Liu Manman always felt that Chi Yao paid too much attention to Shi Nian Nian, whether it was the accident at the basketball court, the end-of-term review, or today’s treasure hunt.
In order to make Shi Nian Nian happy, Chi Yao proactively offered the voucher he found.
Liu Manman only learned about this later.
Since then, she has been feeling uneasy in her heart.
Even then Shi Nian Nian cheerfully distributed the snacks to her.
Seeing Shi Nian Nian slumped over the table, shaking her head without any image, Liu Manman felt that she was thinking too much.
Perhaps it was really due to her family’s instructions. Chi Yao caring so much only showed he was a responsible person, and she hadn’t misjudged him.
Liu Manman thought to herself.

Shen Xiaoxiao from Group 12: Dear team members, tonight the camp will host a singing competition. Each group needs to nominate at least three people to perform. Is there anyone willing to volunteer?
As soon as this message was sent, it was as if a stone was thrown into the sea without a trace. After fifteen minutes of contemplation, none of the fifty or so people in the group chat made a sound.
Yu Nian thought to herself, a singing competition ah. The female lead must definitely participate ah. It’s such a great opportunity to showcase her talent.
So, she turned her head to glance at Liu Manman, who was tidying up her bed, getting ready to rest. “Manman, did you see the group message?” she asked.
“What?” Liu Manman stopped what she was doing and turned to ask.
Yu Nian picked up her phone and walked over, holding it out to her. “Look. Tonight, the camp is organizing a singing competition, and each group needs at least three participants. Do you want to give it a try?”
Liu Manman stared at the message and contemplated for a while, her face showing hesitation.
In fact, she had seen this message earlier. Although she was a bit eager inside, since nobody had spoken up, she felt a bit awkward. She was afraid of being accused of seeking attention.
Therefore, Liu Manman could only express in a tactful manner, “With so many people here, maybe everyone wants to participate.”
“Then let’s all participate,” Yu Nian said casually. “Look at the requirements. It says ‘no less than three people,’ and it doesn’t mention a maximum number.”
Saying this, Yu Nian turned to ask other roommates if anyone was willing to join, but everyone shook their heads, indicating they only wanted to be responsible spectators.
“Manman, why don’t you sign up? No one has done so yet, and your voice sounds so good. Besides, who knows, maybe Chi Yao will sing at that time,” Yu Nian purposely brought up the male lead to encourage her.
Sure enough, when Liu Manman heard Chi Yao’s name, her expression loosened a bit. However, the group remained eerily quiet. Despite feeling that she might become the target of criticism, she signed up.
As a result, a glint of determination flashed in her eyes. She raised her gaze to Yu Nian in front of her and took the initiative to reach out and grab Yu Nian’s arm. With a soft tone, imbued with the nasal accent typical of southern regions, Liu Manman coquettishly said to Yu Nian, “Nian Nian, how about you join me in signin’ up? I don’t wanna do it alone…”
Liu Manman trailed off, slightly lowering her head, displaying a hint of shyness. “I’m a bit scared.”
Oh, man! Liu Manman’s few words sparked a strong protective instinct within Yu Nian, she had a feeling not afraid of dying.
“Sure ah,” Yu Nian replied generously. “I’ll go sign up with the group leader right away.”
Liu Manman nodded and gave Yu Nian a gentle smile. “Nian Nian, thank you.”
Feeling a bit embarrassed by Liu Manman’s gratitude, Yu Nian scratched her head and chuckled, “It’s nothing, really. But I’m not a great singer, so I might hold you back. I’ll try to sing softly when the time comes.”
“It’s okay,” Liu Manman reassured Yu Nian softly when she heard this. Yet, deep down, she began to strategize. As long as she could shine the brightest on stage, she didn’t mind others’ position.
In the end, because no one else in Yu Nian’s group besides her and Liu Manman volunteered, Shen Xiaoxiao, as the group leader, reluctantly had to put her own name forward to make up the numbers and fulfill the task assigned by the teacher.
“What?! You’re going to sing?”
During dinner that night, Yu Nian mentioned she was going to perform on stage with Liu Manman. Zhang Chuanze looked utterly shocked upon hearing this.
Yu Nian shrugged, feeling helpless. “There was no other choice ah. No one else from our group was going, and we were short of participants. In the end, even the group leader had to sacrifice herself at the last minute.”
“Seems like we’re completely opposite in that regard. We’re all eager to join in,” Zhang Chuanze chuckled.
Yu Nian clicked her tongue in response, noting that teenage boys indeed had a strong desire to perform.
“Did you two go then?” Although Yu Nian asked about both of them, her gaze specifically landed on Li Xiang, waiting for his response.
Li Xiang lifted his eyelids to glance at Yu Nian and replied calmly, “No, we didn’t.”
Yu Nian had long anticipated that the blind male lead, who often acted indifferent and aloof, would definitely not be interested in such lively activities. However, hearing his response still left her somewhat disappointed.
Out of the corner of her eye, Yu Nian discreetly glanced at Liu Manman.
She saw Liu Manman’s eyelids drooped, and after hearing Li Xiang’s words, a wave of disappointment swept through her. It seemed as if her heartache was on the verge of overflowing.
Yu Nian reached out and patted Liu Manman’s back to offer comfort. Then, she stared at Li Xiang discontentedly and huffed childishly, “Well, then you’ll be cheering for our Manman, right?”
Though it sounded like a question, when combined with Yu Nian’s somewhat threatening gaze, it seemed as if Li Xiang dared to say a “no,” she had a way of making him swallow his refusal.
Li Xiang could only nod and respond softly, “En, we will.”
Li Xiang quietly added, ‘Just giving support to this little heartless.’
I think it’s icky that Liu Manman looks down on Yu Nian – constantly thinking that there’s no possible way someone would prefer Niannian over her đŸ˜© get over yourself, girl! And realize that you’re barking up the wrong tree!
