74: Prince Yi arrives

His backend was full of message notifications related to music.

He first refused the signing invitations from those agencies, and then replied to the collaboration invitations from the popular celebrities.

However, when he saw a message from a Singer, he hesitated slightly.

Because this was his favorite powerful female Singer, he had been listening to her songs throughout university.

So when he saw her invitation, he felt a bit conflicted inside.

The complex feeling of wanting to collaborate but not wanting to show his face publicly remained unclear.

Thus, he replied: Thank you very much for the song invitation. I really like the songs you sing and am very willing to collaborate with you, but I don't seem to be ready for public appearances, so please let me consider it a bit more, okay?

"Hoo~"

After replying to the message, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to order takeout for breakfast, his phone rang again.

Seeing the caller ID was Wang Ziyi, he answered the call.

"Hey, Young Master Wang, didn't you sleep last night? Why are you calling me so early in the morning?"

"Oh, I haven't slept in for a long time, okay? Every day I have to get up early to prepare breakfast for my sister."

"My sister wants to come over and play, and see the fish you're raising. I just wanted to ask if it's convenient for you."

"Xiangbei Gege, it's me! I'm Xin Yi. Can I come over and play?"

At this moment, Wang Xinyi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Of course you can! I happen to be free during the day today, so you can come over now."

"If you come later, I'm afraid I'll have something to go out for," Chen Xiangbei readily agreed.

"Alright, we'll come over in a bit. Oh, by the way, have you had breakfast?"

"If not, I'll bring you some on the way. Neither of us has eaten yet."

"Okay, buy a bit more, I have a big appetite."

"OK! Talk later."

After hanging up the phone.

Chen Xiangbei quickly looked at the ecological fish tank.

He found that although it was daytime, the Starlight Fish in the fish tank were still emitting a faint glow.

He immediately pulled open all the curtains, letting the sunlight into the room.

Then he turned on the living room lights, and adjusted the fish tank lights to sunlight mode.

After doing this, he looked back at the ecological fish tank.

He found that under the illumination of various lights and natural light, the Starlight Fish no longer appeared to be glowing.

Only its body showed a faint translucent color, and people who hadn't seen it before wouldn't notice anything.

Just now, he had actually wanted to refuse Wang Ziyi and his sister from coming over.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't just never let people come over as guests, that wasn't realistic.

He lived in such a nice house for his own comfort and to entertain friends and family.

Turning them away would go against his original intention.

So, as soon as he hung up the phone, he quickly verified whether the Starlight Fish's glow could be seen under strong light conditions.

The final answer he got was quite satisfactory to him.

Aching all over, he didn't want to bother with anything else and just sat in the living room scrolling through short videos.

Originally, he had planned not to go out today, just rest at home for a day, record a few more singing videos, and save them to post later.

But due to the arrival of Wang Ziyi and his sister, this plan could only be carried out at night.

8:20 AM.

The brother and sister rang Chen Xiangbei's doorbell.

As soon as the door opened.

"Ding ding ding ding~"

"Xiangbei Gege, look what delicious food I brought you!"

Wang Xinyi was clearly more lively than before, not as socially anxious.

She was holding a large bag of various foods in her hand, with an expectant look on her face, waiting for his reply.

"Wow! Let me see what delicious food Xin Yi brought me?"

"Here~ It's all for you, there's lots of delicious food!"

"There's fresh meat rice rolls, sticky rice chicken, char siu buns, fresh meat buns, soy milk and fried dough sticks, as well as soup dumplings and corn porridge," Wang Xinyi listed off like family treasures.

"Wow, Xin Yi is so thoughtful! You bought me so much delicious food. How about Brother takes you to the amusement park to play another day?"

"Okay, okay! I really want to go to the amusement park!"

"And also, Xiangbei Gege, come here, I have a little secret to tell you!" Wang Xinyi said, beckoning to him.

Chen Xiangbei squatted down and leaned his ear closer, only to hear her whisper.

"When we were buying breakfast just now, my brother said you're like a pig and need to eat a lot to be full."

After saying that, she gave Wang Ziyi a sly look and then ran into the house.

Not long after, she heard her brother's wails coming from outside the main door.

After a while.

She saw Xiangbei Gege walk in with a smile on his face, followed by her own brother covering his arm with one hand.

After Wang Ziyi saw his sister, he muttered irritably: You little ingrate, and here I was so good to you.

Wang Xinyi heard this muttering, turned her head, and made a face at him.

Looking at this pair of troublemakers, Chen Xiangbei shook his head helplessly.

They went to the dining room, put all the breakfast on the table, and the few of them started eating breakfast.

During the meal, Wang Ziyi spoke up.

"My parents are coming back in the next couple of days, so this girl was rushing to come find you, couldn't stop her."

"Isn't that a good thing? Congratulations, you'll be free soon!"

"Ah, what a hard life!"

"Which of our classmates didn't go on a graduation trip after graduating? Only a few of us poor guys are forced by life," Wang Ziyi said gloomily.

"Oh, come on! Anyone else can be forced by life, but you have no right to say that."

"Who in our class is richer than your family? If your parents weren't unreliable, you'd dare to go to the Antarctic for this graduation trip!"

Chen Xiangbei retorted without hesitation.

"What do you say, should a few of us brothers also have a graduation trip?"

"Those girls in our class we're close with didn't go with the class group."

"I was thinking of organizing something, maybe find an island down south for a vacation or something. We'll cover the costs."

Wang Ziyi said with a grand air.

"Don't do that. You can take full responsibility for other things, but not when it comes to money."

"Otherwise, see if they're willing to go with you. They're not like those 'sisters' of yours."

"Those 'sisters' of yours, the more you spend on them, the happier they are."

"According to the personalities of Li Yueling and the others, in their view, you covering all the expenses is disrespectful to both parties."

"What they value is the friendship between each other, not material things. You need to learn to respect them."

"Not everything can be solved with money."

"Haven't you noticed that during university, every girl you pursued ended up not succeeding, but becoming friends instead?"

"This is because what they need is respect, equal treatment from both sides, not you 'keeping' them with money."

"Perhaps, they did all like you, but being with you would be too much pressure, and they felt they weren't good enough for you."

"So in the end, you became good friends instead of lovers."
