Chapter 181 Dinner

The address of the barbecue restaurant Wei Qianze sent was not far from where they were staying. After a while, they arrived at the restaurant called "Imperial Private Banquet".

The name sounds elegant and grand, and the facade is decorated luxuriously, but once you push the door open you're instantly overwhelmed by the bustling atmosphere of the city.

The aroma of charcoal grilling mixed with the diners' laughter and conversation filled the open dining area like a lively mist.

There are quite a few diners dining here now, and Xie Qingyu subconsciously pulled up her mask. No wonder Wei Qianze emphasized the importance of covering it tightly outside.

As soon as this group of tightly wrapped masked people entered the room, they attracted several inquiring gazes.

A young girl was stunned, holding her chopsticks, and whispered with her companions, wondering "Could it be a celebrity?", but no one dared to step forward before confirming it.

Shi Li reported the box number to the front desk. The waiter looked back frequently as he led the way, and the curiosity in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Passing through the noisy lobby, Leo suddenly leaned close to Xie Qingyu's ear and said, "Brother, Teacher Wei and the others..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Li, who was walking in front, had already stopped in front of the box with a wooden sign that read "Zhu Yun Xuan".

As the waiter knocked on the door for the third time, half a face appeared from the crack of the door.

The young man who opened the door wore a mask that only revealed his eyebrows and eyes, but it couldn't hide his cool temperament.

Seeing the people coming, he nodded slightly and stepped aside to let them in.

Xie Qingyu noticed that the waiter's back suddenly straightened. He obviously recognized who opened the door and was trying hard to suppress his excitement.

It was not until Shi Li waved his hand that the waiter woke up from a dream and stepped back with red ears. When he turned around, his steps were so light that he almost jumped.

Agent Shi Li did not step into the main box, but walked straight to the next room with two assistants. That was the staff rest area arranged in advance by Wei Qianze.

Shi Li led the group to the next door, and the first person to stand up was Xie Qingyu.

He tentatively leaned half of his body in, and the person who had just opened the door had returned to his seat and was now slowly taking off his mask.

The moment he leaned forward, five kind gazes were cast at him at the same time, falling on him like spotlights.

Wei Qianze, who was at the innermost part, leaned lazily against the dining table, holding his chin with one hand and jokingly said, "Hey, hey,"

He drawled out his words, a cunning glint in his eyes, "Look which masked bandit gang this is~"

It was obvious that this was mostly a joke, and before he finished speaking, the man had already walked to the door in two steps.

Xie Qingyu stepped aside to make way, and the members entered one after another.

The moment the box door clicked shut, everyone took off their disguises.

Wei Qianze opened his arms wide and was ready to give a full set of greeting gifts, starting with Xie Qingyu and hugging everyone one by one, muttering to himself: "Oh my God, I hugged all the MYST7 members! What kind of divine luck is this——"

Leo, the most clueless, tried his best not to show his puzzled look. Wasn't it supposed to be a barbecue dinner? Why did it feel like a fan meeting? No, Sister Li!

He hadn't finished his lines yet when someone couldn't stand it anymore. A ball of paper was thrown from the table at his shoulder with good aim. The other person said with obvious anger and amusement, "Young Master, don't waste time. Introduce me."

Xie Qingyu looked in the direction of the voice. After he left the base and connected to the Internet, he used his spare time to cram in a lot of knowledge about this world.

The person who spoke should be Eclipse's captain Ange. He has a gentle and handsome appearance and wears silver-rimmed glasses. He is not the type that will stun you at first sight, but he is the type that becomes more attractive the more you look at him.

Especially the eyes, which are like a jar of dusty peach wine. The closer you look at it, the more intoxicating it becomes, as if you can faintly smell the mellow fragrance that has accumulated over the years through the lenses.

Wei Qianze curled his lips, but he didn't ruin his captain's plan.

He cleared his throat and started introducing the MYST7 members one by one, starting with Xie Qingyu. He not only explained in detail each person's position in the team, but also talked about their personality traits like a treasure trove.

But when it was his teammates' turn, the situation suddenly changed.

He lazily pointed at the four people who had already stood up, as if he was announcing the names of dishes at a market:

"This is Boss An, the oldest in our team."

——The captain, Ange, who was called out by name, pushed up his glasses and squinted his eyes. A cold glint flashed through the lenses. What should he do if the youngest member of the team starts looking like he's about to be beaten again?!

"The second oldest, Shan Laoer."

——Rap actor Shan Bei crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows. His broken eyebrows looked quite intimidating, and his knuckles were cracking.

"The third oldest Cheng Lao San."

——Lead dancer Cheng Du turned his wrist with a smile.

Finally, he pointed to the lead singer Yan Zhiyou who had just opened the door, and was extremely perfunctory: "Yan Lao Si." The three words were said very quickly.

Yan Zhiyou glanced at him lightly, then turned back with dignity, as if he didn't want to say more.

After introducing his teammates, Wei Qianze suddenly turned around and struck a superstar pose: "And there's Wei Yaoyao, the popular and beloved Wei who makes flowers bloom~"

"Pfft..." Wei Liangchen couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing everyone's gazes, he quickly covered his mouth to hide his guilt: "I'm not laughing! Really!"

Ange was already accustomed to her youngest son's unruly behavior in front of acquaintances.

However, the fact that Wei Qianze was so relaxed actually showed that he had a very close relationship with the kids on the opposite side.

He led his three teammates forward to greet them, and his every move and gesture showed the composure of a senior.

Xie Qingyu always had a light smile on her face. When she saw An Ge approaching, she took the initiative to extend her hand and said in a clear voice: "Hello, Senior An, I am Xie Qingyu."

Since they have come forward on their own initiative, as a junior, he naturally has to respond in a timely manner.

When meeting someone for the first time and you are still unsure of the other person's temperament, the title "senior" is the safest choice.

The young man behaved appropriately, maintaining the courtesy of a junior while remaining calm and composed without being servile or overbearing.

Ange looked at the handsome and delicate boy in front of her, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. She held the hand that was so white that the veins were clearly visible: "I know you, nice to meet you."

This is not a compliment.

Although Xie Qingyu is young, his recent popularity cannot be underestimated. In other words, MYST7 has been gaining momentum and traffic since its debut, and what they lack is only experience, works and accumulation.

As a group that came out of this summer’s most popular talent show “Road to Star Dreams”, who in the circle doesn’t know them?

As far as he knows, many popular groups participating in this program called "TOP IDOL", which is actually an idol sports competition, have some tentative intentions.

This new group that suddenly appeared out of nowhere was protected tightly by Grape TV, but the more they were not brought out for social activities, the more curious people became.

What's more... Ange glanced at Wei Qianze who was still acting funny.

The youngest son in the family, who looked nonchalant and actually was always reluctant to praise others, praised Xie Qingyu to the heavens and earth, as if he were a banished immortal, without any flaws at all.

Although Wei Qianze, as a mentor, has been supportive of other contestants, the frequency with which Xie Qingyu's name appears... is indeed abnormally high.

Hearing that the program has arranged a theme song performance, he wants to go and see it in person. What kind of stage charm can make the arrogant Wei Laoya praise it so much?

As his thoughts raced, Ange unconsciously held Xie Qingyu's hand for a few more seconds.

At this moment, a cold voice interrupted: "Hello, Senior An, I'm Bai Lang."

A bony hand lay between the two of them.

Ange raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Yan, then his gaze vaguely fell back on Xie Qingyu, and suddenly he chuckled.

He tightened his grip on Xie Qingyu's fingertips slightly, and just when the person who reminded him was about to frown, he loosened his grip at the perfect moment. He then took the other person's outstretched hand and said with a smile, "Hello, I heard you're a good dancer?"

"I'm not as good as Senior An." Bai Lang answered calmly, as if he had no desire to win.

But when the two hands separated, Ange curled up her numb fingertips calmly.

This kid looks respectful on the surface, but his hands are very strong. He really... doesn't give his seniors any face at all?

On the other side, Xie Qingyu had already started chatting with Shan Bei.

This senior, whom I had just met in the message box, was cheerful and spoke with a crisp and clear voice:

"Don't be polite to me. If you need help in the future, just ask."

He patted Xie Qingyu's shoulder, with a strength that was just right between intimacy and moderation.

The next one, Cheng Du, and Bai Lang in their team are both main dancers, but their temperaments are completely different.

This senior always spoke with a gentleness as gentle as a spring breeze, and even the curve of his lips seemed to be carefully measured and just right.

His pupils were extremely black, and his smile was indeed like a warm sun, but that smile was like thin ice floating on a deep pool.

Xie Qingyu has an almost instinctive sensitivity to emotions, which is why he was able to capture this subtle sense of dissonance.

However, since Wei Qianze did not remind him and the other party did not show any malice, perhaps this was just due to Cheng Du's innate temperament.

He restrained his thoughts and maintained a faint smile as he greeted the other party.

Yan Zhiyou, who came last, was just like the impression Xie Qingyu had given him when they first saw each other at the door, as cold and pure as a handful of fresh snow.

The lead singer of Eclipse has the most delicate facial features in the group, with a misty haziness always shrouding his eyebrows and eyes, but he has a voice so sweet that it can taste like honey.

This contradictory temperament allows him to sit firmly on the second most popular position in the team even if he doesn't fight or compete.

A piece of news widely circulated in and out of the circle is that this lead singer never deliberately seeks to be in the camera, and even shows no interest in the pursuit of fans, only focusing on the stage itself.

Because of this, he attracted many black fans to mock him for his "Buddhist personality", but he was too lazy to even frown, and he acted as he pleased to the point of arrogance.

At this moment, he was standing in front of Xie Qingyu, his whole body like an ink painting stained by rain and fog, and even his nod of greeting carried a sense of alienation.

Xie Qingyu originally thought that the other party was just exchanging polite greetings and was about to end the conversation, but was caught off guard by a warm breath brushing against his ear.

Yan Zhiyou suddenly leaned forward, and his honey-like voice, wrapped in a breathy sound, gently tapped his eardrums:

"I really like...your song 'Day and Night'. Is there a chance for us to work together?"

With such a unique voice, even reading out a menu would be touching and moving.

Xie Qingyu couldn't help but secretly sigh at the disparity in how God had blessed them.

Yan Zhiyou didn't know that Yu on the other side was not on the same channel as him. Seeing that the other party had not responded for a long time, he thought that he didn't want to cooperate with him, and he showed a rare hint of anxiety.

He actually took another half step closer, his eyes drooping slightly, and added with a bit of grievance, "Okay?"

This kind of almost weak attitude is unprecedented for him, as he usually ignores others!

But he really wants to work with the other party. It will definitely be a completely different experience, and his creative ability will not disappoint Xie Qingyu.

The sweet breath brushed across his neck again, and Xie Qingyu took a half step back reflexively, with a slight shudder on the back of his neck.

He calmed himself down and nodded, "I'm at your service anytime."

After receiving the promise, Yan Zhiyou relaxed his brows and raised the corners of his lips, which disappeared in an instant like the first melting snow. Then he returned to his otherworldly appearance and continued to greet his teammates.

After both sides finished greeting each other, Ange and Gu Qi looked at each other in tacit understanding and said in unison: "Please take a seat."

The atmosphere is just right right now, and if we still stick to team boundaries it would lose some of the fun.

Since it is a private gathering, why not let the members sit wherever they like and have fun.
