Regarding the matter of "two-timing", Jian Yan only 纠结了一下 and then didn't care about it anymore, because neither He Xiu nor Nan Si... actually had anything to do with her.

  On Saturday, after she finished her morning shift and got home, before she could even take a sip of water, she received a call from Lin Zhen. Remembering that Lin Zhen had told her before that she was going on a blind date on Saturday, Jian Yan thought that she must be calling to complain.

  Sure enough.

  "You should have seen that blind date guy. Could his hair be any greasier? How long has it been since he washed it?" Lin Zhen's tone was full of complaints. "And after he saw the car I was driving, he was convinced that I didn't like him because I thought he was poor! Heaven knows, I, Lin Zhen, have never judged a person by their money, okay? I've always judged by their looks!"

  Jian Yan: "…"

  "Also, I don't mind if a man earns less than me. As long as he has the ability and the drive to make progress. What's with him getting intimidated just because he saw my car? I haven't even told him how much money I have in my bank card yet!"

  Jian Yan pursed her dry lips, held the phone, and went to pour herself a glass of water. "What car were you driving?"

  "My Cayenne, baby."

  "… You didn't do it on purpose?"

  "It's just a Cayenne. I really hate those straight male chauvinists who can't stand women earning more than themselves."

  After taking a sip of water, Jian Yan asked her, "Then how will you explain it to your mom when you get home?"

  "I actually want to ask the matchmaker how they're going to explain it to me. Is my mom really that afraid I won't get married? She's sending me all sorts of oddballs."

  Jian Yan laughed and comforted her, "Don't worry. It's just that your fate hasn't arrived yet."

  Lin Zhen said sadly, "I'm just worried that it will never arrive in my lifetime."

  Jian Yan said, "If you're still not married when you're thirty-five, I'll marry you. I don't mind."

  "… I do mind! My sexual orientation is perfectly normal!"

  Jian Yan pursed her lips and smiled. "You could actually consider me. I'm pretty and I can make money. What else are you dissatisfied with, huh?"

  "…" After a long silence, Lin Zhen quickly shouted at her, "Stop using your allergy to men as an excuse. Go and have a relationship already!"

  After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone, as if she was really afraid that Jian Yan would pester her. And it wasn't really her fault. With Jian Yan's androphobia for so many years, Lin Zhen had long suspected her sexual orientation!

  After teasing Lin Zhen, Jian Yan was in a good mood and walked into her studio, turned on the computer, and prepared to continue drawing the illustration. Probably due to the habit she had developed recently, she also logged on to QQ.

  Most of the message reminders on her QQ were turned off, but she had never turned off the reminder for the audiobook production team group of "Shang Ke". She didn't know what kind of message she was afraid of missing.

  As soon as she logged in, she found that Majiang had sent a message to everyone in the group, saying that the official Weibo of the platform had already announced the news about the audiobook and asked everyone to help repost it.

  Jian Yan rarely managed her Weibo on a regular basis. Even when she logged in, she just checked for any news. But this time, she happened to have some time, so she went on Weibo and prepared to help repost it.

  Her Weibo had nearly four million followers, and the message reminders always remained in the hundreds of thousands. She didn't even bother to check them one by one. When she clicked on the latest mention reminder, Jian Yan found that Nan Si had already reposted the Weibo and even wrote, "The new song is finally going to be released. Are you happy :)"

  His Weibo had exploded. The little fairies who had been waiting for so long had finally caught him, and it was such exciting news about the release of a new song, and it was also related to the big IP "Shang Ke"!

  Jian Yan scrolled through his comments for a while. Instead of reposting from the platform, she reposted the message from his Weibo.

  Tangzhi v: Looking forward to it [rabbit emoji]

  Her Weibo also quickly became a hot topic. After looking at the comments left by everyone for a while, she clicked on Nan Si's Weibo and clicked the "Follow" button under his profile picture.

  This was the first time Jian Yan had actively followed someone. Although she had about a hundred people she was following on her Weibo, Lin Zhen had helped her follow most of them, and most of them were for work-related reasons.

  This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

  After following Nan Si, she remembered that she had browsed his Weibo before but hadn't finished. So she continued this "great cause".

  She really felt like a stalker.

  She mocked herself in her heart. Then Jian Yan thought that Nan Si was the person who was going to sing the theme song for her drama. It was reasonable for her to get to know his works for work-related reasons, right? Hmm.

  This browsing even brought out Nan Si's Weibo posts from three years ago—of course, this was also largely because Nan Si didn't post on Weibo very often.

  Seeing a recorded screen of a singing event, Jian Yan put on her headphones and clicked to play the video.

  "… We're going to sing a foreign language song? Hmm—well, okay then. What do you want to hear?" Nan Si's voice three years ago wasn't much different from now. It was just that he probably wasn't as busy as he is now at that time and still had time to chat with everyone.

  Many people on the public screen were typing "sukidayo". Then Nan Si's sexy voice came through the headphones again: "Singing this song again? I've sung it so many times. Okay, okay, just this one. Although I don't even know what 'sukidayo' means."

  As soon as he said that, the words "I like you" and "I love you" filled the screen, and even the bullet comments were all "I like you". Nan Si laughed, and Jian Yan's heart melted at his laugh: "Thank you. I like you all too."

  Jian Yan: "…………"

  Damn, are the schemes in the city this deep??

  Sure enough, now the entire screen of bullet comments became "The deepest path I've ever walked is Nan Si's scheme".

  This singing event was an internal one, and the whole event was only an hour long, not very long. While listening, she scrolled through her home page.

  Her home page was filled with editors and other illustrators. Besides posting their own works, they also shared their daily lives. And Jian Yan accidentally, was "blinded" by the Weibo post of one of the illustrators.

  This illustrator was one of the few married people among those she was following. She liked to draw the daily life between herself and her husband when she had nothing to do, and it always made the large number of single people on Weibo feel "abused". This wasn't the first time Jian Yan had seen it. This time, she showed off a lot of skincare products and snacks that her husband had brought back for her from abroad.

  Perhaps it was because Nan Si's singing was too emotional, but at this moment, Jian Yan actually felt a little envious. Those skincare products were all from expensive brands, and several of them were limited editions. That chocolate was also something she had wanted to eat for a long time...

  Jian Yan had had androphobia since she was very young. Over the years, she had never thought that she would fall in love, let alone get married. But now, she thought it would be really nice to have such a husband.

  There must be such happy marriages in the world, right?

  She pursed her lips slightly. She didn't need to envy others. She could buy things for herself.

  She found the official website of the skincare products, ordered a whole set for herself, and then went to buy the chocolate she had been longing for as well.

  After spending a large sum of money, Jian Yan felt a little 心疼，but she also felt relieved.

  The singing event was coming to an end. Jian Yan looked at the constantly blinking icon in the lower right corner and knew that there were new messages in the group.

  Jiang Jiang: I found out that Ms. Tangzhi and my male god Nan Si are mutual followers on Weibo!!

  Jiang Jiang: But I'm still only following them unidirectionally!!

  Jian Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly followed the Weibo accounts of everyone in the production team. After finishing this, she clicked into Nan Si's Weibo and took a look, and found that the follow arrow had indeed become two-way.

  She didn't know why, but her heart started beating rapidly again for no reason. She was once again certain that this person was indeed "poisonous".

  She closed the web page, clicked into the production team group, and sent a message: "I've followed everyone in the production team ^_^"

  Jiang Jiang: I saw it! I'm now mutual followers with Ms. Tangzhi! Thank you, Ms. Tangzhi! Now I'm just short of my male god!

  Jiang Jiang: Nan Si

  Wang Si: Your male god is following me [doge emoji]

  Jiang Jiang: ………………

  Nan Si: I've followed everyone in the production team ^_^

  Jiang Jiang: … I don't know why, but with your explanations, it makes things even more suspicious.

  A moment later.

  Jiang Jiang: Ahhhhh! My male god is really following me! I'm so happy that I'm bubbling with joy!

  Wang Si: Can we kick this crazy woman out, Majiang?

  Majiang: The crazy woman you're talking about is our female lead ^_^

  Wang Si: That's what makes it so despairing...

  Jiang Jiang: My male god is following me. I'm in a good mood, so I won't argue with you ^_^

  Wang Si: …

  Jian Yan laughed. Jiang Jiang and Wang Si must have a very good relationship.

  "Ahem."

  The QQ icon suddenly "coughed" twice, indicating that there was a new system message. Jian Yan clicked on the small speaker icon and found that it was a friend request, from Nan Si. A friend request from Nan Si.

  Jian Yan froze in front of the computer. Nan Si? Why did Nan Si want to add her as a friend? Could it be that he was adding everyone in the production team as a friend??

  Thinking about it, it seemed quite possible. So she clicked the option "Agree and add the other person as a friend".

  "You are now friends with Nan Si. Why not say hello?"

  The system sent an automatic prompt message. Jian Yan placed her hands on the keyboard but didn't know how to greet him.

  Nan Si: Hello, Ms. Tangzhi.

  Nan Si's message was sent to her before she could type anything. After thinking for a while, Jian Yan replied, "Hello, Mr. Nan Si~"

  Nan Si: You don't have to call me "Mr.", Ms. Tangzhi. You're being too polite [laughing and crying emoji]

  Tangzhi: Then you don't have to call me "Ms. Tangzhi" either [chuckle emoji]

  Nan Si: You really are a teacher. I really like the clothes you designed.

  Tangzhi: Thank you. You're too kind.

  Tangzhi: By the way, did you add everyone in the production team as a friend?

  Two seconds later.

  Nan Si: Yeah :)

  Jian Yan let out a sigh of relief. So that was really the case... She had thought that Nan Si was a very aloof person, but it turned out that he was quite approachable.

  Nan Si: I'm honored to have the opportunity to cooperate with you this time, Ms. Tangzhi.

  Tangzhi: It's the same for me. I listened to your songs, and they're great.

  Nan Si: Let's not keep complimenting each other like this. It's kind of embarrassing [laughing and crying emoji]

  Tangzhi: Okay, 23333

  Nan Si: "Shang Ke" has just ended recently, right?

  Tangzhi: Yes.

  Nan Si: Then what are you busy with recently, Ms. Tangzhi? :)
