After seeing off Li Jinlong, Li Qian and Wang Jinglu had just finished the procedures and found a room. Before Li Qian could even unpack his luggage, Wang Jingxue called from the other side. Upon hearing that her sister said Li Qian had arrived, she told them to rest for a bit, as the five sisters of Wu Su would be taking Li Qian out for dinner tonight.

  Wang Jinglu of course readily agreed.

  Then she saw Li Qian put down his luggage, she stretched out her hand to hold Li Qian's neck, smiling and staring at Li Qian, looking and laughing, Li Qian lowered his head, and the two of them suddenly kissed.

  After a while, Wang Jingluo, who was panting and unable to catch his breath, pushed him away with great effort, her face red and her heart racing. However, she still couldn't bear to leave him and hung on his neck, asking: "Just now outside the hotel, what did that Li Jindong say to you when he pulled you back?"

  Li Qian's eyelids jumped, and he said: "What else can be said? It's nothing more than that set, let me have time to call him. He said there are several hotels nearby with special services, and the service staff is particularly beautiful! So, he was afraid I wouldn't appreciate being invited to dinner, so he wanted to invite me to try a special service, and it's said to be a dragon!"

  Wang Jinglu reacted after a while, finally understanding what Li Qian said. She couldn't help but let go of him, her moist eyes staring at him, pouting and saying: "You're not allowed to go, do you know that?"

  Li Qian spread his hands, "Then you see, I'm so suffocated every day, and I often get up in the middle of the night to wash my underwear. Experts say that blocking is not as good as unblocking, and if I continue like this for a long time, it's bad for my body!"

  Wang Jinglu continued staring at him.

  Li Qian continued to spread his hands.

  A moment later, Wang Jinglu's eyes rolled over, a red color flashed across her face, and then she suddenly said: "You think I don't know you guys can use your hands!"

  "Uh..."

  It's a pity to see this, at this moment, Li Qian actually felt that his face was a little hot.

  …………

  Chinese song records, rest room.

  Xie Bing found Sun Ruo Xuan, made up an excuse to get rid of her assistant, and whispered: "That... Little Xuan, after we meet, can you help me apologize to Qian Shao? Tonight I won't be going..."

  Sun Ruoxuan was taken aback for a moment, took a closer look, and found that Xie Bing's face was a bit pale, startling her. She quickly supported her and pressed her to sit down on the sofa, asking with concern: "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

  Xie Bing forced a smile and nodded. "Mm, a bit...not very comfortable."

  Sun Ruoxuan looked at her, Xie Bing locked eyes with her for a moment before quickly shifting her gaze away.

  "Because of Little Snow's sister... right?"

  Xie Bing's face suddenly turned pale.

  But she still forced a smile, turned her head to look at Sun Ruo Xuan and said: "Hey, just stop guessing randomly, help me apologize, just say...just say that another day when I'm feeling better, I'll invite him to dinner again. Apologize to him."

  Sun Ruoxuan sighed upon hearing this.

  "Do you think it's okay just because you pretend you didn't see?" she said.

  Xie Bing lowered her head and fell silent.

  After a moment, big drops of tears suddenly gushed out, her long eyelashes blinked repeatedly, as if trying desperately to hold back, but somehow couldn't control it, and could only let the tears roll down quickly, leaving two long tear marks on her face.

  Sun Ruo Xuan looked at her, then silently stretched out his hand and wrapped her in his arms.

  "But... but I just like him!"

  Xie Bing sobbed, her voice a little distorted, tears falling down pitter-patter, "When we were still in Jinan Prefecture... I already liked him back then! When I liked him, I had no idea he already had someone he liked!"

  It's better not to mention it, but the more I talk about it, the more sorrowful I become, and tears just can't be stopped.

  Sun Ruo Xuan lovingly pulled out a tissue from her bag, which was not far away, and carefully helped her wipe away her tears. "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore, crying will ruin your makeup, and you still have to see him later!... I know, we all know that this is not your fault at all! If anyone is to blame, it's Jian Shao, he obviously has a crush on another girl, why didn't he tell you?"

  As soon as she heard this, Xie Bing hastily turned her head to look at Sun Ruo Xuan, and couldn't care less about her own tear-stained face, which was on the verge of breaking down in sobs. She hurriedly jumped in to explain for Li Qian, "Why blame him? This isn't his fault, okay? Because from start to finish, I hadn't even had a chance to tell him that I liked him..."

  Sun Ruoxuan looked at her and silently sighed.

  Yes, thinking carefully, it's no wonder anyone would be like that.

  In fact, it's not others, but oneself. After going to Jinan Prefecture for a trip and staying there for two months, didn't I dream every day when I just came back? Who was in the dream if not Li Qian?

  How many girls can remain completely unmoved when they meet a boy who is not only handsome and talented, but also considerate and helpful in their career?

  Everyone is excited, but some people can restrain themselves a little, at least before the situation becomes clear, they won't directly show their excitement, while others will be immediately obsessed once they are excited.

  Even after returning to Shuntianfu, everyone gradually understood why Wang Jingxue said that Li Qian could find the song. Others quickly woke up from their beautiful dreams, or even if they hadn't woken up yet, at least they could restrain themselves to some extent. However, this person who had become infatuated would rather pretend not to know and continue to deceive herself until everything was about to be exposed. Her choice was still to escape!

  Is she silly?

  Obviously not.

  She's just in too deep.

  She thought she had covered it up well, but in fact, not to mention the sisters in the group, even her assistant and the staff in the company, as long as they were in frequent contact with her, had already guessed more or less.

  After all, at their current stage, there are almost always people watching her, and she really thought that the thing of sneaking away to make phone calls every two or three days could be kept from others?

  But when it really comes time to break everything open, what will she do?

  What else can be done?

  Thinking of this, for some reason, Sun Ruoxuan suddenly felt a little sour in her nose.

  She lifted her head with effort, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the complex and subtle emotional fluctuations in her heart. However, she couldn't help but tightly hug Xie Bing's shoulders and whispered: "If you really want to cry, then just have a good cry!"

  She sniffled, paused for a moment, and then said: "I've cried enough. I've had my fill of crying, now it's time to either quit cleanly or fight back. What are you afraid of? Just because she met him first, does that mean she has the exclusive rights to him? Are others not even allowed to try? In terms of looks, in terms of being able to make people hurt, and in terms of career, which one of these areas are you inferior to her in?"

  Xie Bing cried with sobs.

  After a moment, as if venting some of the pent-up emotions in her heart, Sun Ruoxuan continued: "You shouldn't be too considerate of Xiaoxue either. This is about romance, this is about competing for men. What's most important for us girls our whole lives? Even if our careers are booming, how many years can that last? By the time we're thirty, do you think there will still be people willing to watch us jump around?"

  "Hmph. Let's not mention anything else, that sister's new album isn't also following this path and becoming popular? When we've been popular for a few years, those even younger and prettier girls will come out one after another, can we still compare to them? In the end, what's most important for a girl in her lifetime is finding a reliable man who has ability and can love you tenderly."

  "We are sisters, no doubt about that. But when something like this happens, it's not even her own man, Xiao Xue's. He's just her sister's, and they're only dating, so can't she steal him? Go ahead and steal him! I don't know about others, but at least I support you!"

  Xie Bing's eyes were red and puffy as she slowly lifted her head to look at her, sobbing intermittently.

  Sun Ruo Xuan picked up her face, "Look, like a little flower cat, I'll make you up later... Let's go. Why not? Later, I'll make you look beautiful, and we'll have a full-scale PK with her!"

  Xie Bing continued to sob, slowly lowering her head.

  "It...it will make him...he'll be in a difficult position!" she choked out.

  Sun Ruo Xuan rolled her eyes and said, "Silly girl! You deserved that!"

  At this time, they didn't know that just a few steps away from the door, Wang Jingxue's hand was suspended on the doorknob, stopping for a full half day, but still not falling. In the end, she let out a soft sigh in her heart and turned to walk away.

  …………

  This dinner was quite good.

  Although the Wang sisters sat there, they didn't have much to say, but Sima Duo and Sun Ruoxuan were quite lively today, plus Zhou Pingping who could join in the fun, Li Qian was having dinner with six beautiful women, just visually, it was absolutely a top-notch dinner party.

  It is said that this dinner was specially arranged by Huang Dazhong, who made a phone call to help the five girls from Wuxingwusuo. The restaurant was also a well-known big restaurant in the entire Shuntian Prefecture, and even the money for inviting guests was taken out of Huage's pocket, so this meal was even more enjoyable.

  At first when they were making an album together in Jinan Prefecture, Li Qian and the others got along very harmoniously. Now that it's been half a year since they last met, naturally there are many topics to chat about.

  What a change in their lives, they are now so red-hot, Li Jian must come to help them with their next album, the unfairness of the Golden Melody Awards, the legendary black curtain, Li Jian should have come and if he did how likely would he win analysis, and so on and so forth...

  She was taciturn from head to toe, only greeting Li Qian when she arrived and asking Wang Jinglu how she was doing, then sat there almost without saying a word, even eating very little. Some people thought she was too boring, so she made an excuse that her body wasn't feeling well, in short, she was just a weak and delicate little green onion.

  Of course, those who are a bit more sensitive can hear it, her throat is indeed a little hoarse.

  Then, after dinner, they were supposed to go out and have some fun together, such as going to KTV to sing loudly. However, since the five girls' profession was singing, they played at KTV every day and weren't interested in it anymore. Considering Li Qian had been on a train all day and must be very tired, everyone agreed to find another time to gather before he left, so after dinner, they dispersed.

  They parted at the hotel entrance. Wang Jingxue took her sister and drove Li Qian back to the hotel, while others went their separate ways.

  Back at the hotel, Wang Jingxue only sat in the room for a short while before leaving, saying she was waiting downstairs. Then, Wang Jingluo couldn't stay long either, so he went back upstairs and sat for another ten or so minutes. The two of them chatted for a bit before heading down.

  He waited until he saw her into the elevator, then Li Qian put away his smile and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his forehead, letting out a helpless sigh.

  …………

  Woken up by a ringing phone, Li Qian subconsciously turned on the bedside lamp and glanced at the electronic clock on the bedside table, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.

  Then he picked up the phone, still half asleep and didn't see clearly who was calling, just hastily pressed the answer button, then fell back into bed.

  "Hello... who is it..."

  Several extremely faint breathing sounds came through the receiver.

  Li Qian was originally dazed and confused, but when he heard the silence on the other end, he blinked and was about to fall asleep again. However, for some reason, it seemed as if a message had been transmitted from the phone, and he suddenly came to his senses, opening his eyes wide.

  "Ah... cough..." Li Qian cleared his throat and sat up halfway with his hands on the bed, "Is... it you?"

  The voice across from me was hesitant and stopped for a moment before saying: "You... are already asleep, right?"

  It's her after all.

  "Ah...... no, I just fell asleep! What's going on, calling at this hour, is something wrong?"

  The person opposite suddenly fell silent again.

  Li Qian had already lost all interest, she didn't speak, Li Qian sat up, holding the phone in his hand, waiting for her to open her mouth.

  As for the romance between himself and Wang Jinglu, Li Qian has always had an attitude of not hiding but also not actively speaking out about it. However, tonight Wu Xingshu gave him a chance to take the lead, and he openly brought her along with him. Although she is Wang Jingxue's sister, participating in this kind of gathering can also be interpreted in other ways, but as long as people are not blind, they can understand what's going on.

  Xie Bing must have known it too.

  Even more so, Li Qian felt that from her performance tonight, from start to finish, there was not a single fluctuation. When she saw herself and when she saw Wang Jinglu, she only calmly asked how they were doing, it's very possible that she already knew about this matter beforehand.

  So Li Qian knew that some things had reached a point where they needed to be resolved.

  Although it may still hurt some people, pointing out these things before the other person has a chance to say them is better than waiting until the future when the spearhead meets the millet.

  There will be wounds, but they will heal lightly.

  For a full three minutes, except for the faint hum of electricity, both sides could hear each other's breathing, but no one took the initiative to speak first.

  Finally, Li Qian couldn't help but speak up first, "You cried before dinner tonight, didn't you?"

  It's unclear whether it was Li Qian's gentle tone or something else, but in any case, with just this one sentence, the floodgates opened on the other end of the phone.

  Li Qian held the phone in his hand and fell silent again.

  After a moment, she choked on the phone and said: "I... I call you like this, is it... is it not very good?"

  Li Qian fell silent for a moment and then softly said "uh-huh".

  His answer was... um.

  At this moment, Xie Bing almost completely lost control, the sobbing that had been suppressed earlier suddenly burst out, she cried and said: "Then... then I won't call you again!"

  For some reason, after hearing this sentence, Li Qian suddenly felt a sour heart.

  "Ice sister... Little Ice... Actually..."

  But she was crying so hard, as if the grievances that had been suppressed for a long time could be vented out without any scruples at this moment. She couldn't even hear what Li Qian was saying, and she just sobbed and said: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry!"

  Li Qian suddenly fell silent.
