Chapter 43 - 43 Crying

43 Crying

“Good night.”

When she returned to the dormitory, Nan Ge tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, the image of Shen Yanqing standing in front of her half an hour ago and whispering goodnight appeared in her mind.

For some reason, when she thought of it, her cheeks started to heat up and she felt inexplicably ashamed.

How strange…

However, such complicated emotions completely dissipated when she saw her brother’s Moments.

Ugly People Always Make Trouble: [My neck is a little uncomfortable today. Everyone, help me take a look and see if there’s a problem.]

[*Attached photo* x9]

It was a neat nine-panel selfie.

Nan Ge found it a little strange. Since she cared about her brother, she clicked on the photo.

After clicking on it, she carefully looked at the nine photos three times.

They were all selfies of her brother from various angles. Of course, the face did not seem to be the main point. The main point was the black tie he was wearing.

Then, she looked at the comments below and finally confirmed who the protagonist was.

Yu asked: [Brother Nan, is your neck alright?]

Ugly People Always Make Trouble replied to Yu: [How did you know that Nan Ge gave me this tie?]

Yu: [?]

Ugly People Always Make Trouble replied to Yu: [You have such keen eyes. Yes, this tie costs $9,800.]

Yu was speechless.

Ugly People Always Make Trouble replied to Yu, [Sigh. I think it was expensive too. How can a child like her have money? I already said I didn’t want it, but she insisted on giving it to me. If I didn’t accept it, she’ll cry! Look at this child. Sigh *helpless emoticon*.]

Yu did not reply. Nan Ge could guess the reason even without thinking.

She scrolled further and saw her mother’s comment. [Son, I don’t think your neck is the problem. It might be your brain.]

Seeing this, Nan Ge nodded hard in agreement!

She quickly replied to her mother: [I told you it was a bad idea to let him leave the hospital back then!]

Her mother replied: [*Shake hands emoticon* *Shake hand emoticon*]

——

After the last two subjects, Nan Ge was officially on vacation.

Su Hui was from the north and was the furthest from home. Cheng Xia and Yuanyuan were from neighboring cities and needed to take the train for three hours to get home. Therefore, the three of them bought tickets for the same day and went to the train station together.

Only Nan Ge still had to stay in Huai City.

She could only officially go home after the concert.

There were still four days left.

She could not stay in the dormitory anymore. She did not want to stay at her brother’s place either.

Nan Zhe could not let her sleep on the streets, so he let her stay in the restaurant.

There was a lounge in his office. He usually did not go there. The office and lounge had always been empty. Although it was small, it was not a problem to stay for two days.

Nan Ge did not mind. She was even very satisfied.

As she woke up every day and went downstairs to work, it saved her a lot of time compared to usual. She could even sleep a little more!

On New Year’s Eve, the restaurant was closed. When Nan Ge heard that there was a traffic jam near the concert venue, she hesitated for a moment but did not drive. She took the subway directly.

When the time came, the audience was allowed to go through security checks and enter the venue.

At the same time, Shen Yanqing came out from backstage with the organizers following behind him.

“President Shen, thank you for your help!”

The title sponsor of this concert was Huasheng Group.

In the early stages, because of the venue, the concert was delayed. In the end, Huasheng Group had to help settle it.

“Are you really not going to stay and watch for a while? We’ve reserved the best seat for you!”

Seeing that he was about to leave, the talent agency owner felt a little disappointed.

“Thank you for your kindness, but I might not have time tonight.” Shen Yanqing smiled.

The boy group was from overseas, so the talent agency owner was naturally a foreigner. Assistant Yuan walking beside him helped explain, “It’s New Year’s Eve. According to tradition, President Shen has to go back and reunite with his family.”

“I see.”

“Then President Shen…”

The talent agency owner politely gestured for him to please go ahead. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Shen Yanqing attracted by something.

Fans were streaming in from the exits on both sides. The empty and quiet venue slowly became noisy.

Assistant Yuan did not know what Shen Yanqing was doing, so he could only follow his gaze.

A few seconds later, Assistant Yuan did not see anything. “President Shen, what are you looking at?”

“Over there.” Since it was a little far away, Shen Yanqing was not very sure. He pointed in a direction and asked Assistant Yuan, “See that? The one dressed in white. She’s wearing a hair clip on her head and it’s even flashing.”

Shen Yanqing did not chase celebrities, so he did not know what she was wearing. He could only give a rough description.

Assistant Yuan locked onto the person he was talking about in the crowd. “Is there something wrong with that person?”

...

Seeing that he did not spot her, Shen Yanqing retracted his gaze and looked at him in disappointment. “Doesn’t she look like Nan Ge?”

Assistant Yuan, “…”

His eyesight was not bad, but he could not see everything.

“President Shen, how can you tell that it’s Miss Nan Ge from so far away?”

“I couldn’t tell.” Assistant Yuan laughed awkwardly.

Shen Yanqing did not see her face. “Her height and dressing style is a little similar, but it’s indeed difficult to be sure.”

The talent agency owner beside him asked, “What’s the matter?”

Assistant Yuan was smart and capable. He sent them away with a few words.

“President Shen, I’ll help you take a look.”

“Okay.”

A few minutes later, Assistant Yuan ran back dejectedly. “No, President Shen. You really made a mistake.”

...

“Miss Nan Ge should still be delivering food at this time. Besides, the tickets for the inner circle are very expensive.”

Assistant Yuan made sense. Shen Yanqing pursed his lips. “Let’s go.”

——

Outside the venue, Nan Ge carefully flipped through her bag a few times, but she could not find the concert ticket.

Seeing that everyone was running inside, she was a little anxious and rummaged through her bag desperately.

Seeing her like this, a woman beside her pitied her. “Did you lose your ticket?”

“How did you know?”

“See that over there?” The woman turned around and pointed at the police car in the distance. “Those girls lost their tickets and just called the police.”

“Did they all lose their tickets?”

“That’s right. They were most likely stolen by these scalpers here. You should go over quickly.”

Nan Ge was dumbfounded. This was the first time she had come out to watch a concert alone in her life. She did not know such things existed.

After they reported the case together, Nan Ge asked anxiously, “Uncle, when can we get the tickets?”

The concert would start in half an hour.

“That’s hard to say.” The policeman sighed. “You know how many people came and went just now.”

“We can’t be sure if the ticket seller is still here.”

“I guess you won’t be able to watch the concert tonight. However, we’ll try our best to reduce your losses and catch them, okay?”

“I see… Thank you.”

Nan Ge looked at the stadium behind her indignantly.

Her brother was still waiting for her to post pictures of the concert on social media. If he knew that she had lost her ticket…

At the thought of this, Nan Ge could not help but cry.

She was really stupid.

The phone in her pocket was still ringing. Nan Ge cried as she picked it up. “Hello…”

With just one word, the person on the other end of the phone stopped breathing.
