Chapter 84

Turning off Weibo, Luoyang once again paid attention to the news about "Next Queen."

On the official website of Feilong TV, the first headline was the latest news about the show: "On November 20th, the Top 10 Competition of 'Next Queen' will grandly begin, stay tuned!"

It was already November 15th, and with a quick calculation, the Top 10 Competition of "Next Queen" was just around the corner. By then, there would be another intense competition, but he wondered if Liu Qin had chosen her song yet.

At noon, 12 o'clock.

The roommates had gone off somewhere to have fun, and Luoyang came to the school canteen alone, ordering a lunch and starting to eat. Halfway through his meal, his phone suddenly rang.

Taking out his phone, Luoyang couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

The name displayed on the caller ID was... Yang Mi.

Luoyang and Yang Mi had exchanged phone numbers last time, but they hadn't been in touch since getting off the train. Why did Yang Mi think of calling him now?

Despite his surprise, Luoyang still answered the call and greeted, "Hello, Yang Mi, how are you?"

"Hello, Luoyang, have you eaten yet..." Yang Mi seemed a bit embarrassed, starting with some polite small talk.

"I'm eating right now, do you have something to talk about?" Luoyang was more at ease, as he didn't chase stars, and this Yang Mi was essentially not the same person as the big star from his previous life, so he had no extra thoughts.

"Well, I'm really sorry to bother you, but you said you also like Liu Qin, right? So, next Friday is the Top 10 Competition of 'Next Queen,' and I want to invite you to go to Shanghai with me to watch the competition..." Yang Mi said hesitantly.

Luoyang was a bit taken aback.

He then remembered that Yang Mi seemed to be a die-hard fan of Liu Qin.

But... what was this about? We only met once, right?

Do you not have any close friends, friends, or colleagues to go with you, and you have to invite someone you barely know?

Yang Mi, seeing that Luoyang hadn't answered for a moment, also felt a bit awkward and said, "Well, I know it's a bit sudden, but actually... actually, my brother wants to meet you. I mentioned to you before that he really likes your novels..."

Luoyang suddenly understood.

That makes sense!

Although he looked pretty good, he wasn't good enough to make a big beauty who had only met him once actively invite him.

"No problem, I don't have anything to do anyway, so let's go together," Luoyang said cheerfully. In fact, even if Yang Mi hadn't invited him, he had planned to go to Shanghai to watch Liu Qin's competition.

Now that a beauty had invited him, Luoyang naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Great, thank you!" Yang Mi, seeing that Luoyang had agreed, quickly expressed her gratitude.

"Don't mention it, I was planning to go to the competition anyway, and it's better to go with someone," Luoyang said with a smile.

They chatted a bit more, and Yang Mi said, "By the way, you said you were eating, I almost forgot. I'm sorry for bothering you, go ahead and eat. See you on Friday."

"Okay, see you on Friday," Luoyang replied and hung up the phone.

---

Time passed quickly, and it was soon Friday.

Luoyang and Yang Mi had agreed to meet at a certain location. When Luoyang arrived, the other party was already waiting there.

Yang Mi was wearing a starfish-patterned dress, a simple style with a color-block design and a fitted cut, outlining her perfect figure. Paired with high-heeled sandals, it was simple and neat, very fitting for her. Beside Yang Mi was a boy who looked a lot like her, about the same age as Luoyang.

"Long time no see," Luoyang greeted with a smile.

"Long time no see," Yang Mi also smiled warmly.

The boy beside Yang Mi, however, was clearly more excited and stammered, "Y-You're Bai Da? I didn't expect Bai Da to be so young!"

Luoyang couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Yes, it's me. Your sister told me you like 'Wushuang,' thank you for your support."

"Bai Da, you're too kind! I not only like 'Wushuang,' but I also like 'First Intimate Contact,' 'Those Years We Chased Together,' and 'Living with a Flight Attendant'!" The boy said excitedly, listing all of Luoyang's published works.

Last time, when his sister mentioned meeting her favorite author Bai Da on the train, he didn't believe it, but now he believed it.

"You haven't even said your name, you're so impolite, and you're a fan of your own idol," Yang Mi patted her brother's shoulder and gently scolded.

The boy exclaimed, "Bai Da, hello, my name is Yang Fan. By the way, Bai Da, can I have a small role in 'Wushuang'? Just a chance to appear would be great!"

"Sure," Luoyang nodded with a smile. Readers often requested to appear as minor characters in his books, and as long as it didn't feel out of place, Luoyang usually accepted all requests.

Just as Yang Fan and Luoyang were chatting, Yang Mi's phone rang.

"Let me take this call," Yang Mi said to Luoyang and answered the phone.

She didn't know what was said on the phone, but Yang Mi's expression gradually turned sour. After hanging up, she turned to Yang Fan and said angrily, "Yang Fan, didn't you say you had no classes today! Tell me, did you skip class today!"

"I didn't..." Yang Fan's eyes showed a hint of guilt, and he quickly shook his head.

"Your counselor has already called me, and you still want to lie to me!" Yang Mi's voice instantly rose several decibels.

Yang Fan's face turned pale, and he pleaded pitifully, "Sis, I'm already in my first year of college, skipping a class occasionally isn't a big deal... We already agreed to go to 'Next Queen' with Bai Da..."

"Is this just an occasional skip? I've heard that you've only attended two days of classes this week! If you keep this up, do you even want to graduate!"

"I..."

"What do you mean 'I'? You've already met your idol, now go back to school honestly!" Yang Mi said fiercely.

Luoyang watched in shock. Was this the gentle and graceful Yang Mi he knew?

"Okay..." Yang Fan seemed to be afraid of his beautiful sister, turned to Luoyang with a sad face, and said, "Bai Da, I'm sorry, I can't go to Shanghai. You go with my sister..."

Luoyang wanted to say that skipping a class in college wasn't a big deal, but this was their family matter, so he swallowed his words and nodded, "It's okay, go back to school first. Your studies are important."

When he said this, Luoyang felt a bit guilty.

Like Yang Fan, he had also skipped class today...

Unlike Yang Fan, he didn't have a fierce sister to manage him.
