Li Chengyan also didn't expect things to turn out this way.
Li Chengyan held his phone, refreshing it repeatedly, and saw news about the tech company's opening, but it wasn't gaining much traction and quickly got buried.
In contrast, Bai Jingrui's fan meeting was being hyped up.
Bai Jingrui organized the fan meeting at his own expense.
Bai Jingrui prepared gifts for the fans.
Overwhelming news, all related to Bai Jingrui.
Not only was it lively online, but also in reality, it was bustling.
Nan Qiao and Li Yehan arrived at the scene together.
Nan Qiao was wearing a hat, and Li Yehan was also wearing a couple-styled hat with her.
Li Yehan put a mask on Nan Qiao: "Too many people, be careful of viruses."
Li Yehan also put on a mask and held Nan Qiao's hand as they walked in.
Their seats were VVVIP, right in the front, allowing a better view of Bai Jingrui's performance.
Nan Qiao stood up and said: "I'm going to the restroom, wait for me here." This content originates from *, My Virtual Library Empire.
Li Yehan wanted to follow her, but Nan Qiao pushed him back to sit down.
"Wait for me here. The restroom is just there, very close, don't worry." With that, Nan Qiao left.
Li Yehan had no choice but to sit there and wait for Nan Qiao to return.
Nan Qiao came out of the restroom and saw a not-so-tall, imposing figure, sneaky, wearing a mask and a hat, and dressed in thick clothes.
There was nothing wrong with the outfit, but his demeanor was too shady, making Nan Qiao feel he wasn't up to any good.
Nan Qiao walked forward, and several people came, making the passage somewhat narrow.
Two boys lost their balance and bumped into the shady person.
Nan Qiao watched with wide eyes, realizing this person was actually a martial arts practitioner.
While dodging, he also pulled the two boys away to prevent them from getting hurt.
This skill was exceptionally good.
Nan Qiao took out her phone and called Uncle Qin.
Before long, Uncle Qin came to the spot Nan Qiao had mentioned to find her.
"The person I just photographed for you, follow him later, find a chance to approach him, and see who he is. Today is my third brother's event; no trouble should occur."
"Miss, don't worry. I'll go find him now and keep a tight watch!"
Uncle Qin walked out, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, constantly searching.
Soon, he found the person Nan Qiao had mentioned.
A tall, lanky body, also not very tall.
Uncle Qin sidled up and stood next to the lanky person.
Uncle Qin holding a glow stick, waving it constantly, swaying along with the singing Bai Jingrui on stage.
Uncle Qin: "Buddy, you like Bai Jingrui too?"
The lanky person was startled and touched the mask on his face.
The mask was still on, so surely no one would recognize him.
The lanky person said distantly: "I really like Bai Jingrui. His action scenes are amazing, as if he can really fly. I didn't expect he could sing and even arranged a fan meeting. I have a high status level, so I could attend for free."
As he spoke, the lanky person sized up Uncle Qin: "At your age, you still chase stars?"
Talking is one thing, but why mention age?
Uncle Qin wasn't angry, maintaining a friendly demeanor, speaking in a way that made him seem easygoing.
"I like Bai Jingrui's action scenes too. There aren't many action stars like him anymore. It's my daughter who likes Bai Jingrui, which influenced me into liking him too."
"Your daughter has good taste," the lanky person praised.
Uncle Qin nodded cheerfully: "She sure does, she's got a keen eye for people."
The two started chatting back and forth, Uncle Qin naturally grasping the lanky person's arm, jumping around with him, the scene lively with excitement.
The lanky person thought he had found a kindred spirit, having a blast with Uncle Qin.
The two became fast friends, singing and dancing in unison.
At this moment, Nan Qiao glanced back, but quickly refocused.
Li Yehan asked in a low voice: "How's it going?"
"Uncle Qin is getting along well with him, as if they've known each other forever. Uncle Qin told me he tested him, and the person is indeed practiced in martial arts. Being so wrapped up, there must be a reason."
Li Yehan: "I messaged Director Nie to see if there are any criminals who haven't been caught lately, or if any have escaped."
Nan Qiao acknowledged: "You could ask about that."
Li Yehan held his phone, ready to catch any incoming news.
Li Yehan leaned into Nan Qiao's ear, his gestures intimate: "Qiaoqiao, no matter what happens, always hide behind me. Don't recklessly step forward; I'll handle everything."
Nan Qiao held one of Li Yehan's hands, leaned into his ear, her voice warm, tingling, and alluring.
"I understand," Nan Qiao whispered.
Li Yehan grasped Nan Qiao's small hand tightly, their eyes met, Li Yehan's deep black eyes were irresistible.
Nan Qiao quickly dodged, avoiding Li Yehan's burning gaze.
But her hand, held by Li Yehan, never let go.
"Li Yehan, let go of my hand first," Nan Qiao's hand tried to withdraw.
Yet Li Yehan gave her no chance to escape: "Qiaoqiao, I'm warming your hand."
He dares to say anything.
Li Yehan not only dared to say it, but also to do it.
Holding Nan Qiao's hand, he smiled happily.
Onstage, Bai Jingrui was singing and dancing energetically, the crowd was roaring, and glow sticks were waving nonstop.
The fans weren't tired; instead, they were even happier, their hands never stopping.
Nan Qiao withdrew her hand, took out her phone to take pictures, capturing the good times.
Nan Qiao was photographing Bai Jingrui, while Li Yehan photographed Nan Qiao, each engrossed in their own task.
Bai Jingrui noticed Nan Qiao taking his picture and danced even more vigorously.
Someone noticed Bai Jingrui constantly looking into the crowd, towards where Nan Qiao was seated.
[Who is that girl? Is she his girlfriend?]
[You noticed too, I've been watching since the beginning. He really keeps glancing at her from time to time.]
[Not to be rude, but what are you guys seeing? Didn't you notice there's a man sitting next to her? They're obviously a couple.]
[Just to avoid misunderstandings, I specifically recorded it on my phone. Look, the two were just holding hands.]
[What a relief, I was worried he was in a relationship.]
[We came to watch the concert today, don't start with those rumors, or people will think we don't allow him to date.]
A few people were whispering among themselves, and Nan Qiao heard them.
She immediately took hold of Li Yehan's hand, leaning on his shoulder.
Is there any room for misunderstanding now?
Li Yehan was both surprised and delighted. With Nan Qiao being so proactive, he wanted to be proactive too.
At this moment, by Uncle Qin.
The lanky person beside Uncle Qin waved the glow stick again, this time waving with both hands.
Waving and singing along, but the pitch was too off, making Uncle Qin's ears ache.
The lanky person was waving when something cold clicked onto his wrist.
