Chapter 40 Verse 31

  Qin Xue Man surprisingly didn't get angry: "I'm not like that, I am actually the short-lived astrological sign. As Xun Shu Ba said, a great master once said that I won't live past twenty years old."

  Su Ya stared blankly: "You really believe it?"

  "I don't want to believe it either." Qin Xue Man said gloomily, "But the master's words have never been wrong before."

  "How old are you now?"

  "Nineteen years old and ten months twenty-eight days!" Qin Xue Man smiled somewhat awkwardly, "The day after tomorrow is my twentieth birthday."

  No wonder she has been so melancholic and sensitive all along, it turns out that she has known since childhood that she won't live past twenty years old.

  "The day after tomorrow?" Su Ya suddenly burst out laughing, "Alright, I haven't celebrated someone's birthday in a long time. The day after tomorrow, I'll accompany you to celebrate your birthday! Let's buy a big cake for you!"

  Fang Wei leaned in, saying with a sly smile: "Want or not, I'll find someone else to accompany you?"

  Qin Xue Man also smiled: "No need for that, leave it for yourself to enjoy."

  She glanced at the time, picked up a small mirror to tidy her hair, and gave Fang Yuen and Su Ya a faint smile: "I'll go take a look at that girl who suddenly fainted in the affiliated hospital. If you have anything urgent, call my cell phone."

  Qin Xue Man wrote down her phone number on a small piece of paper and handed it to Fang Yuan. As she walked out of the dormitory door, she specifically turned back to remind her: "Remember, don't be stubborn, if anything happens, just call me, I'll come immediately."

  Su Ya looked at Qin Xue Man's back and whispered to Fang Yuan: "Why do I feel that there is something strange about her?"

  Fang Wei deeply agreed: "Me too. She seems to know something, but she won't tell us."

  "I think she's even weirder than Wu Xiaoxian. At least we know that Wu Xiaoxian is a Gu girl." Su Ya looked at the paper in Fang Yuan's hand, "Fang Yuan, do you think if you're in danger, she can come and save you?"

  Fang Yu shot Su Ya a glance: "Why is it that when I'm in danger, you never are?"

  "Of course it's you! Didn't you see the way she was looking at you, so ambiguous? Besides, she specifically left her phone number for you. I'm just here to accompany her as a prop. I think, has she fallen in love with you?"

  Su Ya's serious expression made Fang Yuan laugh and cry at the same time.

  The mobile phone rang, Su Ya glanced at the incoming call display, it was her sister calling.

  "Sister?"

  "Sister, I have some great news!" Su Shu's voice was filled with excitement. "The student union has decided to let me be the lead in the musical 'Waiting for My Husband'. This is our school's main event at the Student Arts Festival and many celebrities will come to watch."

  "Really? Congratulations! Good luck! Perform well and you must win an award, don't disappoint me."

  "I'll go! Sister, come watch me rehearse, okay?"

  "Alright!" Su Ya replied readily, "Time? Place?"

  "7 o'clock in the evening, at the concert hall."

  "Wait a minute!" Su Ya suddenly remembered something, "You just said you were the main character of what drama?"

  "The leading actor of the musical 'Waiting for Husband'! The pianist is our school's renowned Fan Sicheng!"

  "My goodness! Su Ya muttered under her breath and continued to ask: "Who let you participate in this performance?"

  "The student union, I heard it was recommended by the president Zhou Tao and decided by a collective vote of the committee." Su Shu detected that Su Ya's tone was off, "Sister, what's wrong?"

  Su Ya's lungs were about to explode with rage, and she wished she could chop Zhou Baozi into a thousand pieces. In her heart, she had already cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations.

  "Suxu, listen to your sister, this musical is very complicated and has many secrets, give up on this performance. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Next time, I'll personally help you write a script and invite the best musicians to assist you, okay?"

  "But...," Su Shu muttered, "Sister, I've already decided to participate and promised the Student Council."

  "Do you know that the former leading actor of this musical just died mysteriously?"

  "The student told me that the girl was so desperate, she cut her throat and killed herself. My sister, Xingxing and Xiaoyao also support me. This opportunity is hard to come by, I really don't want to give it up."

  Su Ya was clear that her sister was particularly sensitive and had a strong sense of inferiority, always closing herself off to the outside world. Originally, this was a great opportunity for her to build confidence. If she were to be discouraged again, perhaps she would become disheartened and sink back into depression.

  "Alright then. Where are you? I'll go find you."

  "I am in the dormitory with Xiao Yao."

  Elegant dance music, mysterious music, strange death. Su Ya really hopes that Lin Mei Xuan's death was just an accident.

  Sister, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side and protect you forever.

  Su Ya hung up the phone and looked at Fang Yuan with a stunned face, saying softly: "Tonight, there's a good show to be performed."
