[Some Courier Service] Please pick up the package with tracking code **** at the Mantingjing courier station. For details, call 137********.
Yu Yang glanced at it and immediately turned off her phone.
The station’s owner was used to it—her packages often sat unclaimed for a long time.
On the first day of filming, Yu Yang felt as if her soul had already left her body.
Lin Shu looked at her like this.
“Rest well tonight, and be here on time tomorrow afternoon!”
Yu Yang made a hand gesture—she had no energy left to speak.
For some reason, she even, unusually, peeked at the property owners’ group chat.
She was too tired to notice the familiar avatar in the group.
The next morning, Yu Yang was woken up by Su Ni’s voice.
Yu Yang, still groggy, looked around at the three people in the room.
“Up this early and not sleeping—what are you doing?”
Then she threw the blanket over her head forcefully.
Su Ni peeked through a slit and held her phone screen toward Yu Yang.
“Look!”
There was a hint of joy in Su Ni’s tone.
At first, Yu Yang only opened one eye.
But in the next second, both eyes opened wide, and she even snatched Su Ni’s phone.
Seeing the content on the screen, Yu Yang’s mind went boom.
Yu Yang stared at Su Ni.
“He didn’t discuss this with you?”
Su Ni nodded and shook her head at the same time, leaving Yu Yang speechless.
Yu Yang stared at the latest post from Xie Huaili on V (a social media platform).
Xie Huaili: Yes, I’m married! @Su Ni
Attached was a photo of the marriage certificate.
Yu Yang looked at Su Ni.
“Why do I feel like you’re kind of happy about this?”
Sometimes Su Ni couldn’t hide things and blurted out everything Xie Huaili had told her.
Yu Yang was still in shock.
Then Qiao Luoluo’s voice suddenly poured into everyone’s ears.
“I told you! The CP I ship must come true!”
Qin Nuo covered Qiao Luoluo’s mouth apologetically.
The kid was too young and naive!
Yu Yang stared at Xie Huaili’s post, occasionally glancing at Su Ni.
“By making this public, the fact that you two were secretly married is actually a minor issue. But terminating his contract won’t be so easy now!”
“But there really was no way around it. His crappy company is unbearable!”
Yu Yang had heard about the company Xie Huaili had signed with.
It had severely held back his personal development.
If it weren’t for that company dragging him down, Xie Huaili could have achieved even more.
Su Ni took back her phone and looked at her husband’s homepage.
“Ah Huai said that if it couldn’t be helped, he would just leave the industry!”
Yu Yang looked at Su Ni with some pity.
“No way! He’s just not going to try harder?”
“There’s no way to try!”
Yu Yang played with her hair, contemplating something.
Seeing Su Ni so worried, she thought:
“Who was it yesterday… oh, no, the night before that… crying so hard and saying they wanted a divorce?”
“That definitely wasn’t me,” Su Ni said, avoiding Yu Yang’s gaze.
“Honestly, it’s not easy. Even though I’m technically a rich second-generation in our small town, the entertainment industry has plenty of talented people.”
“You’re not wrong.”
Yu Yang never forced herself to care about people she didn’t care for. But for someone she cared about, she would give everything to help.
Pei Yucheng was somewhat surprised to receive Yu Yang’s call.
After listening to her, he watched the figure running freely in the garden.
He paused for a moment.
“Don’t worry about this. I’ll handle it. Since this is your friend, it’s only right for me, as your father, to help you.”
Yu Yang hung up and looked at the call record on her phone.
After hearing Su Ni’s words, she had already made up her mind.
If you don’t take advantage of a chance, you’re a fool.
Yu Yang glanced at the trending topics:
#XieHuailiFraud
#XieHuailiSuNi
#XieHuailiRuinedHisImage
#XieHuailiContractTermination
…
After finishing the call, Yu Yang realized Su Ni had already left.
It made sense—she probably wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t rest until she saw Xie Huaili.
Silently, Yu Yang sent Su Ni a message. After getting a reply, she finally felt at ease.
Qiao Luoluo chattered excitedly.
Yu Yang called her.
“How do you know they’re in that kind of relationship?”
“A woman’s sixth sense is very accurate,” Qiao Luoluo said, rubbing her hands.
“Xie Huaili was my first idol. The time and effort I spent following him couldn’t be compared to later ones. I was furious about everything he went through. At first, his posts were all depressing, until one day he posted a video playing guitar.”
“What did he sing? Something called Like a Dream. I even specifically searched for that song. But he deleted it quickly. I remember clearly—it was so sweet.”
“At that time, we guessed he might have a girlfriend. In our fan group, we had been following him since his debut, and we knew his company was difficult, so we discussed privately.”
“We all thought he had someone he liked. Later, we noticed something off between him and Su Ni. Sometimes, as fans, we become like detectives—it’s surprisingly accurate!”
Yu Yang didn’t know what to say after hearing that.
She stared at Qiao Luoluo.
“I admire you all!”
Qiao Luoluo suddenly jumped next to Yu Yang.
“Tell me the truth, sister—have you ever dated?”
Though asking, her bright eyes made Yu Yang feel that her answer didn’t really matter.
Qiao Luoluo grinned.
“Was he handsome?”
“Very handsome!”
Qiao Luoluo propped her chin on her hands, staring at Yu Yang.
“But seriously, sister, was he some kind of big shot? You’re so popular, yet no one found out. Your top fans are all amazing—they wouldn’t have missed it!”
Yu Yang remained silent. She wanted to say something but didn’t know what.
Qin Nuo urged Qiao Luoluo to do something else, then looked at Yu Yang.
“She’s young—you don’t have to argue with her!”
“I know!”
Yu Yang looked at Qin Nuo.
“Qin Nuo, do you have that one person you can’t forget?”
Qin Nuo was momentarily speechless.
Yu Yang’s gaze fell on the tattoo on Qin Nuo’s wrist.
“You must be a brave girl.”
Qin Nuo followed Yu Yang’s gaze to her wrist.
“Love makes people brave.”
Yu Yang casually checked her phone, keeping her composure.
But her voice betrayed her emotions.
“Qin Nuo, did you apply for this job because of him?”
“I… just wanted to be a little closer to him.”
After a long pause, Qin Nuo’s voice was tinged with bittersweetness.
It struck directly at Yu Yang’s heart.
“A little bit is enough!”
