Chapter 325 - You Come to My Concert (1/2)

In Jinling in May, the pedestrians have begun to wear long skirts or T-s.h.i.+rts. Young girls in Jinling are wearing the new summer clothes this year, which makes them look elegant and beautiful with fair skins.

Most of the girls in Rong City are delicate and lovely, while the girls in Jinling are tall and have fair skins. With an average height and a pair of sungla.s.ses, Lin Luoran is not that eye-catching like in the street of Rong City. Lin Luoran is very satisfied with her becoming normal. She takes a taxi to the Jinling University of Aeronautics and Astronautics after getting off the plane.

She still remembers that the student Pei Yuan who she has met twice is studying in the Jinling University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. And Xia Bingyan, who he likes, is also the student of that school? Her grandfather is the previous president of the school?

Lin Luoran decides to start from Pei Yuan. It should not be difficult to find Pei Yuan’s address.

It is playing a lingering love song with cla.s.sical music in the taxi. Hearing the melodious female voice, Lin Luoran is relaxed.

” Sir, who is the singer? It sounds good.”

The taxi driver is surprised. “It’s sung by Fairy Xia. I think she is popular all over the country… Luckily, she has a performance in the School of Aeronautics today. You can listen to the live version if you go there.”

The taxi driver seems to feel honored as if he is familiar with the “Fairy Xia”. He warmly introduces the “Fairy” to Lin Luoran and hands her a CD cover.

A young woman is dressed in modified Hanfu clothing, which is painted with ink and wash. Her hair is combed into a beautiful style with a green chrysanthemum. The woman’s eyes are drooping. Her pointed chin and small nose can be seen from the side face.

Lin Luoran is confused. When she views the line of small words on the CD cover, her eyes look deep in the darkness.

——“The immortal Xia Bingyan meets you at the top of Mount Hua.”

Lin Luoran is surprised to see the proud college student become a fairy and star. The propaganda makes her a little angry even if she has a calm temper.

If Xia wants to chase after the tide of cultivation and enter the entertainment circle pretending to be a fairy, Lin has no opinion at all. But this is clearly what once happened in the top of the Mount Hua, but now it is taken as a publicity stunt… Luodong untied the knot in his mind and she met Pei Yuan and Xia Bingyan there. The happy memory now becomes the tool to earn fame and money. How can Lin Luoran be happy?

It is totally different from Pei Yuan publis.h.i.+ng pictures online.

Lin Luoran’ fingers slipped on the CD cover. Does Pei Yuan know it?

Luodong was twelve that year? Six or seven years can really change a lot of things. Lin Luoran doesn’t know why but is disappointed.

The taxi pulls up. They have arrived at the School of Aeronautics. Lin Luoran gives back the CD to the driver and gets off after the payment.

Anyway, she arrives there. Now that the driver says Xia Bingyan has a concert in the school today, she can solve all the old problems together.

Lin Luoran goes to the school gate. Along the way there are a lot of young girls and boys, holding Xia Bingyan’s CD and rus.h.i.+ng toward a certain direction. There are also a lot of middle-aged men driving good cars. Some of them roll down the window to ask for directions. Xia Bingyan has wide fans. It seems she needn’t ask the way.

She walks down with the crowd and comes to the auditorium of the school. This performance, as Xia claims, is to give back to her alma mater. It’s difficult to get a ticket in the auditorium that can accommodate thousands of people. Many fans are blocked out by the security personnel and auxiliary police in the gate. Lin Luoran looks around and finds a suspicious person who seems like a ticket scalper.

“You have tickets?”

The scalper who looks like a college student gingerly pulls her to the corner.

“It’s the real VIP seat in the front row. Look, 500 yuan more, the ticket is yours.”

Lin Luoran looks at the ticket. It is really the seat in the second row. The price of this ticket is 2888 yuan and the student charges 500 yuan more. So her spending more than three thousand yuan is only to see Xia Bingyan more clearly? It sure enough is the price of A-lister. Lin Luoran does not bargain and buys the ticket. The student scalper regrets for notsetting a higher price.

Lin Luoran looks at the student with a smile, “How are you willing to sell this ticket? Other fans are crazy for entering the auditorium.”

The scalper is complacent, “This ticket is a lucky draw. Isn’t it better to get 3000 yuan? Why should I join them?” There is some disdain to Fairy Xia in the scalper’s words. The scalper shakes the money in his hand and disappears into the crowd.

Lin Luoran walks with the crowd to the auditorium. Those fans that are stopped outside jealously look at her VIP ticket.

In the auditorium, 90% of the seats have been occupied. Although her seat is in the second row, it’s still ten meters away from the stage. A lot of people with standing tickets are crowded in the aisle. Someone checks her ticket and takes her to the second row.

The stage is blocked by a black curtain. They don’t know what is it like inside. Lin Luoran sits quietly on the seat, different from the excited fans around.

After more than ten minutes, it seems to be the time. The host’s witty opening remark comes up from the stereo. The crowd quiets down quickly.

“Fairy Xia, Fairy Xia!”

The lights suddenly turn dim. The fans neatly call Fairy Xia and wait for her, waving colorful fluorescent sticks in their hands.

Before the curtain is lifted, the music of Chin and Xiao sound. The crowd quiets down voluntarily.

To put the stereotypes aside, the music is not bad. But relying on such cla.s.sical music without hype, Xia Bingyan should be hard to have such a position in the entertainment industry.
