this time, using facial recognition and all kinds of technology... So, these people probably didn't know what they were getting into.]

[I've realized there are too many fans of Lin the Dog. This fugitive isn't young, is he? I always thought his fans were all kids.]

[Absurd, absolutely absurd. What kind of brain circuit is that? A fugitive has time to watch a concert? F*ck, is this why I can't get a ticket!]

However, before the netizens could finish roasting, another trending topic shot up.

#Lin Chuyan suspected of being arrested#

Clicking in, there was a photo of Lin Chuyan... under arrest?

Two police officers were flanking Lin Chuyan, with the latter's hands hanging down and clasped in front of him... Isn't this an arrest? Isn't this being brought to justice?

The Haters were overjoyed.

Looking closely at Lin Chuyan's expression—there even seemed to be cold sweat on his head?

For some reason, his smile felt very forced, giving the impression of someone having to put on a brave face while being arrested.

Looking at his posture again, he seemed a bit reserved; isn't this what dejection looks like after being taken away?

[Holy crap! What is this situation?]

[Who exactly was arrested? Wasn't it some fugitive?]

[Pass it on, Lin Chuyan was arrested.]

[I don't believe it. There's a concert tonight, and the officials haven't said it's cancelled. How could he be arrested?]

[No, are you idiots? There are no handcuffs on his hands; it's just a group photo, okay!]

[To the person above, is it possible they haven't had time to put them on yet?]

[Irrefutable evidence! Irrefutable evidence! Lin Chuyan has finally fallen from grace!]

[Heaven, please! Distinguish the loyal from the treacherous! Hahahaha, heaven has eyes!]

Lin Chuyan's fans were actually quite calm: "Crazy! The Haters have completely lost it. They grab onto a bit of fake news and climb up the pole; it's hilarious, okay."

In short, after these two trending topics, not to mention anything else, the entertainment value was honestly not much worse than the concert itself.

"Xia Zhi, oh Xia Zhi, my lifelong reputation has been ruined by you like this!"

Xia Zhi was still laughing, "Brother, you posed like that yourself, you can't blame me."

Lin Chuyan realized, a bit too late, "In the future, when taking photos with police officers, it must be one by one."

In the end, he still posted a Weibo to clarify.

[See you at the Birds Nest tonight.]

Concise and to the point, no need for much explanation.

However, the Haters' rhetoric was also updated.

[So this is marketing, right? Especially with such a group photo, is it fun to tease netizens?]

Fans immediately struck back.

[Marketing your mom! Even if you take hallucinogens three times a day, you couldn't make up this plot, okay! Thinking about marketing, marketing every day; does my brother need marketing at his current status?]

...

Lin Chuyan really didn't need marketing, otherwise he wouldn't have released a new album at midnight on the 23rd.

On the 22nd, at the Shanghai Stadium.

Wawa finally arrived.

An excited heart, trembling hands.

Before entering the venue, he took his ticket and posted a Weibo.

[Coming to see Asian Pop King Lin Chuyan's solo Acting, the best concert of the year, I'm here!]

Like first, then read; build the habit.

Mosquito Brother and Junior also came.

Regarding being able to grab tickets for this show, Mosquito Brother believed this was the bond between idol and fan—although it was just a nosebleed seat, being able to get it was already pretty good!

Mosquito Brother was also posting on Weibo, posting a photo with Junior + showing off the tickets.

[Watching the idol's concert together, music is our common language.]

Junior looked at him with bling-bling eyes, "Wenwen, actually we should thank Lin Chuyan for us being together."

Who could say otherwise?

The days when Mosquito Brother was still a Hater, willing to disguise himself as a true fan to pursue Junior, were still fresh in his memory.

At that time, he only felt it was more uncomfortable than swallowing a fly or eating sh*t; thinking about it now, he was almost like he was "Acting out of spite," really, why bother.

Mosquito Brother nodded, "I still remember watching 'the long season' with you in the study room~"

Junior: "I mean when we came to see Ruan Xingyu's concert, and then they made it official, and we also..."

"Hehehe." Mosquito Brother's old face beamed, "This is the courage and strength my idol gave me."

Well, actually, the fact that Lin Chuyan and the goddess made it official was such a huge stimulation for Mosquito Brother that it caused him to have a brain cramp, which gave him the courage to grab Junior's little hand.

Didn't expect it to actually work!

Thinking about this, the concert was finally about to start.

...

Lin Chuyan had the experience of those 5 days at the Birds Nest, so he was now completely unruffled.

Except for occasionally replacing one or two songs in the setlist, it was basically effortless.

Of course, today was Ruan Xingyu's birthday, and there were a few songs in the setlist specially sung for her.

He started chatting with the audience, "Are there any twenty-two-year-old friends here?"

The fans off-stage were excited.

Mosquito Brother: "???"

Junior: "Wenwen, aren't you 22?"

Mosquito Brother: "Holy crap, the idol is singing specifically for me!"

Junior: "..."

Lin Chuyan continued, "I know many people graduated from college this year, and maybe you are a bit confused about the future. Well, I hope the following song can bring you strength."

Mosquito Brother: "Officially confirmed, this is sung for me, I just graduated from college this year!"

Junior: "...Wenwen, calm down."

"Of course, are there any... girls with a birthday on the twenty-second?" Lin Chuyan stretched out his right hand and pointed forward, pointing to a certain place.

The director's camera panned and aimed directly at Ruan Xingyu sitting off-stage.

The whole venue erupted in screams again. The glow sticks in their hands flickered like stars, connecting the stage and the audience into a brilliant galaxy.

Ruan Xingyu was poised and graceful; she also reached out, smiling and pointing at Lin Chuyan on stage.

Her smile was like the warm sun of spring, gentle and bright, as if it could dispel all gloom.

"She debuted at twenty-two, and today, the twenty-second, is her birthday. I don't know what wish she will make, but I hope she can be happy forever."

Lin Chuyan's voice was gentle, but loud.

He loved purely, "The next song, 'twenty-two', is dedicated to my only one, my girl, Ruan Xingyu!"
