Lu Yinxing immediately questioned: "Yin Yifan, why did you do this? You clearly know everything!"

Yin Yifan chuckled: "It’s fun, isn’t it? I’ve lost bets to this wooden block several times. Growing up, I have yet to meet anyone who is better than me at everything. So I decided to go against him. After observing for a long time, I discovered this iceberg has a soft spot, and that’s you. You see, after finding this out with great difficulty, how could I not make good use of it?"

"Yin Yifan, you!"

"Alright, alright. I didn’t mean any harm. Speaking of which, you two should actually thank me now."

Yin Yifan glanced around. There weren’t too many people gathered around at that moment.

But he still leaned closer to Lu Yinxing’s ear and lowered his voice: "If it weren’t for me, how long would it take for you two to break through that thin layer of paper?"

Lu Yinxing naturally understood the deeper meaning in Yin Yifan’s words.

At that moment, Lu Yinxing also found it inappropriate to act out, so she whispered through gritted teeth: "I’ll settle the score with you later."

Yin Yifan laughed and left confidently.

The banquet was still quite boring, mostly consisting of some courtesy exchanges within the circle.

Lu Yinxing tried hard to perk up and deal with those who approached proactively.

However, Lu Yinxing was somewhat envious of Xia Ye.

He has a natural aura that keeps strangers at bay, even though countless gazes linger on him, no one dares to easily approach.

Finally, it was time for the last press conference.

Lu Yinxing finally announced her decision to leave the band and exit the entertainment industry.

Actually, Sister Shan had released the news earlier.

So although people were surprised, they didn’t ask too many difficult questions.

In fact, Lu Yinxing leaving the entertainment industry was understandable.

Her identity and position are obvious.

Someone who already has everything, why would they compete for fame and profit in such a place as the entertainment industry?

Therefore, ever since Xia Ye announced his departure, many media outlets began reporting this possibility.

After all, for these wealthy misses, even releasing an album or shooting a movie could easily be a whim.

After announcing her departure, Lu Yinxing finally felt a weight lifted off her heart.

Lu Yinxing and Xia Ye left the venue ahead of time.

Even though they have been accustomed to such occasions since childhood.

But Xia Ye doesn’t like them, and neither does Lu Yinxing.

Compared to the hustle and bustle, Lu Yinxing now prefers the time alone with Xia Ye.

By the time they left, it was already nine in the evening.

Neither of them had eaten much that night.

They saw an old lady with a stall selling cold noodles by the roadside.

Lu Yinxing said, "Let’s have a bowl of cold noodles before going back."

The two sat down at a small table.

Xia Ye has a slight obsession with cleanliness and is strict about the quality of food.

But Lu Yinxing really likes street food stalls.

Even though she’s aware of the questionable hygiene.

But when she sits down, she can experience a sense of unrestrained, carefree freedom.

Lu Yinxing said, "Brother, you’ve just lived in a greenhouse for too long. What’s that saying again? A bit of dirt doesn’t make you sick. It’s not without grounds. From a medical perspective, the harsher the environment you live in, the stronger your immune system becomes. So occasionally eating street food is nothing; don’t frown like I’m making you eat poison."

Eventually, under Lu Yinxing’s persuasion, Xia Ye tried a bite of the cold noodles.

His furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, surprisingly finding it quite tasty.
