Chapter 136:
There Are Other Members in OST?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the two months she spent in the Ninth Class, a few people treated her as a friend.
Qin Ran had never been stingy with friends.
Qiao Sheng and the others had already tried their best to watch the exhibition match.
To Qin Ran, these tickets were nothing much.
Besides giving Qiao Sheng this stack of tickets, she even kept one special meet and greet ticket for Lu Zhaoying.
The faces of the three boys who helped to move the table suddenly darkened.
After seeing what was on the table, no one in the Ninth Class made a sound.
These days, they were only talking about the match tickets that were extremely limited. Even hardcore fans could only get one ticket each.
That was why Meng Xinran’s tickets caused such a stir.
It could be seen from how Qiao Sheng would do anything for them and how Meng Xinran resorted to extreme measures because of them.
That was for four tickets.
But in front of them, a stack?
Qiao Sheng was shocked. He carefully kept the tickets that fell on his table. The stack of tickets was even more impressive.
“Oh my god?!” He Wen jumped in shock.
Qiao Sheng was overwhelmed because of the shock. He flipped through the tickets. All of them were tickets for different OST matches at different times. There were even meet and greet tickets. It was a whole stack!
If it was just another ticket, there would not be such a huge reaction.
However, in these few days, the popularity of Meng Xinran’s four tickets had reached its climax and she felt more at ease having them.
However, the stack that Qiao Sheng had in his hands was incomparable.
Everyone instinctively turned to look at Qin Ran.
Feeling their gazes, Qin Ran frowned and casually said, “There are tickets for all three of their matches and meet and greet chances. There are about seven to eight tickets for each event, but I haven’t counted them before.”
Qiao Sheng was muddleheaded as he looked down at the tickets in his hand. “Seven to eight tickets?”
Seven to eight tickets for each event?
“Since you said it too late, there weren’t many tickets left.” Qin Ran put her earphones back slowly and said indifferently, “I don’t know if there’s enough to go around.”
The others looked at Qiao Sheng’s stack of tickets and were completely silenced when they heard Qin Ran say that she did not have many tickets left.
The proud looks on the three students from the First Class vanished.
How could they boast when others were more impressive?
They had a stack!
Even meet and greet tickets!
They went back to the First Class in defeat.
After Meng Xinran and the group of people left, the Ninth Class suddenly burst like a balloon.
“Qiao Sheng, let me admire your tickets!”
“Qiao Sheng, from today onwards, you are my long-lost dad!”
“Look at all you greedy pigs! You would do anything for a few tickets. Brother, do you still remember your long-lost childhood friend?”
Everyone was speechless.
Qiao Sheng immediately raised his hand. “How about this? Besides four of us, there will be around three tickets left for each event, so can everyone just take one ticket each?”
“Dad!”
“One ticket is enough. One ticket is enough!”
There were many OST fans in class that wanted the tickets. In total, there were about sixty tickets. Since there were not enough, Qiao Sheng initiated a finger-guessing game.
The class became extremely lively, but no one dared to get close to Qin Ran.
Wearing headphones, she looked impatient as she lowered her head and continued to write her words slowly.
Those who managed to get a ticket cheered, but Qiao Sheng told them to quieten down. After that, he pointed to Qin Ran.
The noise disappeared instantly and everyone promised to keep their volume down. Once the ticket frenzy was over, everyone looked subconsciously at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran’s expression turned cold.
Everyone immediately turned away.
“Did you see the expressions of those three people from the First Class just now?” He Wen, who was sitting beside Qiao Sheng, said. “These people are the most haughty boys in the First Class. This is the first time I’ve seen their expressions change so quickly.”
After that, he fell silent again.
In the end, it was He Wen who first broke the silence. He glanced at Qin Ran’s direction. “Where do you think Sister Ran got these tickets from? Meng Xinran only had four tickets.”
That was because Meng Xinran was a substitute for OST and had played in a match once.
No one said anything.
Xu Yaoguang raised his eyes. He looked at Qin Ran meaningfully and slightly narrowed his attractive eyes. “She definitely didn’t get them herself. Someone must have given them to her.”
Qiao Sheng knew that Xu Yaoguang immediately thought of the people in the school doctor’s office.
He could not help but look down to take a look.
The tickets were consecutive numbers for the second row of Zone A.
Qiao Sheng had seen the tickets Lu Zhaoying gave to Qin Ran. They were for Row 5.
For some reason, he felt that those tickets were not given to Qin Ran by the people in the school doctor’s office.
Could it be that… Qin Ran got these tickets from somewhere else?

That evening, the Ninth Class was not very focused on studying.
Besides, Qin Ran, the calmest person in the class was Lin Siran who was already over the excitement caused by Yan Xi.
She calmly took out some problems to solve.
When the evening study session was over, she looked up at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran was still wearing her headphones, holding a fountain pen, and slowly practicing her writing.
The fountain pen was pure black. It looked very attractive and the cap was inlaid with crystals that resembled diamonds.
It exuded a mysterious charm.
Xia Fei came over and also felt that it was quite pretty. “Sister Ran, where did you buy this pen? I also want one.”
She did not have many hobbies, but she liked collecting attractive pens, notebooks, and erasers. She could not bear to throw away even the refills if they looked aesthetically pleasing.
Everyone went back to their rooms.
Qin Ran took off her headphones. When she heard Xia Fei’s words, she looked at her pen and turned it around but could not find a label. “I don’t know as well. Someone gave it to me. You can take a picture and look for it online.”
She passed the pen to Xia Fei.
After that, she kept the copybook and placed it under her desk.
Lin Siran glanced and realized that the copybook did not have a cover.
Xia Fei looked at the pen and also could not find a logo. When she held the pen in her hand, it felt even better. It was small and delicate. Immediately, she took out her phone to capture a high-definition photo.
Qiao Sheng was waiting for Qiao Sheng outside. When she saw the three girls chatting, he walked over carrying a box.
He risked it all by taking the box that Xu Yaoguang used to hold his medals to keep his tickets.
“Sister Ran, why haven’t you left yet?” He walked over and suddenly said.
“We’re about to leave.” Xia Fei kept her phone after she took the photo.
She returned the fountain pen to Qin Ran.
Qin Ran threw the fountain pen back into her pencil case and said, “It does look pretty, but scratches appear easily.”
Especially when it collided with things like pencil compasses.
“I will buy a special pencil case to store it, then.” Xia Fei nodded.
The teaching building was buzzing with noise after the study session was over, but soon, most of the people left and silence fell.
Qiao Sheng carried the box as he followed Qin Ran down the stairs.

Xu Yaoguang was currently sending the physics papers to the staff room.
He placed the papers on the physics teacher’s desk, thought about it, and for some reason, he flipped open the third paper.
That paper was Qin Ran’s.
Qin Ran scored full marks for the other subjects and did very well during the exam. Xu Yaoguang was shocked but did not care much.
The only thing he was interested in was her physics.
He scanned it from the beginning to the end.
There was not a single word written on the paper.
The physics teacher asked Qin Ran why she did not write anything, but Qin Ran’s answer was that she did not know how to do anything.
She could do even the hardest math problems, so it made no sense why she could not do a single physics question.
However, if she did know how to do the questions, she would not give up the entire physics paper like that.
The biggest possibility was that it was not as outstanding as her other subjects.
As Xu Yaoguang pondered, he stuffed Qin Ran’s paper back in the pile, locked the staff room door, and left.
Coincidentally, he bumped into Qiao Sheng and the group of people who had just come downstairs.
He waited until Qin Ran and the girls returned to the girls’ dormitory.
Qiao Sheng touched his chin and said, “I asked Sister Ran just now and she said that someone gave her those tickets.”
Xu Yaoguang acknowledged him casually and was not surprised at all. “Must be two people who gave her the tickets, then.”
He looked in the direction of the school doctor’s office.
He knew about OST, but not about Yunguang Consortium. However, he heard some hearsay about them before.
Although he was not a fan of Yang Fei, he had watched OST matches before, and before this match, he initially wanted to get a ticket but failed to do so.
As a result, Xu Yaoguang did not believe that she could get so many tickets by herself.
“Young Master Xu, are you going to the match tomorrow?” Qiao Sheng turned to ask him while holding the box.
Xu Yaoguang thought for a while before saying, “Yes.”
Qiao Sheng changed his stance. “I don’t see you liking Sun God much or the other people in OST. Why are you so determined to go to the match?”
Besides physics and the violin, Qiao Sheng had not seen him like other things.
“Who said I didn’t like the members in OST?” Xu Yaoguang narrowed his eyes and looked deeply at Qiao Sheng.
When they reached Xu Yaoguang’s dormitory, Qiao Sheng stopped outside. He did not enter and was adamant about clarifying the truth. “Since you don’t even like Sun God, how can other OST members catch your eye?”
