Night
Gentle as water
Wang Yiran changed into her pajamas and lay there.
During this ti together, Yu Qingjia had already beco like family to her.
"Yiran, you’re so beautiful, like a fairy."
"There are too many fairies in the group. I’m just an ordinary one."
"I an it. You’re a true little fairy."
Yu Qingjia’s words made Wang Yiran very happy.
"Sister Qingjia, actually, when I’m ho, I don’t sleep in pajamas."
"Ah!"
"It’s just that I have to maintain a ladylike deanor here, and I’m also scared of this place."
"Yiran, what are you scared of?"
Wang Yiran propped herself up on her arms, her expression carrying a faint sadness.
"My group fell apart. I ca to a strange environnt surrounded by unfamiliar people."
"So, you turned yourself into a hedgehog."
"Mm! And I feel so guilty. During that ti, I watched old videos of our group every day."
"Yiran, it’s not your fault alone that the group disbanded."
"I know, but I was the top mber in Flower City. I feel I’ve let down those sisters who fought alongside for years."
Yu Qingjia could sense the sadness and reluctance in her.
"Yiran, were the relationships within your group very good?"
"Very good. We were nothing like the cutthroat competition at headquarters. We were like sisters."
"I’ve heard that Flower City valued ’group spirit.’"
"But ultimately, our group dissolved. Four of us ca here, three quit, leaving just ."
Crystal tears fell from those beautiful big eyes.
Yu Qingjia gently pulled her into an embrace, knowing the pain of losing friends.
"Sister Qingjia, it’s raining. Do you think it will snow soon?"
"Maybe! The year is about to pass again."
Raindrops outside hit the glass, producing a pleasant tinkling sound.
The two girls were like stars drifting in the galaxy, small yet striving to shine brightly.
Inhaling the orchid-like scent of Wang Yiran nearby, Yu Qingjia felt a sense of contentnt. She thought, wouldn’t it be nice if things stayed this way?
"Sister Qingjia!"
"What is it?"
"Let’s be best friends forever! The kind of genuine best friends."
"Haha! We are best friends for life. Nothing can separate us."
Under the mysterious, cool light, Wang Yiran’s face was so fresh and natural, beautiful yet full of vitality.
"Qingjia, I think there’s a little kitten owing next door."
"...It’s Qi Qi’s kitten."
"Qingjia, shouldn’t we block our ears? Listening to soone else’s secrets doesn’t feel right."
"They really are too much! Even here, they have the little black cat with them."
The two stopped talking and lay quietly, but the faint sounds made them both feel uneasy.
"This is so annoying! I can’t sleep." Wang Yiran was a bit embarrassed and slightly annoyed.
"Calm your mind, and you’ll be fine."
"How can I calm my mind? Now there’s already a picture in my head."
Yu Qingjia looked at her in surprise: "Your imagination is running wild."
"When did they start being together?"
"I don’t know. Maybe during the first half of the year when they traveled to the island country together!"
"They even went traveling?"
Wang Yiran was surprised; she hadn’t expected them to go sowhere so far away.
"Many people in the group love traveling."
"Sister Qingjia, let’s go traveling too when we have ti! I’ve never seen a genuine ’pure-blood’ group before."
"Traveling is fine, just not with them. We’re the best ones anyway."
"Haha, Sister Qingjia, your competitive spirit is really sothing else."
Wang Yiran also found herself unable to sleep and sat up instead.
"Sister Qingjia, what should we perform in the next show?"
"Anything but ’Little Butterfly.’ I really don’t like that one."
"Why not? That’s one of our group’s most famous pieces!"
"Because it’s a bloody, sorrowful story. I don’t like it."
"Alright then, let’s perform ’Spring Sumr Festival’ together!"
Yu Qingjia thought for a mont and smiled: "Okay! I love that pure song—it’s life born within heaven and earth and returning to nature."
The two chatted and laughed, and Wang Yiran gradually started to feel sleepy.
Her speech beca slurred as she slowly drifted into dreams.
Yu Qingjia looked at Wang Yiran, who resembled a sleeping beauty, and felt she was like the incarnation of blooming flowers.
She truly wished that their youth would stop fleeting, forever remaining in a cycle of the four seasons.
In spring, they were blossoming peach flowers; in sumr, they were clear lotus blooms.
In autumn, they were fiery maple leaves; in winter, they were pure falling snow.
Unable to resist, she gently tapped the cute little nose of the person before her.
Happiness overflowed in her heart.
Wang Yiran, who was now drooling in her sleep, muttered sothing incoherent, turned over, and continued sleeping.
Knock knock!
Just about to rest, Yu Qingjia checked her phone, only to find a ssage from Li Jiaqi.
This surprised her while also thrilling her heart.
"Sister Qingjia, what are you up to?"
"Nothing much, just idling around."
"There’s a variety show. Want to join for it?"
"Of course! I’m too idle over here."
Yu Qingjia hadn’t expected a resource recomndation from her and felt slightly disappointed yet happy.
"CoolCool Video invested in a self-produced variety show, inviting as the main guest."
"I thought of asking you to co as a special guest for a few episodes."
Looking at the ssage from her forr friend, Yu Qingjia hesitated.
She glanced at Wang Yiran beside her.
But after all, this was a rare external opportunity, and she really didn’t want to let it slip away.
After the disbandnt of Tian’ou Group, good resources in the market were almost impossible for their team to secure.
This variety show was clearly funded by Li Jiaqi’s patron.
Though it was a small production, it had high fan-retention potential.
And since it would be broadcast on a major platform like CoolCool, there was a chance it could go viral.
"Thank you, Jiaqi. Has Galaxy approved this already?"
Li Jiaqi quickly sent back a reply:
"Hmph! The good resources at Galaxy all go to Xia Jin, and the rest aren’t worth dividing up."
"I got this resource, and even Mr. Shen must be over the moon about it."
Yu Qingjia instantly understood—Li Jiaqi must have had a falling out with Xia Jin.
She knew the two were in the sa group for filming.
Nowadays, neither of them seed to listen to the company anymore.
Each had their own connections, but Yu Qingjia still wondered why Li Jiaqi hadn’t terminated her contract with Galaxy.
Actually, Galaxy hadn’t invested heavily in her; even if they filed lawsuits, it wouldn’t cause serious delays.
"Jiaqi, I’ll definitely go, as long as they want there."
Putting down her phone, Yu Qingjia’s heart raced uncontrollably. Would this be a bad idea?
She had thought about asking if Wang Yiran could co along too, but worried it might upset Li Jiaqi, she chose not to.
"It’s just a regular gig—don’t overthink it."
"Still, what exactly is Jiaqi trying to imply?"
"She already has her patron; she wouldn’t act like that again, would she?"
Yu Qingjia kept reassuring herself but still found it hard to fall asleep.
So thoughts are rely lies ant to comfort yourself.
She also knew that if she collaborated with Li Jiaqi again, it would surely spark major controversy within Galaxy.
