Chapter 124: Damn, I’ve been signed up for another variety show. What about you?

It wasn’t clear whether it was to prove his generosity or to relive the taste from last night.

By the time Jian Li realized, he was already sitting on Huo Xiao’s lap.

He nonchalantly draped his arm around Huo Xiao’s long neck, his posture lazy and intimate.

"So, you want to kiss and touch?"

"Let’s get one thing straight: after the kissing and touching, we’re even for what happened last night."

Huo Xiao furrowed his brow, his dark pupils staring intently. "Do you really want to distance yourself from me so much?"

"I—"

Jian Li was taken aback by the question,

How could that be?

I’m doing this to maintain our relationship!

I’m afraid that if I make one wrong move, we won’t even be able to remain good friends...

The words stuck in his throat, unable to come out for a long time.

Huo Xiao’s eyes darkened, and suddenly, he turned his head and bit down on Jian Li’s fair, delicate neck.

"Hiss—"

A mix of slight pain and tingling instantly spread through his body.

Jian Li tried to pull away but was firmly held in place by Huo Xiao’s arm.

"Hey, why are you biting me?!"

"Didn’t you want to kiss and touch?"

I was just about to...

Surrounded by people, Lu Siqi was striding towards the private room.

As he looked up, he saw the waiter in front acting furtively, as if extremely excited.

Seeing someone approach, the waiter immediately put on a serious and courteous demeanor, bowing respectfully,

"Good evening, sir."

Lu Siqi frowned, giving a disdainful glance before moving past.

Suddenly, a faint noise made him halt.

"Hey, don't bite,"

"Didn't you say we were just kissing?"

"！！！"

Lu Siqi was abruptly startled. Isn't that Jian Li?!

Who is he with?!

What do you mean, "biting"?

What do you mean, "kissing"?

A surge of jealous rage almost overwhelmed Lu Siqi.

Ignoring the waiter’s attempts to stop him, he forcefully opened the private room door.

The sight was so shocking that Lu Siqi nearly lost his composure.

"Jian Li?!", he yelled. "What are you doing?!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Jian Li lazily turned his head. "Isn't it obvious?"

"I'm in a relationship."

The head that peeked in had a maniacal grin.

Oh, oh, oh,

Finally an admission,

They are in a relationship!

Lu Siqi's features were already twisted, yet he still tried to deceive himself, "Did you really have to go this far just to anger me?"

"Do you two have the guts to kiss in front of me?!"

Jian Li's mouth curled into a defiant smile, "Is that so hard?"

He turned his head and directly pressed his lips to the ones he had been yearning for all night.

"You—"

Lu Siqi's eyes blazed with fury.

The servers gave a mental thumbs-up,

Surprisingly, huh,

What a perfect assist!

......

Lu Siqi returned to the private room, still fuming, and downed a strong drink.

Those with him advised, "Mr. Lu, it's just a minor celebrity, right? If you want, just snap your fingers, and they'll come running."

Lu Siqi didn't respond and continued drinking.

The others at the table exchanged knowing glances,

One person immediately caught on and chimed in flatteringly, "Mr. Lu, would you like me to introduce someone? A newly debuted trainee, 23 years old, with a slim waist and long legs, and especially good at moaning."

Lu Siqi glanced over, his expression icy cold.

The man hurriedly closed his mouth and bowed his head.

"Mr. Lu, let’s discuss the variety show you’re planning to invest in. I heard the planning is exceptional? It merges several variety shows? Are you planning to create a large-scale competition venue?"

Lu Siqi finally remembered the matter at hand and nodded. "Yes, all the newcomers from the entertainment company under my management will participate."

"Additionally, there will be guest appearances from other popular variety shows."

"Is the Lu Group planning to fully penetrate the entertainment market with this show?"

"What’s the prize for the final champion?"

"Right, an immediate contract signing for hundreds of millions worth of entertainment resources!"

"That’s worth fighting over!"

Lu Siqi finished his drink in one gulp, but the earlier scene still lingered in his mind.

He tightened his grip on the glass, his gaze growing increasingly sinister.

Just wait, Jian Li,

Even in death, you’ll still belong to me.

————

The next day, as soon as Jian Li entered his agent’s office, he was immediately questioned.

"No wonder you’re not renewing your contract; you’re planning to leave the industry and get married?" Li Lin narrowed his eyes. "You’re really not being honest with me, keeping things hidden?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand a thing." Jian Li pretended to be clueless and sat directly on the sofa.

Li Lin raised his phone. "Don't tell me you haven't seen the hot search?"

"The day after staying at someone's place, you went on a date that night,"

"It's just a date, so what? And I even sat on the guy's lap. How desperate were you?"

Jian Li raised his hand to brush back his bangs. "What kind of terrible place did you choose? It's neither soundproof nor private."

"The video wasn't posted by the club's staff," Li Lin hurriedly explained. "It was probably a guest."

"Whoever it was, you've already made it public. What are you afraid of in terms of privacy exposure?"

Jian Li suddenly got agitated. "Who said it was public? I was provoked by Lu Siqi,"

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn’t have..."

I tried explaining it again in the car,

but it made Huo Xiao so mad,

saying, "You were using me."

Damn!

That meal was wasted.

"Let’s not talk about that right now," Li Lin placed a contract in front of Jian Li. "You’re about to join a variety show. Are you ready?"

"Which variety show?" Jian Li took the contract, opened it, and glanced through it. "*Super Competitive*?"

Li Lin nodded. "It has been heavily promoted recently. It's Lu Entertainment's big finale this year, integrating almost all domestic variety show resources for an unprecedented mix,"

"It’s like a survival adventure game!"

"It’s quite creative."

Jian Li furrowed his brow,

It felt familiar to him,

As if in the original work, after Lu Siqi planned this variety show, his career skyrocketed.

The Huo family's business was gradually squeezed and shrunk, eventually leading to bankruptcy...

What was Huo Xiao's fate again?

He rubbed his temples, unable to recall the gory details of the plot.

In any case, it was quite tragic!

"What's up? If you don't want it, should I pull you out?"

Li Lin said, preparing to take back the contract from Jianli's hands.

But Jianli was quicker, grabbing a pen, flipping to the last page, and signing his name.

"Tsk—" Li Lin squinted at him suspiciously. "In the past, doing a show felt like a matter of life and death. Why are you so eager today?"

Jianli lifted his eyelids with a small smirk forming on his lips. "Of course, it’s Lu Siqi’s variety show, I’ll definitely participate."

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone buzzed with a WeChat notification.

He lowered his gaze and swiped the screen.

A group message immediately appeared on his screen.

"Luo Wudi: @everyone, Damn, I’ve been signed up for another variety show, what about you guys?"
