Chapter 324 - Concert (1/2)

I feel like this could be considered kidnapping.”

”Not if you're willing to go along.”

Ying Sheng smirked at Liam's words as she stared out of the passenger door window of his car, watching trees streak past them. Like last time, Liam was intent on keeping the date idea a secret until they arrived, so she had no idea where he was taking her. For the past week, he had been completely quiet about his idea, which drove her insane with anticipation.

”Can you at least tell me how long we're going to be in the car for?” She asked him, trying to have at least one little clue.

”A few hours,”Liam replied as he briefly glanced over at her from the passenger's seat.

Ying Sheng's eyes widened at his answer, expecting him to say thirty or so minutes. He was talking about going to a whole new town, but why would he be taking her out of town? He had planned something big, but she didn't know what. He could be taking her anywhere within a few hour radius from where they lived, and they could be doing anything.

”So, this is like a whole day thing?” She asked him as her eyes shifted to the digital clock in his car. It was around eleven in the morning. He had woken her up early to get dressed and ready to go. Luckily, she had been flying through her business plan and other homework throughout the past week, so it didn't hurt her to lose a day to his plans. The work group Xing Yue had organized had actually really helped her.

”It goes pretty far into the night,” Liam replied before putting his finger to his lips. He wasn't saying anything else to her.

”Stubborn,” Ying Sheng huffed as she crossed her arms over her c.h.e.s.t. She had no clue what he had in mind, but she was still excited. He knew her enough to know what she enjoyed doing, and she couldn't help but notice that he was pretty pumped today too. It had to be something that he enjoyed too.

Along the way to wherever Liam was taking her, they stopped a few times for gas and food. Liam insisted that she hydrate and get enough to eat so that she had enough energy for later. She wasn't sure what she needed to be so powered up for, but the anticipation continued to eat at her during the entire car ride.

Only when Liam drove into a busy part of a city did Ying Sheng realize that it was one of the bigger cities in the state. She had only been here once or twice for events, like concerts. She turned her head to gaze out of her window as they passed by the city's arena, which held hockey games, concerts, and other big events.

It felt like her heart nearly leapt from her c.h.e.s.t when she saw an advertis.e.m.e.nt for Blame Lane's tour pop up on one of the big electronic screens on the exterior of the arena. She turned to look at Ying Sheng , who was smiling widely. It couldn't be true.

”You got pit tickets? They were sold out!” She gasped out.

”Someone was selling their tickets, so I snagged them,”Liam replied as he drove closer to the arena, seeking out the parking garage.
