184 The Fearless Han Yixuan
Ye Xun felt more and more that her decision to come here today was the worst possible one.
From the first sentence of their meeting to the dinner in the snack shop at this moment, the three girls had chatted about many topics. From Pei Ningle’s music career, to the Queen of Divine Tunes Chang Wen, and then to the city of Rongdu… After changing topics so many times, they had never mentioned the name ‘Wang Heng’.
Clearly, the reason they gathered today, besides Pei Ningle’s good news, was because of Wang Heng.
However, Han Yixuan didn’t mention him at all, and Pei Ningle didn’t seem to think much about it, just focusing on sharing her joy. So it was even more inconvenient for Ye Xun to bring up this topic. She was originally the youngest and thinnest-skinned of the three, sensitive but with poor acting skills, so she could only remain silent.
Halfway through the red oil wontons in her bowl, Han Yixuan suddenly pulled a tissue, wiped the corner of her mouth, and asked, “Little Le, is the phone you’re using now still that keypad phone?”
Pei Ningle was busy burying her head in finishing the Dan Dan noodles. Hearing this, she looked up and answered vaguely, “Mhm, mhm.”
Han Yixuan: “You’ve received so much sponsorship money, why haven’t you bought yourself a new phone?”
Pei Ningle chewed for a long time, swallowed, and said, “I’ve already changed my phone, look, look!”
The girl took out her phone. Sure enough, it was no longer that old keypad phone, but still a low-priced phone. Han Yixuan estimated it was probably around a thousand yuan?
Ye Xun finally said a word, “Sister Little Le is very frugal, even though she earns quite a lot…”
Pei Ningle shook her head and said seriously, “I didn’t feel it when I was at home before, but when I really relied on myself to make money and eat, I found that money runs out very quickly. If I’m not frugal, I could really starve myself!”
Han Yixuan suddenly looked at Ye Xun and smiled. “Among the three of us, only Little Le relies on herself to make money and eat. So Little Xun and I don’t have such awareness.”
Ye Xun’s face lowered slightly, staring at the Zhong dumplings in the bowl, her eyes solemn. “Yeah…”
Was it an illusion? She felt that when Han Yixuan said the word ‘awareness’, it seemed to have a meaningful feeling?

In dorm 414, Wang Heng stood beside Fu Hanwen’s desk—this tutoring session had lasted for more than half an hour, but progress was still slow.
In Wang Heng’s view, his roommate still had an unclear understanding of some basic problems. Although everyone got good scores in the college entrance exam math, linear algebra and high school math were obviously two different things. And Fu Hanwen seemed not to have a solid grasp of the basic understanding of linear algebra.
So Wang Heng asked earnestly, “If we regard linear algebra as a building, then what part of the building should determinants and matrices be? Think about it, just like derivatives and limits in advanced mathematics…”
Fu Hanwen immediately slapped the table. “I understand, it’s the foundation!”
Wang Heng: “…What you said is correct, but why does it sound weird?”
Fu Hanwen: “…”
Just then, Wang Heng’s phone rang. He took out his phone from his pocket and saw that the caller ID was Han Yixuan.
What was going on? What did she want by contacting him proactively?
While Wang Heng was thinking, he heard Fu Hanwen say, “Is it a girl again?”
“Uh…”
“Go ahead, answer the phone. I won’t be jealous of you.” With that, Fu Hanwen lowered his head and continued reading.
Although his roommate’s tone was very peaceful, Wang Heng still walked to the balcony first, closed the door, and then answered the call.
“Hello, is this Boss Wang?” As soon as the call connected, the girl’s smiling voice rang out, “I have something to discuss with you.”
Wang Heng: “What is it?”
Han Yixuan: “I’m with Pei Ningle now, and we chatted a bit. She said she has to write songs and learn new instruments recently, lots of things to do, so…”
“So what?”
As he asked, Wang Heng already had a guess.
Han Yixuan: “So I was thinking, she might need more help, like the kind from a manager. Speaking of which, you are her manager, but you also seem to have a lot of things to do.”
Wang Heng: “You want to come and help?”
Han Yixuan: “Yes. Didn’t you say you wanted me to be an assistant? Besides investment and such, I can also help with Pei Ningle’s affairs.”
Wang Heng didn’t agree immediately, but asked first, “Have you already discussed this with Pei Ningle?”
Han Yixuan admitted immediately, “Of course. She also hopes I can accompany her more. After all, this child is quite afraid of loneliness, and besides music, she is often confused about many other things…”
Wang Heng thought for a moment. There was no suitable reason to refuse, and it seemed there was no need to refuse either.
So he replied, “Alright then. When we have time, let’s meet and discuss it, and sign a new contract.”
Han Yixuan said happily, “Mhm, mhm, okay!”

Pei Ningle’s daily performance was about to begin, so at this moment they had arrived at the entrance of the bar. And Han Yixuan and Ye Xun stood in front of her.
Hanging up the call with Wang Heng, Han Yixuan smiled. “He agreed. Little Le, I’m also your manager from now on… well, I can’t say manager, I should say manager’s assistant, right?”
Pei Ningle said happily, “That’s great!”
And Ye Xun beside them was still smiling, but it was a bit hard to maintain this smile.
The voice leaking from Han Yixuan’s phone just now was indeed Wang Heng’s voice, Ye Xun could tell. And from the tone of Han Yixuan talking to him, it wasn’t hard to hear that their relationship was indeed very good. The so-called boyfriend and girlfriend, was probably true… right?
And regarding Pei Ningle’s affairs, Han Yixuan also took the initiative to help, which seemed to have the feeling of a wife following her husband.
And what about herself? She was still a high school sophomore. Even if she wanted to come and help, her tense daily life simply wouldn’t allow it.
Thinking of this, Ye Xun became even more melancholic.
Of course, it was too early to say give up now. After all… the school Wang Heng was in seemed to also recruit liberal arts students?
She took out her phone and checked immediately, suddenly full of confidence in the future again.
It turned out that the University of Electronic Science and Technology not only recruited liberal arts students, but its strength in foreign language translation seemed quite good! And English was exactly her strong point.
Ye Xun laughed instantly.
Han Yixuan beside her couldn’t help but feel her heart beat faster—what is this little sister with high combat power thinking? Why did her expression suddenly change?
Pei Ningle still didn’t notice the subtle changes in the expressions of the two ‘best friends’ and said to herself, “I’m going to start singing soon. Do you all want to come in and listen?”
Ye Xun smiled and waved her hand. “I’m a minor. It’s inconvenient to go in and drink.”
Han Yixuan asked tentatively, “How about we send you home first?”
Ye Xun pointed to the subway station not far away. “It’s okay, no need to trouble you! I’ll be home soon by subway. You guys go in.”
“Then…” Han Yixuan said cautiously, “goodbye?”
“Mhm, mhm, goodbye two sisters, I’m going back!”
Smiling, Ye Xun turned and left.
Han Yixuan stared at Ye Xun’s back, her smile gradually fading.
Pei Ningle suddenly asked, “Little Xuan, what are you thinking about?”
Han Yixuan: “I think… I also want to learn martial arts a little.”
Pei Ningle: “?”
