A misunderstanding is a misunderstanding; anyway, there's nothing more to say. You can't convince someone who already thinks that's the way things are; you can only prove everything through actions.

Lin Yifan doesn't want to stay in the room for another second and immediately goes to find Xiaofang.

After all, it's daytime, not yet midnight, so he doesn't have to return to his room to sleep. Even if it were midnight, he might not come back to sleep.

Seeing Lin Yifan turn and leave, Du Yuze couldn't help but ask, "Boss, where are you going?"

"Going to have fun!"

Lin Yifan answers as he strides away.

"Where are you going to have fun? Take me!"

Du Yuze jumps up from the bed and follows closely.

But Lin Yifan immediately refuses, "Take what? I'm going on a date, and you stay here obediently, don't go anywhere."

After finally having a chance to go out with Xiaofang, there's no way he's letting Du Yuze be the third wheel, so he has to ditch him.

"Boss, can you be so heartless?"

Du Yuze feels a chilly discomfort in his heart.

"So are you going to listen to the boss?" Lin Yifan retorts.

"I will! I will! I listen!"

Du Yuze has no choice; having acknowledged such a boss, he can only obediently follow his lead.

After ditching Du Yuze, Lin Yifan goes straight to Xiaofang's room and asks her to come out.

Xiaofang immediately steps out without saying a word, following Lin Yifan to have fun.

She just wants to stay by Lin Yifan's side all her life; such a great opportunity could not be missed.

Discovering that Du Yuze hasn't followed, she feels even happier, because this time will be a world of their two selves.

After saying a few words to the Great Elder, they leave the hotel to explore the city's most bustling, most fun places.

They first go to a theme park to play, then go shopping, buy things, and afterwards, they go to eat.

After finishing the food, it's already nine in the evening, entering the nighttime "cooling down" period.

However, there's a street whose bustling scene hasn't diminished; instead, it has increased against the trend, because a small concert is being held there.

Xiaofang has never attended a concert, so Lin Yifan accompanies her.

After several twists and turns on the road, they finally arrive on the street.

The stage is set up at the street corner; the street is already crowded beyond capacity, practically immobile.

Seeing such a magnificent scene, Xiaofang can't help but marvel, "Do so many people really watch concerts?"

"Star effect, the popularity of pop singers is even more exaggerated. This is considered pretty ordinary," Lin Yifan responds.

In his prime, seeing those superstar-level singers on TV, their concerts were attended by tens or even hundreds of thousands, so the audience here isn't much.

"Even ordinary singers draw such huge crowds? That's impressive."

Xiaofang really admires it, such a crowd isn't much different from the size of disciples in a large sect. To be embraced by so many people is quite a feat.

"Don't underestimate ordinary singers; these people all have the potential to become popular stars, just lacking an opportunity or a hit, widely known song for now."

A hit song is crucial for every singer; because only by gaining widespread recognition can you have a large number of fans. Once your fanbase grows to the top positions, you become a popular singer.

However, being a popular singer isn't as glamorous as it looks, because the deciding factor lies in the word "popular."

"Popular" refers to the present, indicating that a popular singer can only be popular for a time, not forever.

Everything has its lifespan, and singers are no exception. Without good songs to enrich their repertoire to boost popularity, their fame will gradually decline until they're replaced by up-and-coming talents in a thriving era.

Thus, the more famous you are, the greater the pressure, because you have to seize every opportunity to add "popularity," increasing appearances and boosting recognition, resulting in almost no time to rest for one hundred and thirty-six days.

And without time to rest, there's no time to create new songs; and a singer relies on songs to maintain their popularity, so if they don't work hard, they will quickly decline over one or two years, falling to the ranks of lesser-known celebrities.

Therefore, every popular singer doesn't have it easy; they cautiously tread every step, but eventually, they will be forgotten. So, many popular singers nowadays strive to make as much money during the short window of time they are popular.

Once enough money is made, continuing to be a popular star becomes irrelevant, because everyone will grow old one day, and this era is a face-focused period.

"They're working hard; everyone is fighting for their dreams!"

Xiaofang sighs with admiration; clearly, every band member on stage is working hard, igniting the audience below.

"As long as there's no regret!"

In this world, everyone is fighting for their dreams, so as long as there's no regret, it's worthwhile.

More people gradually arrive to watch the band's concert, and soon, a long line of dozens of meters forms behind Lin Yifan and Xiaofang, which is quite intimidating.

"Wow! Yifan, more and more people are coming to watch!"

Looking at the long line behind her, Xiaofang exclaims.

"Haha! Lively places always attract more liveliness!"

Lin Yifan simply smiles without commenting; because everyone is curious, and those drawn by the excitement might genuinely like the band or maybe just want to see what's happening, nothing more.

However, it doesn't matter whether they are true fans or passersby as long as they come; the band wins because the number of people determines the enthusiasm, which in turn determines their popularity.

After ten minutes or so, an unexpected commotion arises from behind.

Many people start to shout, not knowing what has happened.

"Beep-beep! Beep-beep!"

"Move! Move!"

The sound of a car horn and people yelling come one after the other from behind.

Upon hearing these sounds, the audience at the back of the street jumps to the sides, clearing a path, as they notice a speeding sports car driving towards them at full speed. If they don't move, they might put themselves in danger.

Their blood was stirred by the music, but an uninvited guest arrives from behind, making Lin Yifan quite annoyed.

When everyone behind him moves aside, Lin Yifan remains standing still.

He turns around, glaring with disgust at the speeding luxury sports car behind.

Seeing this, a man on the passenger side sticks his head out, shouting angrily, "Move! Move! If you don't want to die, get out of my way."

Lin Yifan stands firm, refusing to budge.

At this point, the sports car driver gets angry, accelerates sharply, and charges towards Lin Yifan, treating Lin Yifan's life as worthless.
