In the faint warmth of the moment, even time seemed to carry a misty trace. Xiao Yufan gazed somewhat entranced at the two beauties before him, his eyes unusually soft and tender…
“It’s the weekend today. Yufan, do you have time? I want to go out for a walk, and maybe catch a concert too!”
The atmosphere felt slightly heavy. Qin Menglu lazily stretched her slender, toned body, her crimson lips parting slightly as she fixed her gaze on Xiao Yufan’s handsome profile, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.
“Well, since a beauty has invited me, even if I have other plans, I should prioritize keeping our Menglu company. If you went alone, I’d really worry about you…”
Xiao Yufan’s smile deepened. After all, it was the weekend, and he didn’t have to go to work. Accompanying these two lovely girls for an outing wasn’t a bad idea at all.
“I knew you’d say that—always cracking jokes. I wonder how many more girls will fall for your tricks. My cousin was right—you’re definitely a shameless flirt!”
With a seductive glare and a hint of mock annoyance, Qin Menglu averted her gaze from Xiao Yufan’s leering eyes and shifted her attention to Yu Yihan instead.
“So, am I supposed to do what a flirt usually does now? Like…?”
The charm of the two beauties once again stirred Xiao Yufan’s restless heart. Gazing at them greedily, his smile grew even more mischievous, leaving no doubt about the thoughts running through his mind.
“Then come on, no one’s stopping you. Don’t just talk, actually do something for once…”
Knowing just how to press his weak spots, Qin Menglu replied coolly, unfazed. She had long gotten used to Xiao Yufan’s cheeky ways, and under Yu Yihan’s guidance, she had learned how to “defend herself” effectively.
Poor Xiao Yufan, who had looked ready to pounce a moment ago, now fell silent, casting a resentful glance at Yu Yihan. He could easily guess who had taught Menglu those comebacks.
“Alright, you were the one begging to go to the concert. Don’t you even check the time? If there are no seats left when we get there, don’t come crying to me…”
Yu Yihan interrupted the teasing banter by glancing at her wristwatch. If she let the two of them continue, who knew what kind of chaos would ensue.
“How could that happen? We have VIP seats! Who dares to compete with me? I’m going to get up close and personal with my idol. Just thinking about it makes me excited…”
Her eyes sparkling with anticipation, Qin Menglu’s expression was full of eagerness. Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but feel puzzled—since when had this girl become such a fan of celebrities? She looked even more excited than when she had first met him.
“Why didn’t I notice before that you had the potential to be a fan? Who is this person who has captured our young lady’s admiration?”
“They’re actually from around here too. She only debuted a year ago but has already created one legend after another through her talent. I guess it’s not just about her songs—it’s more about her as a person.”
Qin Menglu spoke with admiration, clearly already familiar with every detail about her idol. Anyone who could earn such praise from this girl must surely be extraordinary.
“Just a year since her debut?” Xiao Yufan hesitated slightly before continuing, “Then what’s her name? I’d like to see who could have such charm…”
“She’s Lin Jiayao, Yufan! Don’t tell me you don’t even know her name. Right now, her fame rivals any queen of the music industry!”
Unaware of the sudden shift in Xiao Yufan’s expression, Qin Menglu continued excitedly, as if ready to elevate this woman already on a pedestal to even greater heights.
Stunned for a moment, Xiao Yufan felt an overwhelming sense of unreality. This was just too coincidental. He clearly remembered that before he left, this girl had still been just a second-tier actress.
“How could I not know her name?” A mysterious smile curved his lips as Xiao Yufan narrowed his eyes into slits, thinking of the woman who had once shared such intimacy with him. A sense of longing stirred in his heart.
“You know her? But your reaction just now didn’t seem like it. You’re lying to me again, aren’t you? Hmph…”
Clearly unconvinced, Qin Menglu didn’t dwell on it long. She simply took Xiao Yufan and Yu Yihan by the hands and led them toward the concert venue.
Celebrity appeal merely satisfies a certain psychological need in this superficial society. In a world full of hurried footsteps, people always need something to soothe their souls…
The streets of Beijing were already packed, but today, from the airport road to the second ring, the crowds were overwhelming. Countless excited fans had gathered on the streets, hoping for a closer encounter with the goddess they idolized.
Dragged along by Qin Menglu, Xiao Yufan could only shake his head helplessly. He really didn’t understand why this girl was so obsessed. If she knew about his relationship with Lin Jiayao, would she be shocked out of her wits?
Actually, Xiao Yufan himself wasn’t entirely sure. After a year, would Lin Jiayao still remember him? Even if she did, would her feelings remain the same? People change, especially now that Lin Jiayao had risen to stardom.
Among all the women in Xiao Yufan’s life, Lin Jiayao was the only one who had given herself completely to him. How could such a deep bond be weaker than others? If it hadn’t been for his stubbornness back then, maybe they would have been together by now…
Finally, Qin Menglu managed to push her way to the front of the crowd, thanks in no small part to Xiao Yufan’s forceful path through the throng. Secretly, Xiao Yufan himself felt a bit excited. He couldn’t help but anticipate the reunion after a year.
Several luxurious sports cars slowly approached, and Xiao Yufan’s heart tightened. Suddenly, he felt a strange fear—afraid that after so much had changed, this girl might now belong to someone else.
The car leading the procession was the most extravagant model in the Yinling series, its perfect streamline design making it the king among Yinling cars. These million-dollar vehicles were not something money alone could buy.
As Xiao Yufan’s attention was drawn to the cars, a sudden commotion rippled through the crowd. Slowly lifting his head, he saw a fair, flawless face appear at the window.
The atmosphere reached a fever pitch. Xiao Yufan truly understood the meaning of “fan frenzy” as Lin Jiayao’s brief appearance at the window ignited the entire crowd. His eyes, too, were frozen in a stunned gaze…
