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

Ding Heng recited Chen Mo's speech in its entirety, tilting his head back at a 45-degree angle, his eyes bright yet melancholic.

"The hardest thing isn't the distance, it's that even though I have a girlfriend, I live like I'm single. I eat alone in the cafeteria, go to the library alone, and go back to my dorm alone. When my roommates talk about their relationships, I can only listen and can't join in. Because they can't understand the sweetness I'm talking about. They can't comprehend the torment I'm enduring."

But as long as you can achieve your dream, it's all worth it for me!

In a daze, Hua Qing felt as if she had fallen into a beautiful spring love affair, her mind was dizzy and her heart was pounding.

Upon closer examination, Ding Heng's statement is riddled with flaws.

He has so many girlfriends, how could he possibly eat alone? Go to the library alone? Go back to the dorm alone?

At this moment, Hua Qing's brain was already filled with Ding Heng's sweet words, leaving her with no extra brain capacity to think.

A system notification popped up in my mind.

[Progress of the romantic connection: 64%...65%...66%]

Ding Heng seized the opportunity and took out a gift box from his pocket and handed it over.

"A gift for my senior."

Hua Qing took the gift box and opened it. Inside was a crystal ball, almost identical to her treasured elementary school prize.

Inside the transparent glass sphere, a tiny figure wearing a moon-white Hanfu dress spun around.

Hua Qing took a closer look and discovered that it was actually a small Bluetooth speaker.

Why did you give me this?

"Senior, have you forgotten? I said I'd get you a new toy this Saturday."

"You...you mean this is the new toy you were talking about?"

Ding Heng grinned mischievously and stepped forward to put his arm around her waist.

"What did you think, senior?"

"I...I thought..."

Hua Qing lowered her head, her face burning red.

In my mind, the threads of affection began to race once more.

[69%]

really.

Either a bigger thrill or a truly heartfelt experience.

There's still over 30% of the progress left, it's going to be even harder to complete...

Ding Heng hugged the person in his arms even tighter, his voice soft and ambiguous.

"Senior, for my sake and for your own, please don't give up the opportunity to go to Beijing Dance Academy, okay?"

The two were very close, and Hua Qing could feel Ding Heng's burning heartbeat, making her hesitate.

Suddenly, with a "click," the door was pushed open.

Long He stood at the door, staring at the two people embracing tightly inside the room, his expression stiff.

"Uh... I'm sorry, maybe I came at the wrong time?"

Chapter 115: Hua Qing's Determination

Hua Qing pushed Ding Heng away, sat up from his arms, her face flushed, and lowered her head, not daring to look at Long He.

Long He walked into the room, closed the door, and glared at Ding Heng with annoyance.

He was being scolded mercilessly by his agent, while he was having an affair with another woman.

Ding Heng smiled calmly: "How's the public opinion handling going?"

"Public opinion? What public opinion? The internet is practically praising me to the skies right now."

Longhe walked to the sofa, plopped down, grabbed a large gulp of water from the coffee table, and began to excitedly tell his story.

"Did you know? It seems that Zhou Meilan and Liu Jianming couldn't withstand the pressure of public opinion and have turned themselves in, confessing to all the despicable things they've done!"

Ding Heng remained calm and continued to ask.

"Didn't Aunt Yang call you?"

"Yes, I hit him."

"and then?"

"He didn't say anything."

Long He shrugged: "She said she would handle it for me and told me to think twice before I act next time."

Having only been in the industry for two years, Longhe clearly hasn't yet grasped the deeper operational rules.

In her view, this was a double celebration.

He not only benefited from the traffic boost but also helped his brother.

She was worried that Zhou Meilan and Liu Jianming would dig up dirt on her and retaliate, but unexpectedly, she received good news early in the morning: the two of them surrendered themselves.

Moreover, as more and more dirt on the other party was exposed, her reputation soared, and tickets for the first two shows of her tour were sold out and resold by scalpers at exorbitant prices.

However, Ding Heng knew in his heart that it was probably Yang Sijie who cleaned her daughter's bottom.

Are you going back to Shanghai today?

"Your flight is this afternoon. What's wrong? You're going to miss your sister Long?"

"Consider yesterday something I owe you—"

Before Ding Heng could finish speaking, Long He immediately waved his hand to interrupt him.

"It's too formal for us brothers to talk about this!"

"Shall we talk something more informal?"

"You said."

"When you stop your concert tour in Changsha, could you save a few tickets for me?"

"Keep the ticket?"

Long He was taken aback and asked warily, "How many do you want?"

Ding Heng thought for a moment: "Four cards, I guess."

Long He's eyes widened: "Four! You have four girlfriends?"

Ding Heng covered his face with one hand.

He and Long He went to the same elementary school, and their math teacher was definitely not the same one who taught them physical education!

……

After leaving the hotel, Ding Heng drove Hua Qing's car, intending to take her home.

Hua Qing sat in the passenger seat and didn't say much the whole way.

As they neared home, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Did Zhou Meilan and Liu Jianming really turn themselves in?"

Ding Heng nodded: "Didn't they issue a press release?"

"What's it to you?"

"Does my senior think too highly of me?"

"Then what happened last night..."

"I'm with Yan hope and Wen Jing. Do you want to call them and ask?"

Hua Qing didn't say anything more, but she still felt uneasy.

No matter how big the incident last night became, it was essentially just a failed attempt at a quid pro quo, and netizens didn't dig up any substantial dirt on the matter.

Even if it is unearthed, the official investigation and evidence collection will take time.

But Zhou Meilan and Liu Jianming actually surrendered themselves without any struggle.

Hua Qing quietly observed Ding Heng driving, and then her mind began to wander uncontrollably.

If everything is related to Ding Heng...

What extraordinary abilities did he possess to make those two people surrender so readily?

Thinking that all of this was caused by her, Hua Qing felt a mix of emotions.

She inexplicably recalled the domineering CEO novels she read when she was a child—the male protagonist would do anything for the female protagonist, turning the world upside down and trampling everyone who bullied her underfoot.

When I was little, I thought it was so cool and romantic.

Later I felt it was so silly and childish.

But now...

Hua Qing stole another glance at Ding Heng's profile; the morning light shone across his face, flickering in and out.

No wonder he felt comfortable sending his son to the capital.

Is it because she's certain she can't escape his grasp?

[Progress of romantic entanglement: 70%]

[Ding! The progress of the romantic connection has exceeded 70%, and the stage goal has been achieved!]

[Rewards: Divine Merit +1000, Intelligence +6, Skill "Sword Heart Clarity" upgraded again.]

Ding Heng glanced at the prompt in his mind, then looked at Hua Qing's thoughtful face beside him, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Senior, you're not thinking about something, are you?"

Hua Qing blushed.
