After their confessions were rejected, they regretted it for the rest of their lives.

Chapter 104 I Was Here First... (3,000 words)

Regarding love—

Xia Weichan had long since passed the stage of being controlled by hormones; freedom was more important to him.

Accustomed to a self-centered life, Xia Weichan finds it hard to imagine—marriage? Or being in a passionate relationship.

That feeling of always having someone else around, or the cramped feeling of having someone to sleep with when you're usually lying in a big bed.

Even in the second cycle, when they were closest to living together, Ke Yuexuan never went so far as to stay overnight at his house or completely interfere in his life.

I usually cook breakfast at Xia Weichan's house in the morning and then go to the film studio to start my day's work.

That's all.

The phrase "cohabitation between a man and a woman" implies that the relationship between the two people goes beyond just a spiritual one.

Over time, it's impossible for anyone not to make mistakes.

"Cohabitation" is a trial card for a marital relationship.

The current Xia Weichan definitely wouldn't want to experience that.

In his first three playthroughs, his expectations for his character's romantic relationship were too high—

Because the feelings of the person you've been pursuing have reached a very high level, each failed confession feels like being slashed three times in a row by Xia Weichan.

Until the last playthrough, when her last bit of romantic infatuation had completely disappeared, in the third playthrough, when Kurimaki Tsuruo, with a love rating of 120, was confessed to and then chose to run away, her behavior drove Natsumi to the brink of collapse.

Even though the girl's behavior afterwards proved that she really liked him, why did this weirdo feel that she didn't deserve to accept him?!

And this week's episode—

Xia Weichan looked at Zhou Juzi, who was eating breakfast next to her. The girl was quietly stuffing food into her mouth without saying a word.

He was much calmer than before, but this was the same guy who had just forcibly kissed him and said he wanted to marry him.

This time around, I'm actually fixated on the person I'm dating, and my expectations for Xia Weichan's romance are too high.

The fact that he showed a level of affection of over 90% to others during their time together still catches Xia Weichan somewhat off guard.

Perhaps he really should consider how to handle the girl's feelings after the training is over.

Just then, his phone suddenly beeped with a message notification; it was from Zhu Xuening.

Mr. Xia, Ke Yuexuan contacted me today, wanting to ask about your brother. Are you interested in asking her?

"?"

Xia Weichan was taken aback, withdrawing his thoughts from Zhou Juzi. He didn't say anything more, only replying with:

【No.】

He didn't mean to talk to you about these things.

Zhu Xuening shook her head, looking at Ke Yuexuan in front of her, the cat-demon girl who appeared snow-white and hazy in the rain, and prepared to turn and leave: "I'm leaving."

"Why don't you take shelter from the rain here?"

Ke Yuexuan looked at Zhu Xuening's somewhat frail body, but noticed that she was coughing less frequently.

"No."

"You're not going back to the Taoist temple, are you?"

"No, I should...have some things to do."

Zhu Xuening shook her head, opened her umbrella, and rested her fingertips on her chin.

Her thoughts weren't on Ke Yuexuan right now, but rather on the details from Xia Weichan's house.

And the girl who was mean to her this morning...

Zhu Xuening needs to find a way to get revenge.

It wasn't about being jealous; she didn't actually feel that way. It was just that she didn't like how the other person was using her "girlfriend" status to squeeze next to Mr. Xia.

The troubles caused to his benefactor...

Zhu Xuening pondered for a moment, a sly smile appearing on her face. Clearly, there was no trace of other girls living in Mr. Xia's home.

He doesn't seem like the type to leave other girls at home.

The rain continued to patter on the park's pavilion. Zuo Jinhangyu took out her phone, ignoring the message Miss Ke had sent her, and swiped a few times instead.

He handed it to Tsuruo Kurimaki, who was standing next to him.

"You seem to have disappeared for a while now, and your fans miss you very much."

The impact of a rising idol suddenly disappearing from the public eye in a single day is unimaginable. Even after more than ten days, the name "Kurimaki Tsuruo" is still trending on social media.

Her disappearance has become a hot topic of conversation within the industry, with countless speculations and gossip complicating the matter. However, this is of no concern to Kurimaki Tsuruo, after all, being an idol on the public stage—

She wasn't interested; she only chose the path of an idol singer because of Xia Weiyu.

He remembered Xia Weiyu once saying that he was like a sparrow—

But Kurimaki Tsuruo didn't like noisy sparrows, nor did she like chirping sparrows huddled together.

Her personality is more like that of a tabby cat; she prefers solitude and appears listless and indifferent on stage, as if she's forced to perform.

He kept his distance from everyone except Xia Weiyu.

"It doesn't matter anymore—"

Kurizuki Tsuruo stared blankly at the rain, her eyes devoid of joy or sorrow. She slapped away Zuoqiu Hangyu's hand, a gesture most often made towards strangers—a gesture of rejection.

Zuoqiu Hangyu's attempt to pique the other person's interest ended in failure. After a moment of silence, the petite girl in the trench coat seemed to have finished her internal struggle. She asked Kurijuu Tsuruo, "I have a question for you. Have you seen Xia Weiyu's body?"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Kurimaki Tsuruo paused, a slight change appearing on her previously indifferent expression—

It was anger; in her eyes, the other person was deliberately stabbing her wound with a knife.

With a slight bite of her lip, Tsuruo Kurimaki stared at the other person with a gloomy gaze, and said, word by word, "What... do you want to say?"

"It's not certain whether Xia Weiyu is dead or not."

A distant rumble of thunder added a touch of suspense and unease to the atmosphere. Kurimaki Tsuruo's expression froze; she remained silent for a long time before finally speaking coldly, "Does repeatedly crossing my bottom line make you happy?"

"No, I'm not that kind of bad person."

Zuoqiu Hangyu looked into Kurimaki Tsuru's brown eyes. Just now, she saw a glimmer of light flash within them, a kind of anxious expectation.

"Xia Weichan should be well aware of this—"

This was the last clue Zuoqiu Hangyu could give this woman. After all, if her reasoning was correct, then Xia Weichan would also be someone she liked.

To say such things to Kurimaki Tsuruo would be to aid the enemy—

This allows potential rivals to get ahead of the game.

Only a fool would do that. Zuoqiu Hangyu looked at Kurimaki Tsuruo with a feeling of pity that made her laugh at herself.

She sighed and stood up, biting her thin lips tightly. A pang of sorrow welled up inside her. If Xia Weichan really was Lu Ye, then after her, he had found several other girls—

There's even a current girlfriend I'm dating now—

Thinking of this, Zuoqiu Hangyu felt a chill in his hands and feet, and his sympathy for Kurijuu Tsuru gradually turned into a disgust for those who came after him.

Because of this, the girl had deliberately investigated and found that Lu Ye had no prior inheritance or other connections that could be traced back to her, indicating that she was the first—

However, Zuoqiu Hangyu wasn't in a position to use terms like "mistress" or "vixen." Her relationship with Lu Ye wasn't that of a real couple.

"I knew him first—"

A strong sense of frustration welled up inside me.

The cold wind blew into her eyes, making them feel a little sore.

My emotions started churning violently again.

She tossed her hair.

Zuoqiu Hangyu pursed her lips tightly, opened her umbrella, and slowly walked into the rain, leaving the place.

After breakfast, Xia Weichan originally planned to go to the artist's company, since only Zhou Juzi was on vacation, and there were still some complicated procedures to go through in the single production. However, she did not go in the end because Le Yi told her that it was perfectly fine to stay at home, and she could take care of everything if he was at the company.

Zhou Juzi, like a housewife, cleaned up the dishes and tidied up some parts of Xia Weichan's house. The room had already been tidied up, so it wasn't a big deal.

Because she didn't have any clothes that fit, and because of the weather, her original clothes weren't dry either.

So the girl walked around wearing Xia Weichan's white shirt, the loose hem of which was enough to cover the top of her thighs.

Her fair and fleshy thighs were exposed, all the way to her slender ankles, revealing the full curves of her long legs.

In this extremely safe environment, the girl was completely unprepared.

While tidying up, Zhou Juzi toured Xia Weichan's entire house with great interest.

I memorized every single place completely.

Even though the rain outside the window was still heavy, it brought the girl a warm feeling of being at home with someone she liked.

Zhou Juzi Tao gazed quietly at the hazy view outside the window.

I prayed that the rain wouldn't stop too quickly, that it would at least last until evening, so I would have a reason to stay another night.

If Xia Weichan stays overnight too often, she might get used to it eventually.

Having already expressed her feelings to him, Zhou Juzi's only wish now is to quickly follow Xia Weichan's plan, successfully complete her career as a musician, and then—

At that time, Xia Weichan will no longer have a reason to refuse.

Today is the first time Zhou Juzi has experienced living with someone she likes, even if it's only temporary—

But this feeling of happiness aroused a strong desire in the girl's heart, making this kind of life a regular occurrence.

"Hey cicada, look, it looks like the rain isn't going to stop today—"

Zhou Juzi walked into the bedroom and leaned close to Xia Weichan, saying something.

The latter was busy working on the planning for the girl's single when Zhou Juzi suddenly interrupted her, leaving Xia Weichan somewhat helpless—

Aside from her undergarments, Zhou Juzi was only wearing a shirt, making no attempt to avoid suspicion. From the front, the loose shirt created a subtle curve at the girl's chest—

However, what's most distinctive about the girl is her rich facial expressions and her tone of voice, which changes with her mood, when she's with the two of them: "I just checked, and my clothes... aren't dry yet..."
