Lin Xingjiao was distracted for a moment just now, mainly thinking about how to cut so that both sides would look good.

　　After being distracted, Lin Xingjiao didn’t hear the sentence clearly, and only slowly reacted afterwards.

　　”No more.” Lin Xingjiao answered, and then felt that the time interval was a bit long, so he repeated, “No problem.”

　　But new troubles arose.

　　Because he was so busy trying to make both sides look good, Lin Xingjiao forgot the most basic principle of dividing the cake, which is fairness.

　　Facing the individuals of obviously different sizes and shapes on both sides, Lin Xingjiao could only be thankful that there was still a cake box blocking the way in front.

　　Lu Qi should… not be able to see it?

　　”Just give me the smaller half.”

　　As soon as Lin Xingjiao came up with this thought, Lu Qi had already spoken.

　　Okay, I see.

　　After all, the box wasn’t tall enough.

　　Lin Xingjiao originally wanted to give the smaller one to him according to Lu Qi’s instructions.

　　But he didn’t divide the cake well, so it wouldn’t feel right if he gave it to them like this.

　　Finally, Lin Xingjiao picked up the big one: “I cut it. I was planning to give you the big one.”

　　Lu Qi thought that if Lin Xingjiao hadn’t been staring at the cake plate, it might have been more convincing.

　　One cannot feel stingy about the food that one has handed over. In order to prevent this from happening, Lin Xingjiao decisively lowered his head and began to concentrate on eating his portion.

　　Then he suddenly understood why Jing Ke felt like he was drunk after eating the cake. The cream in this shop was delicious.

　　It melts in your mouth immediately. The first thing you taste is the texture, and then the sweet fragrance spreads.

　　Simply put, he loved it.

　　Lin Xingjiao’s eyebrows suddenly curved, and he completely forgot thinking about finding a topic to talk about with Lu Qi.

　　Lu Qi was not actually interested in this kind of dessert. He took the big one as Lin Xingjiao wished, but had no intention of using the fork.

　　On the contrary, watching Lin Xingjiao eat was more entertaining for him.

　　As he watched, he suddenly became calm and didn’t plan to move anymore. He also had a hunch that the thin piece would not be enough for him, so he saved it for him later.

　　Lin Xingjiao was enjoying his meal, but suddenly he felt like he had forgotten something.

　　Cakes are usually eaten on birthdays, happy birthday, greeting…

　　He seemed to have forgotten to wish today, but he used to say it every day during his live broadcasts.

　　After a series of reasoning, Lin Xingjiao remembered what he had forgotten: he had forgotten the live broadcast.

　　It was agreed that the filming would be completed in just two days, but now he has become a mysterious guest and the time limit has been extended.

　　My cell phone hasn’t been confiscated yet, so I can’t change the notification to my audience friends.

　　Lin Xingjiao swallowed the last bite, not noticing that there was still some cream on his lips. He raised his head and looked straight at Lu Qi with his big eyes: “I haven’t asked for leave for my live broadcast yet.”

　　He realized that his sentence was very incoherent and tried to reorganize it.

　　However, Lu Qi seemed to understand. He directly handed the other half of the piece that Lin Xingjiao had just handed over back to him: “Don’t worry, Li Rong will help you deal with it.”

　　It’s just that Li Rong probably doesn’t have an account on the live broadcast platform, and Lu Qi’s phone was also confiscated, so he didn’t know that Li Rong had registered another Weibo account for Lin Xingjiao.

　　But he said this first. After all, Lin Xingjiao is now a member of his company.

　　There’s nothing wrong with comforting him. At most, he will cover the consequences if something goes wrong.

　　Lu Qi suddenly felt that all his previous behaviors were explained. It was actually very simple. It was not because he liked Lin Xingjiao so much.

　　It’s just that he has a stronger sense of responsibility and trusts the company a little, so it’s just a matter of convenience for him.

　　If Li Rong knew Lu Qi’s idea now, she would probably not know whether she should thank him for his trust.

　　The more likely possibility is that she wanted to shake Lu Qi to make him sober up and think about what his original purpose was in bringing Lin Xingjiao to the variety show.

　　Li Rong had originally opposed Lu Qi’s actions, but since he was her master, she couldn’t persuade him.

　　Finally, his wish came true. After all, the director was Lu Qi’s former teammate, so it was just a matter of words.

　　However, when it was really time to go on stage, Lu Qi suddenly changed his mind and no longer allowed Lin Xingjiao to be a guest, meaning that he wanted him to just be there and then leave.

　　In fact, Li Rong knew at that time that there could be no other reason except that Lu Qi was too soft-hearted.

　　But it’s actually better this way, at least the two people won’t have any extra interactions.

　　However, subsequent developments made Li Rong feel overwhelmed. She did not expect that Rong Jia would secretly adjust Lin Xingjiao’s role.

　　It’s just for ratings.

　　The weird thing is, he was right.

　　The original gimmick of the variety show was the guests’ travel. Although they were all big stars with loyal fan bases, they were not as interesting as the complicated relationships between the guests.

　　Li Rong also watched the entire live broadcast.

　　He also watched the popularity rise. Although Lin Xingjiao is now also an artist of the company, Lu Qi is still the backbone of the company.

　　A newcomer like Lin Xingjiao cannot be compared with Lu Qi’s image at all.

　　Li Rong would not arrange two people who have a unclear relationship to hype up a relationship, and it is impossible for fans to buy it.

　　But no one expected that Rong Jia would find another way out.

　　Speaking of being scolded, the ones who scolded Lin Xingjiao were not that severe.

　　It’s ruining Lu Qi’s image. In fact, those who want to stop being fans have almost all left the last trending search.

　　Ultimately, this situation was caused by Lu Qi’s attitude towards Lin Xingjiao.

　　It makes the audience feel that Lu Qi seems to be in agreement with them, but in fact, Li Rong can really see it.

　　At first, Lu Qi was angry about Lin Xingjiao becoming a mysterious guest, but then for some reason, he suddenly felt better.

　　Especially when choosing the room, she regretted not recording what Lu Qi had said before and playing it for him now that he was going to live in a double room with Lin Xingjiao.

　　However, after being shocked, Li Rong actually calmed down again. After all, the marriage fact had been officially announced, and it seemed that there was nothing to criticize for now.

　　Instead, she began to manage the “Xingxing Passing By” account more carefully. If it was operated well, she already had a plan. When the vest was revealed, Lin Xingjiao could directly gain the love of most passers-by.

　　Become the explosive traffic and the company’s second cash cow.

　　”You can find an opportunity to borrow a mobile phone from the production team later, and then send the account and password of the live broadcast platform to Li Rong.” Lu Qi added.

　　Then he looked at Lin Xingjiao and said, “Don’t worry, just keep eating.”

　　Lin Xingjiao had an inexplicable intuition that Lu Qi seemed to want to see him continue eating.

　　But this one was clearly for him.

　　”If you don’t like it, why buy it?” Lin Xingjiao was puzzled. If the other guests didn’t eat it, wouldn’t the things Lu Qi bought be wasted? That would be bad.

　　How could Lu Qi say that he wanted to buy it for Lin Xingjiao because he saw that he liked it? He bought too many just to cover up his mistake. As long as he invited everyone, others would not be able to tell that he only wanted to buy one for him.

　　But the reason for packaging one was that Lu Qi hoped Lin Xingjiao would know that he bought it for him.

　　Unfortunately, it is obvious that the current situation is that the following people did not eat his food in vain, they all know everything, only this person is still in the dark and knows nothing.

　　Lu Qi suppressed his sigh in his heart: “Whoever is eating it now is why I bought it.”

　　Lin Xingjiao’s action of wiping the cream with a fork suddenly stopped, and his eyes lit up.

　　Lu Qi thought he had made it clear enough and had already prepared an argument, telling Lin Xingjiao not to be too grateful to him and just to take care of him a little because he was a newcomer in the company.

　　This is a long-standing benefit of their company.

　　Lin Xingjiao said, “Well, they all like it too.”

　　Lu Qi admitted that there was a moment when he didn’t know what to say.

　　Then Lin Xingjiao lowered his head, and this time he buried his head a little deeper.

　　Lin Xingjiao did it on purpose.

　　His first reaction just now was that Lu Qi had indeed bought it for him, but then he thought about the fact that Lu Qi preferred to express himself in a roundabout way, so he couldn’t understand the straightforward meaning.

　　Lin Xingjiao wanted to have something to talk about with Lu Qi, so he felt like he had used all his brain nerves just now and felt that he understood Lu Qi’s implicit meaning.

　　But it was almost too much of a stretch.

　　So keep your head down.

　　When he raised his head again, there seemed to be more cream on Lin Xingjiao’s lips.

　　And he himself was still unaware.

　　Desserts can make people secrete dopamine. When Lin Xingjiao is in a good mood, he will talk more. No matter what they talk about, he will start to talk nonsense.

　　It’s a bit similar to Jing Ke’s drunken state.

　　Lu Qi listened roughly and said that the cake was really delicious. He had never eaten it before, so it was really delicious and he hoped he could eat it again in the future.

　　Is this a hint to him? Lu Qi wondered.

　　Why can there be such a big difference between people? It is indeed difficult to change the stereotype formed when meeting someone for the first time.

　　Lu Qi looked at the cream on the corner of his mouth for a long time. Lin Xingjiao was still talking, and he finally couldn’t help but leaned over.

　　The tip of his index finger touched the corner of his lips and finally removed the cream.

　　He doesn’t have obsessive-compulsive disorder, but he wanted to do this, probably just to see if his whole body was really soft.

　　Now that Lu Qi has encountered it, he knows the answer: yes.

　　Lin Xingjiao was speaking happily, but was interrupted by this episode and he forgot where he was talking about.

　　Because it’s not important.

　　More importantly, it seems…

　　Lin Xingjiao’s eyes fell on Lu Qi’s fingertips and saw the milky white cream on them.

　　I immediately touched the corner of my lips and it was clean because it had been wiped.

　　Lin Xingjiao thought about how he had been talking like this for a long time just now, and wondered if Lu Qi was having a hard time holding back his laughter, and now he couldn’t help it, so he picked it up.

　　As he was thinking this, he saw Lu Qi stand up and go to the bathroom.

　　…Could it be that you were trying so hard to hold back your laughter that you wanted to go to the bathroom to laugh your heart out?

　　Fortunately, Lu Qi didn’t know what Lin Xingjiao was thinking, otherwise he would have been hit on the head.

　　He went to the bathroom, of course, to wash his hands.

　　Lu Qi stood by the sink and let the water flow over his fingertips, then shook them off without wiping them.

　　Turn your back to the mirror.

　　Only a vague reflection can be seen in the mirror.

　　The figure in the mirror raised his hand and placed his fingertips to his lips.

　　It rinsed very cleanly, with no residual sweetness, just water.

　　*

　　Lin Xingjiao woke up a little early the next day after eating the cake, as if the dessert he had eaten yesterday was still stimulating his nerves.

　　This time he heard the sound of Lu Qi washing up in the bathroom. According to his habit, he should be going out for exercise.
