There were too many people and not enough shower facilities. Because Young Master Mu had left all his luggage in his old dormitory, it was time for him to take a shower when it was time to eat.

Young Master Mu was very hungry, but he really couldn't eat in his clothes that he had worn overnight.

The trainees, too embarrassed to borrow other people's clothes, and having clearly seen the conflict between Young Master Mu and his sugar daddy, pretended not to notice and instead went to curry favor with Jiang Xiaomian.

In the end, Su Jiu took the initiative to approach the young master, saying, "I wore this dress once, but I've already washed it."

Mu Xiaozhe said with a sour face, "Thanks, I'll transfer the money to you after I charge it."

"Xiaoze, you don't need to be so polite with me..."

Mu Xiaozhe said matter-of-factly, "Let me borrow your shampoo and shower gel for a moment."

"Huh?" Su Jiu, who was hoping to take the opportunity to build a relationship, paused.

Mu Xiaozhe frowned impatiently, "Don't you understand? Give me the shampoo and shower gel."

"Oh." Su Jiu handed him the small basket containing toiletries.

Mu Xiaozhe glanced at the perfume bottle, scoffed, and tossed it to him, "Why are you still using this stuff? You sissy..."

After saying that, Mu Xiaozhe completely ignored Su Jiu's ugly expression and left on his own.

Watching Mu Xiaozhe's departing figure, a hint of hatred gradually appeared in Su Jiu's eyes.

"Su Jiu".

The moment Su Jiu turned around, she adjusted her expression, glanced timidly at Qiao Xia, and whispered, "President Qiao."

Qiao Xia held out her hand, "According to the program's rules, trainees are not allowed to have cell phones in their hands during the audition."

Su Jiu's expression froze for a moment, then she quickly put on an innocent look. "I handed my phone to the production team before I came. Mr. Qiao can ask the director."

"I know." Before Su Jiu could breathe a sigh of relief, Qiao Xia waved her hand, "Haven't you always kept Mu Xiaozhe's phone?"

Su Jiu twisted the hem of her clothes and said with a wry smile, "President Qiao, you know Young Master Mu's temper. If he finds out that I handed the phone to you, he will definitely be angry."

"Then let's wait until he finishes his shower. I happen to have something I want to ask you two."

The production team thoughtfully brought Qiao Xia a chair so she could sit in the shade and cool off, but Su Jiu, who was standing next to her, wasn't so lucky.

At noon, when the sun was at its strongest, Su Jiu was preoccupied with his own thoughts. On one hand, he suspected that Qiao Xia might know something, but on the other hand, he comforted himself that it was impossible.

The phone belongs to Mu Xiaozhe; even if they investigate, they can't trace it back to him.

I tried to comfort myself with these words, but sweat kept pouring down my forehead. I couldn't wait here any longer.

"Mr. Qiao, have you eaten?" Su Jiu asked tactfully.

Qiao Xia glanced at the time. "Are you hungry? I'll prepare a special meal for you in a little while."

Su Jiu felt even more flustered and couldn't help but tentatively ask, "If it's about the phone, Mr. Qiao, you should talk to Young Master Mu alone. The performance is in a few days, and I don't want to hold the team back."

"Who said I was talking about the phone..."

"What are you doing here?" After taking a shower, Young Master Mu put his hand on Su Jiu and looked at Qiao Xia warily.

Qiao Xia said meaningfully, "Waiting for you."

"Wait for me?" Mu Xiaozhe's gaze darted back and forth between Qiao Xia and Su Jiu, making Su Jiu feel even more guilty.

Just as he was about to make a hasty escape to urinate, Mu Xiaozhe surprised him by saying, "You wouldn't happen to have a crush on him, would you?"

"Cough... Ah?" Qiao Xia looked at him in horror, finding it hard to imagine how he had come to this conclusion.

Although upon closer inspection, Su Jiu's appearance is indeed very delicate, and he also knows how to play the victim, which is why he has a large number of female fans online, Qiao Xia no longer likes this type.

Seeing her reaction, Mu Xiaozhe became even more certain of his guess and immediately warned her righteously, "Let me tell you, Su Jiu is going to be an idol in the future. He is not the same as those shady men you used to date. Don't make any moves on him."

Qiao Xia retorted, "When have I ever been with any disreputable men? I simply like handsome men and beautiful women. Do you understand what handsome men and beautiful women are? They are equal, and there is absolutely no romantic involvement between them."

Mu Xiaozhe's eyes widened even more, "So you're bisexual too, no wonder you've never accepted Shen Shuoyan..."

"What does this have to do with Shen Shuoyan? I don't even know him. What gives him the right to slander me behind my back?"

"Whether it's slander or not, you know perfectly well. I would never let a promiscuous woman like you ruin my brother's life..."

The two started arguing back and forth, leaving Su Jiu dizzy from the sheer amount of information contained in their exchange.

Su Jiu thought to herself: I knew Qiao Xia couldn't possibly trace it back to me; it turns out she's got her eye on me.

Su Jiu was somewhat smug, while subtly observing Qiao Xia. He would naturally be more than happy to get close to Qiao Xia.

Perhaps because she had been observing for too long, Qiao Xia frowned sharply and looked over. Su Jiu quickly lowered her head and put on an endearing expression once again.

Qiao Xia felt inexplicably uncomfortable and was too lazy to continue arguing with Mu Xiaozhe. "Give me your phone."

"What are you doing?" Mu Xiaozhe was naturally not so obedient, and held onto his phone tightly.

Qiao Xia originally wanted to find a place to talk and eat, but seeing his appearance, she didn't care anymore. "There have been people spreading inside information about the show online, and they keep spreading rumors and slandering my relationship with other trainees. According to the account tracking, the message was sent from your phone."

Mu Xiaozhe sneered, "You think it's true just because you say so? I've never posted anything about you, believe it or not."

Young Master Mu has his own pride. He keeps his phone because he's addicted to games, but it doesn't actually have a SIM card in it.

He didn't care about outside opinions of him, and he disdained to secretly campaign for votes or slander others. At this moment, Su Jiu no longer had any romantic fantasies.

Mu Xiaozhe's phone didn't contain anything important, but he wouldn't easily let others touch it. Su Jiu did manage to secretly memorize the password once, allowing her to occasionally use a secondary account to go online while he was sleeping or taking a shower, under the pretext of keeping his phone safe.

Qiao Xia looked meaningfully at Bai Jiu standing next to him, "Now Weibo requires real-name authentication. Whether it was you or someone else used your phone to send the message, I'll have the technicians check and we'll know."

Mu Xiaozhe sneered, "With such limited skills, you still want to sow discord? Let me tell you, only I know my phone password. If you're so capable, then produce evidence to arrest me."

Hearing him say that, Bai Jiu's expression softened.

Seeing that he couldn't understand human language, Qiao Xia didn't want to waste any more words on him and simply snatched his phone away. "I'll give it back to you after the talent show ends. If you don't want to, you can just quit."
