Meeting Lin Qingyue

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded in response.

Immediately afterward, Gu Lianyin took out her phone and started snapping photos and recording videos.

Lin Yuan thought about it. Opportunities like this were rare, so he should take a photo as a keepsake.

Then he recorded a video, posted it to Moments, and continued listening to the concert.

At that moment, Wang Ping, his roommate, was scrolling through his phone in bed when he suddenly saw Lin Yuan's post. A startled "Holy crap!" slipped out.

It was Lin Qingyue's concert. Lin Yuan had actually gone there.

The tickets were expensive, after all.

And judging by where Lin Yuan was sitting in the video, he was clearly in the front row. Tickets for those seats were even more expensive.

"Hey, isn't that person next to him his deskmate, Gu Lianyin?"

With his sharp eyes, Wang Ping recognized the girl beside Lin Yuan at a glance.

"Quick, check Moments! Lin Yuan went to Lin Qingyue's concert!" he hurriedly called out to his roommates.

Li Wencai put down his pen, picked up the phone beside him, and quickly saw the video Lin Yuan had posted.

"Tickets are so expensive. With that money, you could buy several books and who knows how many pens."

That was his evaluation.

"How could that be? Where would he get the money to buy a ticket?" Liu Qing said, but he quickly took out his phone and saw Lin Yuan's Moments post as well.

He opened the video and immediately saw Lin Qingyue singing a song amid a massive crowd. The person filming was seated in the front row.

"He must've stolen someone else's video and reposted it!"

Before the video had even ended, Lin Yuan had yet to appear on camera, and Liu Qing had already reached his conclusion.

But soon, he fell silent. The camera shifted, and Lin Yuan's face appeared on screen, smiling, before the video ended.

Liu Qing was dumbstruck. This time, he truly had nothing to say.

Lin Yuan really had a ticket to Lin Qingyue's concert!?

And he had actually gone!

That seat was only available with a Diamond Concert ticket.

What did that mean?

The Diamond ticket Lin Yuan had sold him so cheaply last time had actually been real!

Yet he had foolishly listened to others saying it was fake and believed it was fake.

It was too late to say anything now. There was no medicine for regret in this world.

If he had known earlier, he would have found someone to verify whether the ticket was real, and none of this would have happened.

It had gotten him scolded by his girlfriend, and he could no longer keep up his relationship with Lin Yuan as both roommates and friends.

The concert continued until nearly midnight before ending.

Afterward, everyone left in an orderly manner.

Once the concert was over, Lin Yuan received a message from Lin Qingyue.

"Want to grab a late-night snack together later?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then looked at the still-excited Gu Lianyin beside him and replied, "Sure."

"Then stay where you are. I'll have my assistant come take you over."

"Okay."

"Let's not leave just yet," Lin Yuan said to Gu Lianyin as he put away his phone.

"Huh?" Gu Lianyin was confused. "Everyone's leaving. Why are we staying?"

"It's a secret!" Lin Yuan said mysteriously.

He wondered what expression Gu Lianyin would make when she saw Lin Qingyue in person.

It would probably be hilarious.

Lin Yuan really wanted to see it.

Before long, Lin Qingyue's assistant came over and recognized Lin Yuan.

"Meeting again!" she said with a smile. "Come with me."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Gu Lianyin did not know Lin Qingyue's assistant. Just as she was wondering about the relationship between them, Lin Yuan took hold of her wrist and led her after the woman.

"Lin Yuan, where are we going?" she asked cautiously.

Lin Yuan explained, "I'm taking you to meet Lin Qingyue."

Gu Lianyin thought he was joking and became a little angry. "I'm not joking with you. Tell me!"

"I really am taking you to meet Lin Qingyue. Why don't you believe me?" Lin Yuan said, unable to laugh or cry. He had told the truth, yet she still would not believe him.

Gu Lianyin was a little upset, but she did not say she would not go. She was simply unhappy.

However, when the assistant brought them backstage and she saw Lin Qingyue herself—the woman who had just been singing onstage and stirring up the entire venue—she instantly froze.

She even suspected she was dreaming.

When she saw Lin Qingyue chatting and laughing with Lin Yuan, she became even more certain that she had to be dreaming!

It couldn't be real.

"Lianyin, come over. Aren't you a fan of Lin Qingyue? Come get acquainted with her. Maybe you'll even get a chance to take a photo together!"

Noticing Gu Lianyin's reaction, Lin Yuan found it amusing and beckoned her over.

Feeling nervous and uneasy, Gu Lianyin stood extremely close to Lin Qingyue. Her heart raced so hard that she did not even know what to say.

"Hello, I'm Lin Qingyue." Lin Qingyue extended her hand.

"H-Hello, I'm your fan," Gu Lianyin said timidly as she extended her hand and shook Lin Qingyue's.
