"I fell asleep and didn't see the message."

Cheng Yu's voice on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse, as if he had just woken up.

Li Xuanning was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, a little regretful that she had lost her temper just now, holding her cell phone and speaking in a low voice: "I forgot about the jet lag...did it disturb you to sleep?"

It's probably around four or five in the morning in China right now, which is the time for an in-depth meeting with Duke Zhou. Cheng Yu was only able to see her message.

At this time, there was a chuckle coming from over there, and the person seemed to wake up a little, "No, I had a dream when I was sleeping. I woke up suddenly, looked at the time on my phone, and found out that you sent me a message."

Li Xuanning: "Are you having a nightmare?"

Cheng Yu: "Sweet dream, dreaming about you."

Li Xuanning: "..."

"Want to see you and make a video?"

Cheng Yu's voice was low and magnetic, and his tone of voice that had just woken up was a little soft, as if he was coaxing, which was quite tempting.

Li Xuanning blinked and glanced around with her peripheral vision, "Not now, it's not convenient."

Cheng Yu: "You haven't settled in yet?"

Li Xuanning said "hmm" and said, "I just went back to the hotel after dinner. I have to pack my luggage when I get back. If you don't go to bed, it will be daybreak. Let's talk some other time when we are free."

Cheng Yu: "Okay, pay attention to safety."

Li Xuanning: "Well, good night!"

Just as she was about to hang up the phone, she heard someone calling her from behind -

"Xuan Ning, there is something you forgot to take."

She looked back and saw that it was Shi Yuchen walking towards her with a small bag in his hand.

Li Xuanning glanced at it and didn't react for a moment.

"You don't want the late-night snack you just packed?" he said with a smile.

Li Xuanning then remembered, reached out to take it, and said, "Thank you, I'll go in first."

Shi Yuchen: "Okay, if you need help during this period, please come to me anytime, I'll be there."

Li Xuanning nodded nonchalantly, waved to him, then took her things back to the hotel, looked down at her phone, and found that the call interface she just had was still there, and it hadn't been cut off yet.

She hesitated for a moment, then raised it to her ear, "Why don't you go to bed yet?"

"Who were you talking to just now? The voice sounds familiar." The voice on the other end of the phone became extremely sober.

"Shi Yuchen." Li Xuanning replied.

"Oh, he's over there too..." His voice trailed off a little too long.

"Well, their team is an international team. In addition to global tours, their main base is here." Li Xuanning explained subconsciously.

"Is that so..." He paused for a moment and then added: "Then if you win the game, will you be like them? Stationed in that damn place all year round?"

Li Xuanning raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Are you so confident in me?"

Cheng Yu: "Of course."

Li Xuanning: "Go to bed quickly, you have such far-reaching worries."

Cheng Yu: "..." This thing is directly linked to my happiness in life, can I not worry about it?

Cheng Yu: "Then I'll sleep."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yu was not sleepy at all and his mind was not clear enough.

It seems that it is time for him to look at the world.

-

The second international competition of "Superstar" officially begins.

Li Xuanning, Dai Yunxi, Yu Ying and Ye Jin took their luggage and settled into the International Dome function room within the time specified by the program team.

The whole building has only three floors and is very large.

On the first day the players entered camp, there was no sense of ceremony.

There are detailed rules posted at the door of the first floor. Everyone must read them carefully before entering. After reading, everyone will receive a manual and a door card, and then they can carry their luggage into the dome function room.

When Li Xuanning and the others arrived, two teams were already in front of them, including players from country m and country k, with a total of 8 players.

They haven't entered their rooms yet, and they are chatting politely in the hall with their luggage.

Seeing new movement at the door, they all looked over.

"Which country?"

"It seems that he is either from country T or country H."

"I seem to see a familiar face."

"Ah, I saw it too, isn't that Ye Jin from boomfive?"

"It's Ye Jin from BoomFive. She left the group early and is now BoomFour..."

"Haha, yes, why did she quit the group and join the girl group again?"

"Maybe it's because you didn't do well after returning to China to fly solo?"

"She is still very strong, at the level of a senior. We have to cheer up."

"Yeah, who are the other three next to her? Have you heard of them?"

"No...but the girl in the middle is really pretty."

…

They chatted softly about the new players.

Dai Yunxi glanced at the eight people staring at them in front of them, turned around and asked Li Xuanning in a low voice: "Captain, should we go over to say hello first, or should we go find our room first?"

When Li Xuanning heard the word "captain", she raised her eyebrows in surprise and clicked her tongue. She didn't usually call her captain, but now she's suddenly so obedient?

"Are you scared?" Li Xuanning raised his eyelids and looked at her.

"Who are you afraid of..." Dai Yunxi pursed her lips and straightened her back, but her momentum did not increase much.

"After saying hello briefly, let's go find the room." Li Xuanning said, her eyes moved to Ye Jin, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Senior sister, I feel like they all want to get to know you, can you take the lead?"

Ye Jin brushed his long hair and smiled back, "Okay, follow me."

Li Xuanning: "..."

Dai Yunxi: "..."

Yu Ying: "..."

Ye Jin pushed his luggage towards the eight players who arrived first, "Hi!"

With just this sound, the eight people immediately put on smiling faces, greeted them enthusiastically, and took the initiative to introduce themselves.

There are so many names and they are so confusing that I can’t remember them all at once.

After a round of greetings, Li Xuanning only had one name that really matched her number. It was a player from country M, who had a very confident temperament, named Nora.

Others... the memory points they gave her were not very strong, and she was still a little face-blind...

Li Xuanning was too lazy to worry about it anymore. It was just a formality and it was basically done. Anyway, she had plenty of time to find out who was who. She was about to take the members to find their own room when there was new movement at the door.

Members from country T came. They were very polite and greeted them with a 90-degree bow as soon as they came in.

Here come four more... Li Xuanning's head hurt, so she just gave up on remembering their names.

Once everyone was here, everyone got to know each other briefly and then went to find their own rooms.

The first floor is a smart home room, where each player lives alone.

Carrying her luggage and walking into the dormitory, she was shocked when she saw the large smart screens surrounding her.

"What..." She frowned and muttered.

This kind of design, where she was surrounded by smart electronic screens while sleeping, made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"There really aren't any cameras?"

She put down her luggage and checked her surroundings questioningly.

Finally finding nothing, she breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up a chair and sat down, looking up at the big screen, wondering what the purpose of this thing was.

Suddenly, a voice came in——

"Master, 114 sent you a video call. Do you want to answer it?"

At the same time, a video call screen suddenly popped up on the big screen indoors.

Li Xuanning was startled and stared at the picture for two seconds, then asked in confusion: "114? What?"

Immediately, a mechanical sound sounded:

"The owner of room number 114, referred to as 114. The current resident is——Dai Yunxi."
