[I downloaded it as soon as it was out! It’s amazing! I’m going to the record store later to buy a physical copy for my collection.]

[I’m so in LOVE with Ni Yun’s songs! You HAVE to watch the music video, it’s sooo romantic!]

Xu Xiyan scrolled through the comments: the gossip surrounding the two TV shows had turned into a discussion about Ni Yun’s new song.

According to the statistics on music streaming sites, 1.28 million users had listened to Ni Yun’s new song “Maybe” within 12 hours of its release. The number of downloads hit a record high, and the song immediately rose to the top of the New Release chart.

The song also generated a record number of comments and reviews on the internet.

[It’s soooooooo good!]

[I love Ni Yun’s songs, gotta collect them all...]

[Hey, did any of you notice there’s actually a female lead in Ni Yun’s MV this time around? This is new, none of his other MVs have a female lead!]

The two of them met up in the private room of a BBQ restaurant. Fang Xiaocheng gaped at the food Xu Xiyan had ordered: there was enough to feed a party of seven or eight. She asked, “Is it payday for you? What’s with all the food?”

Xu Xiyan had ordered enough food to cover the entire table, and had even asked the waiter to uncork a bottle of red wine. She was determined to get happily drunk with her friend. “I don’t have to wait until payday to treat a good friend to a meal, do I?”

She laughed and added, “I can’t help it. I’m in a good mood today.”

“Yes, I can tell. A woman nourished by love is like a flower in full bloom,” said Fang Xiaocheng with a teasing smile.

She deliberately put on an exaggerated thinking face as she asked, “Oh wait, I seem to recall someone sobbing their eyes out not so long ago, wailing about her broken heart and swearing to never fall in love again for the rest of her life. Gee, who was that, I wonder?”

Xu Xiyan blushed. She covered her warm, tomato-red cheeks with her hands as she shot Fang Xiaocheng a Look. “Okay, that’s enough. Don’t ever bring that up again, I’m warning you.”

The pork belly sizzling on the BBQ grill was now fully cooked, and the two women dug in. Xu Xiyan chewed on the grilled meat as she said, “Orange, do you remember the first time we ate barbecue? I still remember the taste. I told myself then, I need to work hard and make a ton of money, enough money to afford to eat barbecue every day.”

“I remember. Back then, I had no idea your life had been so difficult that you’d never tried barbecue before. I mean, you were from the wealthy Xu family, for goodness sake.”

Fang Xiaocheng picked up a piece of grilled meat with her chopsticks and placed it in Xu Xiyan’s bowl.

Xu Xiyan lifted her wine glass and clinked glasses with Fang Xiaocheng. She threw back her head and downed her wine.

The red wine had a bitter aftertaste, and it burned her throat a little, but Xu Xiyan was filled only with sweet, treacly happiness. “Well, all my dreams and wishes have come true. This is the life I’ve always wanted. From now on, I won’t have to be jealous of you and Dazhi, ever again.”
