Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Early in the morning, Zhou Chao got up, sat on the balcony, and enjoyed the view outside. The gentle breeze brushing against his face provided a comfortable sensation.

“Brother Chao, the feeling of the gentle breeze is so soothing!” Jiang Li appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.

“Why are you up so early? Don’t you want to rest a bit more?”

“The sun is already high up. I can’t sleep anymore!” Zhou Chao checked the time; it was nearly 10 AM, and he felt like he hadn’t been on the balcony for long.

Today, Jiang Li wore blue overalls, paired with a white and blue sailor suit and white flat shoes. She had her hair in a bun, exuding youthful energy.

“Brother Chao, are we going to spend the whole day at the hotel today?” Jiang Li joined Zhou Chao on the balcony.

“We’re taking it easy today. We’re going to a concert tonight! Looking forward to it?” Zhou Chao pinched Jiang Li’s cute nose lightly.

“Yeah, looking forward to it.” They hugged each other quietly, gazing into the distant sky.

“Brother Chao, look at that beautiful cloud!” Zhou Chao followed Jiang Li’s finger, pointing at a cloud that resembled a big chicken leg.

The weather today was exceptionally good, with a bright sun and clear blue sky. Fluffy white clouds floated in the sky, like sails decorating the blue ocean, making everything appear exceptionally beautiful.

The peaceful moment was disrupted by Li Yang’s arrival.

“You two, what are you doing sitting on the balcony? Haven’t you seen enough yesterday?” Zhou Chao was taken aback when he heard Li Yang’s words.

“Big Bro, why are you so dull? We’re enjoying the scenery. What brings you here?” Zhou Chao stood up from his chair, looking at Li Yang with disdain. “What’s wrong with me?” Li Yang looked puzzled, not knowing what he did wrong.

“People are appreciating the view here, and you come here to ruin the mood. You really lack taste!” Shen Lan’s voice came from behind, echoing Zhou Chao’s sentiments.

“Oh, 1 was sleepwalking just now, didn’t know what was happening!” Li Yang pretended to sleepwalk and walked into the bedroom, leaving the three others stunned.

“Big Bro, what time does the concert start in the evening?” Zhou Chao finally stopped Li Yang, who was trying to sneak away.

“The concert? Let me go grab the tickets and check!” Li Yang walked into the bedroom and took out the tickets that Liu Man had given them earlier.

“The concert starts at 7:30 in the evening!”

“We should go there early; otherwise, we’ll have to wait in a long queue if we’re late!” The others agreed with Zhou Chao’s suggestion, and they all decided to go to the concert venue early.

“So, are we just going to relax at the hotel today?”

“Yes, let’s rest at the hotel today. We’ll have the energy to enjoy the concert tonight, and tomorrow we can explore Hong Kong Island when the cruise ship arrives!” Zhou Chao lay down on the sofa, and Li Yang and the others started doing their own things.

After having dinner at the hotel, Zhou Chao and the others checked the time. It was already half-past six in the afternoon. Zhou Chao suggested heading to the Hong Kong Coliseum.

“Let’s go. I’ll drive!” Li Yang swung the car keys.

The Peninsula Hong Kong was not far from the Hong Kong Coliseum, located on Cheong Wan Road in the Yau Tsim Mong district of Kowloon. It would only take a few minutes to drive there.

Unfortunately, they encountered some traffic on the way, and when they arrived, finding a parking spot proved to be quite challenging. They drove around the parking lot several times before finally finding a vacant space to park their car.

After checking their tickets, the four entered the venue. The concert had a four-sided stage, with a relatively small audience of just over ten thousand people. The venue was filled with the constant cheers and chatter of fans. Each fan waved glow sticks, and some even held LED light boards.

Zhou Chao and the others had tickets for the front row of the inner field, directly facing the stage and in very close proximity to it. There was even a chance they could shake hands with the Jacky Cheung. Four large screens were set up, all oriented toward the audience, ensuring that everyone had a clear view.

Soon, it was 7:30 in the evening, and right on time, the familiar music filled the Hong Kong Coliseum.

As the music began, dazzling lights illuminated the stage, creating a radiant spectacle. A brilliant rainbow crossed over the heads of the fans, converging at the center of the stage. The voice of the legendary singer, Jacky Cheung, appeared gradually within the columns of light, prompting all the fans to shout his name loudly.

At the same time, the four large screens in the middle of the coliseum started playing promotional videos from different periods of Jacky Cheung’s career, eliciting cheers from the entire audience.

To kick off the concert, Jacky Cheung performed             (Only Want to

Go with You in This Life). The entire audience called out Jacky Cheung’s name, and gradually, some fans began singing along. It soon turned into a massive sing-along, with over ten thousand people joining in. No one cared about how well they sang; they all felt like they were part of something bigger, enchanted by the charm of the legendary singer.

Zhou Chao and Jiang Li sat together, listening to the first song. Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand a bit tighter, and they exchanged glances before raising their glow sticks and swaying them to the music.

After the first song, Jacky Cheung greeted the fans warmly and interacted with them. Then he proceeded to sing more of his hit songs. Audience song requests and singing along with the fans were all part of Jacky Cheung’s normal routine.

Many of Jacky Cheung’s fans were older and had grown up listening to his songs. Some had never appreciated his music in their younger days but found it touching now. Many in the audience couldn’t help but cry as they listened.

Whenever Jacky Cheung performed, the stage lights would suddenly focus on a particular fan in the audience. If it was a couple, they were expected to kiss in front of everyone, creating a fun atmosphere.

As the concert continued, some fans were moved to tears, others laughed, and there were also those who cheered enthusiastically. Among the fans, there were those with extraordinary singing skills who dazzled the crowd. Emotionally charged performances could move the entire audience. Of course, there were also off-key moments and voice cracks that added to the overall enjoyment.

Then, the spotlight shone on Jiang Li, and she was taken aback. She covered her mouth with her hands, and Zhou Chao, sitting beside her, saw the spotlight on them. Without hesitation, he pulled her close and kissed her passionately.

When their faces appeared on the big screen, the entire Hong Kong Coliseum erupted in excitement. They were a truly good-looking pair, and the cheers echoed throughout the venue. Even Jacky Cheung, looking at the passionate kiss, couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Good-looking guy, beautiful lady, your public display of affection is making us all feel envious!” Jacky Cheung’s words brought Zhou Chao and Jiang Li back to reality. They had just kissed in front of over ten thousand people, and Jiang Li’s face turned bright red as she covered it with her hands.

“This beautiful lady is shy. How about you, handsome guy? Is she your girlfriend?”

“She’s not only my girlfriend but also my future wife!” Zhou Chao declared in front of the large audience, making Jiang Li’s shy face light up with a happy smile.

“Wow, then I’ll wish you both a happy marriage in advance! Any song request from the handsome guy?” Jacky Cheung asked Zhou Chao.

“I’d like to request the song (Let You Know),” Zhou Chao requested, surprising Jacky Cheung because this song was dedicated to his future wife. Nevertheless, Jacky Cheung understood Zhou Chao’s sentiment.

“A song ‘Wn®’ for everyone!” The music started, and many fans smiled and embraced the people around them.

“Oh man, why wasn’t it us just now? So jealous!” Zhou Chao and Jiang Li had just sat down, and Li Yang, sitting beside them, started complaining, making everyone burst into laughter.

The concert continued as usual, but surprises kept coming. Public displays of affection were abundant, and even more intense than Zhou Chao’s, creating a lively atmosphere. There was even a live marriage proposal, where someone got down on one knee, adding to the excitement.

The concert lasted until 10 PM, and the fans were reluctant to leave. When the show finally ended, Jacky Cheung returned for an encore and sang”— (With You All the Way) on the spot. Fans slowly began to leave the Hong Kong Coliseum, savoring every moment.

It’s said that those who didn’t listen to Jacky Cheung in their youth and only understood his music later in life were the ones who truly understood its emotional depth..
