Urban Carefree Warrior God

A man, regardless of whether he is poor or rich, is a good man as long as he gives his all to shield you from the wind and rain, to be your most solid support. The magnitude of one's accomplishments isn't directly linked to their inherent ability; it also includes a great deal of luck and opportunity. But responsibility and accountability are things demonstrated through action. A man of responsibility and integrity is like a star in the night sky. He may be obscured by clouds, but he will eventually shine with a dazzling brilliance.

At this moment, in Qin Qiu's eyes, Chen Yang was that shining star.

Chen Yang could clearly feel Qin Qiu's tears soaking through her clothes and running down his chest. He didn't say anything else, simply holding the woman he loved most tightly in his arms.

For you… I would tear down a city's walls and not think twice.

After a long while, Qin Qiu finally let go of Chen Yang. Wiping the tears from her face, she asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Not yet."

With that, Chen Yang pulled Qin Qiu to sit beside him. He opened the bag, took out the food, and laid it neatly before her, joking, "Honey, it's all your favorite food! It might not be as delicious as my cooking, but you can make do for now. I'll cook for you tomorrow."

"You and your confidence," Qin Qiu said softly, her eyes filled with a tender smile.

Chen Yang patted his chest. "My confidence is backed by my ability."

"Yes, my husband is a man of great ability, and a great hero too!" Qin Qiu teased.

She didn't know it, but her casual joke was a prophecy. One day, not too far in the future, she would discover that this man, who was so utterly devoted to her and cared for her in every possible way, was in fact a true hero, celebrated by all.

"Of course!" Chen Yang accepted the compliment without a shred of modesty.

Qin Qiu rolled her eyes. "You're so shameless."

"Hehe…"

Then, changing the subject, Qin Qiu said, "Chen Yang, about that person who has been helping me in secret… I don't know who he is. I've recorded all the help he's given me in a notebook. When he finally reveals himself, I'll repay him in full, with interest."

This matter had been a topic of wide speculation at the company for a while now. Even though Chen Yang had never asked about it, Qin Qiu felt it was necessary to clear the air, lest any misunderstanding take root between them.

"I am indeed a little jealous!" Chen Yang feigned indignation before breaking into a grin. "But after hearing you say that, it doesn't matter anymore!"

Who gets jealous of themself? Besides, hearing her words made his heart swell with sweetness, as if he'd eaten honey. She's actually explaining herself to me. Haha!

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Qiu held her food container and eyed Chen Yang skeptically. "Are you snickering?"

Chen Yang waved his hands frantically. "Nothing, nothing, I'm not laughing. I was just wondering, who could this mysterious, all-powerful person be?"

"I don't know either, but he'll have to show his face eventually," Qin Qiu said with a hint of melancholy. She wasn't one to enjoy being indebted to others, yet she owed so much to this unknown person. Not even knowing his identity left her feeling rather uneasy.

「Three days of peace passed.」

That afternoon, Luo Sulan was fussing over her daughter. "Xiaomo, this is your first time on such a big stage, so don't be nervous. Just do your best; your mom will be right there in the audience watching you!"

"Just relax and let things flow naturally," Qin Qiu added with a smile.

Qin Mo nodded vigorously, but it was clear she was still nervous. It was only natural. Anyone facing an audience of tens of thousands for the first time would be.

Chen Yang stood to the side, staring at his phone with a speechless expression. Even at a time like this, Li Si was still pestering him about which evening gown looked best. It was clear she wouldn't let it go until he gave a definitive opinion. Resigned, he picked out a few for her.

"Hmph!" Luo Sulan shot Chen Yang a cold glance. "Is staring at your phone all you know how to do? Xiaomo is about to go on stage, and you can't even offer a few words of encouragement?"

"Xiaomo is exceptional. I'm sure her performance will be better than anyone else's," Chen Yang said with a smile, putting his phone away.

A grin spread across Qin Mo's face, and her nervousness eased considerably. "Thank you, Brother-in-law."

"Let's go, let's go! We can't be late for something this important." At Luo Sulan's urging, the group got into the car and headed straight for the stadium.

「Night fell.」

The first stop of Li Si's concert tour officially began at the Lingjin City Stadium. The massive stadium was completely packed, without a single empty seat in sight.

Other than Chen Yang, no one else in the venue knew that this would be Li Si's final appearance in Lingjin City as a singer. As word of this began to leak out, a shockwave passed through the crowd both inside and outside the stadium, and the atmosphere grew even more intense and passionate.

Although this wasn't Chen Yang's first time at one of Li Si's concerts, it would be his last.

BOOM!

A spotlight pierced the darkness, and Li Si, dressed in a light purple gown, walked out from backstage. Tall and poised, with exquisite makeup, she was breathtakingly beautiful even without a single piece of jewelry. Walking the stage alone, her immense beauty was tinged with a palpable sense of loneliness and melancholy.

The crowd of tens of thousands erupted in a deafening roar of applause, a thunderous sound that echoed endlessly.

"Li Si, we'll support you always! Go for it!"

"Go, SiSi! You can do it!"

The unified shout was so powerful it felt like it could blow the roof off, a sound as majestic as ground-shaking thunder.

Tears streamed down Li Si's face, but she bloomed with the most beautiful smile. "Hello, everyone. I'm Li Si. Thank you all for coming to my concert."

She gave a deep bow, then walked along the edge of the stage, waving to every corner of the audience. Subtly wiping away her tears, she returned to the center of the stage and spoke slowly, "Thank you all for your constant support over the years. You are the ones who made me who I am today! At the same time, I want to give special thanks to one person!"

As she spoke, her gaze flickered toward Chen Yang, lingering for just two seconds before moving on. "From the moment I entered this industry, he has always watched over me, like a big brother protecting his little sister. Throughout this journey, I've faced many difficulties and crises, and he was always the one who helped me overcome them."

"He never asked for anything in return, nor did he want anything from me. He treated me like a real sister."

"And if he hadn't been in my life, the Li Si you see today wouldn't exist."

Her deep emotions brought tears to her eyes. Li Si choked out, "But I can't treat him like a brother, because…"

"I love him!"

"I love you! Did you hear me?"

The entire stadium fell into complete silence. Countless people in the audience felt her pain, their eyes welling up with tears. Once you enter this mortal world, you can never escape the ties of love. This love, however, was tinged with profound sadness.

"My heart, you understand; you have your burdens,

And I understand them, too.

In an endless ocean, love and hate arise…

…

Wild geese take flight in autumn, a gaze upon the worldly shore,

I love you, and I will never regret it."

The opening song conveyed a story of endless, deep love and lifelong devotion.

Chen Yang's gaze was unfocused, his heart a storm of mixed emotions. Beside him, Qin Qiu suddenly grabbed his hand. She didn't say a word, just held on tightly.

Chen Yang squeezed her hand in return.

Having you in this life is more than enough.
