When Qin Yue returned with the unlit sparkler, she noticed that the atmosphere between the two was off.

Qi Jingchen's face was even more somber than the night.

She ignored him, handed the fireworks in her hand to Lu Yanci, and said with a smile in her voice, "I hope all your troubles can disappear with the fireworks."

Qi Jingchen stared at the two of them as if in self-torture.

Watching them laugh and talk, watching her light the fireworks for Lu Yanci, watching Lu Yanci take photos of her as she wished, capturing her happiness and joy tonight.

He lit one sparkler after another in his hand.

Countless stars are hidden in that tiny flame.

They are dazzling and radiant.

Do worries really disappear when fireworks are lit?

Why can't he feel any joy?

He sat blankly in the car, watching through the window as Qin Yue and Lu Yanci got into the same car.

The car door closed.

He could no longer see the starlight that once shone upon him.

He once said that he would not regret his choice in this regard.

But now...

He couldn't help but wonder what their relationship would have been like if he had left with her back then.

Will everyone envy him?

Does that mean that someone else is the only one who can peek at the bright moon from the shadows?

No, he would never give up so easily.

So what if I can't have it? If I can't have it, why should Lu Yanci get it so easily?

The driver in the driver's seat saw his ever-changing expression through the rearview mirror, and several times he swallowed back the words he was about to ask him if he wanted to leave.

Only after Qi Jingchen spoke did they start the car.

Outside the Qin family villa.

Lu Yanci opened the trunk.

Forever following the sun, representing life and vitality, sunflowers surround a bouquet that brings warmth.

He approached her with steady, powerful steps, his already solemn face growing even colder. The vibrant bouquet in his arms softened his hard expression, yet he still appeared aloof and distant.

The night was quiet, and even the rustling of the leaves in the wind was exceptionally clear.

My mind is in turmoil.

Thankfully, she couldn't hear his restless heartbeat.

He casually said, "Happy birthday."

She hadn't told him it was her birthday. They'd been together almost constantly since he came to pick her up, so she had no idea when he'd prepared all this.

Holding the flowers in her arms, she concealed the surprise in her eyes and gave a bright smile: "Thank you."

Several warm-colored lights were embedded in the low walls of the villa, casting long shadows on the two people, making them look like a perfectly matched couple from a distance.

The designated driver that Lu Yanci called was a young man in his twenties.

I also pay attention to some online news in my spare time.

In addition, he has a girlfriend who is a fan of celebrities, and she always talks about certain stars in front of him.

It was Wen Xu again, and it was Qin Xu again.

I also watched some TV programs with her.

He's also been following the popular dating reality shows lately.

The siblings Qin Xu and Qin Yue are so good-looking that they can be described as having divine looks.

He glanced discreetly at the two people on the roadside through the window from his driver's seat.

He hadn't looked closely along the way, but now he noticed that the girl with the high ponytail seemed to be Qin Yue.

I'm not sure, I'll think about it some more.

That's true.

He took out his phone, wanting to secretly take a picture, but then he remembered that he wasn't a passerby and was working, so he gave up the idea.

He was extremely cautious the whole way, keeping his eyes and ears open, fearing that if the luxury car were bumped or damaged, he wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it even if he went bankrupt.

The man who owns this car is clearly not someone to be trifled with, and someone living in such an upscale area is definitely not someone he can afford to offend.

If the photos are leaked, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in this industry anymore.

The more I look at them, the more well-matched they seem.

My girlfriend even asked why Qin Yue didn't get together with the movie star. Anyone who isn't mentally ill would choose this man over an actor.

Qin Yue stood by the window.

He looked at the cars outside the villa in the distance before turning his gaze away.

She looked down at the wooden jewelry box in her hand, a birthday gift from Lu Yanci. The four-leaf clover, a symbol of good luck, was the highlight of the bracelet, and the letters QY were engraved on the inside.

He said he had his assistant prepare it at the last minute.

It seems not.

Perhaps she could be bolder and guess that Lu Yanci cared about her far more than she thought?

The bracelet was put away and placed in the drawer.

She glimpsed the birthday gift Qin Xu had given her, took it out, and threw it into the bottom drawer.

She was about to unpack the flowers Lu Yanci had given her, put them in a vase, take a picture, and send it to him when her phone rang.

It's Wang You.

Someone at the company spotted Tang Gaochang, the so-called cash cow, having dinner with an agent from Huanle Company tonight.

It's highly likely that he's looking for a new job.

This morning, his agent subtly conveyed his message: he was dissatisfied with the resources the company was currently providing him, and if they wanted to keep him, they would have to upgrade his contract.

They had discussed this issue before, and it was no surprise that Tang Gaochang would seek a better opportunity elsewhere. Since he felt that this small temple couldn't accommodate such a great figure as him, then he would terminate the contract.

Qin Yue brought up Jiang Xiu again.

Jiang Xiu has reported to the company and is now undergoing systematic training with professional instructors. In the past few days, he has been posting some training videos on social media platforms as requested by his agent, Yang Tong.

Although the company's artists are not very famous, they do have some fans. Once the video was shared, it caused a small stir in the fan community.

With the company's efforts, the video went viral, and Jiang Xiu started a live stream, gaining nearly 100,000 followers overnight, with 20,000 people watching online.

The production team of "Heartbeat is Action" contacted agent Yang Tong, and they have reached an agreement with Jiang Xiu to collaborate on the background music for the new episode. The company has already signed a contract.

Qin Yue also has contact with Director Wang.

He knew about his own company.

She wasn't surprised that the production team offered to collaborate; her money wasn't wasted.

Qin Yue sat in the chair, her fingers tugging at the sunflower petals. She glanced at the clock on the wall and ended the conversation.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yue opened a video chat app. She originally wanted to search for information about Jiang Xiu, but the first thing that popped up was Qin Xu and Jiang Qingtang.

She opened the trending topics.

#Qin Xu Jiang Qingtang#

It was the number one trending topic, followed by a huge "hot" tag.

The following few posts were all trending topics related to the program "Heartbeat is Action".

It turns out that the production team played a game called "Of course" today. Two people were paired up, and no matter what the other person said, they could only say "Of course." Any other answer was considered a loss.

Qin Xu and Wen Xu faced off.

The two of them could be described as killing a thousand while losing eight hundred of their own.

Wen Xu first asked, "Is there anyone you like on the show?", then asked, "Is your favorite person surnamed Jiang?", and finally asked, "Is your sister the person you hate the most?"

Qin Xu's answer was always "Of course".
