Chapter 96 - An Explanation (1/2)

“This was the funniest, most interesting, and most amazing concert I’ve ever been to.”

The concert had ended successfully, although two more waves of laughter had occurred in between. They didn’t negatively impact the concert, but just took it off tangent for a moment. Overall, the fans present were ecstatic and made a great concert experience.

“Thank you for enduring such an interesting evening with me.”

Wu Tong walked out the stadium and smiled at Meng Fan. “No, technically speaking, you were the one who brought the interest.”

Meng Fan smiled bitterly. “I’m innocent, am I that funny?”

Wu Tong paused for a second. “Yes.”

What else could he say, she was always right.

“Oh right, when are you heading back to school? Want to return together?” Wu Tong and Meng Fan walked along the sidewalk. Then once in a while, running into a member of the audience who would greet Meng Fan. He had become a famous figure after this concert.

Wu Tong’s invitation was very tempting, but thinking about it, Meng Fan shook his head. “I have to head back to Wenzhou, it’s been a while since I went back home.”

It has been a while. If he hadn’t been reincarnated, he would never have seen them again!

“Alright, see you at school then.” Wu Tong pointed to a car parked nearby with its blinkers on. “My brother’s here to pick me up.”

“Okay.”

Meng Fan nodded and waved.

After Wu Tong got in the car and drove off, Meng Fan hailed a cab and headed home.

…

…

“Explain yourself!”

Meng Cai Wei opened the door and clacked her way back to the living room. She royally sat herself down on the couch, then bellowed at Meng Fan.

“Explain what?”

The corner of Meng Fan’s mouth twitched. He pointed to her high heels and said, “Why are you wearing those in the house, are you trying to increase the momentum of your interrogation?”

“Don’t change the subject with me.” Meng Cai Wei huffed a deep breath before beginning again, holding up two fingers. “Two things. First, who’s that girl?!”

“Did Sister Bai send it to you?” Meng Fan had an all-knowing expression. “Then shouldn’t she have also told you Wu Tong is my college classmate?”

“That’s all?” Meng Cai Wei slanted her eyes at Meng Fan. Seeing he did not continue, she chuckled. “You suddenly began running. It must have been for this traditional art department’s beauty, right?”

Meng Fan picked up a cranberry cookie, and upon discovering it tasted good, ate a second one before he continued, “Didn’t Qin Jiao already tell you, why are you asking me?”

“Then you don’t like boys?” Meng Cai Wei was a bit disappointed.

Cough cough.

Meng Fan almost choked.

“Alright alright alright. Girl is good too.” Meng Cai Wei sighed. “Whatever, as long as you like her.”

Meng Fan was really done. “What do you mean whatever, or alright?! And what’s with that expression of surrender?!”

“Let’s not talk about this.”

Meng Cai Wei had avoided this subject and her expression seemed unwilling to discuss the subject in fear of being hurt. “Second, what’s with all the laughing during the concert?”

When she had pulled a muscle from laughing, Meng Cai Wei did not overthink, and she had just assumed it was due to her being a homebody for too long.

For a concert to erupt into laughter like that, the people present would not overthink it either, because it could just have been an infectious atmosphere.

But once Meng Cai Wei discovered the two, then she could not help but overthink.

Meng Fan heard this and felt his blood boil. “I want to know the answer to that too! Why does it sound like it’s my fault, I just laughed for a bit, can I not laugh during a concert? It’s not worse than standing there high, okay?! I just laughed like this, why did everyone else start too, making it seem as if I am a joke! Look at me, am I laughable?”

Seeing Meng Fan break into laughter, Meng Cai Wei felt oddly happy, but not as exaggerated as she had felt yesterday. No no no, her mouth had curved along with him, but she was not crazy yet.

Could it be… She really had been home too often?

And the audience was just following the hype?

And it had nothing to do with Meng Fan?

When Meng Cai Wei did not break into laughter. Meng Fan let out an internal sigh of relief. Good good. Smile appeal can be suppressed if he really enforced it. Otherwise, it would be hard to even laugh in the future.
