Chapter 62 [VIP] The Scumbag Rich Second Generation (18)

Soon, the day they had agreed upon arrived.

Zhou Chiyan obviously attaches great importance to this day. Most of the cultural and artistic performances held on university campuses are held by students on their own initiative, and the school does not interfere much. A successful evening performance can definitely make your resume more impressive.

Many students who came to watch the performance and people from other schools who came to join in the fun gathered at the backstage door. Nan Yan found the backstage lounge according to the address Zhou Chiyan gave her. There were many staff members coming in and out.

Most of the performers on the stage were young handsome men and beautiful women. They gathered together to discuss the evening's programs, and some were rehearsing the script. They were well-dressed and very eye-catching.

Nan Yan poked her head out of the door and was spotted by the sharp-eyed Zhou Chiyan. He didn't care that he was still styling himself, and rushed over happily and pulled her in.

"Why did you come just now?"

The tone was not one of blame.

Instead, it exudes a sense of intimacy.

His breathing was a little rapid, and his face was still painted with delicate stage makeup. He looked completely different from usual. There were a few sparkling rhinestones dotted at the end of his eyes, which did not make him look feminine at all. They sparkled brightly under the lights and were particularly eye-catching.

If Zhou Chiyan usually pretended to be docile and obedient, then at this moment he had completely taken off his disguise, and the desires in his bones were released.

Nan Yan looked him up and down before saying, "I'm not familiar with your school, so I looked around before I came here."

Zhou Chiyan lowered his head and laughed, "Then why don't you call me so I can pick you up." His eyes sparkled when he laughed, and she was in his mind as he spoke.

Nan Yan patted his shoulder to prevent him from ruining his makeup. "Come on, it's just a short distance away. I can find it myself and come over. Why do I need you to take it? Come on, be quiet and stop rubbing it. You'll ruin your makeup."

Zhou Chiyan didn't seem to care about this little thing, but he still stood up straight and stood close to her.

"I can't help but be happy when you come. How can I control this kind of thing? Girlfriend, can't you be nicer to me tonight? Don't always dislike me like this?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "How am I being mean to you? Didn't I agree to all your requests? Does this count as abandoning you?"

Zhou Chiyan then grinned, revealing all his white teeth, "I don't care, if you don't let me hug you, it means you dislike me."

He pulled Nan Yan into his arms along her arm, then smiled with his eyebrows curved and the fresh scent of mint candy wafted from his mouth, making it difficult for people to feel any resistance.

This happy look seems a little silly.

Those who didn’t know would think he had won some lottery jackpot, but it was just his girlfriend who came to watch his performance. Perhaps it was some kind of possessiveness in his bones that started to play tricks on him.

After he hugged the person, he started to give instructions.

"I've already picked your seat for you. It's the one in the middle of the third row. Just sit opposite that seat."

Nan Yan responded.

Zhou Chiyan felt happy no matter how he looked at her. He kissed her on the forehead and told her not to peek at other men. But then he thought it might be a little difficult, so he gave in and said that if she wanted to look, she could only look at him...

He repeated this over and over again. If the situation had not allowed, this man would have wanted to tie her to the waistband of her pants. Nan Yan was really annoyed.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he waved goodbye and turned towards the auditorium.

It cannot be denied that the students’ performances were outstanding, especially Zhou Chiyan on the stage, who seemed like a completely different person. His performance can definitely be described as top-notch.

He was too handsome, and every inch of his facial features looked like the result of careful polishing. He had the cleanliness of a teenager, as well as the rationality and maturity of an adult. His tall and slender figure gave people a sense of oppression.

Especially the way he looks at people, which is particularly cold when he is not smiling, with stern eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and an appearance that keeps people at a distance.

Nan Yan also roughly understood his private personality. He was possessive and vengeful, and the indifference in his bones seemed more real.

Most of the young girls on the field came here because of his reputation, so you can imagine how popular he is in the school.

In the second half, the performance finally ended. Nan Yan only saw that as he left the stage, nearly half of the girls could no longer hold back, and hurriedly went to the backstage one by one, using the excuse of going to the bathroom, probably hoping to have a romantic encounter.

Nan Yan went out the back door, and Zhou Chi Yan also showed up at this time. She hadn't removed her stage makeup yet, and she didn't go to the lounge. Instead, she was waiting for her here.

The slender figure was half hidden in the darkness. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all. Nan Yan couldn't help but laugh at his breathless appearance. "Why are you squatting here? Didn't you see that they all went backstage to look for you?"

Zhou Chiyan took her hand and walked to another lounge. He didn't seem angry when he heard this, but rather a little happy.

In his eyes, this is a manifestation of jealousy. What does jealousy mean? It means that she cares about him.

He smiled, and all the pressure he had felt disappeared instantly, leaving only a foolish man who couldn't be any more stupid. "What does other people's business have to do with me? Have you forgotten what you promised me tonight?"

He was talking about introducing her to his friends, which she naturally remembered.

Nan Yan was dragged by him to another lounge.

Zhou Chiyan walked all the way to the bathroom and said to her as he walked, "Wait for me for a moment. I'll change my clothes first."

Nan Yan sat on the sofa and waited for him as she said. After a few minutes, the man came out dressed neatly, in casual clothes without too much decoration. He looked different from the one on the stage. He looked clean and refreshing, which reminded people of their first love in high school.

…

The restaurant was located on the top floor of a building in the city center, not far from the school. It was a celebratory banquet after the party, and there were private rooms on the upper floor that had been booked in advance.

As soon as the two of them entered, several familiar young men and women in the house greeted them. There were quite a few of them and their attitudes were very familiar.

I originally thought it was just an ordinary gathering with friends for dinner, but Zhou Chiyan seemed to have prepared it very seriously. He invited many familiar friends and booked the entire place. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he really put a lot of thought into it this time.

"Zhou Chiyan, why did you come just now? We have been waiting for you for a long time." The person who spoke was a girl who was surrounded by a group of boys and was being courted by them. She had slightly curly hair and a striking appearance, and she was someone he had known during a previous social gathering.

Zhou Chiyan greeted a few people.

The girl's eyes moved around Nan Yan, and she didn't know what she was thinking of. Her eyes suddenly became meaningful: "Who did I think it would be? This is the girlfriend you were talking about. Zhou Chiyan, you are really amazing. You keep your word and you got her so easily."

There was nothing wrong with what she said, but the contempt in her tone made it particularly uncomfortable to listen to.

Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, and naturally saw the hidden hostility between the girl's eyebrows and her little thoughts about Zhou Chiyan, but she did not point it out.

On the contrary, Zhou Chiyan glanced at the girl coldly, without any gentlemanly manners at all, and said, "If you can't speak, you can shut up. You have the worst voice in the whole box."

Everyone: “…”

She is a girl after all, it would be embarrassing for her.

The curly-haired girl's expression suddenly stiffened, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at him with a look that was half shameful and half resentful.

Finally, my roommate came out to smooth things over. "Okay, we're all friends. Why don't we talk about this? Let's talk about something else. What do you guys want to drink? How about beer?"

Although everyone knew that the transition was a little awkward, the people around were all smart enough to see what was going on, so they all agreed at the same time.

The girl was surrounded by several boys and sat in the middle. The expression on her face was still not very good. Fortunately, the atmosphere gradually became lively, so no one continued to care about the previous incident.

Nan Yan watched this wonderful show very calmly.

Everyone started chatting. When Nan Yan and Zhou Chiyan first arrived, they looked at them with a hint of teasing. However, after seeing how protective they were, the contempt they had for them gradually disappeared.

It's easy to get bored if you stay in the box for too long, especially after three rounds of drinks, when a group of men and women start singing, chatting, and playing games, and the room becomes even noisier than outside.

Fortunately, the wine shop has good sound insulation.

Nan Yan couldn't help but pinch his fingers.

Zhou Chiyan naturally lowered his head. The two of them were very close to each other. To others, they looked like a very intimate couple. "I'm going to the bathroom."

Zhou Chiyan let go of her hand. He originally wanted to go with her, but he was the protagonist of today's game. It would not be nice to leave all his friends behind, so he gave up after thinking about it.

After she finished speaking, she stood up, her skirt forming a beautiful curve at her fair ankles, and she gracefully opened the door and walked out.

The girl opposite glanced at her several times.

Seeing her leave, he naturally couldn't sit still.

I don't know when he walked to Zhou Chiyan and sat down.

"Chiyan, I watched your performance tonight. You sang very well."

Don't hit someone who smiles at you. The girl softened her voice and her lips were stained with some wet red wine, which made her look particularly sweet under the light.

Some people were cheering, while others were blinking and joking, seeming to be very much looking forward to what would happen next.

After all, Zhou Mianmian can be regarded as the real school belle of their class. She is quite delicate and pretty, yet gentle and sweet. Especially when she looks at you with such gentle eyes and talks to you, it is difficult for anyone to refuse her approach.

During the dating, many boys had already confessed their love to the girl, but they were all rejected without exception. The reason was that they already had a lover and liked the girl in front of them. But even so, Zhou Mianmian was still the most popular one among the girls.

Zhou Chiyan took a sip of wine and said "hmm" in a light tone as a response.

Not only was the girl not put off by his cold attitude, but she showed great interest in his response, and the smile on her face did not change at all.

"Did your girlfriend just leave like that?"

The implication is that she didn't even say hello, and it seems that she doesn't take these friends seriously.

"I heard before I came here that your girlfriend is Senior He's ex-girlfriend. By the way, didn't Senior He give you any trouble?"

Her voice was soft and light, just loud enough for everyone in the box to hear clearly. There was a hint of innocence in her tone, as if she had touched on this topic accidentally, like a gossipy little girl.

Zhou Chiyan groaned, picked up a can of beer on the table and passed it to her. He patted the girl's shoulder gently and reminded her, "Come on, drink more."

He smiled gently and passed the wine glass over.

This smile seemed more like encouragement to Zhou Mianmian. She felt a little embarrassed and waved her hand, saying, "No, thank you. I don't drink at night."

Zhou Chiyan suppressed the corners of his mouth, still smiling, but there was not much smile in his eyes, and they were cold.

"If you don't drink, eat more fruit."

He whispered in a strangely gentle voice, "You have to chew something. If these can't stop your mouth, I don't mind finding someone to help you stop it."

As soon as these words came out, the girl's expression changed immediately.

Her face turned red at a speed almost visible to the naked eye, and with it came an embarrassment that was hard to ignore. Perhaps it was because she received so many looks, and even her friends around her felt embarrassed for her.

However, no one expected Zhou Chiyan to say such a thing. He did not have the gentlemanly manners that a man should have at all.

Zhou Mianmian, who felt embarrassed, also reacted at this moment, especially when he saw the strange and teasing looks from his companions. He blurted out on impulse:

"Everyone knows about your relationship with He Yanzhou. You stole his girlfriend just for revenge. Only Xu Nanyan is so stupid that she is still kept in the dark by you."

Zhou Chiyan's face changed drastically.

She felt a little regretful after she finished speaking, thinking that she was too impulsive, but it was too late, almost everyone in the box heard it.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

In particular, the expression on the face of a boy next to him was almost distorted when he saw Xu Nanyue standing behind the door.

What is this?

He coughed hard a few times and winked at the two of them, "Mianmian, what nonsense are you talking about? What's all this bullshit, revenge, and all that? We're all friends, is it necessary to make such a fuss? Why don't you apologize to them quickly and let this matter be over."

Zhou Mianmian was so angry that she couldn't listen to this advice. "When did I say anything nonsense? Didn't you tell me about this? Besides, you all heard it at the social gathering that day. He was just joking!"

The friend who was admonishing him was almost in tears.

How can it be the same? Normally, what we say are just jokes, so don't take it seriously. And judging from his attitude, how could he be joking?

But now that things have come to this, it is too late to make amends.

Especially when the two saw Xu Nanyan standing behind the door, their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.

Zhou Chiyan's face looked frighteningly ugly.

Zhou Mianmian only felt that the gaze falling on her was like a knife. If there were no other people around, she felt that she would really be beaten by this person.

She unconsciously let out a laugh.

He took a few steps back in frustration.

In the quiet space, everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on the two of them.

Zhou Chiyan then felt his heart begin to panic, his chest felt stuffy as if he had been punched hard. He forced himself to calm down and wanted to walk to Nan Yan's side.

“I am not…”

"Is it true?"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Nan Yan.

Zhou Chiyan's body froze, as if he was nailed by nails. The words he had prepared suddenly disappeared and he couldn't say anything.

Nan Yan smiled at this time.

She looked up at him, her eyes gentle as if she didn't take it to heart at all. "I just want to ask you one question, is what she just said true?"

Zhou Chiyan hardly dared to breathe. He wanted to say something, but at this moment, his throat felt so dry as if he had swallowed a handful of sand, and he couldn't utter a word.

"…It's not what you think."

His voice was dry and hoarse, but he still forced himself to explain: "I did think so at first, but later I was serious."

He explained and then looked at her reaction.

But I found that it was not quite the same as I imagined.

Nan Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, a faint light flashing in her eyes, without the expected anger or sadness at all.

Zhou Chiyan felt that something was wrong.

He wanted to walk over and touch her, to explain things.

But before his fingers touched her, he heard a soft and shallow voice coming from the front:

"Now that we've said that, let's just break up."

Nan Yan smiled at him and said without any hesitation.

"After all, I'm tired of it. It's a waste of time to keep playing these little couple tricks with an immature playboy like you."

Her tone was nonchalant, as if in her eyes, breaking up was just an ordinary little thing not worth mentioning.

Zhou Chiyan finally reacted.

It seemed as if there was some clue that connected the whole process. He finally understood why Nan Yan always treated him with indifference, why he always felt ignored, and why he could never feel that she cared about him...

Because this is not an illusion at all.

She was never serious about him from the beginning to the end.

Zhou Chiyan came back to his senses and said in a dark and unpleasant voice, "So, you were lying to me from the beginning to the end when you were with me."

"What else do you think?"

Nan Yan pursed her lips and smiled softly, "Do you think I'm stupid? So stupid that I can't see through your tricks, or do you think I would fall in love with someone like you, so naive that I think I can get revenge on him by stealing his girlfriend?"

"You are only harming yourself."

With every word she spoke, Zhou Chiyan's face turned paler, and by the end, all the color had almost disappeared from his face.

After saying these words, Nan Yan was too lazy to stay any longer. She picked up the bag on the sofa with one hand, turned around and was about to leave.

Zhou Chiyan wanted to follow.

But he was pinned to the spot by her fleeting glance.

He wasn't even given a chance to apologize.

Nan Yan left without hesitation.

The men and women around were left looking at each other in bewilderment; no one had expected this outcome.

What was originally a good party ended like this. Everyone felt a little embarrassed, especially the girls led by Zhou Mianmian. She wanted to go up and talk to them, "Zhou..."

But he was interrupted by Zhou Chiyan with an expressionless face.

"go out."

When everyone saw him like this, they came to their senses and left one after another in order to avoid being affected by this farce.

Zhou Chiyan, who was left alone, touched his chest and felt an inexplicable pain there, as if a thin thread pierced through his heart, pulling it and causing a dull pain.

The pain was not enough to tear your heart apart, but it was so subtle and intense that it was hard to ignore.
