Chapter 31: Couple Outfits

The seal burned Chen Zan's palm. She took it back to the dormitory from the gymnasium with great care and placed it carefully next to her pillow.

Every night before going to bed, she would hold the seal in her hand and play with it for a while.

It was not until the surface of the seal became warm and her palms were sweating that she reluctantly put it down, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Today is the weekend. When Chen Zan got up, the other three people in the dormitory were still asleep. She got out of bed quietly, washed up, and then left the dormitory with her small white bag on her back. She was used to getting up early in the morning to take a walk around the campus and breathe in the fresh air. The trees were lush and green, the willows were swaying, the morning breeze blew refreshingly, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.

There were students jogging in the morning with headphones on, and three or five teenagers were riding bicycles and laughing. Chen Zhan took pictures of the scenery along the way with his mobile phone as he walked to the cafeteria.

Milk, eggs and fried dough sticks were her first choice for breakfast. After finishing them there, she went to the window and bought three more, intending to take them back to her sisters in the dormitory.

It was half an hour later when they arrived at the dormitory. They were all up. Tao Yiran and Ji Miaomiao were taking turns washing up. He Shiyi was sitting on his bench, swaying with his hands clasped together devoutly, his lips moving constantly, as if he was saying something.

Chen Zan walked in with breakfast and when he got closer he found that there was a laptop on her desk, which was displaying a ticket purchase interface.

"Shi Yi, what are you doing?"

He Shiyi heard Chen Zhan's voice and turned to look behind her, meeting Chen Zhan's puzzled eyes. She opened her clasped hands, and Chen Zhan discovered that the small seal Jiang Qiannan had given her was pressed against her palm.

She waved to her, motioning her to come over.

Chen Zan distributed breakfast to them and then sat down next to He Shiyi.

I heard her say, "Zhanzhan, let me tell you, the ticket sales for Brother Bian Cheng's solo concert are about to start. I was just warming up."

Ever since He Shiyi watched the Spring Festival Gala, she has been very interested in this singer. In He Shiyi's own words, she fell in love with him at first hearing, became addicted to him at second hearing, and became obsessed with him at third hearing. Until now, she has been unable to extricate herself.

It just so happened that this time, Bian Cheng's tour was held in Beijing, in the same stadium as last time. A month before knowing the news, He Shiyi was extremely happy and told Chen Zan many times that she must go to see Bian Cheng's concert this time!

Chen Zhan laughed at her, "You're so obsessed with him, aren't you afraid that Jiang Qiannan will get jealous?"

"Him?" He Shiyi didn't understand for a moment, and was completely focused on the concert. "Why would he be jealous?"

Chen Zan saw through it but didn't say anything. He just smiled and shook his head.

Bian Cheng was very popular, and it was difficult for her to get tickets by herself, so He Shiyi mobilized everyone in the dormitory to help her get tickets, and even asked Jiang Qiannan to help her.

With only half an hour left before the shooting started, she hurriedly called Jiang Qiannan. The call ended in two or three minutes.

Chen Zan watched He Shiyi calmly hang up the phone, then focused all his attention on the computer screen without any unusual emotion.

Until He Shiyi turned his head and looked at her, "Zhanzhan, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and open your computer and help me get the tickets! There are only ten minutes left!!!"

Chen Zan completely ignored the time. She quickly turned on the computer on the desk and logged into the website in a hurry. Then she turned her head to look at her again, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"You... have something to say?"

He Shiyi looked at her expression.

"Did you just finish your phone call with Jiang Qiannan?"

He Shiyi nodded, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"He promised to help you get the tickets?"

"Um."

"real?"

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?" He Shiyi said, "He also told me that if he managed to snatch it, he would let me take him there."

Aren’t you jealous?

Chen Zan recalled the time when he went to their school to play shooting last semester. He was very jealous at that time.

I can't figure it out.

Chen Zan couldn't figure it out at all.

"No, what's wrong with you?" He Shiyi still didn't understand the purpose of Chen Zan's question.

Chen Zan just shook his head and said it was okay, asking her to focus on getting tickets.

Time is running out and we cannot ignore it for a moment.

He Shiyi focused his gaze, his bright eyes fixed on the countdown button for grabbing tickets, like a majestic and proud eagle, waiting for the signal to come out and immediately pounce to catch its prey.

"Ten seconds left, sisters!"

The single-digit countdown made Chen Zan nervous, and she concentrated all her attention.

"three."

"two."

"…one!"

"Rob!!!"

The moment the order was given, the crisp sound of the mouse clicking could be heard in the dormitory.

Even though they reacted so quickly, the concert tickets were sold out in almost a second, and the same picture was displayed on the four people's computer screens.

"Ticket grabbing failed"

“…”

As a new fan of Bian Cheng, He Shiyi felt that this was outrageous. He looked up to the sky and sighed, wanting to cry but unable to. "No way, are these tickets so hard to get——"

“I didn’t waste even a second, and it was gone in a second???”

She even blamed the lucky seal Jiang Qiannan gave her, frowning and complaining, "Didn't Jiang Qiannan say that this seal could bring good luck? How come I can't even get a concert ticket?"

Ji Miaomiao turned around to answer her and comforted He Shiyi, "This only means that the singer you're chasing has too many fans. There are only a few concert tickets. With such a large fan base, it must be difficult to grab them."

Tickets are hard to come by, and He Shiyi is almost bowing down to Bian Cheng’s huge fan base.

Without her spiritual support, she felt as if all her energy had been drained away, her shoulders slumped, her brows drooping, "Ah - I'm so sad, wuwuwu..."

Chen Zhan patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay, Shiyi. There will be another concert next time."

Although he understood this logic, He Shiyi was still very sad at the moment. He leaned on Chen Zan's shoulder and sobbed a few times.

"Buzz—"

The phone on the table rang.

Chen Zan helped He Shiyi get it and told her that it was Jiang Qiannan calling.

Just in time for her to criticize the little stamp he gave her! She had absolutely no luck, huh?! He couldn't even help me get concert tickets, so how could he help me win 100 million in the lottery?

She answered the call angrily, put the phone to her ear, and said "Hello" in a bad tone.

Then, a voice came from the other end casually, "Kid, I got the ticket for you."

The anger that had just emerged was extinguished in an instant, and the air around him seemed to freeze. "W...what?"

"I said, I got you four concert tickets, actually." Jiang Qiannan teased her on the other end of the phone, "How are you? Is my brother awesome?"

She had prepared a lot of complaints to tell him, but they got stuck in her throat after Jiang Qiannan finished speaking.

"Hey, He Shiyi, I'm asking you a question. How capable is your brother?" The voice on the other end of the phone urged.

He Shiyi had never thought Jiang Qiannan's voice was so beautiful. Almost instantly, she was overjoyed, "Amazing! Jiang Qiannan, you are amazing!!"

The man on the other end chuckled in satisfaction at the praise, even pretending to be obedient. "Whatever our sister Shi Yi says, I will definitely do my best to fulfill it, even if it means going through fire and water."

"Jiang Qiannan, don't give me that," He Shiyi said, laughing and teasing him. "You're going through fire and water, but can you help me win 100 million?"

The person on the other side seemed to have not expected He Shiyi to say this, and he tutted softly, "You're really putting me in a difficult position. Where can I get cash for you?"

"Pfft—" He Shiyi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "I was just teasing you."

"Little ghost, is your skin itchy?"

"So what if I'm itchy? Why don't you hit me?"

"You're holding me back from touching you, aren't you?"

“That’s what it is.”

After a few words with Jiang Qiannan on the phone, they both hung up.

He Shiyi couldn't hide her joy, and said to the other three sisters in the dormitory, "No need to wait for the next time! We've already got the tickets!"

"I know—" Tao Yiran laughed and exposed her, "We all heard you making the phone call just now. Brother Qiannan helped to grab it."

“…”

He Shiyi was very happy to have snatched the concert tickets. She didn't get angry with Tao Yiran for the time being, and even smiled playfully to praise Jiang Qiannan, "That's also because our brother Qiannan is good at it."

Ji Miaomiao also laughed at her, "Look in the mirror now, your face is almost broken from laughing."

He Shiyi couldn't control the curve of her lips. She raised her hand to rub her face and turned to look at Chen Zhan, as if asking for confirmation, "Really?"

"Yeah." Chen Zan nodded and said with a smile: "Miaomiao is right, it is almost rotten."

“…”

The concert was to be held next month, and his studies wouldn't be too tight at that time, so He Shiyi asked Chen Zan to join him, and Chen Zan readily agreed.

The temperature had already risen, and He Shiyi had dressed up for the concert. She wore a red, skinny T-shirt, revealing half her midriff. Because she'd had appendectomy, she'd cleverly used stickers to cover the unsightly scar. She wore denim shorts, which made her legs look slimmer and longer. She'd also tied her hair up, parting it into low buns behind her ears, and topped it with a white baseball cap, looking youthful and energetic.

Chen Zan was dressed much more casually, in a light blue knee-length dress with only a bow design at the waist, simple and plain.

After making an appointment with Jiang Qiannan to meet at the gymnasium entrance, Chen Zhan and He Shiyi arrived at the gymnasium on time at six in the evening.

As night falls, the streets light up with bright lights, especially in front of the stadium. Groups of fans who come to watch the concert are holding cheering sticks and signs in their hands, and some even wear glowing headbands, waiting in groups at the concert door.

From a distance, it looks like a restless fluorescent sea.

It was the first time that He Shiyi had seen such a grand scene, and he opened his mouth in surprise.

It was the first time she realized how popular Bian Cheng was.

"He's so amazing—" He Shiyi's eyes were full of admiration. He pulled Chen Zan and said, "He really deserves to be the one I've chosen..."

"Zhanzhan, believe me, after you listen to the songs he sings, you will like him too."

Not wanting to spoil her happy mood, Chen Zan nodded and agreed.

After a while, Jiang Qiannan came over. He was not alone, and He Jingsui was with him.

When he saw him, Chen Zan was obviously stunned.

I didn't expect him to come.

As soon as Jiang Qiannan found them, his face darkened. He looked at He Shiyi, who was dressed so coolly that it couldn't be cooler, frowned, and said in a serious tone, "He Shiyi, why are you dressed like this?"

"How is it?" He Shiyi didn't notice Jiang Qiannan's anger, and even opened his hands and turned them in a circle in front of him, "Does it look good?"

“…”

"I dressed up specially today."

“…”

Jiang Qiannan couldn't help but say venomously: "It's ugly."

“…”

"It's so ugly."

“…”

He Shiyi was in an extremely good mood right now and didn't feel like getting angry with him. She raised her chin and acted like a princess, "He's just a troublemaker, you don't know how to appreciate him."

“…”

Jiang Qiannan snorted helplessly, turned his head away proudly, and suddenly regretted helping her get the tickets.

But He Shiyi is different. She feels happy when she thinks that she will be able to hear Bian Cheng singing soon.

His gaze shifted from Jiang Qiannan to He Jingsui.

He was wearing a light blue polo shirt today, looking very refreshing.

Almost a typical young man.

In just a short while, many girls had already glued their eyes to him.

But he acted as if nothing had happened and didn't pay any attention to the glances directed at him.

He lazily put his hands in his pockets and looked at He Shiyi, and their eyes met right on the spot.

The surrounding lights and neon lights were flickering, but his eyes swept over her slowly and steadily.

He Shiyi couldn't stand He Jingsui's deliberate gaze the most. She immediately backed down and hid behind Chen Zan, leaving only her head exposed.

"He Jingsui, don't look at me like that!" He Shiyi accuses mercilessly, "I'm really afraid that you'll turn into a monster and eat me in the next second."

When she dodged away, He Jingsui's sight naturally fell on Chen Zan.

She dresses much more formally than He Shiyi.

His gaze didn't stay on her for long, but he looked at He Shiyi and snorted, "What? Are you still scared?"

"Who said I was scared?"

"Then why are you hiding?"

“…”

Under the pressure of her blood, He Shiyi had no choice but to give in. She lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, rubbing her fingers against each other for a while, then carefully raised her eyes and found that He Jingsui was still staring at her.

“…”

She pulled the corners of her lips stiffly and laughed twice.

A strange and quiet atmosphere spread around them in circles.

Suddenly, an idea came to her.

Break the awkward atmosphere by making small talk.

"Brother, have you noticed that you and Zhanzhan are wearing clothes of the same color, like a couple's outfit."

The topic suddenly turned to Chen Zan.

Chen Zan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously met He Jingsui's eyes looking towards him.

Dark and deep.

In the darkness, it shone like a black gem. The moment their eyes met, they both felt a little uncomfortable.

Chen Zhan even felt as if his whole body was being roasted by fire.

He Shiyi is no longer embarrassed. Now she is the one who is embarrassed.
