The Thunder God Drum is an ancient Dunhuang instrument, composed of twelve small drums arranged in a circle. When struck, it produces a majestic, compact, and invigorating sound.

Jiang Pan Die really likes the Thunder God Drum, which is also why she arranged this small segment.

This was originally her personal concert, with guests merely playing supporting roles. But Jiang Pan Die didn’t want Lin Tian to just walk on stage ordinarily, nor did she want him to simply wave and introduce himself.

Jiang Pan Die had imagined such a scenario in her mind, and it wasn’t suitable for Lin Tian.

So, this unique entrance was devised.

With every beat of the Thunder God Drum, accompanied by the spotlight, Lin Tian’s every step tugged at the hearts of the audience.

Unfortunately, Lin Tian was bowing his head, making it hard to see his features clearly,

"Wow, that’s so cool. Does anyone know who that is?"

"Did you notice, Pan Die’s clothes have a moon, and that guy has stars on his, it’s like couple outfits! Are they going to announce they’re dating?"

People’s imaginations are rich. To cultivate imagination, elementary school language exams even include prompts like ’write based on a picture’.

So, seeing the two people on stage, one being a much-admired idol, and the other a mysterious handsome guy.

It’s most inspiring for the imagination, and soon everyone agreed that even if the two on stage weren’t a couple, they were very close to being one. Otherwise, why would they be wearing ’couple outfits’ on stage?

However, until Jiang Pan Die officially announced it, all the fans’ hearts were suspended, eagerly anticipating the answer.

Thud!

The twelve small drums sounded simultaneously, their unified sound sent shivers through everyone, making their scalps tingle. It was at this moment that Lin Tian lifted his head, his gaze sharp and sweeping across the audience.

With thousands gathered, countless people held light yellow glow sticks, converging into a dazzling starry sea that was both stunning and exciting. He finally understood why so many people loved such stages.

It was truly spectacular!

Half of the cameras in the venue focused on Lin Tian, giving him a close-up on the arena’s big screen, revealing to the entire audience who this mysterious man was.

"Whoa? That seems like Lin Tian?"

"That is Lin Tian! How could it be him?"

Yes, how could it be him?

Lin Tian had been trending online for a while recently, but quickly became silent again. Besides appearing in a recruitment video released by Qiansimei’s official account, he rarely showed up online, not even having a messaging app account.

Now suddenly appearing at Jiang Pan Die’s concert was both surprising and delightful.

Lin Tian didn’t have a chance to greet the audience as the accompaniment had already started.

"See you not, the Yellow River comes from heaven, rushing to the sea never coming back. See you not, the mirror of the grand hall pities the white hair, in the morning like black silk, in the evening transforms to snow..."

With the rhythm of the music, the ’golden boy and jade maiden’ on stage began to sing simultaneously.

Lin Tian’s voice was magnetic, Jiang Pan Die’s was ethereal, their voices harmoniously blended, pleasing to the ear.

Li Bai could drink wine and persuade others to drink, and "Invitation to Wine" is a work immortalized in history, only he could make persuasion to drink so extraordinary.

Coupled with this grand and open composition, the applause was continuous.

"Five-flowered horses, a thousand gold furs, call the child to exchange for fine wine, to eradicate eternal sorrow with you!"

All the stage lights had long been fully illuminated, though none as dazzling as the two people on stage.

This arrangement of "Invitation to Wine" incorporated a large amount of rock and traditional elements, with the Thunder God Drum and electric guitar, flute and strings, complementing each other, stirring excitement while conveying the ancient elegance of national style.

Audience members below had their mouths agape, clapping red-faced. Some felt their scalps tingle, some broke into a cold sweat, others even forgot to breathe.

It’s not an exaggeration; this is the allure of rock!

The scene was once heated! Heated beyond what Jiang Pan Die, Zhou Wenhong, and everyone else had imagined.

They thought the effect during rehearsal was already great, but didn’t expect it to be even more surprising when presented on stage!

Life is beautiful because it’s full of surprises, isn’t it?

Jiang Pan Die held the microphone, looking at the audience a bit helplessly. She had never seen such a heated scene before, and she was sure it was all because of this guy beside her, his voice was just... too captivating!

It’s likely that after tonight, this version of "Invitation to Wine" would reign at the top of various music charts for a long time.

At this moment, a young woman holding two bouquets rushed over. One bouquet was for Jiang Pan Die, the other for Lin Tian.

The flowers were presented by a fan representative, meant to be delivered while they were singing, but she was completely entranced and only ran up after the song ended.

After presenting the flowers, the female fan hugged Jiang Pan Die, then opened her arms to tightly hug Lin Tian, causing the fans below to scream out again.

"One more song!"

"One more song!"

"..."

Fans screamed wildly, unanimously, hysterically expressing their desire, echoing throughout the arena.

Evidently, that performance of "Invitation to Wine" had captivated everyone, leaving them wanting more.

Jiang Pan Die waved to the audience and said with a smile, "Thank you all for liking our work, tonight will be a long night, there will be more than one song, oh."

The fans indeed stopped shouting but erupted in another wave of screams.

That’s the strong infectious power idols on stage possess; a word, a movement, even a smile can win a round of applause.

At this moment, Lin Tian took the microphone and said with a chuckle, "A mirror of the grand hall pities the white hair, in the morning like black silk, in the evening transforms to snow. Time passes quickly..."

Jiang Pan Die was a bit stunned, was he criticizing her? She had just said that there was plenty of time tonight...

Pfft~

Hahaha...

The fans below burst into laughter. He had been explosively handsome while singing, but how could he sound so cute when he spoke?

Previously, there might have been people who felt nothing about Lin Tian, but after one song, nearly everyone became a fan, having to admit this guy is truly lovable.

Jiang Pan Die secretly rolled her eyes at Lin Tian, then spoke to the fans below: "Let me introduce, this is my good friend and tonight’s guest: Lin Tian."

Lin Tian waved to the audience with a smile, "Good evening everyone, very happy to be on such a big stage, seeing you adorable folks, totally worth it!"

Pausing for a moment, Lin Tian chuckled again, "Do you want to know why I’m here tonight?"

"We do!" They shouted in unison.

"Hehe, actually it’s nothing, I was just invited to make a guest appearance. Also, let me tell you a little secret..."
