The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

After Su Cheng finished vomiting, she started brushing her teeth:

"Bai Ye, can you please stop worrying about social niceties? You're making me feel like I have no sense of accomplishment at all. It's not that you can't help me, but you can't do everything for me, can you? Besides, I don't want to live like a useless good-for-nothing!"

"What's wrong with being a good-for-nothing?" Bai Ye said. "My dream used to be to be a carefree, good-for-nothing parasite. Unfortunately, my family's financial situation didn't allow it, so I had to work hard on my own and ended up like this. If I had met a rich woman who truly understood me back then, I would probably be enjoying being a mature parasite now."

"I can't argue with you. You always have so many fallacies."

Su Cheng brushed her teeth, breathed into her palms to make sure there was no special DNA smell in the air, and then went to open the door for Liu Mengtian without makeup.

Liu Mengtian entered the room and, seeing Su Cheng still in her pajamas, exclaimed in surprise:

"Orange, we're about to leave, why haven't you washed up, dressed up, or put on makeup yet?"

"It's all because of that Bai Ye guy!" Su Cheng complained, "He dragged me along, and we stayed up too late last night..."

"I know you two have been apart for a long time, but you have to prioritize things," Liu Mengtian said earnestly. "Young man, you need to learn to control yourself!"

"Oh dear, Sweetie, don't talk nonsense at a time like this." Su Cheng stamped her foot and said with a red face, "I just set sail and I feel like I don't even have time to go to the competition with you."

"fine."

Bai Ye yawned as he walked out of Su Cheng's bedroom and said:

"At worst, I'll put in a word with Duan Lingwei and let you go straight to the semi-finals. She does have a little bit of that power."

"I really envy you people who were born with a head start," Liu Mengtian sighed and said, "The rules that we have to adapt to and win with all our might can be changed by you just by talking about them casually."

"Alright, Orange, let me help you." Liu Mengtian looked at Su Cheng and said seriously, "If I help you with your makeup, we can save a lot of time, and we should still be able to make it."

"Thank you, Sweetie, you're truly my best friend."

Su Cheng looked at Liu Mengtian and said with a grateful expression.

"It's okay, we're best friends!"

Liu Mengtian smiled.

But...

She glanced at Bai Ye, who was shirtless.

"Wow--!"

Liu Mengtian's heart was trembling.

Because Bai Ye's physique is just too good; those massive muscles have a strange kind of beauty.

Bai Ye's face was perfect enough, not to mention he's a top-tier rich second-generation, and now he even has such a great physique...

This is simply leaving no way for ordinary men to survive!

You know, her boyfriend Sun Dayong already has a very good physique because he works at a gym, but even just in terms of physique, Sun Dayong isn't even worthy of carrying Bai Ye's shoes.

Liu Mengtian began to help Su Cheng with her clothes and makeup.

It took about ten minutes.

Su Cheng has grown into a graceful young woman.

She wore a white women's blouse and a gray pleated skirt, her exquisitely curvaceous body tightly wrapped within, extremely alluring, with a prominent bust and buttocks, and skin as white and tender as snow, smoother than the finest mutton-fat jade. Her soft, jade-like arms, gracefully rounded and slender, with delicate, smooth, and tender skin and bones, were enough to drive anyone mad.

The skirt, nearly twenty centimeters above her knees, clung tightly to her hip curves, while white, sheer crystal stockings covered her slender, smooth legs. Paired with black stiletto heels, her straight, long legs accentuated the beauty of her feminine curves.

A pair of deep black, bright, and beautiful eyes, delicate and charming, with a touch of makeup on her face and thin cherry lips painted with a light pink lipstick, crystal clear and luscious, making Su Cheng exude the pure innocence of a girl next door.

"That's awesome, Su Cheng! If I were a man, I definitely wouldn't let you get away with this!"

Liu Mengtian looked at Su Cheng, put her hand on her shoulder, and said with a smile.

"It's a good thing you're not a man, otherwise I might not have been able to beat you."

Bai Ye also came out and smiled.

"So handsome!" Liu Mengtian's eyes lit up and she said, "Bai Ye, you're just a little bit away from being my idol, Duan Chengxuan. If you could be even more handsome, maybe I could change my idol."

Bai Ye smiled and said:

"Then you should continue to be a fan of Duan Chengxuan. I wouldn't dare to compete with him for fans."

"Alright, ladies, shall we set off now?"

"Let's go," Su Cheng said. "If we don't leave, Tian Tian and I will both be late!"

"Yes, my princess!"

Bai Ye struck a gentlemanly pose, stepped forward, took Su Cheng's hand, kissed her, and then led her to the outer area.

As Liu Mengtian watched Bai Ye and Su Cheng's retreating figures, she sensed that the two were a perfect couple, but a hint of jealousy flashed involuntarily in her eyes.

笔趣阁

Whenever Su Cheng was around, Bai Ye's gaze almost never fell on her.

Compared to Su Cheng, is Liu Mengtian really that bad?

We arrived at the Star Entertainment Company building.

On the large screen below the building, photos of the contestants who passed the preliminary selection were displayed.

Liu Mengtian became one of them.

Su Cheng excitedly hugged Liu Mengtian's arm and said:

"Sweetie, you're so pretty!"

"Come on, give me a high five!"

"yeah!"

As the preliminary results were displayed on the electronic screen, the program's slogan began to play:

"Who will finally stand in the center of the stage, beauties? Welcome to the Colosseum!"

"The Colosseum?"

Su Cheng frowned slightly and said:

"I don't think this metaphor is very good. Welcome to the Colosseum, Colosseum, that's a cruel metaphor. Doesn't it sound a bit provocative?"

Liu Mengtian rolled her eyes at Su Cheng: "Hey, trying to show off that your English is better than mine?"

"oops!"

Su Cheng gently punched Liu Mengtian:

"Do I really need to go that far!?"

Liu Mengtian smiled and said:

"They're right, the entertainment industry is a gladiatorial arena!"

Su Cheng: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Standing next to Su Cheng, Bai Ye smiled and said:

"It really is that exaggerated! Of course, that only applies to people with complex personalities who are single-mindedly focused on achieving instant success. For someone like you, Su Cheng, who doesn't care even if you're just an extra, then everything will definitely be fine."

"Most people who join the entertainment industry dream nothing more than overnight fame, instant wealth, opportunistic success, and quick profits—what's the difference between that and gambling? Very few of them truly have a dream..."

"If acting is truly a dream, then logically speaking, just being able to act is enough to fulfill that dream. Why bother striving for fame and fortune? Is there really such a big difference between being in a small drama club or something? If singing is a dream, then just being able to sing and continuously improving your singing skills is enough to fulfill that dream. Does it have to be to hold a concert for tens of thousands of people to fulfill that dream?"

"However, the truth is that explosive success is always for a minority. Most people don't improve themselves but just want to become famous, which is why there are so many helpless situations and unspoken rules. The entertainment industry is so attractive because many people gamble on their luck and on becoming famous. What's scary about the entertainment industry is that it gathers so many gamblers who will do anything. There are too few down-to-earth people and too many impetuous people."

"A true dream is something you can be happy with as long as you move towards it; why bother comparing who's better or worse?"

Su Cheng pursed her lips and nodded, saying, "What's cruel isn't the entertainment industry, but human nature!"

After reviewing the preliminary results of the talent show, Su Cheng and Liu Mengtian were about to go upstairs to Xingyu's office to confirm the details of the next competition with the relevant personnel.

Bai Ye said, "You two go ahead, I won't see you up. Call me if you need anything."

Liu Mengtian asked curiously, "Is Bai Ye busy?"

"Yes!" Bai Ye nodded and said, "I have some business matters to attend to, but don't worry, I'll be waiting for you downstairs. I'll be there whenever you call."

Liu Mengtian was clueless, but Su Cheng knew that Bai Ye was preparing to invest in Xingyu!

This is a huge business deal involving hundreds of millions of dollars, almost as big as the business Bai Ye did with her last night.

“We’ll be fine,” Su Cheng said. “Bai Ye, you can go and do your own thing.”

"OK."

Bai Ye stood at the elevator door, waving goodbye to Su Cheng and smiling:

See you in a bit!

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hurried figure ran over and reached out to stop the closing doors:

"Wait a moment!"

next moment.

A woman wearing headphones and sporting a perm with yellow waves squeezed into the elevator, panting heavily.

Bai Ye stared blankly as the elevator doors closed.

"Are there really such reckless people participating in talent shows?"

Bai Ye muttered something.

shook his head.

He then went to find Duan Lingwei.

……

The reckless fellow barged into the elevator.

Her unusual appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention upon entering. After all, everyone here was a preliminary contestant from a talent show, all of them beautiful and stylish. An oddball suddenly barging in would naturally draw attention.

"Trying to stand out this way? How naive!"

"Where did this trash come from!"

"Great, one less competitor."

A woman in black deliberately bumped into the clumsy girl, knocking her phone out of her hand.
