Well then, thank you for ignoring me.

There was still some time before the concert started.

More of Yu Jianxin's fans poured in!

Many people felt like laughing when they saw He Li selling umbrellas.

But when they saw a beautiful girl like Miao Xiaoyu accompanying him... even circling around him, bringing water and wiping his sweat, they couldn't laugh anymore.

"He Li, are you thirsty? Should I go buy you some water?"

"He Li, are you hungry? Should I buy you food?"

"He Li, are you hot? I'll fan you..."

...Sitting on a small folding stool, Wu Gang looked strangely at He Li and Miao Xiaoyu sitting in the shade of the tree, watching Miao Xiaoyu buy food, bring water, and even thoughtfully wipe He Li's sweat and fan him... He had a feeling of déjà vu.

He suddenly remembered that this was exactly how He Li used to treat Liu Yuyan!

"Damn it, this guy actually has a day where he gets fawned over?"

"And by a rich goddess like Miao Xiaoyu?"

"Should I really not have come here?"

"I've been a third wheel all afternoon and got a mouthful of dog food..."

The more Wu Gang thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. But when he saw the male attendees passing by, glaring at He Li with red eyes, grinding their teeth in envy and jealousy... and when he saw those pretty girls staring at He Li's extremely handsome face like hungry wolves seeing meat... and occasionally glancing at him, too... he suddenly felt completely comfortable.

Especially when he heard the passersby discussing it, he felt even better.

"Wow~ the little brother running that stall is so handsome!"

"Sis, he's even handsomer than your idol~"

"That girl next to him is such an eyesore. If I went up there, I could definitely serve the brother more comfortably!"

"You little hussy, know your place!"

"You are far inferior compared to that girl."

"I think you should aim lower. Look, that young man in front of them is also quite good!"

"Hmph, you girls are so superficial!"

"It's either muscles or looks. What's so great about those pretty boys or muscle-bound jocks?"

"That girl at the stall is the best. Beautiful and kind-hearted, not afraid of poverty, and willing to set up a stall with her boyfriend—that's the look of love!"

...Boyfriend? The look of love?

Listening to the continuous discussions of the passersby, Miao Xiaoyu's face was flushed, and her heart pounded like a startled deer. She secretly glanced at He Li, only to find He Li staring at her without blinking.

"What is it?" she asked nervously when she saw this.

He Li smiled and said, "You are too good to me!"

"I want to look at you properly and remember your kindness to me!"

These simple, straightforward words sent Miao Xiaoyu's heart into chaos.

"Where... where did you get that idea? It's just... small things..."

She lowered her head shyly, her voice barely a whisper.

He Li still smiled without speaking, but he reached out, took the small fan from Miao Xiaoyu's hand, and began fanning her. The latter immediately felt immensely cool, closing her eyes in enjoyment.

Although their actions were mundane, the pungent smell of love had spread far and wide.

The nearby passersby and vendors... felt sour, as if they had just bitten into a lemon.

At the same time, a loud noise suddenly came from the venue ahead!

Beautiful colored smoke also burst forth in the sky.

Clearly, the concert had officially begun.

The concert lasted three hours. As the sun set, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky and strong winds began to blow. The city, which had been illuminated by the golden afterglow, quickly grew dim.

Wu Gang, who was bored and fiddling with his phone, only snapped back to reality when he saw raindrops the size of beans hitting the screen... "Wuhu~ It's really going to rain!!!"

"We're taking off, Li Zi, Li Zi, look quickly..."

"Huh?" Wu Gang jumped up excitedly. He turned his head, wanting to say something to He Li, but was stunned after turning, because he saw He Li and Miao Xiaoyu sitting together, leaning against each other under the tree.

Miao Xiaoyu's head rested on He Li's shoulder, and He Li's cheek rested on Miao Xiaoyu's hair, as if they were asleep.

Seeing their cozy appearance... Wu Gang scratched his head and decided not to disturb them.

He thought for a moment and quickly snapped two pictures with his phone.

Then he quickly packed up his stall and started moving the goods to the car.

The stalls near the concert entrance were already beginning to pack up and flee, anticipating the heavy rain. He was now moving all his goods over there so they would be easier to sell later.

However, as the raindrops fell faster and faster,

He Li and Miao Xiaoyu, sleeping under the tree, were startled awake and realized the situation.

They realized their position almost simultaneously.

Although this intimate contact had happened unintentionally... Miao Xiaoyu was still thrilled.

Her little heart was pounding uncontrollably.

"Hehe, coming today was definitely the right choice. I actually... actually slept leaning on He Li's shoulder for a bit."

"Xiaoyu, keep fighting! This is a small step towards love!"

"Strive to take a big step next time!"

She smoothed her hair, blushing as she encouraged herself.

He Li sniffed, clearly smelling the fragrance on his own body that came from Miao Xiaoyu. This scent, which was extremely familiar to him from his previous life, made him happy and intoxicated.

However, seeing the heavy rain approaching, he didn't have time to dwell on his past life with Miao Xiaoyu.

He looked at Wu Gang, who had finished packing up... "Why didn't you wake us up?"

"Heh heh, wasn't it because I couldn't bear to disturb you two?"

"Well said, now hurry up and go?"

"Alright! You two sit tight!" As soon as he finished speaking, the car quickly darted to the entrance of the concert venue and set up the rain shelter. Just as they finished setting up, the scattered raindrops rapidly turned into a torrential downpour.

In just a few minutes, every corner of the plaza outside the concert venue was filled with a thick layer of standing water!

Large numbers of fans were also running out of the concert.

Some couldn't help but step forward and ask the price of the raincoats and umbrellas.

Wu Gang thought for a moment and was about to say 10 yuan... but He Li immediately stated: "50 yuan!"

"Holy crap, 50 yuan for one umbrella or one raincoat?"

"Are you robbing people here?" the customer couldn't help but shout.

He Li sneered: "Then you don't have to buy it!"

"But don't blame me for not warning you. We only have this one carload of items, and it's nowhere near enough for the thousands of people at the concert."

"If you can't buy one soon, you'll end up soaked."

"The rain is heavy, and getting a cold and needing an IV drip..."

"Will probably cost you more than 50 yuan!"

"Plus, it's hard to get a taxi here. If you don't buy, you're the one who suffers; I'm not in a hurry."

"Besides, I'm the only one selling raincoats and umbrellas here, you have no choice!"

As soon as he said this, not only was the person asking the price deflated,

but the others who were originally indignant also fell silent.

That's right, they had no choice. There were only so many items. If you didn't buy, plenty of people would. Not only would getting soaked be miserable, but getting sick would be even worse. After agonizing for a long time, someone finally paid up.

"Damn it, you're handsome but cold-hearted, kid!"

"50 it is, 50! I want two raincoats!"

"I want one too, I want an umbrella!"

"Three umbrellas, one raincoat..."

With someone taking the lead, more and more people were willing to pay.

Watching the money continuously flow into his phone... Wu Gang's eyes widened. He was truly convinced. Not only did He Li calculate that the weather forecast was wrong and that heavy rain would fall, but he also had the audacity to sell raincoats and umbrellas at exorbitant prices, and, even more ridiculously, people were actually buying them.

What was wrong with this world? Had it gone crazy?

Forget it, making money was the priority. He didn't have time to think further and quickly joined He Li in collecting money and giving customers their goods.

In just a few tens of minutes... the goods they brought were almost sold out.

Meanwhile, Liu Yuyan and a few others, who had struggled for a long time to squeeze out of the concert venue, also saw He Li and the others. Seeing them frantically selling raincoats and umbrellas and making a huge profit... Liu Yuyan felt both envious and shocked.

However, the most urgent thing now was to get He Li to save a few umbrellas.

Otherwise, she would also get soaked later.

Li Feng next to her clearly thought the same, so she quickly pulled Liu Yuyan toward He Li's stall: "He Li, He Li!" Hearing the sound, He Li looked up at them.

"Give us a few umbrellas, won't you? You wouldn't want Yu Yan to get soaked, right?"

She said, smiling while pulling Liu Yuyan.

Liu Yuyan also looked at He Li without speaking.

The implication was clearly that she agreed with Li Feng's words.

But He Li replied coldly: "Whether Liu Yuyan gets soaked or not has nothing to do with me!"

"I bought my umbrellas too. If you want an umbrella, pay for it!"

Hearing this, Li Feng immediately froze awkwardly.

He Li's lack of consideration further infuriated Liu Yuyan.

She finally couldn't help but say, "Didn't you sell umbrellas on a sunny day just to get my attention? I admit you succeeded, and I admit you were indeed lucky to run into a time when the weather forecast was wrong."

"But I already gave you a way out, why do you insist on continuing this childish fuss?"

"If you keep this up, I really will ignore you!"

"Then I thank you for ignoring me!" He Li sneered.

Liu Yuyan was immediately choked by his words and stomped her feet in anger.

She couldn't understand what was wrong with He Li.

Did he absolutely insist that she bow her head to him?

She had already given him a way out twice... yet he refused to compromise. Wasn't he going too far?

She had been good to him; even when he made mistakes, she always considered him and gave him a chance to save face. But what about him? Instead, he pressed her harder, treating her kindness as worthless, forcing her to submit.

The more Liu Yuyan thought about it, the angrier and more wronged she felt, and tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes...
