Chapter 1195: A Romantic Date Goes Sour

The concert was held at the largest stadium in Jiangzhou.

The road in front of the stadium was very wide; usually, it wouldn't be congested easily... it never congested, but today it was, a once-in-a-century event!

It wasn't just a traffic jam; it was a human jam too!

The road was full of people, packed so densely they couldn't move; Shi Ran and Yun Qitian were squeezed in the middle of the crowd, unable to move forward or backward.

He circled his arms to form a ring, enclosing Shi Ran in the middle to protect her from being crushed by others.

And he bore all the pressure himself.

He was about to be squeezed out of shape, but he still tried his best to hold on, not letting Shi Ran be crushed by the people.

Shi Ran: "Qi Tian, you don't need to worry about me, I'm fine."

She had started out very ladylike, but later discovered that in this kind of situation, being a lady was of no use.

So she learned from the others and struggled to push people away to create space for herself and Yun Qitian.

Two people working together was better than one; although they were still being crowded, they moved forward slowly.

After moving slowly through the dense crowd for over ten minutes, they had only advanced twenty-some meters.

Yun Qitian regretted it: "If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have come to the concert. Wouldn't it be better to go eat at a street stall?"

Ever since the first time he went to eat at a street stall with Shi Ran, he had fallen in love with that food which his mother strictly forbade and declared unhygienic.

It was unhygienic, but every stall had its own unique flavor.

Five-star hotel restaurants, high-end eateries, or Michelin restaurants might look hygienic, but the taste always felt monotonous; it wasn't that it wasn't delicious, it just lacked a bit of the flavor of life.

Shi Ran actually regretted it too, but this concert was to thank Yun Qitian for coming, so before he said he regretted it, she couldn't say that this was paying money to suffer.

"Wow—"

"Ahhhhh!"

"Xiao Ge, I love you!"

"I'd give my life for you!"

The already overcrowded crowd suddenly became restless.

Many people were screaming and lunging in one direction!

Shi Ran was almost knocked over, but fortunately, Yun Qitian reacted quickly and pulled her into his arms in time, shielding her tightly.

Those crazy boys and girls rushed past, and only then did the two of them let out a long sigh of relief.

It was too terrifying; it was the first time they had seen so many people go crazy at the same time.

Shi Ran was puzzled: "What's wrong with them?"

Yun Qitian pursed his lips toward the front: "Xiao Ge's car is here, they're going to get autographs!"

"Oh my god!"

Shi Ran expressed that she couldn't understand; risking being crushed to death just for an autograph, was it worth it?

Yun Qitian: "I don't think it's worth it."

Not only did the two of them feel it wasn't worth it, they didn't even have the mood to watch the concert anymore.

But the money had already been spent, and it would be a pity not to watch.

Although both of their families were very wealthy, they knew not to be wasteful.

Yun Qitian asked for Shi Ran's opinion: "Ranran, how about we sell the tickets to a scalper, and then you use the money from the tickets to treat me to street food?"

Shi Ran happily agreed: "Okay."

They had first-row tickets in their hands, which were very easy to sell.

The scalper and Xiao Ge's fanboys and fangirls were already fighting over these two tickets, and in the end, they competed to offer high prices; the tickets, which originally cost five thousand yuan each, were snatched up for thirty thousand yuan each.

The rich kid who snatched the tickets was grinning from ear to ear.

He struck a victorious pose, walked with an arrogant swagger, and walked into the venue with his little girlfriend.

Yun Qitian was also grinning from ear to ear; he was even happier than that rich kid!

Selling the tickets for thirty thousand yuan each meant sixty thousand for two tickets.

With the funds earmarked for a specific purpose, sixty thousand yuan spent on street food—how many meals would that be?

In other words, he would be together with Shi Ran at work and together after work for a long time!

At night.

Yun Qitian took Shi Ran home, and the two said goodbye at the door.

Yun Qitian: "Aren't you going to invite me in to sit for a while?"

Shi Ran: "No need, if you go in it will be troublesome; our family doesn't know about our relationship, and they always like to play matchmaker."

His lips moved several times, and he almost blurted out to tell Shi Ran that his sexual orientation was perfectly normal, that he liked girls, that he liked her.

But in the end, he controlled himself.

Now was not the time to confess; although Shi Ran looked like she was fine on the surface, she still had that person in her heart, not yet erased.

He was willing to give her time, he was willing to wait!

So, he smiled shyly and agreed: "Okay, then I'm going back, don't forget to keep treating me tomorrow."

"I know, I know, look at how stingy you are, I won't forget."

The two waved goodbye, and Shi Ran pushed open the main gate—"Ah!" She was startled.

People scaring people, it's enough to scare someone to death.

The living room lights weren't on, so she thought everyone had gone to sleep, after all, it was already very late.

As it turned out, her parents were standing straight at the door like living door gods!

"Clack!" The lights turned on.

Shi Youxuan smiled meaningfully: "Why are you back so late? Was the concert good?"

Shi Ran did not tell the truth and answered vaguely: "Mm, it was quite good."

She prepared to return to her room but was stopped by her father again: "Did you two just come back after watching the concert? Didn't Qi Tian invite you to eat out?"

After asking, he noticed a scent on his daughter.

Something was wrong.

It was not the smell of perfume, but the smell of barbecue.

So he sniffed hard again, and now he could be sure; it was indeed the smell of barbecue.

"What are you doing?" Shi Ran instinctively stepped back, her face full of vigilance and a bit of guilt.

"Who did you go out to eat with? The person who dropped you off just now wasn't Qi Tian?" Sheng Hanyu had reason to be suspicious, because the Yun Family would never go out to eat barbecue.

Not to mention eating out, even when friends gathered, Ma Ling'er would repeatedly emphasize the harms of barbecue!

"You are becoming more and more gossipy; you don't learn the good things but learn to pry into others' business."

Shi Ran did not answer directly, bypassed him from the side, and returned to her room.

Sheng Hanyu wanted to pursue and ask more, but Shi Youxuan pulled her husband back: "The child is grown up, don't always pry; it's a good thing she doesn't want to tell you. If she were open and told you everything, then Qi Tian and our Ranran would really have no chance!"

He thought about it and felt his wife made sense.

Forget it, a son grown up is beyond his mother's control, and his daughter is no longer like when she was little and told him everything.

Although Sheng Hanyu felt a bit defeated, he still wanted to try hard to bring his daughter and Yun Qitian together.

At the company, he had been creating opportunities for the two of them, such as project inspections and business trips, trying his best to have them go together to cultivate their relationship.

Shi Youxuan was not idle at home either.

Today it was concert tickets, tomorrow a reservation at a Western restaurant, and the day after it was a play performance...

The couple cooperated with great tacit understanding, taking turns creating opportunities for the two.

Finally, Shi Ran saw it.

She felt it was necessary to explain this matter clearly to her parents.

Shi Ran found her parents and very solemnly announced: "Dad, Mom, stop wasting time on useless things; Qi Tian and I are like sisters, not what you think."
