Chapter 235 Quan Junxi, Feast

"Benefactor, did that guy roll his eyes at us before he left?"

Wei Liangchen leaned close to Xie Qingyu's ear, covered the microphone on his collar, and asked in a low voice.

With the first and third place prizes coming in, their small coffers instantly bulged with 250,000 Cori coins.

Look, he even took a taxi to go back to the hotel.

The challenge lasted for quite a while, and it was already seven o'clock when the lights came on.

After discussing it, they decided to go back to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes, and then go out to eat with this unexpected money.

Eat! Eat barbecue! Eat big pieces of barbecue!

As for the director team’s warning?

Who cares? They didn’t break any laws, so the threat of “not doing it again” was ignored.

Who knows what will happen next time? Let’s talk about it next time!

As for the person who bothered Wei Liangchen, a narrow-minded and sharp-eyed fellow, the one who was still brooding over it was none other than the mysterious person who took away the second place prize of 100,000 yuan and the big fruit basket before leaving - Quan Junxi, the lead dancer of the phenomenal boy band VibeZ from Coria.

Xie Qingyu had heard of this top three popular groups in Coria, but he did not expect that they would take the risk to compete in person for the 200,000 yuan prize.

What is even more intriguing is that Quan Junxi was originally disguised tightly, but after losing to Bai Jian, he suddenly took off his hat and revealed his identity, and finally left in a hurry as if he was escaping.

As for the reason for doing this deliberately, judging from Xie Qingyu's analysis of this person's current behavior, the probability of him showing off his popularity is very low, otherwise he would not have gone to the trouble of disguising himself in the beginning.

His move seemed more like a spur-of-the-moment decision. Didn’t you see how quickly he ran away in the end?

More than 80% of the reason is as Wei Liangchen said at the beginning, he is unwilling to admit defeat and wants to remember the appearance of Bai Lang, the winner, and the team he belongs to.

At the same time, he also wanted Xie Qingyu and the others to remember him, as if he would bring people here to cause trouble next time, and his eyes were very fierce.

If the personal information on the Internet is correct, Kwon Junxi's actual age is only a little older than Leo. He just turned 16 and is still a little wolf cub who can't hide his claws!

"Maybe you saw it wrong." Xie Qingyu responded cautiously.

With the car camera staring straight at your face, there are some topics that you really need to think twice before speaking.

Don’t be naive to think that being the leading group of Grape TV will give you special treatment.

Capital always puts profit first. As long as it can create enough heat, it will not hesitate even if it triggers a transnational fan circle war or makes the black and red circles go viral.

Therefore, in front of this kind of camera, you have to carefully consider whether some topics are appropriate to talk about. This topic is obviously not suitable for in-depth discussion.

"Weren't you just saying you were hungry? Why aren't you hungry now?"

Xie Qingyu's method of changing the subject was not very clever, but it was enough to work on Wei Liangchen.

Sure enough, Wei Liangchen's attention was immediately diverted, and he leaned his head on Xie Qingyu's shoulder: "I'm so hungry, I'm really afraid I'll faint in the middle of the shower..."

The voice became weaker and weaker, causing Leo on the other side to cover his rumbling stomach and silently rest his head on Xie Qingyu's other shoulder.

Fortunately, the two were considerate and were just relying on each other for psychological comfort.

Otherwise, Xie Qingyu's shoulders would not be able to bear the heavy dependence of these two grown-up sons.

Ding Zai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and saw this scene, especially the way Xie Qingyu slapped his head helplessly, and couldn't help but joke:

"You two are exaggerating, aren't you? You're all grown up, I don't recommend this..."

The first half of the sentence sounded like an attempt to stop this spoiled behavior, but the second half revealed her true nature: "Because I'm sitting in the front row and can't join, please at least wait for me~"

As soon as she finished speaking, she threw a coquettish glance.

Xie Qingyu shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He really couldn't explain himself to this group of childish teammates.

Just as I was thinking this, a video call came in from another taxi with Gu Yan, Bai Lang and You Jinzhao.

Well, this is even harder to explain.

The drive was just over ten minutes, but this group of people had to make a video call to feel at ease.

The three "left-behind children" who failed to grab a seat in the camera looked at each other with eager eyes, which made Xie Qingyu feel both amusing and funny.

——

"Junxi, what did you do when you went out just now?"

VibeZ captain Han Xuyun was sitting on the sofa in the dormitory and slowly opened his eyes when he heard the door open.

He deliberately softened his tone, but his eyes involuntarily fell on the fruit basket tied with a ribbon in Quan Junxi's hand.

The content of the urgent call from his agent half an hour ago was still echoing in his mind, forcing him to put down his work and rush to the dormitory he had not set foot in for a long time.

This two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment carries too many memories.

When they first debuted two years ago, nine teenagers crowded here and imagined their future.

However, as they became popular as soon as they debuted, the members moved out one after another after paying off the training fees owed to the company and receiving settlement profits.

Only the youngest member is left stubbornly guarding this empty "home".

Han Xuyun rubbed his temples.

When it comes to Kwon Jun-hee, the youngest member who is both loved and hated, he gets a headache.

This guy has a stubborn and bad temper, but he is still the most popular in the group.

Although he has top popularity and strength, he always acts on his own and does some extraordinary things as if he has not yet passed his rebellious period.

Just like today, does he need that 200,000?

He lowered his status to participate in a street challenge, and revealed his identity after the competition, especially involving a boy group from the flower-growing side.

The topic #VibeZ Kwon Jun-hee's crushing defeat in the boy group# is currently trending high, with ridicule flooding the internet and even the entire group being questioned about their performance.

"Next time before you do something like this, can you please think about the team?" Han Xuyun couldn't help himself, and his voice was filled with tired reproach. "Junxi, please, don't make it so difficult for the brothers."

Kwon Jun-hee gently placed the fruit basket on the coffee table, and the decorative metal chains on his coat made a crisp sound when they collided.

He walked straight up to Han Xuyun, close enough that he could see his reflection in the other's pupils.

The older man's reflexive half-step back made a mocking arc appear on the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't this what you're looking forward to seeing?"

His voice was soft, but every word was heart-piercing.

Maybe these brothers were still somewhat caring and sincere towards him when he first debuted, but as he became popular and his popularity was divided into different levels, their attitude completely changed.

He admitted that he was a bit arbitrary, but he had never brought any real difficulties to the group. On the contrary, every time he was hacked, didn't it bring more popularity and attention to the team?

Those brothers who said in interviews that they "wanted to protect the youngest" actually had many of his anti-fans in their fan lists, he was just too lazy to expose them.

Han Xuyun turned his head away because of the direct gaze.

Quan Junxi shrugged in boredom, too lazy to continue the eye contact. He picked an apple from the fruit basket and sat on the sofa, the fruit knife shining silver at his fingertips.

The sound of the knife blade scraping against the fruit peel was particularly clear in the silent living room, as if mocking the hypocrisy of adults.

But at least this guy still has some conscience and is willing to put in some superficial effort.

As for the other "good brothers", not only did they not show up, but they didn't even send a message. It really makes me sad, haha.

"Junxi, this news will be suppressed."

Han Xuyun finally gave in and sighed in compromise, "You...just live your life the way you want."

The words of accusation were on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't bring himself to say them. As he finished speaking, he saw that Quan Junxi was still sitting on the sofa, peeling the apple into long strips, without responding.

Han Xuyun sighed again and turned to leave.

The sudden crisp sound of the apple peel breaking seemed to complete the unfinished words.

Quan Junxi stared at the crack and heard his own calm, unfamiliar voice: "I just want to eat the first prize strawberry...Hyung."

Unfortunately, it was snatched away by a group called MYST7.

Han Xuyun's back was obviously frozen. He hurriedly said "Brother will buy it for you" and walked out the door without looking back.

Kwon Jun-hee held up the half-peeled apple and pretended to throw it into the trash can, but changed his mind the next second and took a big bite.

The sweet and sour juice bursts in the mouth, just like the surging emotions at the moment.

The street performance the day after tomorrow, right?

He narrowed his eyes and put the tip of his tongue against his fangs.

The guy who stole the strawberries had better be worthy of this loot.

——

"Since we're in Coria, shouldn't we follow the local customs and respect the local dining culture?"

As the team's big brother, Ding Zai deliberately acted bossy and tapped his fingers in the air a few times, "Little Dog, grill some meat for the brothers!"

In fact, it is talking about the famous table etiquette of Kauria. According to tradition, the youngest person is usually responsible for serving tasks such as grilling and dividing meat to show respect for the elders.

Although this custom, which originated from the culture of respecting seniority, has gradually faded among the younger generation, it is still well-known as a characteristic.

At the moment, Ding was simply teasing the innocent Leo.

Xie Qingyu held his chin and looked at the confused Leo with interest. He guessed that this naive little dog would fall into the trap.

Sure enough, after Ding gave him some "popular science", although Leo was confused, he still stood up obediently and began to serve his brothers.

However, this "oppression" only lasted for the first few minutes, and soon everyone settled into a do-it-yourself mode, grilling the meat they wanted to eat and occasionally using serving chopsticks to help others turn the ingredients on the grill.

Xie Qingyu, who had never had a big appetite, slowed down his eating speed significantly after his hunger was relieved.

He picked up the meat from time to time, mostly admiring the satisfied looks on his teammates' faces as they ate the meat with big mouthfuls.

If he hadn't been infected by this atmosphere, he would have put down his chopsticks long ago.

Once people are full, they want to do something. Xie Qingyu's fingers began to tap restlessly on the table.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, his fingertips quietly moved towards the liquor bottle.

Just when he was about to succeed, Bai Lang, without even looking up, pressed his hand and said, "You can't drink."

He is really afraid of Zui Zui Yu now. No matter what Zui Yu is drunk with, it must be nipped in the bud.

What's more, we are still recording the show. Even if today's task has been completed, we must not take any risks.

“I just looked at the ingredients list…”

Xie Qingyu tried to defend himself with his signature innocent eyes, but the vigilant looks from his teammates overwhelmed him. He could only raise his hands in surrender, "I really don't want to drink~"

Even he himself didn't believe what he said.

A few minutes later, Xie Qingyu tried again, "I'm an adult..."

Before he could finish his words, everyone rejected him in unison: "No!"

"Actually, I've already passed the 'falling in love' stage. Before, it was just a minor accident..."

He held his chin with both hands and stared longingly at the soju brand that was said to have a refreshing taste and be the best match for barbecue.

"No!!!" Everyone's attitude was firm.

In order to completely put an end to the idea, they even divided up most of the remaining half of the bottle of soju on the spot - of course, Rio, the only underage player left in the team, was still excluded.

Xie Qingyu looked at the empty wine bottle being thrown into the trash can and let out a longer sigh.

It seems that his credibility within the team has hit rock bottom regarding alcohol.
