Quite awkward

The side effects of a hangover can last a whole day.

Qi Yu had a poor appetite in the evening. After taking a few bites of food, she put down her chopsticks and asked the waiter for a cup of warm tea.

The classmates were enjoying their meal when Xiang Wei felt craving for cigarettes and wanted to go out to buy some. Qi Yu, who had nothing to do, volunteered to run errands for her.

A pack of Marlboro Black Ice costs twenty-six yuan, and Qi Yu bought two packs at the convenience store next to the restaurant.

Xiang Wei occasionally feels like smoking and wants to smoke a cigarette when she is under a lot of pressure. However, she always avoids crowds when smoking so that others will not inhale secondhand smoke. Qi Yu doesn't mind it much.

This restaurant is very popular, with customers coming in and out all the time.

Qi Yu slowly moved to the stairs, lowered his head and stepped onto a step, then heard a familiar voice coming from above his head.

She paused and looked up. The two pairs of eyes of the Mu brothers were fixed on her.

Qi Yu had nowhere to hide and could only stand there.

She greeted them awkwardly: "Big brother, second brother."

Mu Yanqing looked down and noticed the two packs of cigarettes in her hand. A solemn look appeared on his originally calm face.

"Ayu, when did you learn to smoke?"

Qi Yu lowered his head to look at the cigarette, then raised his head to explain: "No, no, I bought it for a friend."

Mu Yanqing frowned again.

He didn't like Qi Yu having friends with bad habits like smoking, but he had no right to control others.

Seeing this, Mu Chenan snorted softly, walked down the stairs and stood beside Qi Yu, following her words and saying, "Brother, Qi Yu is not a child anymore. There are some things that you shouldn't care about her."

Qi Yu was stunned and stamped her feet anxiously: "It's really not me who smokes. Look at my phone. My friend transferred all the money to me."

Mu Yanqing glanced at her and nodded, then calmly reassured her, "I don't disbelieve you."

Mu Chenan curled the corners of his lips when no one was paying attention, feeling a little regretful that he had not been able to successfully sow discord.

"Then I'll go upstairs first. Goodbye, big brother!" Qi Yu's tone was filled with resentment.

Mu Yanqing understood her character and sighed softly.

"Wait, let me ask you, have you ever thought about signing with an entertainment company after graduation? I can help you contact them."

When Qi Yu wanted to be an actor, Mu Yanqing was against it.

This kind of work is unstable and full of uncertainty.

Especially in the big melting pot of the entertainment industry, even a pure and innocent girl may forget her original intention.

It's just that Qi Yu has a strong personality. She took the art exam alone and got a good ranking. Later, Mu Yanqing took a step back and chose to respect and support her.

Now that she is about to graduate, Mu Yanqing naturally wants to pave the way for her in advance so that her future life will be smooth and successful.

Mu Chenan wondered, "What kind of connections can a university teacher like you have?"

"Don't I have you? You have a friend in this business, someone I can trust."

"My friend's company won't sign fools either." Mu Chenan said casually.

While the two brothers were still discussing back and forth, Qi Yu calmly rejected Mu Yanqing's proposal.

"No, I have my own plans."

Graduation from university is a turning point. In the future, she only wants to rely on herself and does not want to continue to rely on the Mu family.

Furthermore, her eldest brother had just started a relationship and was even thinking of getting married quickly with Xu Nianhan. Qi Yu still hadn't completely let go of her love for him. She felt that she should avoid suspicion and reduce their contact.

Qi Yu climbed up the stairs, leaving behind only a thin and stubborn figure.

Mu Chenan scoffed at Qi Yu's refusal, which just saved him a trouble.

"Am I meddling too much..." Mu Yanqing sat in the car, thinking back to his encounter with Qi Yu just now, feeling inexplicably confused.

Mu Chenan glanced at the rearview mirror and continued with a smile, "Yeah, who wants to be controlled by a young girl? You've been controlling her for so many years, she must be feeling quite resentful. So, big brother, just live your own life."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yanqing lowered his eyes and reflected on himself.

He vaguely felt that what his brother said made some sense.

-

Xiang Wei had borrowed cigarettes from others to relieve her smoking addiction a long time ago, and she leaned against the window alone to get some fresh air.

Qi Yu returned to the box and stuffed two packs of cigarettes into her bag. Then she looked at the dense traffic outside the window and sighed deeply.

"What's wrong?"

“I’m about to graduate and I feel a little lost.”

The conversation with Mu Yanqing just now had some impact on Qi Yu's mood.

Xiang Wei comforted him, "It's okay. You're so beautiful, you'll definitely be able to make it as an actress."

"Well, I want to make a lot of money and buy a big house of my own."

Seventeen-year-old Qi Yu became interested in acting. She hoped that after systematic learning, she could use acting as a means of making a living.

As for whether you can become a shining star, it depends on fate.

Since you have decided to enter this circle, who doesn’t want to be famous?

Xiang Wei put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I'll go back to Beicheng and make a living. I'll definitely help you get rich."

Qi Yu raised her lips and smiled: "Well, this is called "If you become rich, don't forget me. I will wait for the day when you become rich."

Graduation is in half a month, and both of them cherish the last time they spend together.
