Trio

In the conversation between Xia Yu and Liu Manman, the one with the most emotional ups and downs was not the two of them but Yan Wei, who was beside them.

At first, when she saw that Kong Hanyue knew Liu Manman, a bad feeling flashed through her heart.

Then, after confirming that Xia Yu also knew Liu Manman, Yan Wei's uneasiness grew even more.

By the time Liu Manman invited Xia Yu to go abroad and participate in some competition, the alarm bells were already ringing loudly in Yan Wei's heart.

Such a situation where they go to a foreign country and struggle together could easily lead to undesirable relationships, as is often portrayed on television.

It wasn't until Xia Yu declined Liu Manman's invitation that Yan Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Liu Manman used Ning Qiuer as a temptation, which made Yan Wei's heart race again.

Unlike Xia Yu, Yan Wei cared about fashion; although Ning Qiuer had no news now, she had once been a true national idol.

Thankfully, Xia Yu declined without any hesitation.

Experiencing these emotional ups and downs twice, Yan Wei took a sip of tea to calm her heart.

She thought that she needed to find a way to tell Liu Manman at an opportune time that Xia Yu already had a girlfriend with whom he planned to go to Huada together.

In this way, she would be able to eliminate this potential love rival.

She could tell that Liu Manman didn't have any special feelings for Xia Yu at the moment, but she believed that as long as they spent more time together, feelings would inevitably develop.

The conversation between Xia Yu and Liu Manman continued.

Upon being rejected, Liu Manman released Xia Yu's hand, losing enthusiasm: "Alright, forget it."

Calling the waiter to order a cup of coffee, Liu Manman asked Xia Yu again, "Do you have any contact information for An Siyao?"

Xia Yu became cautious and asked, "What do you want with An Siyao?"

"Do you really have An Siyao's contact information?" Liu Manman looked at him in surprise when he didn't deny it immediately.

"No, I don't." Xia Yu shook his head.

"I know you do! Don't try to fool me!" Liu Manman's intuition told her that Xia Yu was lying to her.

After some thought, Xia Yu felt that there was no harm in telling Liu Manman, however, he had to inquire about her purpose first, "Tell me what you want with An Siyao first."

"Since you won't accompany me, I can only ask An Siyao to do so," Liu Manman replied.

"A piano and guzheng duet?" Xia Yu couldn't think of any piece that could be performed with a piano and a guzheng together.

"I heard that An Siyao plays the violin, and I also play the bamboo flute," Liu Manman said, these combinations could work in an ensemble. "Originally, I wanted to invite you first, then invite An Siyao. We can have guzheng, An Siyao playing the violin, or I could switch from playing the guzheng to the flute."

Sighing, Liu Manman felt that her chances of inviting An Siyao were slim.

At this moment, Xia Yu spoke again, "Actually, I could go as well."

Hearing this, Liu Manman raised her head, her face full of enthusiasm: "Apart from Ning Qiuer, I know other young artists, and I'll introduce them to you!"

"My condition is not that." Xia Yu shook his head, "You go invite An Siyao first. If An Siyao agrees, I'll go with you."

In short, are the conditions for An Siyao?

Understanding Xia Yu's intentions, Liu Manman couldn't help but feel annoyed; she went out of her way to invite Xia Yu, but he wouldn't go. As long as An Siyao went, Xia Yu would follow, wasn't this implying that she couldn't compare to An Siyao?

"Ugh, if I can invite An Siyao, then what do I need you for?" Liu Manman reluctantly complained to Xia Yu.

"My violin skills are now higher than your guzheng skills, and I can also play the xiao, which I think is better than yours," Xia Yu said.

He doesn't know how to play the xiao yet, but Liu Ronglan does, so he can learn from her or teach himself.

With a lv5 intermediate level of music, it is now much easier to teach himself.

"Damn genius!" Liu Manman cursed under her breath.

"What did you say?" Xia Yu asked.

"Nothing, I agree. Wait for my good news!"

Having agreed on the matter, the two drank tea together.

The reason why Xia Yu agreed to Liu Manman was that he wanted to meet An Siyao.

It's necessary to confront An Siyao, but before doing that, he must first test her attitude towards the real him, to avoid a situation where the truth comes to light prematurely.

There were not many days left for the competition, and making a name in the global contest is beneficial for the girls of Dongzhixiang to develop admiration and recognition, which is helpful for the completion of the mission.

They reached a friendly agreement, and both were quite satisfied. However, Yan Wei on the other side began to feel a bit delicate.

What's going on with An Siyao? Why did you agree as soon as she was mentioned?

Didn't you say you already have a girlfriend? What happened to meeting your girlfriend at Hua University?

Moreover, the scene of two girls and a boy working hard for their music dream seemed somewhat familiar, and the seasons matched as well.

A big crisis!

Why did I learn cooking instead of music back then?

Yan Wei felt dejected.

After a few sips of tea, Kong Hanyue took them to the terrace for photos. Xia Yu followed and looked at the scenery below.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, and the distant sky was white, while the ground was covered in white.

Standing on the terrace, they seemed to be in a white world, feeling a sense of tranquility and peace.

Now Xia Yu knew why Liu Manman came here to play the music of the ruined city to experience the emotions of the music.

After Kong Hanyue and the others finished taking photos, Liu Manman packed up her zither and carried the case on her back. She continued to walk up the mountain with the others.

"Give me the zither," Xia Yu stretched out his hand to Liu Manman, the guzheng was not a lightweight instrument.

"No need." Because the guzheng was too heavy, Liu Manman was embarrassed to let Xia Yu carry it.

"Then just leave it here, we'll come back to get it when we go down the mountain," Xia Yu suggested.

"Yeah!"

Happily leaving the guzheng at the counter, Liu Manman excitedly patted Xia Yu's shoulder, "That's a great idea."

Looking at her carefree demeanor, and recalling the earlier incident where she held his hand while talking, Xia Yu labeled her as someone who doesn't know how to maintain distance.

The group arrived at the top of the mountain, went on a tour in a small manor, had lunch, and then went down the mountain.

Rejecting Kong Hanyue's suggestion to go to her house, Liu Manman turned to Xia Yu, "Can you tell me An Siyao's contact information now?"

"She's a student from the Eastern Town. You can find out about her just by asking any girl from there." Xia Yu knew An Siyao's phone number, QQ number, and address, but he didn't mention these because the sources of this information were not easy to explain.

Only the information from Eastern Town, because of Zhong Yunxin, was not a secret.

"I'm going to Light Shake now, wait for my good news!" Liu Manman waved her phone and left by car.

Xia Yu's trio and Yan Wei's group parted ways at the platform near Yan's house and returned to the villa.

By this time, it was already afternoon. Zhong Yunze was lying on the living room sofa with a can of something in his hand. Xia Yu took a closer look and saw it was Coke.

"What's wrong?" Kong Hanyue asked.

"Nothing." Zhong Yunze got up and left the living room, returning to his bedroom.

Feeling that something was amiss, Xia Yu took a break and then pushed open the door to Zhong Yunze's room.

Zhong Yunze was listlessly pouring Coke, with five or six empty cans under his feet.

"Are things not going well with the company?" Xia Yu asked.

"It's not just about things not going well anymore." Zhong Yunze finally revealed the news to Xia Yu.
