Chapter 68: Everything She Knew Came From the Pink Pig!

Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS

Jiang Yiran seemed to have figured everything out. With gritted teeth, he spat out, “My manager!”

Tan Song was stunned.

Jiang Yiran did not look like he was lying. He…genuinely cared about Tan Song.

Tan Song was not someone who liked to live in denial.

However, the realization still made him feel very conflicted.

When he was at his peak, he was inundated with praise and expectations, but when he hit rock bottom, everyone ignored him.

How could he live up to their expectations?

Jiang Yiran’s mind worked quickly. He immediately looked up. “Give me two days, no, just one day. I’ll give you a proper explanation tomorrow.”

It was no wonder Tan Song seemed to have been hiding away all these years, overlooked and invisible in the company. He did not even attend the “Rookie Assembly” contest through their agency.

Jiang Yiran had naively thought that Tan Song had isolated himself because he was stuck in a depressive spiral. He thought that was why Tan Song had cut off all contact with the outside world.

Now, Jiang Yiran realized that the problem did not just lie within Tan Song but also with their agency.

Jiang Yiran felt nauseous when he thought about how he might have actually stolen what belonged to Tan Song.

“There’s no need,” Tan Song abruptly called out.

Jiang Yiran froze as he looked at Tan Song in disbelief.

Tan Song lowered his eyes. “With the way that I am, there’s no need to dwell in the past anymore…Thank you for your admiration.”

Jiang Yiran’s eyes widened as he watched Tan Song walk past him.

“Tan Song.”

He urgently called out to Tan Song. When Tan Song looked back, he took a deep breath. “I’ve already been brave. Can you be brave too?”

As Tan Song dazedly stared in confusion, Jiang Yiran decided to push aside all thoughts about how awkward this would be.

He just wanted to express himself.

“Just like Qi Wu, I want to see you shine brightly once more!”

Silence fell. The four individuals eavesdropping by the door exchanged glances.

Jiang Xuxu paused for a moment before asking, “Do you think they’re done? Are they fighting?”

“It wouldn’t be silent if they’re fighting, right?”

Tong Luo looked conflicted.

At that moment, Qi Wu, who was originally pulled over to the door by Jiang Xuxu, quietly stepped backward.

Jiang Xuxu noticed her shuffling away and looked back. “Don’t worry. We’ll only be here for a while longer.”

As soon as she said that, the door suddenly opened.

“Aah!”

Jiang Xuxu almost fell, but Qi Wu managed to pull her back up in time.

She turned around in shock to find Qi Wu looking at her innocently and saying, “I was going to say, they’re done.”

Jiang Xuxu was speechless.

Qi Wu did not mention anything of the sort!

Tan Song and Jiang Yiran silently looked at the four individuals who had claimed they were going back to rest but were lurking by the door.

Jiang Yiran had never felt so embarrassed before.

“You guys didn’t leave in the end,” he said through gritted teeth.

Everyone chose to remain silent in the face of his accusation. Qi Wu was the only one who honestly answered, “Xuxu was worried you guys would fight.”

Jiang Xuxu gave Qi Wu a horrified look.

Qi Wu just threw her under the bus!

As expected, the moment she turned around, Jiang Yiran had locked onto her. Jiang Xuxu wanted to cry but could not muster up any tears. Cautiously, she started, “Hear me out…

She knew how proud Jiang Yiran was. If he found out they had witnessed his emotional confession the entire time, he would most likely explode with anger.

Jiang Yiran’s face had turned dark with fury. “Jiang Xuxu!”

“Shoot! Jiang Yiran, come on!”

When she saw Jiang Yiran charging toward her, Jiang Xuxu was so scared that she immediately jumped up and ran away.

Jiang Yiran instantly chased after her.

However, if one looked closely, they would find the tips of his ears had turned completely red. He was using his anger and playful response to mask his embarrassment.

Tong Luo shrugged helplessly. “Let’s head back too.”

The others nodded.

Tan Song and Qi Wu were walking at the back of the group when Tan Song suddenly turned to look at Qi Wu.

“Jiang Yiran is right. It’s time for me to be brave for once.”

It was time for him to pay more attention to the people around him. He was not the only one who was hurt by the neglect he suffered.

After everyone returned to their rooms, Qi Wu picked up her phone and walked to the bathroom.

Jiang Xuxu, who followed her back to their room, did not think much of it. She assumed Qi Wu wanted to have a private conversation with her family.

Qi Wu dialed Jin Si’s number.

For some reason, Jin Si, who usually answered her calls within seconds, made Qi Wu wait for a long time.

Nevertheless, there was not a single hint of impatience on her face. She waited patiently for Jin Si to answer the call.

Finally, just as the call was about to end, Jin Si answered the phone. “What is

“Jin Si,” Qi Wu softly called out to him.

“What do you want?”

Jin Si’s response was cold, even colder than usual.

Qi Wu tilted her head, seemingly curious. “Are you angry? Why?” Jin Si was so infuriated that he laughed.

His tone remained icy as he said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”

“I meant that message for you.”

Qi Wu’s unhurried voice cut in, causing Jin Si’s finger to stop as it hovered over the End Call button.

He did not speak, but Qi Wu could hear his breathing over the phone. He was listening.

She continued, “I’ll work hard and support you.”

Silence fell.

Had he picked up a daughter instead who was going to support him in his old age?

Jin Si could not help but be amused by the word “support.” The frustration he felt dissipated as a small smile spread across his face.

“You? Support me?” he repeated.

“Your language teacher would be shocked if they heard that,” he continued.

Qi Wu solemnly corrected him. “I don’t have a language teacher.”

Everything she knew came from the pink pig!

Jin Si cleared his throat. “Why didn’t you call me?”

He refused to admit that he cared, but he took it for granted that she would call him since he was the one who had taken Qi Wu in.

“Chang Xun said your identity is special, and you can’t appear on the show at all. Not even if it’s just your voice,” Qi Wu obediently replied.

Chang Xun was not wrong. Any connection to Jin Si would cause a significant stir in the entertainment industry.

Jin Si’s eyes narrowed dangerously, but his tone remained as calm as ever. “You believed him? That’s just a lie he tells to fool kids.”

“No,” she replied, pouting.

Her resolute tone caused Jin Si’s eyes to darken as he thought she was defending Chang Xun.

The next thing he knew, Qi Wu softly muttered, “I’m not a child.”

Silence fell once more.

Jin Si was speechless when he heard that. She sounded somewhat upset in her response..
