Chapter 297

"Little Ji-Ji is so handsome!"

He Lele turned her head to look beside her; two female fans were holding cameras and secretly taking pictures of Ji Jie. Scanning the audience again, she realized that there were truly quite a few people fan-girling over Ji Jie. However... Little Ji-Ji?

"Pfft..." She couldn't hold it in.

"Ah, ah, ah—Qin Zhixiu! Qin Zhixiu!"

The fans' synchronized screaming woke He Lele, who was giggling. Looking up at the stage, under the magnesium lights, the jade-like person was walking slowly toward the sofa in the center of the stage.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah! Qin Zhixiu smiled at me! Did you see that! He remembers me! Qin Zhixiu! Qin Zhixiu!"

Uh... He Lele looked at the fan who had just been fan-girling over Ji Jie in shock—so Xiu was looking at the fans? She had thought he was smiling at her...

The core of a talk show is the host, and there isn't much room for guests to perform. Qin Zhixiu's recorded part was originally scheduled for half an hour. Perhaps because there wasn't much time, after Qin Zhixiu went on stage, the host basically left the two newcomers aside.

He Lele glanced at Ji Jie. Although it couldn't be seen on the surface, she knew he must be unhappy.

"We all know that Zhixiu once announced his standard for an ideal lover. I wonder if any fans remember?"

"Me! Me! I remember!" The female fan beside He Lele raised her hand high, her butt already off the seat.

Seeing the camera pointing their way, He Lele hurriedly pretended to lower her head to tie her shoelaces.

"Qin Zhixiu once mentioned that he likes girls who know how to knead dough!" The female fan took the microphone handed by a staff member and said loudly.

"That's right! Then next is our 'Guessing' segment! Just by looking at their hands, can Qin Zhixiu guess which of our three 'Guessing Ladies' knows how to knead dough? Let's welcome the three ladies!"

A screen was pushed onto the stage, and along with the screen, three graceful figures also came onto the stage behind it.

The host led Qin Zhixiu forward to observe the hands of the three "Guessing Ladies" and kept encouraging Qin Zhixiu to touch and see.

"Okay! Qin Zhixiu has already chosen! Come! Let's reveal the answer!"

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah—"

The moment the screen was removed, deafening screams resounded through the studio.

"A-Zhi! You guessed wrong!" One of the "Guessing Ladies"—Du Wei waved her hand, smiling beautifully.

The host invited Du Wei to the sofa. "According to reliable sources, Qin Zhixiu pursued Du Wei fruitlessly during his student years. I wonder if this can be considered a successful outcome now?"

It was such a sharp question right from the start, but Du Wei didn't seem surprised at all, looking at Qin Zhixiu with a smile but saying nothing.

"Ah... such a tender gaze, it seems the answer is self-evident? Does Zhixiu not want to say something to Du Wei?"

After a long while, Qin Zhixiu lowered his eyes slightly and didn't respond. The host was a bit embarrassed and hurriedly smoothed things over. "Uh... it seems someone is shy? Haha..."

"I like... girls who know how to knead dough."

Du Wei's expression stiffened instantly. The host knew at a glance that the information was wrong and hurriedly changed the topic. Fortunately, it was a recording, so even if there were flaws, they could rely on post-production editing.

Not having captured the expected footage, the host hurriedly ended the recording of Qin Zhixiu's part. As soon as Qin Zhixiu left the stage, Ji Jie immediately called He Lele to follow.

"A-Zhi, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to cooperate with me? Don't admit it, don't deny it! What dough!"

Standing outside the makeup room, He Lele could hear Du Wei's questioning very clearly.

Ji Jie snorted coldly and twisted the door handle.

"Weiwei, alright! Little Xiu has already cooperated with you very well." Inside the room, Du Mei was persuading Du Wei.

"Where is Lele?" Qin Zhixiu asked Ji Jie.

Ji Jie looked back and saw that He Lele hadn't followed in, so he turned back. "Lele, what's wrong?"

"I think I'd better go back first."

"You again?" Du Wei walked to the door and saw He Lele; her exquisite makeup immediately went out of shape. "You know how to knead dough?"

He Lele looked at Du Wei's hostile expression and sighed. "... I do."

☆, (8 Fresh Coins) Chapter 248: Steal Away Anytime

Although she knew Du Wei was an indelible relative in Qin Zhixiu's life, and also knew she wasn't qualified to interfere in their affairs, she... couldn't face this woman who easily sold out Qin Zhixiu without any hard feelings.

"... You guys talk, I'm leaving first." He Lele smiled faintly.

"Stop right there!" Du Wei looked He Lele up and down vigilantly. During this time, she had been busy using Qin Zhixiu's resources to expand her connections, increase exposure, and hype her popularity. Seeing that this woman had already left the apartment, she hadn't bothered to ask about the woman's affairs, but she didn't expect this He Lele to be like a ghost that wouldn't go away! ===== CHAPTER 298 =====
