Chapter 864: Chapter 863: Youth

And the woman left so freely and unrestrained, like a gentle breeze under the bright moon, seemingly carrying the spirit of the breeze and the moon with her.

Yeqian’s manager, Brother Wu, followed her and briefed Qiao Xiaren about Yeqian’s recent mood and schedule. These past few days, he had indeed been in a bad mood, but Brother Wu thought it was just due to work pressure and didn’t pay much attention.

Little did he know, just a few days later, Yeqian took to Weibo to announce the cancellation of his concert, and he was stunned for a good while before he could react.

“Brother Wu, has anything suspicious happened recently?” Qiao Xiaren asked.

Upon hearing this, Brother Wu thought carefully and seemed to realize something, “I remember now, Xiaoqian took a private call. After hanging up, he started acting weird, but I didn’t really notice at the time.”

Brother Wu felt a bit regretful, he had been somewhat careless lately.

A phone call?

Having noticed this detail, Qiao Xiaren could almost guess the cause and effect of the matter.

It seemed that some things could no longer be hidden.

“Has he been particularly close to anyone at the company recently?”

“Company?” Brother Wu thought for a moment, there wasn’t anyone particularly close, but if it’s about someone he had been in touch with more recently, it would be Zhao Xueli.

Thinking of Zhao Xueli, Brother Wu seemed to recall something, “Recently, there’s a female artist at the company who’s been quite close to Xiaoqian, obviously with ulterior motives. I probed her a few days ago, and maybe she knows something.”

Qiao Xiaren nodded and instructed Brother Wu to inform her immediately if he got any information.

After the incident blew up, Jingyun Company, Brother Wu, and Qiao Xiaren’s side were all shocked. Chu Yifei only found out about this after finishing an interview, and he hurriedly called.

“Xiaren, what exactly is going on?”

Lately, events were unfolding one after another; just a while ago there had been an attack in M Country, and now Yeqian was involved in another incident.

“To put it simply, Xiaoqian might not be able to accept his own origins and has walked away,” Qiao Xiaren explained briefly, “Let’s give him some time to calm down.”

Chu Yifei held his forehead, “What a foolish kid, what does his origin matter? Alright, I’ll come over.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Xiaren didn’t know how else to explain. Being overly protected by others was also a drawback. He wasn’t young anymore and could experience some storms to truly grow.

At this moment, she still didn’t realize that the situation was far more complex than she had imagined.

Meanwhile, Yeqian sat alone on a large rock, with the sea breeze dispersing the hair on his forehead.

The golden sunlight felt so comfortable on his body, a very warm sunshine. The tide came in, and a child held their mother’s hand, barefoot through the soft sand.

The sky so blue, the clouds so white.

Everything before him seemed like a dream, only dreamscapes could be so beautiful.

“Here, take a look.”

Zhao Xueli handed her phone to Yeqian, displaying Qiao Xiaren’s statement to the media. Yeqian paused for a moment before reaching out to take it.

Be true to yourself–

Zhao Xueli sat beside him, cupping her face and looking at the youth next to her, feeling he could never be fully understood.

His fair skin glowed subtly under the sun, wasn’t he always very self-critical? It was unexpected that at such a critical moment, Yeqian would turn to himself.

Whatever the reason, being by his side at this moment was good enough.
