Song Song was not very skilled at interacting with strangers, but seeing the girl in front of her with a radiant smile and bright eyes, she felt a sense of warmth and nodded with a smile, "Hello, my name is Song Song. How did you know I was a contestant?"
Qiao Yu pointed at the contestant badge on their clothing, "Because of this, I have one, and you have one too, so it must be the same."
"Oh right." Song Song suddenly realized, "Miss Qiao, you’re really clever."
"Don’t call me Miss Qiao, just call me by my name." Qiao Yu smiled gently, "By the way, are you in the first round of the PK?"
Song Song nodded with a smile, "Yes, I am."
"Huh! That’s a bit strange, I remember there wasn’t anyone with the last name Song on the advancement list from the first PK round?"
These words made Song Song pause, "Uh, I’m not sure. I checked online and it said I advanced, then I received a phone call confirming it."
"Oh, I see, then maybe I was mistaken!"
Qiao Yu retracted the sharpness in her eyes, replacing it with a friendly smile. She subtly examined the girl in front of her, who indeed looked as Su Mengni had described, like a high schooler, but the other information Su Mengni gave was incorrect.
Ordinary appearance? No, quite the opposite. The girl in front had a face as delicate as a porcelain doll, just unadorned, which made her seem ordinary.
Also, the girl’s skin was excellent, fair with a rosy tint, even her neck was flawlessly white, indicating her skin hadn’t been touched by any cosmetic products, pure and natural.
Qiao Yu considered herself capable of detecting any traces of makeup, yet the girl before her was entirely barefaced, perhaps not even using a drop of toner.
And those eyes, bright and crystal clear, without any contact lenses yet so lively, her pupils akin to natural black grapes, capturing one’s gaze effortlessly.
This girl was not only not plain but also unforgettable.
Song Song wasn’t good with words, so she obediently stood aside without saying anything. She just felt incredibly nervous now, sensing that the second PK round would be much stricter than the first. Just looking at the venue, it seemed astonishingly grand.
Qiao Yu noticed the girl’s slightly reserved expression, guessing she was nervous, and proactively approached her to make friends.
"No need to be nervous, if you are really feeling it, you can eat a piece of chocolate to relieve it. Here, have one."
Song Song looked at the chocolate offered by Qiao Yu, feeling a slight warmth in her heart. She slowly extended her small hand to accept it, "Thank you."
"You’re welcome." Qiao Yu’s eyes briefly turned dark before returning to normal, "Although we’re competitors, I believe friendship comes first, competition second. What do you think?"
These words resonated strongly with Song Song, who nodded vigorously with chocolate in her mouth. "Yes, yes, I think the same. I’m not very smart and don’t have much hope, but I’m still very nervous."
"Haha! It’s okay, try to relax..."
At that moment, a staff member with a loudspeaker shouted for everyone to gather, and Song Song quickly finished chewing her chocolate, then wiped her mouth with her hand, "They’re calling us, let’s go!"
Qiao Yu stared briefly at her mouth in a trance, "Okay."
Ha! Really easy to fool, in such an important competition, she eats whatever her competitor gives her, how naïve can she be?
The gathering spot was a large indoor venue. Song Song looked around, feeling like it was a fantasy-like, magnificent wedding chapel. If the competition was held here, she’d probably be too distracted by the scenery to focus!
At this point, the staff on stage said, "Now, let’s welcome President Xiao of Xiao Group to give us a speech. Everyone applaud!"
President Xiao of Xiao Group?
Song Song’s heart almost stopped, especially seeing the man, cold as a winter night wind, stride elegantly onto the stage, making her so nervous she almost fainted.
Why, why is he here?
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, making her want to rush to the bathroom...
But just then, the man on stage suddenly called her name, saying, "Would Song Song, Miss Song stand up, please."
