Chapter 692 Daily Life 43
"Huh?" Lu Wantang exclaimed in surprise, "There are more?"
Chang Yun had a strong premonition that this small box was probably the gift that Chu Kong had given to Lu Wantang.
In that case, it's inappropriate for him to be the one to dismantle it.
Chang Yun tried her best to adjust her expression, making herself look very calm and composed.
"This is the last one. Open it yourself and take a look."
"Oh."
Lu Wantang took the box; the bow on it opened almost instantly.
There was a bracelet in the box.
The overall color is purple, giving it a gentle and romantic look.
Avoiding the shadows cast by the two figures and placing it in the sunlight, its colors become dazzling and vibrant.
Just by looking at the brilliance, you could tell this bracelet was no cheap item. Chang Yun exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually a purple diamond!"
A true purple diamond, not the amethyst commonly referred to as a 'purple diamond'.
Although they are all relatively small purple diamonds, they are designed extremely well, with each one placed perfectly. Purple diamonds are even more precious than red diamonds...
The total value of this bracelet is definitely over a million.
Below the bracelet is a card that says the bracelet's name is 'Violet', along with a blessing for Lu Wantang.
It looks like it was written by Chu Kongshou.
Lu Wantang subconsciously asked, "Do concert favors always have to be this level of gift?"
Chang Yun: “…”
If everyone were to give gifts like this, singers wouldn't want to hold concerts.
Although she really didn't want to say that it was a gift from Chu Kong alone, it would be even worse if Lu Wantang misunderstood.
"No, this is clearly a gift from Chu Kong specifically for you."
"It's neither my birthday nor a holiday, why did he suddenly give me this?"
Before Chang Yun could ask whether the gift should be returned, Lu Wantang sent a message to Chu Kong herself.
They were probably really busy over there, because it took almost half an hour for Chu Kong to reply.
His reply essentially said that the brand that designed the bracelet happened to be the one he had recently become an ambassador for, and because of the ambassador's internal discount, the bracelet was not expensive.
Moreover, this is a thank-you gift, expressing gratitude to Lu Wantang for writing several songs and looking forward to continuing our collaboration in the future.
Chu Kong: [Consider this my way of currying favor with Tangtang in advance, so if you don't accept it, I might not be able to sleep tonight.]
Chu Kong types at lightning speed.
Lu Wantang read through each message one by one and finally replied with an "OK".
Neither she nor Chu Kong lacked money, and since the latter had already said so, there was no need to go back and forth over a gift that might be a little expensive.
So when Chang Yun asked what to do with the gift, Lu Wantang simply showed him the chat history.
He said it was a thank-you gift.
Chang Yun stared at the screen for a long time without blinking, then secretly pursed his lips.
If it's really a thank-you gift, there's no need to include it in the merchandise or send it as a souvenir from the concert. Why not just give it away openly?
Is it too extravagant to give a genuine purple diamond bracelet as a thank-you gift?
And what's with this nickname? Shouldn't she be called "sister"? Why is she just called "Tangtang"?
Chang Yun had a lot of complaints he wanted to vent, but seeing Lu Wantang's expressionless face, he couldn't tell whether she hadn't noticed or wanted to gloss over the issue.
So in the end, all I could manage to say was, "It's fine."
"Are you going to wear it today? I'll have Xiao Song bring you an outfit in the same color."
"Row."
Lu Wantang did not refuse.
You can't just never wear a gift that someone gives you.

At 5 p.m., ticket checking and entry for the concert began.
Lu Wanxing had already gone to the backstage area of the venue.
Lu Wantang was led into the venue by staff half an hour before the start.
With her were Chang Yun and Song Mian.
The two stood on either side of each other, some distance apart.
Lu Wantang only realized after sitting down that her seat was right in the middle of the entire venue.
Fortunately, there were dozens of VVIPs sitting in the front row, all on single sofas, so no one could usually go around to the front to see who was sitting there.
She felt a little relieved and focused on watching the concert.
Chu Kong's opening move was a graceful and swift leap down from a cloud ladder, which was very cool and showed that he had practiced countless times.
The first few songs are basically his signature works.
As long as it's not the rap part, most people in the audience can sing along.
After a few songs, Chu Kong, still full of energy from singing and dancing, inevitably looked a little tired.
As he adjusted his breathing, he greeted the people who had been divided into twenty or thirty sections.
Once his breathing had calmed down, he began to deliver his 'lines':
"As everyone knows, this is the first show of my Four Continents Tour, and a good start is very important."
"So many people are guessing who my first guest will be—"
Seeing the continuous cheers from the audience, he made a gesture of raising his hand to press down, "Please calm down, everyone... Next, I will invite my first guest, who is also my best friend—"
He drew out his words, and the room fell silent.
"Lu Wanxing!"
The lift slowly rose, bringing Lu Wanxing, dressed in all black, onto the stage.
Chu Kong was dressed in white at this moment, a white gauze cloak that looked like snow-white wings under the light.
The sight of two people, one in black and one in white, standing together is both stunning and visually striking.
A burst of cheers erupted from the audience.
"Would you like to introduce yourself first?" Chu Kong glanced at him sideways.
Lu Wanxing stood beside him, nodded, and then bowed forward.
"Hello everyone, I am Lu Wanxing."
A single word, a smile, and it elicited a constant stream of screams.
Lu Wantang could vaguely hear someone behind her saying something about 'dimples'.
Yes, her younger brother is indeed very handsome.
"We're supposed to be best friends, but it seems like we've never officially shared the stage before. This time, we finally have the chance."
The two exchanged a glance, and Chu Kong gestured for Lu Wanxing to speak.
The latter adjusted his headset. "Yes, I'm honored to receive Brother Chu's invitation... We're going to sing 'The Night Asks the Day' next."
Chu Kong added, "It's also one of Wanxing's most famous works."
The two of them fell silent at the same time, and the lights dimmed considerably.
Two figures, one in black and one in white, stood on either side, creating a striking yet harmonious contrast.
A familiar melody, full of evocative storytelling, begins to play.
Chu Kong sang first:
'The face of the vulture in the sky'
……
'Day and Night Line After the Fifty-Third Day'
The way he sang this song had his own unique style, which was very different from Lu Wanxing's.
Lu Wanxing's rendition of the verses was full of a sense of suppressed narrative, while Chu Kong's rendition was more calm and restrained, giving a feeling of loneliness.
The scene grew increasingly quiet.
Next, it was Lu Wanxing's turn to sing:
'Wait for night to ask day'
……
'Climb over the mountain peak/Make a funny face with me'
Clearly, after a long period of honing and practice, Lu Wanxing's singing skills have improved again.
Even when singing a minor climax, he no longer rushed to showcase his skills, but instead prioritized emotion, continuing the suppressed pain of the verses, truly achieving 'technique hidden within emotion'.
