Half a month later, after class one day, Qin Yuwei came bouncing over to find her as usual.
Over the past six months, the two had become good friends due to their similar majors and compatible personalities.
"Qianqian! Over here!" Qin Yuwei, her short hair flying, waved energetically. As Su Qianqian approached, she linked arms with her, but her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the school gate.
"Huh? Today, your Prince Gu isn't here either?"
For the past half month, she hadn't seen that imposing man appear at the school gate.
Su Qianqian's expression remained normal as she said softly, "No, he didn't come."
Straightforward and unable to hold back, Qin Yuwei leaned in and whispered gossipily, "Did you have a fight? Or is he just really busy lately? It's been ages since I've seen him come pick you up!"
Seeing her friend's curious and concerned look, Su Qianqian smiled.
She genuinely liked Qin Yuwei, this uncalculating, enthusiastic, and simple-hearted friend.
After a moment's thought, she decided to tell the truth.
"We broke up," she said calmly.
"What?" Qin Yuwei stopped in her tracks, her eyes wide and her voice rising, drawing glances from surrounding classmates.
She quickly lowered her voice, "You broke up? When? Why? Wasn't Young Master Gu insanely good to you? You have no idea how amazed and envious people in our circle were of you privately."
"It happened half a month ago," Su Qianqian said, pulling her along to continue walking.
"There's no special reason. I just felt we weren't really suited."
"Besides, I want to focus on my career now."
She said it lightly, but Qin Yuwei could still see complex emotions in her eyes.
Though she was a bit scatterbrained, she knew relationship entanglements were never that simple.
She clicked her tongue, momentarily at a loss for words, finally settling on, "Focusing on your career? I support you, girl!"
She patted Su Qianqian's shoulder, then got excited again, "Oh right! I saw your movie! Absolutely stunning! Several guys from our music department became your fans after watching it!"
"And also, that demo we recorded last time, even my teacher said it was amazing and is pushing me to finish the full version. Are you sure you won't consider developing in the music industry?"
Su Qianqian laughed at her teasing, "Stop joking. I'm no professional singer material. I was just humming a bit. I haven't even figured out acting yet."
Even as she said this, being dragged by Qin Yuwei to spend time in the piano room and record demos had indeed sparked a bit of interest in this once unfamiliar field.
"Humming is enough! Your voice is a gift from heaven!" Qin Yuwei insisted, then winked, "But, there's a small original music concert next month. You have to come and support me!"
"Think of it as relaxing."
"Okay, I'll definitely go if I'm free," Su Qianqian agreed with a smile.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked out of the school gate.
Watching Su Qianqian get into the company-arranged van that came to pick her up, Qin Yuwei stood in place, the smile on her face slowly fading.
She took out her phone, opened WeChat, hesitated for a moment, then still sent a message to Yu'an Ge (Brother Yu'an):
[Bro! Earth-shattering news! Qianqian and Gu Chengyu broke up half a month ago!!!]
[She's single now! Focusing on her career! Your chance is here!!!]
After sending it, Qin Yuwei looked at the screen, a hint of guilt in her eyes.
She had been close to Zhou Yu'an since childhood, much closer than to her own brother, Qin Yu, who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
In her heart, Yu'an Ge was gentle, outstanding, and kept himself clean—simply the epitome of a perfect man.
Although he hung out with Gu Chengyu and that crowd, she always thought it was because Yu'an Ge had a good temper and valued loyalty, that he was just led astray by them.
She had sensed Zhou Yu'an's unusual attention towards Su Qianqian for a long time.
Before, because of Gu Chengyu, she didn't dare say or do anything.
But now...
Qin Yuwei clenched her fist, her eyes sparkling.
Qianqian was so wonderful—beautiful, hardworking, with a great personality. Wouldn't she and Yu'an Ge be a perfect match?
It was time for her, as a little sister, to give her brother a helping hand!
