Apart from Su Yunxiu, the other two had their own thoughts.

When Lin Qingwan read the situation, she wondered if she should help her best friend so that she wouldn’t fall into the big bad wolf’s trap again.

Yu Wenci, on the other hand, was wondering… about how he could make this shiny third wheel disappear.

At first, he thought that Su Yunxiu had only invited him, so after dealing with Yu Zitong, he assumed that there was no one else. Unexpectedly, the moment the door was opened and he saw Lin Qingwan and was shocked.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was normal. If they were eating alone, she would not have arranged to meet at home.

He was the one who was blinded by joy and lost his basic judgment.

“By the way, Xiuxiu, have you bought the plane ticket to Beijing on the first?”

“Not yet.” When she was almost done eating, she put down her chopsticks and continued, “I’m preparing to buy it two days in advance. There are still more than ten days left, so there’s no hurry.”

“Going to the capital alone?” Yu Wenci suddenly asked her.

“Yes, I’m going to work, so I’m alone.”

Yu Wenci didn’t say anything, but his expression was thoughtful.

When hotpot session was over, Su Yunxiu sent them to the door, but Lin Qingwan stopped Yu Wenci from going downstairs.

Outside, the moon was bright as day. The surrounding flowers and trees were illuminated, and the shadows of Lin Qingwan and Yu Wenci were lengthened by the light.

“Mr. Yu, I’ll be frank.” Lin Qingwan stopped him and raised her head slightly. “Do you have ill intentions towards my Xiuxiu?”

“Xiuxiu didn’t notice it, but I saw it clearly from the side. Your behavior towards Xiuxiu is not ordinary.”

Yu Wenci was not angry. His thin lips moved slightly. “Continue.”

“I just want to ask if you’re serious. If you’re serious, I won’t object. I might even support you. But if you approach her just because it’s novel, then I… I’ll beat you up.”

Her tone in the last sentence was clearly lacking in confidence.

Why?

Because if they really fought, she was definitely not this person’s match. She could only threaten him.

“According to the media, Miss Lin is smart, but I don’t think that’s the case.”

Lin Qingwan asked, “What do you mean?”

Yu Wenci remained calm. He raised his chin slightly and said coldly, “Miss Lin, are you interested in working with me?”

“What?”

Lin Qingwan was clearly not discussing collaboration just now, but the man did not answer the question she asked. She did not understand what he was up to.

Yu Wenci slowly curled his lips. For some reason, Lin Qingwan felt a chill run down her spine.

After Su Yunxiu rented a house, her days were on the right track. Every day, she would go to the supermarket at two in the morning and chat with Lin Qingwan at night. The days passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Yunxiu did not know what was going on with Lin Qingwan, but a few days ago, she was suddenly pulled into a group chat. There were only a few people in the group chat, and Su Yunxiu was about to leave and ask Lin Qingwan what that was about.

In the end, everyone in the group chat popped up to welcome her. There were not many people inside, and they were mostly people they knew. However, she could only recognize Yu Wenci, his sister, and Chen Zexi. She did not know who the other two were from their profile pictures.

Lin Qingwan sent her a private message to explain that they were all friends in the group and that they could take care of one another if anything happened in the future. She told her not to leave the group. Su Yunxiu agreed, and the sisters started chatting about other topics.

At the same time, the teachers of the training institute also knew that she was going to the capital. They knew that this was a rare opportunity. Everyone wanted to get to the highest stage. However, they knew their own capabilities could not compare to hers at all, so it was not surprising that this opportunity fell on her.

Su Yunxiu had a good personality and was generous. In addition, she was capable, to begin with. Back then, she had entered the best dance academy with first-place results. Now that her alma mater had invited her specifically, they could only be happy for her.

While they were resting in the office, someone suddenly asked: “Right, Xiuxiu, will you come back?”

With this question, everyone fell silent as they looked at her.

Everyone knew what this meant.

The person-in-charge of a major dance troupe would also be present at the dance academy’s performance.

Gold would always shine. Su Yunxiu’s foundation and ability were good enough to be chosen. If she went, it meant that she might not come back.

Who didn’t want to develop themselves? It was just that some of them had already gotten married and had children here. If they stayed here for the rest of their lives, they could only be dance teachers.

Su Yunxiu was different. She was still young and unmarried, so she could chase her rainbow.

“I’m not sure. I can’t tell what will happen next.”

Fantasy was beautiful, but the reality was often cruel.

She wasn’t sure she would be chosen, so she didn’t want to put the cart before the horse.

“Little Su should choose to come back, right? Isn’t her boyfriend here? Speaking of which, Little Su, you’ve been with your boyfriend for so long. Have you never thought of getting married?”

No one knew that she had already broken up, so they asked out of curiosity.

“We broke up.”

Su Yunxiu frowned for a few seconds before calming down and putting on a relaxed front.

Her colleagues looked at one another. The female teacher who said this just now felt a little guilty. For a moment, no one spoke about this topic.

Fortunately, Su Yunxiu had a good personality and did not seem to mind when this topic was mentioned.

She had classes in the afternoon and went home as usual. The moment she entered the neighborhood, she was seized by a strange feeling again. She kept feeling that someone was following her.

From the moment she entered the neighborhood, this feeling became stronger and stronger. Every time she turned around, there was no one behind her. Su Yunxiu did not relax because of this. She felt uneasy and her hand that was holding the phone in front of her chest to make her feel a trace of security was actually trembling. Her mind was extremely tense.

The girl quickened her pace. When she returned home and closed the door, she leaned against the door and heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that her hands were covered in a cold sweat. Her nervousness was relieved for a moment.

This was not the first time she had felt this way. Ever since she moved here, she had felt this way every time she came home from work. She was not sure if it was an illusion caused by the pressure of work, so she did not dare to call the police unnecessarily.

She also asked the security guard at the door to investigate the surveillance camera. The answer she got was that no strangers had entered.

Usually, there was no such intense panic, but tonight, her mood was especially heavy. Uneasiness swept through her entire body.

She took a shower and forced herself to relax. There was only the sound of her phone in the quiet room. She was not in the mood to eat dinner, so Su Yunxiu lay on the bed early that night.

When she looked at her phone, she shifted her attention.

Tonight, the group was still very lively. Most of the time, Lin Qingwan, Chen Zexi, and the two other unknown members were chatting. Su Yunxiu and Yu Wenci would occasionally chime in.

Just as she was about to relax, Su Yunxiu suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. They were getting closer and clearer.

Her heart which had yet to settle down was pounding again.
