Bai Xingchen's appearance was definitely the biggest surprise of the concert. She is a top-tier star in the entertainment industry, and her appearance not only indirectly confirmed her relationship with Xu Zifan, but also added a lot of color to the Beidouxing concert.
Their song also documented their love story, and the blushing and heart-pounding emotions, combined with the various photos of the two looking at each other and laughing on the big screen, truly stirred the hearts of their fans! It felt like watching a sweet idol drama come true, witnessing someone else's happy love, and you couldn't help but feel happy too, experiencing an indescribable excitement and joy.
The entire song has a cheerful melody, as light, sweet, and joyful as Jay Chou's "Confession Balloon." Their lyrics touch the hearts of lovers even more deeply, seemingly lifting the spirits and allowing listeners to feel their happiness. Even after finishing the song, Xu Zifan didn't let go of Bai Xingchen's hand, and instead shouted to the audience, "Where are my fans? Stand up so I can see you, okay?"
"Great!!!" Xu Zifan had the most fans, almost 10,000, most of whom were in the middle, standing up and waving glow sticks, which looked spectacular.
Xu Zifan smiled at Bai Xingchen and looked at her, saying, "We're filming the last episode of 'Romantic Trip for Couples.' Do you remember when you confessed your feelings to me while we were watching the aurora?"
Bai Xingchen was a little surprised that he would say these things, because this was something that hadn't happened during the rehearsal. After the performance, she was supposed to say goodbye and leave, so how did they end up talking? But she reacted quickly, tilting her head and smiling, "I remember, that was the first time I confessed my feelings. We even promised to be together forever, of course I remember."
Xu Zifan said, "At that time, we were recording a show. Although many people watched that episode, everyone was still guessing whether we were really together. Some people even suspected that we were acting for the sake of the show and praised our acting skills."
Bai Xingchen had a vague feeling that Xu Zifan was about to officially go public, and a sense of nervousness rose in her heart. She looked at Xu Zifan questioningly, and when Xu Zifan raised an eyebrow in response, she took a deep breath and said, "Although our acting skills are indeed very good, this is really not acting. We are clearly really together!"
"Ahhh! It's true!!!" The fans were incredibly excited, and even those who weren't Xu Zifan's fans cheered along.
Xu Zifan continued, "You gave me a really big surprise that time, and I want to give you a surprise too. Of course, the surprise isn't today, and the timing is a secret for now. Today, I just want to announce loudly to everyone at my first concert that Bai Xingchen is my girlfriend, both on the show and in real life. The day I went to my hometown to have dinner with my mother was the first day we officially became a couple! I hope to receive everyone's blessings!"
Xu Zifan raised Bai Xingchen's hand and smiled at the fans below the stage. His fans, of course, cheered and offered their blessings! After all, he had clearly stated during the talent show that he wanted to date, get married, and have children, and had emphasized this several times since. He emphasized that none of his fans were "girlfriend fans," and the fans of the other members wouldn't object to him dating either. They all waved their glow sticks and cheered along. At that moment, the Big Dipper emblems on their heads looked like a vast sea of stars, a truly beautiful sight from the stage!
Xu Zifan held Bai Xingchen's hand tightly and said with a smile, "Today, receiving everyone's blessings for me and Xingchen amidst this sea of stars feels especially meaningful."
Bai Xingchen smiled at her fans, "Thank you for your blessings. We will be fine and continue to be happy."
Xu Zifan said, "How about we let Xingchen sit in the VIP seats to watch the last performance of the day?"
"good!!"
Bai Xingchen smiled. "I'm also a fan of the Big Dipper. Keep it up, darling!"
Bai Xingchen tiptoed and kissed Xu Zifan on the cheek, then walked off the stage amidst the cheers of the fans and sat down in the front row in the seat reserved for Xu Zifan. Next to her was Xu Yuqin. As soon as Bai Xingchen sat down, Xu Yuqin took her hand, her face full of smiles. The photographer gave them a shot, and the fans screamed again.
Xu Zifan had already quickly changed his clothes backstage and returned to the stage with the other members to sing a song they had recorded but hadn't released yet, a treat for the fans in the audience. It was another high-energy, explosive song; the fans hadn't even recovered from their previous excitement when they heard their idols' new song again—they truly felt they'd made the right choice coming!
After Xu Zifan and his group finished their farewell performance, the fans all shouted "Encore!" They were so reluctant to see it end. How could such a wonderful concert end so quickly? Two and a half hours was definitely not enough. They wanted to see more and hear the boys sing more!
For the encore, Xu Zifan and his team only prepared one song, a song they had collaborated on during the "Idol Birth" competition. When the fans chanted "Encore!", they all changed into the light blue uniforms of Class A from "Idol Birth," each adorned with an "A" badge symbolizing their top rank! They were chosen during the audition, and when they came on stage in these outfits, the fans cheered. When they started singing, many fans even cried.
This is a shared memory for the group and all their fans. Back then, they were filled with uncertainty about the future, but they had boundless enthusiasm and unwavering dedication to their dreams. They occasionally underperformed, and some even spent time in the lowest-ranked class (F). They experienced lows and periods of despair, but it was the unwavering support of their fans that gave them endless motivation, ultimately leading them to become the Beidou Star boy group and successfully debut.
They were chosen by their fans, and their gratitude and heartfelt emotions towards them are expressed through what?
They may not be able to express it in words, but their songs and their eyes can convey it. Their encore performance on this stage, with this song and this look, is the best way to express this feeling.
The fans completely understood what they meant. Many were moved to tears, unable to explain why, but in such a scene, they simply felt an urge to cry and couldn't hold back. The seven members of Beidouxing sang with smiles throughout, but the cameras captured the expressions on each of their faces. Their faces were streaked with tears, and their eyes were red. They expressed all their gratitude through their singing.
Seeing their performance touched the fans even more deeply. They realized their idols remembered their kindness and were moved by their support. Unwavering loyalty between fans and idols is often a legend, but at least for now, they were there, in the audience, watching their idols perform so passionately. They were truly moved. They could never regret supporting such idols; the Beidou Stars are definitely worth supporting.
The way Beidouxing sings the same song now is several levels higher than when they were on "Idol Birth," almost like they've gone from trainees to mentors. This huge improvement is the best answer they can give to the national producers. They're telling their fans that they made the right choice in selecting them; they've been working hard since their debut, they're all flying towards their dreams, and they truly deserve it!
The concert for 50,000 people truly ended when that song finished. Beidouxing smiled and waved as she slowly descended from the rising platform. The colorful stage lights went out, and all the lights in the venue came on. Fans were reluctant to leave; some were still calling for an encore, and some were crying. The president of Beidouxing's fan club wiped away her tears and quickly arranged for volunteers to soothe everyone's emotions, maintain order, and have everyone clean up the trash, leaving in an orderly fashion from the outermost rows.
With order maintained, the fans stopped lingering and cleaned up the area around their seats. Then, they lined up, glancing back at the group photo of the seven members of Beidouxing on the big screen, before slowly leaving. When only the president and twenty volunteers remained, they carefully arranged all the movable seats neatly and checked one last time for any missing trash before finally departing with peace of mind.
A staff member witnessed this scene, filmed the fans' behavior, and posted it online. The spotless cleanliness of the venue immediately garnered praise online. #BeidouxingFansCulture# became the first trending topic. With 50,000 people in attendance, their entry and exit were so orderly, and they even tidied up the venue themselves – their organization and discipline were truly remarkable!
Many idols' fans are labeled as a cult by the general public, just like Pan Yu's fans who indiscriminately attacked others, causing the public to dislike Pan Yu as well. However, the fans of Beidouxing have displayed such high civility that the general public feels a sense of goodwill towards them, a subtle and inexplicable respect. Especially since Beidouxing has also curbed scalping and prevented fans from buying overpriced tickets, they have won over many people.
Furthermore, with permission from Beidouxing's management company, some major fans released several short videos from the event. Seeing how well Beidouxing performed, how strong their abilities were, and how much they had improved, netizens' positive feelings towards them increased even further. This chain reaction led to Beidouxing gaining many new casual fans.
Following this, the hashtag #StarrySkyRelationshipPublic# also trended on social media, with photos of the two gazing at each other and singing together on stage going viral. Their black and white outfits, both adorned with small rhinestones, looked perfectly matched. One is handsome, the other beautiful, and they even have a strange resemblance; they truly are a golden couple, growing more and more compatible the more you look at them.
The video of Xu Zifan saying he wanted to be in a relationship has resurfaced, and netizens are overwhelmingly praising him. This shows that an idol who keeps his word and is eager to find love is a breath of fresh air in the idol industry. Many people are saying that it's not a big deal if an idol is in a relationship; seeing him so happy makes them feel sweet inside. Why force idols to stay single until their thirties before they can date?
Xu Zifan's public announcement of his relationship didn't cause a loss of fans, sparking a discussion about redefining the standards for idols in China. The national circumstances and public opinions differ between China and other countries. Many believe that respected veteran artists with both talent and virtue can be idols, and equally so can popular young stars like Xu Zifan who consistently stay on the right path. They act as guiding lights, illuminating and directing the way for many fans, giving them courage and motivation.
They set the best example for their fans; isn't that what idols are all about?
