"Collapsar, a collapsed star, also known as a black hole. As for the meaning..."
Yu Wenli faltered for a moment, a rare occurrence.
Then, as if remembering something, he covered his face with his hand, unable to suppress a smile.
Revealing a pair of eyes that curved like a crescent moon.
He looked remarkably like a shy little fox.
"Actually, there's no special meaning. It was just because I was young and into the non-mainstream phase. I felt the name was lonely, like an escape from the crowd.
Later, it became the band's name because black holes can contain all unknowns and fears, which I found quite captivating."
"Ah~"
Wen Tingxue blinked blankly.
"You were into non-mainstream stuff too?"
Honestly, if he hadn't admitted it himself, she would never have associated the term "non-mainstream" with him.
It felt like they were from different worlds.
Yu Wenli paused for a moment, then felt compelled to emphasize, "I'm a person."
Wen Tingxue chuckled.
Oh.
The overall design was simple yet elegant.
With just one glance, he recognized it as the young lady's handiwork.
He couldn't quite describe the feeling at that moment.
It was as if a cat had scratched him, leaving a slight unease in his heart.
"Do you mind if I open it, Brother?"
Chi Zerui, ignoring the flicker of discomfort, swayed the gift in his hand and asked with a smile.
Wen Tingxue nodded. "Go ahead. I just don't know if you'll like it."
Chi Zerui subconsciously replied, "I like anything Yi Yi Sister gives me."
Yu Wenli and Mu Chen instantly lifted their eyelids.
The gift was a model sports car, red and black, with a very stylish design.
Wen Tingxue had spent a long time choosing it, worried that Chi Zerui wouldn't like it.
Fortunately, Chi Zerui's expression told her he was quite pleased.
"You have good taste~"
Chi Zerui held the model and examined it for a long time, still beaming.
"Brother really likes it. Thank you."
He tilted his head and smiled at her, his eyes incredibly alluring.
Then he beckoned for a servant to take the gift to the storage room on the second floor.
...
Chi Zerui loved to have fun, so the birthday party was naturally not dull.
Games followed one after another, and the laughter and chatter never ceased.
Wen Tingxue wasn't accustomed to such a lively atmosphere, so Yu Wenli sat with her on the sofa.
After a while, Wen Tingxue started to feel a bit embarrassed.
She playfully pouted and urged him to go join the fun.
Yu Wenli couldn't refuse and agreed to take her home after the cake cutting.
Chi Zerui came over to get some wine and overheard their conversation, casually interjecting.
"If you're bored, why not let Luo'er show you around the villa?"
The young girl trailing behind him smiled shyly, "Yes, it's quite fun here. Shall we take a walk?"
Wen Tingxue thought that Xu Ke Xin was at work and Xie Jin Yi needed to sleep.
Furthermore, Chi Zerui's new girlfriend seemed like a nice person, and she didn't want to refuse.
...
After the two girls left, Chi Zerui dragged Yu Wenli to play a racing game.
You You and Mu Chen stood behind, watching.
Midway through a round, Yu Wenli suddenly spoke, "Changed your taste recently?"
"Huh?"
Chi Zerui was stunned for a second before realizing he was referring to Hao Luo'er.
"Not exactly. It's a period of being single. If someone confessed, I accepted."
His nonchalant reply indicated he didn't take this relationship too seriously.
However...
Mu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes. "Didn't you dislike these studious types before?"
Although Hao Luo'er attended an elite school, her grades were top-notch.
She consistently ranked at the top in exams, the epitome of an ideal student.
Based on Chi Zerui's past preferences, he would never have been interested in such a girl.
Even if they shamelessly confessed.
Moreover, Hao Luo'er had a pure appearance, the complete opposite of the alluring and fiery type Chi Zerui usually fancied.
In fact, Hao Luo'er bore a slight resemblance to Wen Tingxue.
Especially her eyes.
Thinking about it, Yu Jie's eyes also bore some resemblance to Wen Tingxue's.
Yu Jie was the only ex-girlfriend Chi Zerui had successfully reconciled with.
Mu Chen didn't want his suspicions to be true, but all the coincidences made him have to wonder.
Chi Zerui's hand controlling the game accelerator paused.
On the screen, Yu Wenli's car quickly overtook Chi Zerui's, even picking up speed.
Mu Chen stared at Chi Zerui's noticeably slowed hand and curved his lips. "A Rui, you're not interested in this type, are you?"
Are you perhaps developing feelings for Wen Tingxue?
"How could that be!"
Chi Zerui was about to deny it, but his hand on the accelerator suddenly sped up.
"It's just for a taste, like a side dish. I can't like it forever. We'll break up in a couple of days."
The night view of the villa complex was indeed beautiful. Wen Tingxue followed Hao Luo'er, casually touring a few places.
She discovered that Hao Luo'er knew the area quite well and had a wonderful personality.
No matter what she said, she was always smiling, and most importantly, she was incredibly caring.
"Tired?"
Hao Luo'er pointed to a lounge chair not far away and said softly.
"Let's sit down and rest for a bit. Once you've rested, we can go for another stroll outside.
By the time we get back, it will be almost time to cut the cake."
Wen Tingxue nodded. Hao Luo'er immediately rummaged through her bag for a handkerchief.
She preemptively wiped away the light dust on the lounge chair.
Wen Tingxue considered herself to be quite caring, but she hadn't expected someone to be even more so.
She was meticulously thoughtful.
"Alright, sit down~"
Hao Luo'er smiled and pulled her down to sit.
Wen Tingxue couldn't help but exclaim, "Chi Zerui is so lucky to have a girlfriend like you. It must be the blessing from his past life."
Even as a woman, she found herself liking Hao Luo'er after interacting with her.
What had Chi Zerui done to deserve her favor?
"Actually..."
Hao Luo'er smiled, her eyes dimming slightly. "He didn't find me; I found him."
"Ah?"
Wen Tingxue was stunned.
Before Hao Luo'er could reply, some commotion erupted ahead.
Looking up, Yu Jie had arrived with a group of people.
Her eyes, red from crying, were filled with hatred.
"Wen Tingxue! You two-timing slut! Let's see if I don't rip your face apart today! What will you use to seduce men then!"
Sorry, I've been experiencing serious writer's block lately. I'll post this chapter first and sort out the outline. The remaining two chapters will be available tomorrow morning. I'm truly sorry! I'll adjust the writing speed as quickly as possible. It's so slow that I want to cry myself (崩溃).
