In the Yu family's study on the third floor.
The spacious room was lit only by the computer screen.
The young girl sat on Yu Wenli's lap, staring intently at the screen, her surprise and excitement evident.
"This is so beautiful! How did you do it? It's amazing."
"It's not difficult. PS, 3D modeling, or Maya can do it."
"..." Wen Tingxue blinked. "What are you talking about?"
Yu Wenli chuckled softly. "It's okay if you don't understand. Your brother knows how."

He pinched her nose, then pressed a few keys. The nebula on the screen changed again.
It was still dynamic, mysterious, and brilliant, like a miracle blooming in the universe.
Yu Wenli explained as usual, "This is the Iris Nebula, primarily located in Cepheus, with an approximate apparent diameter of six light-years.
"I liked it initially because it's unique. Although its main color is blue, it has a hint of red light in the center."
Wen Tingxue stared at the center of the rotating nebula and indeed saw the red. It wasn't very prominent amidst the blue, but once noticed, it felt magical.
"So, is this your favorite?"
"Not exactly."
"Ah?" Wen Tingxue asked curiously, "Then what's your favorite nebula?"
"It's you."

He lowered his gaze, speaking with utmost seriousness.
"..." The young girl pushed him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Don't change the subject, and don't flirt with me."
"I'm not flirting. I'm telling the truth."
"...I don't want to talk to you anymore."
Wen Tingxue made a move to get off his lap. Yu Wenli reluctantly held her waist. "I don't have a particularly favorite nebula.
"My initial interest in astronomy was mainly because of my maternal grandfather.
"For a long time after he passed away, I didn't delve into astronomy again.
"It wasn't until I was twelve, when the band was formed, and there were so many things to do, so much pressure, it was frustrating.
"To find some peace, I specifically bought a telescope and started researching astronomy-related topics, including these."
He gestured towards the rotating nebula on the screen and the pile of books and literature on the desk.

Wen Tingxue felt he was quite passionate about astronomy.
She couldn't help but ask, "Will you major in this field in the future?"
Yu Wenli shook his head. "It's just a hobby. My greatest passion is still music, though... now I have one more."
"Oh? What is it?"
Yu Wenli smiled but didn't answer. "Do you know why I'm doing all this, besides liking it and finding peace?"
Wen Tingxue shook her head.
How could she possibly guess his thoughts?
Yu Wenli gazed at the Iris Nebula blooming in the universe on the screen and said:
"I want to tell the girl I will love in the future what I was doing and what I liked during the years I hadn't met her.
"I want to show her the time she wasn't a part of. If she likes what I like, that would be even better."

"What if she doesn't like it?" Wen Tingxue blurted out.
"She doesn't like it?"
Yu Wenli lowered his eyes, staring at her intently, his gaze burning, his tone leaving little room for doubt.
Wen Tingxue's face flushed instantly, her heart pounding.
In the charged, ambiguous atmosphere, he curved his lips slightly. "Do you know my answer now?"
"What?"
After asking, Wen Tingxue remembered his earlier words—My greatest passion is still music, though... now I have one more.

Something wasn't right.
While doing her homework, Wen Tingxue finally came to her senses. She grabbed Yu Wenli's sleeve and asked:

"Why are you only telling me this now? Shouldn't you have told me earlier... It's been over half a year!"
Her pouting and stamping were very much like an angry pufferfish, utterly adorable.
Yu Wenli chuckled for a while before saying, "I originally intended to tell you, but..."
He cleared his throat and whispered, "It's Xie Jin'yi. I always felt she would... So, I specifically waited until now."
Wen Tingxue's mouth twitched twice. "So, you knew she had issues all along?"
The moment the words left her lips, a flood of images flashed in her mind.
When Yu Yahe lost her bracelet, he was also in the office.
But when Xie Jin'yi presented the evidence, he was fiddling with her hoodie strings.
He didn't even bother to glance her way.
When she heard about Xie Jin'yi's falling out with Yu Yahe, Chi Zerui was also present.

Their expressions, in retrospect, seemed not of surprise, but of strangeness.
In fact, Chi Zerui seemed about to say something, but Yu Wenli stopped him.
There were too many other details.
Wen Tingxue didn't have time to think them through, angrily tugging at his collar.
She questioned him in exasperation, "You knew, you absolutely knew all along!
"Why did you keep it from me? You and Chi Zerui both hid it from me, you were too mean!
"Did you enjoy watching me act like an idiot?"
Yu Wenli: "..."
"I genuinely didn't know about this. Ah Rui and I only had one basis for our judgment.
"That was the relationship between the Yu family and the Xie family.

"But that wasn't enough to prove Xie Jin'yi had issues.
"Furthermore, at that time, she was your only friend.
"If I had told you she had problems, forget whether you would believe me, wouldn't you have been hurt?"
"..." The young girl was somewhat convinced, but, "I'm still hurt now."
"That's different," Yu Wenli gently pried her claws away and asked:
"Think about it, do you have many friends now?"
"Mm."
"Xu Kexin, Qiao Xixi, Lin Ling, Hao Lu'er, and that group of boys."
Yu Wenli counted them on his fingers, deliberately skipping the male names.
Wen Tingxue: "...Ah." Kuai Shu Ge

"The only loss is the most painful.
"So, no matter how much pain you feel now, it won't be as bad as it was then. Besides..."
Yu Wenli paused unconsciously. Wen Tingxue pressed, "What?"
"I think," he pursed his lips and truthfully said, "she genuinely cared about you."
Wen Tingxue lowered her gaze. "I can feel that too, but I really can't forgive it."
Her emotions were pure.
You are good to me, and I am good to you.
She couldn't tolerate calculation, regardless of the reason.
Monday, Jiangcheng High School.
As soon as Wen Tingxue entered the classroom, Tong Jiayi rushed to greet her.

"I heard about you and Xie Jin'yi."
"..." Wen Tingxue couldn't fathom her meaning. "So?"
"Do you remember the incident with the model last time?"
"Which time?"
Tong Jiayi was speechless. "The time you didn't get selected."
Wen Tingxue: "..."
Tong Jiayi said, "I don't mean to bring up old wounds. I just remembered something.
"That small company was invested in by the Xie family, with a significant stake.
"Given Xie Jin'yi's attention to Xie's Group,
"She couldn't possibly have not known that I was already pre-selected, yet she still brought you there.

"I think she deliberately created this situation to lay the groundwork for that kidnapping."
Wen Tingxue's hair stood on end.
If it weren't for Tong Jiayi, she would never have thought these two incidents were related.
Tong Jiayi paused, her expression solemn. "Don't blame me for being nosy.
"If this is indeed the case, then Xie Jin'yi is difficult to deal with.
"And, the Xie family has already started targeting your family."
"What did you say?!"
Wen Tingxue's voice rose in shock.
"What she said is true. My father is already forcing your parents to resign."
Xie Jin'yi's voice came from the doorway.

Wen Tingxue turned around. She still had that roguish demeanor.
Smiling charmingly, as if no one was worth her attention.
"Of course, as long as you're willing to prove it, there are no problems between us.
"And no conspiracy or scheming. Your parents can..."
Slap—
The sudden slap stunned not only Xie Jin'yi but everyone present.
Only Wen Tingxue, who delivered it, had a cold expression. "Xie Jin'yi, I can tolerate you scheming against me, but why would you involve my parents?!"
