Yan Wei: Bad News

It was almost time for Xia Yu and An Siyao to meet, and Xia Yu walked towards the neighborhood exit while checking messages on his phone.

"Xia Yu, are you free on Mid-Autumn Festival?"

The counselor sent this message without explaining why he asked such a question.

Xia Yu pondered what the counselor was preparing to do.

There was too little information to make a guess.

So, he gave a vague reply:

"Maybe free, maybe not."

"Can you make time for it? Come and join the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala performance!"

The counselor revealed his intention.

As Xia Yu typed the word "reject," he deleted it immediately.

After Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Youxiang would leave for Nanzhou. He hadn't thought about how to give her a proper send-off. Maybe this was a good choice. Hua University's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala would be broadcast live on local television stations.

However, Xia Yu had no idea what to perform. With only four days left, it was impossible to prepare anything.

"By the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is in four days. Has the program been confirmed?" He asked the counselor.

"Originally it was confirmed, but Professor Shen recommended you, so you're in. Anyway, we don't need to worry about the time arrangement," the counselor replied.

It turned out that it was Shen Shengsheng who recommended him. No doubt, he wanted Xia Yu to perform music and "awaken" his passion for music.

However, could an ordinary professor of music accomplish this? The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is a program for the whole school.

Without waiting for the question, the counselor gave the answer himself.

"Professor Shen's family is a lineage of musicians with a long history and a wide network of connections, especially in the education and music fields. If you want to develop in these areas, you must build a good relationship with Professor Shen."

However, Xia Yu wasn't very interested in the education or music fields. He liked music but didn't plan to develop in the music industry.

He preferred being a well-known entrepreneur or a wealthy person.

The counselor sent another message: "But the Liu family is not bad either, it's up to you."

He was referring to the family of Liu Ronglan and Liu Manman.

Speaking of Liu Manman, she should return to class these days.

"How about it? Are you coming to the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala?"

The counselor pressed for an answer.

He also listed the attractive conditions:

"With your past experience of performing on the global stage, you don't need to attend ordinary rehearsals. Just come for the final dress rehearsal."

Xia Yu frowned and thought, and finally concluded: using a performance as a farewell for Xu Youxiang was not feasible.

If Xu Youxiang were An Siyao, he could send a song, but Xu Youxiang wasn't. Xu Youxiang had no interest in music.

And Xia Yu didn't know any other performances.

"Never mind," Xia Yu refused the counselor.

"Then there's nothing we can do," the counselor ended the conversation regretfully.

After putting away his phone, Xia Yu went outside the community and took a taxi.

He felt again that he needed to get a driver's license and buy a car.

He would do it right after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When he arrived at the An family villa, Xia Yu saw An Siyao waiting for him.

The two got into the driver's car together and headed for Baiyue Academy.

Baiyue Academy is a relatively new cooking school, but its influence is enormous. Many chefs in big hotels and famous pastry chefs, nearly half of them, come from Baiyue Academy.

Yan Wei's second grandfather, Yan Baiyu, is the vice president of Baiyue Academy, who became famous for his invention of Baiyu dumplings in his youth.

Arriving nearby, Xia Yu and An Siyao entered the cafe together, where Yan Wei was already waiting inside.

Yan Wei was looking at her phone and didn't notice Xia Yu's arrival.

On her phone screen was a chat interface with a penguin icon. She was chatting with her best friend.

"How's it going? Has that guy arrived yet?" her best friend asked.

"Not yet, I'm a bit nervous," Yan Wei replied.

"What are you nervous about? Wei Wei, you need to have some confidence. You used to not know how to dress up. You need to know that there are not many girls who are naturally prettier than you, and they definitely don't have assets like yours. Your overall strength is already the strongest!"

"But he just doesn't like me."

"Haven't I analyzed it for you? He must still be innocent. When two innocent people are together, it's hard to have feelings without any vibe. Only when you are with someone who knows how to have fun will you feel the heartthrob effect. He didn't have a girlfriend in high school, but he had one after a few days in college. Normally it wouldn't be so fast. It must be some seductive woman who knows how to have fun that tricked him. You just need to help him see that woman's true face and let him know there's no good goods in seductive, then he will have a sudden realization and choose you."

Yan Wei felt her best friend's words made sense, she looked up and saw An Siyao standing beside Xia Yu.

What happened to the promised seductive woman? What's going on with this gentle and quiet ladylike character?

And does this person look a little familiar?

Wasn't she the one who won the first district competition, took first place with Xia Yu, and later participated in global performances with him?

So the promised college girlfriend actually exists? Were she and Gui Zixiao both wrong?

Staring at the hands the two were holding and feeling the natural intimacy between them, Yan Wei had to accept this reality.

Yan Wei couldn't clearly remember what happened next. When she regained her senses, she had already left the cafe and was walking toward the dormitory.

Taking out her phone, she saw her best friend's message asking about the progress.

"Wei Wei, how's it going? Is the other person a fairy?"

"Believe me, no matter who you're facing, as long as you lower your body and pull your collar a little, everything can be solved."

"Hey, hey, hey! Have you guys already left me out of your plans?"

Yan Wei didn't say anything and silently sent a sneaky photo of An Siyao that she had taken.

Her best friend's reply came quickly.

"Isn't this An Siyao? I've prepared your bath water and made your bed. Hurry back and take a bath and go to sleep."

"Why don't you encourage me!" Yan Wei was angry.

There's nothing to encourage anymore. Don't think about it. These gentle, quiet, and weak girls are the ones that those innocent boys like the most. You have no chance," her best friend advised her.

"Didn't you say there's nothing that can't be solved by pulling down your collar!"

This kind of power has its limits, and unfortunately, the other party has already surpassed the limit. But maybe you can give it a try? This young girl seems innocent enough, so you can transform yourself into a seductive woman and steal her man. The idea came casually from her best friend.

Can it really succeed? Yan Wei was tempted for a moment.

What are you thinking? You can't do such a thing! Where are you? I'll come pick you up.

After picking up the disoriented Yan Wei, her best friend couldn't help but become curious about Xia Yu.

He looks just average in the photos, not exactly earth-shattering, so how did Yan Wei become so infatuated with him?

Moreover, An Siyao was also caught by him. Others might not know, but she knows that An Siyao is the eldest daughter of An Tianfeng, the head of the An Group, and the only direct descendant of the Deliang Capital, Yu Liang.

On the other side, Xia Yu and An Siyao also arrived at Xia Yu's house.

"You did very well." Patting An Siyao on the head, Xia Yu said.

"Mhm!" An Siyao happily accepted the praise.

Her performance made Xia Yu somewhat puzzled. Because from the beginning to the end, from the time he invited the young girl to go see Yan Wei with him, there was no inquiry about the reason. It seemed as if Yan Wei didn't exist, and the two just casually went out to have a milk tea.

"Don't you have anything to ask?" Xia Yu asked.
