The first top lady

Bu Xiuchen saw Jiang Jinxiao forcefully dragging someone away. When he passed by him, he found that the person being pulled was Yan Zhi!

is her!

He paused for a moment, and before he could even feel surprised, he began to feel hatred towards Jiang Jinxiao.

To his surprise, he finally saw Yan Zhi again.

What is disgusting is how Jiang Jinxiao could treat Yan Zhi like this.

Very few people in the circle know that Jiang Jinxiao is married and his wife is Yan Zhi.

Bu Xiuchen is one of them!

But when he knew about their relationship, he probably couldn't say he was in the entertainment industry.

Bu Xiuchen and Jiang Jinxiao both debuted through a singing competition, and they were contestants in the same session.

In terms of singing skills, Jiang Jinxiao was no competitor to Bu Xiuchen. Before being shortlisted for the top 32, Bu Xiuchen hadn't even noticed Jiang Jinxiao.

But one day, when he passed by the backstage of the stage, he heard a song that touched his soul. He stopped involuntarily and looked in the direction of the sound, where he saw a thin figure facing the wall and performing a singing demonstration.

He tilted his head and stared for a long time before he realized that there was a man sitting in front of the figure with his legs crossed.

"Hey." Bu Xiuchen stopped a passing staff member and asked, "Who are they?"

"They..." The staff member took a few more glances, then looked around Yan Zhi who was blocking the way before he could see the people inside. "Oh, you mean Jiang Jinxiao. He's a popular contestant this year, the most popular! You have to work hard too!"

"Jiang Jinxiao..." Bu Xiuchen heard of this "competitor" for the first time. "Popularity?"

He couldn't help but sneer.

It turns out it’s all about the face!

I thought he was a powerful one.

That's right! If Jiang Jinxiao really had singing skills, he wouldn't let the girl in front of him teach him word by word.

Bu Xiuchen began to pay attention to Jiang Jinxiao singing on the stage. It was the same song, but when it was sung by Jiang Jinxiao, it lacked some flavor.

Not only did the taste go wrong, even the pitch was wrong.

Is such a person worthy of being his opponent?

He shook his head and chuckled in disdain, but caught a glimpse of Yan Zhi who was also standing in the audience.

Jiang Jinxiao was singing on the stage, and Yan Zhi was singing along in the audience.

Bu Xiu fell into a silent world, with only Yan Zhi's singing echoing in his ears, and the world before him was only him and Yan Zhi.

But he clearly saw that Yan Zhi's eyes were only on Jiang Jinxiao on the stage.

They are lovers!

This is what Bu Xiuchen overheard that day.

He felt that this was the sneakiest thing he had ever done in his life.

After that competition, he and Jiang Jinxiao both successfully entered the top 16 in the country.

There is still one month left before the national top eight trials. During this month, the sixteen contestants need to undergo intensive training in the company.

More than ten hours of vocal and dance training every day allowed these sixteen teenagers to thoroughly experience youth to the fullest.

Jiang Jinxiao had a little pocket money at that time, and from time to time he would invite a few people to have a drink after evening classes.

But Bu Xiuchen didn't have those conditions. His parents died young, and he was raised by his aunt. From the age of fourteen, he worked odd jobs. To fulfill his musical dreams, he took his only two thousand yuan and traveled to Beijing to register for that year's singing competition.

After entering the company's training, he only had two coins left in his pocket.

What made him happy was that during the training and competition period, the company provided three meals a day and unified accommodation, which temporarily provided him with food and accommodation.

Several times, after training at night, he saw Yan Zhi standing downstairs with a backpack, waiting for someone.

He knew that the person Yan Zhi was waiting for was Jiang Jinxiao.

Sometimes Yan Zhi could wait for Jiang Jinxiao, and Bu Xiuchen would watch the two figures gradually walk away until they could no longer be seen.

Sometimes Yan Zhi sat on the steps, waiting until he almost fell asleep, but Jiang Jinxiao still didn't come out.

In fact, Jiang Jinxiao had not finished his training yet, but he had already taken a step ahead of Yan Zhi and had made an appointment with someone to go out for a drink.

Bu Xiuchen knew the inside story, but Yan Zhi didn't. He just sat on the ground stupidly and continued to wait for Jiang Jinxiao.

Finally one night, Bu Xiuchen mustered up the courage and walked up to Yan Zhi, who hadn't waited for Jiang Jinxiao, and asked, "Hello, are you...waiting for someone?"

"Ah?" Yan Zhi glanced down at his watch. "No... He should be resting at this hour..."

Yan Zhi would come over every night. If Jiang Jinxiao didn’t come out before half past ten, it meant that they would not meet that night.

At that time, Yan Zhi, who was in love, would automatically find excuses for Jiang Jinxiao - maybe it was because he was too tired from training too late and had already fallen asleep, or maybe he was doing extra training and had no time to accompany her.

Bu Xiuchen knew exactly where Jiang Jinxiao was going, but he had no intention of telling Yan Zhi the truth.

He did have a little selfish motive, not wanting Jiang Jinxiao and Yan Zhi to meet. This way, he could stay with Yan Zhi for a while longer.

"Gulu——"

Bu Xiuchen's stomach growled twice at inopportune times.

"No, sorry..." His face suddenly turned red, full of embarrassment.

Three meals a day is simply not enough for athletes who train excessively every day.

So, everyone else would go out for a late-night snack after training. Bu Xiuchen was the only one who would quietly return to the dormitory, either turning on the tap to drink cold water or crawling into bed to sleep.

He just hoped that the night would pass quickly so that he could eat the delicious breakfast earlier.

"I'm hungry too!" Yan Zhi didn't laugh at him. Instead, as if suddenly interested, he snapped his fingers and said, "I know a place nearby that serves authentic snail noodles. I'll treat you! Let's go!"

Before Bu Xiuchen could react, Yan Zhi had already dragged him for half a mile.

People say that snail noodles stink, but he didn't taste any flavor in that bowl of snail noodles.

No! That was the most delicious bowl of snail rice noodle he had ever eaten.

Although the merchant was just a small mobile vendor.

The two of them squatted on the side of the road, each holding a bowl of snail noodles and started eating.

At the end of the meal, Yan Zhi raised his hand and casually wiped the corner of his mouth. He turned his head and looked at Bu Xiuchen beside him and said, "I recognize you! Bu, Xiu, Chen!"

Bu Xiuchen was stunned when his name was read out so solemnly, shocked and surprised.

"I watched your game from the audience." Yan Zhi said.

Bu Xiuchen's mind suddenly went blank.

Did she pay attention to my singing?

She wasn't just cheering for Jiang Jinxiao; she even came to watch me sing. I need to sing even harder in future competitions.

"I've watched everyone's competition," Yan Zhi added. "I think you sang the best. I hope you'll be the champion!"

Her tone was sincere, and she truly recognized Bu Xiuchen's abilities.

"I..." Bu Xiuchen's face was filled with smiles, but he also had many questions, "Why don't you want Jiang Jinxiao to take first place?"

Yan Zhi shook his head and said, "He is not worthy of her."

"Since you are such a great singer, why don't you sign up for the competition?" Bu Xiuchen said regretfully.

The singer auditions are for men and women to register separately and are held almost at the same time.

"I was planning to..." Yan Zhi stood up and threw the leftover soup and disposable bowls and chopsticks into the trash can. She seemed to have some regrets when she mentioned this.

It has always been her dream to stand on the stage.

She underwent three years of closed-door training in Country K and returned to China half a year ago to participate in a singing competition.

But Jiang Jinxiao said that he had already signed up for the competition and wanted to debut as a singer. However, his singing skills were not very good and he hoped Yan Zhi could help him.

Yan Zhi hesitated for a long time holding the registration form, until the last moment of registration, under Jiang Jinxiao's repeated persuasion, she decided to sacrifice her own future to fulfill Jiang Jinxiao's dream.

"It's okay, there's still a chance!" Yan Zhi comforted himself.

At worst, she can sign up for the competition again next year.

Little did they know that this delay would last for seven years.

Later, as Yan Zhi expected, Bu Xiuchen won the singing competition that year. Although Jiang Jinxiao only won fourth place, he attracted countless fans with his face, and his popularity even surpassed the champion.

Jiang Jinxiao made his debut. Despite the risk of his reputation being ruined, he resolutely fulfilled his promise and he and Yan Zhixiu got married, upgrading from lovers to husband and wife.

Their love was so pure in the past, they were willing to sacrifice themselves for each other, and no one expected that they would end up going their separate ways.

The last time Bu Xiuchen saw Yan Zhi was when he held the championship trophy high in his hand. He stood on tiptoe to look at the cheering crowd below the stage and saw Yan Zhi in a corner.

She looked happy too.

Are you happy for him?

He wanted to share this joy with Yan Zhi, but he couldn't find a reason. He didn't know what identity he should have in front of Yan Zhi.

Later, he could only look for traces of Yan Zhi's life from Jiang Jinxiao.

He just wanted to know whether Yan Zhi was living a good life after marriage.

Seven years later, Bu Xiuchen saw Yan Zhi again. She had changed a lot, no longer thin, but her face no longer had the smile she had before.

He probably had the answer in his heart - Yan Zhi's life was not good, and Jiang Jinxiao could no longer give her the happiness she wanted.

and so……

His chance has finally come!
