with pride . " Everyone , I'd like to formally introduce you to my little sister , Nina Chang . She's also the one person I want- ed to see here most tonight . " Then , Asher gently took the ticket from Kiki's trembling , white - knuckled grasp . The camera zoomed in for an extreme close - up . There , in the bottom right corner , was a beautifully stylized " Nina , " foil - stamped onto the 16.21 Chupter 2 ticket stock . The proof was undeniable . 1631 Asher held up the ticket , his voice turning cold . " This was supposed to be my Mid - Autumn gift to my sister . But it seems some irrelevant people got their hands on it through less - than - honorable means . " Under the scrutiny of millions , Kiki finally broke . All pretense of composure gone , she began to babble , trying desperately to save herself . " It wasn't me ! I didn't steal it ! It was Leo ! He gave it to me ! " " Leo stole Nina's ticket for me ! I swear , I didn't know anything about it ! " Faced with total public humiliation , she didn't hesitate to throw the boy who had just been her biggest cheer- leader under the bus . With her finger pointed at him , Leo instantly became the villain of the story . Every camera , every eye in the house swung to him . He stood there , mouth agape , his face ashen . He couldn't say a word . What could he say ? That he had proud- ly stolen his own girlfriend's ticket to impress another girl ? Asher's gaze was like a knife , pinning the pathetic figure in the stands . " Oh ? Leo Shen ?" He turned to me , as if clarifying a minor detail , and asked deliberately , in front of everyone , " Nina , is this the boyfriend you told me about ? " I took the second microphone from the host . I looked down at the man in the rafters , the man I had once truly loved , the man who now looked small and utterly humiliated . And I announced to the world , my voice clear and calm , " As of right now , he's not ." Instantly , hashtags like #AsherChangSister , #TicketThiefLeo , and #KikiLinExposed didn't just trend , they detonated across every social media platform . The clip of Kiki's on - stage implosion and memes of Leo's dumbstruck face went globally viral , becoming the biggest joke of the year . Asher's fans , especially those who had been duped into attacking me , were now incandescent with rage . Kiki's friend , the fan club admin who had started the rumors , was doxxed within minutes . Boycotts were organized , and every misdeed the pair had ever posted online was dug up and put on display . Kiki was escorted off the stage by security . I heard she collapsed backstage , crying hysterically , her makeup a ruined mess , screaming that Leo had destroyed her life . And Leo , under a hail of boos and laughter , covered his face and fled the stadium like a beaten dog . His phone was blowing up with furious messages from classmates and friends . On stage , to soothe the crowd and make up for my ruined surprise , Asher announced he was adding a spec- ial song to the setlist - my favorite from when we were kids . He said it was a belated gift for me . The entire stadium lit up with phone flashlights , a galaxy of stars , as they sang along with him. It was beautiful . After the show , my parents called . They had seen the whole thing on the livestream . They fussed over me , 16.21 Chapter 2 then gave their full support for my decision to " take out the trash . "
