Chapter 98: How Can This Be in the Mandarin Music World!

Looking at Chu Fei’s earnest smile, Coco felt as if she had punched a pillow—soft and yielding, without resistance.

Wait a minute, big brother, you’re making me look completely unreasonable!

“All right, enough scolding, Coco,” Xixi interjected awkwardly on her behalf. “He’s being polite. I don’t think he did it on purpose!”

“But, but, what about him following us!” Coco protested loudly, “He followed us with bad intentions, for sure! Otherwise, why would he apologize? Only a guilty person apologizes!”

After shouting that, Coco fixed her gaze on Chu Fei, silently urging him to retaliate, to hurl back insults.

But Chu Fei remained unshaken, his smile unwavering. He even began to comfort Coco.

“Are you having a rough time lately? Is that why you’re overthinking things? It’s okay, vent all you want. As long as you feel better.”

Now it seemed even more as if Coco was the villain.

Xixi completely took Chu Fei’s side. She thought, with a temperament like his and such good looks, surely he couldn’t be some kind of psycho!

“Why are you… treating me like this?” Coco stared at Chu Fei in disbelief, as if she were a girl abandoned after being played by a scumbag.

“Come on, Coco,” Xixi added, driving the knife in, “You were the one who made him apologize. He’s already done it. Don’t keep pushing now.”

I’m the one being unreasonable? Seriously, girl, do your principles follow your face?

But with this atmosphere, Coco really did feel like the bad guy.

“Well… your apology just now wasn’t sincere enough, you know?” Coco could only find herself an out. “Otherwise, why would I scold you? This time I’ll forgive you. If you want to argue, you’d never win against me.”

Chu Fei smiled, “Of course, I’d never win. Who with any class goes around picking fights in the street?”

“Oh, I don’t mean you. I mean real capable people wouldn’t stoop to that sort of thing.”

“Don’t get me wrong, I really don’t mean you. Only people with low EQ and IQ would argue for no reason. I actually look down on those people from the bottom of my heart. But really, I’m not talking about you!”

Coco: “…”

Thank you, I’ve been thoroughly insulted.

Xixi tried to mediate, “Come on, it’s all just a misunderstanding. Coco, why don’t you apologize too, and let’s move on?”

Seeing Chu Fei’s good attitude, Coco could only say, “All right, I’ll apologize too. I’m not petty—my emotions just got the better of me earlier.”

“You want to apologize to me?” Chu Fei pretended to be surprised.

Coco replied, “Yes, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled at you.”

“Oh, thank you.”

In the next second, Chu Fei’s smile vanished instantly, his expression changing faster than a face-changing opera performer.

“Well, now that you’ve apologized, hurry up and go die, you stupid idiot.”

All that patient buildup was just for this final jab—how satisfying!

With those words left behind, Chu Fei turned and walked away, smiling.

The sudden transformation left both girls dumbfounded.

This guy…

Hiss—actually, don’t even say it.

After a moment, Coco finally came to her senses.

“He just insulted me, didn’t he?” she asked, half in disbelief.

Xixi nodded, “Yep, he called you a stupid idiot and told you to go die.”

“He’s just making fools of us!” Coco exploded with rage. “I’m going to tear his mouth apart, I swear I will!”

Xixi quickly grabbed her, “Calm down! He’s not worth it. And his name is Chu Fei—maybe he’s the one who beat up Jiang Zechen last time!”

“Why not call Boss Jiang? Isn’t he been looking for Chu Fei? Let him come and handle this for us!”

Coco thought Xixi’s idea to borrow a knife to kill was brilliant, so she immediately called Jiang Longtan.

Jiang Longtan had been searching for Chu Fei these past days but couldn’t find him. The moment he heard Chu Fei’s whereabouts, he immediately gathered his men and rushed over!

…

Inside private room 201.

Chu Fei had just sat down when Jiang Yunqi arrived, sporting her signature long, vibrant pink hair and blue contacts.

She wore a brown spaghetti-strap crop top that accentuated her curves, full and elastic, with a plaid shirt layered on top for modesty. Her shorts were denim, and unlike Coco’s more voluptuous figure, Jiang Yunqi was all lean, with not an ounce of extra flesh.

Her makeup was flawless, though she was the kind of girl who looked beautiful even without it. Made up, she was simply adding a touch of brilliance to perfection.

Chu Fei had expected Jiang Yunqi to arrive alone.

To his surprise, behind her came Guan Ya, meticulously dressed.

Unlike Jiang Yunqi’s style, Guan Ya preferred cooler, more aloof black dresses, which elevated her entire presence. Her makeup was also cold and striking, and with her features, she was the very image of an ice queen.

One warm, one cool—the contrast was striking.

With this lineup walking down the street, Chu Fei could already imagine the staggering number of double-takes they’d attract!

“Hello there,” Jiang Yunqi greeted Chu Fei, then turned to Guan Ya to explain.

“I ran into Guan Guan at the entrance, so I invited her in.”

“It really was a coincidence,” Guan Ya said with a somewhat awkward smile.

In truth, she had followed Jiang Yunqi from the dorm, pretending to bump into her here by chance.

How could it not be a coincidence?

Since Chu Fei’s inexplicable declaration that he’d be her “father” last time, she hadn’t seen him.

Though they had chatted privately since then, his attitude remained distant and lukewarm. Sometimes he didn’t even reply to her messages, making it clear he was keeping his distance.

She knew if she didn’t make her presence felt soon, Chu Fei would forget about her entirely.

Chu Fei glanced at Guan Ya. If things hadn’t happened with Song Yalan, he wouldn’t mind bringing Guan Ya into the mix. But given their current situation, Guan Ya was destined to be the third wheel tonight.

But no matter—Chu Fei had plenty of ways to turn a third wheel into an ally.

As always, the pinnacle of skill was using girls to help court other girls.

After warmly inviting them to sit, Chu Fei asked what they’d like to drink.

Both wanted beer, remembering that Chu Fei didn’t like hard liquor.

“Don’t just sit there—sing a song!” Chu Fei handed the microphone to Jiang Yunqi.

Jiang Yunqi recalled what Roman once told her: always display a woman’s charm. So she picked a song and began to sing to Chu Fei, pouring all her feelings into it.

Chu Fei noticed Guan Ya naturally put on her noise-canceling headphones and thought she was being a bit snobbish.

But as soon as Jiang Yunqi began singing, his soul seemed to drift from his body, lost and unable to find its way back—just like her melody.

After the song ended, Chu Fei stared into space. What the hell was that?

A ten-star forbidden technique?!

Jiang Yunqi asked, “Well? Don’t you think my singing could lead Chinese pop music to the world stage?”

“Chinese pop doesn’t deserve that fate!” Chu Fei retorted bluntly. “I don’t know who your target audience is, but as for the victims, I’m certainly the only one.”

Since Guan Ya had her noise-canceling headphones on, he truly was the sole victim.

Guan Ya offered sincerely, “Successor to Chinese pop, I think you can eat whatever you want, but please, don’t sing whatever you want.”

“Why are you so mean? You might not sing better than her!” Chu Fei defended Jiang Yunqi.

Guan Ya turned to Jiang Yunqi. “Promise me, never sing for anyone else again. I’d get jealous.”

“Oh, you two!” Jiang Yunqi pouted coquettishly, pulling Chu Fei toward her. “You’re my boyfriend—how could you side with Guan Guan against me?!”

Guan Ya: “!!!”

So it’s all out in the open now?
