Chapter 316: Strawberry-Flavored Milk Tea

Although Luo Mo's words were not loud, everyone heard them clearly.

Coming up on stage just to give you a hug?

These words made people feel a bit sweet, yet also felt a bit... wild!

Xu Chujing had been in the entertainment industry for so many years; what kind of storms and waves hadn't she seen?

Yet Luo Mo repeatedly made her feel a bit unable to handle it.

She raised her eyes and glared at him, signaling him to speak properly.

Her heartbeat was even slightly faster now, and she was feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Standing to the side, Wu Yuefeng thought to himself: "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

To use a meme from Earth, it would be: "I should be under the car, not inside the car."

This Heavenly King-level Singer suddenly felt that standing on the stage was exceptionally redundant and exceptionally annoying.

At the same time, he also felt that Luo Mo was truly daring.

It was true that the Heavenly Queen Xu was beautiful and moving, her figure was amazing, and her temperament was peerless... but there were really few people in the industry who dared to flirt with her.

This woman's external conditions were too perfect, and the achievements she had made in her career were too high.

Men are indeed born with a desire to conquer, but one must also look at which mountain they are conquering.

This high peak made people look on with awe.

Just a moment ago, Xu Chujing had merely frowned and glanced at Wu Yuefeng, feeling he was a bit impolite and didn't take Luo Mo seriously; Wu Yuefeng hadn't even dared to meet her gaze and had looked away directly.

So at this moment, he actually felt a bit of admiration for Luo Mo.

Because, in reality, for Luo Mo, Xu Chujing's status was more complex; she was the mentor from *Creating Idols*.

A former trainee, openly flirting with his former celebrity mentor!

No wonder those CP Fans were going crazy!

At this time, many viewers watching the Live Broadcast let out marmot-like screams in their hearts.

"Ahhhhh! I'm dying!"

"Hurry up and kill me to liven things up for everyone!"

"I really want to rush to the scene and push their heads together, hurry up and kiss already!"

For the 【Mo Xu CP】 fans, their thoughts at this moment were very unified:

"I've watched many sweet dramas and read many romances, but at this moment, I'm still hooked!"

Many of the stars at the Hua Ge Award scene revealed auntie-like smiles.

Chen Shanqi, sitting next to Sun Yi, was so excited she couldn't help but raise her right hand and pat his shoulder hard.

Her round, plump peach-like buttocks rubbed back and forth on the chair, like a gossip-loving fan on the front lines.

Sun Yi felt the pain on his shoulder, but a silly smile remained on his face.

He and Tong Shu exchanged a look, only to see Tong Shu smiling even more foolishly.

"Hehehe!" Tong Shu and Li Junyi both laughed out loud.

You have to know, when they were participating in *Creating Idols*, the people they feared most were Xu Chujing and Ning Dan.

Xu Chujing was like the head of the student affairs office, and Ning Dan was the principal.

Now it was great; they felt like their dorm-mate Boss was openly trying to woo the head of the student affairs office.

That feeling of admiration, that excitement, was completely unstoppable!

The Aurora Girls sitting in another row had varying expressions.

Dong Dong and the others were thinking: "Ah, how romantic."

They were envious!

Jiang Ningxi gently bit her lower lip, her face turning slightly pale, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged in her heart.

You have to know, she had always regarded Xu Chujing as her Idol!

The joy of winning an award today was more than half washed away at this moment.

Shen Yinuo watched from the side and also felt that her heart was a bit complicated, but she couldn't quite put her finger on the specific emotion.

In short, this was a feeling she had never experienced before; she was not happy for Luo Mo and Xu Chujing.

"When we go back later, shall I treat everyone to milk tea?" Shen Yinuo suddenly said: "I'll have my assistant go buy it now."

Han Ziyi and the others didn't think too much of it, because whether Shen Yinuo was in a good mood or a bad mood, she would especially want to eat desserts.

She had a constitution that was prone to gaining weight, so she usually needed self-control. Eating sweets was actually a form of extreme indulgence.

On the awards stage, Xu Chujing saw Luo Mo still smiling and looking back at her, and couldn't help but say: "Look at the camera, don't look at me."

"Alright." Luo Mo responded softly, smiled slightly at the camera, then took a step back with the trophy, signaling that he had finished speaking.

The host came on stage at this moment, and Luo Mo and the others were due to return to their seats.

As he walked off the stage, he naturally raised his arm, very gentlemanly letting Xu Chujing, who was wearing high heels, hold his wrist to descend the steps to prevent her from falling.

This scene was naturally captured by the camera and was even screenshotted and saved by some fans.

"Evening gown and suit, it feels like a wealthy family romance."

"Amazing, it's great to be good-looking; any random screenshot is a god-tier image!"

"Hurry up and get together; if you don't get together soon, I'll be on my second child!"

After returning to their seats in the front row, Luo Mo was in a good mood.

This kind of dual-yolk award actually had a bit of a suspicion of splitting the cake.

But looking at the situation, it wasn't actually Wu Yuefeng splitting his cake, but rather clearly him splitting Wu Yuefeng's cake.

The Hua Ge Award simply found a way to make an exception for him, raising his status and allowing a Newcomer like him to win the title of 【Song King】!

Because of this, Wu Yuefeng was in a terrible mood, and even found Luo Mo particularly eyesore, feeling that he had become a stepping stone for someone else's advancement.

Of course, the reason Luo Mo was so relaxed now was mainly because he had safely passed the crisis of having his identity exposed.

After the 【Best Male Singer】 award was announced, the Hua Ge Award ceremony came to an end.

After the entire ceremony concluded, the organizers also held a banquet.

Some people chose to leave early, while others stayed to mingle and chat over drinks.

Many people want to attend a ceremony of this level precisely because they can build Connections here.

Of course, only when they truly have the qualifications to attend will they realize how naive their previous thoughts were.

The entertainment industry is a very realistic place; when you go to build Connections, you often have to see clearly how much you are worth.

Small characters are ignored at such occasions.

Even if you have "social Ox syndrome" and are very good at socializing, if you walk over with a wine glass, others might not even bother to clink glasses with you.

This also causes many small characters in the entertainment industry to offer up their purity in order to take a shortcut.

Therefore, Luo Mo actually does not like this kind of banquet.

Some people are focused on bragging, some are busy discussing projects, and some are busy promoting themselves...

So, when Xu Chujing asked him if he wanted to stay, Luo Mo shook his head directly.

"Then let's go back together?" Xu Chujing said.

"Sure, how about we go back and have a drink alone?" Luo Mo said with a laugh.

Xu Chujing shook her head and said, "You were talking nonsense today, I'm a little afraid of you."

Upon hearing this, a frustrated expression appeared on Luo Mo's face.

Xu Chujing, however, walked forward without looking back.

She is a woman who likes to take the initiative.

Luo Mo's recent performance has been one of pushing his luck, constantly testing the waters, one could say he has been brushing against the edge, often making people blush and their hearts race.

The Heavenly Queen Xu does not like others to control the rhythm.

Therefore, even if she is willing to continue developing, she prefers to be the one in control.

"With my life experience and having drifted through the sea of people, can I not handle him?" The Heavenly Queen Xu expressed her disbelief.

………

………

On the other side, the six members of the Aurora Girls also left early.

Since Shen Yinuo is the daughter of Xin Yu, the Aurora Girls also avoid such social occasions.

Six girls, each with their own unique characteristics, easily become prey for those with ulterior motives at such drinking parties.

What's more, for them, they already have the greatest backing.

Didn't you see that as soon as Director Luo left, several people who originally wanted to stay at the party got up and left as well?

It is very obvious that these people stayed for Luo Mo.

After the six girls with long legs got into the seven-seater nanny van, He Jie, who was both assistant and driver, handed them the milk tea she had just bought.

"It's the same old taste," He Jie said with a grin.

She already knew that the Aurora Girls had won the 【Best Group Award】 again, and was excited along with them.

It's just that she felt the atmosphere today seemed a bit off; even Shen Yinuo, who is usually the most boisterous, was a bit quiet today.

She didn't really notice anything unusual about Jiang Ningxi; this cold and aloof girl is always quiet.

As for Han Ziyi and the others, they were chattering away.

"When we get back, we must ask President Shen to give us a big red envelope!"

"Sigh, I just said Director Luo is the best in the world; we are now the undisputed number one girl group in Huaxia!"

"Just now, when Director Luo was on stage, his words made me want to scream!"

"Ah! If he had said that to me, I would have definitely fallen for him right there on stage; he could do anything he wanted to me tonight!"

"Shut up, why do I always feel that if it were Director Luo, you would be ten thousand times willing no matter what he wanted to do to you at any time?"

At this time, He Jie took out the milk tea and handed it over cup by cup.

She listened to these words but said nothing. An excellent assistant must choose to be selectively deaf.

Jiang Ningxi took the milk tea and instinctively said thank you.

Then, she looked down.

"It's strawberry flavor," He Jie said, "Doesn't Jiang Jiang only drink strawberry milk tea?"

Jiang Ningxi nodded blankly.

That's right, ever since middle school, she had never drunk strawberry-flavored milk tea again, and even deliberately avoided it.

What she was avoiding was naturally not the milk tea, but that boy in her memory, in the midsummer sunshine, sweating profusely, his bangs damp, holding crumpled banknotes and saying, "Spend all this money on yourself."

For one cup of milk tea, she had tutored him for an entire summer vacation.

It was just that the light that day was too bright, and the milk tea was too sweet.

Until the recording of Creating Idols began, until the two met again.

Recently, whenever someone mentioned drinking milk tea, Jiang Ningxi would only order strawberry; He Jie was already used to it, so she bought it according to habit today.

After inserting the straw, Jiang Ningxi stared blankly out the window, then took a large sip of the milk tea and swallowed hard.

In an instant, she felt inexplicably lost, and even a little aggrieved.

"It doesn't taste good at all."
