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

"and many more."

Hua Qing suddenly spoke, and Ding Heng turned around.

"Is there anything else, senior?"

Hua Qing pursed her lips, her voice a little soft.

"Aren't you...aren't you going up?"

"Forget it, your family must be waiting for your news, senior. Get some rest first, and I'll come see you when I have time."

Hua Qing didn't press the matter further. Ding Heng opened the car door, then remembered something and turned back to speak.

"By the way, senior, please send me your bank account details later."

Hua Qing was stunned.

"what?"

“Starting next month, I will regularly transfer a sum of money to you.”

Ding Heng said casually, "Just consider it pocket money for my girlfriend."

Hua Qing glared at him, her tone a bit sharp: "What are you doing! I only agreed to be your girlfriend, not to be your sugar daddy!"

"Whether you use it or not is your business, whether I give it to you or not is my business. We should treat everyone equally."

After saying that, Ding Heng closed the car door, waved, and turned to leave.

Hua Qing sat in the car, watching Ding Heng's figure disappear into the elevator, and remained stunned for a long time.

To treat everyone equally?

This means that Zhao Yanxi and Wen Jing also have it!

Isn't this still being kept as a sugar daddy/sugar baby...?

But then again.

Since taking on a mortgage, her life has indeed become tight, and lately she has to hesitate for a long time before buying anything.

Ding Heng's "pocket money" was undoubtedly a timely help.

Did he do it on purpose because he realized he was short of money?

Hua Qing had no idea; all she knew was that she was being manipulated by Ding Heng once again…

The elevator goes upstairs and the door opens.

"Meow~"

Black Bean came up to her and rubbed against her feet.

Hua Qing bent down, picked it up, walked to the sofa, and sank into it.

Black Bean lay on her lap, making comfortable purring sounds.

Hua Qing stared blankly at the ceiling, then picked up her phone to charge and began to respond to the questions and concerns from her family and classmates.

After all, she was also one of the main characters in the dinner video circulating online, and was at the very center of public opinion.

Hua Qing took a deep breath and first dialed Hua Yue's video call.

On the screen, Hua Yue's face was very close, with her dormitory bed in the background.

"sister!!!"

Hua Yue's voice was so loud that Hua Qing instinctively moved her phone away.

"You scared me to death, you know! I woke up this morning and saw it trending on social media, and I was terrified!"

Hua Qing looked at her cousin's anxious face on the screen and smiled with a sigh.

"I am fine."

"Nothing my foot!"

Hua Yue gritted her teeth: "Was that old woman surnamed Zhou trying to get you drunk? Was that woman surnamed Liu trying to bully you? Why did you go to the dinner party alone, without anyone by your side, Ding..."

"Ding what?"

"No, it's nothing. I just meant that you should send a message to someone you know."

Hua Yue wanted to question Ding Heng about where he was, asking, "Isn't he your boyfriend?"

But he didn't want to embarrass Hua Qing.

"Don't worry, Long He is on his way."

"Oh right, I was just wondering why Long He was there, and why he was protecting you?"

"She... happened to be recording a program at the same time."

"is it?"

Hua Yue spoke in a flippant tone, clearly not quite believing it.

But I can't understand how my sister could have any connection with a big star.

"Anyway, it's good that you're alright."

She muttered, "Let me tell you, my aunt just called me, she's really worried, you should call her back right away."

"understood."

"besides……"

Hua Yue's expression turned serious: "Sis, seriously, can't we stop being so stubborn? If you don't want to participate in that competition, then don't. Wouldn't it be better to just go to the Beijing Dance Academy for graduate studies? Why do you have to argue with your family like this?"

"I see."

"What do you know?"

Hua Yue sighed: "You always say that, but then you go back to doing whatever you were doing. Can't you listen to your sister's advice today...?"

"I already said I understand, and you're still nagging your sister. Did you even pass your CET-4 or CET-6 exams?"

Hua Qing interrupted Hua Yue, her tone stern.

"Alright, alright! I won't argue!"

She wiped her face: "You should call your aunt right away, she's going crazy with worry."

"Ah."

The video call ended.

Hua Qing found her mother's number and dialed it.

It was answered almost instantly.

"Qingqing!"

Hua's mother's voice came from the other end: "Are you alright?! Mom saw that video. That heartless Zhou Meilan, is she trying to harm you?!"

Hua Qing leaned back on the sofa, feeling guilty but also suddenly wanting to laugh.

"Mom, I'm fine."

"Are you really okay? Don't lie to Mom!"

"It's really nothing. Long He arrived in time, and there's nothing wrong."

"Long He? How do you know her..."

Like Hua Yue, Hua's mother was also curious about why her daughter knew Long He and was being taken care of by him.

"She happens to be filming a show too... Anyway, Mom, don't worry about me!"

How could I not worry!

Hua's mother's voice rose again: "You're all alone in Xingcheng, with no one to take care of you. What if something happens to you... how will your mother live!"

"Who said I'm alone? Don't I have Hua Yue now?"

"That girl is even less discerning than you!"

Suddenly, my father's voice came from the other end of the phone, muffled and indistinct.

Give me the phone.

Then there was a rustling sound.

My father's voice came from the other end of the line, steady but with a hint of tension.

"Qingqing."

"dad."

"Are you okay?"

"fine."

"That's good."

The father paused.

"If we don't participate in that competition, we don't participate. It's no big deal."

Hua Qing remained silent, and her father continued.

“Your mom is right. Wouldn’t it be better to just go to the Beijing Dance Academy for graduate studies? Your teacher, Ms. Qi, called me a few days ago to ask about your situation. She said that as long as you’re willing, she’ll reserve a spot for you anytime.”

Hua Qing bit her lower lip.

"dad……"

I know you have your own ideas.

Her father interrupted her: "We know you want to prove yourself, but think about it, how deep are the waters in that TV station? This is all the family can do. How can your mother and I feel at ease?"

Hua Qing didn't say anything.

Then, my mother's voice came through the phone again.

"That's right! Qingqing, listen to your mother, we're not going to that stupid competition. Your teacher Qi is such a good person. Even when you two had a falling out, he still gave you a high score in the competition! You should let it go..."

"Okay, okay, I'll think about it! I didn't get much rest last night, I need to sleep a little longer, I'll talk to you later..."
