Chapter 603 : The Regret of the Lucky Draw King
“We’re here~”
After solving the dinner issue, Ling Ning and Su Ya arrived at the meeting spot where they had arranged to meet Li Qian and Li Meng.
When Ling Ning arrived, Li Qian and Li Meng were initially excited to see her. However, their enthusiasm quickly faded when they noticed Su Ya walking alongside her.
They soon realized that the person with Ling Ning was their roommate, Su Ya.
“Sorry to keep you waiting!” Ling Ning apologized with a smile.
The delay was due to the crowded cafeteria lines. In hindsight, grabbing some bread for Su Ya instead of queuing might have been a better idea.
“It’s fine. So, the ‘something’ you mentioned earlier was going to find Su Ya?” Li Qian asked curiously.
“Yeah, we had already planned it earlier. It looks like it’ll just be the four of us tonight~”
Ling Ning had also invited Ye Xuan, but she declined, saying she wasn’t interested in concerts and disliked crowded places.
Still, the campus was unusually packed today, with what felt like the entire school heading to the concert.
Shaking her head lightly, Ling Ning said, “Let’s head over before the crowd grows even more.”
The group walked to the stadium plaza, where they were greeted by long lines of people. Ling Ning couldn’t help but wonder if the school’s stadium could even accommodate such a large crowd.
As they prepared to queue, a beautiful young woman approached Ling Ning and asked, “Are you Miss Ling Ning?”
Recognizing her as one of Bai Yiyue’s assistants, likely named Wang Jiaqi, Ling Ning nodded slightly.
“Since you’re Miss Ling Ning, please follow me. You can use the staff entrance—it’ll be quicker,” Wang Jiaqi said with a polite smile before leading the way.
Calling out to the others, Ling Ning followed her. Curious, she asked, “Did Xiao Bai… I mean, Bai Yiyue, send you to meet me?”
“No, I happened to step out for something and ran into you,” Wang Jiaqi explained.
“Oh, I see. Thank you very much.”
“It’s nothing.”
Thanks to Wang Jiaqi, the group quickly reached their seats. The spots, carefully selected by Bai Yiyue, offered a fantastic view of the stage.
Having attended one of Bai Yiyue’s concerts before, Ling Ning wasn’t particularly curious about the setup. Yawning softly, she leaned against Su Ya’s shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.
Seeing this, Li Qian pursed her lips in frustration. She was sitting right next to Ling Ning—why hadn’t she chosen her shoulder instead?
What’s more, Ling Ning and Su Ya seemed to have a close relationship. Whether it was going out together or their frequent late-night phone calls, Li Qian couldn’t shake the growing sense of unease.
Sighing softly, Li Qian suddenly found the concert far less appealing.

Some time later, Ling Ning was roused from her light slumber by a gentle shake. Opening her eyes, she was greeted by Su Ya’s beautiful face, momentarily stirring an urge to kiss her.
However, she quickly remembered their public setting and the presence of Li Qian and Li Meng nearby. Acting on such an impulse would undoubtedly lead to unpredictable consequences.
“The concert’s about to start!” Su Ya exclaimed excitedly.
This was her first time attending one of Bai Yiyue’s concerts, so her enthusiasm was palpable.
“Oh~”
Sitting up and stretching, Ling Ning noticed that the stadium was now packed to capacity, with even some people standing in the back rows. The sheer popularity of Bai Yiyue’s concerts was undeniable.
As Ling Ning surveyed the crowd, the stage lights dimmed. Moments later, a spotlight illuminated the stage, revealing Bai Yiyue in an elegant outfit.
She stood at the center of the stage as upbeat music began to play.
The performance started.
Watching Bai Yiyue perform, Ling Ning’s lips curved into a faint smile. The Bai Yiyue on stage was worlds apart from the obsessive yuri maniac she knew in private.
On stage, she was like a regal queen, commanding the adoration of her fans.
Still, Ling Ning couldn’t help but wonder: What would the audience think if they knew Bai Yiyue was a yuri maniac?
She imagined the chaos that revelation would bring but dismissed the thought—it wasn’t something she would ever reveal.

As the first song concluded, Bai Yiyue smiled warmly and addressed the audience.
“Thank you all for coming to my concert. Some of you may be wondering why I chose S University as the venue for this performance.”
“I know you’re curious, but I’ll keep it a mystery for now. The answer lies in my next song, so listen closely!”
With that, the music resumed.
As the audience erupted in cheers, Ling Ning felt a sense of foreboding. Surely, Bai Yiyue wouldn’t reveal her name on stage, would she? She tried to reassure herself that it wouldn’t happen… probably.
During a break, Ling Ning turned to Su Ya and said, “Xiao Ya, you seem a bit too excited~”
“Well, it’s my first time at one of Bai Yiyue’s concerts! I’ve always missed out because tickets were sold out or the venue was too far away. Isn’t it natural to be excited?” Su Ya replied.
“Is that so?”
Suddenly, Su Ya perked up. “I remember Bai Yiyue’s concerts often include a segment where a random audience member is invited to sing on stage. Do you think I have a chance?”
“The school’s stadium isn’t that big, but with so many people here, your odds are slim. If you do get picked, you should probably buy a lottery ticket.”
Ling Ning couldn’t help but smile ruefully at the thought. Maybe she should try buying a lottery ticket herself.
