When Coco finished singing her last line, Xue Yunfei and Tang Tu’s playing had reached their last note, too. Their cooperation was flawless. It was clear that they rehearsed beforehand.

Tang Tu’s concert had ended perfectly until now, and he had officially graduated from Capital Music University.

Respecting the tradition, Tang Tu and the four guests he invited all walked to the front of the stage at the same time. Tang Tu stood in the middle, with Xue Yunfei and Coco standing to his left and Shen Mozhen and Liu Man standing to his right.

The applause was deafening, and Tang Tu’s fans were shouting incessantly under the stage. The videographer of the live-stream gave a long close-up to the five of them.

“I feel like I haven’t had enough. The concert’s time is too short.”

“I still want to watch Tang Tu play the violin and listen to Coco sing.”

“It will probably be very hard to see such a combination in the future.”

“Tang Tu and Shen Mozhen’s graduation concerts are both very outstanding! They are no different from real celebrities’ concerts.”

“Tang Tu is a celebrity anyway. Didn’t you hear his fans screaming crazily in the audience?”

The group photo was taken, and the five of them walked off stage together.

Coco invited Liu Man, “Let’s have some midnight snacks together later. Yunfei ge and I have something to talk to you about. I will pay for the bill!”

TL’s Note: When you are putting “Ge” behind someone’s name, you are referring to them as a male older friend. It’s like “brother” but not in a religious way.

Liu Man had just wanted to accept her invitation when she saw Yu Zhan holding a bouquet and smiling. He was standing right at the backstage entrance, welcoming her. Today, the flowers were still roses except they were now red.

Coco and Xue Yunfei had seen Yu Zhan that night at the cast’s dinner party. They were both very surprised to see this person again, especially on this occasion.

What made them even more surprised was how Liu Man joyfully went up to welcome him and naturally took over the bouquet. She introduced him openly, “He’s my boyfriend, Yu Zhan.”

Tang Tu’s smile instantly vanished completely, and he incredulously stared at Yu Zhan.

He wasn’t feeling okay at all. He didn’t expect Liu Man’s boyfriend was this vet — The same stingy man who took her to eat a cheap barbecue on the night before New Year!

How could he be content with this result?

He lost to such a man.

What taste did Liu Man have? What did she want when she chose this man? Just because this man looked handsome?

But Tang Tu had a pretty good appearance, too.

Tang Tu’s mind, which was just recovering from Liu Man’s rejection, returned to it’s initial, devastating state.

Yu Zhan lightly glanced at the upset Tang Tu — the man who lost to him. Yu Zhan didn’t think he was important anyway.

He originally didn’t want to put it out in the open, but because Tang Tu insisted on inviting Liu Man to this concert, Yu Zhan thought he shouldn’t have been blamed to claim his spot as Liu Man’s boyfriend.

It was Shen Mozhen’s first time seeing Yu Zhan. Maybe because she was an outsider and was more objective and clear, or because she was a girl, she had a different opinion than Tang Tu. She thought Liu Man’s boyfriend didn’t have such a simple identity, and his appearance also matched Liu Man’s.

Tang Tu lost to this man, and it was a fair game!

At this time, the five of them did not completely get out from the cameras’ view. The live-streaming company’s videographer was the best at catching interesting points. He adjusted the direction the camera was facing and live-broadcasted this scene to all the netizens.

And that was when everyone saw Liu Man pick over the bouquet of roses from a man, smiling at him. They were flirting with each other through glances!

“Wtf, that person cannot be Hanfu Goddess’s boyfriend!”

“He is. Look at how close they are.”

“No wonder she was able to perform with Tang Tu without any burden. Her boyfriend was sitting under the stage, watching her!”

“Hehe, I think her boyfriend looks so handsome. I’ve already kept a screenshot of him.”

“You are such a girl who’s obsessed with handsome boys.”

“Only you men are allowed to be obsessed with the Hanfu Goddess, but you don’t allow us, women, to like her boyfriend?”

“Am I the only one who noticed how bad Tang Tu’s expression turned into?”

“That’s not strange. Who can put a smile on when they meet their love rival?”

“Does anyone here know the identity of Liu Man’s boyfriend?” A user, nicknamed “NANA”, asked.

“He’s probably just a normal person. He’s so handsome; if he’s a celebrity, he would already be exposed.”

“I remember that yesterday night, Princess Man’s Wei Bo posted a picture of a bouquet of roses. Those flowers must’ve also been given to her by her boyfriend after Shen Mozhen’s concert ended.”

“This person’s pretty romantic. My boyfriend only gives me flowers on my birthdays.”

“Hehe. I’ve been married for five years, and my husband hasn’t given me a single flower.”

“Liu Man and her boyfriend are still in the infatuation period. After some time, they would probably break up, too.” — NANA

“Why does this NANA always talk so weirdly?”

“She’s feeling sour and jealous, of course. She’s just salty. Let’s ignore her.”

…

In just this short period, Hanfu Goddess’s boyfriend got screen-shotted in the live-stream, and the picture got spread all over the internet. Everyone learned his appearance and could now understand why Liu Man didn’t like such an outstanding Tang Tu but chose a not well-known man. This man was very handsome.

Liu Man told Yu Zhan that Coco wanted to treat her to midnight snacks. Yu Zhan was very reasonable and didn’t take up her socializing time. After knowing where they were eating and setting up the time he would come to pick her up, he drove away.

Tang Tu and Shen Mozhen did not come to this meal. Tang Tu didn’t because he was in a bad mood, and Shen Mozhen didn’t because she wasn’t familiar with Xue Yunfei and Coco, so she thought it would be awkward if they ate together.

Li Xiaoru, Tao Zhiyao, and Miao Xiaomei were also quite cunning. They guessed that these two popular musicians had business to do with Liu Man, so they waved goodbye at Liu Man and left first.

Xue Yunfei and Coco came in two separate cars. Liu Man got on Coco’s red roadster while Xue Yunfei followed them in his own Audi.

“I didn’t expect you to get a boyfriend so fast. I’m three years older than you, but I’ve never been in a relationship before,” Coco teased Liu Man as she drove, “I can see that that vet is taking good care of you.”

Coco had to be shrewd to fight her way up from the bottom. She quickly thought of the cast’s dinner party that night, when Yu Zhan and the two rich boys showed up. They weren’t here to have dinner, they were there because Yu Zhan was going to see Liu Man!

Coco had an intuition that the vet’s identity might not be so simple as he said it was.

Because she was poor once, she was desperate once, and she was defamed by others once. She knew rich and powerful men would never become friends with a normal person unless that normal person isn’t normal.

Besides, there was a scene that the shrewd Coco remembered very clearly. Initially, He Lushen and Cheng Sheng were already agreeing to eat with Qiu Jing. However, because of one meaningful glance from the vet, they changed their minds and declined the offer before leaving with the vet.

TL’s Note: He Lushen is the CEO of a huge company related to the entertainment circle while Cheng Sheng is the boss of Quan Jing Hotel.

Even He Lushen had to obey him. What kind of background did this person have?

But Coco knew she shouldn’t have to care about any of this. Liu Man was such a good girl, and Coco believed that man would definitely treasure her.
