Chapter 548: You’re Saying That I’m Inferior to Him?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jing Jianbai didn’t know about Murong Qiao’s arrival. He only sat in the practice room and played the piano after rejecting the invitations sent by Qiu Ze and the others.

He played the melody that he was not more familiar with seriously again, but he pursed his lips and made some changes in dissatisfaction.

Just as Jing Jianbai was recording his inspiration, the door behind him was suddenly pushed open.

“h.e.l.lo, are you Jing Jianbai?” Chen Chenghan leaned against the door frame and looked in.

Jing Jianbai turned around when his name was called. “…You are?”

He had never paid attention to people, so when he saw an unfamiliar boy coming to look for him, he couldn’t help but look puzzled.

“I’m the roommate who didn’t come yesterday. You can call me Chen Chenghan.”

Chen Chenghan was an easygoing person. After confirming that he hadn’t found the wrong person, he walked in and sat down beside Jing Jianbai to talk.

“I saw them go out to celebrate, but I didn’t know where the dormitory was and how to get there, so I asked Qiu Ze for your address,” Chen Chenghan explained.

Who asked him to be stuffed into the show by his sister halfway? He was now a step behind the others.

However, thinking about how he had not been chosen for the pre-selection back then, Chen Chenghan felt that this was quite good.

After learning that the other party was going to the dormitory, Jing Jianbai gave him an address and route.

Chen Chenghan was stunned for a moment. “You’re not going back with me?”

“No.” Jing Jianbai rejected coldly. “I want to practice. Go back by yourself. I can give you the key first.”

He had yet to complete his training quota today. Jing Jianbai had always been strict and disciplined when it came to things he loved.

Chen Chenghan clicked his tongue. “Why are you still practicing? I heard from them that you were first place today. You’re already so powerful…”

He was a salted fish himself. He came to the variety show because he suddenly wanted to beg his sister to make him a big star. Therefore, when he heard Jing Jianbai’s words, he immediately couldn’t understand.

However, even though he didn’t understand, Chen Chenghan admired this kind of person who worked hard to spur himself on.

“Then I’ll stay here with you for a while. It’s meaningless to go back alone anyway.”

After saying this, Chen Chenghan had no intention of asking Jing Jianbai for permission. He found a place to sit and took out his phone to start reading.

He came in a hurry today. Fortunately, his teammates who were a.s.signed to him were very awesome and exciting. Therefore, they carried Chen Chenghan over at a low alt.i.tude and barely pa.s.sed the preliminaries.

If it were an ordinary person, they would only start to feel anxious about this last-place result. However, it was obvious that Chen Chenghan was not an ordinary person. He held his cell phone heartlessly and stared at the screen from time to time.

Seeing that he had no intention of disturbing him, Jing Jianbai continued to focus on practicing the piano.

After all, this practice room was not his alone.

Meanwhile, Qiu Ze had also arrived at Feng Duo’s private room and successfully blended into the atmosphere of everyone’s celebration.

“I didn’t even dare to dream about it. Today, I really pa.s.sed. How satisfying.” The roommate sat beside Qiu Ze said with a smile. “Actually, it’s all thanks to you and Jing Jianbai leading me to victory.”

He clearly had a good understanding of his own strength, so after saying that, he didn’t hesitate to attribute the credit to Qiu Ze and Jing Jianbai.

“I heard that the second match will be randomly grouped again. I wonder if there will be a second time for such a good thing.” Someone else echoed.

However, everyone was quite relaxed at this moment, so they were not too anxious. They all said some nonsense.

Qiu Ze smiled and didn’t say anything. He just drank a gla.s.s of wine and looked at the other side of the private room.

Feng Duo sat in the best seat. Around him were two people with flattering expressions. Clearly, they were saying something nice to praise Feng Duo.

For no reason, Qiu Ze suddenly recalled what the other party had said today.

“Are you trying to please me?”

He looked like he was very good at accepting flattery. His background was probably not bad. It could even be said that he had some status and power in his family.

Otherwise… they wouldn’t have achieved the good results of second place.

Qiu Ze’s eyes darkened as he pondered about matters related to Feng Duo.

This time, he wanted to debut, so he paid special attention to everyone who could become his opponent.

But he had also seen Feng Duo’s performance.

To be honest, there was nothing interesting about it. There were no signs of “high popularity” at all.

Qiu Ze frowned and couldn’t help but think too much.

Coincidentally, the people on Feng Duo’s side also casually mentioned the rankings.

“In my opinion, Feng Duo, you should calm down. Previously, you said that you would definitely get first place, but in the end, you were still suppressed by Jing Jianbai’s group.”

The boy sitting diagonally opposite Feng Duo was probably drunk. “If you ask me, Jing Jianbai was really awesome back then. He stood on the stage expressionlessly and looked like a strong compet.i.tor.”

The smile on Feng Duo’s face gradually faded.

However, the boy was still unaware. “I think he’s still the most popular. If I can be a.s.signed to the same group as him for the second round, I think I won’t even have to work hard!”

Just thinking about being carried by an expert felt good.

But when these words landed in Feng Duo’s ears, the meaning changed.

“You’re saying that I’m inferior to him?” Feng Duo stopped smiling and rested his legs on the counter. His tone was light and emotionless.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the two people beside him shut their mouths and shrank to the side without saying a word.

The boy was not really drunk. Seeing that Feng Duo had woken up so quickly, he shook his head with a strong desire to live and denied what he had just said.

-No, you’re the strongest! Jing Jianbai was at most lucky this time. Brother Feng, you’re stronger. You’ll definitely be first place in the future!”

The boy tensed up and hurriedly said something good.

However, his words were still provocative in the end, so Feng Duo’s expression turned cold, and the others became more careful.

Seeing that the boy was taking advantage of the situation, Feng Duo felt even more disdainful. However, when the other party mentioned that he had become second place today, he was even more unhappy.

He should have gotten first place.

At the thought of this, Feng Duo didn’t say anything. With a cold expression, he stood up and walked past everyone.

Seeing this, the others naturally didn’t dare to stop him and made way for Feng Duo.? ⁵

Feng Duo had booked the most luxurious private room. Therefore, other than the hall for revelry, there was also a lounge and a beautiful balcony.

He walked to the balcony and took out his phone. Without looking, he skillfully found his contact and dialed a number.

Beep! Beep!

The call was quickly picked up.

“Young… Master Feng.” The other party clearly paused for a moment when he called him, as if he was surprised, but also as if he was saying that this call was a little inappropriate.

Feng Duo frowned in understanding. “Put my father on the phone.”

“This—” The other party immediately hesitated.

Feng Duo lost his patience. “Don’t make me repeat myself.”

There was silence on the other end of the line.

Feng Duo was not worried that the other party would disobey him. He held his phone and waited for a while. In less than a minute, the other party replied.

“Little Duo, why are you calling Daddy at this time?”

The middle-aged man’s voice and tone couldn’t help but be heard. The two of them were father and son, and this father clearly doted on and valued his son.

Feng Duo narrowed his eyes unhappily. “I’m not in first place in this round of voting.”

He had promised him previously that he would make him the most outstanding and eye-catching person..
