Chapter 615 - 219: Turmoil at the Concert, Jay Chou’s Invitation - Part 2
Last time, those few lines of the song really got to Qi Siyu. It was like a soul-hooking chain had latched onto her, making her unable to stop thinking about me...
Images of his heart-stopping encounter with Qi Siyu in the office sprang to mind, and Li Yuan’s body jolted. He hastily banished the improper thought. He had already promised Zhong Tingyue that he wouldn’t go out flirting around...
Li Yuan smiled and suggested, "Little Moon, I think we should wear masks. Otherwise, we might be recognized wherever we go, and we’d have no privacy at all."
Zhong Tingyue nodded in deep agreement. When she shopped alone, she often wore a mask to reduce the chances of being approached. Even so, men still hit on her frequently. In just over a month at university, she had been approached more than a hundred times.
Listening to Li Yuan’s advice, Zhong Tingyue chuckled softly. "Hehe, Senior, it’s just that you’re too famous. You run into your fans everywhere you go."
"Can’t be helped, I’m just that outstanding. From the way those female fans look at me, you’d think I was a piece of Tang Monk Meat they wanted to devour." Li Yuan spread his hands and joked, "Luckily, I have a great beauty like you by my side. Your looks are enough to scare them away."
Zhong Tingyue’s eyes curved into crescents as she snorted, "Hmph, Senior, you’re so narcissistic, but you really know how to make a girl happy."
"I’m just telling the truth, Little Moon. Believe it or not, if you weren’t by my side, tons of girls would come up to ask for my contact information."
Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes at Li Yuan, her lips curving into a faint smile, but she didn’t answer. He was right, after all.
Li Yuan took her hand and grinned. "Little Moon, let’s go find a scalper and buy some tickets."
There were plenty of scalpers in front of the sports arena. Before Li Yuan even had a chance to ask around, one selling second-hand tickets approached him. In the end, after confirming the tickets were authentic, Li Yuan spent 6,000 yuan on two floor seats right at the front of the concert. Spending 6,000 yuan on a concert in 2008 was definitely not cheap.
Li Yuan held up the tickets, an excited smile on his face. "Little Moon, these seats are really close to the front. We might even get to high-five Jay Chou tonight!"
Seeing Li Yuan’s excitement, which was like that of a star-struck fan, Zhong Tingyue couldn’t help but tease, "Senior, something feels a bit odd."
"What’s odd?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.
Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and smiled. "Hehe, it just feels like one celebrity chasing after another."
Li Yuan was speechless and said self-deprecatingly, "What kind of star am I? At best, I’m just a college student who’s been in some tabloids. There’s no way I can compare to a superstar like Jay Chou."
A strange light shimmered in Zhong Tingyue’s eyes. She squeezed his hand tightly, cheering him on. "Senior, don’t sell yourself short. You’re already fantastic, and in my heart, you’re the most amazing. Keep it up! I believe that one day, you’ll reach that level, or even surpass them."
Li Yuan gave a wry smile. "Little Moon, you have more confidence in me than I have in myself."
Zhong Tingyue giggled back, "Of course! You’re the omnipotent Xia Hua, after all! Right, Xia Hua?"
Li Yuan wrapped an arm around Zhong Tingyue and reached out to gently pat her pert behind, laughing. "Little Moon, does your butt hurt now? Let’s see if you dare to make fun of your husband again."
Zhong Tingyue feigned a pitiful look. "Ah, mercy, husband! I won’t dare to do it again!"
The two wandered around the arena for a while, buying snacks, glow sticks, and other things. They also picked up a concert setlist. Then, wearing their masks and walking arm-in-arm, they had their tickets checked and went to their front-row seats.
The Modu Arena was massive. The front-row floor seats Li Yuan had bought for 6,000 yuan were in a prime location, right in the first row to the side of the stage.
"Little Moon, our seats are right here."
Zhong Tingyue sat down, pressing close to Li Yuan. She pulled out her pink and white mobile phone and excitedly took a few photos of the stage and the surrounding crowd, showing them to him. "Senior, there are so many people here today. It’s going to be really lively later, right?"
Seeing how excited she was, Li Yuan smiled. "Of course. This is a Jay Chou concert; it’s normal for there to be a huge crowd."
"Hehe, Senior, can we take a photo together?" Zhong Tingyue glanced at Li Yuan, raising her phone with a hopeful expression. Since the start of university, whenever they were together, she always made a point to take pictures of him and selfies of the two of them.
Li Yuan smiled indulgently. "Of course."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Tingyue took off her mask and leaned her head close to Li Yuan, holding up the phone and striking a pose. Seeing this, Li Yuan also removed his mask, smiling and copying her pose.
CLICK!
The shutter button was pressed, and their picture appeared on the phone.
"Senior, quick, look! How did it turn out?" Zhong Tingyue excitedly showed the photo to Li Yuan.
"Let me see."
Li Yuan looked at their selfie on the phone. Although the image wasn’t as sharp as those from the high-pixel phones of the future, it had a unique, hazy beauty characteristic of this era. A thought struck him, and he suddenly recalled the feeling he had when looking through his girlfriends’ QQ Spaces. Each of them was documenting every little moment they spent together. Yet, in his own QQ Space, there wasn’t a single trace of any of them.
