Chapter 61 The Most Suitable Candidate
With expert guidance, the tent-setting process was much faster.
Chen Yuan was in charge of securing the support frame, Lin Wanxing helped pull the tent fabric, and the other tourists were also setting up their own tents.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell into the canyon and spilled onto the soft sand. The sounds of tourists and camel bells mingled together, creating a heartwarming scene.
"Done!" With the last tent peg secured, Chen Yuan straightened up, rubbed his aching back, and then helped Lin Wanxing set up the remaining tent sections.
Before long, the two looked at the blue tent in front of them, their faces full of a sense of accomplishment: "It's finally set up!" Lin Wanxing said excitedly, and then went into the tent to take a look.
The next moment, she poked her head out of the tent and asked, "We don't have to spend the night here, do we?"
"Huh?" Chen Yuan was stunned. He hadn't really thought about this question before. He then opened the parchment to check.
"Oh, thankfully we don't need to. Tonight we'll head to a nearby town and then take a car back to the guesthouse," Chen Yuan said.
"That's good, because I felt this tent was a bit cramped for two people." Lin Wanxing said with an awkward smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, several tourists nearby enthusiastically called out, "Brother Yuan, Wanxing, we're about to have a barbecue, want to join us? We've prepared plenty of ingredients!"
Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately lit up, scratching their heads and smiling sheepishly.
Their food for tonight is just some bread and biscuits.
Before the two could speak, a beautiful woman interrupted their thoughts, saying, "Don't be shy! It's a rare opportunity to meet you both, and we're honored to have you join us!" With that, she pulled the two towards the barbecue area without further ado.
Several grills had already been set up in the barbecue area, the charcoal burning bright red, and the sizzling aroma of grilled meat wafted through the air.
The tourists had clear divisions of labor: some were responsible for turning the food over, some for arranging the seasonings, and others for setting up tables and chairs nearby.
Upon seeing Chen Yuan and Lin Wanxing arrive, everyone readily made room for them, leaving two empty seats.
"Then we won't be polite!" Lin Wanxing said with a smile, and seeing that the photographer had no objection, she quickly joined in.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan washed his hands and then helped with the barbecue.
With a beautiful female celebrity present, the boys in the room suddenly became very attentive, and soon they handed freshly grilled lamb skewers and chicken wings to Lin Wanxing.
"For me? Thank you!" Lin Wanxing took a lamb skewer from a boy, took a small bite, and her eyes lit up instantly. "Delicious! Even better than the barbecue stalls in the city!"
Upon hearing this, the boy became extremely excited and worked even harder.
Chen Yuan also grilled a skewer himself. He took a bite and found it to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a subtle spice flavor that suited his taste perfectly.
"Strange, is it because of the environment?" Chen Yuan felt that it tasted better than before.
Everyone chatted casually while they worked.
Most of the tourists are visiting Dunhuang, and after yesterday's music festival, the song "Crescent Bay" became incredibly popular.
Everyone present had attended yesterday's music festival and could be considered fans of the Starry Night band.
Chen Yuan and Lin Wanxing gradually integrated into the group, and aside from some recording content, they answered almost every question.
Everyone chatted happily, and before they knew it, the sun was gradually sinking below the horizon.
The sand dunes, canyons, and tents were all bathed in a warm glow, and the distant sand dunes shimmered like a river, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Other tourists immediately stopped what they were doing and took out their phones to take pictures, capturing the stunning sunset.
"It's magnificent! This trip to Dunhuang was totally worth it!"
"Watching the sunset with a celebrity, that's an experience I can brag about for the rest of my life!"
Looking at the scene before him, Chen Yuan marveled at the vastness of the world.
Soon, night fell, and the stars began to twinkle in the sky.
"So, it's starting?"
"Three, two, one~~"
As the countdown ended, everyone lit the campfire they had prepared in advance. The flames danced and the surroundings instantly became warm.
Next, several tourists put the prepared tables together, and everyone sat around the campfire, setting out the prepared snacks and drinks for a tea party.
Chen Yuan and Lin Wanxing were a little embarrassed, and only slowly sat down amidst everyone's enthusiastic support.
I ate and drank to my heart's content today; I really took advantage of others.
The atmosphere at the tea party was very relaxed, with everyone taking turns sharing their travel experiences and telling anecdotes.
A short while later, a guy wearing a white T-shirt took advantage of his girlfriend going to the restroom and quickly brought out the flowers and ring he had prepared with his friend.
"Wanxing, can I ask you for a favor?" The boy approached Lin Wanxing with a guitar in his hand.
"My girlfriend and I have gone through many ups and downs and gotten back together. I want to propose to her tonight. I originally wanted to sing her a song. She really enjoys watching your show and is a fan of you and Brother Yuan."
"Can you help me sing and play an instrument? I've prepared a lot of things to say to her." The boy looked at Lin Wanxing with pleading eyes.
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on it.
This scene excited the viewers in the live stream, who flooded the chat with comments.
The onlookers gasped in surprise, hoping that Lin Wanxing could help this handsome man.
Lin Wanxing took the guitar, her fingers lightly touching the strings, a troubled look on her face.
She turned to look at Chen Yuan, her eyes filled with obvious exhaustion and pleading, and whispered, "Chen Yuan, help me! I'm so tired right now, I'm not in the right state of mind, I can't ruin this moment for them."
Chen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "They asked you for help, you know."
"No, Yuan-ge is fine too, because my girlfriend likes Yuan-ge a lot too!" the boy said excitedly.
Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised, "I have someone who likes me?"
"Of course, there are plenty of people who like you," the boy said excitedly.
"Okay, I'll help you." Chen Yuan was silent for a moment before agreeing.
Just then, he needed an opportunity to pique Lin Wanxing's interest.
Chen Yuan took the guitar from Lin Wanxing and asked the boy, "What song are you going to sing?"
"I love you," the boy said nervously.
"Love you? It's a song that many people use to express their feelings," Lin Wanxing said.
"Is that so? Would you mind if I changed it to another song for you?" Chen Yuan said with a slight smile.
"Really? Okay, Yuan-ge, you decide." The boy nodded vigorously, took a deep breath, and waited for his girlfriend to return.
Looking at the expectant boy, Chen Yuan recalled the matter that had been on his mind.
After he decided to make his name known worldwide, he had a vague plan in mind: he needed a singer associated with his name to be active in the public eye.
Before this, he had no idea what to do.
He originally intended to discuss it with Li Xin after the show ended, but just now, he changed his mind. Isn't there a perfect candidate right in front of him?
Chen Yuan looked at Lin Wanxing.
She possesses idol-like looks and powerful singing skills, combining both good looks and talent. She has just risen to the top tier and already enjoys a certain level of fame.
Promoting Lin Wanxing to the ranks of superstars and associating his name with them can be considered a perfect move.
"Here he comes, here he comes, Brother Yuan." The boy's voice pulled Chen Yuan back from his thoughts.
