416 Eating Steamed Dumplings While Crying
The doctor prescribed some sleeping pills for Tao Yuxuan and let her rest.
Shi Xi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Tao Yu Xuan sleeping soundly through the ward's glass.
It was good that she was fine.
Xie Yunzhou held her shoulder and said in a low voice, "Leave this to the police. Go back and rest."
Shi Xi said, "I don't have any scenes tomorrow morning. I'll stay here with her today."
Xie Yunzhou stroked the girl's head. "There are nurses guarding this place."
"There's still a bed in the ward. I'll rest well," Shi Xi said. "You go back first. I'm already very embarrassed that I caused your car to hit someone."
If she had not come to find Tao Yuxuan, Xie Yunzhou's assistant would not have gone to Charm and would not have hit someone.
"People who don't look at traffic lights will get into trouble sooner or later. Don't take it to heart," Xie Yunzhou comforted her.
Shi Xi forced a smile.
Leng Qiankun saw that the two of them were close and frowned slightly. "I'll stay with Tao Yuxuan too."
Cheng Yue interrupted, "Mr. Leng, you'd better come back to the police station with us to take a statement."
Leng Qiankun's eyes were gloomy. "Officer Cheng, I know you don't like me."
"But Tao Yuxuan is my friend. I won't hurt my friend."
Cheng Yue: "Let's save these words for the investigation."
She really didn't like Leng Qiankun.
After Leng Qiankun was taken away by Cheng Yue, Shi Xi looked at Xie Yunzhou who hadn't left yet, and asked, "Don't you have something to tell my brother?"
"It's just a small matter. There's no rush," Xie Yunzhou said. "Call your bodyguard over and have her accompany you."
"At the hospital... Alright, I'll call her right away." Shi Xi called Xiao Tian and asked her to come over to work overtime.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Xi looked at Xie Yunzhou who was sitting on the bench in the corridor and had no intention of leaving. She asked, "Are you going to stay here?"
Xie Yunzhou said, "I'll leave when your bodyguard arrives."
Shi Xi sat down beside him. "Alright."
Tao Yuxuan was arranged to stay in the VIP ward, and the corridor was much quieter.
Too many things had happened during the day, and Shi Xi felt a little sleepy after sitting there for a while.
Xie Yunzhou felt his shoulder sink. He turned his head to take a look and realized that the girl had fallen asleep on his shoulder.
It was really easy to put on a brave front.
There was only one bed in the VIP ward, but there was a sofa.
Xie Yunzhou placed the girl on the sofa and found a blanket to cover her.
Looking at Shi Xi who was sleeping soundly, Xie Yunzhou could not help but reach out and pinch her face.
Tsk, she did not remove her makeup. It was all foundation.

When Tao Yuxuan woke up, she smelled the fragrance of flowers.
When she opened her eyes, the sky was already bright.
"You're awake?" Shi Xi placed the flowers on the bedside and asked, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Am I in the... hospital?" Tao Yuxuan was still a little confused.
"Yes," Shi Xi said, "If you're hungry, get up and brush your teeth and wash your face. I've already bought breakfast."
Tao Yuxuan recalled what had happened last night. Everything seemed to be a dream.
After waking up, she was surrounded by her good friends, fresh flowers, and hot breakfast.
After washing up mechanically, Tao Yuxuan ate the steamed dumplings and cried, "Sob, sob, sob, sob. I thought I couldn't escape yesterday. They're so disgusting, I can't beat them sob, sob, sob, sob, sob."
Shi Xi sat beside her and patted her back, comforting her, "Don't cry, don't cry. Eat the steamed dumplings first before you cry, don't choke."
Tao Yuxuan cried as she ate the steamed dumplings.

417 Shi Xi and Ruicong Tryst
Tao Yuxuan cried and ate breakfast before recovering.
There must be good fortune after surviving a great disaster.
Tao Yuxuan comforted herself.
"Have you caught those two trash?" Tao Yuxuan asked.
"Yes, one is in the police station and the other has a concussion after being hit. I don't know if he will wake up." Shi Xi poured herself a cup of flower tea and was momentarily speechless when she thought of the magical things that happened last night.
"A concussion from being hit? What happened?"
"There was a criminal who escaped and ran through a red light and was knocked into the hospital," Shi Xi explained vaguely.
Last night, the police followed the surveillance footage and found the criminal who escaped.
He was also the pitiful person who was hit by Xie Yunzhou's assistant.
The world was really small.
When Tao Yuxuan heard this, she pondered and said, "It's really a good turn of events. I want to thank the person who hit him with a car!"
Shi Xi: "...Have some flower tea."
According to what she knew, Xie Yunzhou had given his assistant double his salary this month to soothe his injured little heart.
The person who was hit with a concussion did not wake up, and his phone was smashed into pieces. For the time being, the mastermind could not be found.
However, Shi Xi felt that Xu Ziqing was the one who did this.
Tao Yuxuan was not injured. In the morning, she underwent a physical examination and a psychological test before she was discharged from the hospital.
When Shi Xi returned to the set, she saw that Lou Ruicong's eyes were filled with joy.
"What good news?" Shi Xi asked casually.
"You and I have been trending." Lou Ruicong showed his phone screen to Shi Xi and said, "I told you that there were paparazzi following me."
Shi Xi looked at the 'Top 46' of the trending list and thought to herself, how could this be called trending?
It should at least be in the top three of to be trending, right?
"Let me see what the paparazzi have taken." Shi Xi turned on her phone and browsed the top search rankings.
#Shi Xi Lou Ruicong Tryst#
The paparazzi's topic was nothing new.
Accompanying it was an extremely blurry video. Shi Xi and Lou Ruicong could be seen having dinner together in the middle of the night.
The two of them chatted as they walked. From the video, it seemed to be somewhat intimate.
Below were the comments of Shi Xi's fans: [It's just a work gathering, there's no love! I refuse to be tied up!]
[Partner, work gathering. I hope that everyone will pay attention to Shi Xi's new drama, [Meeting You In the Depths of Time].]
[Who is this man? Why haven't I heard of him before?]
Very quickly, there were people below who introduced Lou Ruicong to the public.
In short, he was an actor with good acting skills who worked in the same company as Shi Xi.
The trending searches were not very high. The two of them were filming together, and the photos taken by the paparazzi did not prove anything. The netizens all felt that the two of them were starting to hype up the new drama.
Han Chuan and Zhu Lin did not take it to heart.
Only Lou Ruicong, who had not been on the trending searches for a long time, was very happy to see his name appear on the trending searches.
As expected, there was meat to eat with Shi Xi!
Not only did he get a free dinner, but he also got on the hot searches!
The makeup artist put makeup on Shi Xi, Shi Xi scrolled through Weibo, and saw Nan Wan's hot searches again.
#Nan Wan's 'Xianxia Fantasy' Starts#
[Xianxia Fantasy is finally starting! Looking forward to Nan Wan'er's [Xianxia Fantasy]~]
[Awww, it's good to start. The clothes and makeup are online. Nan Wan is awesome!]
[A great beauty is a fairy! I'm looking forward to Nan Wan's performance in [Xianxia Fantasy].]
Other than the fan-obsessed comments, there were also some discordant comments.
[If she's dressed in white, she's a fairy? Is this okay? She doesn't even have two hairpins in her hair. How can this be called make-up online?]
[Nan Wan looks gentle and generous, but her looks are really not exquisite enough. Fans, stop embarrassing yourself by calling her a fairy. You're making me feel awkward.]

418 White Skin, Slender Waist, And Long Legs. Can See Right Into Your Heart At a Glance
Shi Xi looked at the starting frame. Nan Wan's style was simple, and she was dressed in white. It wasn't as bad as the internet claimed, but it wasn't as good as the fans claimed.
The style of an ordinary ancient puppet couldn't reach the level of a 'fairy'.
Just as Shi Xi finished putting on her makeup, Zhu Lin came in with a bag.
Zhu Lin said excitedly, "Xi Xi, this is the dress that Chu Tang Workshop made for you. Do you want to try it on?"
Shi Xi checked her makeup and said, "Try it again tomorrow. I have to film later."
"But this dress looks so good! You can wear this for the afternoon scenes!" Zhu Lin said coquettishly.
Shi Xi was currently filming [Meeting You In the Depths of Time], a modern drama. The production team would provide clothes, but if the actors wanted to wear their own clothes, the director would not say anything.
Hence, after Shi Xi joined the production team, she would wear a set of clothes for almost every scene.
In any case, she had a lot of clothes.
"Let me see how good it looks." Seeing that Zhu Lin strongly recommended it, Shi Xi took out the clothes.
It was a purple floral long-sleeved blouse. It looked ordinary, but the cuffs and necklines were designed in the shape of petals. After cutting it by hand, it looked even more elegant. It was paired with a simple white A-line short skirt, which made people look even fairer.
Shi Xi looked at the clothes and said, "It's alright. It's just normal?"
Her clothes were all very good-looking. It wasn't any worse than this, right?
"Try it on and you'll know how good it looks!" Zhu Lin said, "Xi Xi's skin is fair and beautiful. She'll definitely look even better in this dress!"
Shi Xi listened to the compliment and happily accepted the clothes, ready to change.
The clothes that she had prepared were very simple and could not compare to this set.
After changing, everyone's eyes lit up.
Shi Xi was beautiful to begin with, but no matter how beautiful she was, after being in the same production crew for a long time, they had become immune to her beauty.
And today, when Shi Xi wore this, all of her strengths were revealed. Her skin was white, her waist was thin, and her legs were long.
Everyone's gaze could not help but follow Shi Xi.
Zhu Lin held a hair tie in her hand. It was the same purple floral hair band as Shi Xi's top. "Xi Xi, let me help you braid your hair."
Her long hair and the purple floral hair tie were twined together, forming a side twist.
Her slender neck was exposed, making her look even more charming and cute.
"So pretty!" Zhu Lin could not help but take out her phone to take a photo.
Shi Xi looked at herself in the mirror and said humbly, "It's not bad. It's just average pretty."
Lou Ruicong, who was beside her, said, "It would be great if your acting skills were as good as your looks."
Shi Xi: "..."
All the good feelings of seeing pretty clothes were extinguished by these words.
"Let's go. It's time for filming," Shi Xi said weakly.
She did not want to talk to this man outside of the show anymore.
However, during filming, a group of actors secretly recorded a short video of Shi Xi looking extremely beautiful. It was posted online.
[[Meeting You In the Depths of Time], Shi Xi's new drama. White skin, slender waist, long legs. I can see right into your heart!]
In the video, the girl was wearing a purple shirt, which made her skin look even whiter. Her shoulders and neck were straight, and her long neck was as graceful as a swan.
The braided braids on the side looked cute and elegant, and her long, slender legs were even more enviable.
With just a short video, #Shi Xi's New Drama, Meeting You In the Depths of Time#, was trending.
[Wow! What a beautiful look! Sister's modern outfit is the most beautiful!]
[Ah! Ah! Ah! I'm suddenly looking forward to this drama. Every time Sister Xi has a different outfit, it seems like I'm watching a little elf!]
[Funny, isn't this make-up better than the fairy next door?]

419 Threesome
After Shi Xi's makeup was trending on the trending searches, the trending search rankings kept going up.
One had to admit that beauty was the number one productivity factor.
And Shi Xi's makeup was always online.
The trending search had reached number one, and the passersby were all sighing with emotion.
[It was a tryst in the morning, but the styling came out in the afternoon. As expected, they started to promote the new drama.]
[That must be the case. When Nan Wan's drama started filming, Shi Xi couldn't help but want to buy the trending topic. It's not the first time these two people didn't get along.]
[Although it's a historical drama and a modern drama, it still feels like Shi Xi won.]
[It's hilarious. What low B-grade drama is Shi Xi filming? Our Nan Wan is filming a movie! How can we compare them?]
[No, Shi Xi's looks are better than Nan Wan's.]
The two fans started arguing again in the comments section.
Shi Xi's looks and makeup were overpowering, while Nan Wan's fans were using movie resources to mock Shi Xi for still acting in an online drama.
While the topic was heating up, someone found out that this dress was made by Chu Tang Workshop.
As a small clothing studio, to be able to design such a dress really made many people look at it in a new light.
Some netizens liked to buy the same clothes from celebrities, so there was a high probability that they would be right.
For a time, Chu Tang Workshop became famous.
There were even people who spoke up for Chu Tang Workshop on Weibo: [My favorite small studio has finally been seen! This is a treasure shop! The clothes are all very nice! It has a great sense of design!]
[The lady boss is called Chu Hua, she is a beautiful and kind clothing designer.]
[If you like it, you can go to the shop to support her. The other clothes are also very nice!]
The topic changed immediately.
However, Shi Xi's clothes were indeed bought from Chu Tang Workshop.
Therefore, when someone asked the source of the clothes, the names of Chu Tang Workshop and Chu Hua were frequently mentioned.
Shi Xi took some time to look at Weibo and found that the people below were all Chu Tang Workshop and Chu Hua.
"Chu Hua?" Shi Xi asked Zhu Lin with some doubt and said, "Aren't my clothes made by that something called Song Song? Why does it say that the designer is Chu Hua?"
Zhu Lin scrolled through Weibo and said, "If it's two people designing together, they're both from the same studio. If they don't care, then we don't have to care."
They were consumers and were only responsible for paying for the clothes.
Shi Xi realized that after being trended on Weibo, Chu Tang Workshop's Weibo fans had soared.
Moreover, their shop had also put up the clothes.
Even if it was only pre-sold, it had already sold 100,000+ in quantity.
Seeing so many sales, Shi Xi felt that she should ask the other party for money.
Thinking of this, Shi Xi thought of it again. These were actually the clothes that Xie Yunzhou brought her to order.
Xie Yunzhou and Chu Hua seemed to have a close relationship?
Shi Xi then sent a message to Xie Yunzhou. [You brought me to Chu Tang Workshop to buy clothes. Do you want to help Chu Tang Workshop advertise?]
Xie Yunzhou did not reply immediately. Shi Xi still had scenes to shoot, so she did not mind. She put down her phone and went back to continue filming.
After Shi Xi finished filming a few scenes, she saw Xie Yunzhou's reply when she returned.
Xie Yunzhou: [If I ask you to endorse them, how much is the endorsement fee?]
Shi Xi thought that the two of them were indeed very close. He had even asked her to endorse them.
However, the endorsement was not something that she could decide on her own.
Shi Xi replied: [If you want to endorse them, you have to tell my manager, Han Chuan, and the company needs to report it.]
This time, Xie Yunzhou replied very quickly. [Let's have dinner together as a thank-you gift for this promotion.]

420 Chu Hua Was a Very Outstanding Fashion Designer
Shi Xi thought to herself, 'This thank you gift is really light, just a meal.'
But thinking about how Xie Yunzhou treated her so many times, Shi Xi felt embarrassed again.
Speaking of which, Xie Yunzhou treated her quite well.
Xie Yunzhou also paid for this dress for her.
Shi Xi: [Okay, after I finish filming, I'll go straight to Qingshui Restaurant.]
Xie Yunzhou: [I'll pick you up.]
Shi Xi didn't quite understand. Everyone had a chauffeur, so why did Xie Yunzhou like to pick her up?
Forget it.
After Shi Xi finished her work, Xie Yunzhou came over to pick Shi Xi up.
After getting into the car, Shi Xi asked directly, "Did you deliberately bring me to Chu Tang Workshop to order clothes that day?"
Xie Yunzhou looked at Shi Xi and said frankly, "It was just a spur of the moment."
Shi Xi's eyes were filled with doubt.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Xie Yunzhou continued, "I didn't know beforehand that you would look so beautiful in Chu Tang Workshop's clothes. You even made the trending searches."
Shi Xi said, "I can make the trending searches because of my good looks."
"However, since this topic was able to reach trending one and the shop was promoted, there must be someone in the middle who is adding fuel to the fire."
"Other than you, there's only Chu Tang Workshop."
"But a small shop like Chu Tang Workshop shouldn't be able to afford the number one trending search or hire a water army, right?"
The assistant driving in front looked at Shi Xi in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but sigh with emotion at Shi Xi's analytical ability.
Shi Xi's words were not far from the truth.
At that time, after Shi Xi wore Chu Tang Workshop's clothes and went on the trending search, Xie Yunzhou had his assistant buy the number one trending search and find a water army to promote Chu Tang Workshop's reputation.
Including the sales of 100,000 units of the clothes, 50,000 units were the numbers that they had compiled.
However, selling 50,000 units was still a very beautiful number.
Xie Yunzhou did not defend himself. He changed the topic and said, "You look very beautiful in that set of clothes."
Shi Xi: "That's because I look good!"
Xie Yunzhou: ...Shi Xi was right. He could not refute.
His phone vibrated, and Xie Yunzhou picked it up to take a look.
It was a call from Chu Hua.
Shi Xi was sitting next to Xie Yunzhou, and she immediately saw the note that he had given to his phone. She turned her head and waited for Xie Yunzhou to pick up the call.
Xie Yunzhou picked up the call.
Chu Hua called Xie Yunzhou, and her tone was filled with excitement. "Today, Chu Tang Workshop is trending, and the sales of all the clothes in the shop have soared. I want to treat you to a meal, and thank you for introducing Shi Xi to customize the clothes back then."
Xie Yunzhou immediately refused. "Now is the time for your shop to be busy. You can go ahead first."
Chu Hua said, "It's because of you that the shop has such good results. So, I must treat you to a meal first. You can't refuse."
Xie Yunzhou said indifferently, "I already have an appointment tonight."
Chu Hua was a little disappointed and said, "Alright then. Are you free tomorrow?"
Xie Yunzhou knew that he wouldn't be able to escape this meal, so he said, "I'm going to Qingshui Restaurant with Shi Xi tonight. Do you want to come along?"
Hearing this, Shi Xi and Chu Hua were both stunned.
However, they were both adults, so Chu Hua quickly agreed. "Then I'll bring a few more clothes over and give them to Miss Shi."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Yunzhou said to Shi Xi, "Chu Hua is a very outstanding fashion designer. You can work with her."
Shi Xi leaned against the car seat and said weakly, "If it's about endorsements and promotions, it's better to look for my assistant or manager."
After all, Zhu Lin helped her pick out most of the clothes.
Moreover, Shi Xi didn't like to interact with strangers. She usually bought them directly and didn't need to go through so much trouble.
