At such a critical moment, the other party still hadn't shown up, leaving Du Qian utterly baffled.
Could it be that Xu Ran, having just arrived in Bright Radiance City, isn't familiar with the rules of the Pet Beast Cleaning and Caring Expo, and can't find the location for the award ceremony?
For a moment, he regretted it a bit—he should've swung by Xu Ran's cleaning room after finishing up to check in, and brought him along.
That way, the two of them could've chatted a bit on the way, making up for not meeting last night...
Just as Du Qian's mind wandered, the host, holding the cue card, began to speak word by word.
"Second place, Du Qian!"
Me?
Du Qian was stunned for a second, then shook his head helplessly.
He still didn't manage to surpass Xu Ran.
Looks like my sister was right—Xu Ran really is strong.
Although he felt a little disappointed, more than anything, Du Qian felt fighting spirit and curiosity toward Xu Ran.
