Chapter 052 【Star Power】

Suddenly, an absurd thought popped into Lin Jiaying's mind. She hesitated, stealing a few glances at Gu Feng, then mustered her courage, gritted her teeth, and whispered, "Gu Feng... I'm a bit cold."

Gu Feng had been reminiscing, but upon hearing Lin Jiaying's words, he immediately took off his jacket without a second thought, walked over to her, and draped it over her shoulders.

Lin Jiaying had originally wanted Gu Feng to hug her. Seeing him do all this instead, she scowled. The romantic feelings that had just begun to stir in her heart vanished into thin air.

"Feeling better?" Gu Feng placed his hand on Lin Jiaying's forehead and asked with concern.

His gentle tone made Lin Jiaying feel a little better, though the earlier impulse was gone. She nodded and said, "Much better." But in her heart, she thought, "What a blockhead!"

Seeing Lin Jiaying's angry expression, Gu Feng had no idea what had happened. He didn't realize that he had just missed his first chance for intimate contact with Lin Jiaying...

After arriving at school in the afternoon, Gu Feng noticed that both teachers and students were discussing Zhou Tong's concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum on Saturday. This gave Gu Feng a deeper understanding of Zhou Tong's fame, and he realized that what she had told him was indeed true.

At just 24 years old, Zhou Tong stood at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry. Not only was the Zifeng Middle School campus abuzz, but Hong Kong citizens everywhere were talking about her concert. Major shopping malls had put up posters, and large entertainment media outlets were heavily promoting it, building momentum for Zhou Tong's performance.

...

In the classroom of Class 1, Grade 4, Lin Jiaying held her textbook, carefully looking it over. Since she hadn't come to school in the morning and had missed a class, she had been studying on her own since arriving early at noon.

Class 1, Grade 4 was the top academic class in the grade. Compared to students from other classes, fewer people in this class were discussing Zhou Tong's concert.

But that didn't mean there were none.

As a devoted fan of Zhou Tong, Lin Jiaying dreamed of attending her concert and seeing her idol up close. However, to get close to Zhou Tong, she would need tickets near the stage. Those tickets were not only expensive but usually only available through special channels, making them nearly impossible for ordinary people to obtain.

Although Lin Jiaying's mother was the principal of Zifeng Middle School, she wasn't exactly a socialite. As for her father, he was even less influential than Xu Qin, so naturally, he couldn't get front-row tickets.

"If only I could see the goddess live!"

"Yeah! If I could attend the goddess's concert, I'd definitely lose sleep over it."

"If I could sing a song with the goddess, I'd die without regrets."

...

The boys in the class held posters of Zhou Tong's concert, their faces filled with longing.

"Give it up, stop dreaming. Attending the concert? Can you even buy tickets?" a female fan of Zhou Tong ruthlessly shot down the daydreaming students. In her opinion, the boys' behavior was a form of blasphemy against Zhou Tong!

Listening to her classmates' discussions, Lin Jiaying became distracted. She put down her book in frustration, propped her chin in her hands, her mind filled with images of Zhou Tong.

Clearly, her classmates' chatter made her want to attend Zhou Tong's concert even more.

At that moment, Wang Jingjing appeared at the classroom door, dressed in an unusually provocative way. She carried the latest LV handbag, wore lipstick, a platinum necklace around her neck, and dressed very seductively. As soon as she appeared, many students turned their eyes toward her. Her outfit stood in stark contrast to the rest of the class.

Seeing the boys' lustful gazes and the girls' envious looks, Wang Jingjing curled the corners of her mouth into a smug smile.

Then, as she walked to her seat, she overheard the students' discussions.

Wang Jingjing glanced at Lin Jiaying in the distance, her eyes shifting, and called out, "Jiaying, did you get tickets to the concert?"

Wang Jingjing had known for a long time that Lin Jiaying idolized Zhou Tong. After the incident at the KTV last time, Wang Jingjing not only felt no gratitude toward Lin Jiaying but actually resented her. Because ever since that day, Zhou Mingwei, who had always doted on her, seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.

Zhou Mingwei's disappearance left her without money to splurge for several days. It wasn't until yesterday that she managed to hook up with a wealthy young man using her charms. The ticket in her hand was exactly what that young man had obtained for her through special channels to win her favor.

Lin Jiaying could also sense that since the KTV incident, her relationship with Wang Jingjing had grown increasingly distant. Hearing Wang Jingjing's sudden question, she was somewhat surprised. She turned to look at Wang Jingjing and said, "No."

"Buying tickets now not only means standing in line but also only getting the farthest back seats where you can't see anything!" some students in the class complained.

"Oh." Wang Jingjing smiled smugly, opened her exquisite LV bag, and pulled out a front-row concert ticket. "Jiaying, I thought you had gotten front-row tickets and wanted to go to the concert with you. What a shame, I only have one ticket, otherwise I could have gone with you."

Including Lin Jiaying, the students in the class all looked at Wang Jingjing with envy. Lin Jiaying struggled to tear her gaze away from the ticket in Wang Jingjing's hand and forced a smile, saying, "Since I don't have a ticket, I won't go. You go ahead."

Seeing Lin Jiaying's frustrated expression, Wang Jingjing was overjoyed inside. She smiled triumphantly and said, "Okay. I'll record it on my phone when I go and show it to you later."

"No need, I'll just watch the TV broadcast." Wang Jingjing's words made Lin Jiaying feel uncomfortable.

Because of Wang Jingjing's appearance, the students in the class stopped discussing the concert. After all, Wang Jingjing had a front-row ticket, while they didn't even have back-row tickets. Continuing the discussion would only be embarrassing, wouldn't it?

...

Meanwhile, in Gu Feng's office.

The gossip queen Wu Xue held a promotional poster for Zhou Tong's concert, her face filled with fantasy. "If anyone could give me a front-row ticket to Zhou Tong's concert, I'd be willing to be his girlfriend for a week!"

"Give it up. With your face full of 'musical staff lines,' who would want you as a girlfriend?" Qi Hui and Wu Xue were arch-rivals, always taking shots at each other. Naturally, Qi Hui wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

"You dead fatty, can't you ever say anything nice?" Wu Xue threw the poster at Qi Hui, looking angry.

Qi Hui chuckled, caught the poster, glanced at it, and put on a dreamy expression. "Compared to Zhou Tong, I still prefer our Lanlan. She's so dedicated!"

Wu Xue knew full well that the "Lanlan" Qi Hui mentioned was a famous Japanese AV actress. She rolled her eyes at him. "Disgusting!"

Gu Feng had been reviewing his students' files but was startled by their conversation, suddenly remembering that Zhou Tong had given him two VIP tickets to her concert last night.

"Lin Jiaying's idols are Jay Chou and Zhou Tong..."

The next moment, Gu Feng recalled Chen Xu's words.

P: Crazy is very frustrated. From noon until just now, I couldn't log into the author's zone. After trying countless methods, I finally managed to fix it. Quickly sending the update and asking for some votes!
