At such a critical moment, the other party actually hadn't shown up, which left Du Qian utterly puzzled.
Could it be that Xu Ran, having just arrived in Bright Radiance City not long ago, wasn't very clear about the rules of the Pet Beast Cleaning and Caring Exhibition and couldn't find the place for the award ceremony?
For a moment, he felt some regret, thinking he should have taken a detour to Xu Ran's cleaning room after the competition ended and brought him over together.
That way, they could have exchanged a few words on the way, making up for the regret of not having met the previous night…
While Du Qian's mind was filled with thoughts, the host took the card in hand, and began to speak word by word.
"Second place, Du Qian!"
Is it me?
Du Qian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head wryly.
Still, he hadn't managed to surpass Xu Ran.
It seems my sister was right, Xu Ran's strength is indeed formidable.
