Am I dreaming?
"Liang Shaoqing, pinch me!"
Zhang Lanyu looked incredulous, feeling as if she were floating on clouds.
To his utter surprise, the goddess of his dreams actually appeared before him.
"good!"
Liang Shaoqing, being a straight man, pinched his thigh.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
Zhang Lanyu winced in pain.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Lin Fan had come to his senses and was now wearing a bright smile.
"You came to Suzhou and Hangzhou without even telling me."
Are you afraid I'll make you treat me to dinner?
Li Leqian said reproachfully.
"I'm just worried you're too busy!"
"If I delay your important business, I can't afford to compensate you."
Lin Fan grinned broadly.
The two stood together; one was a dazzling superstar, and the other was a grassroots doctor.
People who have absolutely no connection have come together at this moment.
It wasn't just Liang Shaoqing and his group; people from other teams also frequently glanced at them.
"No matter how big the problem is, nothing is more important than you!"
"I can tell you're clearly avoiding me."
Li Leqian's tone carried the resentment that only a girl next door would have.
She had no airs of a big star and was very approachable and friendly.
"Who is that man? Why would Li Leqian take the initiative to talk to him?"
"I don't know, they look like contestants."
"Do you guys remember Li Leqian's rumored boyfriend from a while ago? He even trended on social media back then."
"I feel like this kid looks a bit like that guy."
"Could it be true? Le Qian is really in a relationship? And her boyfriend is a doctor?"
"My God! This is absolutely shocking news!"
"No wonder she, who never attends commercial events, came to host the show; it turns out she came for this guy."
Discussions gradually spread, and various gossips were speculated upon.
Especially the media, who seized the opportunity to take a lot of photos.
In the VIP seats.
A handsome young man in a bespoke shirt was staring at Lin Fan and Li Leqian.
His face was extremely pale, and he didn't even notice that the disposable paper cup in his hand was being crushed and deformed.
Li Leqian is the woman he wants, and he will absolutely not allow anyone else to touch her!
"Okay, I just came to give you a loud greeting."
"The competition is about to start, I need to go back to the podium to preside over it."
Li Leqian's smile faded slightly, and she became serious.
"Don't be nervous. If you give us the wrong competition procedure, we'll make a fool of ourselves."
Lin Fan said jokingly.
"You're the one who's giving an error!"
Li Leqian glanced at him and said, "You need to do your best in the competition and don't embarrass me!"
Also, don't leave after the game tonight.
"Why?"
Lin Fan scratched his head.
"Of course I'll treat you to a meal; you should show your hospitality."
"It's settled then, I'm off now."
Li Leqian didn't give Lin Fan a chance to refuse, and turned around to walk through the crowd toward the stage.
Only after she had walked away did Zhang Lanyu and the others break free from their petrification.
"Lin Fan, confess honestly!"
"Are you perhaps a wealthy young master from a reclusive, long-lost family?"
"First, the eldest son of the Qian family treated you with utmost respect, and now even the national goddess Li Leqian is so close to you and has taken the initiative to invite you to dinner!"
Zhang Lanyu immediately grabbed Lin Fan's arm and kept asking questions.
"What are you thinking? If I were a rich young master, why would I be a doctor?"
Lin Fan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Let's not talk about that! Your goddess is treating you to dinner tonight, can you bring me along?"
"I'll serve you tea and water. If that's not enough... find a place to tie me up."
Zhang Lanyu said with a fawning expression.
This guy's bones have softened up just to get close to the goddess.
"Can't you have some ambition?"
Xu Qiuyue rolled her eyes at him, "He's just a celebrity, why are you acting like you've never seen the world before?"
We're here to compete, not to chase after celebrities.
"Actually... I want to go too."
Liang Shaoqing approached with a grin.
If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but she's Li Leqian!
Can Li Leqian be the same?
"The competition is about to start, let's quickly adjust our condition and get through the knockout stage first."
Lin Fan had no choice but to forcefully steer the conversation back on track.
"You guys are all key players, so pay attention and be serious!"
Xia Yuliang also smiled and gave a word of advice.
"Don't worry, we know what we're doing."
Xu Qiuyue glanced at Zhang Lanyu and said, "Just make sure some people don't mess things up."
"Don't worry, I'm absolutely reliable when it matters."
Zhang Lanyu chuckled awkwardly.
"Let's work together."
Lin Fan cheered and encouraged him.
"Everyone, please follow the staff's instructions to your competition area."
Li Leqian, standing on the podium, spoke again, "Today we are holding an elimination round, and half of the teams will be eliminated."
"Half the teams were eliminated on the first day?"
Upon hearing this news, Zhang Lanyu immediately became nervous.
"We will have one round of elimination matches in the morning and two rounds of elimination matches in the afternoon."
Li Leqian explained to everyone earnestly, "In each round of the competition, we have a professional judging panel to score the participants."
After three rounds of competition, the teams with the lowest scores will be eliminated from the competition.
"Three rounds of elimination, that gives us a better chance than before."
"Yes...it used to be very cruel."
