As she was an orphan in her past life, Yun Xiangxiang felt nothing toward all special occasions.

Everyone was celebrating during Valentines this year. Even Song Mian asked her how she would like to celebrate it.

She only replied, We are Chinese. Shouldnt we celebrate the Qixi Festival [1] instead?

She was busy studying. Time was not her friend. She wasnt a romantic either. She did not have anything in her mind about how to go on a spree on the day.

Song Mian prepared nothing in respect of her wishes. He was instead demeaned as a boring man who knew nothing of romance by Uncle Song.

Of course, Uncle Song scolded Song Mian behind Yun Xiangxiangs back. However, Song Mian told Yun Xiangxiang about it word-by-word. Yun Xiangxiang was half amused, half annoyed.

Uncle Song was perhaps thinking it impossible for a young girl like her to eschew romanticism. To him, she was just saying no when she meant yes.

Even so, Yun Xiangxiang knew Song Mian could see that she cared nothing about it from the bottom of her heart.

To Yun Xiangxiang, every day was a celebration if she was together with someone she loved. They could send each other gifts anywhere, anytime.

She didnt need a specific day to go out of her way to surprise and show appreciation for someone she loved.

Song Mian had already created a learning program for Yun Xiangxiang before he would leave for Bhutan. He promised to video call her every day.

Yun Xiangxiang was attending a lecture in her class when he left. He had already landed in Bhutan by the time she came home.

Yun Xiangxiang paid more attention toward learning during the day when Song Mian was away.

Yun Xiangxiang received a gift on the twenty-second. Percy sent it from overseas.

It was a complete set of jewelry that was embedded with rubellites. The designs were built upon the yew fruit she gave Percy back then.

Percy announced his strike of inspiration back then. He would design something and give it to her as her coming-of-age gift.

Yun Xiangxiang immediately called Percy to express her joy and gratitude after she had received it.

To her dorm mates shock, Yun Xiangxiang applied for a leave yet again on the 22nd of February.

Xiangxiang, the math competition is right around the corner. Youre still going to apply for a leave now? Feng Xiaolus eyes widened.

Its a promise I made last year, Yun Xiangxiang could not help it. I will study hard. I wont embarrass you girls.

Your birthdays five days later. Will you return on your birthday? Tao Manni was concerned about this. We already had plans to celebrate it with you.

I can probably only come back on the first of March, Yun Xiangxiang shook her head.

I didnt even buy you any gifts yet. I was planning to buy it this weekend, Tao Manni was frustrated. I should have asked you sooner.

I am already grateful for your appreciation. Theres always next year, Yun Xiangxiang was touched.

Its different by then. Eighteen is your coming of age, Feng Xiaolu was dispirited.

Allow me to be cheeky then. Have a belated one for me after I come back, okay? Yun Xiangxiang suggested when she saw how dejected they were.

I suppose thats a way. Well have more time to prepare, Ma Linlin smoothed it over.

Yun Xiangxiang left school right after the promise with the girls was made. She booked an afternoon flight. The flight would take nearly twelve hours. There was also jet lag between both countries. It would be around seven or eight in the evening when she arrived in Milan.

She took Song Qian and Ai Li along. Coco and the others stayed back to take care of Yun Lin.

When she met up with Lu Jin and was waiting for her flight in the waiting room, Song Meng sent Yun Xiangxiang a link.

The headline that greeted her after she opened it was: A clash of two beauties. Who will be the winner in this fight for the endorsement for luxury items?

The news was about Yun Xiangxiang and Qin Yue eyeing NI.Gs endorsement at the same time, yet NI.G still chose Qin Yue in the end.

Attached in the news were the pictures where Yun Xiangxiang and He Wei went to see NI.Gs upper management. It was not a clear shot, but it was easy to see that it was them.

It was clear that The Era of Stars was trying to bring them down with this news. Yun Xiangxiang only smiled, not entertaining it any further.

She thought the dance could not go on with only one person, but there would always be troublemakers.

Qin Yues fans were only happy that their idol won in the first place. Of course they would feel proud. There would also be a couple who were harsh.

The problem came about when they came for her.

They dared to comment under Yun Xiangxiangs Weibo.

[You can snatch for a time, but you cannot snatch for a lifetime]

[There is always retribution. It is up to the heavens. This is karma]

[This is the entertainment industry. You snatch one character away from me, I snatch one endorsement away from you]

[Talent is talent, no matter where they go. Our Yueyue has finally proven herself]

[Not even evil can grasp everything in their hands.

[]

When Yun Xiangxiang and He Wei arrived at the hotel arranged by the sponsors after they landed, three groups of fans were already at war!

There were three groups because Yun Xiangxiangs fans followed the rules and did not make a mess out of Qin Yues Weibo even when Qin Yues fans made a mess out of Yun Xiangxiangs Weibo.

They could only retort under Yun Xiangxiangs Weibo. They were obviously at a disadvantage. Xue Yus fans could not turn a blind eye anymore. They joined the battle.

Yun Xiangxiang saw Song Mengs comment after she turned on her phone. She left it as it was, and asked He Wei to ignore it. She only posted a Weibo status after her arrival at the hotel.

[Yun Xiangxiang V: I am still dizzy now after twelve hours of flight. I heard NI.Gs official announcement. Congratulations, Sister Jinlin. I love your films @Yu Jinlin.]

The fans stopped fighting when Yun Xiangxiang posted her Weibo status. They were momentarily stunned. What does this have to do with Yu Jinlin?

Xue Yu immediately understood what his junior had in mind. The matter did not concern him at first. When his fans poked their noses into it, the chaos would just grow larger if he took part in it too. Now was his time to shine.

[Xue Yu V: Junior, youre drowsy from your flight. NI.Gs new spokesperson isnt Jinlin.]

Yeah, yeah, the new spokesperson is Qin Yue. The three groups of fans nodded.

[Actress Yun Xiangxiang V: Oh, oh, sorry. I tried out for it when I heard NI.G was choosing a new spokesperson. When the company said that they were still going to choose The Era of Stars as their collaborator, I thought they chose Sister Jinlin. I guess I am drowsy from my flight. @Yu Jinlin, sorry, Sister Jinlin]

Yun Xiangxiangs post was telling those who accused her of snatching Qin Yues endorsement that Qin Yue committed the same crime.

Yun Xiangxiang and Qin Yue came from two different companies. Since NI.G announced their search for a new spokesperson, it was reasonable for her to compete.

Qin Yue, however, snatched away a lucrative deal from her senior right after she joined the company. Qin Yue looked like the bigger villain here.

Yun Xiangxiang posted another Weibo status before Qin Yues fans had the chance to retaliate.

[Actress Yun Xiangxianng V: Sister Man, see how caring Sister Jinlin is toward the newbie. Can you take care of me too {} @Li Man]

[Li Man V: Dont I need to survive too [2] {Nick Young JPG} ]

Li Mans instant reply was powerful. The allusion was obvious. Li Man needed to survive, and so did Yu Jinlin.

Yu Jinlins reply to Yun Xiangxiang was what surprised Yun Xiangxiang the most.

[Yu Jinlin V: Its fine. Not many newbies who know about courtesy like you now @Actress Yun Xiangxiang]

She only hid the fact that Qin Yue took her endorsement away under a thin veil with that reply.

Yun Xiangxiang turned the tides easily without even mentioning Qin Yue from start to finish.

That was not enough. She needed to sear this lesson into Qin Yues mind!
