Lanting Apartment, H City.

Shi Miao sat in a chair, legs crossed, playing a game.

Just then, my phone chimed, and a WeChat message popped up on the screen.

She ignored it and continued controlling the character in the game.

To everyone's surprise, the sound wouldn't stop; a message would pop up every two or three seconds.

A hint of annoyance appeared on Shi Miao's face as she exited the game and switched to WeChat.

She was then added to a WeChat group called "A Loving Family" by Xie Sizhou.

Xie Sizhou: [Welcome, sister-in-law! #Fireworks#]

Ye Chuan: [No, you can't even stop making noise in the middle of the night.]

Qin Xiao: [...]

Xie Sizhou: [What are my sister-in-law and Brother Chen doing? Why aren't they saying anything? @喵喵喵@季晏琛]

Ye Chuan: [What else can you be doing this late at night instead of sleeping?]

Shi Miao's lips twitched almost imperceptibly as she tapped her phone screen, the screen glowing softly.

[Playing video games.]

Xie Sizhou: [Hey, take me with you!]

Shi Miao lazily stretched out her legs, shifted to a more comfortable sitting position, and directly sent a team-up link in the group chat.

Within minutes, three people entered the game room.

Qin Xiao turned on his microphone first: "Shi Xiaomiao, watch my gameplay today, I'm feeling really good right now."

Xie Sizhou: "Sister-in-law, you can just play support and follow us."

Ye Chuan: "No, Lao Xie, do you have some misunderstanding about her abilities?"

Xie Sizhou: "What's wrong? Is your sister-in-law very strong?"

Ye Chuan: "You should just stick to playing support."

Xie Sizhou: "......"

In a short time, under the leadership of Shi Miao and Qin Xiao, the opposing team surrendered within 10 minutes.

Looking at the score on the game results page, Xie Sizhou exclaimed, "Holy crap, sister-in-law, your jungling is just too damn amazing!"

Ye Chuan: "I told you to play support, right?"

Qin Xiao: "Wait, why isn't anyone praising my marksman role? I single-handedly tanked the pressure and dominated the entire lane. You, playing support, have been smurfing over Shi Xiaomiao the whole game."

Xie Sizhou coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "I'll definitely help you next time."

Shi Miao glanced at the time on her phone, yawned, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Going to sleep."

Qin Xiao: "Damn, it's only this late and you're already asleep."

Xie Sizhou: "Yeah, sister-in-law, let's play a few more rounds!"

Shi Miao clicked her tongue and said lazily, "I have class tomorrow."

Qin Xiao: "Alright, alright, goodnight."

Xie Sizhou: "Let's fight again tomorrow, sister-in-law."

Shi Miao gave a faint "hmm" and then exited the game.

The next day, at Beijing No. 1 High School.

"Mingyue, the new song MV is going to be released at 12 noon. Did you take the day off yesterday to film it?" Cheng Yi put down her schoolbag and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Qin Mingyue paused as she took out her phone, suppressing her impatience, and said calmly, "No, the MV has been changed."

Cheng Yi was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this and then said, "How could that be? Didn't your uncle arrange everything?"

"It's raining at night now."

Cheng Yi's eyes widened involuntarily, filled with astonishment. She hesitated and said, "You're not talking about the mysterious arranger Ye Yu behind Han Yan, are you?!"

Qin Mingyue lowered her eyelashes with disdain, scrolled through her phone screen, and responded softly, "Mm."

"Oh my god, I always thought that Night Rain was a man. But why did Night Rain suddenly start making music videos?"

Qin Mingyue said coldly, "Who knows?"

"Mingyue, you're too calm. I remember you quite liked Yeyu."

"What's there to get excited about? I just think her arrangement is pretty good. Who knows if she can write even better music after half a year?"

In the past, Qin Mingyue might have been very interested in Ye Yu, but now that she knows Ye Yu stole her leading lady position, she instantly lost interest.

Seeing this, Cheng Yi pursed her lips, silently turned around, opened her phone, and started browsing Weibo.

H City No.1 Middle School

Hu Tiantian took her phone and sat down in Ji Sinian's seat, handing a lollipop to the girl next to her.

"Sister Miao, the music video will be released in two minutes! I'm so excited to know you're the female lead!"

"I didn't show my face." Shi Miao reached out, took it, peeled it open, and put it in her mouth.

Hu Tiantian rested her arms on the table, cupped her face in her hands, and said with a grin, "Your aura and your back view alone are enough to kill everything, okay?"

"Did you climb over the wall?" Ji Sinian tossed his water bottle back and forth as he walked over unhurriedly.

"Sister Miao is my goddess, and Han Yan is my idol, there's no conflict between them." Hu Tiantian glanced at her phone and exclaimed, "It's time!"

Ji Sinian raised an eyebrow, pulled over Lu Hansheng's chair and sat down, urging, "Quick, quick, I want to see too."

"Mmm." Hu Tiantian nodded, swiping her finger across the phone screen to refresh Han Yan's Weibo page.

The latest Weibo post is the new song's music video, released just at 12 PM, with the caption: "[Thanks to my arranger, Ye Yu, for starring as the female lead in the music video.]"

"No, am I seeing things?" Hu Tiantian turned to look at the girl next to her who was looking down at her phone, swallowed hard, and said, "Sister Miao, are you the Night Rain God?"

Shi Miao raised her eyes slightly, which had been half-closed in a lazy manner, and said casually, "It's me."

"Holy crap, awesome, my sister." Ji Sinian's eyes were filled with shock as he gave her a thumbs up.

"Ahhh! Oh my god! I never thought the master was right next to me! Sister Miao, you're amazing!" Hu Tiantian recovered from her shock, her eyes filled with undisguised excitement, and she hugged Shi Miao's arm tightly.

Shi Miao raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, reached out and pinched her chubby little face, and smiled faintly, "Feels nice."

"Sister Miao..." Hu Tiantian's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked at her with bright eyes.

Ji Sinian got goosebumps and complained, "Holy crap, what are you guys doing? It's so gay. Sister Miao, why don't you even spare the girls?"

At this moment, Lu Hansheng walked in from the back door, looked up at the boy sitting in his seat, and said in a calm voice, "Get up."

Upon hearing this, Ji Sinian raised his head slightly, pursed his lips, and said, "What, can't I sit down for a bit?"

Lu Hansheng frowned. "Then where should I sit?"

Ji Sinian patted his thigh, blinked his captivating peach blossom eyes, and looked at him with a half-smile, "Sit on my lap."

Seeing this, Hu Tiantian let go of Shi Miao's hand and stood up abruptly. "Um, I'll go back to my seat."

Ji Sinian: "Don't you want your phone anymore?"

"Ah, right. My phone." Hu Tiantian turned back after taking a few steps.

Ji Sinian stood up, a faint smile playing on his lips, and gestured for him to sit down, "Please sit, young master."

Lu Hansheng pursed his lips and sat down without saying a word.

Ji Sinian sat back in his chair, crossed his legs, and casually rested his hands on his hips. Suddenly, he asked, "Why are your ears red?"

Lu Hansheng paused in his movements and said coldly, "It's hot."

"It's not hot today?"

Lu Hansheng's eyes flickered slightly, but she ignored him, lowered her eyes, and began to look through the book in her hands.
