Chapter 105 - 105 105 Thank You to My Dear Friend for Coming

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Thank You to My Dear Friend for Coming to My Concert Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Thank You to My Dear Friend for Coming to My Concert She could tell that Jiang Fanyue’s popularity was skyrocketing without end.

Jiang Zhe pulled out his cellphone and glanced at his Weibo, which he rarely used.

Then he turned off the phone and put it in his bag.

The concert officially began, and everyone got into the spirit of it.

…

On the noisy streets, there were still many fans who couldn’t buy tickets and couldn’t enter the venue.

But that didn’t dampen their enthusiasm.

A Lincoln moved very slowly amidst the crowd and the traffic.

Qin Hai, who was driving, was somewhat helpless, honking the horn and sounding the siren to no avail.

“Jingchen Bro, we can’t get through ahead, and we’re also blocked from behind,” Fen Ye reported to Qin Jingchen sitting beside him.

Qin Jingchen, who had his eyes slightly closed, slowly opened them and pursed his thin lips, saying, “Let’s stop at the side.”

“Qin Hai, pull over. I’ll find a place for us to sit for a while.”

Qin Jingchen had just finished up his work and was planning to meet Jiang Zhe for a meal at No.1 Middle School.

However, the messages he sent out went unanswered.

The calls he made were also not picked up.

In fact, he had contact with Jiang Zhe more or less every day, and it was only a few days since they last saw each other.

Holding his cell phone, he followed Fen Ye’s steps and took a seat in a coffee shop.

Coffee was served, and Qin Jingchen appeared somewhat nonchalant, twirling his cell phone and looking at the outside still clogged with traffic, he asked Fen Ye, “Does Jincheng often get this congested?”

“Not really. I heard that today there’s some idol holding a concert,” Fen Ye said, “I’ll ask a friend about the situation.”

Qin Jingchen put down his phone, picked up his coffee, and slowly sipped it.

Fen Ye asked his friends on WeChat about the situation.

While saying, “Maybe the jam will clear up after a while, it’s rare for Jincheng to be this lively.”

Qin Jingchen did not comment, his eyes slightly deep, and glanced at his phone; there was still no movement from Jiang Zhe today, no replies to messages or phone calls.

All of a sudden, Fen Ye burst out with an exclamation: “Damn it!”

His tone was different from usual, and Qin Jingchen asked, “What happened?”

“Well, I saw a photo,” Fen Ye hesitated, wondering whether to hand over his cell phone.

“Give it to me.” Qin Jingchen, hearing his tone, knew this was no ordinary photo.

Fen Ye hesitantly handed over his phone: “I should say first that I don’t know if it’s real or fake. I just asked a friend about the situation here, and he happens to have a friend in charge of Xu Jin’s new album promotion, asking me if I wanted to get his album in advance. He sent me this yet-to-be-released cover album…”

Qin Jingchen took the cell phone and clicked on the page Fen Ye mentioned, where indeed there was a photo.

The cover proof of the album.

It was the final version, but not yet printed.

In the photo, Qin Jingchen didn’t look closely at Xu Jin.

But the girl beside him was exceptionally striking and familiar.

Xu Jin was slightly bowing his head while Jiang Zhe, with one hand tugging at his tie and the other on his shoulder, looked up towards the position of his neck.

Their gazes did not meet, but the tension was palpable, and the ambiguous atmosphere flowed between them, drawing more attention than the colorful lights in the backdrop.

Qin Jingchen’s fingers tightened slightly, his seductive teardrop mole shimmering with a blur of indecipherable emotions.

Fen Ye grabbed his phone back, “It’s not certain yet. Might just be someone who looks similar…”

But as he finished speaking, he saw the familiar school uniform Jiang Zhe was wearing in the photo, as well as her distinctive facial features.

If anyone could have similar features to hers, it was hard to find someone whose aura was nearly as close as hers.

Fen Ye stopped talking.

Qin Jingchen’s slender and well-defined fingers rested on the phone, but he didn’t pick it up or press anything.

Fen Ye glanced outside, where the traffic on the street had already cleared up, yet he didn’t remind Qin Jingchen to get back into the car.

…

The concert was in full swing.

Xu Jin was a born idol, who had gone from not being able to sing to shining on stage in an exceedingly short time.

And now, no one could deny that he was meant for the stage.

The fans below sang along, waving their glow sticks, all immersed in his singing.

Cheers echoed in Jiang Zhe’s ears.

She sat slanted in her seat, listening attentively, but her expression remained indifferent, no different from usual.

Her beautiful fox-like eyes occasionally drooped slightly, always appearing disinterested.

As one song ended, the concert was nearing its second half and approaching the finale.

With a microphone in his hand and still slightly out of breath, Xu Jin said, “Thank you all for coming.”

The audience erupted in cheers.

“I am honored to hold this concert in Jincheng. Today, besides thanking my fans from all over the country for their support, I am also very grateful to a very good friend of mine who came to support me.”

His words sparked an enthusiastic response.

Sitting in the inner field, Jiang Fanyue hadn’t expected him to publicly respond to the matter about a good friend.

She felt a tinge of unease, wondering if Xu Jin would publicly discredit her?

After all, the trouble she had caused recently was somewhat significant.

But then she thought it through and realized no artist would make clarifications that could lead to speculation in a public setting.

So, was he acknowledging their friendship?

Jiang Fanyue remembered chatting and taking pictures with Xu Jin, it was when he was shooting his breakout work, back when he was still an eighteen-tier celebrity, and the Jiang family did indeed give him significant assistance, Xu Jin had even tasted food she made herself.

She had specifically brought pastries she made to the set for everyone to enjoy, but at that time, she was mainly aiming to gain the favor of the leading man in the production, yet unexpectedly, the leading man declined, so she gave them to Xu Jin instead.

Xu Jin had even specially thanked her for it.

Could it be that he recalled this incident, and with Gu Jiaheng mediating in the background, Xu Jin made this move?

Thinking this, Jiang Fanyue almost confirmed that the person Gu Jiaheng would mention had to be her.

Even if it wasn’t, as long as he didn’t single out a friend by name, she could still claim credit on Weibo later.

Jiang Fanyue was right; many of her fans online had also begun to feel that the friend Xu Jin mentioned must be Jiang Fanyue, and they started claiming it on her behalf under the topic.

Other than Jiang Fanyue, who else could receive such treatment?

In the VIP box, Xia Enci and the others were all ears, afraid of missing any word from Xu Jin.

But would the friend he spoke of be Jiang Fanyue?

Xia Enci was both nervous and uneasy, holding hands with Xiao Meng and praying that it wouldn’t be Jiang Fanyue.

After the cheers from below subsided, Xu Jin continued, “This very good friend of mine is also in the audience right now, and she is sitting at…”
