Chapter 94: Concert
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Meng Fan introduced her, “Wu Tong, she’s my cla.s.smate.”
“Cla.s.smate?”
Bai Zhi gave Meng Fan an accusing glare, seeing through his deceit, but did not continue to ask.
Su Qing Cen was not familiar with Meng Fan, but Bai Zhi was. At least, familiar enough to know that Meng Fan was too low-key to bring an ordinary cla.s.smate to the backstage of a concert. She knew Meng Fan didn’t want people to know his status, as Meng Cai Wei’s younger brother was afraid that it would cause some trouble.
Maybe they really were cla.s.smates for now, and maybe they would only be cla.s.smates in the future, but Bai Zhi was 100% certain that Meng Fan wanted to take their relations.h.i.+p one step beyond just cla.s.smates, and maybe even several steps.
“Everyone says that the girls from the academy did not lose in appearances to girls from the film academy, and today I’ve seen it for myself.” Bai Zhi eagerly approached and grasped Wu Tong’s hand, taking the initiative to take a photo. She also took out her own phone and handed it to Meng Fan and smiled. “Take one on my phone too, I have to leave a memento. If others ask about pretty girls at the art academy, I can show them this picture.”
Who else could it be but Meng Cai Wei!
Did Meng Fan foresee that Bai Zhi told Meng Cai Wei about this before arriving?
Of course not. Standing next to such a beautiful person, how can he be so thoughtful and secretive?
But seeing it had come to this, he didn’t hesitate to help Wu Tong and Bai Zhi take a photo. Liking Wu Tong wasn’t a shameful thing.
The only trouble would be Meng Cai Wei’s endless interrogations.
Although Meng Cai Wei had a sour att.i.tude and loved to dig her nose into his business, it didn’t mean that she doesn’t respect him. She wouldn’t try to interfere with his relations.h.i.+p, and shouldn’t request to meet Wu Tong… Right?
Moreover, with Qin Jiao as her “spy”, Meng Cai Wei could inquire about his business with Wu Tong anytime.
Besides, Bai Zhi’s actions were very obvious, and Wu Tong wasn’t dumb. He had previously mentioned his sister before, so she must have realized. If he had hesitated and let Wu Tong think that he didn’t want his sister to find out about her, then it would have really been GG!
It seemed Meng Fan had single-sidedly a.s.signed Wu Tong to the role of his ‘girlfriend’ or future girlfriend. It was a pretty indecent thing to do.
After Meng Fan helped Wu Tong and Bai Zhi take a photo, Su Qing Cen also got the a.s.sistant to hand her phone to Meng Fan, then handed him Wu Tong’s phone next. He really became a photographer.
They happily took the photos and signed autographs.
After finis.h.i.+ng up, Meng Fan and Wu Tong did not stay backstage and followed the staff to the VIP area.
An awkward air took over once they sat down.
There were already several fans in the venue who surrounded them with bustle, but the atmosphere around Meng Fan and Wu Tong was silent.
“It seems… The lunch I bought you was a bit too cheap.” After a long silence, Wu Tong began to speak.
Whoosh.
When other people took their female dates backstage to take photos with the singer, shouldn’t they begin flaunting after? How did it come to be a dilemma for him?
Hearing Wu Tong’s words, he let out a long sigh and then asked a question testing the waters, “If you think it’s too cheap, then can you treat me to another one when we’re back at school?”
“So your sister’s in the entertainment industry?” Wu Tong couldn’t resist her childlike curiosity and finally gave in. “Is your sister a celebrity?”
She could tell and it wasn’t just Su Qing Cen who knew his sister, but Bai Zhi as well.
Just knowing Su Qing Cen could be explained by other means, and knowing Bai Zhi as well, she was 99% also in the circle.
As far as she knew, Su Qing Cen and Bai Zhi did not debut at the same time. The two had a good relations.h.i.+p and became friends inside the entertainment industry.
“Yeah, to me she is a star.” Meng Fan had pride on his face. “But she insists she’s only an actress. She’s really stubborn.”
“Anyone who says so must be a great actress!” Wu Tong looked at Meng Fan but didn’t ask him who his sister was. However, she was curious deep down, but she didn’t want to ask Meng Fan. Then, her eyes lit up. “Actress, with the last name Meng, with an att.i.tude that is very… unique. Is your sister Meng Cai Wei?!”
Seeing Wu Tong looking at him, Meng Fan wanted to tell her, but since she already guessed, he could only nod.
He didn’t consider what changes to his relations.h.i.+p with Wu Tong this knowledge would bring, regardless if it was good or bad.
He didn’t want others to know he was Meng Cai Wei’s little brother, not only because of the trouble it would bring but also because he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to live confidently next to Meng Cai Wei’s glowing halo.
There were many people who had parents, sisters, and brothers that were in the entertainment industry, who after being interviewed always spoke of their hatred of living under their shadows. To Meng Fan, these people were all nonsense. They hadn’t found their own calling yet.
Once you find what you want to do, even if those boring people say you are way below your brother, sister or parents, you would only laugh at them!
Besides, if there were shadows, there would be light. The benefits these people enjoyed from the light far outweighed the negative impact they received from the shadows!
Of course, Meng Fan didn’t have any plans to join this industry.
Seeing him nod, Wu Tong was shocked. “This is very unexpected!”
Meng Fan could only laugh dryly.
As more and more fans entered the venue, more concert aids started to light up.
The concert began at seven thirty.
With the appearance of Su Qing Cen on stage and her stunning voice, the atmosphere of the concert began to heat up.
Meng Fan had seen this concert before.
Even so, he was in a gallant mood.
Similarly, Wu Tong was in high spirits as well.
She maintained her silence, but it didn’t prevent her from being excited in the presence of her beloved singer.
To Meng Fan, seeing Wu Tong jump around singing along and dancing to Su Qing Cen with the rest of the fans was an interesting sight.
The concert procedure was the same as the one he saw before being reincarnated, and the only difference being the companion next to him was not Chen Da Qiang, but Wu Tong.
Of course, not everything was the same. For example, when the overhead camera swept over the fans, Meng Fan appeared several times on the large screen. Even during the lucky fan segment, the lens had been locked on him.
He did look pretty good on screen though. After all, he had gained +6 photogenic appeal.
As for his presence, who can argue with it?!
+11 validation wasn’t just a number!
Su Qing Cen and Bai Zhi from backstage were both surprised and nonetheless, was Wu Tong.
Su Qing Cen knew Meng Fan, but she didn’t specifically request for him to be the ‘lucky fan’.
“That’s magical!”
Su Qing Cen did not hide her surprise and did not worry that others would accuse her of arranging this afterward. She smiled and waved at Meng Fan, then introduced him to the audience. “This lucky fan doesn’t need to introduce himself. I know him, and some of the fans present might also know him too.”
She then turned to Meng Fan. “Thank you for running so far to see my concert.” She then turned to the audience and said, “He really ran here! He’s the fan in Weibo yesterday who ran here from Hangzhou. And he took all the gifts he received from streaming the run, which was a lot, and donated it to my Shan Jin charity fund. Let’s applaud him for his dedication!”
Applause rang through the crowd.
Because he had already seen it once and no matter how excited he was, it wouldn’t be as fresh. He did not expect the freshness to hit him like this.
As a lucky fan who had been introduced by his favorite singer, Meng Fan would be lying if he wasn’t a little bit excited and happy. Plus the roar of applause that had been for him, what can he do but smile? With a little smug and full of excitement, he began laughing!
His laugh was incredulous!
