In the past few days, everything that could be bought in reality had been fully stocked. On the day when all the purchased supplies were gathered, there happened to be an important event to attend!
Today was King Zhou’s concert.
Bai Yaoyao went out early, having pre-booked a VIP ticket, and entered the venue as soon as it opened.
At the entrance, she bought a pink cheering stick, glowing hair clips, Jay stickers for her face, and a wristband. Finally, noticing a pink hoodie printed with King Zhou’s photo for sale, she bought one and put it on directly, looking just like an obsessed fangirl.
Bai Yaoyao arrived at seat number 521 and waited for a while. Soon, a young man came over. Seeing Bai Yaoyao sitting there, he was taken aback. He checked his ticket again and confirmed it was correct.
So he stepped forward and said, “Excuse me, did you read the number wrong? This is my seat.”
Bai Yaoyao blinked her big eyes and said softly, “Little brother, could we swap seats? I really want to sit here! 521 is my birthday, and it’s also the anniversary of my breakup with my boyfriend…”
At this point, Bai Yaoyao lowered her head, her voice clearly choking up. When she looked up again, her eyes were red.
Hearing Bai Yaoyao call him “little brother,” the young man was completely flustered, almost stunned. Forget swapping seats—even if she asked him to give her the ticket and roll out, he would do it! Who even cared about the concert anymore?
“Alright, alright, don’t cry. I’ll swap with you. Don’t be sad,” the young man said hurriedly.
“Okay, thank you! My seat is in the VIP section, number 12,” Bai Yaoyao said.
The young man was stunned. The VIP section? This was King Zhou’s concert—VIP seats had been resold for over a hundred thousand each! He wasn’t short on money, but they were practically impossible to buy. No one was selling, and it was impossible to snag one.
So he said, “Your seat is much better! Let me pay you the difference.”
“No, I don’t want money. I’m already very grateful that you’re swapping seats with me! Thank you, I appreciate it!” Bai Yaoyao said.
“Well, alright then. I’ll head over now? Thank you so much!” the young man said, somewhat embarrassed.
“Mm, goodbye, little brother!”
…
After sitting down, Bai Yaoyao closed her eyes.
Soon, a girl named Liu Mengyuan would come and sit next to her.
She was very pretty. In the apocalypse, by a twist of fate, she had gotten to know Bai Yaoyao and the others.
Because she happened to save Monkey, they traveled together for a while, and gradually, the two of them “developed feelings over time.”
When Bai Yaoyao found out, she congratulated and teased them. At the time, no one had realized how good an actress Liu Mengyuan was.
Later, during a mission, Liu Mengyuan betrayed their information to the Tianhu Squad, who had always been at odds with them.
As a result, they were ambushed. Shitou lost an arm, Peiqi died, and the other brothers were severely injured.
When they learned the truth later, Monkey was heartbroken for a long time. Though Monkey always talked about chasing girls, deep down, he was a very devoted person. This had been his first love.
Monkey personally killed Liu Mengyuan, but it was already too late. Shitou’s arm would never grow back, and Peiqi would never return.
During a casual chat, Bai Yaoyao remembered Liu Mengyuan mentioning that she had come alone to this concert. Her seat number was 521, and she had hoped seat 520 would be occupied by a handsome guy! Instead, it turned out to be an engineering student with a face full of acne.
At the time, everyone had joked that if it really had been a handsome guy, Monkey, you two might have missed your chance…
Just as Bai Yaoyao was reminiscing, she sensed someone approaching her seat. She opened her eyes and saw that it was indeed Liu Mengyuan.
“Hello there, miss, are you sitting next to me?” Bai Yaoyao asked in a sweet voice.
“Ah… yes, hello!” Liu Mengyuan replied, her tone tinged with disappointment.
Bai Yaoyao smiled sweetly.
Liu Mengyuan lowered her head and pursed her lips, sighing inwardly. Why couldn’t she ever meet a rich, handsome guy?
Bai Yaoyao paid close attention to the concert, as she genuinely liked King Zhou’s songs. It had been a long, long time since she had experienced this kind of feeling.
She even sang along loudly at times.
“On this windy day, I tried to hold your hand, but the wind grew stronger, until I could no longer see you…”
“Sparrows outside the window, chirping on the power lines…”
“Sky blue waits for misty rain, while I wait for you…”
“The most beautiful thing isn’t the rainy day, but the eaves where we once took shelter from the rain together…”
When the concert ended, Bai Yaoyao happily stretched her arms and patted Liu Mengyuan.
Because it was so noisy, Liu Mengyuan leaned in to hear what Bai Yaoyao was saying.
Bai Yaoyao said, “Goodbye, Liu Mengyuan.” With those words, she stabbed Liu Mengyuan in a vital spot and twisted the knife. Liu Mengyuan died without ever understanding why she had been killed.
This was what that bitch deserved.
She didn’t want to wait until they met again later; she just wanted to eliminate any threats to herself and her brothers as soon as possible.
Villains should die early!
If only she had known the specific members of the Tianhu Squad, she would have gone and wiped them all out.
Never mind that the apocalypse hadn’t started yet, that social order hadn’t collapsed—she was Bai Yaoyao, after all. Killing was her trade. She stored the knife in her space, supported Liu Mengyuan, and leaned her against the seat.
Taking advantage of the chaos, she slipped away.
By the time someone discovered the body and the police arrived, Bai Yaoyao had already driven off.
Humming the songs she had heard at the concert, Bai Yaoyao drove back to the hotel in high spirits.
The ticket purchase information was fake, she had avoided surveillance cameras, and the car had fake license plates.
Let them investigate—they would find nothing.
The boy who had swapped seats with Bai Yaoyao was called to the police station, but he stubbornly insisted that it absolutely had nothing to do with Bai Yaoyao!
When the police asked about Bai Yaoyao’s appearance, the boy only said, “Pretty, big eyes, really beautiful, nice voice, face covered in stickers, wearing a King Zhou hoodie.” He couldn’t provide any other details.
The police were somewhat frustrated. At the concert, more people were wearing King Zhou hoodies than not, and almost all the female fans had stickers on their faces. How the hell were they supposed to investigate this?
As for the “big eyes, pretty, nice voice” part, the police looked at the boy’s dazed expression and his tendency to break into silly grins, deeply suspecting whether his judgment was even reliable.
…
Peiqi had already bought a house in H City and sent the location to Bai Yaoyao. It was currently being renovated.
Bai Yaoyao had Peiqi rent a large warehouse in H City and resumed her online shopping spree.
