They are in the music show, but I am a stranger to them

However, Chen Qi originally wanted to seize this opportunity to openly admit the reason for his "half-month romance" with Chu Hua, but he never expected that Chu Hua, who was still holding his arm tightly, suddenly pinched the soft flesh on Chen Qi's waist at this moment, forcing him to swallow the words.

⑼The next second, Chen Qi quickly received a shy and pitiful look from Chu Hua, but soon, Chu Hua quickly turned his gaze to Xiangzi and Miao Meng, and said quickly:

Zero: "No, Qi and I are not dating! This outfit is just - it's just one of the costumes that Qi and I will wear on stage when we perform together in half a month!"

si...Okay, even Chuhua himself felt that this excuse was too fake. However, at this moment, Chuhua could not find a better reason to comfort Xiaoxiang who looked like he was about to collapse in the next second.

8 Chuhua was very clear that she had been secretly dating Xiaoxiang's ex-boyfriend during the time when Xiaoxiang and Qi broke up. This behavior would definitely make Xiaoxiang feel very uncomfortable - especially since she had long seen that Xiaoxiang still had deep feelings for Qi, but they were unspeakable.

4. Although she knew that Qi was the person Xiaoxiang liked, she still chose to have a secret relationship with Qi... In essence, Chuhua did this to prevent Xiaoxiang from knowing about this.

㈡As soon as half a month passes, I will return Qi to Xiaoxiang, but if Xiaoxiang knows that Qi and I are dating - then the relationship between these two childhood sweethearts will never be the same as before!

⒐ Chuhua didn’t want to lose Xiaoxiang, her good friend. She knew that her behavior was very bad, so she could only be so sneaky, afraid of being discovered, when interacting with the person she liked.

0 “Is that so?”

⑸However, as an adult, Miao Meng naturally did not believe Chu Hua's explanation. Especially when she thought of the scene of Chen Qi and Chu Hua wearing this black and white bunny costume and performing on the stage...

Although I kind of want to see it, I’m not that easy to fool!

"——Okay, Chuhua, Sister Miaomeng, and Xiaoxiang, the three of you should stop hiding things from each other. Isn't it better to just talk about this kind of thing?"

However, facing this scene, Chen Qi couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly broke free from Chu Hua's arm with one hand, and then came to the gaze of Xiangzi and Miao Mengqin, looking directly at Xiangzi, and said without hiding anything:

"Xiangzi, Sister Miaomeng, you guessed correctly, Chuhua and I are dating."

"boom!"

However, just as Chen Qi finished his words, Xiangzi, who had been keeping her head down and keeping silent, suddenly turned around as if she had exploded. But before she could take a step, Chen Qi, who had anticipated this, grabbed Xiangzi's wrist and locked her firmly in place again.

"——But, it was only half a month. I just wanted to help Chuhua get through the most difficult half a month, so I established this kind of relationship with Chuhua."

"And half a month later, when Chuhua's career has improved, Chuhua and I will return to our previous relationship. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xiangzi: “…”

Sure enough, after Chen Qi finished speaking, Xiangzi, who was still struggling hard, began to swing his arms less and less... until finally, he just waved his arms as if he was acting like a spoiled child, but no longer exerted any strength.

At the end, Xiangzi, with tears in his eyes, turned around slightly, but couldn't help showing an extremely resentful expression. He raised his head and stared at Chen Qi in front of him.

"...I want to know everything about you and Chuhua from beginning to end."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you everything."

Looking at Chen Qi, who was smiling bitterly and compromising as always, Xiangzi's originally resentful and aggrieved mood quickly changed from cloudy to sunny and gradually calmed down.

...I didn’t seem to think much about it.

He...still wants to redeem himself, right?

Chapter 1:

Chapter 124 Chapter 123: Xiang Miaochu’s face-to-face confrontation, Chen Qi’s “love letter” to Chu Hua?

Xiangzi and Miao Mengqin: "Lover of half a month?"

Chen Qi: "Yes, Chuhua and I have reached such an agreement. During this half-month low period when Chuhua needs help and company the most, I will treat Chuhua like a lover."

"After the birthday party in half a month, Chuhua and I will break up peacefully. I will not affect her career, and Chuhua will no longer need to rely on my support."

"Such an explanation, Xiangzi? Sister Miaomeng? Are you satisfied?"

Chen Qi finally explained the things between him and Chu Hua to Xiangzi and Miao Meng, and his mouth was dry after realizing it. Fortunately, Chu Hua beside him also understood what he meant, and quickly poured a cup of wheat tea for Chen Qi with his usual cup.

"Qi, for you..."

However, just as Chu Hua turned around and looked at everyone again with the wheat tea in his hand, he was met with scrutiny, suspicion, and even sharp gazes from Xiangzi and Miao Mengqin.

Although Xiangzi and Miao Mengqin's eyes did not express any words, at this moment, the guilty Chu Hua interpreted what she thought from their eyes, and at this moment, she expressed the thoughts of Xiaoxiang and Miao Mengqin.

"Excuse me, is Chen Qi the only one in your eyes? Are we not worthy of drinking barley tea?"

Chu Hua: "Well, um, shall I go pour a cup for everyone?"

However, Chu Hua was already feeling guilty about dating her childhood sweetheart and ex-boyfriend, and now she was caught in the act by Xiangzi. She didn't even have the courage to raise her head in front of Xiangzi. She answered in a trembling voice, even with a bit of flattery.

After all, Chu Hua’s current position is completely that of a “third party”.

"——Okay, Xiangzi, Sister Miaomeng, please stop bullying Chuhua. This matter is the joint responsibility of Chuhua and I."

"Besides, no matter what, Chuhua is still my 'girlfriend' now. Isn't it not nice for you to bully her in front of me like this?"

However, just when Chuhua was about to act as a "sinner" and do his best to make up for the harm his crime had brought to Xiangzi, Chen Qi suddenly appeared beside Chuhua and helped Chuhua out of the predicament.

Not only that, Chen Qi, who had not taken off his bunny pajamas, also used his height advantage to block Xiangzi and Sister Miao Meng's gaze on Chu Hua.

For a moment, Sanjiao Chuhua's figure seemed to be curled up in Chen Qi's arms.

Seeing this scene, Xiangzi and Sister Miao Meng's eyes suddenly widened, especially Xiangzi, who almost grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly again.

"Pray..." 2

For a moment, Chu Hua, who was rescued by Chen Qi from the scrutiny of Xiangzi and Miao Mengqin, naturally noticed Chen Qi's little action at this time, but after his heartbeat could not help but accelerate, he lowered his voice and called out in anger.

Chu Hua's anger is understandable. After all, she was most ashamed that her secret relationship with Chen Qi was discovered by Xiao Xiang and Miao Meng, who seemed to have a close relationship with Chen Qi.

And now, in front of Xiaoxiang and Miaomeng, Chen Qi was so openly intimate with her, and even disclosed their "relationship" to Xiaoxiang and the others.

It's really... so embarrassing!

What an inconsiderate guy. He knew that Xiaoxiang was ashamed of him and he must have known that Xiaoxiang still had feelings for him, but he still confessed their relationship to Xiaoxiang.

However, although Chu Hua's heart was full of complaints, at this moment, with her body and face blocked by Chen Qi, Chu Hua, who was almost unable to help but lean into Chen Qi's arms, still couldn't hide her blushing face and the shyness in her tone... and happiness.

Yes, when Chen Qi stood up for her, admitted their relationship in front of Xiaoxiang and Miaomeng, and took action to protect her, Chuhua felt a warm current called "happiness" in her heart for a moment.

Chuhua has been an idol for so long and has experienced so many intrigues and deceptions. What she has always relied on, apart from the few messages Xiangzi sent her, is the people of [sumimi] and the manager who accompanied her through the times.

However, although Chuhua and [Sumi] have experienced so many ups and downs and shared joys and sorrows together, after all, as idols, they have almost no right to refute the numerous public opinions, rumors and even attacks.

Sometimes, companies even allow attacks to continue in order to create momentum.

Idols are not afraid of being attacked, they are only afraid of not even being attacked - this is what the agent once told Chuhua.

So, for countless nights, Chu Hua could only swallow these grievances silently, alone in a quiet environment, lonely and strong, slowly digesting all these emotions.

But this time, she finally waited for the person who would protect her, the person who would protect her the first time he saw her grievances and weaknesses.

Even though, that was someone she shouldn't have liked.

However, Sanjiao Chuhua still had to admit the excitement and comfort he felt at that moment.

That was a true peace of mind that no one had ever given her.

However, Chen Qi, who only saw Chu Hua's grievance and helped Chu Hua out immediately, did not know the complex emotions in Chu Hua's mind at that moment.

He only knew that he needed to mediate between Chuhua and Xiangzi so that these childhood sweethearts, who had an emotional connection with him, would not be too awkward or even too confrontational when they met.

Otherwise, let alone the formation of Ave Mujica in the future... I'm afraid that Xiangzi and Chuhua will no longer be friends because of me. ②

Therefore, Chen Qicai had to emphasize the "temporary couple" relationship between himself and Chuhua to prevent the relationship between Xiangzi and Chuhua from further deteriorating.

"Chuhua, do you have any more barley tea? I'll help you pour some for Xiangzi and Miaomeng."④

Chu Hua: "As for barley tea, it's in the refrigerator in the kitchen... I'll take Qi with me."

Chu Hua, moved by his heart, did not reject Chen Qi's proposal. After a while, under the watchful eyes of Xiangzi and Miao Mengqin, the two of them walked to the small kitchen at the side, leaving Xiangzi and Miao Mengqin in the living room with enough time to calm down.

In the kitchen, Chen Qi and Chu Hua had a clear division of labor. One took out a tray and cups from the cupboard, and the other took out iced barley tea from the refrigerator. While Chen Qi was pouring barley tea into the cup, he did not forget to say softly to Chu Hua beside him:

"Chuhua? Do you feel better now?"⑸

Chu Hua: "Much better... Qi, thank you for helping me out." Lu

Without Xiangzi, who made her feel uneasy, Chuhua's emotions gradually calmed down. Looking at Chen Qi, who had taken off his bunny pajamas, Chuhua's eyes unconsciously turned slightly behind him, and at this time he was definitely staring at Xiaoxiang and Miaomeng.

Chu Hua knew that if he lowered his voice in this situation, Xiao Xiang would definitely notice his guilty conscience... But the kitchen and the living room were too close, so no matter what Chu Hua answered, he had to consider Xiao Xiang's feelings behind him.

She could no longer let Xiaoxiang know more about the extent of her love for Qi...

So, during Chu Hua's silence, she chose a response that would never be wrong, neither salty nor bland, and said:

"Although it's only half a month, and 'temporary couple' is just my metaphor...but thank you for helping me."

"It's nothing. I can't just stand by and watch you and Xiangzi have a misunderstanding because of this, right?" But Chen Qi was very calm about this. To him, he was just doing what was supposed to be done.

"——What's more, although it's just a metaphor, Chuhua, since you've already said that you need me to treat you like my girlfriend in the next half month, I'll definitely do it since I've promised."

"At least, Chu Hua is still my girlfriend now. How could I not protect my girlfriend?"

...That's too cunning.

However, even though he was wearing a thick pajama hat and used his drooping rabbit ears to hide his expression, Chuhua could still feel his pounding heart and his blushing face.

But then, for some reason, as if driven by a strong curiosity in his heart, Sanjiao Chuhua also lowered his head slightly, pursed his lips, and couldn't help but whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Well, Qi, if the one who asked you to be a 'temporary couple' was another girl."

"Will you pamper them as much as you pamper me?" ⑨

Chen Qi: “……?”

For a moment, even Chen Qi couldn't find any words to respond to Chu Hua, whose face was already red. Chu Hua's fingers were grasping the hem of her pajamas in a somewhat helpless manner. She pursed her lips and seemed to be somewhat expectant, but also somewhat apprehensive.

In fact, this is not the question that Chu Hua wants to ask from the bottom of his heart.

What Chu Hua really wanted to ask was… Was the peace of mind she felt now due to her being the “girlfriend” or was it because Chen Qi’s current girlfriend was her?

Am I special in Qi's heart, or is it just because I am his girlfriend? If I change someone else, I can still enjoy the same pampering as myself?

However, in response to Chu Hua's question, Chen Qi instinctively answered after a brief silence - but, because of Xiangzi behind him, Chen Qi finally swallowed the answer silently.

But then, under Chu Hua's gaze, Chen Qi took out his cell phone from his pocket and edited a long message in front of Chu Hua.

After a while, as Chen Qi pressed the "OK button", Chu Hua's mobile phone, which was far away on his bed, made a quiet but clear sound.

"——Chuhua, if you are really curious about the answer, then go and see for yourself later."

Chen Qi, who was pouring barley tea, also responded to Chu Hua gently in a voice that only the two of them could hear. Soon, as Chen Qi straightened his back, he picked up the tray and said in a normal voice:

"Okay Chuhua, let's serve tea to Sister Miaomeng and Xiaoxiang."

Chu Hua: “…Yeah.”

However, at this moment, Chu Hua's entire attention was attracted by Chen Qi's reply just now. When he thought that the answer he was expecting was on his mobile phone, Chu Hua didn't even have the mind to serve tea to Xiangzi and Miao Meng.

What kind of answer did Qi give himself?

Am I special in Qi's heart?

For a moment, Chu Hua was looking forward to the answer and had no time to think about anything else.

So, Chu Hua just followed Chen Qi without saying a word under everyone's gaze and sat down quietly beside him.

"...Are you really just a temporary couple? Why do I feel like Xiaoqi, you really treat Chuhua as your girlfriend?"

However, although the doubts in her heart were answered, Miao Meng was still dissatisfied with the ambiguous relationship between her dear brother and Chu Hua. She pouted and said with great dissatisfaction:

"After all, Xiao Qi, you had to agree to this request because you were worried about Chu Hua getting into trouble, right? You showed up when Chu Hua needed help the most, so you've done your best, right? Why did you agree to this request?"

"Do you know that if you do this, you will only confirm the rumors? If your intimate behavior is photographed, even your reputation will be affected!"

"——What does it matter, Sister Meow Meng?"

However, facing the wholehearted consideration of his adopted sister, Chen Qi smiled with extraordinary generosity and tolerance, and replied gently but firmly:

"If I hadn't had Chu Hua's help, I would never be where I am today. It can be said that I am where I am today because of Chu Hua's help."

"And now, Chuhua needs my help and my company, and I am also betting my future on it. Isn't this what I should do?"

Miao Meng: "I..."

However, after Chen Qi said this, Miao Mengqin was stunned and didn't know how to respond. He turned his head away sullenly and sulked alone.

Although the misunderstanding had been cleared up and the brother she had adopted was indeed just as she had thought, an honest, innocent and responsible big boy, Miao Meng was still very angry. She was angry at her brother's easy-to-talk-to personality, which she had known for a long time.

Really, although Chu Hua was indebted to Xiao Qi, the request he agreed to was too outrageous, wasn't it?

In the final analysis, Chu Hua's idol career was hit, but it actually had nothing to do with him! As an idol, Chu Hua was in such close contact with the opposite sex, and he helped them again and again for fear that others would misunderstand him. He should have known the risks behind it, right?

Even if Xiao Qi wanted to repay the favor, he just needed to help Chu Hua resume her career. Didn't he help Chu Hua get a spot in the cast of "It's a Shame on You"? Isn't the film and television industry much more advanced than being an idol? Why did he need to agree to Chu Hua's request to be a "temporary couple" for half a month?

Isn't it that Chu Hua, the one who saw that her daughter Xiao Qi was soft-hearted and easy to deceive, that deliberately made this request when she was at her most vulnerable and Xiao Qi was least likely to refuse her?

Miao Mengqin is 200% sure! At Chuhua's birthday party in half a month, Chuhua will definitely do something earth-shattering and tear-jerking! Let her and Xiaoqi be tied together completely!

By then, if she really hypes up the CP, it will be almost impossible for Xiaoqi to get rid of Chuhua even if she wants to!
