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

[Successfully selected binding route - Musician]

When he was conducting background research on Zhou Juzi, he had already planned out the girl's future development path.

The talent agency that I just inherited can also be put to good use in this playthrough.

Xia Weichan has prepared to use the best resources to create a legendary musician within three months.

It's like piling up chestnut-shaped tsurugi...

His gaze towards Zhou Juzi was confident. Seeing the girl's stunned expression, he said calmly:

"I'm a producer, or rather a composer, and I want to make you an idol musician."

Zhou Juzi's expression trembled, and for a moment she couldn't even focus her gaze on Xia Weichan; her eyes wavered and wavered.

Then, she asked haltingly:

"You...you're acting strangely. I have no idea why you're doing this..."

"Because I'm a talent scout driven by interest."

Xia Weichan spoke gently, crafting a suitable persona for himself, even though the reason was full of holes.

"It is particularly heartbreaking to see promising newcomers being overlooked for various reasons."

Zhou Juzi looked at the man in front of her, hesitant to speak.

Compared to malice that leaves a trace,

This kind of kindness, without any basis or origin, is more likely to cause emotional fluctuations in young girls.

The other party, however, seemed indifferent...

Excluding the middle period, the cicadas in summer.

Beyond the initial three minutes of excitement after accepting the confession,

The boy, who was no more than two years older than her, had an expression as if he were simply carrying out a preordained plan.

It was as if every word had been rehearsed beforehand...

Zhou Juzi even suspected that she might have met him somewhere before, or that he was someone who had a crush on her in the past.

Talent scout?

The girl knew she wasn't exactly intelligent, but she wasn't completely stupid either.

Such a ridiculous explanation simply cannot justify Xia Weichan's actions.

How could Zhou Juzi not have ever been in contact with a real talent scout?

Talent scouts are driven by profit.

The proper approach of a legitimate business talent scout is to first observe the performance of a promising stock before gradually increasing investment in it.

What kind of talent scout would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and even resort to coercion to get involved with a woman when nothing has even started and they've only met twice?

Many questions remained unanswered, but Zhou Juzi made no choice.

My heart feels like a kettle of water gradually boiling, restless and agitated...

"it is good."

Zhou Juzi didn't have high hopes for Xia Weichan's statement; she simply went along with his wishes and tried to satisfy him.

Just as the girl had initially thought.

"It seems we've reached a preliminary agreement."

Xia Weichan picked up the folder on the chair next to him, and pulled out a contract and a fingerprint pad.

He handed these things over.

"This is the contract from Kingfisher Entertainment. Since you're just starting out, this is only the most basic trainee contract. Later, when you debut and become famous, you'll get upgraded to higher contracts."

"are you serious?"

"I have never joked since I confessed my feelings to you."

"..."

Zhou Juzi's hands trembled slightly as she accepted the contract. After confirming its contents,

Her heart felt like it had been scalded by boiling water.

The girl couldn't help but read it aloud softly, word by word. It was almost like the precious trainee contract she received a few years ago...

But this contract needs to be more lenient.

Xia Weichan gave the maximum benefit she could.

"Three months. Our contract is only for three months. After three months, we will be strangers, and all the money you owe, as well as medical expenses, will be wiped clean."

"I said I would..."

"Shut up, let me finish. After you sign this contract, I will print out another one tomorrow that only concerns the two of us."

"A contract for...both of us?"

From the very beginning, Zhou Juzi's brows were never furrowed.

"I might need some time to process this..."

"No need, I can explain it verbally."

Xia Weichan's voice was solemn and exceptionally clear within the private room:

"First, for the next three months, we will be in a romantic relationship, but you must not do anything to me—and I mean 'any'—you have the rights of a girlfriend, and I will not ask you to do anything related to that. Second, you have the right to be independent, and I will not force you to do anything other than train as a musician."

"Third, your phone must be always reachable, and you must be available whenever it concerns the artist's company. Fourth, do not disturb me. I have the right to absolute autonomy. If you have any psychological problems, go see a psychologist yourself. I am not a dumping ground for your late-night emotions."

"...Please wait a moment!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Juzi's expression gradually became complicated.

Why...?

Xia Weichan pointed a finger at her lightly and said expressionlessly:

"Now, let me add a few more things. When I'm training you, don't ask me 'Why?' Just do what I assign you. Don't complain about being tired during training, and don't worry about money anymore. Just train hard to become a musician, and the income you bring will naturally make up for the debts you owe."

"..."

Perhaps it was because Xia Weichan's voice was particularly earnest,

Zhou Juzi actually felt the pressure ahead of time, just like when she was in elementary school and faced a lecture from her homeroom teacher.

Her legs, hidden under the table, were slightly brought together, but then she couldn't help shaking them.

Everything today is too abnormal.

I initially thought that what this man said was just the usual talk about keeping a cute and obedient pet.

Even confessions of love carry a degree of coercion.

Zhou Juzi thought that perhaps the other party's family had some restrictions on her private life.

And after becoming each other's "lovers," the other person can do whatever they want, which also gives them a good explanation to their family...

But that contract, and what I just said,

This completely changed Zhou Juzi's attitude towards Xia Weichan from helpless aversion to bewilderment.

Although I don't want to admit it,

But this guy seems to be better than she imagined?

All she had to do was accept his confession and become his lover for three months... and everything that had been bothering her would be wiped away.

No need to sacrifice your body,

even,

She also doesn't have to fulfill the obligations of being a girlfriend.

All she had to do was accept his training and become a qualified musician.

Even the conditions she offered couldn't be called "conditions."

Because becoming a musician on stage is her dream...

Looking at the contract in black and white in his hand,

A few years ago, this was something she, as a preparatory student... had fought desperately for.

Becoming a trainee at an entertainment company...

right now,

And so, in a very informal setting, she held it in her hand.

A sense of absurdity at regaining what was lost made Zhou Juzi feel a little dizzy.

Why?

What makes me think I can do this?

The fierceness in her peach blossom eyes when she looked up had completely vanished in Xia Weichan's eyes.

The girl hesitated, her pink lips trembling as if she wanted to speak, but then quickly closed them again.

My boyfriend doesn't like this kind of curiosity.

He frantically searched his mind for memories of "Xia Weichan," but to no avail.

Then, Zhou Juzi no longer hesitated.

Sign your name and press your fingerprint on the contract.

She accepted.
