For example, Jiang Xuanqi, who just a moment ago thought she could continue to ride the high wave of fame with the sequel to "Rock Youth," felt as if her financial lifeline had been cut the instant she heard Yu Zexiao wasn’t participating. She didn’t care whether her success was tied to Yu Zexiao’s coattails; all she knew was that because of Yu Zexiao, she had lost another chance to become wildly popular and make a fortune.
Especially because she couldn’t have Yu Zexiao, she couldn’t help feeling sour, always thinking, "You think you’re too good for me and settle for that plain Jane apple? It’s your loss!" Jiang Xuanqi, who went from fan to hater, and from love to spite, watched as they went their separate ways and sneered behind them, "Big deal, releasing an album, thinks he’s so great! With your taste in women!"
But it was Lu Jiayuan who frowned and retorted, "If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute!"
While Jiang Xuanqi might not dare to raise her voice against Yu Zexiao, she had no such concerns when facing Lu Jiayuan. Immediately, her eyes bulged and with a scornful face she replied, "What, upset because I mentioned your little lover? Oh, right, she’s not even sparing you a glance now!"
Lu Jiayuan frowned even more, as if he wanted to say something more, but the sadness that had instantly invaded his body when Jian Anning personally expressed her feelings for Yu Zexiao to him that afternoon stopped him.
In the end, he said nothing and turned back to his room.
Meanwhile, Jian Anning, who didn’t live with them, had gone back to her own room. Since Liu Chunmei’s hospitalization night, they had already planned to spend the night at Yu Zexiao’s, and everything was well prepared. At this point, all she needed was a quick freshen up before she could happily enjoy the "service" of the handsome man.
However, to her surprise, what Yu Zexiao said in jest had now actually become reality.
Just as she was about to leave, she received a phone call from Hong Minjun.
Lately, she had been calling Hong Minjun at the end of each day to report on Yu Zexiao’s situation. Seeing her call now, she immediately answered, "Hello, Sister Minjun."
"Anning, it’s great news," Hong Minjun said on the other end. "Zexiao’s music advisor has been confirmed and should be in touch with you in the next few days."
"Really?" Jian Anning was elated, knowing that Yu Zexiao was looking forward to this new album much more than acting in a TV drama. "Who is it?"
"The person is a young musician, not particularly famous. However, her musical proficiency is very deep," Hong Minjun said with a laugh, "and—"
"And what?" Whether or not someone is famous is just a matter of time, Jian Anning thought, not particularly concerned, as she had once studied piano herself.
"And this person is the last disciple of the famous piano master, John Gruber," Hong Minjun said excitedly.
------------------------------------
Half an hour later, someone was knocking on Yu Zexiao’s door.
When Yu Zexiao opened the door, sure enough, there stood Jian Anning.
He felt annoyed; they had agreed on a time earlier, and she had made him wait an hour! If it wasn’t for her standing at the door, he would’ve called her out on it already.
