Chapter 654: About to Begin Singing
'Crash...'
Chen Mengying, who had just gone to the kitchen to prepare chopsticks, was shocked and dropped them to the floor upon seeing Feng Feifei.
At that moment, Feng Feifei was stunned. Although it was her first time seeing this girl, in just that instant, she understood something from the girl's eyes. She was surprised by her appearance, and she, too, liked—or rather, loved Zhifan.
"You, you have a friend here. I, I'll go back first. If I had known, I would have brought two portions." Chen Mengying stammered.
There was no need to say more. Dressed like that, anyone who wasn't blind could see what the two of them had done before she arrived at the house.
"Hey, old class president..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell Siyan. I'm leaving."
In a flurry, Chen Mengying picked up the chopsticks from the floor and casually put them aside, grabbed her backpack from the sofa, and walked out the door with large strides.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit off. Looking at the breakfast on the table, Xiaofan frowned: "I just meant to say that I could go out later and give her a ride. I never asked her to keep it a secret for me."
What secret? Xiaofan's past was already entirely clear to Liu Siyan, including the existence of Feng Feifei. Although it was a bit messy, since Liu Siyan could have a change of heart toward Xiaofan under such conditions, she must have been mentally prepared.
Having such thoughts makes Xiaofan seem a bit disgraceful, but regarding Sister Fei, he couldn't let her rare visit be sneaky and hidden.
"You should call her back. I can explain to her."
"No need, the old class president is just overthinking. Ah, breakfast, want some?"
"I've already eaten, plus, the girl made it for you herself."
"Hmm, the old class president's cooking is indeed good. I'll eat first, but oh right, let me call Li San and see if he has time to come over."
Xiaofan had never really understood Chen Mengying's feelings, which was indeed his oversight.
At this moment, Chen Mengying was striding out, not even considering waving down a passing taxi.
Where to? Where should she go next? Chen Mengying's mind was in a whirl, unable to think of her next destination.
Tears silently trickled down her face, unstoppable. The more she tried to control them, the more they disobediently poured out until they turned into sobbing, weeping, trembling cries.
Hugging her knees, squatting behind a tree, Chen Mengying couldn't hold back and began to cry out loud.
Sad? Why was she sad? The woman just now was someone she had seen on TV. Siyan had also mentioned that she and that Li Sisi might have some ambiguous feelings with Xiaofan, and Liu Siyan could accept all this, so what right did she have to cry?
But she just wanted to cry. Her heart was so distressed, so painful. Why was it like this?
Clearly, they had agreed that night was just a dream. Once awake, it would be forgotten. Let it fade away with the wind. But every time she saw different women around him, a silent jealousy would arise within her.
Turns out she also yearned, yearned for his embrace, his meticulous care, yearned for the day when he realized her heart had always loved him.
But if she told him the truth about that night, she believed that Xiaofan would not let her down, definitely not, but that would be like binding him with morality and ideals rather than his sincerity. What use is such love? It would be better to let him live his life carefree while she silently watched, silently blessed.
Just this time, just for a while, let herself have a good, cathartic cry.
"Wow, did you all see the poster? Li Sisi, XG's hottest singer Li Sisi, she's going to perform at Capital University."
"I've known for a while. Her main purpose in coming to the Capital City is to hold a charity concert, starting ticket sales officially on the website this afternoon. The tickets are supposed to be available around Civilization Road. It's said that all the proceeds from the concert, after expenses, will be donated to charity."
"Yeah, I heard that too. This Li Sisi is really remarkable, such a great singer, pretty face, great figure. Most importantly, it's said that not long after her debut, she started doing charity work, first helping her hometown, then some impoverished areas, which is really hard."
"It's just for good publicity. Which star or actor isn't doing it these days?"
"Hey, you're wrong there. Initially, no one knew she was doing charity. It was only after the paparazzi discovered it that it got reported, and slowly more was uncovered. Wow, it was genuinely her own money invested into charity, with no fabrication at all. Otherwise, she couldn't have become this popular across the mainland in less than a year."
"Ah, I don't have money in my Alipay account, Mei, could you help me get a ticket, please? I'll definitely pay you back next week."
"Plus a meal with five-spice rice."
"Deal."
All around the campus, discussions were buzzing about Li Sisi preparing to hold a concert. The Capital University's stadium, which can accommodate up to twelve thousand people, will likely be fully packed on the night of the concert.
As soon as tickets went on sale on the website in the afternoon, fans eagerly snapped them up. Even without ticket scalpers, the official website managed to sell all ten thousand tickets in less than fifteen minutes.
The cheapest was 388, and the most expensive 3,880, regardless of whether the seats were close or far, everything was sold out. Impossible to get a ticket.
Girls were drawn to her voice because her lyrics touched many of their hearts, making it essential for them to experience it live.
And boys, especially nerds, had no choice. Many of them have a celebrity goddess, and at just over twenty, Li Sisi is not only sweet-looking and beautifully figured but also has a lively and cheerful personality, no wonder she's adored by nerds.
"Hey, Xiaofan..."
"Hmm, Siyan?"
"Where are you?"
"Busy with something. What's up? You don't sound happy."
"Not happy at all. Ugh, I'm almost crying."
"What's wrong?" Hearing Liu Siyan's coy voice on the phone, Xiaofan immediately comforted her gently, as Liu Siyan wasn't one to act cute so readily. But when she did with Xiaofan, he would do anything to get the moon for her.
"That mistress of yours. She came looking for me this morning asking for your address. You're with her now, aren't you?"
"Mistress, what mistress?" Seriously? Liu Siyan was using such terms? Xiaofan was truly embarrassed.
