Zhao Feiyang, who was listening to the music nearby, asked, "Who's on the phone?"

"Who else could it be but Xia Ziling?"

Xu Fan then said to the driver, "Driver, please take me to the entrance of the medical university."

The driver agreed, and they remained silent the entire way.

At the entrance of the medical university, Xia Ziling, wearing a short skirt and with her hair in a ponytail, looked around nervously. When Xu Fan's taxi stopped, Xia Ziling subconsciously took a few steps back.

Seeing that it was Xu Fan, she was relieved and said happily, "I thought you weren't coming."

Zhao Feiyang leaned out and asked, "Miss Xia, you called Lao Xu so late at night, and you were all dressed up so beautifully. You must be someone special!"

Xia Ziling froze, her hand still on the bus. She looked at the black-haired man and asked with a puzzled expression, "Zhao Feiyang, what are you doing here?"

===Chapter 17 The Young Couple in the Restaurant===

Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhao Feiyang said speechlessly, "Hey, Miss Xia, if I'm not here, where should I be?"

Xia Ziling glared at Xu Fan for a moment before saying, "You two are really close. I'm ignoring you."

After saying that, Xia Ziling turned and left.

Xu Fan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What just happened?"

Zhao Feiyang said to the driver, "Master, keep up."

After much coaxing, Xia Ziling finally got into the passenger seat, somewhat angrily. Xu Fan then said, "You haven't eaten yet, it's so late!"

Xia Ziling snorted and said, "You can't eat more once you've eaten!"

Zhao Feiyang looked out the window, as if to say, "You guys talk, I won't say anything, okay?"

Xu Fan was speechless. He had met his match!

Xu Fan and his two companions got out of the taxi in front of a restaurant not far from the medical university.

As Zhao Feiyang got out of the car, he said, "Let me tell you, the snail rice noodles at this restaurant are absolutely delicious!"

Xu Fan wasn't particular about food, so he didn't think too much about it, and the three of them stepped inside.

We didn't specifically look for a private room; we just sat casually in the lobby and ordered a few side dishes.

Zhao Feiyang seemed to really love snail rice noodles, ordering a serving right away and completely ignoring Xu Fan and Xia Ziling.

Xia Ziling sat opposite him, holding her chopsticks, her eyes seemingly hesitant. Xu Fan asked, "Is there something you want to say?"

Xia Ziling nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhao Feiyang looked up at them, then noticed that they were both looking at him, so he lowered his head again to eat his snail rice noodles.

Xu Fan said, "Speak."

Xia Ziling said, "I watched your performance tonight and listened to your 'Sorrow' song."

Xu Fan asked, puzzled, "And then?"

Zhao Feiyang quietly took off his earphones and listened intently.

"My Douyin (TikTok) feed is full of people asking who you are. I'm wondering if I should tell them?"

Xia Ziling looked at Xu Fan calmly.

Seeing that Xia Ziling hesitated for so long before bringing up this matter, Xu Fan was somewhat speechless and said, "If you want to talk about it, that's fine too!"

Xia Ziling said anxiously, "But..."

Xu Fan suddenly shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter anyway."

Xia Ziling opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything. Just as the two were chatting, she suddenly heard a crying sound.

The two of them instinctively looked over there.

Perhaps it was the soft music playing in the hotel lobby that affected the atmosphere, and some people finally couldn't control their emotions.

This restaurant is not far from several universities in the vicinity, so most of the customers are students.

It was graduation season.

Those feelings that were once so intense and passionate now seem to become extremely glaring as graduation approaches.

The girl lay face down on the table, her sobs growing louder and louder.

It attracted countless eyes from the restaurant.

The boy opposite the girl remained unmoved, simply sitting there calmly watching her, his eyes filled with reluctance, sadness, and also a sense of resolute determination.

Looking at this scene, Xia Ziling said helplessly, "Everyone says that graduation season is breakup season, which seems to be all too normal."

Zhao Feiyang interjected, "It's better to be single like us; at least we won't experience this heart-wrenching sadness."

Xu Fan and Xia Ziling subconsciously turned to look at Zhao Feiyang, and asked in unison, "Is this why you were single for four years in college?"

Zhao Feiyang lowered his head and said that the snail rice noodles were really delicious.

Xu Fan and Xia Ziling continued to look at the couple.

"Actually, being alone is quite nice, isn't it?"

The boy grabbed the glass next to him and took a big gulp. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the ceiling, as if trying to hold back his tears.

The girl was still crying. The boy lowered his head and reached out his hand.

He probably wanted to touch the girl's head, like he used to.

But his hand stopped in mid-air, looking somewhat lonely.

"Stop crying, okay? You should be happy. Turn the page on this from today."

The boy withdrew his hand, poured himself another half glass of wine, took a sip, stood up, and prepared to leave.

The girl's crying grew louder, and the boy stopped and sat back down in his seat.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Looking at the couple, Xia Ziling said with some emotion, "They must both be reluctant to part with each other!"

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "Perhaps."

After finishing the last bite of snail rice noodles, Zhao Feiyang looked up and said, "They're just despicable. They clearly like each other, but they still leave each other."

Xia Ziling glared at Zhao Feiyang and said, "You don't know anything. Do you know that some things are unavoidable?"

Zhao Feiyang retorted, "If you have to break up after graduation, then what's the point of dating in college!"

Xia Ziling said, "If you like each other, then be together!"

Zhao Feiyang snorted and said, "If you like someone, just be together. Have you considered the feelings of the person who truly gave their all? That girl kept crying, and that boy tried to comfort her several times but always stopped. Do you think that boy is heartless?"

Xia Ziling turned around and stared at Zhao Feiyang, saying, "Isn't that right?"

Zhao Feiyang said, "Hmph, that's just reality. Girls want to leave boys, but they have to act like they're so reluctant to part with them. I don't want to talk about it."

After saying that, Zhao Feiyang called out again, "Waiter, bring me a bunch of grilled tendons."

Xia Ziling snorted softly, about to say something, when Xu Fan said, "Stop talking, let's eat!"

The boy eventually stood up, ready to leave, but after taking two steps, he stopped, walked behind the girl, and humbly leaned down beside her, saying, "I love you, but we've become strangers in the end."

After saying that, the boy stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

His silhouette was somewhat desolate, yet resolute!

Xu Fan shook his head. Although he felt a little sad, Zhao Feiyang was right. Luckily, he didn't date in college, otherwise he would be the one feeling sad now.

Just as Xu Fan was about to continue eating, another voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

From the system!

[Ding! The Perfect Music System, striving for perfection, has sensed the host's emotional fluctuations. The task system has been activated. Please complete the initial task as soon as possible!]

[Ding! Initial mission: Select and purchase a song from a parallel world, sing it to the couple Annono and Qin Feng, and help them be united in marriage.]

[Ding! Mission reward: One song from a parallel world. Mission failure will result in the deduction of all favorability points.]

Xu Fan sat there, chopsticks in hand, looking bewildered. If he wasn't blind, the boy should have already left the restaurant by now.

At this moment, should you choose a song and sing it to them?

System, are you fucking kidding me?

Xu Fan had always thought that his system was a lifeless, mechanical system, devoid of any emotion. But now he realized that it wasn't that the system lacked emotion, but rather that he didn't understand the system's situation well enough.

The cunning system successfully deceived its own vulnerable heart.

Without a second thought, he knew that the most urgent thing was to win the boy back as soon as possible.

As for what song to sing for them, that's another matter.

===Chapter 18 You Should Be Happy===

After saying that, he stood up abruptly and walked towards the door.

Zhao Feiyang called out, "Old Xu, where are you going?"

Xu Fan turned around and said, "You guys eat first, I'll be right back."

Watching Xu Fan leave the hotel in a flurry, Zhao Feiyang glanced at Xia Ziling with a weak look and said, "It seems like there's something wrong with your husband, Xu."

Xia Ziling glared at the fat man and said, "Your old Xu is the one with the problem. He's not mine."

"Forehead!"

Zhao Feiyang looked at the door with a bewildered expression and said with some confusion, "Really?"

Xia Ziling snorted and ignored Zhao Feiyang.

Xu Fan ran out of the restaurant and looked around.

Then I saw a somewhat lonely figure in the distance, swaying as it walked forward.

Not far from the restaurant is a small river. The water is not clear or deep, but the scenery on both banks is quite beautiful.
