Lu Wei Xi sat in the Starbucks near the school holding a cup of hot cocoa in her hand while she enjoys the scenery out the window. As time pa.s.ses by, the sky gradually darkened. Pa.s.sers-by on the streets have become spa.r.s.e and scattered. Now, there are only yellow leaves and the glaring white headlights on the road.
She has been here since the afternoon.
Lu Wei Xi retracted her gaze from the window and instead watch the customers come and go in the store. In the end, there were only a few people left, and even the clerk began to walk out of the counter to do some cleaning.
He also didn"t come today….
This is already the second Sat.u.r.day.
He has not been to this Starbucks for two weeks.
If it was only last weekend that he didn"t come, Lu Wei Xi could still comfort herself that he may be busy with work or had some sort of emergency. But this weekend….
She stared out the window. The more she thinks about it, the more she believes that he found a better and more suitable coffee shop to work in.
Dejected, Lu Wei Xi went on Weibo and typed––– "The male G.o.d also didn"t come today. Will he ever come back?”
Lu Wei Xi sighed, unable to find the words to express her current mood and miserably began to pack up.
Before she came, she spent a long time meticulously deciding on her outfit and had specifically picked out a down jacket that doesn"t have any hood.
Lu Wei Xi walked out of the Starbucks, put her hands in her pocket and shudder from the evening chill. She looked up at the neat faint street lights lining both sides of the road and suddenly felt a little lonely.
Actually, she wanted to ask him what are his thought after finding out that she is Eastern Attempt, does he hate her for her low IQ or….
Every time she came to Starbucks, she would feel uneasy in her heart and come up with different scenarios from Plan A all the way to Plan Z.
But every time, he didn"t come.
After that practice session, his QQ has been offline. Clearly, during their YY session, he had resolutely told her, "You don"t have to worry about it. If someone doesn"t like it, it"s my fault." But after that night, he disappeared without a trace and returned to being the high and aloof male G.o.d he is. It almost made her believe that everything that happened was a dream

When “Beyond Expectations” was officially released, Lu Wei Xi, wrapped in a large thick scarf, was sitting half-awake in her Intro to Media cla.s.s. The QQ group chat for Alluring Sounds was abuzz, with alerts coming one after another. Curious, she looked down at her phone and unlocked the screen. The first thing she saw was the 5sing link for "Beyond Expectations".
“......It"s already released?” Lu Wei Xi murmured in surprise, the ballpoint pen shaking in her hand.
Just at this time, Free Magic Star tagged her in a post. However, Lu Wei Xi did not have time to forward the post. The young female professor on the podium who has always been hailed as the "ghost detector" has already seen her little tricks and swept a cold gaze over her. Frightened, she immediately put away her phone.
After a busy day, Lu Wei Xi returned to her dorm room exhausted. She didn"t have time to take off her school bag when she heard Xia Nuan sitting on her bed with her iPad screaming.
Lu Wei Xi was shocked out of her skin, “Xiao Nuan, why are you shouting so late in the day.”
When Xia Nuan heard her voice, almost at the speed of light, she jumped out of bed and went to her, “Ah Xi, Ah Xi, did you know that “Beyond Expectations” is released online today?”
“Of course I know. But I was in cla.s.s during the time so I didn"t get a chance to listen to it.” Still looking wiped out, Lu Wei Xi put down her bag on the table and answered.
“Then do you know that Wonder dada also forward the release of “Beyond Expectations?”
“Ah….are you serious, doesn"t his Weibo only have two posts?” Lu Wei Xi was taken aback and continued, “But it could be because it is his first time working on an ancient drama song or….he is satisfied with the finished product?”
Even Wonder had forwarded it. As the lead singer of “Beyond Expectations,” Lu Wei Xi suddenly and unexpectedly honored. Her low mood the past few days somewhat improved.
“En, let"s not talk about this anymore. What"s even more incredible than forwarding is...do you know what he forwarded?” Xia Nuan cleared her throat and mysteriously urged.
Lu Wei Xi didn"t think much of it and responded, "It"s just a Repost. His first two posts are like this. There was not even a period or a punctuation mark.”
“No, this time it"s not.”
“.....Then what is it?”
Xia Nuan didn"t answer. Lu Wei Xi looked at her in confusion. The long silence created an awkward atmosphere in the room.
