Song Wanzi narrowed her eyes and uttered a low, husky voice like a lazy cat, "Is she still a minor?"

The agent nodded hurriedly, and Song Wanzi gave a lukewarm "oh." Just as the agent was about to relax, Song Wanzi's muttering to herself reached her ears again, "So she hasn't differentiated yet?"

The agent immediately became alert, "But according to her test results, there is a 99% chance that she will differentiate into an alpha in the future."

Song Wanzi was silent for a moment, then said, "What a pity."

She then changed the subject, saying, "We've never met before, yet she spent two million on me in a short period of time and even helped me secure an endorsement deal with Tang's. She must like me quite a bit."

Song Wanzi lowered her eyes and smiled, "Anyway, she'll be an adult soon."

The agent dared not think any further and could only comfort herself that this was the first time Song Wanzi had encountered such a crazy fan, so the other party had only successfully caught her attention. Presumably, once Song Wanzi got busy, or Qiao Yu lost interest in Song Wanzi, Song Wanzi's interest in Qiao Yu would probably end there.

Song Wanzi has lived a clean and honest life, and has never had any scandals in her ten years in the industry. She shouldn't ruin her reputation because of a minor.

Qiao Yu frowned, holding her phone. "That Meng E has really made something of herself; she actually dared to hang up on me." She tried calling back, but no one answered. Qiao Yu was filled with questions. "Could it be that she's resentful that I'm biased, only sending beauties to Tang Shu and neglecting her?"

Qiao Yu suddenly realized that she and Meng E were very close, which explained Meng E's unhappiness. She hadn't considered things carefully enough. Since they were both her friends, she should treat them equally and give them both the benefits.

And then there's Jiang Mei… Qiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then quickly dismissed the idea. Jiang Mei was angry with her right now, and if she dared to send the beauty over, Jiang Mei might think she was deliberately mocking her.

Qiao Yu sighed, hugging herself and sobbing, "It's so hard to coax the female lead."

Jiang Mei is usually indifferent to desires and has a particularly aloof personality. In the original story, she was very polite when she was with the original owner of the body. She only showed her passionate and crazy side when she met Song Wanzi.

Qiao Yu's eyes lit up slightly. Wasn't Song Wanzi Jiang Mei's favorite person? So, all she had to do now was cater to her preferences.

Qiao Yu quickly perked up. She had already won over Song Wanzi on Jiang Mei's behalf, so now it was her turn to try and get an opportunity for Song Wanzi in front of Jiang Mei.

After throwing the inventory list into the safe, Qiao Yu immediately sent Jiang Mei a message: "Have you finished your homework? I'll treat you to milk tea."

Biting her fingernail, Qiao Yu felt that her sentence hadn't been well-executed, so she quickly deleted it and resent it: "I have a little secret to tell you, I don't know if you have time."

Qiao Yu stared at the screen without moving. Just as the two-minute countdown was about to end, she couldn't help but retract the message: "I have some shocking gossip here, do you want to hear it?"

Qiao Yu repeatedly deleted over a dozen messages. After Jiang Mei finished her homework and turned on her mobile data, she frowned as she looked at the screen full of deleted messages. Ignoring the other person's typing status, Jiang Mei pursed her lips and typed a line: "Where are you?"

Um?

Qiao Yu's hand trembled slightly as she drank her milk tea, and she subconsciously sent a voice message: "I'm at the milk tea shop near the school gate right now."

Jiang Mei didn't reply to the message. Qiao Yu, biting her straw, wasn't quite sure whether the other party had agreed to meet or not. She took another sip of milk tea, and when she looked up again, Jiang Mei was already standing at the door, panting.

Her neatly styled black hair was slightly disheveled, and her porcelain-white skin was flushed. Although her expression was calm, her slightly rapid breathing betrayed her barely concealed anxiety.

Qiao Yu waved happily, "Here!"

Jiang Mei turned around and saw the person huddled obediently in the corner, clutching their milk tea. She subtly observed them for a few moments; their clothes were intact, and their mental state seemed normal. Jiang Mei slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Yu rushed to Jiang Mei and fawned over her, offering her a cup of milk tea, saying, "I bought you your favorite flavor."

Jiang Mei lowered her eyes. In fact, she didn't like the taste of milk tea at all, but Qiao Yu liked it very much, so she always tried to pretend to like it to make her happy.

Unable to resist the other woman's bright and expectant gaze, Jiang Mei took the pomelo tea from Qiao Yu's hand. "You just retracted a lot of messages."

Qiao Yu had already prepared her emotions. Her eyelashes drooped down, and when she raised them again, her pure and innocent almond-shaped eyes were glistening with tears, making her look pitiful. "I originally came to say goodbye to you."

Jiang Mei's heart clenched suddenly, so hard she could hardly breathe. "You...you're leaving?"

When Qiao Yu rejected her that day, she kept saying she wanted to transfer schools. However, she still came to class as usual the next day and didn't take any action. Jiang Mei then assumed that she had given up on transferring schools.

Jiang Mei's face was deathly pale, and Qiao Yu's eyes were slightly red, her voice choked with emotion, "Yes."

A sharp pain shot through her heart, and Jiang Mei's gaze gradually became unfocused; she could barely sit still.

She's leaving. Once she leaves, when they meet again, she'll be unreachable, someone from a completely different world. They'll be like two parallel lines, never to intersect again in this lifetime.

Jiang Mei clenched her fists, but she didn't have the courage to ask the simple question, "Can you not leave?"

“But,” Qiao Yu said softly, “I’m really worried about you.”

"I'm afraid that if I leave, you won't have enough to eat or wear, and you'll be bullied by them. If I'm gone, who will protect you?"

"Then don't leave me!"

Jiang Mei froze, belatedly realizing that she had involuntarily blurted out her innermost thoughts in her anxiety. Looking at Qiao Yu, who was clearly stunned, Jiang Mei nervously lowered her head, not daring to look into her eyes.

She was terrified that the other person would reject her and then leave without looking back.

Qiao Yu hadn't expected Jiang Mei to be so reluctant to part with her. She smiled gently and gracefully stepped down the stairs, saying, "Okay."

Jiang Mei looked up in disbelief. Qiao Yu's eyes shone brightly, gentle and sweet. "I'm not going anywhere until you find someone who can protect you for the rest of your life."

"Wherever you are from now on, I will be there."

Jiang Mei's heart raced uncontrollably; the joy of regaining what she had lost almost made her unable to think. Like a wooden statue, she nodded blankly, then forced a stiff smile, "Then you can't go back on your word."

"Of course." Qiao Yu thought to herself, even if she wanted to go back on her word, she couldn't. In the book, all the main and supporting characters revolved around Jiang Mei. Even if she wanted to stay far away from Jiang Mei, the system would automatically bounce her back, and she couldn't go anywhere.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, Qiao Yu cautiously asked, "Then... you're not angry with me anymore, right?"

"I've never been angry with you." How could she bear to be angry with Yu Yu? Just thinking about how Qiao Yu almost left her, she dared not have any emotions.

Qiao Yu was finally relieved.

After discovering Qiao Yu's barrage of attacks, Meng E felt dizzy and had to push Song Wanzi forward to divert Qiao Yu's attention. "Yu Yu, do you have time now? The group is organizing people to vote for Sister Song on the ranking list."

Qiao Yu glanced at Jiang Mei, "I'm afraid it's not convenient for me right now..."

"I'm fine," Jiang Mei said softly. "Go ahead and get back to work."

Qiao Yu immediately changed her answer, "Yes."

"Actually, Song Wanzi is very amazing." Qiao Yu said with a hint of her own thoughts, "She has been in the industry for ten years without having any scandals with anyone, and she has also won many awards. She has both good looks and acting skills. I guess there is no one in the world who doesn't like her."

"Whoever marries her in the future will be incredibly lucky," Qiao Yu said with a smile, her implication quite clear. "I just wonder who will be so fortunate."

Jiang Mei's initial joy at regaining what she had lost vanished instantly. Qiao Yu kept mentioning Song Wanzi; was Song Wanzi really that attractive to her? She stared at Qiao Yu, who was intently watching Song Wanzi's photo. She figured Qiao Yu's rejection that day must also be because of Song Wanzi, right?

But when exactly did she fall in love with Song Wanzi?

He and she were very close, and they talked about everything, but he had never noticed any change in her feelings.

Jiang Mei's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, or rather—

Qiao Yu had been hiding something from me for a long time?

So when Qiao Yu was praising Song Wanzi to the skies, Jiang Mei interrupted her inappropriately, saying, "She's just a little prettier than the average person."

Qiao Yu suddenly stopped what she was doing, "?"

Ah, this...

Why is it not quite what she imagined?
