However, at this moment, almost everyone began to softly sing along with the music, displaying remarkable familiarity. This song, after its debut, has been reinterpreted by countless singers over the past eighty years. The people present might not know which movie it was from, but they recognized the melody. Even Zhang Yue joined in, playing the guitar while singing along. Qi Shejiang slowly smiled, and his eyes glistened slightly. It seemed to be another moment of bittersweet joy, but in that instant, it felt like the first time he saw traditional cross talk on television; he suddenly felt much better and seemingly let go. The studio was filled with the sound of the audience singing “The Song of the Wandering Singer,” just like eighty years ago.

Everyone could clearly feel that his attitude was different from many stars; it was beyond just being down-to-earth; it was as if he was truly cherishing everyone.

Although Qi Shejiang didn’t say it outright, everyone else assumed he was emotional and teary-eyed. Qi Shejiang seemed to have an epiphany, as if he had let go of some burden; this could be seen from his relaxed state while chatting casually with the fans. Zhang Yue felt quite happy about this. He quietly watched as Qi Shejiang finished interacting with all the fans, walked over in his direction, backlit, making it seem like there were little angels flying around him.
“Are you hungry?” Qi Shejiang happened to walk beside him. “I have a dinner appointment; otherwise, let’s go together.” “Sure.” Zhang Yue stood up.
