I woke up to find I had gotten my marriage certificate with a female celebrity.

Qin Yi rushed to the door in an instant. Seeing that the elevator was stuck on the 29th floor, he simply took the emergency exit and ran downstairs.

He really didn't understand what Chen Qianyu had done wrong.

She was bullied at school, she was bullied at work, and now even her only family member is no longer by her side.

Initially, Chen Qianyu was insecure and withdrawn, even to the point of depression.

Qin Yi still remembers the way she looked when she came out of the women's restroom that day.

His messy hair was tangled with glue, his face was covered in colorful chalk dust, and his white schoolbag was covered with muddy gray footprints.

She was bullied at school and didn't dare to say a word in protest. When she saw him, she just smiled and said, "It's okay...it's okay."

Even after she ran away, the group of girls still wouldn't let her go.

They would either pull her hair or attack her with all sorts of foul language.

Qin Yi was furious and itched with rage. He rushed to the center and beat each of the girls who were bullying him until they were unable to move.

That was Qin Yi's first time fighting. Although he was severely punished afterward, he didn't feel he had done anything wrong. He just felt extremely satisfied after the fight.

Later, Qin Yi carefully stayed by her side to protect her, and he personally witnessed Chen Qianyu gradually transform from being withdrawn to being cheerful.

Whenever Chen Qianyu suffers injustice, he can't help but think of the scene at that time.

It was precisely because I understood her personality that I tried every means to help her stand up for herself.

Gradually, this behavior became a habit.

Upon hearing Chen Qianyou's words, he rushed to Chen Qianyu's side without stopping.

On the way, they kept urging the driver to go faster.

Qin Yi hurriedly boarded the high-speed train, intending to make a phone call to inquire, only to discover that his phone only had 8% battery left.

This trip will take at least an hour and a half, and if the device stays on, the battery will definitely run out.

Fortunately, I learned the hotel's location while chatting with Chen Qianyu last night, otherwise it would be quite troublesome now.

After shutting down the computer, Qin Yi felt extremely uneasy.

Due to the boy's sudden rise to fame, countless media outlets are now watching him closely.

The rivalry has also extended from within the industry to other artists.

He was afraid that Chen Qianyu would be upset and become flustered on set. If this were filmed, there would definitely be a lot of negative press about her later.

For example, deliberately acting like a diva on set.

After arriving at the station.

He bought a face mask on the way, then took a taxi straight to the hotel. By the time he arrived at the hotel, it was already past ten o'clock.

I rang the doorbell, but there was no response. I thought to myself that she was indeed not home, but where could she have gone so late at night?

Qin Yi suddenly thought of something, so he opened the map and saw a small river nearby.

In the past, when Chen Qianyu was upset, she liked to sit blankly by the river, and she probably still does now.

As Qin Yi left the hotel, he first made a phone call, but when the dial tone went off and no one answered, his mood immediately sank.

He walked to the riverbank and, sure enough, saw a figure sitting on a stone chair.

Just then, the phone rang. Chen Qianyu's voice was still playful, but you could still hear the weariness in her tone.

"Honey, why did you suddenly call me?"

"I was busy and didn't hear you."

Seeing her sitting alone with her head drooping, Qin Yi immediately spoke up.

"That bastard Chen Qianyou came to see me."

"Don't worry about what he said. Just focus on what you're doing now, and think about your fans and the people who support you."

Chen Qianyu forced a smile and asked, "Does that include you?"

Qin Yi immediately replied, "Of course it includes me, otherwise, look behind you who's standing there?"

Behind you?

Chen Qianyu turned around abruptly, and when she saw the face she had been longing for, she slammed her phone to the ground.

"It's strange that I'm here."

"I got angry with your brother, so I came over."

Qin Yi walked over to her and sat down quietly.

Chen Qianyu looked at the distance between the two of them. She wanted to get closer, but she didn't dare to approach.

If someone nearby captured this scene, this distance would provide just enough room for interpretation.

Her body tensed up involuntarily, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes tightly.

Chen Qianyou's words echoed in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel conflicted.

Are you truly happy being a singer and entertainer?

"I don't want to see you living a life of constant caution; it's too exhausting."

If it had been a few weeks ago, she probably would have given up.

But now she has a new goal, and for the first time in her life she has such a strong desire to accomplish something.

She didn't want to give up so easily, so she asked.

"What...what's wrong with you?"

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Yi's voice came first, and she was unaware that the distance between the two of them had quietly closed.

"Just do it if you want to, and don't forget those who support you and have expectations for you."

"Giving up is easy, but people always have to live for something."

"Perhaps it's a dream, perhaps it's dissatisfaction, or perhaps it's some kind of obsession."

"But whatever choice you make, I will support you."

Qin Yi spoke softly, and his words gave Chen Qianyu exactly what she lacked most.

Courage has been lacking for far too long.

"It's for you."

At that moment, she broke through all her previous timidity and hesitation.

Her gaze fell directly into Qin Yi's eyes, and even though her voice trembled slightly, she mustered up her courage for the first time.

"Qin Yi, I like you."

Chen Qianyu's sudden answer caught him off guard.

Qin Yi turned his head and saw a resolute look on her face that he had never seen before.

The six simple words simultaneously stirred up waves in each other's hearts.

These six words also made Qin Yi re-examine his own heart for the first time.

Yes, that's why I'm so insistent on helping her.

Why don't I want to see her being bullied?

Is it simply because we've known each other since childhood, or...?

A breeze blew from the river, ruffling the stray hairs on her forehead.

The two locked eyes, and the sound of flowing water suddenly became very clear in their ears.

He looked at the girl in front of him, whose eyes were resolute and whose cheeks were slightly flushed.

Qin Yi got the answer he wanted.

"Qianyu, I like you too."

The sudden happiness left her somewhat bewildered, and her first reaction was even her habitual inferiority complex and self-doubt.

"Do you...do you really like me, or are you just worried about me and pity me...?"

Chen Qianyu lowered her head slightly, her eyes beginning to dart away.

Qin Yi was eager to prove himself, but didn't know how to start.

"Could you take me back to my hotel?"

Seeing Chen Qianyu walk ahead first, Qin Yi could only quietly follow behind.

Previously, it was always Chen Qianyu following behind him, but now the situation is completely reversed.

I never expected that this would be the only reaction to my first confession of love in my life.

After escorting Chen Qianyu back to her room, Qin Yi turned to leave.

But unexpectedly, in the next moment...

He was suddenly pulled into the house, and as soon as he heard the door slam shut, Chen Qianyu rushed over to him.

How are you going to prove you like me?

Qin Yi thought to himself, "I've come all this way to find you, isn't that proof enough?"

He saw Chen Qianyu's lips suddenly tremble, and on a whim, he immediately went to meet her.

"Well……"

Chen Qianyu felt the warmth on her lips, and her whole body stiffened, unable to move.

This was Qin Yi's first kiss, and also Chen Qianyu's first kiss.

Her mind went blank, but the sound of her heartbeat was crystal clear in her ears.

Ten seconds

Thirty seconds.

Qin Yi reluctantly moved away, only to see Chen Qianyu's eyes suddenly redden.

He thought it was his rash actions that had angered her.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qianyu suddenly hugged him and whispered in his ear in a very soft voice.

"One more time... please?"

Qin Yi, in a moment of passion, kissed her again. After their lingering embrace, he heard Chen Qianyu speak once more.

"One more time..."

"I want more..."

"I want more..."

"Honey, I want more..."

A dozen minutes later, the two of them were panting heavily as they stared at each other. Hearing that Chen Qianyu was still not satisfied, Qin Yi immediately tapped her forehead with his hand.

"If you keep kissing me, my lips will peel off."

Chen Qianyu hugged him tightly, burying her head in Qin Yi's chest, not daring to look up at all.

"Honey, I love you too."

"Please don't leave tonight, okay? You... you can do whatever you want..."
