“Is it related to He Qisi?” Liu Man asked discreetly, careful of not angering Sun Weiwei.

“Yes. I guess you probably had already seen me liking and commenting on your Wei Bo. He unreasonably blamed me for not having the teamwork spirit just because of that single comment. Heh~~”

“You know my temper the most. I’d rather simply leave the team than being ordered around and not be allowed to complain. I don’t want to be nervous all the time about offending the ‘boss’. Anyway, there is nothing for me to miss. I just feel sorry for you and your other two friends, since I left as soon as they came. Don’t mind me; it’s okay if you guys still want to stay at ‘Happy Guo Guo.’ The end of the semester is coming, so I can actually use this time to relax, review, and prepare for the exams.”

Sun Weiwei’s tone sounded relaxing, but Liu Man felt her disappointment and melancholy.

Although “Happy Guo Guo” was He Qisi’s idea at the start, it was built on Sun Weiwei’s hard work. She used a pen and her thoughts to write all the scripts and the plots for the short videos to create hilarious scenes that fans enjoyed.

In Liu Man’s opinion, Sun Weiwei worked much harder than He Qisi, and she was the main person to thank for “Happy Guo Guo”’s success.

If she simply gave up now, wouldn’t she miss the team?

Besides, didn’t Sun Weiwei like He Qisi?

By doing this, was she completely giving up on this unreliable crush?

Liu Man’s head was full of confusion and questions, but she had no way to ask Sun Weiwei.

Sun Weiwei’s action led to a series of huge chain reactions.

First of all, there was no one to operate the “Happy Guo Guo” Wei Bo account. Chen Han temporarily took the job. He didn’t understand how Sun Weiwei operated on Wei Bo before. Before, every post Sun Weiwei sent had a certain humorous style she set up, which was similar to how Shi-senpai acted in the videos. The fans were easy to substitute the account for Shi-senpai, and the interactions were also more interesting.

Chen Han’s job used to be just a narrative. He only needed to read whatever Sun Weiwei wrote on her draft. He could’ve never written anything like she did, so he could only gaze helplessly at the Wei Bo page.

Secondly, Sun Weiwei quit on the day before Saturday. Before, she had already finished writing the script and plot for the 12th episode of “Shi-Senpai”. Since she was quitting, she did not do it quietly and deleted the entire script, not leaving any chance for He Qisi. He Qisi and the rest of them could not film at all without the script, so this week, “Happy Guo Guo” stopped updating.

Most importantly, Tao Zhiyao also personally called Sun Weiwei later. After realizing why she quit, Tao Zhiyao also announced that she was leaving, too.

And that was something big!

He Qisi immediately called her, pleading for her not to leave.

Tao Zhiyao said, “Why don’t you first beg Weiwei to come back?”

Of course, He Qisi wanted to beg Sun Weiwei to come back; however, that was impossible. Sun Weiwei blocked him on WeChat, and she did not pick up any of his calls. She rejected the idea of communicating with him.

Did he have to go all the way to the law major just to find her, risking that there would be no good results? He was now a cyber star, too, even though he wasn’t that famous. If he got seen by other classmates, what would he do with his dignity and face as a student leader and a senior?

Besides, why wouldn’t he be angry, seeing how Sun Weiwei face-slapped him just like that?

But when faced with Tao Zhiyao, his attitude was very good. The softness in his tone was probably never even heard by Sun Weiwei and Zhang Jiaojiao, “It’s Weiwei’s own choice when she quit. You shouldn’t join the fun.”

“I only joined ‘Happy Guo Guo’ because of Weiwei’s invitation. Since she left, I shouldn’t stay here anyway.”

“There’s not only her in ‘Happy Guo Guo,’ there’s also me and the others. Can’t you keep our dignity in mind…”

“Wait, we are not familiar with each other!” Tao Zhiyao interrupted him, “Besides, how many pennies do your dignity even cost?”

Her words choked He Qisi so much that he was speechless for quite a while.

Tao Zhiyao was ready to hang up when she thought of something else, “Oh, right. Stop sending me random and unexpected WeChat messages. ‘Good morning,’ ‘Good afternoon,’ ‘Good evening,’ are you the rooster in the mountains who likes announcing the time? Also, I’m not interested at all in any of your news, stories, or videos. Please stop sharing them with me. Thank you! Goodbye!”

He Qisi had never been blemished like this by anyone in his entire life. He almost spat out blood.

Tao Zhiyao avenged Sun Weiwei with her words. Mhm, she said those words intentionally. She wasn’t a flower in the greenhouse who didn’t know how society worked; she saw through He Qisi’s thoughts at first glance.

Sure, it was fine to pursue after her, but he shouldn’t have treated the other girls like fools.

If Sun Weiwei had known He Qisi persisted on and sent Tao Zhiyao messages every day on WeChat since he met her, Sun Weiwei probably would’ve quit a long time ago.

After Tao Zhiyao left, Jiang Chengfeng naturally quit, too.

He wasn’t a numskull, and he didn’t need to be a genius to figure out He Qisi didn’t like him at all. He didn’t have any friends in “Happy Guo Guo”, so what was even the point of staying here? Besides, he also needed to prepare for the exams.

As a result, the “Happy Guo Guo” which was just re-grouped, split into pieces again. This time, there were only the three founding members left, and “Happy Guo Guo”’s most brilliant time would forever stay here with this moment, too.

Since Sun Weiwei had left “Happy Guo Guo”, Liu Man was not obliged to continue her participation in filming the videos as a guest anymore. On the weekends, she could finally pay all her attention to attending Professor Su’s classes, and she could also spend the rest of her time letting her fingers rest and preparing for her performance onstage with Shen Mozhen.

Liu Man did not expect Tang Tu to take the initiative to call her and ask her to meet him.

It was Monday of next week. In the morning, she was in the self-study chamber, reviewing her English materials. Among all her courses, English 4 would be the first one they get tested on in the examination. After finishing the English 4 examination, it also meant that the end-of-semester exams had officially started.

Liu Man’s muted phone abruptly started vibrating. She took it out to look at the Caller ID: it was from Tang Tu.

She was hesitating. Should she directly hang up or not care about it?

Tang Tu was very patient. After a full minute, the phone was still vibrating, making a “vroom, vroom” noise, causing all the other students in the self-study chamber to turn around and look at it.

Liu Man chose to hang up.

After not even half a minute, Tang Tu called again. Vroom, vroom, vroom.

TL Note: Vroom isn’t the car engine lmao, it’s the phone vibrating.

Liu Man had no way but to hold the phone, walk out of the self-study chamber, and pick up at a corner where nobody paid attention to. Her voice was unfriendly, “Why are you calling me?”

Unexpectedly, Tang Tu’s soft laughter came from the other end.

“I thought you wouldn’t pick up.”

“Since you already thought so, then why did you continue to call me?”

Tang Tu did not answer her question, “I’m at school right now. Let’s meet. I have something to talk to you about.”

Her tone was serious.

“There’s no need for us to meet each other,” Liu Man was extremely against meeting him, “What is it? Can’t you tell me in a phone call?”

“It’s about your father.”

She froze on the spot.
