Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

"But every time I video chat with her and see her smiling on the other end, I feel like it's all worth it."

Ding Hengzhi got goosebumps all over his body from listening to this...

"Chen Mo, you're quite the artsy type."

Chen Mo scratched his head sheepishly: "Just being sentimental, just being sentimental."

Perhaps moved by Chen Mo's sincerity, Ding Heng couldn't help but start to ponder.

Will I feel the same way when Hua Qing goes to the capital in the future...?

Ding Heng also tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle, his eyes bright yet melancholic...

My phone suddenly vibrated.

【A Sea of ​​Flowers Under a Sunny Day】: I'm downstairs in your dorm.

Ding Heng got up, walked to the window, and looked down. A white new energy vehicle was parked quietly by the roadside.

He greeted Chen Mo and turned to go downstairs.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ding Heng looked at Hua Qing.

"What does the senior want with me?"

Hua Qing took a shoebox from the back seat and handed it to him.

"I bought this for you."

Ding Heng took it and opened it; inside was a pair of sneakers.

The design is quite nice, with a classic color scheme and good quality.

He glanced at the price tag; it was around a thousand yuan, which was considered mid-range for this brand.

Ding Heng looked up, his expression puzzled.

Not right.

Given Hua Qing's personality, even if she accepts the so-called "girlfriend" status, she would never take the initiative to give him gifts.

It's still about giving sneakers, a common and popular gift.

"Who gave it to me, Sister Jiao?"

Hua Qing pursed her lips.

"I asked the dance team what would be a good gift for a boy, and they said sneakers are always a safe bet."

"Senior, just say what you need to say."

Ding Heng chuckled and put the shoebox aside: "Are we being too formal?"

Hua Qing remained silent for a few seconds.

"About next Saturday... I might have something to do."

"what's up?"

"The school arranged for me to participate in a variety show, on Hunan TV."

"Do we have to go?"

"It's not that it's necessary... it's just..."

Hua Qing didn't finish speaking, but Ding Heng already understood.

"Did the senior student really want to go?"

Hua Qing remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescence.

Ding Heng leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment.

Although Hua Qing usually appears aloof and indifferent to everything, her passion for dance has never waned.

This rare opportunity to perform is extremely important for a dancer.

Ding Heng sighed, "If you have something important to do, you could just tell me. Why did you have to come all this way to give me a gift?"

Hua Qing asked cautiously, "Aren't you angry?"

Why should I be angry?

"Last time..."

Hua Qing avoided meeting Ding Heng last time by lying that she was going to participate in a dance competition, and ended up getting a severe punishment, which she still can't forget.

Seeing Hua Qing's lingering fear, Ding Heng couldn't help but chuckle: "Last time it was because you deliberately lied to me, otherwise I wouldn't have been willing to punish you."

Hua Qing subconsciously touched her buttocks, and a thought popped into her mind—Ding Heng seems to be quite reasonable.

Ding Heng joked, "Okay, when does the show air? I'll set my alarm to watch it!"

"The specifics are still unclear, and there's another matter..."

Hua Qing looked a little embarrassed, but before she could finish speaking, Ding Heng's phone vibrated again.

[Sister Long is a dragon, not a milk dragon]: Sister Long is coming back next week, remember to come and welcome her!

[Ding Heng]: Why did you come back?

【Sister Long is a dragon, not a milk dragon】: Our whole group is participating in a variety show to promote our concert tour.

Ding Heng: Oh.

[Sister Long is a dragon, not a milk dragon]: [Milk dragon angry.jpg]

[Sister Long is a dragon, not a milk dragon]: Oh what?! Can you be a little more emotional?! We brothers can meet again!

Ding Heng was about to reply when he suddenly realized something and turned to look at Hua Qing.

"Senior, the variety show you went on, the guest on that episode wouldn't be......"

"Um……"

Hua Qing said dejectedly, "The guests are the entire Aurora Eos group. After my performance, there will be an interaction segment with them. The specific details will be rehearsed on Friday."

Ding Heng said worriedly, "What a coincidence? Senior, don't let your meeting with Long He lead to another argument."

Hua Qing said, looking aggrieved, "She's a big star, how could I dare..."

"What does the senior mean?"

"Ding Heng..."

Hua Qing's expression changed repeatedly before she finally took a deep breath and made up her mind.

"Could you please plead with Long He for me? I worked so hard to get this opportunity, and I don't want to waste it... So as long as she doesn't get the production team to replace me, I can apologize to her!"

Ding Heng realized once again how important dance was to Hua Qing.

"Is this program related to your upcoming competition, senior?"

"Yes! Because my subsequent competitions were also on Hunan TV's variety shows, with the same director, so..."

"I see!"

Ding Heng finally understood. No wonder Hua Qing had taken the initiative to approach him today and even learned to give him gifts!

In variety shows like this, if Longhe says during rehearsals that she doesn't like a certain segment, the production team will most likely cancel it. By the way, it's easy to guess that Huaqing and Longhe have a grudge.

Longhe's mother originally came from Hunan TV and has good relationships with everyone from top to bottom. In addition, she is now the head of the entertainment division of a major internet company.

In order not to offend her, Hua Qing might even be blacklisted.

For example, she was eliminated in the first round of the dance competition...

Of course, this is from Hua Qing's perspective; Ding Heng certainly believes in his brother's character.

"Don't worry, senior. Long He isn't an unreasonable person. Just pretend you don't know her during rehearsals."

Ding Heng tried to comfort her, but Hua Qing only felt more aggrieved.

Do you mean I'm being unreasonable?

Ding Heng: "?"

Did I mean that?

Hua Qing spoke first again: "Besides, I wasn't the one who started it last time!"

"Okay, okay, stop, stop."

Ding Heng raised his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Even a woman with a cool and aloof personality like Hua Qing, why does she still like to argue about who's right and who's wrong?

Ding Heng's phone vibrated again.

[Sister Long is a dragon, not a milk dragon]: Bro, say something!

[Ding Heng]: Let's talk about it later, brother. Your work is important. Let's discuss our meeting later...

[Sister Long is a dragon, not a milk dragon]: [Milk dragon rolling its eyes.jpg]

After replying to the message, Ding Heng confirmed again: "Senior, do you really want to go?"

"Um……"

"Row!"

Ding Heng got out of the car and made a final promise: "Don't worry, senior, I guarantee with my integrity that Longhe will absolutely not make things difficult for you!"

After closing the car door, Ding Heng watched Hua Qing drive away, then stood there for a while, lost in thought.

Should I go with them?

Go ahead and go. I'm afraid the two women will get even angrier and might actually start fighting on stage.

If I don't go, I'm afraid they'll really start fighting and no one will stop them.

He was pondering whether he should try to persuade Long He in advance when his phone suddenly rang.

It was a video call from Zhao Yanxi, and Ding Heng clicked to answer.

Zhao Yanxi's face popped up on the screen, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"Brother Ding Heng!"
