"When did you become religious?"
The classmate held his chin and looked at Cui Zhiruo, who had her hands crossed in front of her chest, her eyes closed, as if praying.
"I don't believe it."
Cui Zhiruo opened her eyes and answered.
"So what have you been doing since the beginning?"
"I'm so nervous right now. Today is the final day of the show that Sheng Liuming is starring in, and the final results will be announced today. So I want to pray to God, or whoever the Jade Emperor is, to make sure that Sheng Liuming can complete the filming smoothly."
The students who understood the meaning nodded and then asked, "But, is Sheng Liuming's grandmother okay?"
"Actually, I'm worried too. I've been in the hospital recently and I don't know when I can recover."
During the time when Sheng Liuming participated in the talent show, his grandmother fell ill and was in the hospital.
But he couldn't quit the competition midway. His agency disagreed, and neither did the program crew. After all, Sheng Liuming was still very popular in the show. If he quit like that, there would be less topics and attention, so they asked him to continue filming, otherwise he would have to pay a penalty of three million yuan for breach of contract.
He had no money, his grandmother was sick, and he couldn't afford to go into debt anymore.
So I just had to keep shooting.
"I didn't see that cute little thing today."
"My sister went to the hospital."
There is no way. Sheng Liuming's father is useless. If he doesn't show up, even if he helps a lot, now only his sister is taking care of grandma.
Commercials began playing on TV, along with the host's opening remarks.
"Team A, get ready. Five minutes left."
At this moment, the director's voice came from their earphones.
Shen Shaozhe leaned closer to Sheng Liuming and whispered, "Let's show it well today. That sister should be watching too, right?"
Sheng Liuming didn't say anything, but slowly turned his head to look at Shen Shaozhe.
"start!"
"Wait until Sheng Liuming appears."
The classmate shouted, and both of their eyes fell on the TV.
Sheng Liuming was wearing black clothes and didn't dress up deliberately, but he gave people a very handsome feeling.
"He is indeed very handsome."
The classmate nodded and said in agreement: "Wow, although he is a small guy, he is quite handsome. It would be very prestigious to take him out as a boyfriend."
After the classmate finished speaking, Cui Zhiruo suddenly grabbed her hand and said in a warning tone, "I know you're obsessed with looks, but you can't do that to Sheng Liuming."
"Do I really need to? You're just a little brat. I'm not the type to be tempted by a young girl." The classmate shook off Cui Zhiruo's hand and said disapprovingly, "As expected of a little brat, you're so handsome that you almost look like a baby. Although you're still young, you can't hide your handsomeness at all."
The host's voice came from the TV: "We've finally waited for this moment. Who will be the protagonist who wins the one million dollar prize and successfully debuts to realize his idol dream?"
The host was holding a piece of paper in his hand, which seemed to contain the debut list.
"The final key results were directly selected by the audience and are now revealed to everyone."
“…”
The scene was silent, and everyone was very nervous, even Cui Zhiruo who was watching the show.
The camera panned across the faces of the contestants one by one, returning to the final commercial break before continuing with the announcement.
“Shen Shaozhe…”
Upon hearing this name, Cui Zhiruo and her classmates remained silent.
There was a moment of silence as they continued to announce the next rankings.
At the end, a classmate spoke up first, saying, "It's not surprising. After all, he's number one in popularity, so it's normal for him to be the champion."
"Even so, I'm a little surprised that Sheng Liuming didn't make the top five. He only ranked sixth."
Sheng Liuming was always in the top five in terms of popularity and judges' evaluations. But in the final, he fell out of the top five, which was indeed a bit surprising.
"That's great. After all, he's very young and he didn't have any previous foundation. We've all seen his hard work over this period. To be able to get sixth place is already very impressive."
"That's true."
I'm not angry, I just feel a little aggrieved for his efforts during this period.
The classmate sensed that Cui Zhiruo was not in a good mood, so he suggested: "It's such a festive day, we should drink to celebrate."
"Too."
So, Cui Zhiruo picked up her cell phone and called Sheng Liuming.
"Sister, where are you now?"
"Where are you?"
"We've finished filming."
"So soon?"
"Um."
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"I'm fine, sister, where are you?"
"At my classmate's home."
"Will my sister be home late?"
At this time, Sheng Liuming returned home to an empty house. He was not there, his sister was not there, and his grandmother was not there either.
"How about this? Why don't you come to my classmate's house? It's just the two of us anyway, and you won't have anything to do here, okay?"
"I have no objection."
"Okay, then I'll send you a location. Be careful on the road."
"Okay, sister, please send me the location."
After hanging up the phone, the classmate leaned forward and said, "Cui Zhiruo, do you want to call your boyfriend over as well? What if he misunderstands?"
"Really? He said he had an appointment today, so I thought I'd ask him."
Then he called Su Muchuan.
[Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment...]
"I called him three times but he didn't answer. I sent him a message but he didn't reply. He should see the missed call and call back."
"I don't think there's any wine at home. How about I go buy some?"
"You prepare some snacks at home. I'll go buy some wine. I'll be back soon."
Cui Zhiruo volunteered to go downstairs. Of course, before that, she and her classmates prepared some food before leaving.
When I walked downstairs, I happened to see Sheng Liuming wearing a mask.
He really stands out as handsome.
Cui Zhiruo came to Sheng Liuming, smiled, and said, "Is it very hard today? It's upstairs in room 502. You go upstairs, I'll go buy some wine."
"Then let's go together."
"Okay." The two walked side by side. "You look very handsome today. I watched the show, it was pretty good too."
"Really?"
"Really? When has my sister ever lied to you?"
Sheng Liuming smiled with relief and replied, "But I heard that I will be very busy in the future. I have signed a contract with an agency. What about my studies? And I heard that my sister didn't get into the same university as Su Muchuan."
"Don't worry about me, worry more about yourself. You're famous now."
"What are your plans, sister? Are you going to repeat a year or go abroad?"
"Of course I still want to try to go abroad."
"Sister, are you really going abroad?"
Sheng Liuming bit his lip and asked.
