Xia Duoduo instantly got goosebumps all over her body.

Turns out, the pit she dug for herself is really hard to fill.

Xiao Zhen was determined to make things difficult for her: "If you’ve forgotten, I can help you remember. I still have all those chat logs saved—"

"Stop!" Xia Duoduo suddenly snapped at him, "Xiao Zhen, how long are you going to keep pestering me? My boyfriend is still watching from the stage!"

Have some dignity, will you!

She was on the verge of blurting this out.

But in the end, she restrained herself, steadied her mind, and continued, "I wouldn’t even consider us to have dated; you just gave me a bouquet of roses. If you think you’re at a loss, I can order the flowers right now and return them to you, 999 white roses, alright?"

White, white roses?

Xiao Zhen was so angry his eyes nearly bulged out.

As Xia Duoduo spoke, she took out her phone and opened the shopping app.

But before she could operate it, her wrist was gripped tightly by Xiao Zhen.

The man’s grip was strong, and it hurt so much that Xia Duoduo could hardly hold her phone.

"Let go!" She frowned and scolded coldly.

"Xia Duoduo, do you really think I dare not do anything to you? Huh! You’re just a little nobody, don’t think you can turn into a phoenix just by hitching up with a popular celebrity. Believe me, I—"

Xiao Zhen raised his other hand in anger, looking as if he was about to slap Xia Duoduo across the face.

Just then, a clear and captivating voice sounded from the stage: "The female audience member who is sitting in the last row, can you please come up on stage and play the game with me?"

Xiao Zhen and Xia Duoduo turned their heads simultaneously.

On stage, Jin Xu pointed in their direction with the microphone, smiling as brightly as the sun.

The last row was basically empty, with only Xia Duoduo, a girl, sitting there.

"Is... it me?" She was a bit dumbfounded and pointed at herself uncertainly.

"Yes, it’s you," Jin Xu nodded at her gently.

"Okay."

Xia Duoduo replied, instinctively trying to withdraw her hand from Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen was reluctant to let her go, but seeing the cameras and the crowd’s attention focused on them, he dared not continue to entangle her, finally letting go with a sullen face.

"Isn’t the tall guy in the last row Xiao Zhen?" A girl in the audience recognized him and whispered to her companion.

Seeing girls frequently turning their heads towards him, Xiao Zhen knew he shouldn’t stay, and coldly signaled his agent to leave the studio.

Xia Duoduo walked onto the stage a bit uneasily, wearing a baseball cap and deliberately pulling her collar up to cover her face. But when she looked up, she still met Jin Xu’s bright, dazzling eyes, causing her heart to skip a beat.

"Young lady, may I ask what your name is?" The host approached, holding the microphone to Xia Duoduo’s mouth.

Xia Duoduo nervously clutched the hem of her skirt and replied, "Just call me Duoduo."

"Alright. Duoduo, how do you feel now that our national idol Jin Xu has invited you to play the game?"

Xia Duoduo instinctively glanced at Jin Xu, feeling her palms sweat continuously: "Excit... Excited."

She mumbled in response.

The host also noticed her nervousness and didn’t press her further, simply explaining the game rules before the competition officially started.

The contestants needed to pop a designated number of balloons and then carry the girls to the finish line. Whoever finishes fastest wins.

Xia Duoduo stood on the sidelines, watching her boyfriend play the game from a close distance, feeling quite strange.

Jin Xu was the kind of person who naturally carried an aura, attracting screams from all the girls wherever he went.

At this moment, the audience was filled with fans cheering and rooting for Jin Xu.

"Xubao, go for it! Xubao, you’re the best!"

"Xubao, I love you!"

...

Jin Xu finished popping the balloons at lightning speed and rushed in front of Xia Duoduo.

"Get on, I’ll carry you."

He panted, opened his arms with his back to her, and spoke in an incredibly pampering tone.
