Xu Yanshen obtained Ye Yingying's contact information, but he did not immediately add her as a friend. Perhaps due to Ye Yingying's misunderstanding or some other reason, Xu Yanshen kept the contact information.

The next day, because it was Song Yiming's girlfriend He Wangxing's birthday, Xu Yanshen was pulled away by Song Yiming to help out after only a short time of live streaming.

Song Yiming's girlfriend, He Wangxing, came from another province to work for a talent agency in Y City. She came to Y City alone to make her way in the world, and all her friends were back in her hometown. It was by chance that she met Song Yiming and Xu Yanshen. Her mentor wanted to persuade Xu Yanshen to enter the entertainment industry, so he took her to bother Xu Yanshen a few times. However, Xu Yanshen did not get any results, and she was tricked by Song Yiming and they became a couple.

He Wangxing was also a young girl who had just graduated not long ago. At first, she only treated Song Yiming like a younger brother. Later, she found that although Song Yiming was immature and acted recklessly, he had no bad intentions. He just followed Xu Yanshen around. No matter how much money Xu Yanshen made, he would not be envious or jealous. At most, he would say that Brother Shen should treat him to meals when he made money. He wished he could be as handsome as Brother Shen.

Despite saying that, Song Yiming was actually very honest. His reason for pursuing He Wangxing was simple: he thought she was beautiful and had a good figure.

In fact, He Wangxing's appearance can only be described as pretty. I don't know if it fits Song Yiming's aesthetic, but Song Yiming is picky about beautiful women online, but he always praises He Wangxing for being beautiful and regards her as a goddess.

Song Yiming worked with Xu Yanshen in the media and as a news anchor for two years, and it took him a year and a half to win over He Wangxing. They have been dating for six months now. Although he sometimes complains about looking at beautiful women and discusses with Xu Yanshen how many of his fans are very pretty, he is like a lamb in front of He Wangxing. Despite being tall, rough, and impulsive, Song Yiming is becoming more and more mature under He Wangxing's guidance.

That evening, Song Yiming invited Xu Yanshen and several of his other friends over to surprise his girlfriend on her birthday.

Of the brothers Xu Yanshen used to hang out with, only four or five are still close friends two years after graduation.

Two of them didn't continue their studies after graduating with Xu Yanshen. After working for a while, they couldn't stand it and went back to school to repeat their studies. One got into a junior college, and the other got into a university with a lower admission score, even though his score was just above the undergraduate line.

At first, they were all hesitant to tell Xu Yanshen about it, avoiding him. After all, the brothers had promised to hang out together, and when the two of them went to repeat a year of high school and became good students, Xu Yanshen didn't bother them. They thought Xu Yanshen was just unhappy that they had secretly gone to school to repeat a year, and that was how their brotherhood had ended. Unexpectedly, after they graduated, Xu Yanshen and Song Yiming waited for them outside on their motorcycle with fried chicken and beer. Unfortunately, Shen Heng was missing. The group even made a promise to visit Shen Heng in prison sometime.

That night, the two boys drank several bottles of beer and cried uncontrollably, saying they were sorry to Xu Yanshen. Xu Yanshen laughed in anger and gave them a good scolding, saying directly, "Your going to school is taking responsibility for your future. How could I hold a grudge against you over something like this and then bully you instead?"

Lu Guican glanced at Song Yiming and said dryly, "Brother Ming said that all those who study are bookworms, that he looks down on bookworms, and that we shouldn't contact each other anymore. Brother Shen definitely won't continue to hang out with me and Pu Di."

Song Yiming got angry. "Tsk, why are you tattling on me?"

Song Yiming immediately smiled ingratiatingly at Xu Yanshen, "Brother, haven't we run into too many bookworms like that before? They've all gone stupid from studying, and they keep calling me 'teacher, teacher' at the slightest thing, such a pain in the ass—"

Xu Yanshen glanced at Song Yiming and said casually, "I didn't expect you to have done so many things behind my back."

Song Yiming immediately begged for mercy. He was the kind of person who liked to exaggerate without thinking, and when things got out of hand, he always got a severe scolding from Xu Yanshen.

The group has kept in touch for the past two years, and today, taking advantage of Song Yiming's girlfriend's birthday celebration and the help with the decorations, the brothers got together.

After inflating the balloons and setting up the venue, Song Yiming's girlfriend should have finished her overtime work and be about to get off work.

Song Yiming immediately took a few friends and prepared to go to the hotel for dinner with his girlfriend.

Xu Yanshen and his friends were also good at handling things; they all prepared gifts for Song Yiming's girlfriends. Some even gave him red envelopes to give to his girlfriend later, while others gave him shopping cards.

While waiting for He Wangxing in the private room, Pu Di couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected that Song Yiming, who is the least understanding of girls among us, would have a girlfriend, and even Brother Shen is still single."

Lu Guican laughed: "You don't understand. How can Brother Shen be compared to us? It's not that he can't find a girlfriend, it's that those girls don't meet his standards."

"Shen-ge doesn't have a girl he likes yet, does he?" Pu Di nudged Song Yiming.

Song Yiming thought for a long time and shook his head, saying, "No, there really isn't. A few rich and beautiful girls came to Brother Shen's live stream before. They looked very pretty in their daily posts and even sent him several rockets. In the end, they messaged Brother Shen in private messages, wanting to ask him out. Brother Shen didn't even glance at them. These beauties were practically offering themselves up. No wonder he was famous as the school beauty killer back in his student days."

Xu Yanshen glanced at Song Yiming, "Don't talk nonsense."

Pu Di, however, got excited. "Song Yiming, didn't our Brother Shen talk to that super popular female celebrity before—"

Which one?

"That one—that heroic figure!"

"What heroic bearing? She's famous, her name is Ye Yingying."

"Right, right, it's that Ye Yingying. Isn't that the kind of girl Shen-ge likes?" Pu Di couldn't help but say, "She hasn't released any works yet, and when she was still an internet celebrity, didn't Shen-ge already have a bit of..."

Before Xu Yanshen could speak, Song Yiming answered for him, "Brother Shen doesn't like Ye Yingying. He said it from the very beginning when he got involved with Ye Yingying: he didn't like that type. I guess his taste has changed, and he likes women with S-shaped figures now..."

"Song Yiming".

A chill ran down Song Yiming's spine. He turned to Xu Yanshen with a dry smile and asked, "Brother Shen, what's wrong?"

"Don't spread rumors about me." Xu Yanshen interrupted their gossip, looking down and frequently checking his phone.

I just added a friend using the account Ye Yingying gave me, but I haven't accepted the friend request yet.
