The Concert Begins

The Concert Begins

After several attempts by Lin Yuan, the little squirrel went from being wary at first to finally allowing Xiao Ke to touch it.

Xiao Ke happily revealed her two little canine teeth.

Lin Yuan had originally wanted to leave, but seeing that Xiao Ke seemed to want to spend a little more time with the squirrel, he decided to wait a while longer.

It seemed that because she had been gone for so long, her family had grown worried and gone out to look for her. Someone in the distance was calling Xiao Ke's name.

"Big Sister, I'm here!"

Xiao Ke called out in a childish voice toward the sound.

That shout startled the little squirrel.

It climbed up the banyan tree and vanished from sight.

Xiao Ke's face was full of reluctance and regret.

I shouldn't have called out if I'd known.

In the distance, a girl hurried over.

"Xiao Ke, why haven't you gone home yet? I was worried sick."

The girl was very pretty and wore a white dress like Xiao Ke.

Her cheeks were rosy and plump, making her look rather adorable.

Her hair was tied into twin ponytails, with a pink butterfly hair clip on top.

After approaching, the girl warily glanced at the unfamiliar Lin Yuan.

"Big Sister, I got to touch the little squirrel just now!" Xiao Ke jogged over to her sister.

"Squirrels are covered in bacteria. Be careful it doesn't bite you, or you'll have to get rabies shots."

Xiao Ke's sister scolded her, then crouched down and quietly asked who the boy with her sister was.

"Xiao Ke doesn't know either. When I came here, this big brother was already here. The little squirrel isn't even afraid of him and lets him pet it."

"Oh?"

Xiao Ke's sister knew that this squirrel was very timid. Whenever she had tried to approach it before, it would run up the tree.

Yet today, it was actually willing to let someone pet it. That was truly strange.

"Let's go home." Xiao Ke's sister had no intention of talking to Lin Yuan. She took Xiao Ke's hand and prepared to leave.

Xiao Ke turned back and waved her little hand goodbye to the unfamiliar big brother. "Goodbye, Big Brother."

Lin Yuan also waved goodbye to her.

It was getting late, so he returned directly to the villa and went to bed early.

The next day at noon, he took a taxi to the building where Gu Lianyin lived. He wanted to take her out for a stroll first before going to the concert.

"Wait a moment, I'm not ready yet!"

Upstairs, in Gu Lianyin's room.

She was barefaced at the moment, but even so, her skin was in excellent condition, without a single pimple. Her face was radiant and fair.

The moment she received Lin Yuan's message, she snapped awake from her drowsiness.

She hurried into the bathroom to make herself look less attractive.

The makeup process was complicated. Even though Gu Lianyin was quick, it still took nearly twenty minutes.

She raced downstairs and saw Lin Yuan sitting at the stairway entrance, looking at his phone.

Gu Lianyin felt a little embarrassed and apologized, "Sorry for making you wait so long."

"It's fine." Lin Yuan did not even look back.

He was testing his Hou Yi skills in Honor of Kings.

At the moment, his record stood at five kills and zero deaths. None of his ultimates had missed, and he had even stolen a dragon with his ultimate, earning a stream of 666s from his teammates.

Gu Lianyin leaned over to watch.

Lin Yuan was controlling his hero while hiding in the brush.

Suddenly, three burly men emerged from the river.

They were Xiang Yu, Liu Shan, and Lian Po.

Lin Yuan tapped the attack signal for his teammates.

Bull Demon, the support who had been following beside him, immediately used his ultimate and knocked the three enemy heroes into the air.

At the same time, Lin Yuan unleashed a fierce barrage. When the enemy heroes counterattacked, he immediately flashed away, then continued attacking.

Very quickly, the enemy had used up all their skills, yet they still failed to kill Hou Yi. Their health bars had all dropped to critical levels.

Lin Yuan relentlessly pursued them. He killed the slowest Xiang Yu first, stunned Liu Shan with his ultimate, and sent him back home as well.

The final Lian Po could not escape either and was killed by the arriving teammates.

Then they pushed through the enemy high ground in one wave, shattered the crystal, and claimed victory.

Gu Lianyin watched with great excitement. When they finally won, she cried out in delight as though she had won herself.

Lin Yuan put away his phone and checked the time.

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

"I'll take you to get something."

The two left and went to a noodle shop for a bite to eat.

Only at dusk did they arrive at the concert venue.

Diamond tickets required no queueing, and the two took seats near the front.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Lin Qingyue made her grand entrance as the music began.

The atmosphere instantly erupted, and cheers thundered through the venue.

Lin Qingyue walked out gracefully in a black off-the-shoulder gown.

"My dear fans, how are you!"

Lin Qingyue raised her microphone high, and the crowd's momentum immediately surged as their response grew even more fervent.

After interacting with the audience for a while, Lin Qingyue began singing the first song of the night.

Below the stage.

Lin Yuan remained calm throughout, while Gu Lianyin beside him instantly turned into a fangirl, continuously waving and screaming.

It had to be said that Lin Qingyue truly deserved her status as a singing star. Her voice was deeply moving and easily stirred the crowd's emotions, making people unable to resist singing along.

Before there was even time to rest after the first song, the melody of the second began.

Onstage, Lin Qingyue swept her gaze across the front rows, then spotted Lin Yuan and smiled as she waved at him.

"Wow, Lin Qingyue waved at me!" Gu Lianyin screamed.
