"elder sister?"

Yin Qi's concerned inquiry brought Yin Lan back to her senses.

"Sis, you've seemed restless ever since you came back from the hospital. Did something happen?"

Yin Qi tilted his head and asked in confusion.

“It’s a friend of mine.” Yin Lan’s gaze fell on the big tree in the center of the courtyard. “Her life is coming to an end, so I went to ask her if she would like to become like us.”

Yin Qi understood: "No wonder my sister left in such a hurry with that extra piece of shard; it turns out she was trying to save her. Where is she now?"

Yin Lan gave a self-deprecating laugh: "She refused."

It's quite ironic, really. She clearly knew it was a curse, yet she still eagerly dragged others down with her...

Looking back now, she was probably crazy.

Yin Lan felt a sense of disgust towards herself.

Yin Qi pursed her lips, her voice softening slightly: "It's okay, sister. Their lives are just that short. I'll be with you from now on. In the days to come, we can meet many more new friends—"

As long as she makes enough new friends, she'll surely forget all the unpleasantness and the troubles caused by that old friend, right?

"She's still a child who loves to compete for attention..."

Yin Lan sighed helplessly, thinking to herself.

The siblings were lost in their own thoughts, and the space suddenly fell silent—

"Click!"

Yan Shaohan watched the clip and finally smiled: "It's a wrap! It's exactly the effect I wanted!"

Upon hearing Yan Shaohan's words, everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally over!

Xiao He rubbed the slightly numb muscles on his face and thanked Guo Xinya, who was acting opposite him: "Sister Xinya, you've worked hard. I'm sorry to trouble you to suffer with me."

"It doesn't matter."

Guo Xinya smiled and waved her hand, "Your acting skills have improved a lot. You actually grasped Director Yan's meaning so quickly."

"It wasn't me, it's mainly thanks to Teacher Gao's guidance," Xiao He explained with a smile. "Without her guidance, I'm afraid I would have gotten myself into a dead end."

"Oh, I see. Teacher Gao is indeed very talented. I've sat in on a few of her performances before—"

Guo Xinya said with a sigh, then suddenly remembered something and asked Xiao He, "By the way, how is your friend?"

Xiao He was taken aback, somewhat confused: "What friend?"

Guo Xinya: "It's the friend you mentioned before who wanted to lose weight."

"Ah, oh, him... Ever since Ke Mingen's affair was exposed, he's given up on that idea and has been honestly focusing on losing weight healthily." Xiao He didn't expect that Guo Xinya would still remember the lie he casually told back then, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I see. Natural weight loss is good. We shouldn't get involved in complicated methods in the future; after all, medicine has side effects."

Guo Xinya sighed deeply.

"What happened? Is it that friend of Sister Xinya who was involved in Ke Ming'en's matter?" Xiao He asked tentatively.

The Comingon scandal was quite a hot topic a while ago, but the buzz has gradually died down recently. Fortunately, the authorities have intervened and are investigating, and the entire Comingon is now under investigation, including its behind-the-scenes boss, Chen Cong, who has been taken away for questioning.

It seems only a matter of time before we uncover more secrets under this pretext...
