Don’t cry like a little lord if you lose later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shiran snorted disdainfully, “Just make sure you don’t wet your pants if you lose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, when their eyes met, sparks flew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come here and discuss the strategy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jianyan interrupted their provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Lu Shiran, speaking to him for the first time in a competition, “You are quite brave to enter the competition with just a little knowledge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shiran half-closed his eyes, uninterestedly retorted, “None of your business.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jianyan frowned and disdainfully said, “Such no manners!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, she turned away without wanting to deal with Lu Shiran anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bad luck.

Not welcome?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not at all.” Actually, Qiao Yun was quite happy that he had come, even though her face still showed no expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her so composed, Li Hanzhou deliberately teased her, “Do you need a hug for encouragement?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was joking, yet he didn’t expect Qiao Yun to actually open her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not hugging?” Qiao Yun asked with a puzzled look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou decisively bent down and wrapped his arms around Qiao Yun’s petite body, hugging her lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fearing he might scare Qiao Yun away, he didn’t dare hold the hug too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After letting go, he lightly touched the top of Qiao Yun’s head, his voice softer than ever, “Good luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.” Qiao Yun plainly said, “We will win.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had agreed to Li Hanzhou’s hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because backstage, all the contestants were hugging each other to give encouragement and support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when Li Hanzhou made the offer, she didn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her understanding, this was basic protocol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao’s teeth were almost sore; she had never seen her brother be so gentle before. It really scared the old man to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiaoqiao, I will also cheer for you. Look, I even brought a light sign,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao pulled out a light sign from her backpack, prominently displaying Qiao Yun’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun hadn’t been looking forward to the competition much, but suddenly feeling that having someone there to cheer for her in person made it seem rather nice to participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun had left Li Miao a VIP area to watch the game, but Li Miao didn’t want it; she wanted to sit in the front row in order to see clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou didn’t even glance at the VIP area, took the ticket, and walked to the front row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Qiao Yun didn’t say anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t talk to them for long and went back backstage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every year’s contest would have an online broadcast, and this time was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, it was just some tech enthusiasts discussing who was impressive this time and who they were rooting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the style changed, and a barrage full of screams exploded onto the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Came for baby’s sister, has sister come out yet?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Why haven’t I seen sister?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What kind of contest is this?

She hardly got to participate in a contest and had to face ridicule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun’s team was too young, and they looked very rich, so the tech enthusiasts thought these young masters were just there to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not pleased, thinking they didn’t respect the tech community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the drawing of lots had finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shiran, with a nervous and excited heart, looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, they would face adversaries right from the start, encountering Qing University’s team, which is He Jianyan’s team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the tech enthusiasts went crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[They’re doomed!
