They surrounded me right after the breakup.

Yunqi Mountain Villa.

Two best friends unexpectedly had a heart-to-heart talk at Jiang Han's home.

Shen Qingning and Xia Yutong have a good personal relationship, and Junhe Law Firm has provided her with a lot of help in legal matters.

Because of relationship issues, we've had fewer and fewer opportunities to spend time alone together lately.

Faced with her best friend's meticulous and rational analysis, Xia Yutong finally bravely confronted her inner thoughts and asked the question that had been bothering her.

What should she do?

If Jiang Han were single, this problem wouldn't exist at all.

But ironically, the people who had romantic entanglements with Jiang Han were all her best friends and sisters.

Xia Yutong didn't know how to deal with it; her professional legal knowledge was useless when it came to matters of the heart.

Rational thinking will only give her the answer she doesn't want.

Jiang Han has girlfriends, including Qiu Siyao, Lin Yaoyao, and Shen Qingning, making his relationships with men and women complicated.

From a legal perspective, there is no doubt that she should stay away from it.

But women are emotional creatures, and once they fall for something, they are completely out of control.

Xia Yutong witnessed Shen Qingning's transformation and discovered that she had changed dramatically since the breakup.

Especially when facing Jiang Han, he was like a completely different person.

In the past, when she faced Qiu Siyao at gatherings, she would lose her temper and vent her emotions without regard for the occasion.

However, now, facing the barrage of insults from her best friends in the group chat, Shen Qingning remained calm and composed, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation.

It's clear that she has found a new way to get along with Jiang Han.

Xia Yutong frowned, a look of melancholy settling over her capable face.

She put down her wine glass, looking at Shen Qingning expectantly, waiting for her answer.

"Just go with the flow; there's no need to do anything deliberately."

Xia Yutong was confused: "We don't have to do anything, we just wait around?"

Shen Qingning shook her head: "What I mean is, don't be anxious, don't care about other people's opinions, and don't let others influence you."

"Perhaps at some point in time, in some special situation, you'll know what to do."

Shen Qingning's words were somewhat vague, but they were indeed her own personal insights.

In the past, she would never have imagined that her relationship with Jiang Han would develop like this.

A high-profile female celebrity in the entertainment industry becomes her ex-boyfriend's little mango; reality is far more surreal than any script.

Shen Qingning continued, "Is there anything that only you and Jiang Han were involved in?"

"Of everyone, you two have the most contact at work, which is something no one else can match..."

Her words were relatively subtle, and the idea that feelings can develop over time is not without merit. Since you want to know what to do, why not start with the details around you?

Xia Yutong seemed to be deep in thought.

Jiang Han was very fond of his unusually small feet, having seen and touched them.

Furthermore, their relationship was always intertwined with betting.

First, bet on whether Mao Buyi can become famous, then bet on whether the movie Nezha will gross over 40 billion.

As for the stakes, without exception, they were all Xia Yutong herself.

In an instant, she understood.

Yes! I didn't interfere in my best friend's relationship; I just lost a bet and was simply fulfilling my promise out of honesty and integrity.

But... is it really possible for an animated film to reach 40 billion in box office revenue?

Xia Yutong turned to Shen Qingning: "I think I know what to do now, thank you Qingning!"

"You're welcome!"

On the other side, Lin Yaoyao sat in the business class of the high-speed train, exchanging information with Qiu Siyao.

"Luckily, Yutong is reliable and arrived home immediately."

Qiu Siyao: "Yes, we should thank her properly later. Xiao Xiao left right after Yutong went there."

"It's obvious they're a little afraid of strong legal women."

Lin Yaoyao rapidly typed on her phone: "But that bitch Shen Qingning is still around!"

"How about we ask Yutong to stay at our place tonight?"

Qiu Siyao thought for a moment: "This is the only way, but it's too much trouble for her!"

So, Qiu Siyao sent a message to Xia Yutong, subtly expressing her thoughts.

The gist of the sentence is that Shen Qingning is a rather impulsive person who doesn't think things through and doesn't act with restraint, so it's hoped that she can be more careful.

Xia Yutong verbally agreed.

In fact, she and Shen Qingning had already moved from the restaurant to the sofa.

The two stood side by side, chatting and laughing about interesting things in Jianghan, creating a particularly warm atmosphere.

The sisters' relationship became closer again because of that man.

"Qingning, what is your relationship with Jiang Han now?" Xia Yutong asked curiously.

"It's rather special, but the kind of very intimate one; you probably wouldn't understand."

"So...do you want to reconcile with Jiang Han and continue your old relationship?"

Shen Qingning shook her head: "It's impossible. A broken mirror can't be mended. No matter how well it's pieced together, there will still be cracks. I hurt Jiang Han too deeply."

Xia Yutong caught a glimpse of a hint of melancholy in her expression.

"Don't you want to get back together?"

"I want to! Of course I want to! But I've figured it out. Letting my temper dictate things will only push Jiang Han further away."

"Once a man agrees to a breakup, it's very difficult for them to go back to how things were before."

"Instead of fantasizing about impossible goals, I just want to stay quietly by Jiang Han's side now, regardless of what role I play."

Xia Yutong listened to her best friend's speech and fell into deep thought.

Shen Qingning's composure was because she had convinced herself and found a new way of getting along.

She abandoned the idea of ​​regaining her position and no longer hoped to return to the way things were before.

She found an emotional path that belonged only to her.

Xia Yutong admired Shen Qingning's determination and drive; she herself would probably have collapsed long ago.

She hugged her best friend's keyboard, pressing down firmly with her palm, offering comfort to her friend through her actions.

As for herself, Xia Yutong pinned her hopes on the bet.

If she loses to Jiang Han, everything will smoothly turn into keeping her promise.

If we win…

Then let's find another bet that we can't possibly win!

……

The second floor of the villa.

Jiang Han was unaware of the two people downstairs chatting idly at night; he was sitting at his computer desk composing a song.

He closed his eyes tightly, trying hard to find inspiration in his mind.

To be precise, it awakens memories of past lives.

Complete plagiarism is not an easy thing to do either.

After a long while, Jiang Han suddenly sat up straight and began typing rapidly on the keyboard, starting with the lyrics.

The intro, the verses, the chorus—each line bursts forth.

"I'm still searching for someone to lean on, and for a hug."

After writing this sentence, Jiang Han smiled.

The classic duet love song "Little Dimples" in KTV reminded him of his innocent youth.

"Your dimples and long eyelashes are your most beautiful features."

I can't sleep every night, I miss your smile.

Jiang Han hummed as he wrote, in a cheerful mood.

The lyrics are straightforward and simple, like first love—pure, clean, and untouched by the taint of society.

It's a bit sweet, but it works.

This kind of song doesn't need to be profound, it just needs to be catchy.

He went through it again from beginning to end, and the melody flowed smoothly and the lyrics matched perfectly.

Jiang Han spoke into the recording microphone and recorded the entire piece.

When he finished his work and looked up at the clock on the screen, it was already 1 a.m.

Jiang Han stretched and relaxed: "The rest will be left to the younger generation tomorrow. Time for a nap."

Upon reaching the third floor of the villa, both the master bedroom and Lin Yaoyao's room were empty.

Huh? Did those two women leave?

Curious, he happened to notice that the door to the guest bedroom on the west side was tightly closed.

Jiang Han walked down the corridor and pressed the metal handle on the door.
