Chapter 498: Chapter 498: 276: Silver Bracelet, May All Your Wishes Come True.

Looking at the latest message Chen Niannian had sent on his phone, Zhou Mian was also a bit stunned.

“‘Chanqing’ is what? Oh, it’s the name of Pei Muchan’s new album. So is that the meaning?” He scratched his head and sent a question mark back.

“?”

“Huh? You don’t know either?”

“No, what does it mean?” Zhou Mian asked with genuine curiosity.

In fact, he just wanted to chat more with Chen Niannian. For some reason, he couldn’t help thinking about Xu Qingyan. He had this odd feeling that if Xu found out about this, he would most likely be laughed at.

Feeling like a guilty thief, Zhou Mian heard a ghostly echo of Xu’s voice in his ear.

“What have you been up to all this time?”

Ding-dong, a message from Chen Niannian popped up.

“It’s just… a pun, right? The album name takes one character from both Pei Muchan’s and Teacher Xu’s names, doesn’t it? ‘Chan’ and ‘Qing’, some people are also saying it’s ‘tasting the green’… Isn’t that shippable?”

Zhou Mian thought about it and replied truthfully.

“If I ask, he’ll definitely say it’s a coincidence.”

“How could that be a coincidence, it’s clearly ‘Chanqing’!” Chen Niannian replied excitedly, thoroughly enjoying the gossip, “If this is a coincidence, then what about Lin Wanzhou’s album?”

With that, Zhou Mian entered a realm of ignorance. Since Xu Qingyan rarely released songs himself, he didn’t pay much attention to this sort of thing.

Provoked by that comment, Zhou Mian went out of his way to look up Lin Wanzhou’s album.

“Summer of Green Forest?”

At this point, even Zhou Mian began to question what on earth was going on with the world. It seemed to have gone mad in a way he had never seen before. Isn’t this… the way things are done now?

Two starlets with huge fan bases both release albums on the same day. Then the album titles surreptitiously incorporate Xu Qingyan’s ‘Qing’ character?

Alright, alright, the fans are now part of your three-way play?

While Zhou Mian was shocked, he quickly regained his composure. After thinking for a while with a furrowed brow, he figured he might be overthinking it—Brother Xu wasn’t the type to pull off such stunts.

“… I think it might really be a coincidence.”

Chen Niannian’s response came quickly, “How could it be? It’s too obvious, they are blatantly showing off their love!”

“Well… is there a possibility that it’s because Brother Xu was involved in part of the album production?” Zhou Mian always liked to be realistic, even when chatting with girls.

“That doesn’t mean they have to… Oh, that makes sense, it can’t really be that simple, right?” Chen Niannian sounded disappointed and sent an upset emoticon.

Zhou Mian wasn’t sure how to respond, so he simply set the conversation aside.

Meanwhile, the fans had their own opinions.

At night, at Xinghai, Haidi Building.

The press conference for “Summer of Green Forest” was about to start. Backstage, Lin Wanzhou, who had applied light makeup, was nervously holding her phone. She took a deep breath and glanced at the messages.

“I’m downstairs at your press conference.”

This message was sent three minutes ago. At that time, Lin Wanzhou was stunned for a moment, and with a pursed lip, she replied after realizing he had come to the venue.

But all her messages were like stones thrown into the ocean; she suddenly became restless. She felt a mix of excitement and anxiety, worrying if he might be stopped outside.

As it turned out, Lin Wanzhou was overthinking. When she tiptoed to the end of the backstage corridor, she peeked out and saw Qi Ting coming in with Xu Qingyan.

Her heart panicked, and she dashed back to the makeup room. She couldn’t catch her breath, her heart was still pounding, and she was baffled by why she had run in the first place.

Perhaps she did not want to be seen sneaking out, or maybe it was just embarrassing.

At that moment, knock knock knock, someone knocked on the door from outside.

“Come in.”

Qi Ting pushed the door open, “Sister Zhou Zhou, Teacher Xu is here.”

“Cough cough, I know, you go ahead.” Lin Wanzhou sat upright in her chair, and only after Qi Ting hurried off did she exhale a long breath.

No sooner had Xu Qingyan stepped in than he acted as though he was at his own press conference, handing flowers to Lin Wanzhou. Although he hadn’t brought a gift, he found a chair and sat down.

After all, they were childhood friends; green with each other until they kissed, and then brought each other home. Their relationship was more familiar than mandarin ducks washing in a hot water pot—it was among acquaintances.

“What’s the situation with this?”

“What?” Lin Wanzhou was taken aback.

“Your hair.” He said with a smile, pointing at her hair.

Lin Wanzhou, not yet realizing, looked at herself in the mirror. That’s when she noticed that although she had styled her hair, for some reason, it was now crooked.

She knew it, the hairstyle had gone askew, and she felt a blush on her face. Embarrassed to admit it, she tried to cover it up by saying to herself.

“Strange, maybe it bumped into something.”

The press conference was about to begin in no time, and the makeup artist happened to be away. Lin Wanzhou couldn’t be bothered to call anyone, so she decided to walk up to the mirror and fix it herself.

But the effort proved challenging as her dress was somewhat heavy, and the part that needed fixing was near the top of her head. It was difficult for her to reach without ruining the style around her temples.

As she was struggling, half-squinting her eyes, Lin Wanzhou suddenly saw an additional shadow behind her. In front of the makeup mirror illuminated with bulbs, Xu Qingyan reached out to help her adjust it.

Surrounded by Xu Qingyan’s presence, she froze instantly. Her eyes blinked uncontrollably, and her heart raced as she felt him so close by.

Kissing is a fatal poison; once tasted, there is a second time, a third, a fourth…

“Your hairstyle is quite interesting, it’s just a little crooked.” Xu Qingyan nonchalantly extended his finger to pinch the skewed part of her hair.

“There, it’s straight now…”

As he looked down, he suddenly felt his clothes being grasped by Lin Wanzhou. Before he could speak, her toes tiptoed up for a quick kiss, and after a brief pause, she pressed her lips firmly against his again.@@novelbin@@
