Chapter 438: Chapter 411 The Cat at the Concert_2 Chapter 438: Chapter 411 The Cat at the Concert_2 Shaking his head, Zheng Tan continued walking. Even if he wanted to attend the concert, he didn’t need to get a ticket, as he was not worried about ticket availability at all. After all, he wouldn’t squeeze into the venue; he would simply stay in a tree beside the stadium.

As he walked, Zheng Tan exited through the campus side gate and headed towards Hengwu Square. He decided to take an afternoon nap at “Triumph,” and perhaps scavenge some snacks to pass the time.

Ever since Hengwu Square was established, the number of people and cars in the area had steadily increased. Walking there, Zheng Tan could hear the sound of people impatiently honking their horns.

Some people say that those who are hasty for immediate profits tend to express their dissatisfaction by honking their horns a few times when they encounter difficulties. City traffic always tests people’s patience and civic virtue, and the sound of horns has become a reference for the character of a city. No matter the city, there will always be impatient people who honk loudly when faced with any situation.

For Zheng Tan, who had exceptional hearing, this horn noise was simply torturous. So, when he heard the rapid, irritable horn sounds, he quickly covered his ears and hurried past, only slowing down once the honking had stopped or he was far enough away from the source of the sound.

Unlike Night Building, the main clientele of “Triumph” was the younger crowd, predominantly university students, and New Boy’s audience was also largely made up of university students. “Triumph” had been running promotions lately, giving away tickets to campus concerts along with some trinkets, such as New Boy’s team emblems, pendants, etc., with certain purchases.

When Zheng Tan arrived, he saw people hurriedly entering, while talking to someone beside them, hoping there were still tickets available.

Every time Zheng Tan came, someone would certainly report to the staff above, after all, Zheng Tan was too special a VIP customer.

Zheng Tan didn’t pay attention to others. Since it was a spontaneous decision and he hadn’t brought his card, he had someone swipe a card to open the room. The person in charge here was already familiar with Zheng Tan and had no reason to doubt a cat’s authenticity. For this reason, Zheng Tan had arrived several times without a card, as carrying a card alone was too troublesome, sometimes leading him here unintentionally.

After eating some nuts in his private room, Zheng Tan jumped onto the sofa, intending to take a nap, but to his surprise, someone came in just as he was closing his eyes.

The visitor was not a waiter but one of Ye Hao’s top men who happened to be here today – Baozi, followed by a person wearing a baseball cap.

As they entered, the person lowered their head and only after closing the door did they raise it.

Zheng Tan recognized him – it was Jin, the person whom many were recently talking about.

Isn’t the concert starting in a few days?

“Heitan, long time no see!” Jin took off his hat. He was too easily recognized at “Triumph,” and he had not been this cautious yesterday at Night Building. Sure enough, there were more young people here.

Jin’s band had arrived in Chuhua City the day before yesterday, and visiting these places where they used to perform was a must. They had visited Night Building, and today, it was “Triumph”. Due to the crowd in the evening, it was easier for him to be recognized here, so Jin had disguised himself and come during the day. Just as he was talking to Baozi, someone reported to Baozi that the Black Cat had come for a nap, prompting Jin to quickly come and see the cat who had appeared at a turning point in his life.

Jin often wondered, if he hadn’t met this black cat outside Night Building years ago, what would have become of him and his bandmates? Now that the band was popular and well-known, many people had asked why their band’s emblem was a black cat, but he had never revealed Zheng Tan’s identity. It was Ye Hao’s suggestion, and Jin had always kept this secret.

Jin only stayed with Zheng Tan for a few minutes before receiving a call to attend to the preparatory tasks needing his attention before the concert.

After saying goodbye to Baozi and Zheng Tan, Jin left, wearing the baseball cap again.

Before leaving, Jin left behind four tickets for Zheng Tan. He remembered that there were four members in Zheng Tan’s household, and even if they didn’t go, they could give the tickets to friends.

Since Zheng Tan was not wearing his vest today and couldn’t carry the tickets back, he didn’t want to hold them in his mouth. Instead, Baozi arranged for someone to deliver them directly to Mr. Jiao at Chuhua University.

As Little Youzi was attending a classmate’s birthday party today and would only return tomorrow, and since Jiao Yuan was not there, Mr. Jiao and Jiao Ma, who were also not very interested in such events, decided to watch from a distance rather than getting into the fray with the younger crowd. Thus, the tickets eventually went to a graduate student under Mr. Jiao’s supervision.

The graduate students almost knelt in gratitude. They had not expected their boss to be able to arrange something like this. The tickets were obviously not the kind distributed by the school; they were comparable to VIP seats!

Many students envied the treatment the students under Professor Jiao received and couldn’t help being bitter.

When asked about the source of the tickets, Mr. Jiao just smiled and said nothing. What could he say, that it was all thanks to his cat’s reputation? No one would believe that!

On the night of the 24th, Chuhua University’s main sports stadium and its surroundings were cordoned off well in advance, with other vehicles rerouted.

As night fell, the atmosphere around the main stadium was exceptionally fiery. Normally, many people would go out on Christmas Eve, and the campus would be quiet, but not today. Chuhua University’s main stadium seemed to have drawn all the popularity from the surrounding areas, causing the streets by the campus gate and even Hengwu Square to become significantly less crowded.

Many people who hadn’t bought tickets lingered around the edges, hoping to at least catch some of the sounds even if they couldn’t enter.

There were no tall buildings around the main sports stadium, and even if there were, entry was barred to prevent students from getting into accidents on rooftops.

During such times, the conveniences available to the student union’s relevant departments became apparent, as they didn’t need tickets and could enter just by showing proof; it’s good to have connections.

Zheng Tan stood on a tree at the edge of the sports ground, overseeing the area dominated by students.

Those at the back could hardly see the faces of people on stage, so many students were holding binoculars.

Before it began, Jin went up on stage to tune the instruments. The singing hadn’t even started yet, but the fans below were already screaming. Even the usually reserved girls shouted themselves hoarse and jumped around, startling Zheng Tan so much that his whiskers twitched.

With the opening of a fast-paced song familiar to the students, the atmosphere exploded once again. Despite the low temperatures of a winter night, the fervor made it feel degrees warmer.

Students equipped themselves with digital cameras, binoculars, glow sticks, and other gear, with the glow sticks waving non-stop.

Once the concert started, under the night sky, fans waved their glow sticks and placards professionally, following the rhythm, swaying in unison with a variety of shining lights without appearing chaotic.

Some say if you like an idol, you must attend their concert because you can’t feel the radiating heat that makes your blood boil through a screen.

The life on stage was dazzling, and to the fans below, at that moment, the person on stage was their irreplaceable everything.

Jin and the others interacted with the students below too. Several members of the Guitar Association, including the current president, were fortunate enough to play on stage. During a mid-concert break, they shared some stories about Jin and the Guitar Association of our university, with Jin’s permission.

The students from those years had graduated long ago, and many now didn’t know that the famous “Cat’s Fantasy” had actually been composed next to the Old Tile House. This caused a stir among the crowd, with some screaming and others loudly inquiring, though they were too far for those on stage to hear clearly.

After a brief intermission, Jin played “Cat’s Fantasy. ”
Hearing the backstory and then listening to “Cat’s Fantasy” again, the fans felt it was different from before. It seemed that every time they heard “Cat’s Fantasy,” they experienced different emotions.

While Jin was playing the guitar, suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, “Look, a cat!”

“Shut up! It’s a concert, listen to the music, don’t make noise, show some class!” someone whispered sharply.

“No, really, there’s a cat!” Many people spotted it and stared with their mouths agape, pointing to the stage.

Zheng Tan, perched in the tree, almost slid off when he saw what was happening on stage.

Oh my god!

How did the sheriff get up there! Isn’t that guy supposed to be crouched down in the small flower bed?!(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (wuxiaworld.site), cast monthly tickets, and support us. Mobile users, please visit m.wuxiaworld.site to read.)
