Hard work pays off; after rigorous training, the results were astonishing. Leng Yue and Leng Yu's first original song, "Chasing Dreams," became a hit online.

"There is a little dream in my heart, it exists in the fierce wind. The wind wants to shatter me, but I am unwilling to retreat. I just want to build my dream with the wind!" Even as Shao Yang hummed the lyrics of "Chasing Dreams", Leng Yue still felt like she was dreaming.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me?" Shao Yang was humming a song with great enjoyment when he suddenly noticed Leng Yue staring at him seriously. He couldn't help but touch his face. "Is there something on my face?"

Leng Yue shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You like this song?"

Leng Yue was a little nervous. After asking the question, she was like a child waiting for exam results, her ten fingers twisted into a pretzel.

Shao Yang was completely oblivious to Leng Yue's nervousness. When he heard Leng Yue mention this song, he assumed he had met a kindred spirit and couldn't help but launch into a long, enthusiastic discussion.

"Yes, I heard this song online a couple of days ago. Do you like it too? I think the two girls who sang it were amazing! Their voices were light and gentle, while one of them had a slightly hoarse and weathered voice. Despite their seemingly mismatched voices, they performed the song perfectly. I think it's very beautiful. What about you? Do you think so too?" Shao Yang also wanted to hear Leng Yue's opinion.

However, upon hearing Shao Yang's words, Leng Yue smiled brightly with relief, "Shao Yang, thank you!"

Shao Yang was momentarily stunned. Only then did he realize that Leng Yue had become so beautiful without him noticing. Shao Yang was somewhat flustered.

Leng Yue was completely unaware of what was happening, and continued to smile brightly, revealing two sharp little tiger teeth.

Shao Yang felt a little uncomfortable, and he was wondering if he should say something to ease his emotions.

She noticed Leng Yue's canine teeth and said, "So you have canine teeth too? My sister does too."

"You just realized? We've been deskmates for almost three semesters now!" Leng Yue glared at Shao Yang.

For some reason, Shao Yang felt that even though Leng Yue was glaring at him the same way as before, it was still different from before!

"Leng Yue, have you lost weight?" After thinking carefully for a long time, Shao Yang finally figured out the crux of the problem.

It wasn't that he had fallen for Leng Yue; it was just that Leng Yue's charm had increased after she became more beautiful! Yes, that's it! He had only ever loved Leng Yu! Shao Yang found a reasonable explanation for his unusual behavior.

Leng Yue shook her head. "When would I have time to lose weight?"

At school, she had to study academic subjects, and at the studio, she also had to learn about music. Leng Yue wished she had twenty-five hours a day, and that she could dedicate all of them to studying. Where would she find the extra time to lose weight?

Shao Yang touched his chin and carefully observed Leng Yue. "But your chin has become noticeably sharper, your eyes are bigger than before, and your skin is much better."

Shao Yang paused for a moment, then said, "Come on, stand up."

Leng Yue, confused, stood up obediently. Shao Yang gestured between the two of them, "Look, you used to be about my height, now you're about my height. Leng Yue, you've grown quite a bit taller!"

Leng Yue's lips twitched. "Shao Yang, you're acting like a parent."

After Leng Yue finished speaking, she plopped back down and took out her math problems to work on.

She's not finding studying as difficult as before. In the last monthly exam, Leng Yue ranked among the top fifty in her grade. Although she hasn't yet reclaimed the original owner's peak—first in the grade—this is still a remarkable achievement for Leng Yue!

However, the VIP treatment in the restroom has not been canceled yet, and Leng Yue knows that she still has to keep trying!

After school in the afternoon, Leng Yue and Leng Yu went to the studio to practice as usual, but were stopped by Geng Le.

"Come on, come on, let's celebrate properly today and give you a day off!" Geng Le was also very excited. What could be more joyful than witnessing his two children grow up?

Leng Yue was also excited. Was this the victory celebration banquet? She couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"

"Qiqi has already booked a private room at Furui Restaurant. I'm here specifically to wait for you. Come on, let's go together." Geng Le took the keys and walked ahead.

"Who's there? Just the few of us?" Leng Yu asked curiously.

Geng Le: "It'll be more fun if the few of us, including Li Qi, celebrate together. By the way, should we invite my aunt along?"

Leng Yue and Leng Yu's affair could be kept secret from their parents in Bincheng, but how could it possibly be kept secret from their aunt, with whom they lived day and night?

Therefore, Leng Yue and Leng Yu had already confessed to their aunt. Fortunately, their aunt was very open-minded and did not try to stop them.

Over time, my aunt became familiar with everyone in the studio. She even knew about Leng Yue and Leng Yu posting songs online.

Leng Yue shook her head. "My aunt is on the night shift again today."

Leng Yu nodded in agreement.

The three of them soon arrived at the Bamboo-themed private room at the Fu Rui Restaurant.

Qi Zhe: "I've ordered some dishes first, and you can order some more of what you like."

Geng Le: "Where's Lao Li? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Qi Zhe: "He called and said he had some things to do at school and would be late."

Geng Le: "Come on, Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu, have a seat. Look at the menu and order whatever you like. Don't be shy, we're going to really rip off Qiqi today!"

Leng Yue and Leng Yu laughed at the same time, and they really didn't hold back. Leng Yu added sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet and sour pork. Leng Yue added boiled fish and stuffed tofu.

It was called a private room, but because there weren't many people, the table wasn't very big. The table could seat five or six people, and there was still room to spare.

Leng Yue and Leng Yu naturally sat together, while Geng Le wanted to sit with Qi Zhe. However, Qi Zhe went straight to sit on the other side of Leng Yue.

The group chatted about music while drinking tea. They were all clearly enjoying themselves.

Twenty minutes later, the waiter started serving the food. Just then, Li Qi arrived. "Sorry I'm late."

"Teacher Li, please sit here." Leng Yu was unexpectedly enthusiastic.

Leng Yue turned her head and glanced at Leng Yu, but didn't say anything. Li Qi paused for a few seconds, then readily walked over and sat down next to Leng Yu.

Geng Le was originally sitting two seats away from Leng Yu, so Li Qi ended up sitting between Leng Yu and Geng Le.

Geng Le: "Come on, let's raise a glass to celebrate Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu's progress and success!"

Qi Zhe: "Just to add, everyone has worked very hard during this time. Thank you all for your efforts!"

After the two bosses gave their speeches, everyone raised their glasses together.

Leng Yue, Leng Yu, and Li Qi didn't say anything, they just kept smiling happily.

The meal was a delightful one for both host and guests!

Everyone saw hope, everyone was happy! It was more like a victory celebration banquet without any real celebration.

At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone went home.

Qi Zhe, still slightly drunk, was taken back to his residence by Geng Le and Li Qi, and he was somewhat resentful.

Qi Zhe: I'm so happy to know what her favorite dishes are! I'd be even happier if she took me home!
