Chapter 376: Was Still Missing
How uncomfortable the fans felt when Shi Xi was scolded was how comfortable they were now.
Was it just lip service?
If you felt good, did the person you hurt deserve it?
When harassing others, they felt that they were insignificant. They stood on the moral high ground and pointed at women’s clothes. Little did they know that this was the biggest harassment.
Now that they were punished, they started crying for forgiveness?
What the fans were most worried about now was Shi Xi’s softness.
After all, Shi Xi looked soft and easy to bully, and she was very much like a Madonna.
After waiting for a long time, Kuai Xue Entertainment’s legal department issued an announcement.
@Kuai Xue Entertainment’s Legal Department: [The internet is not an illegal place. We have already warned you beforehand that we will definitely pursue this matter to the end!]
[Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. I hope that after this matter, everyone can become a better person.]
All sorts of announcements were made, which meant that the punishment would be carried out.
The wretched chickens’ accounts were permanently banned. Those who should be fined would be fined, and those who should be detained would be detained.
If there was any effect, it would be that after this incident, the wretched chickens on Weibo had become much more cautious before they made their comments. They no longer dared to casually post those vulgar comments.
Shi Xi’s fans were cheering and jumping for joy. One after another, they started to repost and draw the lottery.
It was difficult to defend rights, especially when it was related to celebrities. Many people felt that as a public figure, they should be scolded and criticized.
*
Shi Xi looked at the clean and tidy mess on her Weibo and smiled in satisfaction.
This was how it should be!
Zhu Lin tidied up Shi Xi’s things and said, “I’m sorry. It was my mistake this time that caused such a huge incident.”
In this incident, Zhu Lin was the one who blamed herself the most.
If she had not fainted from shock and insisted on checking Shi Xi’s Weibo, this series of events might not have happened.
“It’s not your fault. I insisted on posting it.” Shi Xi swiped her phone and said regretfully, “It’s a pity that the other photos are gone.”
Zhu Lin thought to herself that it was a good thing that they were gone. Otherwise, she would have lost her job.
Listening to Shi Xi’s description, those photos seemed to be even more daring and exposing.
“Oh right, there are still a few days of vacation before you enter the group this time. Are you going to school or going home?” Zhu Lin asked. “Brother Han said that he won’t give you any work for the time being and will let you rest for a few days.”
“Then it’s better to go home.” Shi Xi raised her head and thought for a moment before saying, “If you didn’t remind me, I would have forgotten that I’m still a student.”
Zhu Lin flipped through Shi Xi’s books and said, “These are your textbooks. You should read them when you have time. There’s still a final exam.”
Shi Xi lay on the sofa, barely breathing.
Why did she have to study?
Why did she have to take the exam?
She was already so rich, what was there to study for?!
With this thought in her mind, Shi Xi accepted her fate and picked up the book and pen. She flipped to the first page and began to write.
Zhu Lin tidied up her things and realized that Shi Xi had already seen the last chapter of the textbook.
“Don’t read it backward. You only learn the first half of the book this semester,” Zhu Lin reminded her. “The second half is for the next semester.”
After Shi Xi finished reading the last page, she raised her eyes and asked in puzzlement, “How do you know so much?”
Zhu Lin smiled. “I joined your class group.”
Shi Xi put the textbook aside and asked, “Are there any other textbooks?”
“They’re all on the bookshelves.” Zhu Lin added, “Haicheng University has online courses. You can take these courses online.”
Shi Xi casually picked up a book and said perfunctorily, “I know.”
She wouldn’t take online courses.

Chapter 377: The Back Garden of the Rich
Shi Xi and [Secret Love Exchange] signed a six-episode variety recording contract. The program team knew that Shi Xi was about to enter the group, so they continued to shoot the variety show for several days.
After all, Shi Xi was one of the highlights of this variety show.
What could be more interesting than watching a straight girl in love?
In the fourth episode, the male guests selected their dates based on the breakfast made by the female guests.
Shi Xi made instant noodles with an egg and sausage.
Feng Yingyuan made wonton and poured a glass of red wine beside it.
Xu Ziqing made a sandwich with soy milk and a small sun drawn on top of the sandwich with jam.
From the presentation, Xu Ziqing made the healthiest and most liked breakfast. Feng Yingyuan put in a glass of red wine and made it clear that she had made this breakfast.
Sure enough, after the three breakfasts were placed, the male guests immediately matched up.
Li Jinfan was the first to choose instant noodles and said, “I’ll choose this one.”
Chu Yuan and Wu Ni smiled meaningfully.
The entire program team knew that Li Jinfan liked Shi Xi.
Li Jinfan did not hide his liking for her.
But because Li Jinfan and Shi Xi were young, everyone looked at them as if they were children playing house.
Chu Yuan looked at Wu ni and said, “You choose first.”
Chu Yuan and [Secret Love Exchange] had only signed a few episodes. It was impossible for him to find a partner in [Secret Love Exchange]?
Now was the time when his career was on the rise. How could he possibly be involved in a time-consuming affair like falling in love?
Wu Ni thanked him and went forward to choose his breakfast.
Everyone thought that Wu Ni would choose a sandwich and soy milk. After all, Wu Ni had sent flowers earlier and the two of them had even sang ‘A Little Love Song’ together.
However, Wu Ni hesitated for a moment before choosing the wonton and red wine.
After seeing Wu Ni’s choice clearly, everyone was shocked.
[F*ck, why did Wu Ni not choose Qing Qing?]
[Old scumbag. Sister Wine, Qing Qing, run away quickly. This kind of man isn’t worth it!]
[In the last episode, he was extremely intimate with Qing Qing. He gave her flowers and sang. In the end, when he chose someone to date, he chose Sister Wine– this is probably a man.]
[I don’t understand, but I’m very shocked.]
The audience in god’s view was all stunned.
In that case, Chu Yuan could only choose Xu Ziqing to go on a date.
The three dating groups began.
Li Jinfan originally wanted to bring Shi Xi to the amusement park, but the program team had arranged a date location.
South Park.
When Li Jinfan saw this location, he asked, “Can’t we change places?”
One look at this place and he could tell that this was a place that grandpas and aunties liked to gather!
Even going to Starbucks’ milk tea shop was better than going to this lousy park!
The program team directly refused.
They could only go to South Park.
Li Jinfan held onto hope and prayed that this park might only have an ordinary name. Perhaps it would be very beautiful inside and would be suitable for dating!
However, when they reached the place, Li Jinfan saw a bunch of grandpas surrounding the flower bed and watching others play chess.
Walking further, there was a calligrapher who used a huge brush to dip it in water and write on the ground.
There were also elderly people practicing Taiji swords beside him.
Li Jinfan: …
Shi Xi: “This place is quite lively!”
Li Jinfan introduced, “This used to be the backyard of a rich man. After some changes, this place has become an open park.”
Shi Xi looked at the buildings beside her and nodded. “No wonder it’s so exquisite.”
So it was all made of money.
Although it was a garden, after strolling around for a while, the two of them lost the fun of sightseeing.
“Can we go out?” Li Jinfan asked.
Program team: “No.”
Shi Xi looked around and said, “Since we have nothing to do, let’s find something to do.”
Li Jinfan agreed.
Hence, the two of them joined the volunteer activity in the park.
The main content was to pick up the trash that others threw away.
Li Jinfan picked up the bottle and said in puzzlement, “I don’t understand. Why are we doing this?”
Shi Xi said, “Just think of it as doing it for the environment.”
Li Jinfan was speechless.
On the other side, Wu Ni and Feng Yingyuan’s date was on a water yacht. It was exciting and romantic. At noon, they grilled their own fish, and at night, they had a candlelit dinner. The whole day was like a couple in love, making people envious.

Chapter 378: The Dinner Given Out By the Park Volunteers Was Roujiamo and Porridge
Chu Yuan and Xu Ziqing were decent people. They kept their manners and spent the day peacefully.
In the evening, they returned to the villa.
Shi Xi and Li Jinfan were the first to go back. They had been volunteering in the park for half a day and returned in the afternoon.
After that, Chu Yuan and Xu Ziqing went on a date in a classical garden. The two of them played around for half a day and ended the date before the sky turned dark.
Only Wu Ni and Sister Wine were left. The two of them were so happy that they didn’t even think about going home until dinner time.
Xu Ziqing asked, “Why don’t we give Sister Feng a call and ask when they’ll be back?”
Li Jinfan said lazily, “Since they’re not back, it means that they’re on a date. It’s not good to disturb them at this time, is it?”
“But I’m going to make dinner. What if they can’t make it back in time?” Xu Ziqing seemed to be worried about their dinner.
“Let’s save some dinner for them.” Li Jinfan didn’t want to spoil Xu Ziqing and said bluntly, “Maybe they’ll come back just when we’re done.”
Shi Xi leaned on the sofa and ate potato chips. “It’s already so late. Maybe they are already eating outside.”
Xu Ziqing looked like a little wife who was worried that her husband would not be able to eat.
Chu Yuan was silent.
As an adult man, he knew a little about Wu Ni’s thoughts.
He just wanted to test which of the two women was better, so he could choose between them.
Xu Ziqing was a little scheming, but she was too clingy.
Sister Wine was free and easy-going, and it was easy to attract men’s desire to conquer her. But such a woman was not easy to control.
Xu Ziqing held her phone and was still hesitating whether to make a call.
“Xi Xi, I’m going to cook. Give Sister Feng a call and ask when they will be back for dinner.” Xu Ziqing felt like pushing Shi Xi out.
Shi Xi sighed and helplessly picked up her phone.
Forget it.
Shi Xi gave Sister Wine a call and asked when they would be back.
Xu Ziqing stood in the kitchen, picking up a handful of vegetables, but she was paying attention to Shi Xi’s call.
Very soon, Shi Xi hung up and said, “Sister Feng said they’re eating outside, so we don’t have to wait for them.”
Xu Ziqing pinched the vegetables and said sourly, “I didn’t expect this date to last until tonight.”
Li Jinfan looked at Shi Xi and said regretfully, “If I had known earlier, we would have finished eating outside.”
Shi Xi said, “I’ve asked. The dinner given out by the park volunteers is roujiamo and porridge.”
Li Jinfan: …
Although it was his first time participating in a variety show, he knew that it was definitely not normal for a volunteer to pick up trash for a whole day in a variety show!
Xu Ziqing was still feeling sour. “We’ll cook at home while they eat out. It’s really nice.”
Shi Xi got up and said, “Let me wash the vegetables.”
Chu Yuan and Xu Ziqing cooking were already enough.
However, Shi Xi knew that if she didn’t help, Xu Ziqing would definitely say something in secret.
The seemingly weak little white flower was actually very calculative deep down.
When she was cooking dinner, Xu Ziqing was in a bad mood. She did not say much and there was not a trace of a smile on her face.
Chu Yuan saw that Xu Ziqing was not in a good mood and said considerately, “You should go and rest for a while. I’ll cook dinner.”
Xu Ziqing smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry. It might have been the wind in the afternoon. I’ll go upstairs and lie down for a while.”
“Okay, I’ll call you when we’re eating,” Chu Yuan replied.
Xu Ziqing immediately put down the work in her hands and went upstairs to play with her phone.
Shi Xi and Li Jinfan took the initiative to help.
Although the two of them didn’t know how to cook, they still knew how to wash and cut vegetables.

Chapter 379: Who Wants To Eat Your Leftovers
After dinner was prepared, the four of them sat around and ate dinner together.
Originally, they were just eating calmly.
The three of them knew that Xu Ziqing was in a bad mood, so they did not start a conversation. They just wanted to finish their dinner as soon as possible.
However, when they were halfway through their dinner, Wu Ni and Feng Yingyuan came back.
“Eh? You guys are eating?” Feng Yingyuan was still carrying the takeaway box in her hand. She smiled and said, “It just so happens that I brought you sashimi and sweet prawns. They are especially delicious!”
As she said that, Feng Yingyuan placed the takeout box on the dining table and prepared to open it.
Xu Ziqing suddenly said, “Who wants to eat your leftovers?”
In an instant, the atmosphere at the dining table froze.
Shi Xi had just picked up a piece of rib and put the chopsticks into her mouth. When she heard this, her pupils trembled.
Wow!
Was it so tough?!
Chu Yuan and Li Jinfan stayed out of the matter and did not interfere with the girls’ issues.
Feng Yingyuan paused for a moment and explained, “This wasn’t something we left behind to take away. I thought it was delicious, so I ordered a new one and specially took it away.”
Wu Ni said from the side, “Yingyuan was kind enough to give you extra food. She originally wanted to give you supper. Qing Qing, don’t you like to eat shrimp?”
Xu Ziqing sneered and said, “I don’t want to eat shrimp today.”
Shi Xi did not say anything.
She wanted to ask if it was river prawns, but seeing the situation, she decided not to ask.
Shi Xi silently lowered her head and picked up the nearest shredded green pepper meat.
Wu Ni frowned and said, “Qing Qing, Yingyuan was kind enough to give you extra food.”
Xu Ziqing put down her chopsticks. “I’m full.”
Wu Ni said, “How much have you eaten?”
“I’m not hungry.” Xu Ziqing sat on the sofa, sulking alone.
Feng Yingyuan placed the box in the middle of the dining table and said softly, “It’s really delicious. You guys can try it.”
Wu Ni went to comfort Xu Ziqing. “It was your fault to begin with. Yingyuan brought you the seafood that you like to eat, and you’re still throwing a tantrum. Isn’t this your fault?”
Xu Ziqing threw the pillow on the floor. “Yes, yes, yes, it’s all my fault! I was wrong. I’m sorry, okay?”
After saying that, Xu Ziqing turned around and went upstairs.
Wu Ni chased after her.
Xu Ziqing started crying as soon as she returned to her room. She had been wronged for an entire day, and now even Wu Ni was bullying her.
When Wu Ni saw that Xu Ziqing was crying, he immediately apologized and coaxed her nicely.
Crying was a woman’s most useful weapon.
*
Downstairs, Feng Yingyuan opened a bottle of wine. She looked upstairs as she drank slowly.
When she drank a glass and the two people upstairs had not come down yet, she knew that the two of them were going to make up.
Tsk.
What was even more awkward was that two days later, it was Xu Ziqing’s birthday, and everyone had to pretend to be happy to celebrate her birthday.
Wu Ni waved his hand and gave Xu Ziqing a diamond necklace. No matter how they looked at it, the two of them looked very compatible.
Shi Xi: Respect, blessings.
Shi Xi had completed six episodes and was about to officially bid farewell to this love complex.
When she left, everyone cooked a sumptuous dinner for Shi Xi and sent her off.
It was so sumptuous that Shi Xi couldn’t bear to leave.
But when she thought about Chu Yuan leaving as well, Shi Xi didn’t want to stay.
Chu Yuan had only signed four episodes of variety, and after getting along with everyone for a long time, he stayed for two more episodes and left with Shi Xi.
Xu Ziqing looked reluctant. “Xi Xi, after you leave, I’ll miss you.”
“Maybe when you and Wu Ni get married, you can invite Shi Xi to go.” Feng Yingyuan sipped her wine with a sneer in her eyes.
During this period, the relationship between Wu Ni and Xu Ziqing improved by leaps and bounds. Anyone could see the spark between the two of them.
Feng Yingyuan had gradually become Wu Ni’s backup plan.
~
380 [Meeting You In the Depths of Time]
Chu Yuan tilted his head to look at Wu Ni and said, “If you really want to get married, remember to invite me.”
Wu Ni clinked glasses with him. “I’ll definitely remember, but a busy person like you must definitely come!”
Compared to the scheming and plotting between girls, the friendship between boys was much purer.
Maybe it was because they didn’t like the same woman.
Li Jinfan was listless all night.
He signed a 24-episode contract with this [Secret Love Exchange], and then he had to stay here to welcome new male and female guests and date different people.
It was hard to deal with just thinking about it.
Li Jinfan was depressed and wanted to drink, but even more depressing was that he couldn’t drink.
After this episode was broadcast, the fans of the few of them were overjoyed.
Shi Xi’s fans were happy that their Baby Xi did not have to be bullied, that she did not have to live under the same roof as the nonsensical man (Wu Ni), and that she did not have to be tied up and hyped up by the other two male artistes.
Chu Yuan’s fans were happy that their Best Actor would not be harassed by Shi Xi.
Li Jinfan’s fans were happy that they did not have to see him become a licking dog again.
All the fans were happy as if it was the New Year.
After Shi Xi and Chu Yuan left, [Secret Love Exchange] added two men and two women. The love affair was very eye-catching.
Although the popularity after [Secret Love Exchange] was not as good as the first six episodes, with the foreshadowing from the front, many people continued to chase after it.
Li Jinfan carried out his own straight-man persona. In [Secret Love Exchange], he was like a love insulator.
Wu Ni and Xu Ziqing were on and off, and finally succeeded in holding hands.
The netizens all wished them happiness, the fans sincerely wished them happiness, and the sober people wished them good luck and not to harm others.
..
After Shi Xi left [Secret Love Exchange], she went straight to the next production crew.
Before the movie started, several main actors had to read the script together.
This was Kuai Xue Entertainment’s own investment and tailor-made for Shi Xi.
A modern online drama called [Meeting You In the Depths of Time].
It sounded very modern (stu) and sweet (pid).
After arriving on the set, Shi Xi finally met the legendary male lead, Lou Ruicong.
Lou Ruicong was a signed artist for Kuai Xue Entertainment and had never been popular. Before he received this drama, he had not received a job for some time.
Shi Xi had searched Lou Ruicong before and knew that he was quite good-looking, but he was much more handsome in person than in his selfies.
No wonder he could become the male lead.
“Hello, I’m Shi Xi.” Shi Xi smiled faintly and took the initiative to befriend him.
“I’m Lou Ruicong, rui from wise, and cong from smart.” Lou Ruicong stretched out his hand.
Shi Xi thought that he was going to shake hands, so she stretched out her hand.
But just as her hand was about to shake his hand, Lou Ruicong suddenly raised his hand and slowly stroked his hair to stabilize his hairstyle.
Lou Ruicong raised his eyebrows and stared at Shi Xi. “I know I’m very handsome, but don’t be infatuated with me. I only act, and it’s not real.”
Shi Xi smiled and retracted her hand. “The director seems to be waiting. Let’s go in.”
“It’s just a round-up of the script. I memorized the script a month ago.” Lou Ruicong lifted his chin slightly and said arrogantly, “You can test me with any random segment.”
Shi Xi did not want to speak anymore.
No wonder he was so handsome and did not have any jobs.
He had such a bad personality.
They were in a conference room reading the script. When they reached the room, Shi Xi opened the door and Lou Ruicong went in alone.
Shi Xi: …Alright.
Shi Xi walked in and saw a lot of people.
The scriptwriter and a few supporting actors had already arrived, but the director was not here yet.
Everyone tacitly left the center seat empty for the director.
But Lou Ruicong walked over and sat down. He asked, “Why is there no one here?”
