I was slacking off on a dating reality show when the female guests treated me like a treasure chest.

Chapter 138 Liu Ting Arrives

Even now, I still don't know why these guys don't change the group name; it's just weird.

If someone who didn't know better saw this, they would think he created the group specifically to win over the five of them.

Therefore, he was always very careful, otherwise Lin Ran would definitely laugh at him if she saw him.

As time passed, Chen Nian waited at the airport entrance.

Soon, he saw the flight that had taken off from Yandu; it seemed that Liu Ting was on this flight.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Nian stood in the crowd and saw Liu Ting.

Despite wearing a mask and a baseball cap, Chen Nian easily recognized her after a month of getting to know her, and immediately stood in the crowd and waved to her.

"Chen Nian!" Liu Ting spotted Chen Nian immediately. Seeing him standing so ostentatiously in the crowd, wasn't he afraid of being recognized?

In fact, it can be quite difficult to recognize a celebrity sometimes.

Unlike them, Chen Nian is not constantly in the public eye, and his photos appear frequently in the entertainment section.

Ultimately, he was just a creator.

The next moment, Liu Ting walked over quickly, handed the suitcase she was carrying to Chen Nian, and asked, "How long have you been here?"

"Sigh, that took a long time, two hours." Chen Nian sighed slightly, took the suitcase, and led her outside.

"Why did you come so early?" Liu Ting asked, puzzled, but a faint smile remained on her face. "Although I'm very happy."

"What?" Chen Nian pulled his suitcase and looked for a taxi stand ahead.

Seeing him looking around with a puzzled expression, Liu Ting asked, "Why are we looking for the car here instead of going to the parking lot?"

"Find a car," Chen Nian said quietly. The next moment, he saw the pick-up point and led Liu Ting over to queue up.

"Huh? You don't have a car?" Liu Ting only realized what was happening when she joined Chen Nian in the queue.

"No, I only earn six thousand a month, how could I afford a car?" Chen Nian said with a wry smile. "I haven't published a single work, how could I have any money?"

66

"...—." Liu Ting was speechless, rolled her eyes at him, "Didn't you make 300,000 from Su Xiao?"

"The studio is free, right?" Chen Nian replied, following behind the group and occasionally shifting his feet.

It was peak landing time, and the line was very long. I waited for more than 20 minutes before I finally got on the bus.

Chen Nian asked Liu Ting to sit down first. He put his luggage away and was about to sit in the passenger seat when Liu Ting stopped him and told him to sit in the back seat as well.

Chen Nian was taken aback when he heard this, then got into the car and asked, "Where are we going?" He looked at Liu Ting beside him.

"Where to?" Liu Ting blinked and shook her head blankly.

"Didn't you book a hotel?" Chen Nian asked in surprise.

"Shouldn't you be the one arranging these things?"

'

Chen Nian sighed and then said, "Driver, to the Leiden Hotel in the city center."

The next moment, Liu Ting's lips curled up slightly, and she said, "Actually, it's no problem for me to stay at your place."

"Dream on, there's only one bed!" Chen Nian said warily, urging the driver to start the car quickly, afraid that she would change her mind.

Along the way, the two would bicker every now and then, showing no sense of boundaries that is typical between friends.

When the car stopped in front of the Leiden Hotel, Chen Nian got out to help with the luggage, and then followed Liu Ting into the hotel lobby.

When checking in, the receptionist paused for a moment when she saw Liu Ting's ID card, then turned her gaze to Chen Nian, who was carrying luggage, and her eyes lit up as if she had discovered something.

"Is the other person also looking for a room?" the receptionist asked.

"No," Chen Nian replied, feeling that the receptionist's eyes were strange, as if she were infatuated.

"Okay, if it's just a short stay, you don't need to register, but if you're staying overnight, please remember to register," the receptionist said with a bright smile.

"6

"..." Liu Ting realized what was happening, a faint blush appearing on her face, and nodded.

Before long, Liu Ting took the room key and walked ahead, with Chen Nian following helplessly behind. The staff had already helped with the luggage, but he insisted on carrying it upstairs.

After the two turned their backs, the receptionist, looking at her colleague with a lovesick expression, said, "Oh, do you remember the idol I told you about?"

"I remember, wasn't it that Chen Nian guy?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's him, and the one in front of him is my other half, Liu Ting, whom I've been longing to date!!"

"My God, Liu Ting has appeared in Guangzhou. Is she here to meet Chen Nian?"

"They're secretly dating! That's so exciting!"

"Really? Or not? Then why don't you ask them for a photo?"

"No, I can't disturb them, I have to protect them!"

"5

""

Looking at the luxurious business suite before him, Chen Nian exclaimed, "Three thousand eight hundred a night? That's outrageous! Does the company reimburse you?"

Liu Ting opened her suitcase, took out her personal belongings, and replied, "Of course not, I paid for this trip myself because I bought this song in my own name later."

"Oh?" Chen Nian cast a puzzled look at her. Before Liu Ting could answer, his gaze couldn't help but fall on the suitcase, and he blinked innocently.

Liu Ting followed his gaze and looked down at her own panties. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out."

"Cough cough, can't you turn your back to me a little? I'm a man, after all." Chen Nian was speechless and turned around.

After he turned around, Liu Ting continued, "It's very common in the industry to do this under one's own name. I get the song, then I collaborate with the company, giving them money for promotion and distribution channels. That way, most of the profits stay with me."

"Oh, I didn't know you could do that!" Chen Nian exclaimed in surprise, then said, "I should have arranged for Su Xiao's song to be a collaboration like this too."

"Xinghe doesn't seem to support this kind of operation," Liu Ting said.

A short while later, Liu Ting finished tidying her clothes, glanced at her watch, and said, "Okay, take me out to eat, and then we'll go shopping."

"Okay, let me see what good restaurants are around here, it's in a commercial area." Chen Nian took out his phone and quickly located a five-star Western restaurant.

At this time, it's already 9 PM, which is just the beginning of the nightlife in Guangzhou.

After finishing their meal, Chen Nian paid the bill and then took Liu Ting for a stroll in the nearby underground shopping district.

For Liu Ting, who was used to shopping in mid-to-high-end shopping districts, coming to this underground shopping street suddenly filled her with curiosity, and she was frequently attracted by some cheap clothing stores and jewelry stores.

Chen Nian followed behind her. He was in charge of paying for her tonight. Luckily, he brought her to the underground shopping street, otherwise his wallet would have been in trouble.

In just a short while, he was carrying five or six bags.

These clothes might not be expensive for Liu Ting and the others, but they still cost a couple hundred yuan each. Chen Nian realized that he had never worn such nice clothes before.

He was only wearing a little over a hundred pieces of clothing at the moment.

The pants are straight-leg pants I bought for over sixty yuan, the T-shirt was bought online for over forty yuan, and the shoes were over eighty yuan.

"How's this jewelry?" Liu Ting turned around and asked.

Chen Nian was momentarily distracted and didn't know which item she was referring to—the bracelet on her wrist or the hair clip on her head.

"They're all very good, very insightful." Chen Nian simply praised them all.

"Yes, that's right, I think so too." Liu Ting nodded and leaned closer to the mirror to examine the hair clip on her head.

After returning to China, she got a new hairstyle, a fishtail perm.

At this moment, she used a hair clip to hold one side of her curly hair in place, revealing one side of her forehead and eyebrows, which made her look even more charming.

The waiter next to her was initially curious about why the girl was wearing a mask, but upon closer inspection, she was clearly a stunning beauty!

Unless she's the kind of girl whose mouth ruins her whole face, the two waiters on site immediately became very curious.

But the handsome guy next to her was stunningly beautiful, so it was clear that she hadn't found an ugly woman.

"Then let's get two of each of the five shades," Liu Ting said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian stepped forward to pay. Ten hair clips cost a staggering one hundred dollars.

How come he didn't know that the prices in this underground shopping street were so high before?

After paying, Liu Ting continued walking ahead, wearing her newly bought hair clip, stopping every now and then. Before long, she was eating an ice cream.

"This shopping street is great, and there are so many people."

"It's Friday today, so naturally there are a lot of people." Chen Nian was carrying six shopping bags in one hand and an ice cream in the other.

"Waaaaah~~~"

Suddenly, the sound of a flute came from not far ahead.

Liu Ting looked up at the sound and saw a small train slowly approaching, with many people sitting on it.

"I want to sit too!"

"It's inconvenient to carry things, let's ride it next time." Chen Nian looked at this embarrassing little train and didn't want to ride it even if she was beaten to death. Anyway, she would forget about it afterward.

"Okay," Liu Ting agreed.

That night, Chen Nian accompanied her for a stroll through the underground shopping street. After coming to the surface, they walked around a nearby mall, and Chen Nian thought to himself that accompanying a girl shopping was terrifying.

It wasn't until after 11 o'clock that he helped carry a bunch of things back to Liu Ting's room.

Chen Nian put the items down and said speechlessly, "Since you bought them, you should take them back with you, otherwise it's such a waste!"

"Okay, don't worry." Liu Ting eagerly took out the clothes she bought tonight and stood in front of the mirror, trying them on. "We still have some time, want to go for a drink?"

"No, let's rest first. I'll come find you again tomorrow morning," Chen Nian said quickly.

"Okay, then remember not to come too early tomorrow morning. It's rare to have time to sleep in," Liu Ting said with a smile.

Chen Nian nodded, then closed the door for her and went downstairs to wait for the car.

It was past midnight when I got back to the apartment.

Chen Nian looked exhausted and gave up on his workout for the night. After washing up, he lay weakly on the bed.

"Oh, right, I should tell Sister Xia." Chen Nian took his phone and called Wang Xia, asking her to come over again tomorrow at noon.

After giving his instructions, he finally fell asleep, exhausted.

Meanwhile, Liu Ting was soaking in the bathtub, looking at the photos she had taken with Chen Nian earlier that day. The next moment, more than a dozen photos were sent to the strategy group.

A few minutes later, the group chat became lively again.
