"Why is Wanwan still awake so late?" Mingchen's earnest voice rang out.

Qin Wan did not appear to explain the reason on the live stream chat, but Mingchen's fans could not help but tag her.

[Mingchen's little fangirl: @I am a sinner, hello Wanwan-jie.]

[Mingchen's daughter's fan: @I am a sinner, good evening, sister.]

[Mingchen's mom fans: @IamaGuilty, is Sister Wanwan still not resting?]

...

The live stream chat was filled with messages welcoming Qin Wan and greetings to her.

Qin Wan watched their performance expressionlessly, still not showing herself to reply.

Mingchen was a smart man, and he clearly sensed everything that happened at S University that evening, including the difference in Qin Wan's attitude towards him.

Mingchen knew that he couldn't rush things.

Qin Wan returned to school, and her world was no longer just about him and live streaming.

And the man who pulled Qin Wan away in the evening—he clearly had a relationship with her, and his attitude towards her was unusual.

What he needs to do now is to keep Qin Wan here, not to argue with her or get angry with her, otherwise he will only push her further away.

"Is Wanwan having trouble sleeping again?" Seeing that Qin Wan hadn't appeared on the public chat yet, Mingchen asked her again.

Qin Wan: Let's stop here.

After saying that, Qin Wan disappeared from the live stream.

Mingchen was shocked, and the live stream room instantly fell into dead silence.

On the public chat, fans were asking what happened.

After regaining his composure, Mingchen quickly reassured the fans, "It's okay. Wanwan has had some trouble in her real life these past few days, and she's not in a good mood. Don't worry, I'll be there for her through all the difficulties."

"Of course, it's the same for all of you. I've been able to get to where I am today entirely thanks to your support. To me, you are all like family."

"Although we are not related by blood, we are closer than many blood relatives."

"Thank you all so much for your support and companionship. I will always remember your kindness..."

Mingchen kept babbling on and on, putting on all sorts of sentimental scenes, but Qiao Muzhi got impatient and turned it off after a few sentences.

"Ding-dong."

A WeChat notification sound plays.

[Qiao Muzhi: Go to sleep!]

Qin Wan smiled as she read the message from Qiao Muzhi; her efforts tonight had not been in vain.

Qin Wan: Mm, asleep.

[Qiao Muzhi: ...Are you sleepwalking and replying to my message?]

The next second...

Your friend has retracted a message.

Qiao Muzhi: "..."

Ha, she thinks that withdrawing her statement will make it seem like nothing happened?

Qiao Muzhi angrily threw down her phone, grabbed a pillow from the side, covered her face, and closed her eyes to rest.

She can do whatever she wants; he's too lazy to meddle in other people's business.

Sleep or don't sleep, it's up to you!

He's not the one who won't be able to get up for class tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Qiao Muzhi turned over, forcibly banishing everything related to Qin Wan from his mind.

Qin Wan was just about to put down her phone and go to sleep when a familiar voice call came in...

Hung up!

Hit again!

Hang up again!

Hit again!

Qin Wan: "..."

"I thought I had made myself very clear," Qin Wan said in a detached tone as she answered the phone.

"Wanwan, what happened? Why did you suddenly become like this?" Mingchen's worried and concerned words came through the phone.

"Mingchen, we're both getting what we need – one of us spends money, and the other spends time and energy."

"..."

After Qin Wan said this, Ming Chen on the other end of the phone remained strangely silent for a few seconds.

It took him a long time to come to his senses, his voice filled with hurt and sadness.

"So... in your heart, our relationship is only like this?"

Hearing the accusation in Mingchen's words, Qin Wan curled her lips into a mocking smile.

"Otherwise what?"

"In your opinion, what is our relationship?" Qin Wan asked in return.

"...So it turns out, it was all just wishful thinking on my part." Mingchen gave a self-deprecating laugh, his tone unable to conceal his hurt and despair.

It must be said that Mingchen's talent in voice acting is truly remarkable.

Even though it was just a phone call, communicating through voice, his every word perfectly expressed his rich emotions and feelings.

The faint sobs, self-deprecation, and distraught state in her voice were all perfectly conveyed to Qin Wan.

"Wishful thinking?" Qin Wan repeated the adjective with a light laugh.

"I'm sleepy." Qin Wan's tone suddenly turned cold as she changed the subject.

"Wanwan..." Mingchen hesitated, the sadness in his words almost tangible, reaching them through the phone.

Qin Wan ignored him and hung up the phone, saving the recording of the call.

"Ding-dong."

A WeChat notification sound is playing...

Qin Wan glanced casually at the screen and wasn't surprised when she saw Ming Chen's name.

[Mingchen: Goodnight. You should get some rest. I'm feeling a bit conflicted right now, let me calm down first.]

Upon seeing this, Qin Wan scoffed, "A phoenix man who lives off a woman but refuses to work."

On one hand, he was a gigolo, enjoying the vast amounts of money, time, and energy that the original owner had invested, while on the other hand, he fantasized that the original owner would fawn over him and coax him, and even tried to control the original owner.

Qin Wan had a good night's sleep, unaware that the other two men were tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep because of her.

Mingchen frowned, repeatedly recalling the events of the past few days, listening to his live stream replay, and reviewing his private chat logs with Qin Wan over the past two days.

There's clearly nothing wrong...

Why did Qin Wan's attitude change so drastically?

What exactly happened?

If the problem isn't with him, then it must be with Qin Wan.

Thinking of this, Mingchen's mind flashed quickly to Qiao Muzhi's handsome face.

Could the problem lie with that man?

Thinking of this, Mingchen frowned and his face turned extremely ugly.

Qiao family villa, third floor, Qiao Muzhi's room.

With a frustrated gesture, the man ripped the pillow off his face and threw it to the ground. His deep black eyes stared intently at the dark light above him.

bother……

I drank quite a lot tonight, so why can't I fall asleep?

Especially when I think of that troublesome woman, Qin Wan...

I wonder if she's asleep?

And what exactly is the relationship between Qin Wan and that male anchor?

And Qin Wan's nickname...

I am a sinner...

Why would she choose such a nickname?

What exactly happened?

Has her severe depression improved?

Is there still a severe physical tendency?

Thinking of this, Qiao Muzhi irritably pulled at his hair, his face full of frustration.

"ah!!!"

"So annoying!"

Why is it so hard to get some sleep?

That woman Qin Wan is really relentless!

He even offered her drinks; he'd been taking good care of her these past few days.

Why won't she let him go?

So annoying!!!

Qiao Muzhi got up, picked up his phone in frustration, and dialed a number...

"Hello?"

"Young Master Qiao?"

"Is it something important that you're calling so late?"

The person on the other end of the phone was half asleep, but their attitude was still extremely respectful.

"I'm asking you, how much do you know about Qin Wan?" Qiao Muzhi asked in a deep voice.
