At 4:30 in the afternoon, Ning Youguang and Gu Xi had some food at a restaurant, then took a taxi to the concert venue.
As they neared the venue, Gu Xi was engrossed in her phone, and Ning Youguang asked curiously, "Aren’t you a bit carsick? Why are you still on your phone?"
"I’m temporarily blocking my colleagues, refusing overtime work!"
...
Soon, the taxi stopped near the venue.
Due to traffic ahead, the driver couldn’t precisely drop them off at their destination.
They had to get off early and walk to the venue.
After getting out, they hadn’t walked far before they saw the venue was crowded with people, the entrance was packed, and fans lined up from the venue entrance all the way a mile out, directly causing traffic congestion on the road outside.
No wonder the car couldn’t get in.
"Are there so many people already?" Ning Youguang was surprised.
"Our brother is a top superstar, this number of people is normal." Gu Xi replied calmly.
"Should we line up to go in now?" Ning Youguang asked.
"Let’s go to the bathroom first. Based on my years of experience watching concerts, a concert of ten thousand people takes at least half an hour to use the bathroom before the show starts."
At this moment, Gu Xi’s advantage as a devoted fan showed.
The venue’s bathroom was indeed crowded.
When they came out of the bathroom, twenty minutes had already passed.
As soon as they came out, Gu Xi pulled Ning Youguang towards a mobile coffee stand she had her eye on.
"Didn’t you bring water?" Ning Youguang asked, looking at the bag Gu Xi was carrying.
The bag was filled with support items Gu Xi prepared for them, along with food and drinks.
"You don’t know, do you? Watching concerts, iced Americano is essential."
After buying the coffee, they finally stood at the end of the main queue, obediently lining up to enter the venue and find their seats.
While waiting to enter, Ning Youguang noticed Zhou Tang’s concert theme was "Summer Light Years."
Just as Ning Youguang was staring at the advertisement outside, a friendly greeting suddenly came to her ears: "Hey beauties, are you Sugar Fans too?"
Zhou Tang’s fan nickname is "Tangtang," and his fans are affectionately called "Sugar Fans."
Whether it’s "Tangtang" or "Sugar Fans," there’s undeniably a sweet vibe about them!
Ning Youguang turned her head to see two girls wearing matching black T-shirts designed for fan support.
They were holding a huge black plastic bag filled with concert support items, like hand banners, light signs, glow sticks, and more.
"I’m not..."
"Take these." One of the girls handed over two light signs without a word, "Remember to wave them later, we need the stars to shine brightly for our brother walking towards the summer light years."
The light signs were printed with cartoon letters saying "Tangtang, I love you [red heart]"
"..." Ning Youguang.
After handing over the light signs, the girls continued with their sweet voices reminding:
"No matter what unexpected situation occurs tonight, please Sugar Fans pay attention to your emotions and behavior, fan actions reflect on the idol, don’t cause trouble for our brother～"
"Don’t let passersby say we’re lacking manners～"
After carefully advising, they then moved on to the next target.
Ning Youguang hurriedly called them back: "Sorry, we have our own support items, these light signs you should..." give them to other fans.
Unfortunately, before she finished, Gu Xi interrupted, "Thank you for the light signs, we will use them."
After the two girls left.
Ning Youguang looked at Gu Xi, feeling a headache: "We have glow sticks, hand banners, why do we still need light signs?"
"Then later I’ll give some glow sticks to other fans."
"Why must it be light signs?"
The problem is, it’s so embarrassing with that content!
"Because if I hold up a light sign, brother knows we came for him." Gu Xi’s expression beamed, as if she were looking at a sweetheart.
They continued waiting in line for a little while.
Ning Youguang’s phone rang from inside her bag, she took it out to see:
[Incoming Call: Zhou Tang]
She quickly concealed the phone and stepped away from Gu Xi before answering the call.
If the surrounding fans inadvertently saw the incoming name on her phone, they’d probably not be surprised, thinking it’s just someone with the same name as their idol, definitely not guessing it’s Zhou Tang himself.
But Gu Xi would be different!
"You Guang." Zhou Tang’s deep voice came through the phone, sounding like a soft melody.
Truly a great voice.
"Brother Zhou, it’s me." Ning Youguang smiled.
This was Zhou Tang’s first time calling her.
"Where are you? It’s so noisy."
The sound from Zhou Tang’s end was also equally chaotic.
"At the venue entrance."
"You arrived so early?" Zhou Tang asked, puzzled.
"Yeah, there are too many people, worried that if we’re late, we can’t get in."
"Would you like to come backstage? If you do, you can access the stage easily when the show begins."
Ning Youguang was silent for a moment, looking at Gu Xi.
Zhou Tang’s offer did not really move her.
But if Gu Xi knew there was a chance to go backstage and take pictures with her beloved idol and she blocked it,
In the coming days, she’d probably want to kill.
Her.
"Will it disturb your preparations?" She asked after thinking it over.
"Not at all, I’ll have my assistant come to get you." Zhou Tang’s voice sounded joyful over the phone.
"Alright, then my friend and I will wait in a less crowded area?" Ning Youguang worried Zhou Tang’s assistant might get recognized by fans.
"Yes, I’ll have him call you."
After hanging up, Ning Youguang pulled the confused Gu Xi aside.
She didn’t directly tell Gu Xi that Zhou Tang’s assistant would come to take them backstage.
But when Xiao Qian appeared in front of them, wearing a mask and hat, even Gu Xi’s academic brilliance finally kicked in, she excitedly covered her mouth, looked at Ning Youguang, eyes sparkling.
Ning Youguang pressed her lips into a smile, nodding.
Gu Xi immediately jumped up, hugged her tightly. 1314
