Guangyu Media.

Karaoke room.

Ye Xiaoman leaned back wearily in her chair, crossed her legs, and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue.

It's so hot, and I'm so tired.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his neck, and the slightly open collar of his shirt was quickly soaked with sweat.

At this moment, Ah Xing brought over two cups of iced coffee and casually handed one of them to Ye Xiaoman.

Here, cool off a bit.

The karaoke room didn't have air conditioning, because they were afraid everyone would get cold from sweating, so everyone was very hot after each rehearsal.

"Thanks."

Ye Xiaoman casually tossed the tissue into the trash can at her feet, then took the iced coffee and drank it in large gulps.

Across from Ye Xiaoman, guitarist Anna, who was touching up her makeup, closed her compact, smiled, and casually asked a question.

"By the way, when are you and Su Luo planning to get married?"

She must be hoping that Ye Xiaoman and Su Luo will get married soon, so that A Xing won't keep harboring feelings for Ye Xiaoman.

Ye Xiaoman put down her coffee. She knew Anna's thoughts all too well. This guy had been pursuing Ah Xing for five years, but he still hadn't won her over.

She always felt that Ah Xing wasn't with her because she and Su Luo weren't married yet, and she secretly caused her a lot of trouble.

If it weren't for the band's sake, she would have broken her legs and sent her back to her hometown long ago.

He said in a sarcastic tone.

"It'll be soon, why are you in such a hurry? What's yours can't be taken away by others, and what's not yours won't end well if you try to hold onto it."

Anna was hit where it hurt by Ye Xiaoman's words, and she suppressed the fire.

"I was just asking casually, what kind of attitude is this?"

Ye Xiaoman was also annoyed. She slammed her coffee on the table and said sternly.

"What was my attitude? I treat people the same way I treat them. Why should I be polite to someone like you? You know perfectly well what good things you've done."

Anna stood up abruptly and pointed at her.

"Ye Xiaoman, I've put up with you for too long, don't go too far!"

If Ah Xing wasn't around, she would tolerate Ye Xiaoman scolding her, since she was the most popular member of the band.

But Ah Xing is standing right next to me today, and it would be too shameful for me not to fight back.

Ye Xiaoman slowly rolled up her sleeves and smiled coldly.

"You dare point at me? Looks like you don't want to play guitar anymore, huh?"

If this bitch continues to be arrogant, she'll just cripple her. At worst, she can go solo and start her own business. Anyway, she's getting tired of her current job.

Anna realized that Ye Xiaoman wasn't joking and might actually make a move. Ye Xiaoman was so skilled that Anna knew she was no match for her.

He immediately backed down. So what if he lost face? It's better than losing his job and becoming disabled.

He obediently withdrew his hand and forced a fawning smile.

"Sister Xiaoman, I didn't want to argue with you. I've always considered you a good friend."

Ye Xiaoman rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and said disdainfully.

"Alright, who wants to listen to your insincere words? Shut up."

"..."

Anna pursed her lips and turned to look at the quiet Ah Xing with a wronged expression.

Ah Xing looked away helplessly.

He didn't want to meddle in other people's business. Besides, it was Anna who pursued me, and I didn't agree to date you or even touch you. Why should I stand up for you if you're wronged?

Besides, why would you provoke Ye Xiaoman for no reason? He wouldn't dare to provoke Ye Xiaoman.

Anna completely broke down and slunk out of the karaoke room.

At this moment, only Ye Xiaoman and A Xing remained in the room.

Ye Xiaoman's right eyelid suddenly started twitching, and her heart started to race.

I'm so annoyed and irritable.

Strange, is something bad about to happen?

Ye Xiaoman shook her head, forcing herself not to think too much about it. She couldn't be superstitious; a twitching right eye didn't necessarily mean bad luck was coming.

He reached for a cigarette on the table, knocked one out, put it in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, and took a light drag, hoping the nicotine would ease his troubled mood.

Seeing that Ye Xiaoman was acting strangely, Ah Xing moved a chair and sat down opposite her, offering words of comfort.

"What's wrong? You're not still angry with Anna, are you? Don't worry, she wouldn't dare do anything to you. She's afraid of you!"

Ye Xiaoman exhaled a puff of smoke and retorted, "No, I wasn't angry with her. I just suddenly felt inexplicably irritable, and I don't know why."

Ah Xing said worriedly.

"You haven't been doing well lately. Tell me the truth, what's wrong with you?"

At the concert a few days ago, Ye Xiaoman almost overslept and even sang a line of lyrics incorrectly.

She would never have made such a basic mistake before.

Ye Xiaoman lowered her eyelashes slightly, reached out and tapped the ashtray on the table, saying helplessly.

"I feel like I've lost my passion. I think I might not be able to sing anymore in the near future."

Ah Xing was startled and exclaimed excitedly.

"No way! Have you forgotten what you said when we formed the band? You said you would sing for the rest of your life, until you die. Now that we have achieved such great success, are you really willing to give it up?"

Ye Xiaoman smiled wearily and said earnestly.

“Ah Xing, you said it yourself, that was in the past. People change. I used to think I would love this stage forever, but look at our predecessors, they all retired early. How many of them can stick it out to the end?”

Ah Xing felt an indescribable sadness, and a wave of sourness welled up in her nose.

We clearly promised to sing together for a lifetime, but if we're even a second or two short, it's not a lifetime.

Why are you giving up so soon?

His dark blue eyes dimmed, and he asked in a trembling voice.

Is it because of Su Luo?

Ye Xiaoman forcefully crushed the scarlet cigarette butt into the ashtray, saying casually.

"I'm not sure either, maybe."

Without Su Luo, she wouldn't know what state she would be in now.

In short, what she wants most now is no longer to stand on the stage and enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention.

Instead, she wanted to force things between Su Luo and get married as soon as possible.

It sounds pathetic and contradicts the persona she's always cultivated, but that's the truth.

On second thought, it didn't violate my own persona.

From the heart.

Following her instincts, disregarding societal norms, and doing whatever she wanted has always been her guiding principle.

Ah Xing felt a surge of bitterness in his heart and asked in return.

Is it worth it? Is he really that good?

Ye Xiaoman chuckled, her narrow phoenix eyes curving into a beautiful arc.

"He's not that great, and there's no question of whether he's worth it or not. Anyway, I chose this path myself, and no one forced me!"

Ah Xing beckoned, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and forced a smile, half-jokingly saying.

"If you regret that day, I'll always be here for you, as long as you turn back."

Perhaps what you can't have is always the best. He had liked Ye Xiaoman for so many years, even though he knew she didn't like him, he still couldn't let go.

Ye Xiaoman said firmly.

"I will not regret it. Even if I hit a wall, I will not turn back. I will choose to smash the wall to pieces!"
