Chapter 45 - 45 Sweet Dreams Tonight
45 Sweet Dreams Tonight
The venue was packed with 80,000 people.
Nan Ge and Shen Yanqing went in and happened to see the opening ceremony. They only missed it by two minutes.
The two of them were sitting high up. Although they were not closest to the stage, the view was excellent and the seats were very comfortable.
It was considered a VIP seat in the venue.
!!
Such seats had always been saved for some of the organizers and singers’ close industry friends.
They could not even be purchased with money if one tried. Naturally, the seats below could not compare.
Assistant Yuan and Gao were already prepared to send Shen Yanqing off together. Unexpectedly, before they could send him off, he disappeared… No, correction. He was already gone.
They thought that they would have to work overtime together, but they received a WeChat notification from Shen Yanqing at the last minute. He told them to go back first and leave the car behind.
Gao did not want to leave. “I’d better stay and drive for President Shen.”
Assistant Yuan said, “When you try to look hardworking, can you take my life into consideration?”
“You can go back first if you like. I can wait here for a while.”
“…” Assistant Yuan took a deep breath and poked his stupid head. “Gao, how did you trick your wife into marrying you?”
“President Shen asked us to leave because he doesn’t want a third wheel! It’s not easy for him to be alone with Miss Nan Ge. Aren’t you causing trouble by staying here?!”
“Is that so?” Gao did not understand.
Speechless, Assistant Yuan pulled him out of the car. “Just get out and leave. It’s not easy to get a taxi here. Come on. I can give you a ride.”
——
The concert officially began. The dazed baby penguin sat on the chair and grabbed the railing in front of her. She shook her head along with the music on the stage.
The concert was extremely high.
Shen Yanqing liked silence and was indifferent to the atmosphere.
He sat at the side and kept his gaze on Nan Ge.
After a while, the boy band on the stage changed their song. The atmosphere below the stage became even more enthusiastic, and cheers sounded endlessly.
Shen Yanqing took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows. It was an extraordinary headache.
However, in the next second, Nan Ge turned around and looked at him. “Are you feeling unwell?”
He paused and put on his glasses again. He smiled at her. “No.”
Nan Ge recalled that it was New Year’s Eve, so she said, “If you’re busy, why don’t you go back first? You probably have to go home for dinner, right?”
“I have an unusual family. Most of them are overseas, so we don’t have to go back today.”
“I called you to ask if you would get off work early today and have a meal together.”
“Huh…” Nan Ge was stunned.
She had been so focused on the concert that she had completely forgotten to ask him why he had called.
At the thought of this, she felt a little guilty. “Haven’t you had dinner yet? Why don’t…”
“I’ve eaten.” Shen Yanqing raised his hand and rubbed her head. He could not bear to see her like this. “I just thought that you might not have eaten yet, so I wanted to eat with you and stay with you for a while.”
“What about you? Have you eaten tonight?”
“Yes, yes!” Baby Penguin nodded hard and counted with her fingers. “I ate a hamburger on my way out. I even ate a small loaf of bread and a piece of chocolate when I was waiting outside to enter the venue.”
He smiled and said gently, “That’s good. After watching the concert with you, I can achieve my last goal today.”
“Looks like I can have a good dream tonight.”
Nan Ge puffed up her cheeks and quietly looked away, leaving him with only the side of her face and a red ear.
——
This boy band was popular all over the world. Their performance ability was recognized as the best in the industry.
Soon, the next show was Nan Ge’s favorite performance.
She stood up excitedly, startling Shen Yanqing beside her. The latter looked at her in a daze and then looked past her to the stage.
A few seconds later, President Shen silently retracted his gaze. Forget it, he could not understand…
He took a bottle of water from the side and unscrewed it.
Just as she was about to drink it, she saw Nan Ge jump back and start rummaging through her bag.
“What’s wrong?” His gaze followed her movements.
“I forgot that I bought those at the door.”
“?” President Shen did not understand.
Nan Ge kept rummaging until she took out a headband and light board from her bag and handed it to him. “Tada!”
The lights on it almost blinded President Shen.
“It’s fate. It was a buy-one-get-one-free. I’ll give you one!” Nan Ge generously handed him one of the headbands.
Shen Yanqing looked at them again and hesitated.
“I think it looks pretty good! Do you like it?”
As she spoke, she put one on her head and shook her head from time to time. She looked quite happy.
Shen Yanqing hesitated and struggled again. In the end, he silently twisted the bottle cap back on and compromised. “Give it to me.”
He did not answer whether he liked it or not. He really did not want to lie.
...
“Oh?” Nan Ge blinked and obediently gave him the other one. She even thoughtfully gave him a light board. “You can have this too.”
She looked like she was willing to part with her love since it was him as if she would definitely not give it to anyone else.
Seeing this, Shen Yanqing felt a little better.
However, when his gaze slid to the words on the light board, his fingertips trembled and he suddenly regretted it.
“Take the light board. I’ll help you put it on!” Nan Ge was enjoying herself and did not notice his bitter mood. She took the headband, got up, and put it on his head.
After that, she took a step back and rubbed her chin seriously. In the end, she raised her thumb and commented, “Nice!”
Shen Yanqing: “…” He smiled.
——
At the concert, Nan Ge did not forget her brother’s instructions and took selfies openly.
However, from this angle, the selfie was too small to see the stage.
She looked at Shen Yanqing for help. “Can you take two photos for me?”
...
“Of course.” Shen Yanqing took out his phone.
He moved so quickly that Nan Ge did not have time to hand over her phone.
Seeing that he had already pointed the phone at her, Nan Ge could only put her phone in her pocket and get into position with a smile. “Make sure the stage behind can be seen.”
“Okay,” he agreed.
After taking the photo, Shen Yanqing opened WeChat. “I’ll send it to you.”
“Okay.” Nan Ge received the photo and clicked on it to take a closer look. “Thank you! It’s a good photo. I want to post it on my WeChat Moments.”
She made a nine-panel grid and posted it on her WeChat Moments.
“Do you want a photo taken as well?” she asked him.
Shen Yanqing was still looking at the two photos she had taken just now and was stunned.
“Here?” He looked around. For some reason, he was also a little nervous.
“Yeah.”
“If you want photos taken, I can help you!”
Shen Yanqing did not refuse or agree. After thinking for a few seconds, he suggested, “Why don’t we take a photo together?”
“Me and you?”
“Yes.” The man nodded gently with a faint smile on his lips. “It’s my first time watching a concert, and it’s with you. I think it’s very memorable. Is that okay?”
