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

"Yuexuan..."

"Hmm, what's wrong, Brother Duan?"

"I like you."

"...Sorry, not right now."

"Yuexuan... I confessed my feelings to you with marriage in mind."

"Yes, that's precisely why... I... that's why I refused..."

"..."

At six o'clock in the morning, Xia Weichan woke up in bed, recalling her dream, and let out a soft sigh.

It wasn't a dream, but a replay of past memories.

He reached out and patted both cheeks.

Take a break from a state of agitation.

After failing to confess her feelings in the second playthrough, Xia Weichan finally began to get tired of the nurturing system.

If there hadn't been any problems with his feelings for her, why would he have failed to confess his love back then?

Later on, Ke Yuexuan even blushed and took the initiative to buy a pair of rings, giving one of them to him.

Back then, Xia Weichan could even find books about preparing for pregnancy and how to maintain married life that had been read in the drawer by the girl's bedside.

But even under such circumstances

He genuinely intended to marry Ke Yuexuan and spend his life with her.

The girl rejected his confession with a nervous, stuttering voice.

Xia Weichan is truly at her wit's end...

No one can compare to Ju Zi.

Thinking of this, Xia Weichan picked up her phone, grabbed her bag, and called an old friend as she went downstairs.

"Beep beep beep—"

"Hello, this is Leyi, who are you?"

"The Cicada in Summer".

A woman with a slightly husky voice on the other end of the phone let out a long "Oh," followed by the sound of a lighter being lit, as if she were lighting a cigarette.

"Phew~, Boss Xia's younger brother? Oh right, I should call you the new boss, what's up?"

Le Yi is the head trainee at Kingfisher Artists Company, responsible for selecting trainees. Initially, she was a senior artist who had retired due to her age.

Xia Weiyu recruited her into the company when she was down on her luck. Out of respect for Xia Weiyu, Le Yi and many other senior employees would call him "boss".

It's a name that has a strong江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) feel to it

"I'm just letting you know in advance. My brother said before he passed away that if there's anything at the company, you can come to me."

"Oh, so the boss trusts me quite a bit, really...heh."

"For this batch of trainees, I'm planning to include one person; her abilities..."

"So? A relative?"

The tone on the other end of the phone was somewhat sarcastic.

"?"

There was no response as Xia Weichan had anticipated.

In the previous game, if he had his eye on any promising talents, he would have only needed to tell Yueyi.

"Little brother, I need to give you a heads-up. Getting people into the trainee pool is no joke. Since the boss trusts me so much, I won't let anyone else mess around with it."

"My brother has also done this."

Xia Weichan frowned; he had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

"Xia Weiyu is Xia Weiyu. He's a musical genius. No one in the entire entertainment company dares to disobey him. What about you?"

Le Yi speaks very bluntly, but she's only doing this out of kindness, out of respect for her former boss.

There are countless examples of large companies bringing in leaders from outside, only to create chaos and problems.

Just because you become the boss doesn't mean you can inherit all the trust your brother left behind.

Who is Xia Weichan?

Why did no one dare to openly object to his support of Tsurugi Kurimaki?

Because Xia Weichan handled everything herself, from composing the music and setting the melody to creating the band accompaniment score.

It wasn't Kingfisher Entertainment that promoted Tsuruo Kurimaki, but rather Xia Weichan who single-handedly promoted Kingfisher Entertainment.

Leyi added:

"You've probably heard about your brother's exploits, right? I do hope you can inherit some of his genes, even if it's just a fraction of them."

Xia Weichan understood that this was a questioning of him by an old friend, and it wasn't just Le Yi who was questioning him.

After a moment's thought, he couldn't help but laugh and confidently told his old friend over the phone:

"She signed the contract yesterday. I'll bring that new employee to the company today, and I'll give you proof then."

"Are you trying to prove something, your ability to write lyrics?"

"No, get me an electric guitar. Both the newbie and I are good at rock and heavy metal."

"Hmm? I understand."

Leyi finally stubbed out her cigarette.

"You don't mind if I hire someone else, do you?"

After hanging up the phone, Leyi walked out of the company's smoking area and looked at the poster of Kurimaki Tsuruo on the wall, smiling with interest.

"I hope it's the second Tsuruo."

"Oh, and I also need to call that guy who likes to shake his head over..."

......

In the dormitory, Zhou Juzi was still dreaming. Although it was only her first day as a college student, she already looked like a mature college student.

The bunk beds with desks underneath in university dorm rooms have an irresistible charm that makes people want to sleep in late.

The girl's sleeping posture was casual; she was lying on her back.

The bedding was kicked to the foot of the bed, and one side of the shorts was almost pulled up to the thigh.

The rolled-up T-shirt on her upper body was caught by her full, soft breasts, while her shapely abdomen was exposed.

I didn't get a proper rest yesterday, and because of the cicadas, I almost couldn't sleep until the early hours of the morning.

Just as Zhou Juzi turned over, preparing to go back to sleep, her phone rang, vibrating so loudly it hurt her eardrums.

"Hmm... Hmph~"

She let out a soft, irritated moan; Zhou Juzi kept her eyes tightly shut.

My fingers groped for the bedside table, and through muscle memory, I answered the phone and turned on speakerphone.

"Feed..."

"What time is it? Come out of the east gate of the school."

"?!"

Xia Weichan's voice was like a pair of large hands, directly pulling the half-asleep Zhou Juzi out of bed.

The girl frantically pulled down her T-shirt, which was tangled with her bra, and shook her head rapidly to force herself to turn it on.

I clearly promised Xia Weichan yesterday that I would go to the talent agency for training...

He flicked his tongue against his canine tooth.

Zhou Juzi quickly climbed out of bed, changed her clothes, and without even washing up, took a mint from Liang Na's bedside table.

"Please...wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

After saying that, Zhou Juzi, with her phone still in her mouth, quickly put on her outdoor shoes, almost falling to the ground in the process.

"..."

Liang Na, who had woken up early and was scrolling through her social media accounts in bed, turned to look at the flustered Zhou Juzi and said with a strange expression:

"Um... Tachibana Azusa, where are you going?"

Zhou Juzi paused for a moment, then said, "Class begins..."

"I don't remember having class this morning. Did someone ask you out?"

Liang Na caught a glimpse of her phone out of the corner of her eye; it seemed she was still on the phone with someone.

Judging from the voice just now, it seemed to be a boy?

That's truly like the sun rising in the west...

"Was that a guy on the phone?"

"Eh..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Juzi, who had run to the door, froze, as if struck by lightning.

Looking at the phone that was still connected to the call...

She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and said calmly:

"Boy friend."

"ha?"

.......
