After successfully obtaining the ticket, Shen Shiqing handed it over to Lin Man and some on-site staff. Anyone outside the venue without a ticket could receive one.

Once everything was settled, Shen Shiqing entered the venue.

The venue is getting more and more crowded, with fans coming in one after another, and it's almost full now.

After distributing the tickets, there were still some left. Shen Shiqing kept them as a memento of his first time attending Shi Xia's concert, since he didn't know if he would have the chance again.

Shen Shiqing sat down in the VIP seat, took off his hat and mask, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wearing a mask in the summer can be quite stuffy.

Feeling a gaze sweep over her, Shen Shiqing instinctively looked in that direction.

Our eyes met, even though we were several seats apart. It was him again.

Xing Jianan.

Staring at me like that is kind of creepy.

Shen Shiqing lowered her head to look at her phone, ignoring him and letting him look at it as he pleased.

While surfing the 18G internet, Shen Shiqing smelled a familiar scent, a faint fragrance of green plums.

His tall figure loomed over Shen Shiqing, and then he sat down beside her.

"Teacher Shen, it's been a long time." Her voice was still clear and melodious, yet it carried a hint of laughter, sounding gentle and tender.

With the mask off, all that could be seen in Shen Shiqing's eyes was him.

Her face was still magnificent, but her features seemed gentler than before. Her outfit remained casual and relaxed, with a simple denim jacket over a white t-shirt, giving her a refreshing overall look.

Like a man of advanced age, Shen Shiqing thought, but he also had an inner mature charm that was incomparable.

“Long time no see, Teacher Lu,” Shen Shiqing replied in kind.

"Xiao Xia is really a good friend. No wonder she insisted I sit in this seat. She's already arranged for me to be the Best Actor. She's been quietly doing great things."

Shen Shiqing sighed silently to himself, unaware that the people beside him had already overheard him.

A subtle atmosphere filled the air.

"I smuggled this in secretly, here you go." Lu Jingchu handed Shen Shiqing a cup of milk tea.

It's refreshing watermelon and coconut!

Shen Shiqing accepted the gift and expressed his gratitude.

"How did Lu Jingchu know I liked this? Was it a complete accident?"

"I just happened to see this on my way here. You might like it." Lu Jingchu looked at Shen Shiqing without any hesitation.

Something was mixed in his eyes, but Shen Shiqing didn't dare to look. He silently inserted the straw and lowered his head to drink.

"Lu Jingchu, please don't do this, I won't be able to control myself."

Lu Jingchu chuckled softly, but Shen Shiqing was puzzled.

"What's wrong with Teacher Lu?"

"Nothing, I just think it's cute."

"What's cute?"

"While drinking milk tea."

Lu Jingchu didn't say it directly, but Shen Shiqing knew who he was talking about.

Isn't that describing her?!

So Lu Jingchu is that good at it? Shen Shiqing was a little afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it.

As Shen Shiqing was pondering to himself, other voices drifted into his ears.

"Teacher Lu and Teacher Shen meet again."

It was Wen Xinran.

Oh, and Song Zhihuai was also with her.

Lu Jingchu and Shen Shiqing nodded slightly to them as a greeting.

The two of them sat down directly. Wen Xinran's expression was fine, still gentle and sweet, but Song Zhihuai was quite different.

His face was as sour as a dung beetle's.

She would occasionally glance at Shen Shiqing, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

Shen Shiqing naturally wouldn't back down, and rolled her eyes at him in return.

He was still saying something.

What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!

Song Zhihuai understood what Shen Shiqing was saying, and he was so angry that his mouth twisted in anger, but there were too many people around for him to do anything about it.

"What's wrong?" Lu Jingchu could clearly sense Shen Shiqing's fluctuations.

"It's nothing, I was just harassed by someone who's not very bright."

"Do you need my help?"

"No need, I won in the end anyway." After all, that person couldn't vent their anger.

"Then you're great." Lu Jingchu looked very serious, making Shen Shiqing feel a little guilty.

"If you knew what I was just doing, you wouldn't have said that."

"Do whatever you want, I have high hopes for you."

Just as Shen Shiqing was feeling touched, an uninvited guest appeared on her other side.

"Sister Shi," Qin Shiyue sat down next to her, "we're really destined to meet."

"Hehe." Who has any connection with you? Don't try to get on my good side.

"Why is Sister Shi so cold?" she said, looking aggrieved.

So this kid's actually quite manipulative? That makes sense, he and Xia Chun were even exchanging barbs last time.

Sometimes, Xia Chun couldn't even beat him in a fight.

"You don't have to sit next to me~"

"Sister Shi, when are you finally going to let me out of that dark room?"

"It depends on my mood." Shen Shiqing remembered that she had indeed blocked someone named "Han Shiguan".

It is indeed Qin Shiyue herself.

"Sister~" sounded so cloying that Shen Shiqing couldn't stand it. She really wanted to ask him if he could go somewhere far away, but obviously, he couldn't.

Shen Shiqing was really annoyed and was about to say something when he shut up in time.

Suddenly realizing the situation?

Actually—the reason Qin Shiyue suddenly shut up was—someone glanced at him casually but with a very oppressive air.

Why is Actor Lu looking at me like that? He looks so fierce, it's kind of scary.

He had no choice but to back down; Lu Jingchu was not someone he could afford to offend.

Their status speaks for itself.

Others also arrived one after another.

Xia Chun sat to Song Zhihuai's left, while Xing Jianan sat to her left.

He exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

To Qin Shiyue's right sat Du Hewen and the reckless director, oh, and Jessica was also there with him.

So the VIP seats were arranged like this—

Xing Jianan, Xia Chun, Song Zhihuai, Wen Xinran, Lu Jingchu, Shen Shiqing, Qin Shiyue, Du Hewen, Bu Yaomin and Jessica.

It was perfectly centered around Lu Jingchu and Shen Shiqing, which was also Shi Xia's personal wish.

As she was issuing the invoice, she couldn't help but sigh—

I really envy Lu Jingchu for having such a smart, beautiful, brave, witty, and all-around capable younger sister like me.

Oh, Mom will praise me too! I'll go home and brag to her for my reward!

...

The stage lights came on, and the time flashed on the big screen.

Countdown.

The fans in the stadium shouted in response.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!!!!!!!!!"

The screen displays a series of photos and introductions of the SqUEEN members.

"SqUNNE!!!!"

"SqUNNE!!!!"

"SqUNNE!!!!"

"SqUNNE!!!!"

Below the stage, fans from all groups chanted the group's name in unison, while on stage came the members of the SqUNNE girl group, who arrived via a rising platform.

After a self-introduction, enthusiastic applause erupts and lasts for a long time.

Summer has arrived.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xia Shi from SqUNNE~"

She was making the signature hand gesture of the girl group SqUEEN and even winked at the audience, which was incredibly cute.

Shen Shiqing, sitting in the audience, naturally received the wink signal from Shi Xia and waved and smiled at her gently.

It's the next member's turn.

Shi Xia continued to look at the stage.

Wait, behind Sister Shi? This person... looks familiar.

Holy crap!!! Isn't that Mom?!? Why is she sitting behind Sister Shi?!

Didn't you say you couldn't come because of company business?!

How did I end up sitting behind Sister Shi?!

Still only focusing on my brother and Sister Shi?
