He is so Spoiled 11

 

 Chapter 11

Su Nuo and Lin Xiatian sat on the sofa in the corner of the restaurant, wearing black duck-billed caps, and waited for their food to arrive. The heater was turned up high, and they had taken off their thick coats and draped them over the armrests. They didn't feel cold at all, but rather quite warm. Lin Xiatian even ordered a cold drink and sipped it slowly.

They both wore simple casual outfits, but their good proportions and Su Nuo's fair skin made them stand out in the crowd. The girls around them couldn't help but steal glances at them from nearby tables, guessing if they were celebrities. To top it off, there was a furry black ball nestled in the handsome Su Nuo's arms, making them even more eye-catching.

This is what people commonly call a "handsome guy aura."

Lin Xiatian looked around, feeling hungry and a bit anxious. Just then, he happened to meet the gaze of a nearby girl, who blushed and quickly lowered her head.

Su Nuo took a sip of his orange juice and chuckled, "After this episode airs, you probably won't be able to go out without a hat, mask, and sunglasses."

Su Nuo was stroking the furry ball in his arms as he spoke. Since Lin Xiatian had spoken those words to him last time, their relationship had strangely become much closer. Lin Xiatian felt that Su Nuo's usual distance from him had lessened, and they were now more relaxed when they ate and chatted together.

"But when did you get a dog? I live next door to you, and I had no idea," Lin Xiatian asked.

Su Nuo and the dog seemed to soften when they were together, and the natural closeness between the two was harmonious. If Lin Xiatian didn't know that Su Nuo hadn't had time to raise a pet before, he would have thought that this dog had been with him for years.

Su Nuo smiled, pleased. "On the day I came back alone after filming the show last month, I saw it and felt a special connection, so I brought it home. It's very well-behaved and hardly ever barks."

Lin Xiatian was stunned. He had known Su Nuo for two years and had seen his smiles on stage and his polite, restrained smiles. However, this was the first time he had seen him genuinely smile from the bottom of his heart, looking especially soft and kind.

He exclaimed, "I heard that people who raise pets gradually become softer in their hearts, and now I believe it. You're so good to it that it's already changed you in just one month."

Su Nuo is the strongest among their group in terms of both personal qualities and learning abilities, and he naturally attracts everyone's attention. From the initial group of dozens of people to now only four left, no one has ever been able to get close to him. Lin Xiatian has tried before and asked him for singing advice, and he patiently taught and kindly responded to daily greetings, but it was impossible to chat and joke with him further and have deeper conversations.

He has always been like a rare flower that stands out in a crowd. However, Su Nuo's changes have been too obvious recently. Last month, he was still as indifferent as a hedgehog towards everything around him, but these days he is surprisingly approachable and friendly.

Lin Xiatian has spent the past two years with him and has never enjoyed such treatment before, feeling pleasantly surprised by the sudden attention. Today, sitting here eating and chatting with Su Nuo, he might even have to thank this dog.

Su Nuo lifted his head and smiled lightly, "At that time, I felt that it was very spiritual, and I liked it at first sight. I unconsciously wanted to get closer to it. Maybe it's fate."

Lin Xiatian was about to respond when the dishes began to arrive, and his attention was immediately drawn to the braised pork ribs in the server's hand. He quickly picked up a large piece and started gnawing on it while saying, "Actually, I'm quite afraid of it. It scared me last time when I saw it. I always feel like it's going to bite me."

He rubbed his arms and shivered, not waiting for Su Nuo's response and quickly picking up another piece of boneless spicy meat, exclaiming with a muffled voice, "Braised pork ribs, I've been craving them so much. Last month, I didn't even touch meat to maintain my figure."

He looked like he had been hungry for a month.

Su Nuo pursed his lips and laughed, Lin Xiatian's lively and generous personality was considerate and attentive even in small details, and he knew how to maintain a balance that never made people uncomfortable. It was very easy to get along with him.

Even without much contact, Su Nuo has always had a good impression of him. Su Nuo wasn't very hungry, and after eating a few bites, he focused on peeling shrimp to feed MoMo. Lin Xiatian was really hungry, and he didn't stop eating from beginning to end. The dishes on the table, except for a few vegetables that he didn't like, were almost wiped out.

After stuffing the last piece of chicken into his mouth, Lin Xiatian collapsed against the back of the chair, holding his stomach and sighing, "I'm so full, it was so delicious."

He looked at Su Nuo with eager eyes and whispered, "Let's come back and eat here again next time, okay?"

Su Nuo smiled and nodded.

Ji Chen bent down and sat in the nanny car, opened the cabinet and took out a bottle of water and unscrewed it. "Where is my phone? Give me my phone. Any updates now?"

Earlier this morning, he posted a Weibo, but he didn't have a chance to check his phone during the recording of the show. After the recording ended, he didn't even bother to greet anyone and went straight back to his car without even drinking water.

His assistant quickly took out the phone from his bag and handed it to him. His agent saw him open Weibo and check the comments, then spoke up: "It seems like it's not just us who want to take him down. Someone had already taken the first step before us. Last night after their show was aired, a small account exposed the newcomer for fighting, and in less than two hours, it became a hot search. They've already set the tone, and our post was believed by everyone. Now there's overwhelming criticism online. As expected, he won't be able to turn things around in this lifetime. Look, GRACE is going to distance themselves soon, and in the end, the endorsement will still be yours."

Ji Chen looked at the hot search and then returned to the comments on his own Weibo, which were full of comments like "I feel sorry for Chenchen" and "Chenchen, you're the best."

He finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that the first wave has hit, let's see how those haters will continue to accuse me of suppressing newcomers. Newcomers should have their own style, and they just debuted and already want to compete with me for endorsements. They should know their place."

Actually, Ji Chen didn't care that much about the GRACE endorsement. Although GRACE is a top brand in China, he has received many invitations for auditions from top brands, and his popularity is already established. Losing this endorsement won't affect him at all.

What he's worried about is what might happen in the future. He didn't expect to run into a newcomer like Su Nuo during the audition, who had the best body, looks, and temperament in the entire entertainment industry. He looked closer and saw that Su Nuo had a fair complexion, full of collagen without makeup, and looked so young that he could still be pinched.

What he feared most was Su Nuo's stage performance, as a newcomer, he shouldn't have much experience, but Su Nuo's infectivity was even better than his own, even after years of experience. He didn't need to learn what he had struggled to learn over the years.

He's already 26 years old, and even if he accumulates more strength, it won't be enough. If another newcomer emerges who is younger than him and has more talent in every aspect, then he will be surpassed. He must take the opportunity now and put him down before he becomes popular, or he'll be in trouble in the future.

Right now, he needs fans, connections, and by just saying a few words with his fingers, he can make Su Nuo the most hated person online. Let's see how he will make a comeback from this.
