Qi Ting rubbed her arms, as if to dispel nonexistent goosebumps.

“Sister Zhou Zhou, you’re not even married off yet, and you’re acting like water spilled out, leaving everything to Teacher Xu to handle. You’re not asking about anything?”

“I don’t know, he mentioned something about cultural tourism in Southern Yunnan, and I think it’s pretty good.”

“Holy shit! Cultural tourism in Southern Yunnan, that’s really good!” Qi Ting immediately changed her tune, grinning from ear to ear, “Especially since we’ve been hitting walls lately and the chances of attending events have been dwindling.”

“If we can get on board with the Southern Yunnan cultural tourism line, things will be much easier in the future.”

“Is that so.” She said somewhat distractedly, “Ting Ting, what’s this seaside special event for anime series all about?”

Qi Ting, who had been dancing with joy, paused for a moment and looked at Lin Wanzhou.

“Sister Zhou Zhou, why are you asking about that?”

“Nothing… Just curious after hearing about it, that’s all.” Lin Wanzhou covered up her true intentions without batting an eye.

“Oh, that, it’s about some animes,” Qi Ting explained, “mostly romance series where they insert a beach episode in the middle.”

“After the beach episode, the relationship usually takes a big leap forward.”

“Or it’s just a slice-of-life, comedy anime where the beach episode is essentially a breather to prevent viewer fatigue, and after a couple of episodes, it continues with the main storyline.”

“Ro… romance… love?” Lin Wanzhou’s face turned crimson like a rotten apple, not catching a word of what Qi Ting was saying at the end.

“Forget it, Sister Zhou Zhou, just stay put for a while.” Qi Ting had had enough and touched her forehead in exasperation, “I’ll go find Sister Yun, she knows more.”

Saying so, Qi Ting left.

When she found Wen Yun, Wen Yun had just hung up the phone, and Qi Ting guessed it was from a call that had come just before or after one from Xu Qingyan.

Indeed, Wen Yun put down her phone and said,

“We’ve got a promising collaboration, with Yunnan’s tourism department. Xu Qingyan has assured that Zhou Zhou can be on it.”

“Oh, I just came from Sister Zhou Zhou’s place.” Qi Ting said, “The song’s pretty good, but I heard it’s a pop-folk number. Can Sister Zhou Zhou switch styles like that?”

“Good or not, we won’t know until we record it,” Wen Yun said, her hands crossed on the table, “If it doesn’t make a splash, no one will care about this failure anyway.”

“That’s true.”

….

At nightfall,

Pei Muchan opened the gift box—its interior was black, and inside was a bracelet. The bracelet was hollowed-out in design, obviously valuable at a glance, with a line of words engraved on it.

Gentle, signifying mildness, but also as a reference to late summer.

She stared at the bracelet for a while, her thoughts suddenly dragged back to last year’s summer. The room where they were bound together, the key taken from the window in the middle of the night.

During a thunderstorm, in a long and dim kitchen passageway. There was only a thin chain in the middle, connecting the two of them. At that time, they had no idea of the future, each with their own thoughts.

It was only in hindsight that they realized they had come so far without knowing it.

The silver chain from the love reality show had been undone, but the invisible chain had never been broken. It had been locked on their wrists ever since that moment, and the distance between them had been growing shorter.

In a daze, a ridiculous thought suddenly rose in her mind.

Perhaps that summer had never ended. During the love reality show, much of it was performance. Once the cameras were removed and the crew left, the real romance was only just beginning.

But this time there were no spectators, only their own true feelings.

She took out the bracelet, examined it under the light for a while, alone in the second-floor office. Xu Qingyan was nowhere to be found, probably gone to the set.

Suddenly, the door to the hallway’s composing room was pushed open, and footsteps echoed down the hall.

Pei Muchan was startled, and before she could hide the bracelet, Xu Qingyan, returning to the office, saw it. The outside was pitch-black, with only him leaning against the doorway.

He glanced at her with interest, then his gaze moved down, eventually settling on the bracelet she was clutching in her hand, and he couldn’t help but laugh with his arms crossed.

“Do you like the gift?”

At his words, Pei Muchan instantly looked down and placed the bracelet on the table.

“Yeah.”

“Not going to try it on?” he asked.

Pei Muchan diverted her gaze, “I’m not used to wearing bracelets.”

“Is it that you’re not used to wearing bracelets, or you’re not used to seeing me?” Xu Qingyan moved closer, stood in front of her and looked at her with a smile, “Are you mad?”
