She couldn't hear the opening remarks or the host's speech clearly.
As for winning prizes in the game, that has nothing to do with her, little Karami; with her luck, she's never won anything.
As it turned out, this was indeed the case.
Finally, when the host announced their program name, Cheng Qicai took a deep breath and went on stage with her colleagues who were performing with her.
Cheng Qicai was so nervous when she went on stage that she almost laughed at the accent of her colleague who was playing Meiya, but she bit her lower lip and forced herself to hold back when she thought of the microphone next to her mouth.
But while she managed to hold back, her colleague next to her couldn't.
The "plop" sound echoed in the hall.
Once this started, things went completely chaotic.
Their rehearsals were mediocre, and their performance on stage was even worse.
Later on, all their lines were improvised on the spot.
When it was her turn to deliver her lines, Cheng Qicai's voice trembled completely, not from nervousness, but from the difficulty of suppressing laughter.
She could hear her own microphone crackling even on stage.
She should have predicted its failure when she heard the unreliable content of the program.
Fortunately, she wasn't the only one who embarrassed herself, so she didn't feel so ashamed.
What do you call this? This is what you call a dead pig that isn't afraid of boiling water.
After their performance, the audience reacted enthusiastically, with thunderous applause.
Of course, Cheng Qicai wasn't shameless enough to think that it was because their performance was good, and that the loud applause was simply because they were being ridiculous.
As she stepped off the stage, her eyes met those of Gu Liji, who was sitting in the front row, the implication of which was unmistakable.
It's as if it's saying, "This is the show you rehearsed?"
Thinking of his earlier mention of the Best Program award, she looked away shyly.
When she returned to her seat, she saw Gu Rongqi standing in the corner of the aisle.
Cheng Qicai was taken aback. For some reason, when she met his gaze, Cheng Qicai felt a surge of shame again.
Seriously? Didn't you say you weren't coming?
Did you watch her entire performance?
Gu Rongqi nodded to her and calmly walked towards Gu Liji.
Judging from his appearance, he must have just arrived? Didn't he see his own performance?
Cheng Qicai prayed silently.
Although she felt a little uneasy, at least her performance was over, and her anxious heart finally calmed down, allowing her to watch other people's shows in peace.
It has to be said that after one round, their performances were all quite good, much better than theirs.
However, there were others who, like them, pursued abstract ideas, which made Cheng Qicai feel much better.
When it was Guliji's turn to present the awards for the show, they actually won a Best Comedy Award, and the prize was a tablet.
Cheng Qicai was quite happy, thinking she would only receive a participation prize, but she didn't expect to win one.
She hugged the tablet with a smug look on her face, feeling that all the embarrassment she had just experienced on stage was nothing.
After the party ended, Cheng Qicai said goodbye to her colleagues one by one.
She originally intended to leave, but as the party was about to end, Gu Liji messaged her asking her to wait a bit before leaving.
Cheng Qicai didn't know why Gu Liji wanted to see her. Logically speaking, since Yun Su Ni rejected him, he and Gu Liji shouldn't have any interaction outside of work.
She walked to where Gu Liji was and saw his car.
Gu Liji said to her, "Come up."
He looked serious at that moment.
Cheng Qicai couldn't help but feel anxious. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of anything she had done to offend him.
Cheng Qicai asked cautiously, "President Gu, what do you want to see me about?"
"Uh..." Gu Liji seemed a little embarrassed to say it, his hands tapping the steering wheel irregularly. "I want to ask you, did Su Ni and Lu Qi break up?"
"Huh?" Cheng Qicai was stunned by the question.
Wait... how did they still break up?
She's been too busy lately, and Yun Su Ni hasn't contacted her, nor has she heard anything about it.
After a long pause, she finally found her voice, "I...I don't know!"
"How could you not know?" Gu Liji glared at her through gritted teeth.
“I…” Cheng Qicai didn’t know what to say. She thought that if Yun Su Ni went back and told Lu Qi what was going on, it would be avoided. She didn’t expect that things would still come to this point.
But she put aside her questions and looked at Gu Liji, "But Brother Gu, didn't my sister already reject you?"
What Cheng Qicai wanted to say was, if you've refused, then give up!
Don't fall in love, it won't lead anywhere.
"..." Gu Liji remained silent for a long time, then said in a low voice, "I want to try one last time."
After Gu Liji said that, Cheng Qicai didn't know what to say.
That's how relationships are; no one says that the person you like has to like you back!
Some people, even knowing it's pointless, still insist on hitting that wall.
Cheng Qicai could only tell the truth: "I really don't know. I haven't seen my sister recently, and we haven't been in contact much."
Everything was normal during the party, so how come I know about this news now?
Seeing Gu Liji's dejected silence, Cheng Qicai sighed and said, "Brother Gu, you should go back and rest early. I'll take a taxi home by myself."
Gu Liji nodded.
Cheng Qicai got out of the car with a worried expression and walked out of the garage.
Just as Cheng Qicai reached the door and took out her phone, a car pulled up in front of her, revealing a handsome face with well-defined features. Gu Rongqi frowned and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"President Gu!" Cheng Qicai called out.
“Come on up, I’ll see you off,” Gu Rongqi said to her.
Seeing Gu Rongqi's deep, dark eyes fixed on her, the words of refusal stuck in her throat.
In the end, I opened the car door and got in.
Seeing his gaze fall on the tablet she was holding, Cheng Qicai pulled it closer to her chest.
