Chapter 1, Formation Night

Congratulations to Wu Xuanrong! Center stage on the night of reaching the peak

She knows that Wang Zhou's girlfriend would never give up on the contract, so she can only give up on Wang Zhou

Ten years ago, the Penguin chat software was all the rage across the country, with almost everyone having at least one account. However, as time has passed, the Penguin chat software has become synonymous with outdated chat applications, and apart from nostalgic memories, very few people still remember it

The audience reached a climax at this moment

What time does the finals of the team competition end?

The great king of the Zhou Dynasty: Lin'an

She is waiting, and she is still somewhat worried about Wang Zhou

Let me put it this way, we are not just ordinary online acquaintances; we have been friends for ten years.

You must hold on!

Apart from not knowing who each other is, they talk about almost everything. They are very familiar with each other, to the extent that they understand their own inner worlds even better than the other does.

A sprout: Well... congratulations

At 9:45 PM, all live performances had concluded, and the voting channels were subsequently closed

"Is he going to break up? Why do I feel a hint of happiness?" Xu Qingzhu furrowed her brows, feeling somewhat perplexed

Wang Zhou believed that with his presence, Zhao Minzhi's resources would undoubtedly be abundant, as he had gradually recalled many things that did not belong to this world since his first year in college and through his studies.

At this moment, Xu Qingzhu furrowed her delicate brows as she looked at the conversation on the screen. A hint of worry surfaced on her face, which had been praised by netizens as the pinnacle of beauty in the entertainment industry.

... ...

Indeed, the last two seats belong to the two of them! However, which one of them will be the biggest winner tonight?

Wang Zhou specifically rushed from the Magic City today, solely to be by his girlfriend's side and witness her moment of glory up close. Although he did not have the opportunity to enter the live broadcast venue, and his girlfriend had repeatedly told him that it was unnecessary for him to come, he felt that as her boyfriend, he could not be absent during such an important moment in her life

A sprout: I happen to be free and bored, so I will accompany you to witness this historic moment

In the café at the post station, Wang Zhou is happy for Zhao Min. Although it is the second position, the resources will not be significantly inferior to those in the C position. As for the road ahead, it will depend on individual abilities.

A sprout of green: where can I see it?

The slightly tense expression on Wang Zhou's face disappeared as he instinctively clicked on the pop-up message, and the phone interface switched.

A sprout, where are you, my lord

Zhou Dynasty King: I am at a nearby café attached to the television station, she does not know I am here, and I plan to surprise her later

She is Wu Xuanrong

Then ... ...

The great king of the Zhou Dynasty: She didn't make me come; I came of my own accord. After all, it is her group formation night, and I feel it would be inappropriate to be absent.

The host took the stage, holding the list of the 11 members who had formed the group. The tense atmosphere reached its peak in an instant. Soon, nine individuals walked to the center of the stage and stood in their designated positions, each delivering a speech, truly becoming a part of "Idol 101".

Only two spots remain

Zhou Dynasty's Great King: Qie Video, click to log in, the live broadcast entrance is being promoted on the homepage cover, click to enter and you will be able to see it

A sprout: Did you come by yourself? Does she know? Where are you now?

Xu Qingzhu opened the live broadcast and looked on earnestly. As a popular singing star, she rarely pays attention to these talent shows aimed at newcomers.

What should I do? Should I give him a heads-up in advance? Xu Qingzhu was somewhat troubled, unsure of how to broach the subject

A sprout: Alright, I have entered

Lin'an, the station café at https://www.hetushu.com

It is not that they do not trust each other and deliberately conceal the truth, but rather that they do not want to disrupt the status quo by knowing who the other person is. They have become mirrors reflecting each other's inner worlds.

All rise

"A sprout of green": Have you come to Lin'an? Is it your girlfriend who invited you to the group event to cheer and support?

Zhou Dynasty King: Hmm

The great king of the Zhou Dynasty: On the path

If Wang Zhou were to be abandoned, would he be able to endure it, after all, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts

Wang Zhou quickly opened his phone and sent a message to Zhao Minzhi, letting her know that he was waiting for her at the 'Yizhan Café'

She is in the entertainment industry and is well aware of its underlying rules, especially regarding the recent selection process for the group formed from the "Youth Idol" competition, where all members will be required to sign with Tianlai Entertainment Company. One of the primary conditions of the contract with Tianlai Entertainment Company is that members are prohibited from dating during the contract period, unless they reach the level of a diva.

Zhou Dynasty King: 10 o'clock

The scene was filled with enthusiastic applause and cheers

In the end, I thought it over and decided to let it go

Wang Zhou sat in the corner by the window, wearing headphones, watching the idol training program "Youth Idol" jointly created by Strawberry TV and Penguin Entertainment. Tonight is the peak night for the formation of the group

Has your girlfriend formed a group?

Xu Qingzhu, feeling somewhat irritable, tossed her phone onto the bed. It was already past 10 o'clock, yet she felt not a trace of sleepiness.

Yay

... ...

His girlfriend Zhao Minzhi is a contestant on "Youth Idol." Over the past few months, she has overcome numerous challenges and reached the final competition through her strength and hard work. She is one of the few individuals predicted by many media outlets to have the greatest chance of forming a group tonight

Compared to Wang Qi's expectation for his girlfriend to form a group, Xu Qingzhu actually hopes that his girlfriend will regret being eliminated. At least in that way, they can continue to be a couple; otherwise, she might have to witness a tragic breakup tonight

Tonight, he intends to share these with her, as they are also the group gift he is giving to Zhao Minzhi

Wang Zhouping hardly uses it on a daily basis, yet he has not uninstalled it, simply because there is a friend he frequently contacts on the Penguin chat software. Strictly speaking, they are online friends.

On weekdays, Wang Zhou and Xu Qingzhu chat, deliberately avoiding any traces related to their identities

And each of those memories can make Zhao Min take off from the spot!

However, the name Zhao Min keeps bouncing on the bullet screen, and she is the strongest contender for the C position tonight.

Wang Zhou was watching the video with a hint of nervousness, as Zhao Min had not yet been called by name

The notification from the Penguin account has sounded

Beep beep

However, Xu Qingzhu is now watching very intently; she does not mind guessing who Wang Zhou's girlfriend might be.

Congratulations to Zhao Minzhi for successfully forming a group in second place

The host took a deep breath in the middle, causing both Zhao Minzhi and Wu Xuanrong to feel a tremor in their hearts

At this moment, the penguin number rang again

Now let us look forward to the birth of the center position in "Youth Idol" tonight, will it be ... Zhao Minzhi ... or Wu Xuanrong ?

"The great king of the Zhou Dynasty": Happy! Let's not talk for now, I am going to deliver a surprise

Xu Qingzhu, relying on her woman's intuition, judged that Wang Zhou wanted to surprise his girlfriend, but his girlfriend might give him a scare instead

In the suite, Xu Qingzhu let out a soft sigh, silently praying in her heart

At the same time, I do not know why, but a trace of happiness unexpectedly arose deep within my heart

In the most luxurious five-star hotel in Lin'an City, in a deluxe suite on the twelfth floor, the famous singer Xu Qingzhu leans against the edge of the bed, holding a mobile phone. The phone displays the interface of a messaging app, with the chat window showing 'King of the Zhou Dynasty'.
