“Before I hand things over to Shi Xiu and let her personally explain this matter, I have something to say to all you young adults. Love is an important emotion in life. It is beautiful, romantic, and sacred, but love is not everything in our lives!” Yun Nan stated.

“We only have the one life. We came to this world to experience the setting sun, hear the summer insects chirp, see the autumn moon, feel the winter snow, and smell the spring breeze. We are here to experience all the world has to offer! Both the good and the bad!” Yun Nan said fervently.

The woman calmed down slightly as she listened to her. Yun Nan saw this and continued, “Naturally, it’s a wonderful thing if you fall in love. It’s undoubtedly the most romantic thing if the person you love also feels the same for you. However, not everything comes to fruition; not everything in life is perfect. What if, just when your love for your partner is going strong but they no longer love you… What then? Is that the end of your world? Then, your world is too fragile!”

Someone chuckled softly at that. Yun Nan continued, “Why give up the whole forest for a blade of grass? There are plenty more fish in the sea. Is it worth giving up all future romances and all the things the world can offer for one man?”

Someone laughingly replied, “No, it’s not worth it!”

Yun Nan looked at the woman. “You said you trained and honed yourself for that man; you made yourself outstanding, but he still doesn’t want you. So what? That only shows he’s a blind idiot; you’re not at fault, so why punish yourself? So long as you are good enough, you will naturally meet someone who’ll admire you. It you don’t have anyone who admires and loves you now, then there surely will be someone who does in the future. Learn to value yourself. How can others love you if you don’t love yourself?”

The woman leaned into one of the staff members’ arms and cried. “You think you’ll get your happily ever after so long as Shi Xiu is out of the picture, do you? You think that man will come back to you?” Yun Nan asked gently.

The woman nodded slightly and immedia tely received disdainful looks from the crowd. Yun Nan had set the facts out for her, but the woman still refused to come to her senses. She truly was hopeless.

“Then I’ll let Shi Xiu chat with you,” Yun Nan told her. She’d already said her piece, and there was little more she could do here. Yun Nan was more worried about Fang Xi, so she pulled her friend along and returned to the stage. Fang Xi’s hand was cold to the touch. Yun Nan looked at her in worried surprise, and Fang Xi returned her gaze with a bright smile.

Shi Xiu took the microphone one of the staff handed her and cleared her throat. “I just told you all that I don’t have a boyfriend, and I didn’t lie! I don’t have a clear standard for choosing a spouse; I believe my Mr. Right will appear before me someday when the time is right. But something like this happened right after I said that. I’m quite speechless, to be honest.”

Some fans immediately felt sorry for her and shouted, “Don’t worry, Shi Xiu. We believe you, sweetie!” The others instantly echoed that sentiment and clapped in encouragement.

Shi Xiu raised her hand to signal for everyone to be quiet. She then looked at the woman, and her voice was full of pity as she stated, “I do know Gu Fei, and his family have indeed come to propose a marriage between us. However, Gu Fei and I have no feelings for one another, nor do we intend to get married. The betrothal back when we were kids was merely a joke between our elders.”

She continued, “You can ask the mothers here if they’ve ever joked with their besties, saying things like, ‘I’ll let my son marry your daughter when he grows up,’ or ‘I want your daughter to be my daughter-in-law when she’s older.’ But does anyone take such comments seriously and actually have their children marry each other when they’ve grown up?”

Immediately, some of the fans called out, “No! Of course not!”

“No! No way!”

Shi Xiu gestured for them to quieten down. “Of course, sometimes betrothals do work out. Take my brother, Shi Nian, and my sister-in-law, Yun Nan, for example.”

She turned and looked at Yun Nan, standing to the side, before smiling at her audience. “They were also betrothed from birth. However, they are together now because they love each other, not because of their parents’ wishes.”

“There’s no love between Gu Fei and me—not now and not ever. So, girl, wipe away those tears and relax. I swear to the heavens that I, Shi Xiu, am not—and will never be—an obstacle to your romance. You really don’t have to die because of this; that would be such a waste.” That said, Shi Xiu smiled sweetly at the woman.

“Then, what should I do?” The woman muttered uneasily, feeling lost, and tears poured down her cheeks.

Shi Xiu tilted her head and frowned. “I don’t know. I don’t have any experience in matters of the heart. But if you’re willing to listen, I bet the other girls here can give you some ideas. However, don’t take their ideas too seriously; their suggestions are very likely to be terrible.”

She looked at her fans and remarked, “Guys, don’t bully her. She’s already quite pitiful. Do tell her if you have a feasible suggestion. If not, don’t give her any random ideas, okay?”

“Okay!” Her fans cheerily agreed in unison..
