"Let us congratulate our lucky audience member! Now, please come up on stage with the staff!"
Tina said loudly, looking at the big screen.
The venue erupted in another wave of thunderous cheers.
Countless envious and jealous eyes fell upon Su Yu.
"Why isn't it me!"
"Ahhh! He's too lucky! To get to sing with Tina!"
"I can't accept this! I've loved Tina for over a decade, attended every concert, and I've never been picked!"
"I'm so envious!"
"So close! If the camera had panned a little further, it would have been me!!"
The audience members around Su Yu were particularly agitated.
They were so close to singing with their goddess, but the opportunity slipped through their fingers due to luck.
"Can I refuse..." Su Yu's lips twitched beneath his mask.
He didn't want to go up because he wasn't a fan of Tina.
He didn't know a single one of her songs.
How could he possibly sing with her?
"Go on," Lin Yanyu said, shaking his arm and pouting. "Refusing on the spot would be rude. You at least need to give the fans an explanation. It's such a great opportunity; even if you don't sing, you could get an autograph for me."
Su Yu felt she had a point.
If he refused now, he'd likely be mobbed by the frenzied fans around him.
To them, this was a dream they had pursued for so long.
Even if Su Yu didn't want to go or couldn't sing, he had to go on stage and explain, otherwise, he might have to be carried out of the concert.
There was a staff member for every row of audience members.
Soon, a staff member found Su Yu in the audience seating.
"Sir, congratulations! Please come with me to the stage." A blonde, blue-eyed foreign woman bowed slightly to Su Yu.
"Su Su, go quickly!" Lin Yanyu's voice was filled with excitement.
Su Yu had no choice but to get up and follow the foreign woman towards the stage.
Along the way.
Countless envious and jealous gazes followed him.
It made him feel like his back was covered in thorns.
Who would have thought that while accompanying his wife to a concert, he, out of hundreds of thousands, would be chosen as the lucky audience member...
What made him even more speechless was that he truly couldn't sing Tina's songs.
Upon arriving on stage.
Su Yu, under the staff's arrangement, stood next to Tina.
Seeing the world-class superstar up close, the woman, nearly forty, exuded a mature charm. Unlike the youthful innocence of younger women, her sexy figure, just by standing there, was a fatal temptation to men.
New cars value the sense of accomplishment from breaking in, while old cars offer a smooth and rich experience.
Each has its own merits.
"This lucky audience member, judging by your appearance, you seem to be of Eastern descent?"
Although Su Yu was wearing a mask, his eyes were enough to indicate that he was not Western.
The staff member handed the microphone to Su Yu.
"Yes, I'm from China." Su Yu replied.
"Then, this audience member from China, what song would you like to sing with me?" Tina wasn't particularly surprised, as she had many fans in China, and even quite a few Chinese celebrities attended her concerts.
"Well..." Su Yu seemed conflicted.
"Any of my songs will do," Tina said with a smile.
Your songs? I haven't heard a single one, damn it...
But would saying that get him torn apart by the fans?
"I won't embarrass myself by singing. I'm here at your concert with my wife, and she's always been a big fan of yours, so Miss Tina, could you give me an autographed photo?"
Su Yu decided to tell the truth.
"You just want an autographed photo?" Tina looked at Su Yu with surprise.
"Yes, yes." Su Yu's eyes shone with innocent sincerity.
The audience in the seats was stunned!
You're so lucky to sing with Tina, and you only want an autographed photo?
"Choose again!"
"Get someone else!"
"What a great opportunity, wasted!"
The audience felt Su Yu was wasting such a golden opportunity.
Being able to sing with Tina was a dream for so many people on Blue Star!
They felt their dreams were being trampled upon, like everyone wanting a moment of intimacy with a girl, and a passerby gets the chance, but that passerby says, "Actually, I just wanted to ask for directions."
It was infuriating!
"It seems this lucky audience member is a bit nervous." Tina noticed the awkward atmosphere, but as a world-class superstar, she had crowd control skills. She made a joke to appease the audience.
Then, she leaned close to Su Yu's ear and whispered, "You can't sing my songs, can you?"
Su Yu looked at her in surprise, then subtly nodded. Becoming a world-class superstar wasn't just luck; she could discern the important points from his words.
"Then you can sing any song, or even half a song by someone else. A capella is fine, don't be nervous. Just sing, and leave the rest to me."
Tina wasn't upset that Su Yu didn't know her songs. In her opinion, even world-class superstars weren't known by everyone.
But now that Su Yu had been chosen to go on stage, if he didn't sing, it would be difficult to explain to the fans. Public opinion could be deadly for an ordinary person, and she didn't want an innocent person to be cyberbullied by her fans.
"Alright, you lead the topic," Su Yu finally agreed.
Tina looked at him with surprise again. His calm demeanor suggested he wasn't an ordinary person, and he even knew how to steer the conversation.
She smiled and nodded, then picked up the microphone. "Of course, an autographed photo is possible, but the rule of our show is to sing a duet."
"Miss Tina's songs are too difficult for me, I really can't sing them..." Su Yu feigned helplessness.
"Then do you know other songs? My voice is a bit tired, so perhaps, audience friends, we could let him sing a song by himself? That way, I can rest for a few minutes too?"
Tina looked to the audience, seeking their opinion.
She first mentioned her tiredness, then threw the question to the audience, using a series of impromptu solutions to shift the topic and provide the audience with an out.
"No problem, let him sing solo!"
"Sure, Goddess Tina, please rest well!"
"Does this guy know what he's missing? He could have sung with Tina, and now it's a solo..."
The audience instantly felt better.
They were already envious and jealous of Su Yu's luck. Now that they weren't singing a duet, they would only think that Su Yu was losing out, wasting such a great opportunity.
"Then I'll just sing something random?" Su Yu turned to Tina and said, "Could you get me a guitar?"
Concerts always had live bands, and while backing tracks could be played, Su Yu hadn't brought a USB drive this time.
However, for Su Yu, singing a song with a guitar was enough.
"You play guitar too?" Tina looked at Su Yu in surprise.
"A little." Su Yu nodded.
Tina glanced at the band's guitarist. "Give him the guitar."
After speaking, she stood aside with interest, arms crossed, watching Su Yu.
