Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Zheng Yanyan, this girl really goes wild when people are around. In the end, it was still Zhou Yuwen who had to drag her off stage, but Shen Yu’s feelings were quite complicated.

Ever since Zhou Yuwen had agreed to sing with her, she had been eagerly awaiting this day. From start to finish, everything was supposed to be perfect.

From holding hands to the deep, meaningful eye contact between the two of them.

Just like the lyrics of the song, "I give you an old CD♫, listen—that’s our love story♫"

After the song finished, the applause was thunderous.

Shen Yu even heard the cheers from below, saying how well-matched the two of them were.

But then, out of nowhere, a wild card appeared.

When Zheng Yanyan kissed Zhou Yuwen, Shen Yu was truly dumbfounded, to say the least, speechless.

And when time was up, someone from below reminded them to get off stage as there were more performances to come.

Zhou Yuwen even grabbed Zheng Yanyan.

"Quit making a fool of yourself here!"

He grabbed her, but he also took Zheng Yanyan’s hand; was he leaving Shen Yu all alone there?

At that moment, Shen Yu’s heart was bizarrely and unexpectedly pricked. Luckily, her reflexes were quick, and she got off stage following Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan, but no one would understand her feelings.

Strangely enough, despite the noisy atmosphere on site, Shen Yu felt as though she could hear people gossiping, saying, "Look, she obviously isn’t that guy’s girlfriend."

The other guy was pulling his girlfriend’s hand and walking off.

"My God, what was she thinking to sing with a guy who already has a girlfriend?"

"Hehe!"

Being pulled by Zhou Yuwen, Zheng Yanyan was still happily waving to the audience below. The honor that was supposed to be hers alone was snatched away by the seemingly carefree Zheng Yanyan.

This makeshift stage didn’t have a proper backstage, so after coming down, they were inevitably surrounded by a bunch of clueless people. Not to mention the onlookers from the student body, even the student staff working at the performance were curious enough to come over and ask.

"What’s the situation with you guys? Weren’t you supposed to get off after the song?"

"Well, what can I do? My boyfriend is singing with another girl, how could I just sit there?"

Zheng Yanyan answered first.

Actually, the sophomore girls were just looking for some gossip. Seeing Zheng Yanyan’s response, they suspiciously asked, "Is she your girlfriend?"

Zheng Yanyan looked towards Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen could only remain silent. What could he say? If he didn’t speak, wouldn’t it ruin Zheng Yanyan’s reputation?

"Of course, she is. Can’t you speak?" Zheng Yanyan, thick-skinned as ever, didn’t wait for Zhou Yuwen to answer and already draped her arm around Zhou Yuwen’s neck, clinging onto him intimately.

Shen Yu watched Zheng Yanyan, who was distorting the truth, without any expression on her face. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

This was probably Shen Yu’s first-time facing failure in her life.

Everything was supposed to belong to her.

According to her expectations, after singing with Zhou Yuwen, they were supposed to walk off stage hand in hand amidst the calling voices, and everyone would think Zhou Yuwen was her boyfriend.

But,

As Shen Yu watched Zheng Yanyan, a flash of...

"Want to take a photo?"

In such a performance, a photo was definitely in order. Normally, after getting off stage, Zhou Yuwen and Shen Yu would have taken a picture together.

But now, Zheng Yanyan had barged in and taken over the narrative very actively.

She ran over and hugged Shen Yu’s waist with a cheery expression, "Shen Yu and I are close friends, and Zhou Yuwen is my boyfriend. I had to go dance, so I didn’t sing, and since Shen Yu wanted to sing, I lent Zhou Yuwen to her. It’s not as complicated as you think,"

"Take a photo? Sure, why not? Come, Shen Yu."

With one arm around Shen Yu’s waist and the other pulling Zhou Yuwen, she placed herself in the middle, managing her expressions to perfect a playful wink.

"The guy should lean towards his girlfriend," said the part-time photographer, a sophomore student.

Zheng Yanyan pulled Zhou Yuwen a bit closer to herself.

Just as everyone was ready to take the photo,

Shen Yu, who had been expressionless all along, impatiently removed Zheng Yanyan’s hand from her waist.

"?" Zheng Yanyan was curious.

"I’m not feeling well; you guys go ahead with the photo."

After these words, Shen Yu turned to leave.

"Shen Yu!"

After taking about a dozen steps, Zheng Yanyan called out and chased after her.

Shen Yu looked at Zheng Yanyan coldly.

Zheng Yanyan still wore a smile, "Shen Yu, you started this game, don’t blame me. And I told you before, to chase a guy you have to be bold. If you had made your feelings clear to Zhou Yuwen earlier, how could it be my turn? You’re not mad about this, are you? There’s no need, we agreed, right? It’s all fair game,"

Shen Yu just stood there, looking at Zheng Yanyan with an impassive face, silently watching her performance.

For the first time in her life, Shen Yu felt the urge to slap someone.

But Shen Yu’s upbringing was indeed proper. She simply thought that Zheng Yanyan looked extremely ugly at that moment. Wasn’t this the very picture of a villain triumphing? What was there to be proud of?

Was it something to brag about, kissing a guy whose relationship status wasn’t clear in front of so many people?

"Hey, won’t you say something?" Zheng Yanyan held Shen Yu’s hand, asking with a smile.

Shen Yu pulled her hand free from Zheng Yanyan’s grasp.
