"Do you not get what I mean?" Wang Haoran widened his eyes and stared directly at Qiu Qianwei.Qiu Qianwei initially met Wang Haoran's gaze, but after being stared at for a few seconds, she involuntarily averted her eyes slightly.
"You should let go. If Xiao Xiao sees us like this, it wouldn't be good," Qiu Qianwei said with a hint of sourness in her tone.
"There's nothing going on between us, Wei Wei," Wang Haoran explained.
"Hand-holding, wiping her mouth with a tissue... and you call that nothing?" Qiu Qianwei retorted angrily.
"I'm not interested in Cui Xiao. She's the one pestering me. I'm only being polite because she's your apprentice. So, I didn't want to be rude to her. That's why I gave her some attention," Wang Haoran explained with a look of injustice. "I came here to talk to you and ask you to persuade her to stop bothering me."
"Is that really the case?" Qiu Qianwei's eyes lit up.
Seeing Qiu Qianwei's change in expression, Wang Haoran couldn't help but feel amazed. Women in love were easy to deceive. How could she believe this too?
"Of course, the person I truly like is... is..." Wang Haoran hesitated to continue.
"Who?" Qiu Qianwei asked eagerly.
Wang Haoran sat next to Qiu Qianwei, held her hand, and looked into her eyes, saying, "You already know. Why ask again?"
"I... I don't get it," Qiu Qianwei huffed.
"If you don't understand, then let me make it clear for you," Wang Haoran suddenly grabbed Qiu Qianwei's shoulder and leaned closer to her face.
Qiu Qianwei widened her eyes in surprise.

After dozens of breaths, Qiu Qianwei, feeling short of breath, greedily breathed in the air.

"Do you get it now? If you don't, I can continue," Wang Haoran's gaze carried a sense of aggression.
"I understand, I understand!" Qiu Qianwei, feeling embarrassed, fearing someone might suddenly barge into the piano room, quickly responded.
"As long as you understand. Now, practice the piano well. I won't disturb you anymore," Wang Haoran said with a smile and quickly left.
In the piano room, only Qiu Qianwei remained.
She chuckled foolishly, nostalgically recalling the sweet and heart-pounding feeling just now.
After about ten minutes, Qiu Qianwei returned to normal and began practicing the piano seriously. Her skill level returned to its usual level.
About an hour later, Qiu Qianwei suddenly stopped practicing, left the piano room, and knocked on Cui Xiao's door.
"Xiao Xiao, I want to talk to you," Qiu Qianwei said as Cui Xiao opened the door.
"Oh, Master, please come in," Cui Xiao nodded.
Qiu Qianwei sat down on a chair in the room, and Cui Xiao also sat down.
The scene fell silent for a few minutes.
"Do you like Wang Haoran?" Although it was awkward, Qiu Qianwei broke the silence first.
"Yeah, he's so handsome and talented. Of course, I like him," Cui Xiao replied cheerfully, not hiding her inner thoughts and directly admitting.
"I understand your feelings, but have you ever thought that liking someone is a mutual thing? Some things can't be forced," Qiu Qianwei advised earnestly.
"But he's been nice to me," Cui Xiao frowned.
"He doesn't want to hurt you. It's a kind lie," Qiu Qianwei explained.
Cui Xiao furrowed her brows and suddenly fell silent.
"Think about it yourself," Qiu Qianwei decided to give her some space for contemplation and didn't say more. After saying this, she left.
...
In the following days, Qiu Qianwei spent most of her time practicing the piano. Whenever she had free time, she would go find Wang Haoran. They would chat and occasionally have some sweet moments together.
Lin Chen stayed in his room without coming out, and no one knew what he was up to.
Qiu Qianwei was focused on practicing the piano and meeting Wang Haoran, so she didn't pay much attention to her little brother.
On the evening before the Arts Festival, after finishing the last rehearsal of the piano piece, Qiu Qianwei took a break.
She had done everything she could, although her performance was still somewhat unsatisfactory. However, at this crucial moment, there was nothing more she could do. She could only leave it to fate.
She wanted to rest, but before resting, she followed a small habit she had developed over the past few days. She sent a greeting message to Wang Haoran.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm dizzy, resting," Wang Haoran replied to the message.
"What's wrong?" Qiu Qianwei asked nervously.
"I think I'm not used to the climate here. I got a bit of a cold."
"I'll get some medicine for you."
"No need, you have the Arts Festival tomorrow, it's too important for you. Don't worry about me, just go back and rest well, take care of yourself!"
'He's not feeling well, yet he cares so much about me?'
Seeing this message, a faint smile of happiness and contentment appeared at the corner of Qiu Qianwei's mouth.
She didn't reply to the message, but she bought a box of cold medicine, intending to take it to Wang Haoran.
As a qualified girlfriend, when her boyfriend caught a cold, she couldn't just ignore it.
With cold medicine in hand, Qiu Qianwei arrived at Wang Haoran's room.
She was about to knock on the door when she noticed the door was left open.
"What a careless guy," Qiu Qianwei muttered softly, then pushed the door open and walked in.
She tiptoed in, brewed the cold medicine in a glass with warm water, and brought it into the bedroom.
However, as soon as she arrived at the bedroom door and saw the scene inside, Qiu Qianwei was struck by lightning.
Bang!
The glass slipped from her hand, falling to the floor and shattering into pieces.
"Master?!"
The noise woke up the two people under the blanket.
Cui Xiao seemed too embarrassed to face anyone, burying her head under the covers.
"What are you doing with Xiao Xiao..." Qiu Qianwei's heart twisted in knots.
"That's right, it is what it seems to be," Wang Haoran shrugged.
"If it was just a moment of impulse, apologize properly, I... I can pretend nothing happened," Qiu Qianwei, with an affection level of 70, still had a high tolerance.
"Let's break up."
"If I'm not good enough, tell me, I... I can change." Qiu Qianwei had no intention of breaking up and still wanted to work on the relationship, so she chose to endure and compromise.
"I said let's break up. Are you waiting for me to perform a show for you?"
Hearing these extremely disrespectful words, Qiu Qianwei finally couldn't bear it.
"I! Hate! You!"
Tears poured out of her eyes like a bursting dam, flowing down her cheeks and dropping from her chin.

[Ding, host deeply hurts the heart of the female lead Qiu Qianwei, gaining 700 villain points!]
...

After Qiu Qianwei left, Cui Xiao crawled from underneath the covers.
She was fully dressed, only removing her shoes.
"How did I do?" she asked Wang Haoran somewhat uncertainly.
"Very professional."
"Will this work?"
"We'll find out tomorrow."
