Star Communication (Two in One)

"Quiet Gaze Ladybug has fallen under Ghost Ring King's Darkness Shadow Control assault!" the commentator passionately announced. "Will this battle end here?!"

The Mechanical Type Pet Beast referee flew to Quiet Gaze Ladybug's side, observed it for a moment, then blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the commentator's voice rang out. "Let us congratulate contestant Qiao Sang on winning this round!"

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Ghost Ring King! Ghost Ring King!"

"Yan Qilu! Yan Qilu!"

Cheers immediately erupted throughout the arena, the atmosphere as fervent as one would expect for a hugely popular contestant.

"Xun Xun~"

Hearing so many people calling its name, Little Treasure froze for a moment before enthusiastically waving its paw at the stands.

Qiao Sang returned through the passageway. She had only taken a few steps inside when she spotted a tall, slender figure leaning against the wall.

"Congratulations on your victory." Apollo strode over with a smile.

Qiao Sang paused. "Were you waiting here specifically for me?"

Apollo seemed somewhat surprised by her blunt question. His smile faded, and he became serious as he said frankly:

"That's right. There's something I'd like to ask of you. Could we find somewhere to talk properly?"

Qiao Sang took out her phone and checked the time before looking up. "Sure, but we might have to add one more person."

Apollo hurriedly said, "No problem!"

Twenty minutes later.

Coffee shop.

Apollo, wearing a mask and baseball cap, sat in a corner.

"Do you want to take off your mask?" Qiao Sang asked.

"I'm worried someone might disturb us," Apollo replied tactfully.

As he spoke, he gave the black-haired girl across from him a slightly puzzled glance.

This place was not far from where the competition was being held.
