Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling calmly got out of the car.

Then, together they walked to a nearby apartment.

It appeared as though the human sandbag that Zhai Yunsheng found for Jian Yiling lived there.

After Yu Xi’s heart rate went back to normal, he sighed and resigned himself to fate. He followed the two of them.

He told himself: After this, the two of them better carry me to Challenger! He needed consolation for what he had just experienced.

As Jian Yiling and the others were walking towards the apartment, the entrance of a nearby hotel was crowded with a large group of people.

Everyone was holding mobile phones and cameras in their hands. Flashlights flickered vigorously.

The enthusiasm and passion of these people could be felt from a distance.

A group of well-dressed and attractive men came out of the hotel. They appeared to be celebrities. The group of them were protected by a bunch of security guards.

Jian Yiling looked over in the direction of the crowd. She stopped walking after she saw a figure.

When Yu Xi saw Jian Yiling, he also paused. He was curious about why Jian Yiling had stopped walking. He followed her gaze.

After Yu Xi took a look at the situation, he said, “Oh, it’s a boy band having a fan meeting. What’s the name of their group again? Off the top of my head, I can’t remember it.”

Yu Xi wasn’t a big fan of boy groups. As a result, he didn’t remember the name of the boy band. It never really crossed his mind.

Jian Yiling stared at one of the members of the boy band.

Although there was quite a bit of distance between them, Jian Yiling could still recognize one of the members. Despite the fact that his face was slightly unclear, she could still confirm that it was Jian Yumin. He was Jian Yujie’s eldest brother. The son of Jian Shuhong and He Yan.

As He Yan was an actress before she had gotten married, Jian Yumin had inherited her talent in acting. He had a great voice for singing.

He wanted to develop his career in performing arts, but He Yan strongly opposed to this.

He Yan wanted her eldest son to take over the company. She wanted him to compete against Jian Yuncheng.

However, Jian Yumin insisted that he wanted to follow his dreams. He had ambitions elsewhere.

He Yan had stated that she would not support him in any way or fashion if he did enter the entertainment industry.

As a result, he signed a contract with a company. He relied on himself to get to where he was today. He didn’t need any help from the Jian family nor He Yan.

Two years ago, he had participated in a talent show. After he became popular, he finally debuted as a member of a boy band.

The boy band had become very popular in the past two years. They also recently had a concert tour.

When Yu Xi noticed that Jian Yiling was staring at the boy band, he couldn’t help but tease her.

“Wow, I would have not thought that God Ling was a fan of boy bands. Are you also interested in those male idols? I can see love hearts and pink sparkles appear in your eyes. Do you want to join them at the fan meet and greet? Or do you want to go and attend one of their concerts? Come on, don’t be shy. Talk to me. I’ll help you.”

Yu Xi had no trouble with getting tickets in Hengyuan City.

When they were kids, Yu Xi had also met Jian Yumin before. However, when they grew up, they had gone separate ways. As a result, they didn’t have the opportunity to see each other often.

Furthermore, Jian Yumin had also used a stage name instead of his real name after entering the entertainment industry. He had concealed his identity and background. In recent years, he didn’t return home often.

As a result, this prevented Yu Xi from recognizing him. He was unable to notice that one of the members was Jian Yumin.

“No thank you.” Jian Yiling replied. She withdrew her gaze and answered Yu Xi’s question.

“There’s no need to be polite with me! Just think of it as a reward for carrying me in games!” Yu Xi replied. He assumed that Jian Yiling was embarrassed and felt bad for inconveniencing him.

“There’s no need.”

After she replied, Jian Yiling followed Zhai Yunsheng’s steps and entered the apartment.
