Avril also smiled and said, "When you achieve success in the future, I believe there will be a lot of people at your concert too." Li Yuhao nodded with a smile and said, "To reach this goal, I think I need to work even harder."
"Hehe... I believe in you, keep it up."
Li Yuhao followed Avril and her group to the stage of the gymnasium. Li Yuhao saw the vast, empty space of the gymnasium, which could seat tens of thousands of people. Standing on the stage, he closed his eyes and felt what it was like to be on a real stage. Li Yuhao took a deep breath, "One day, I will stand on a stage that belongs entirely to me, and let everyone shout my name."
Avril and her team were about to start the rehearsal, and Li Yuhao also went down to the stage to stand with his agent and Assistant Jin. The agent smiled and said, "I saw you feeling something on the stage."
Li Yuhao smiled at his agent and said, "Hehe... Yes, this is not my stage. I believe that one day I will have my own personal stage, and the entire stadium will shout my name."
Hearing Li Yuhao's words, the agent also smiled and said, "That day will come, I believe in you. Hehe... Let's watch Avril's performance first."
Avril did a rough rehearsal, mainly testing the equipment, lighting, and fireworks. In the middle, Li Yuhao was also invited on stage to sing her song "Complicated" with her. After the song ended, Avril smiled and said, "You sang well, I look forward to our formal collaboration tomorrow."
After saying this to Li Yuhao, Avril waved her hand, "Let's go, it's time to eat. LEE, will you join us for dinner?"
Li Yuhao smiled and shook his head, "No, I'll eat with my agent. I also need to buy some gifts to bring back to China."
"Gifts for your girlfriend? Hahaha... Okay, I won't keep you from buying gifts for your girlfriend." Avril then left.
Li Yuhao also felt embarrassed about leaving his agent and Assistant Jin. If he went to eat with Avril and her group, the two of them would have to fend for themselves.
Li Yuhao smiled at his agent and said, "Let's go, it's past 8 o'clock. We'll go eat and take a walk. When I left the airport today, I exchanged 2000 yuan. I'll treat you today."
The agent looked at Li Yuhao, "Where are we going to eat? Do you know the way?"
"I don't know, but I can ask. The taxi driver knows. Let's go." Anyway, no one in China recognized Li Yuhao, and even those who watched Korean shows were a small minority. So, Li Yuhao felt completely at ease walking around the streets.
Li Yuhao got out of the gymnasium and took a taxi with his agent directly to 'Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street,' a must-visit place for food lovers.
When they arrived at the pedestrian street, the agent and Assistant Jin looked at the dense crowd and the colorful neon lights and asked Li Yuhao, "Li Yuhao, this place feels like Myeongdong."
"Hehe, you can say that. This is the Myeongdong of this city. GOGOGO... Let's find some delicious food. Come on, Assistant Jin, let's eat to our heart's content today."
Li Yuhao led the two of them through the streets, eating non-stop. They had fresh shrimp wonton noodles, coconut ice cream, fish skin, radish and beef offal, beef肠粉...
The agent and Assistant Jin were so full that they sat on a stool and waved their hands, "Li Yuhao, I really can't eat anymore. My stomach is full. I feel like the food is stuck in my throat. I really can't eat anymore. If I eat more, I'll vomit."
"Can't handle it? Alright... I'll finish this double-layer milk pudding, and then we'll go back. Next time, we should find someone with a bigger appetite to come to the food street."
The agent immediately said, "Okay, okay, next time you find someone else. I'm too old to digest so much."
...
The next day, Li Yuhao was still sleeping in the afternoon when the doorbell rang. 'Ding dong... ding dong...' "Who's ringing the doorbell so late at night?" The curtains in Li Yuhao's room were all drawn, and the room was pitch black. Li Yuhao didn't realize that the sun was almost setting.
Li Yuhao got up groggily and opened the door, squinting at his agent, "Uncle, why are you here in the middle of the night?"
"Middle of the night? What middle of the night? You must be confused. It's already past 12 o'clock. Hurry up and get ready. We need to leave for the gymnasium in half an hour." The agent answered Li Yuhao and entered his room, pulling the curtains open.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, and Li Yuhao rubbed his eyes, "It's past 12 o'clock? I feel like I haven't slept long."
"Hehe... You've been catching up on sleep for a while now. Hurry up and get ready. Do you want me to make you a bowl of ramen?"
"Okay, thank you, Uncle. I'll get ready."
After washing up, Li Yuhao was fully awake. He sat on the bed and started eating the ramen. "Uncle, have you booked our flight back to China?"
"Yes, it's a night flight. We'll arrive in Seoul at 4:30 AM, and you have a shoot at 6:30 AM."
"What shoot? I thought my schedule was on hold?"
"The 'Yeoshinmanman' show. You owe them a shoot, remember? They're shooting tomorrow, so I scheduled you to make up for it. It's better to clear your debts. Then you can focus on preparing for your single."
Li Yuhao nodded, "Got it."
While Li Yuhao was eating the ramen, Avril arrived at his room, "You just woke up?"
"Yeah, just woke up. My schedule has been packed lately, and I've had very little rest. I finally got a good night's sleep yesterday. Have you eaten?"
Avril shook her head, "I had some breakfast, and I'll eat after the concert tonight. By the way, when are you going back to Korea?"
"After the concert, I'll go back to Korea. I have a TV show to shoot early tomorrow morning."
Avril smiled, "Hehe, got it. By the way, what's your phone number? I haven't saved it yet."
Li Yuhao gave her his number, and Avril wrote it down and called him, "Call me when you're in the U.S. I'll treat you well. Thanks for the song, LEE. Hurry up and eat. We need to go to the gymnasium soon."
After finishing his meal, Li Yuhao went to the concert venue with Avril. Avril started getting ready, and the band began the final adjustments. Li Yuhao sat in a waiting room backstage, lost in thought.
"Uncle, why did we come so early? My performance is at 9 PM, and it's only 2 PM. There are still seven hours left. I don't need to prepare, and my final rehearsal is at 7 PM."
"Ha ha ha... Do you think this is Korea? Even though you don't need to prepare, who will lead you in when the show starts? Everyone will be busy preparing. Didn't you see the number of fans outside the hotel yesterday? Today, those who can't get tickets will be outside. Who knows how many people will be out there? Just rest for now."
Li Yuhao nodded and lay down on the sofa to sleep. He slept until 7 PM when the staff came to call him for the final rehearsal.
At 7:40 PM, the stadium started letting people in, but there were too many people. The concert was originally scheduled to start at 8 PM, but due to the large crowd, it didn't start until 8:30 PM. By then, the stadium was only about two-thirds full. When the music started, the crowd erupted. The audience in the inner area stood on their seats and started swaying. After about two songs, the security finally let in the remaining people waiting in line at the entrance. It was understandable, as they had to calm the crowd outside and maintain a slow and tedious security check.
After dealing with the crowd outside, the security immediately maintained order inside, clearing out those without seats and forcing everyone to sit in their designated seats. Even standing and dancing on the floor was not allowed. It was clear that they were on high alert, wanting to bind all the fans to their seats to prevent any potential accidents.
Li Yuhao stood backstage, watching the audience and the charismatic Avril on stage. His heart was pounding with excitement.
The screams of the crowd, the waving glow sticks, and the chorus of thousands of voices made Li Yuhao feel the true charm of a star. At that moment, he really wanted to stand on the stage and feel the audience's enthusiasm, enjoy the music, and share the excitement and emotion... He really wanted to.
The concert's high points came one after another, and Avril was jumping and dancing on stage, non-stop.
Li Yuhao got to watch a fantastic concert for free. The concert was completely different from the venues where he usually performed, with the size of the venue and the number of fans. The fiery atmosphere, with tens of thousands of people shouting Avril's name, was so overwhelming that Li Yuhao fell in love with the stage.
Soon, the staff came to notify Li Yuhao, "LEE, get ready to go on stage after this song. Do your best."
Li Yuhao took a deep breath, "Phew... Finally, it's my turn!!"
