His Genius Wife is a Superstar

"Welcome back to MusicFest Tonight!" the male host said after the commercial break.

Wild, loud and desperate screams could be heard clearly from the audience. 

"We're now down to our final performers of the night," the female host spoke next. "I think you all know who they are, yes?"

"YEEEEEEEESSSS!!!"

"Hurry up!!! We can't wait anymore!!!"

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"

Male host: "Ladies and gentlemen! Performing their newly-released single together which immediately became a hit upon its debut earlier this week…"

Female host: "Please welcome the current music chart toppers, Jin Chonglin and Iris Long, singing…"

Both: "Passionate Flames!"

A line of light lit up the front edge of the dark stage.

Then a spotlight revealed Jin Chonglin.

The audience immediately went crazy as soon as he appeared. He didn't even do anything yet, just stood there in a simple, cool pose but the audience members were already acting as if he saved the world from the apocalypse or something.

Instead of his usual flashy performance costumes, he wore a simple outfit this time. Black tank top and military green cargo pants. Nevertheless, he didn't look boring. No, not at all! On the contrary, he looked very masculine in the simple outfit. The tank top fitted his upper body like a second skin, accentuating the V-shape of his upper body and his hard muscles, and making so many panties drenched by his oozing manliness and gorgeousness.

After the initial screams, the audience went quiet in anticipation for the other performer they had been waiting for as well. They held their breaths and focused their eyes on the still mainly dark stage, not wanting to miss a moment.

Then all of a sudden, they heard the sound of slow, steady footsteps. Another spotlight lit up on the stage but it wasn't like how it happened with Jin Chonglin. Instead, this particular spotlight aimed low and lit up a pair of black high-heeled ankle boots walking in time with the sound of the footsteps reverberating throughout the entire studio. Even though they couldn't see the entire person yet, the audience already knew who it was just based on the recognizable "I'm the queen" runway walk.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

The pair of high-heeled boots continued walking, headed Jin Chonglin's way. Then the two spotlights finally converged. When that happened, the entire stage lit up, finally revealing Iris Long posing beside Jin Chonglin.

She wore a similar outfit as him. Military green cargo pants riding low on her hips and black turtleneck leather tank top which showed off the lower half of her toned flat stomach without looking vulgar. If this kind of outfit was worn by other female performers, most of them would look slutty. On Iris, however, the complete ensemble made her look tough and bad-ass, like a boss, yet still feminine and elegant.

On the stage, Jin Chonglin and Iris Long along with the back-up dancers behind them were frozen in a cool tableau.

Then Jin Chonglin and Iris Long made a sharp move to face the audience, half-glaring and half-smizing at their crazily screaming fans.

Jin Chonglin raised a hand and started counting with his fingers.

"1, 2. 1, 2, 3! Here we go!"

Trumpet sounds blared all of a sudden mixed with an electronic beat. A muffled explosive sound effect followed when the short intro ended. The music started and everyone onstage began dancing to the smooth R&B melody blended with a catchy hip hop beat.

Jin Chonglin swept a hand towards Iris Long and started singing into his headset microphone. His voice was like warm caramel, making some of the ultra-sensitive members of the audience roll their eyes to the back of their heads, on the brink of powerful mindgasms.

"Waking up in this world

I looked around for something

I could catch a hold of

Surprised I was to find out"

Iris sang next, taking over the music seamlessly from Jin Chonglin, as if there was no separation in their perfectly harmonized voices.

"You were the one who grabbed my heart

And stole right it in front of my eyes

I could not even struggle at all

So why do I feel no regret at all?"

The music became richer as more instrumental elements were added. The beat became a little stronger, a little more urgent, a little more intense.

Jin Chonglin did a body roll while Iris Long tossed her long, wavy hair in the air just in time as the stage lit up with real fire. The fiery illumination made them look wilder, dangerous, and sensual.

The two were perfectly synchronized as they danced like a pair of lovers, making everyone, not just the Black Stars and Jin Chonglin's army of fans, go even wilder.

Jin Chonglin sang to his beautiful partner, thrusting his chest in a panty-drenching hip hop move.

"My heart is your possession

Yet I want it no other way"

Iris did the same move, looking alluring and graceful at the same time. Her voice rose higher, giving another dimension to the catchy melody.

"Your love is filling my heart

Filling me completely"

The two sang together.

"Just the way it's supposed to be!"

The heat from the fire surrounding them and the intensity of their movements made them sweat. It spritzed from their bodies every time they moved sharply, making all the people watching them feel breathless.

Iris dropped to the ground on her back while Jin Chonglin stood behind her. Every time he moved his hand, the part of Iris' body which was directly above it would move as well, as if his hand was holding a magnetic force.

Then the monitor behind the stage suddenly lit up and showed a fire phoenix rising from the point where Iris was lying on the ground.
