three

Qing Ying, please calm down

What should I do? Is it going to cause trouble again?

Always causing trouble for myself, can I really stay well at Pinkgirls? Watching the scattered blue smoke from the barbecue grill, Xu Qingying fell into deep thought

Xu Wanqiao slowly released her hand, blocking the young man's line of sight: "Sir, you have already caused trouble for me and my friend. If you have something to ask, you can inquire with me first, allowing my friend to rest."

"Good girl." Xu Wanqiao finally straightened up, patted her head, and then took her hand, "Just in time, today Mom brought some wine to share with Aunt Zhen, let's go in and have a little bit too."

Upon seeing Xu Qingying enter, her mother, dressed in a white dress, stepped forward to intercept her. Without taking a closer look, she pushed her forward and said: "You child, how could you come in alone without waiting for Wanqiao? Wanqiao has been waiting outside for you since early this morning, truly thoughtless."

She turned around to say something to him, only to find that in just one short day of not seeing him, Xu Wanqiao seemed to have become even more handsome at a new height

Seeing that she had not yet come to a conclusion, Xu Wanqiao raised her hand and patted her head: "Fool, what seems like suffering to you is indeed a win-win situation. Falling into a pile of flour creates a highlight for the show, and for them, isn't this also an opportunity?"

Furthermore, Jin Bei's remarks are not incorrect; as newcomers, you do not have the right to be picky. If you dare to question the program now, what will happen when you become popular in the future? From the perspective of the program, such guests are indeed unpopular. Therefore, under the same conditions, why not choose obedient guests who can generate topics?

Right now

Xu Qingying, who was hiding in her room, suddenly felt a pang of regret for her impulsiveness. Although the Xu family were neighbors and often visited each other, this should not have been her justification for losing her temper, especially since Aunt Mei had always been so kind to her. Whenever Wan Qiao had something, Aunt Mei would always prepare a portion for her as well.

The darkening sky serves as a signal, and the night market stalls near the community gradually set up, with tables densely packed in the square. Xu Qingying casually chose a table to sit down at; she did not wish to go to a high-end restaurant, but rather wanted to indulge in a hearty meal by the street.

Xu Qingying listened to his words and for the first time realized that her dream was not an isolated existence; it now seemed to be intertwined with the entire Pinkgirls and even Akimoto Company.

Xu Qingying opened her eyes somewhat unhappily and indeed saw Xu Wanjiao's chin, which was as exquisite as a sculpture

Xu Qingying nodded, unable to resist fiddling with her bangs, trying to cover her face

"You have mistaken the wrong person. My friend is feeling a bit unwell, so please do not disturb us." A cold response came from Xu Wanqiao above, her voice tinged with a hint of urgency

Jin Bei, thank you. It seems this girl won't wake up for a while, you can go back first, I will take her inside.

Xu Qingying did not struggle and followed Xu Wanjiao home. It was not until they were about to enter the house that she remembered, when had she forgiven him?

"It's fine, just take this move." Xu Wanqiao chuckled softly, thinking that with Qinger being so stubborn, it would be impossible without using some extraordinary measures

Xu Wanqiao skillfully ordered food according to Xu Qingying's taste, then sat down and gazed at the dazed Xu Qingying without saying a word

Moreover, today she indeed acted somewhat unreasonable in front of Xu Wanqiao. It seems that whenever she is faced with him, she becomes utterly unrestrained

Is there anyone who would rush to suffer? How strange is that

No, it is the impression of the audience. The entertainment industry is changing so rapidly now, and you are newcomers. If you cannot quickly make a lasting impression on the audience, who knows what your outcome will be? Therefore, even if the performance is not particularly outstanding, among the sixteen of you, the ones the audience remembers first are those who fell into the pile of flour

Before Xu Wanqiao could utter her words of comfort, a cheerful voice rang out in the room: "What are you two dawdling at the door for? Wanqiao, why did it take you so long to pick someone up?"

What are you saying? Qīngyīng is so young and already has to work; shouldn't we be a bit more sympathetic towards her? Moreover, they have been like this since childhood, and Wǎnqiáo is only this patient with Qīngyīng.

Seeing her look of self-blame, Xu Wanqiao felt a pang of sympathy and directly pulled her into her embrace, gently patting her back: "Everything will be fine, Qingying, don't be afraid. I'm about to start my internship at the television station, right? I will be by your side then"

After speaking, he lowered his head and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Wait a moment, I will hold him back. The moment I let go, you must hurry to the company and absolutely do not go home. Even if the news comes out tomorrow, as long as you are at the company, someone will be there to vouch for you."

It is Peng Peng wearing a bow tie and Su Miaona with a serious expression

"Qing Ying, are you sure you want to discuss this issue with me at the door?"

Xu Wanqiao, please take me out to relax

The gray embossed lettered crew neck sweater is worn over a blue cotton shirt, with the collar slightly open, revealing a pearl-sized shirt button. The gray is accentuated by his fair skin, making it appear even softer, as if he is enveloped in warmth. The blue and white checkered pants complement the blue shirt, enhancing his already tall and slender figure.

Just as I got off the car, you said 'good'. Qingying, one must not speak without keeping their word. Xu Wanqiao let out a light sigh; she had come back to her senses too early and had not yet had the chance to pull him into the room to ask for clarification.

Qing Ying, your thoughts are commendable, but you lack experience in communicating with television stations. In the future, when faced with such situations, your first reaction should be to consult your agent. Jin Bei has more experience dealing with television stations, and he is more suited to handle such matters, employing more tactful methods.

This is the secret code they agreed upon. When they were young, Xu Wanqiao did not know how many times she had taken Xu Qingying, who was locked at home to do homework, out to have fun like this.

"Wan Qiao, wait a moment." Seeing Xu Wan Qiao's somewhat nervous expression, Qing Ying's mother understood everything; this was merely an excuse Xu Wan Qiao had made for Qing Ying. After all, throughout their lives, whenever Qing Ying had made a mistake, it was Xu Wan Qiao who had smoothed things over. "You should first join us in tasting this wine, let's not waste it."

As Xu Qingying woke up, Jin Beiliu cheerfully left a remark, "I will pick you up at 5 o'clock tomorrow," and drove away.

As you command, my princess

In a daze, Xu Qingying seemed to hear Xu Wanjiao's voice

This beautiful young lady, would you be willing to go out for a drive with me

Xu Qingying had no time to think carefully, she placed her hand on his, then climbed out of the windowsill and fell into his warm embrace

It is alright, I will keep an eye on her

not ... ...

"Qing Ying, please don't be angry, okay?" Xu Wanqiao's face was only ten centimeters away from hers, and the warm breath he exhaled brushed against her face as he spoke. "If there's anything that's bothering you, please tell me, okay?"

Why is Xu Wanqiao's voice getting louder?

Are they working so hard in places where they cannot see? Xu Qingying leaned against the door, feeling somewhat dejected, as if she had almost ruined their efforts.

Opportunity? The opportunity to be wrapped into a 'flour person'?

Hearing the crisp sound of the door closing behind Xu Qingying, her mother felt somewhat displeased and immediately intended to follow her. Without a second thought, Xu Wanqiao blocked her way and said, "Aunt Zhen, Qingying is feeling a bit unwell; she even fell asleep from exhaustion in the car just now"

Then what should I do? The night market is becoming increasingly lively, and people are gradually filling the tables around her. The bustling noise makes her voice seem even smaller. I am the face of the team, but I really do not like this. I... I do not know I would cause so much trouble...

The sky has darkened, and Xu Wanqiao stands against a backdrop as dark as ink, with a gentle breeze lifting his hair. The warm white light of the streetlamp falls upon him, enveloping him in warmth. He gently raises his hand, making an inviting gesture

However, having just had a quarrel, how could he possibly appear

Xu Qingying, who was pushed to the center of the living room by her mother, slightly raised her head and saw a beautiful aunt wearing the same style of black dress as her mother, smiling gently at her. The coin-sized pearl earrings on her earlobes made her appear as if she was enveloped in a layer of light, enhancing her gentleness.

His face gradually magnified before her, the deep-set features looming closer, the narrow eyes sparkling with a gem-like brilliance, the fan-like thick eyelashes fluttering... Xu Qingying seemed to feel the breeze created by those eyelashes gently brushing against her heart...

While deep in thought, Xu Qingying suddenly heard three crisp knocks coming from the closed window. She joyfully turned around and ran over, pushing the window open with a flourish. Standing outside the window was none other than Xu Wanjiao!

The music played again, and the two did not exchange unnecessary words, seamlessly resuming their practice. Their unmade-up faces were covered in sweat, and even the gray quick-dry shirts they wore showed faint traces of perspiration.

Xu Qingying, disregarding everything else, hurriedly stood up with her head down and quickly walked to the side. Behind her, she could hear the boy talking to Xu Wanqiao, the voices growing louder, yet she did not dare to look back. Please, please, the trouble she had already caused was enough; she absolutely could not afford to add another!

Xu Qingying watched the black nanny van drive away and found it somewhat amusing. Usually, they were strictly guarded against allowing her to come into contact with male celebrities, so is it really okay to so directly throw her to Xu Wanqiao now?

"Good..." As if enchanted, Xu Qingying hazily agreed. Then she saw a sudden smile appear on that excessively beautiful face, reminiscent of peonies blooming in April, captivating her in an instant. It seemed that just by looking at the small dimple on his cheek for one more second, her heart would be thrown into disarray.

May I ask... are you a member of Pinkgirls? I believe your name is Xu Qingying, is that correct?" A somewhat hesitant male voice suddenly came through.

Really? Is there nothing wrong with Qingying?

"Qing Ying, are you still angry?" Xu Wanqiao walked over and gently held Xu Qingying's hand

However

Qing Ying, you have arrived home, quickly wake up

Xu Wanqiao gently rubbed the slightly reddened eyelids of Xu Qingying with her hand and softly said, "Shall we go back to the room and talk later? Everyone is still waiting for us."

Aunt Mei's words precisely struck at Xu Qingying's hidden concerns, making her heart feel even more bitter. After she gently inquired about her well-being, she did not look at the expression of Xu Wanjiao, who had hurried in after her, and quickly walked back to her room

Is there really such a reason behind this... ...?

Listening to his gentle comfort, Xu Qingying finally felt her heart settle down, and her mind involuntarily recalled the indifferent expressions of Peng Peng and Jin Beileng at the television station today

Why can't I say it? Do you think I am wrong like they do?

Xu Qingying felt somewhat unhappy, waving her hand but not waking up. Suddenly, she felt her body suspended in the air, and then she fell into a warm embrace. A familiar scent of perfume wafted into her nose, and she leaned her head over to nuzzle comfortably.

"Do you have nothing to say?" Xu Qingying asked, unable to tolerate his calm demeanor.

What is the situation?

I... I just felt that my friend was wronged and wanted to help, but it wasn't until Jin Bei said something that I realized how serious the consequences of my actions could be. My approach was incorrect. Xu Qingying's expression darkened. She had never imagined that there would be so many troubles on her path to pursuing her dreams

So, did she really do something wrong

What on earth is the reason? Xu Qingying finally recalled what had happened before she fell asleep. The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, her eyes reddening as she asked, "Do you also think I was wrong?"

But... but you can't be so close to me! There are differences between men and women, do you understand?" Xu Qingying's blush became even more pronounced... Just a little closer and... it would be a kiss...

"Wait... wait a moment! When did I ever forgive you?" Xu Qingying couldn't help but ask as he skillfully entered the password and opened the door.

Qing Ying, you do not want Peng Peng and Su Miao Na to fall into the flour pile, do you? In your view, they are suffering, but have you asked them if they are willing?

She was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that she was actually in Xu Wanjiao's arms, while Xu Wanjiao remained unfazed, holding her as she discussed tomorrow's itinerary with Jin Bei

Just when she was feeling restless, Xu Wanqiao suddenly turned around, using her back to block the boy's hand, her words filled with warning: "Please be more respectful and do not touch me!"

Indeed, she is about to engage in an activity that is beloved by the general public—skewering meat

"Alright, Aunt Zhen," Xu Wanqiao nodded helplessly, her gaze drifting past the several parents gathered in the living room discussing matters, landing on the tightly closed door of Xu Qingying's room

Is that so? That boy seemed a bit hesitant, moving around to Xu Wanqiao's back to get a clearer look at Xu Qingying's face. "I really like the new song by Pinkgirls; I've watched the MV dozens of times back and forth. Just now, while sitting next to you, I was observing. Your friend... looks exactly like Xu Qingying." As he spoke, he even reached out his hand, trying to pull Xu Qingying, who was only partially visible from Xu Wanqiao's embrace.

Alright, just now when Peng Peng got out of the car, there was such a commotion, yet this girl didn't wake up. It seems she is truly exhausted

Aunt Zhen, you can rest assured. I have asked, and there are no major issues, just that she needs to rest well. I will go check on her

After a long wait by the roadside, Xu Qingying hurriedly got into the back seat of the taxi and quietly said, "Please take me to Qiuyuan Company."

Recalling Xu Wanjiao's enlarged face just now, Xu Qingying couldn't help but blush: "Xu Wanjiao! Why do you always use your charm? You've been using this trick since childhood."

She glanced at the time; nearly two hours had passed. The meal should be finished by now. It shouldn't be too abrupt for her to go out at this moment, should it?

I wonder how sad she will be? He really finds it difficult to just leave it alone.

However, when she reached the door of the practice room, she faintly heard the sound of music. She gently pushed the door open and saw two people practicing to the music.

There is no but. The voice of Qingying's mother grew softer, to the point where only the two of them could hear it. "Wanjiao, you cannot pamper her like a child; otherwise, she will never grow up. I didn't allow you both to attend the same school back then because I was afraid Qingying would become too dependent on you. Some difficulties can only be overcome by herself."

Arriving at the company, Xu Qingying smoothly made her way inside. Today, due to participating in a television program, Jin Bei specifically gave everyone a night off, so the practice room should be empty now

What is there to say? Haven't you figured it out after staying in your bedroom for so long?

Jin Bei, you are my agent; it is not appropriate to sell my schedule in front of me, is it? With a bit of morning grumpiness, Xu Qingying struggled to jump down from Xu Wanjiao's embrace

Xu Qingying's head was still buried in Xu Wanjiao's embrace, and she could clearly feel Xu Wanjiao's body stiffen. Without thinking, she knew she wasn't in a much better situation. She had thought that no one would recognize her just after debuting, but unexpectedly, she ran into a fan while having skewers! Moreover, she and Xu Wanjiao were still maintaining this strange posture!

Xu Qingying also felt that her current sentimentality was inappropriate, yet she found it difficult to lower her pride, so she could only brush aside his hand and hurriedly ran into the living room with her head down

Xu Qingying snorted, wanting to shake him off, but unexpectedly found herself tightly held by him
