After leaving the dance floor, Shi Xi prepared to find a place to eat.

She hadn't eaten anything all night, except for a few strawberry puddings in the afternoon, and now her stomach was growling with hunger.

Ke Shixi was so famous in Fengcheng's socialite circle that many girls would come up to chat with her.

Shi Xi had no choice but to give perfunctory answers to each one.

Finally, there was no one around.

Shi Xi picked up a Portuguese egg tart and was about to take a bite when it was snatched from her hand.

Shi Xi: ?!

Han Chuan snatched the egg tart from her hand and said coldly, "You're almost as fat as a pig, and you're still eating such high-calorie desserts?"

"Where am I fat?!" Shi Xi touched her flat stomach. "Look, it's all flat."

"Aren't your arms fleshy? Aren't your legs fleshy? Isn't your face fleshy?" Han Chuan ate the egg tart he had snatched and said, "I'll eat an apple and two lettuce leaves at most tonight."

Shi Xi was indignant and clenched her fists, wanting to fight back.

Han Chuan said, "Or do you want the audience to complain that the female supporting character is getting fatter and fatter after 'Domineering Love' is released, and she can't even fit on the screen anymore?"

Shi Xi was speechless and choked with emotion, holding back her tears.

She observed on set that the other actors ate very little, just to look better on camera.

Some actors are so thin in real life that they look unrecognizable, but they still look fat on camera and are criticized by netizens time and time again.

Shi Xi doesn't like apples, so all she can do right now is look longingly at her beloved strawberry pudding.

That's so pitiful.

Just as Shi Xi was eagerly waiting, Tao Yuxuan's arrogant and domineering voice rang out from the other side.

"Oh? You can't play the piano? I'm so sorry, it's a required course for us. I thought you could play too." Tao Yuxuan apologized, but there was no apology in her tone. Instead, she became even more arrogant. "Then what instrument can you play? The suona?"

Shi Xi listened from afar, thinking to herself, "Let me play the suona for you."

I'll just send you away directly, so the female lead won't have to intervene.

Tao Yuxuan started the trouble too quickly. Shi Xi heard it but didn't have time to stop her. She could only resign herself to her fate and walk over, hoping that she could at least get Tao Yuxuan a proper burial.

"Do you have a guzheng?" Ning Yu asked calmly.

"Oh? You play the guzheng?" Tao Yuxuan's voice rose at the end as she smiled, "Perfect timing, the Shi family has a guzheng, how about I ask you to play a piece?"

Ning Yu really can play the guzheng.

Shi Xi stepped forward; the guzheng had already been brought over.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ning Yu naturally couldn't fake it, so she sat down in front of the guzheng and tested the sound.

The pitches are all correct.

Ning Yu pressed down on the strings, plucking and strumming, and the music was slow, quiet, and serene.

The guests fell silent, all immersed in the soothing music.

Shi Xi looked at Tao Yuxuan, whose lips curled slightly, her eyes filled with confident disdain.

Oh, that's terrible.

Shi Xi stopped visiting Tao Yuxuan, fearing the child would be too deeply affected by the blow.

Tao Yuxuan slightly raised her chin, waiting for her voice to crack.

She knew Ning Yu could play the guzheng, so she deliberately provoked Ning Yu to play the instrument.

But she'd already tampered with that guzheng! You wouldn't notice during the sound check; you'd only discover it halfway through playing…

Halfway through the piece, Ning Yu discovered that one of the strings in the middle was playing the wrong note!

Her eyes quickly swept across the strings, and she immediately realized that the problem was not with the strings, but with the bridges being unstable!

They really went to great lengths to target her!

Ning Yu's expression remained unchanged as she pressed down on the strings and continued playing.

The music flowed out perfectly and smoothly, without a single flaw.

As the last note faded, everyone applauded.

"I didn't expect Miss Ning to play the guzheng so well."

"It is like hearing celestial music, which temporarily clears the ears."

"That's really amazing!"

Tao Yuxuan's smile vanished, and she stood there blankly.
