    The next night, in order to celebrate the successful conclusion of the talent show, the organizers booked a five-star hotel and held a grand banquet.

    All contestants, whether they have debuted or not, are invited, and the staff behind the scenes who have worked hard for several months can finally come to the front.In addition, there are also representatives from major entertainment companies and some famous celebrities. After all, this is the biggest rookie talent show in the industry this year, and the lineup must be in place.

    Qiao Qiao and the others have become the center of attention since they entered the venue. People kept coming up to talk to Qiao Qiao, which made her put down her chopsticks after chewing two mouthfuls of rice. After eating for a long time, her stomach was still empty.

    Later, Jing Wen found a secluded corner so that the few of them could finally have a good meal.

    It seems that being too famous is not a good thing.

    At this time, a dish of sweet and sour pork ribs was moved to the distance. Qiao Qiao’s chopsticks stopped in mid-air. Jing Wen immediately picked up two large pieces and put them on her plate.

    Qiao Qiao was very pleased: “Xiao Wen is becoming more and more sensible.”

    Haidie: “No, I was still an autistic child before.”

    Mindy stared: “Really?”

    Haidie laughed loudly: “You haven’t seen what Xiaowen was like before. Keep your maternal nature intact.”

    Normally, Jing Wen would pretend not to hear Haidie’s jokes on him, but today he actually pursed his lips and protested in a low voice: “I’m not a child anymore, I’ve grown up.”

    Haidie was happy when she heard this and continued to tease him: “It doesn’t matter whether you are a child or not. You have to do something that adults can do before we recognize you.”

    After saying this, Haidie laughed twice, with a very lewd expression.

    Mindy couldn’t stand it anymore: “You are about to make your debut. Can you be more serious and not be embarrassed if you are photographed by the paparazzi?”

    Haidie immediately slapped herself: “Yes, you get used to it, you really have to pay attention to your image in the future.”

    Qiao Qiao was watching the two bickering with relish when she suddenly felt her arm being touched. She turned around and saw Jing Wen looking at her solemnly.

    Qiao Qiao put down his chopsticks unconsciously: “What’s wrong?”

    “I have something to tell you.” The young man’s voice was very thin, with a little trembling at the end, as if he was very nervous, “After the banquet, can you, can you come to the back garden?”

    Qiao Qiao agreed without thinking.

    Jing Wen let out a long breath, then smiled: “Then I’ll wait for you.”

    Qiao Qiao secretly thought that he had really grown up and had little things to worry about.

    After eating for a while, Mindy suddenly covered her mouth with one hand and began to tug Qiao Qiao’s skirt frantically: “Look! Who is that? An artist? He’s so handsome!”

    Qiao Qiao looked up and almost spit out the twice-cooked pork in his mouth. The person standing in the middle of the hall looking around… wasn’t it Cheng Xiu?

    That’s right, since he is a guest arranged by Song Qiyan, the organizer will send him a banquet invitation even out of etiquette, but——

    Qiao Qiao looked at his cold face and plain black clothes.

    Brother, don’t you feel that you are a little out of tune with the surrounding environment?You don’t look like you’re here for a banquet, you look like you’re here to catch someone at a banquet…

    Seeing that more and more people were paying attention to Cheng Xiu, Qiao Qiao quickly stood up and asked him to sit here for fear of causing any trouble.

    Mindy’s eyes widened: “Do you know each other?”

    Qiao Qiao coughed lightly: “Friend, friend.”

    “Oh, I’m so jealous.” Mindy breathed out, “Sister Qiao, how come the men around you are of such high quality?”

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    If you knew our true relationship, this wouldn’t be the thing you should lament.

    But even though Qiao Qiao had been vaccinated in advance and said Cheng Xiu was a friend, she couldn’t control Cheng Xiu’s behavior!The man’s eyes had not left Qiao Qiao since he sat down. He even ate while looking at her, which made Qiao Qiao feel on pins and needles and very uncomfortable.

    Mindy also saw something was wrong and asked secretly: “Sister Qiao, are you two having some trouble? Why is he always staring at you so viciously?”

    Qiao Qiao laughed dryly. Should she be grateful to Cheng Xiu for his calm face?

    Probably out of a simple mentality of protecting Qiao Qiao, Mindy stood up and said, “How about I call Mr. Song over? I think he seems to have finished his work there.”

    Qiao Qiao gasped in fright and wished he could sew Mindy’s mouth shut: “No, no, it’s fine for us to just eat. Why did you ask him to come? Come on, we just served a plate of peppered mackerel, let’s all try it.”

    “Don’t worry, there are no outsiders at the table.” Mindy winked at Qiao Qiao, “You don’t have to hide and tuck, you should be a little bit – ouch!”

    Qiao Qiao calmly retracted his foot: “Eat first.”

    At around ten o’clock in the evening, the banquet was almost over. Qiao Qiao always remembered the agreement with Jing Wen, so he asked Haidie and Mindy to go back first on the pretext that he had something to do.It’s not that she intentionally concealed it, but since Jing Wen told her alone, he must have his reasons, and there was no need for her to bother with it.

    Well, it’s not easy to handle except for one person.

    But I think Jing Wen is here just to talk to her about something. If Cheng Xiu wants to follow, just follow her and just stay away.

    Qiao Qiao soon turned to the back garden. After looking around, he saw a figure under the statue not far away. Qiao Qiao walked over and saw that it was Jing Wen standing there.

    “Jing Wen!” Qiao Qiao walked over with a smile, “What’s the matter? You have to tell me in private.”

    Jing Wen didn’t smile.

    Qiao Qiao felt something was wrong and moved closer: “What’s wrong with you?”

    Jing Wen: “Qiao Qiao, do you still remember what you promised me?”

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    Damn, this is a good question. She has promised too many things. Which one is she asking?

    Qiao Qiao bit the bullet and said, “Of course I remember it!”

    Jing Wen looked at her seriously. The young man’s eyes were very clear. Under such gaze, you would feel that lying was a huge sin.

    Qiao Qiao persisted for two seconds before losing: “I didn’t mean to forget, but you also know that sometimes my brain doesn’t work well…”

    The young man smiled instead: “It’s okay, I just remember it.”

    Qiao Qiao said “Oh” in embarrassment, thinking to himself that no matter what he promised, he should just try his best. Anyway, he has money now. As long as Jing Wen doesn’t want a house or a car, he should be satisfied.

    Jing Wen: “Who is your person at the dinner table tonight?”

    “Friend.”

    “Qiao Qiao.” Jing Wen smiled, “I can see the meaning in his eyes.”

    “He did-” Qiao Qiao stopped, “Wait, why did you start calling me Qiao Qiao?”

    Jing Wen said calmly: “That’s not important.”

    Qiao Qiao thought about it, and it was right, it was just a title. Anyway, everyone was so familiar with each other, so it didn’t matter if he was called by his first name.

    “Well, we are indeed more than just friends, but this is my private matter.” The implication is that you can go as far as you want. I don’t want to say more.

    Jing Wen: “Does Song Qiyan know?”

    Qiao Qiao gritted his teeth: “This is not what you should ask.”

    “Of course I have to ask because I have the same idea as him.”

    The young man’s eyes were burning.

    Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment: “What do you mean?”

    “You said, if you really get the first place, you must agree to my request.” Jing Wen stepped closer, and Qiao Qiao hesitated and took two steps back. It was at this time that she realized that Jing Wen seemed to have grown taller. In just a few months, he had grown several centimeters, and his face had matured a lot. Looking at it now, he could no longer be recognized as an adult boy.

    Jing Wen’s lips moved, as if he had used all his strength to spit out these words: “I like you.”

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    She scratched her head, feeling terribly worried: “Xiao Wen, I really regard you as my younger brother.”

    “I know, I just want a chance.”

    “Alas…” Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly, “Xiao Wen, I think you may have confused friendship with love. Besides, you have a bright future now and will meet many people who are more suitable for you in the future. You shouldn’t-”

    “You don’t understand.” Jing Wen interrupted her hoarsely, “I didn’t come to this competition for my future!”

    After saying that, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and suddenly came over to kiss Qiao Qiao.

    Jing Wen’s movements were not fast and a little jerky. Rather than being offensive, he looked more like a teenager who was just beginning to have an affair and did something wrong in a panic.It was just like this that made Qiao Qiao hesitant about how to refuse. Otherwise, she would have kicked him away.

    However, before she could think about it, her waist suddenly tightened, and then she was lifted up by a pair of strong arms.

    “Hey, put me down!”

    Qiao Qiao was secretly annoyed that she actually forgot that Cheng Xiu was still in the dark!

    The man didn’t speak, and his black clothes looked like a floating mist in the night.He held Qiao Qiao with one hand and struck Jing Wen on the back of the neck with a knife at a very fast speed. Jing Wen fell to the ground without saying a word.

    Qiao Qiao was shocked: “W-what are you going to do? He is my friend, you can’t kill him!”

    Cheng Xiu remained silent. He picked up Jing Wen’s collar, lifted him up like a chicken, and dragged him towards the hotel.

    Qiao Qiao fluttered vigorously: “Hey, put me down! What on earth are you going to do!”

    Maybe she was flopping too hard. Cheng Xiu stopped and gently placed a hand on Qiao Qiao’s head. He rubbed an unknown acupuncture point and Qiao Qiao suddenly felt a strong sense of sleepiness.

    Before her vision went dark, she heard Cheng Xiu’s voice: “Be good.”

    Be good, uncle!#¥%%#@……!!!

    Put me down if you can!
