In her second year of high school, Chen Tian transferred from a small county town to Yujing.

At her new school, everyone was saying that a mysterious man lived across the street from her.

They said he was a bar singer who sang every night for free; they said he sold both his talent and his body, to men and women alike;

They also said that the better his voice sounded, the uglier he was.

Chen Tian didn't like men and had no interest in them.

But that last rumor...

She glanced at the guy sitting on the sofa, head bowed as he strummed his guitar and sang her favorite song, "Qi Li Xiang."

Noticing her eyes fixed on him, the singer looked up and clicked his tongue. "Are you that smitten?"

Chen Tian ignored him. She looked him over from head to toe, then from toe to head, examining him carefully before reaching a conclusion.

"You're actually not ugly."

The other guy: ?

When had Yuan Yue's face been reduced to merely "not ugly"?

-

Yuan Yue, the light of hope in the urban village, a man who lives by the principle that as long as his dreams don't die, neither will he. Lead singer/guitarist/bassist/keyboardist/drummer of an unknown band. He once publicly declared, "One person should be like an entire band."

Later, he did just that. One original song made him famous nationwide, and his looks and personality won him countless fans, instantly making him one of the industry's top idols.

But soon, someone anonymously released a video from several years earlier, with a five-character caption: "My groomed girlfriend."

The video showed Yuan Yue standing face-to-face with a girl in a school uniform beneath the school's green trees. He bent down to say something to her, then smiled and patted her head.

It was obvious their relationship was more than ordinary! The video immediately set off a heated discussion.

Bystander 1: Isn't she underage?

Bystander 2: He should be canceled.

Fan 1: No way!! Our guy is clearly and indisputably single every single day. It must be a misunderstanding!!

Fan 2: He never claimed to be single, but that doesn't mean you can make assumptions from a picture. Stop spreading rumors.

Fan 3: == They're just ordinary siblings. Anyway, go listen to his new song.

That very night, a trending post appeared out of nowhere.

@Yuan Yue: She's not all grown up yet. I'm working on it.

Chen Tian, who happened to see the post: ? How did you reject me in that video?
