Chapter 333 - 212: Nora Scott: Pedro Langley, My Boyfriend [Part 3]

Throwing the sunglasses into her bag, Evelyn Winter glanced at Pedro Langley with a smile, and asked Nora Scott, "Is he your boyfriend?"

"Yeah."

Nora Scott responded without any hesitation.

Calmly and effortlessly, she acknowledged Pedro Langley’s status as her "boyfriend" in an easygoing manner.

However, Pedro Langley, standing silently on one side, was stunned for a solid three seconds by her simple "yeah".

Unexpected.

Caught off guard.

Then, his previously steady heartbeat started to race irregularly. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he instinctively squeezed Nora Scott’s hand, lightly grazing her palm with his fingers.

Nora Scott tried to dodge, but he held her tightly, leaving her no chance to escape.

Turning her head slightly, Nora Scott cast a sideways glance at him with the corner of her eye, catching sight of Pedro Langley’s delighted expression. The usually steady-as-a-rock man was openly displaying his little joys and excitement without hiding anything.

Her previously composed demeanor melted into tenderness, and Nora Scott’s lips subconsciously curved upwards.

Evelyn Winter looked at Pedro Langley and praised, "What a handsome man."

"Yeah."

Nora Scott responded again, without any humility or evasion, completely agreeing with her statement.

No matter how much praise and admiration was directed at Pedro Langley, Nora Scott remained unfazed and acknowledged it all.

"Haha..."

Her unabashed "showing off her boyfriend" successfully amused Evelyn Winter.

Evelyn Winter was straightforward, and after the laughter, she proactively invited them, "The more the merrier. How about joining us for the electric music festival?"

"What do you think?" Nora Scott asked Pedro Langley.

She didn’t make a decision hastily but instead threw the decision-making power to Pedro Langley.

It’s nothing else.

Knowing Pedro Langley’s awkward nature, his New Year’s gift was two tickets to the music festival, obviously wanting to go with her without other people tagging along.

If she agreed to Evelyn Winter right away, it would be hard to manage if Pedro Langley got upset.

"Honored."

Pedro Langley replied politely with a slight curl of his lips.

Normally, he would cherish the time alone with Nora Scott, but without this "Winter’s" invitation, Nora Scott wouldn’t have...

Of course, he didn’t mind.

Evelyn Winter raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Such a sweet talker?"

Nora Scott playfully pinched him back, throwing him a speechless look.

Pedro Langley was in a good mood, completely unfazed.

The air was filled with sweet vibes.

...

The plaza hosting the electric music festival was outdoors without seats; you could enter after checking the tickets.

It was manageable outside the venue, but once you entered, it was a scene of people squeezing against each other, with no room to stretch, only heads packed tightly, and various support signs and glow sticks.

No denying, Pedro Langley was wise to hold Nora Scott’s hand while entering.

"Did you bring a raincoat?"

In the noisy crowd, Evelyn Winter unconsciously raised her voice a few notches while speaking.

Nora Scott replied, "No."

"The weather forecast says there will be light rain tonight." Evelyn Winter took out a disposable raincoat from her bag and handed it to her, "There’s only one extra; you two can use it together."

"Thanks—"

Nora Scott took the raincoat but was interrupted before she could finish her sentence by sudden screams.

"Ah ah ah—"

"Ah ah ah—"

"Ah ah ah—"

As soon as the electronic music equipment resounded, the whole crowd erupted in screams, instantly heating the atmosphere as people waved their arms and shouted out, letting loose.

"Clement Winter!"

"Clement Winter!"

"Clement Winter!"

...

In a certain section, fans’ cheers suddenly echoed.

The sound almost pierced through the eardrums.

Nora Scott lifted her eyes towards the stage, seeing a black-clad youth emerging from the lift platform, in a flashy and cool outfit, enveloped in stage lighting and the crowd’s screams, showing none of his previously encountered naivety and pitifulness but looking crisp and strikingly handsome.

On a sudden impulse, Nora Scott took out her phone, opened the camera, and handed it to Pedro Langley.

Pedro Langley looked at the phone thrust into his hand, understanding her intention, frowned slightly, and reluctantly cooperated.

—Why should he help her take pictures of another man?

Moreover, someone who was known to cry a lot.

However, Nora Scott didn’t notice his displeasure, assuming he didn’t catch on, and stood on tiptoes, leaning close to his ear and slightly raising her voice—

"Make sure it’s good."

The sound entered his ears, carrying a warm breath.

Pedro Langley’s heart felt brushed by a gentle breeze, swaying slightly, making him feel unsettled at once.

But—

He raised the hand holding Nora Scott’s.

Before Nora Scott could react, the camera captured their intertwined fingers, the shot encompassing the foremost stage, freezing Clement Winter’s sudden gaze upwards.

"Here."

Saving the photo, Pedro Langley handed the phone back to Nora Scott.

Nora Scott took it, her gaze sweeping over, pausing briefly on their holding hands, but instead of criticizing, she silently put the phone away without saying a word.

...

Clement Winter’s opening performance was a complete success.

The whole venue’s atmosphere reached a peak.

The following acts were all very famous international stars, and each performance fueled the heat even more. In less than twenty minutes, Nora Scott noticed several girls around had screamed themselves hoarse.

"Where’s Winter?"

Absorbed in the music, it took Nora Scott about half an hour to realize Evelyn Winter had disappeared at some point.

Gazing around, she didn’t see any trace of her.

Pedro Langley remained calm, "Got separated in the crowd."

With such a bustling and crowded scene, constant movement of people, and unstable positions, losing track without constant attention was quite normal.

Pedro Langley, tightly holding onto Nora Scott, leaned in close and said, "Contact her after the show."

"..." Nora Scott paused and said, "I don’t have her contact information."

Pedro Langley: "..."

"We just met today."

Pedro Langley: "..."

A speechless feeling.

He initially considered inviting her for a nice meal.

Bad things never come alone, and not long into the festival, just as Evelyn Winter predicted, it began to drizzle unexpectedly.

The rain wasn’t heavy, just a light drizzle, but it was quite cold, immediately dampening the hot atmosphere quite a bit.

Fortunately, many in attendance had the foresight to bring raincoats or umbrellas, and within two minutes, they pulled out their gear, putting on rain gear or opening umbrellas, unfazed by the cold rain as they continued to enjoy the electronic music.

Nora Scott opened the raincoat, intending to share it with Pedro Langley, but he forcibly put it over her, tightening the hood around her.

"What about you?"

Nora Scott turned to see the needle-like rain falling on Pedro Langley’s head, drenching his short hair strand by strand.

"It’s fine." Pedro Langley said nonchalantly, then leaned forward, "If you’re worried about me, just—"

His dark eyes shifted to the surrounding crowd.

Nora Scott’s gaze followed his direction and immediately paused.

In the venue, these electronic music–fueled attendees screamed and cheered in the rain, with couples hugging and kissing... the scene was crazy and unrestrained.

"Pedro Langley."

A wild idea shot from her mind to her scalp, giving her goosebumps.

Pedro Langley looked at her and hummed in response.

Nora Scott stood on tiptoes, leaned forward.
