Tian Siyin didn't sleep well all night, and kept dreaming about coming out of the press conference and hearing annoying singing coming from the opposite hall. So when she woke up in the morning, she heard the shouting and thought she was still dreaming—until she heard her roommates talking and exclaiming.
"My God, is this really sung by Lin Nian? It sounds so good! Is it real?"
"I never expected this, it's such an unexpected transformation!"
"Isn't this just like the ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan in fairy tales?"
"Lin Nian was already very beautiful, it's just that her singing and dancing were a bit lacking when she first enrolled. But it seems she's worked very hard over the past three years, otherwise how could she have changed so much?"
"I heard the boss of Tiandi Films is chasing after her, wanting to sign her. But that rich girl is just arrogant and refuses to sign no matter what. If it were me..."
Before she could finish speaking, roommate A saw that Tian Siyin had sat up at some point and was staring at the three of them with a deep gaze. The words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't continue.
"Siyin, you're awake?!" Roommate A sensed that Tian Siyin sounded a bit resentful and chuckled awkwardly, "Did we disturb you with our conversation?"
Tian Siyin tried hard to suppress her anger, forced a smile, and said, "No."
Seeing this, roommate B asked, "Siyin, is the 'Legend of Meishan' you're filming produced by Tiandi Films? Has Tiandi Films said they want to sign you?"
She meant signing a long-term contract, not just filming one series.
Tian Siyin recalled what her roommates had said earlier: Tiandi Films was actually chasing after Lin Nian to sign a contract, but as for her, with Yun Fan's connections, Tong Jialu had no intention of signing her long-term.
She was burning with jealousy inside, but she didn't show it on her face. She still tried her best to adjust her voice and said in a gentle tone, "We are discussing this matter."
Roommate B laughed and said, "I knew it! The boss of Tiandi Films and your young master Yun are childhood friends. How could they not sign you?"
Roommate A excitedly added, "I heard from the student council last night that the student council president plans to have Lin Nian sing at this year's New Year's Eve party."
Roommate C: "So, does this mean we can hear Lin Nian singing for ourselves and confirm that the song circulating online is really hers?"
Roommate B then said, "Siyin, I heard that the press conference held by the Lin family yesterday was just across the aisle from your press conference for 'The Legend of Meishan.' You must have been there too. Did you hear Lin Nian sing with your own ears? Did she really sing that song? She even sings opera! Tell us about what happened!"
"There's nothing to say." Tian Siyin's smile couldn't hold back any longer; she wanted nothing more than to throw something at her roommate B's face. But she tried her best to control herself, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Roommate A whispered, "You know she and Lin Nian have always been at odds. Lin Nian is really in the limelight now, but I heard their press conference yesterday didn't go very well. Let's not talk about Lin Nian, let's talk about something else!"
Although she considerately lowered her voice, Tian Siyin, who was hiding in the bathroom, still heard what she said and felt even more frustrated.
Before the morning exercise, Lin Nian accepted the student council president's suggestion and agreed to sing at the New Year's Eve party. After the exercise, she rested in her dormitory for fifteen minutes before going to a nice restaurant outside the school for breakfast.
As soon as they finished ordering, Chen Tianxi sat down opposite her, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He said, "Niannian, I watched the video of your press conference yesterday. I didn't expect that after all these years, you would sing so well, and you can even sing opera. The theme song for Lin's Products' advertisement really shouldn't have been sung by someone else. You should have sung it yourself. That way, maybe those posts about you not being able to sing wouldn't have come out."
Chu Nian chuckled and said, "You're really thinking too simply." Those posts were clearly someone deliberately trying to sabotage her. Chu Nian had known this for a long time, she just hadn't said anything.
Chen Tianxi hadn't even settled into her seat when Chen Tianchi walked in. His face darkened immediately upon seeing where she was sitting, and he walked over with a grim expression: "Tianxi, why are you sitting here while I was parking? Aren't there so many empty tables?"
Chen Tianxi: "I saw that Niannian was eating here, so I sat down here. Is there anything strange about that? If you don't want to sit here, then sit somewhere else!"
Chen Tianchi: "Let's go somewhere else to eat!"
Chen Tianxi: "Why?"
Chen Tianchi: "Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday? Are you trying to make things even more chaotic?"
Chen Tianxi: "I'm not the only girl who's a fan of Niannian now. Besides, you should mind your own business first, and don't spread rumors that the eldest son of the Chen family is not a good son-in-law of the Lin family, but instead wants to be someone else's mistress."
Chen Tianchi's face turned pale and then red with anger.
More classmates came to eat, and many of them glanced at this table. Some even pointed at Chu Nian and whispered and laughed.
Seeing this, Chen Tianchi whispered to Chen Tianxi, "Did you see that? Everyone's laughing at you. Hurry up, get up, let's go eat somewhere else."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the two girls who had been pointing at Chu Nian and whispering came over. One of them, blushing shyly, took out a pen and notebook and handed them to Chu Nian, saying timidly, "Senior Lin Nian, could you sign your name for us?"
The moment those words left his mouth, Chen Tianchi's lips twitched, and he didn't know where to look. Chen Tianxi looked up at him, who was standing there incredibly embarrassed, and gave him a mocking smile.
Chu Nian readily agreed, "Okay!" She took the pen and notebook from the girl, wrote the two carefree characters "Lin Nian" in the notebook, and drew a beautiful cartoon picture next to the name.
The girl took the notebook, and upon seeing the words and drawings, she couldn't help but let out an excited "Wow!" Seeing this, the girl who came with her quickly handed over her autographed notebook as well. Chu Nian also signed it and drew a cartoon.
The two girls, blushing with excitement, thanked Chu Nian and left joyfully.
Chen Tianxi deliberately kept a straight face and said in a deep voice, "Either sit down and eat, or leave. Don't just stand here like a stick!"
Chen Tianchi's face contorted with anger. He turned and left in a huff. Behind him, he heard the laughter of Chu Nian and Chen Tianxi, the two girls. Enraged, he kicked the chair next to him, making a piercing sound.
Chen Tianxi said, "This is the first time I've ever seen my brother so disheveled."
Chu Nian raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to herself: This is just the beginning!
