"Wan'er, are you so excited to see me? Don't worry, I've been waiting for you."
With a smug smile on his face, Qian Jun blocked Xiang Wan in the aisle.
Xiang Wan's lips twitched. She thought this person had changed, but she didn't expect him to still be so annoying.
"I already understand the songs you sang, so I still think it's better to say it face to face."
Qian Jun suddenly looked embarrassed and scratched his head awkwardly, like a large canine.
Xiang Wan was completely bewildered. What exactly did he understand? She didn't understand at all. It felt like his words were from a different galaxy, leaving her utterly confused.
"My family has agreed, and we can get married after we graduate. So..."
"Wait a minute, are you misunderstanding something? When did I say I wanted to marry you?" Xiang Wan was so angry she was confused. Was that the point?
"Wait, wait, what song did I sing, and what did you interpret? In your words, it sounds like we're together, but I don't know anything about that."
Xiang Wan blurted out all her questions in one breath. Qian Jun didn't answer. Instead, he walked over, grabbed Xiang Wan's wrist, looked at her intently, and said, "We're already boyfriend and girlfriend. Don't say hurtful things like that. It will make me sad."
"Wait a minute, when did we become boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"You never ranked first in exams so that I would pursue you. At first, I thought it was because you didn't want to, but then I realized that girls should always be a little reserved, and I'm a boy, so I should take the initiative."
For the past two years, I've been quietly supporting you from behind the scenes, and I already know all the songs you sing. Since you're too shy to ask, I had to take the initiative.
Wan'er, I'm serious. We'll get married right after graduation. I won't keep you waiting any longer.
"Wait a minute, I think you might have misunderstood. If my singing makes you think too much, can't I just not sing it again?"
"Do as you please. If you want to be a full-time housewife after graduation, that's fine, I'll support you!"
So Xiang Wan still couldn't figure out the problem; this stubborn person was simply not on the same wavelength as her. It seemed she needed to find an opportunity to lay the topic out completely, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bring him to his senses.
"I know a coffee shop nearby that's not crowded and has good drinks. Let's go there and chat about life."
"Okay, it's our first date, I'll pay!"
Qian Jun looked solemn. Xiang Wan was too exhausted to explain anymore. What kind of family could raise such a domineering and narcissistic person?
After they were seated, Qian Jun, under the watchful eye of the waiter, calmly ordered two of the most expensive coffees, then quietly looked at Xiang Wan without saying a word.
Knowing a little about his academic excellence, Xiang Wan knew that if she didn't speak up, she might sit there all night, which would be exhausting. Deciding to get to the point quickly, Xiang Wan said, "Qian Jun, we're just classmates. You've completely misunderstood our relationship. We're not even friends, let alone boyfriend and girlfriend."
"So, we have to start from scratch?" Qian Jun frowned. "That's not good, it's too slow."
Xiang Wan took a few deep breaths to avoid getting angry and hurting herself: "Do you know what a boyfriend and girlfriend are? First, two people have to be very familiar with each other, then both like each other, and after experiencing things that boys and girls do together, their feelings heat up to a certain point before they become lovers. After becoming lovers, if they find that their temperaments and personalities are very compatible, and they want to be together in the future, they will get married."
So here's the question: Do we know each other well? Do we like each other? You're jumping straight to the last step, wanting to get married. Do you even know what I like, what I don't like, or what I want to do in the future?
Qian Jun, don't make jokes like that again. We're not a good match; it's better if we just stay classmates.
“I understand you.” The moment Qian Jun said this, Xiang Wan nearly spat out her coffee. “I know you like singing, and you like me. You don’t like Li Ying and Zhou Ziqi, so we’ll take care of them together. Whatever you want to do, I’ll be there for you. So, your ‘good intentions’ won’t be in vain, and we won’t have a tragic ending like ‘White Fox’…”
"Excuse me, how did you figure out I like you?"
"I didn't understand the song 'My Deskmate' at the time, but after thinking about it, I realized that if you become someone else's bride, I will be very sad."
What's going on between Li Ying and Zhou Ziqi?
"If you want to take them down, I'll help you. The online trolls and promoters behind the scenes are all our own people, and they'll be yours in the future. Don't worry about Erbao; he won't help you investigate."
What's the story behind the song "Bitter Heart"?
"How could your song fall into the hands of someone like her?"
So, despite all she thought she had done, Xiang Wan was still surprised to find someone helping her behind the scenes. Thinking about this, she was furious. Why hadn't the system reminded her? Now she owed Qian Jun such a huge favor—how was she ever going to repay it?
"Host, it's not that this system doesn't want to tell you, but how can this system have the time to care about things that are unrelated to the main plot? You want me to keep an eye on those two people and also pay attention to other things? You think too highly of this system."
Xiang Wan couldn't accept 007's flimsy excuse, but she had no choice. She was the one who was supposed to complete the task; with the system as a cheat, making any further demands would be greedy. She understood the principle of knowing when to stop. After appeasing 007, she started to worry about how to repay the favor—it was truly a difficult situation.
"Qian Jun, thank you for your help. I don't have any other skills, but I can sign with your Qian's Entertainment and sing to repay your favor."
Seeing Xiang Wan's serious expression, Qian Jun suddenly sighed and said, "I thought this would keep you by my side. Well, it'll make you stay willingly eventually."
Qian Jun's inexplicably clever words felt strangely familiar to Xiang Wan, but she didn't think about them too deeply.
In this life, Xiang Wan became a huge star, leaving behind many popular songs in this world. The two people the original owner wanted to take revenge on, unable to bear the torment of their bodies and illnesses, drowned in a pond one early morning. Er Bao, finding it unlucky, didn't even let anyone retrieve their remains, simply filling the pond in. Later, he was also exposed for his illegal activities, his crimes were exposed, and he was arrested and imprisoned.
The original owner's parents were wealthy and didn't try to take advantage of her becoming a star. Instead, her so-called siblings started claiming kinship with her. Unable to bear it any longer, Xiang Wan moved abroad. Alone, she could live anywhere, but Qian Jun was always by her side. She never married, and Qian Jun stayed with her for life. Qian's Entertainment couldn't be without an heir, so her parents had no choice but to use a surrogate mother, finally ensuring Qian Jun had an heir.
On her deathbed, Xiang Wan asked Qian Jun why he couldn't live without her. Qian Jun smiled, and his answer sent chills down Xiang Wan's spine.
He said, "Your soul always feels very familiar!"
