Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

"Okay, okay, I'll stop talking, I'll take you guys to get ready," Su Qing hastily offered to please.

"That's more like it."

Su Qing led Zhou Yuwen and his companion to the preparation area; there were two more acts before Zhou Yuwen, about fifteen minutes' time.

When Su Qing brought Zhou Yuwen over, she pointed out the location of the piano on stage to Jiang Xinyi.

There were two pianos in the auditorium, located on the left and right sides of the stage.

"The one on the right is slightly better; it was just bought last year," Su Qing told Jiang Xinyi.

Jiang Xinyi responded with an "oh," indicating she understood.

"Okay, you guys wait here, I'm going to be busy," said Su Qing.

Zhou Yuwen told her to go ahead.

Before Su Qing left, she originally wanted to give Zhou Yuwen a hug, but Zhou Yuwen stopped her.

Zhou Yuwen asked Su Qing to keep her distance.

Naturally, Su Qing was not happy, giving Zhou Yuwen a resentful glance before leaving.

Although Zhou Yuwen had deliberately kept his distance from Su Qing, Jiang Xinyi was no fool; she could tell that things were unclear.

So after Su Qing left, Jiang Xinyi huffed with annoyance, "Scumbag."

"?" Zhou Yuwen bewilderedly asked, "What? Big sis, what did I do now? How am I a scumbag again?"

Jiang Xinyi didn't even bother looking at Zhou Yuwen, grumbling with a hollow tone, "If you're not a scumbag, then how do you know I'm talking about you?"

"..."

Zhou Yuwen was lost for words and then said, "Aren't there just the two of us here? If you're not talking about me, are you talking about your ex-boyfriend, Teacher You?"

"You're doing this on purpose!" Jiang Xinyi had never won an argument with Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen said he wasn't.

"You just said you weren't talking about me, so considering there aren't many men around you, it could only be Teacher You."

Jiang Xinyi was infuriated and said, "Shut up, will you? I'm 24 and have only dated one boyfriend so far. Look at you, you started dating in high school; do you have any grounds to criticize me? Is it my fault for calling you a scumbag?"

"But I've only had two relationships, and besides, it's not like I wanted to break up; she dumped me, okay? You women are all the same, going all out when you love someone, and then tossing us away like trash when you don't," Zhou Yuwen sighed as he sat there.

"She dumped you?" This took Jiang Xinyi by surprise.

Despite calling him scumbag, deep down, Jiang Xinyi acknowledged Zhou Yuwen's merits, making her curious.

What was Su Qing thinking to dump Zhou Yuwen?

Zhou Yuwen said there was nothing to be confused about.

"In high school, isn't it all about grades? My grades were poor at that time, and Su Qing, with her excellent grades, obviously wanted to dump me."

"But didn't she end up in a second-tier university?"

"That's right. Later, she realized she was in the same league as me, perhaps even worse, so she came back chasing after me," Zhou Yuwen said nonchalantly.

Jiang Xinyi couldn't help but snort with laughter upon hearing this.

She hadn't expected such a description of a girl, but putting herself in Zhou Yuwen's shoes, Jiang Xinyi felt quite satisfied.

Breaking up over poor grades?

And then wanting to rekindle the relationship after not doing well in university?

Thinking this way, little Zhou is right.

With women like that, I wouldn't want them either.

Jiang Xinyi gave Zhou Yuwen a thumbs up and then asked, "So what's the deal with Zheng Yanyan? Why did you break up?"

"Because, you see," Zhou Yuwen was indeed a lot more relaxed at the time, his mind wasn't quite there, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought, 'Eh, wait, when did I tell you that Yanyan and I broke up?'

Seeing Zhou Yuwen's reaction, Jiang Xinyi was certain.

They must have really broken up.

She pursed her lips, "Quit pretending, you're going to tell me you didn't break up with Zheng Yanyan? That girl just now was so proactive; good job keeping me in the dark, Zhou Yuwen. And to think I treated you like my little brother, I tell you everything, but you keep secrets from me!"

"It's not like that. Your sharing is one thing, but I have the right to protect my privacy, okay?"

"Hey, just spill it!" Jiang Xinyi didn't care about that.

She was itching to gossip.

When she and You Changjin broke up, it bothered her for quite some time.

Now, she was eager to know how Zhou Yuwen would handle his breakup.

Zhou Yuwen answered that there's nothing much to say.

"We didn't break up, just taking a cooling-off period."

"Not even the truth for me?" Jiang Xinyi raised her eyebrows.

Zhou Yuwen insisted, truly no breakup, just a cooling-off period.

Jiang Xinyi wasn't happy now, saying, "Zhou Yuwen, you're going to end up friendless."

Zhou Yuwen chuckled bitterly, "Sis, why would I lie to you about something like this?"

No matter what Zhou Yuwen said, Jiang Xinyi simply didn't believe it.

Yet, she wasn't in a hurry.

She had just heard Su Qing accidentally mention something.

It seemed that the school forum was exploding.

Jiang Xinyi didn't usually browse the forum.

But for the sake of Zhou Yuwen's juicy story, she didn't mind checking it out.

By this time, the evening gala was nearing its conclusion, with Zhou Yuwen performing in the third-to-last act.

In total, four hosts had been prepared for the event: two males and two females, with Su Qing and another sophomore senior hosting the first part, followed by a sophomore senior girl paired with a freshman junior hosting the latter.

This sophomore senior girl, Zhou Yuwen was also familiar with.

She was Minmin, the senior sister from Tao Tian's dormitory.

Deserving of the title senior sister, she wore a black off-the-shoulder dress adorned with glittering faux diamonds in cold weather, her gown slit on both sides to reveal a pair of long, booted legs.
