Chapter 9 For You, I Can 1
"Milu, I have something to tell you."
After Zeng Chen left, I took my computer and knocked on Mi Lu's door.
When she saw me, she was stunned at first, a look of confusion appeared in her eyes, and soon she changed her expression to one of impatience and looked at me with disdain.
"I think you should see this."
I held the computer and opened the previous video to show her. As soon as the scene , Mi Lu snatched the computer from my hand and deleted the video.
"What do you want?" She pulled me into the room and slammed the door shut.
"If I wanted to do something, I wouldn't come to you. I would have posted the video online or reported you on Qingning TV." I looked at her helplessly.
Mi Lu sat on the bed, her lips trembling violently, and she was in a state of panic.
"Milu, I never thought of snatching anything from you." I stood in front of her and said calmly, "The reason why I became a female anchor on Green Lemon TV is not to become famous, but to raise more money. My brother is now lying in the hospital, waiting for medical expenses to save his life."
When I said this, Mi Lu looked up, with surprise in her eyes.
"My brother has leukemia and needs a lot of money for treatment." When I mentioned Xiao Nuo, my heart became heavy. "Other people's opinions of me and my popularity are not important to me at all. I participated in the competition just for the prize money. And you are just the opposite of me, right?"
I asked Mi Lu back, she shrank back, avoided my gaze and looked away.
I once heard Guan Qiao gossip that Mi Lu came from a good family and had a smooth life, and she never had to worry about money. It was just that she had been glamorous since she was a child and loved to be in the limelight, so she would be very successful in the field of female anchors.
"In the final analysis, our pursuits are completely different." I shrugged helplessly, "I know that you have always had a dream of becoming a star, and being loved by fans is a million times more important to you than money. As for me, as long as my brother's illness is cured, I will automatically quit the ranks of anchors and continue to live my peaceful life."
Mi Lu's gaze fell on me again. There was a thin layer of mist in her eyes this time. Her expression was complicated, but no longer so sharp or confrontational. She showed a rare gentleness.
"Are you telling the truth?" she asked with difficulty.
"Do you know why I didn't expose you directly?" I looked her straight in the eye. "I don't want to ruin your entire life because of my momentary anger."
After I finished what I needed to say, I stood up and left with my computer: "Don't worry, there is no backup in the computer."
"Yuan Wan." When I was about to open the door, Mi Lu called me. She stood up, took a deep breath, and finally raised her head. "I'm sorry."
I looked at her in surprise.
Mi Lu looked at me with a trace of guilt in her eyes: "Yuan Wan, I apologize to you for the wrong things I have done."
Finally, she plucked up the courage to smile at me.
Mi Lu's smile at this moment is from the heart, it is warm. Looking at her curved mouth, I no longer feel the chill down my spine.
"And...thank you for risking your life to save me just now." She walked forward and extended her right hand to me. "We have reconciled, right?"
I looked at her, stretched out my left hand and gently held it.
Time flies. After we came back from Xingqing Island, it was time to announce the final results of the finals.
In the huge studio, Mi Lu and I stood on the lifts on the left and right sides of the stage, with silver lights shining down from above our heads, like angel halos. Below the stage was a sea of spectators, all of whom were discussing in low voices, looking forward to the final result.
"The winner of 'Who's the Next Millionaire' is——" the host deliberately dragged out the ending tone.
At this time, a rhythmic drumbeat sound came from the speakers in all directions. The light on Mi Lu and I was also disrupted, and they dispersed into countless finer spots of light, flying around the entire studio like fireflies, and then fell on everyone.
Mi Lu and I looked at each other. Ever since we reconciled last time, her eyes had no hostility at all, only anticipation for the outcome.
The drumbeats stopped abruptly, and the spotlight returned to Milu and me.
"Let us congratulate Yuan Wan!"
“Pah, pah, pah!”
"Amazing Soft, you are so awesome !"
“You really are the best!”
…
Before the host finished speaking, the cheers and applause from the audience could no longer be contained, and many fans stood up and cheered.
Mi Lu smiled and gave me a thumbs up. The light on her suddenly dimmed, and as the lift descended, her figure disappeared from the stage.
I'm the champion!
When I thought of the high bonus and no longer having to worry about Xiao Nuo's medical expenses, the burden that had been weighing on my heart was finally lifted. My eyes were filled with tears as I looked at the countless people who supported me in the audience.
"Thank you everyone! I finally did it!"
After the grand award ceremony, I returned to the backstage and Mi Lu, who was sitting at the dressing table doing her makeup, suddenly called me.
"Yuan Wan."
I looked over in confusion, and she raised her lips to me, revealing a confident smile that I often see: "You are just lucky this time, so you won the championship, but I will not admit defeat. The future awaits me, and I will continue to compete with you for the top spot on the hot list."
"Then we'll see." I shrugged and laughed too.
We smiled at each other, and for a moment, in the empty backstage, Mi Lu and I seemed to have found a tacit understanding, and the atmosphere became harmonious.
"boom!"
At this moment, the backstage door was suddenly pushed open, Lin Tong rushed in from outside, and pulled me forward.
"Come with me quickly." he urged loudly.
"Where are we going?" I asked, confused.
"If I had known you were so good, you would definitely win. We have prepared a celebration banquet for you, and we are just waiting for the main character to start the show!"
Lin Tong took me to a two-story Japanese-style wine house - it had a lovely red shrine decoration and glass wind chimes hanging on the eaves of the Japanese-style door. When the breeze blew gently, clear and melodious bells rang out.
"We have reserved this place for the night. How about it? A surprise, right?"
As soon as I got out of his car, I heard screams, and then a group of fans wearing T-shirts with my photo on them poured out of the bar.
"Ruanruan, we love you!"
"Ruanruan, you are so beautiful!"
"Take a picture with me, I'm your fan!"
…
I was surrounded instantly, I felt my feet slowly leaving the ground, and I was carried into the house, surrounded by enthusiastic fans. While I was taking photos with them and signing autographs, my eyes accidentally swept across the bar not far away.
Guan Qiao and Zeng Chen were leaning against the bar, looking at me from afar. Guan Qiao pointed at me and said something to Zeng Chen with a beaming expression, while Zeng Chen looked helpless.
