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

"Meow."

Black Bean rolled over on her chest.

Hua Qing followed with a "meow," then laughed out loud, only to feel a little silly afterward.

After Ding Heng left the capital, Hua Qing found the afternoons the hardest to endure.

After rehearsals ended, I returned home to find myself alone, with only a cat and four walls.

With no friends and no entertainment, there are only two things to pass the time.

They could either go to the dance studio for extra practice or wait for Ding Heng to call them at any time.

It's okay when I do extra practice; my body is moving, so my mind doesn't wander.

But once she stops, that empty feeling comes from all directions and overwhelms her.

My phone suddenly rang.

Hua Qing picked it up almost reflexively, but when she saw the three words "Fan Chenxi" on the screen, she slowed down.

She took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

"Hey?"

"Hua Qing! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

Fan Chenxi's voice boomed from the receiver: "I left my bag in your car! I only remembered when I got home!"

Hua Qing said politely, "It's alright, I'll bring it to you."

Fan Chenxi readily agreed, "Sure! I was just about to go to the mall to buy some things, do you want to come along?"

"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to take a shower."

"Okay! No rush, take your time!"

The phone hangs up.

Hua Qing put down her phone, gently lifted Hei Dou off her lap, and got up to walk towards the bathroom.

The warm water washed away the fatigue in my body and mind, as well as the boredom brought on by loneliness.

After taking a shower, Hua Qing changed into a clean hoodie and casual pants, dried her hair until it was half dry, and casually draped it over her shoulders.

Twenty minutes later, Hua Qing's car was parked downstairs at Fan Chenxi's house again.

Fan Chenxi was already waiting by the roadside, wearing a light blue light jacket and her hair tied in a high ponytail. She looked much more energetic than usual.

She opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, took the canvas bag from Hua Qing, and thanked her repeatedly.

"Thanks, thanks! I'm so forgetful."

"fine."

Hua Qing started the car and drove towards the shopping mall.

In April, the shopping malls in the capital city have already donned their spring attire.

The two walked side by side on the polished marble floor, and once Fan Chenxi started talking, she couldn't stop.

Hua Qing usually listens quietly, occasionally responding with a few words, without finding it annoying.

When she got to the women's clothing section, Fan Chenxi picked up a dress with a price tag, looked at it, and then quietly put it back.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

She shook her head, her tone exaggerated: "The prices in the capital are really scary. One dress costs as much as half a month's living expenses for me."

Hua Qing glanced at the price tag but didn't say anything.

Fan Chenxi continued, "Shanghai is similar. I studied for two years in Shanghai for my master's degree, and I still haven't dared to go shopping in the city center even once. What do you think we'll do if we live in these two cities for the rest of our lives?"

Hua Qing said earnestly, "Don't worry, you will definitely succeed!"

Fan Chenxi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Hua Qing, why do you talk like my mother?"

"Is there...?"

Hua Qing gave an awkward laugh.

Fan Chenxi took her arm and softened her tone.

"To be honest, I no longer aspire to become a star. Having a stable job and being able to dance the dances I love is enough for me."

Then she started to think seriously again, and suddenly laughed: "If God could also give me a boyfriend who is handsome, rich, caring, and devoted, that would be perfect!"

Hua Qing paused slightly: "You really think so?"

"Just kidding. What, you won't even let me daydream?"

Fan Chenxi had no materialistic thoughts; it was simply a girl's most basic and naive fantasy.

Hua Qing didn't reply.

Handsome, rich, and caring.

Ding Heng seems to meet every requirement, except for the last one: monogamy.

Is monogamy a must for a man?

Hua Qing in the past would definitely have thought it was necessary!

A man may be poor, but he must be loyal to her.

But now she faces a rent of 30,000, pocket money of 60,000, a car worth more than 500,000, and her future dance career.

But it doesn't seem so necessary...

Hua Qing sighed softly to herself, temporarily putting aside her thoughts.

The two strolled around for a while longer before sitting down in the rest area of ​​the mall's atrium.

Fan Chenxi held the milk tea she had just bought and took a big, satisfying sip, completely forgetting about weight management.

"Hua Qing, when are you returning to Xingcheng?"

"My boyfriend and I made plans for the 9th."

"Number Nine?"

Fan Chenxi blinked: "Then weren't you free on the 8th?"

"Yes……"

"Then why didn't you go back on the 8th?"

Fan Chenxi put down her milk tea and urged, "How about giving your boyfriend a surprise?"

Hua Qing was moved by Fan Chenxi's suggestion, but hesitated to speak.

"I'm a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"It's hard to explain to you."

Hua Qing sighed and smiled helplessly.

If I suddenly go back and catch Ding Heng with another woman, how will I handle the situation?

Fan Chenxi continued to persuade, "Why do young people worry so much when they're dating? Can't you just say whatever you want to say?"

"Should we speak openly?"

Hua Qing suddenly remembered that Ding Heng had asked her how long she planned to wait to confess. Now that she thought about it, it was about time.

If you're sincere, it's not impossible to coexist with Zhao Yanxi and Wen Jing...

As for Hua Yue, it shouldn't be difficult to persuade her to help keep it a secret from her family for the time being.

After careful consideration, Hua Qing took out her phone from her pocket and opened the ticketing app.

Swipe your finger across the screen, select your flight, and confirm payment.

Hua Qing put away her phone, imagining herself suddenly appearing in front of Ding Heng...

The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

Chapter 171: Lin Man's provocation, Hua Qing's surprise

On April 8th, the weather in Changsha was sunny.

Hua Qing's living room.

The white lisianthus bouquet exudes a delicate fragrance that slowly diffuses into the air.

Ding Heng stood in the center of the living room, looking around.

The designer Lin Man hired was indeed professional. In the limited space, the proposed solution was impeccable, and the overall space was neither crowded nor desolate.

Wenjing squatted down beside the coffee table and placed the last few pastries onto a porcelain plate.

"Xiao Jingjing, that's good enough."

After a long day, Zhao Yanxi slumped onto the sofa: "It's not like we're shooting an advertisement, why are we arranging everything so neatly?"

"Is it pretty...?"

Wenjing continued to adjust the angle of the last cookie.

Lin Man was adjusting the height of the balloon on tiptoe when she turned around and reached out her hand: "Yan hope, hand me the ribbon."

Zhao Yanxi picked up a roll of light green ribbon from the coffee table and handed it to Lin Man.

Lin Man smiled at her and said, "Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Zhao Yanxi withdrew her hand, her tone indifferent.

Lin Man tied the ribbon to the last balloon, clapped her hands, walked to the coffee table, and unscrewed a bottle of mineral water.

"By the way, Yan hope, take a look at this."
