In the end, Lin Wanwan couldn't refuse and had to agree to go shopping for clothes with Guo Jiahe in the afternoon.
At lunchtime, Gu Yan and his three brothers arrived as scheduled and sat down next to Li Peiyu, carrying their trays.
Gu Yan leaned close to Li Peiyu's ear and whispered, "I've been a bit busy these past few days, so I might not be able to take care of you."
"Hmm," Li Peiyu thought to herself with delight, finally she could be free for a while.
"What's Brother Gu busy with?" Guo Jiahe asked curiously.
“My dad had a fit of madness in the middle of the night and called the head of the bioengineering department, saying he wanted to invest in experiments. Now that the money is in, he’s abandoned all responsibility and is forcing me to take over the project.”
Li Peiyu felt extremely guilty. Her father had a crazy urge to see her and spent 1.8 billion yuan, but after seeing her note, he didn't want to see her anymore and stopped caring about the experimental project.
Tian Yuan said seriously, "Your dad is clearly giving you a chance to grow. His fatherly love is profound. How can you say he's just having a fit in the middle of the night?"
"I've missed Uncle Lu a lot since I last saw him." Guo Jiahe gushed, her face showing an infatuated expression.
“Now, Gu Ge and I are both busy with our careers.” Guo Jiahe raised her chin, looking proud.
Gu Yan asked with some doubt, "What business are you busy with?"
Then Guo Jiahe took out his phone, opened a Douyin QR code, and said, "Add me, I'm doing a live stream. If you have money, support me financially; if you don't, just show your support."
"Really?" Song Yang and the others asked in unison, their expressions of surprise clearly visible.
"Yes, really, an entertainment streamer, just getting started." With Li Peiyu's support, Guo Jiahe no longer hid her streaming plans and openly promoted herself everywhere.
"Okay, okay, okay. We brothers will definitely support you," Song Yang and the others said in unison.
"Brother Gu, you should push me to your dad. Your dad is so rich. If he becomes my top supporter, I'll be set for life!" Guo Jiahe said to Gu Yan with a fawning expression, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Don't even think about messing with my dad." Gu Yan frowned and replied with a serious expression.
"What's wrong? What if your dad just happens to like my type?" Guo Jiahe said, still unwilling to give up, with a hint of confidence.
"Like you? Like that your mouth is bigger than my great-uncle's foot?" Gu Yan curled his lips and said with a hint of sarcasm.
"You...you, you've really hurt my pride." Guo Jiahe's eyes widened, her voice rising slightly with a hint of grievance.
Just then, Lin Wanwan's phone suddenly rang with a crisp ringtone.
Lin Wanwan quickly answered the phone and said, "No need, really no need. Okay, then let's meet at the school gate in half an hour."
"Who are we meeting?" they all asked in unison.
“Yesterday, when Tian Yuan and I went to the bookstore, we ran into a guy who had lost his phone. I helped him find it, and he insisted on thanking me,” Lin Wanwan explained patiently.
Suddenly, Li Peiyu remembered the plot and wondered to herself, "Could this guy be the second male lead from the original book? The one who competed with Gu Yan for Lin Wanwan but ultimately lost, Jiang Shuchen, who later became a big star after losing Lin Wanwan?"
So Li Peiyu decisively said, "I'll go with you." After all, how could she not go and see the future top star?
“I’m going too, he’s quite handsome,” Tian Yuan added. “He said yesterday he’s a music student, his name is… Jiang… what was it again?”
Lin Wanwan softly uttered three words: "Jiang Shuchen".
“Yes.” Tian Yuan nodded.
Li Peiyu slammed his hand on the table, his heart filled with excitement. It really was the second male lead, the future superstar! If he could establish a relationship with this future superstar in advance and become sworn brothers, would he have to worry about not having a good life in the future?
Looking at Li Peiyu's expression, Gu Yan asked in confusion, "Li Peiyu, why are you so agitated?"
Li Peiyu snapped out of her daze, concealing her excitement, and explained with a smile, "Ah, he's from the music academy. Maybe he'll become a big star someday. It's really interesting to think about."
"Look at you, so silly," Gu Yan said with a smile. "Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll take you to meet a real star."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Li Peiyu immediately became excited, her eyes lighting up.
"Yes, would I lie to you?" Gu Yan replied confidently.
"Brother Gu, please take us with you, okay?" Guo Jiahe blinked her eyes and shook Gu Yan's arm coquettishly.
"There might be a chance," Gu Yan said indifferently.
"Then I'll meet this second male lead with Lin Wanwan first. Second, a boy." Li Peiyu immediately realized she had misspoke as soon as she said "second male lead," and quickly corrected herself, a hint of embarrassment on her face.
"Sister Yu, why are you still stuck?" Song Yang couldn't help but tease, his face full of playful expression.
Li Peiyu playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Let's go, Lin Wanwan, don't keep them waiting." Li Peiyu said, grabbing Lin Wanwan's arm impatiently, eager to go and see the excitement.
Seeing Li Peiyu's enthusiasm and initiative, Gu Yan felt quite strange. After thinking for a moment, he followed her.
A short while later, they met Jiang Shuchen at the school gate.
Jiang Shuchen stood there, like the warm sunshine of spring. Her short, neat hair swayed gently in the breeze.
He was slightly shorter than Gu Yan, dressed in simple and comfortable casual clothes, exuding the charm of a boy next door.
From Jiang Shuchen's perspective, Lin Wanwan was walking in front, followed by three girls, and then four boys. Was she there to beat him up?
Jiang Shuchen trembled all over and greeted with difficulty, "Hello, Wanwanwan classmate."
Lin Wanwan responded somewhat shyly, "Hello."
Jiang Shuchen breathed a sigh of relief when he realized they weren't there to beat him up.
Jiang Shuchen held an adorable Stitch doll in her hands and said sincerely, "This doll is for you. Thank you so much for helping me find my phone."
When Jiang Shuchen talks to people, he often blushes slightly, and his eyes reveal a hint of shyness and unease. His voice is also soft, with a touch of gentleness and restraint, making people want to get close to him and protect him.
"This, really, it's no need. It's really just a small favor." Lin Wanwan was a little embarrassed, looking at the Stitch doll that Jiang Shuchen was holding, and had no intention of taking it.
Li Peiyu snatched it away. "She doesn't want it, can you give it to me? I've loved Stitch since I was a kid." Li Peiyu was thinking to herself that once Jiang Shuchen became famous, this doll could sell for a lot of money.
Jiang Shuchen glanced at Lin Wanwan, who nodded slightly in acquiescence.
Jiang Shuchen scratched the back of his head and said in a gentle, persuasive tone, "Alright, you can have it."
