After the news spread online, Shi Xi received a call from Shi Xu.

And it was a video call.

"Are you alright?" Shi Xu asked.

"Uh, the allergic reaction was very mild, and I'm fine after taking the medicine." Shi Xi cupped her face in her hands. "Look, my face is fine now."

Timeline: "So, it really is an allergic reaction?"

Shi Xi nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Shi Xu frowned slightly, his eyes showing some displeasure.

"It's just a small matter, so I didn't want to tell you and make you worry," Shi Xi said. "Your parents don't know, right?"

"Still trying to hide it from me?" Shi's mother couldn't hold back any longer. She snatched the phone and nagged, "I told you not to go into the entertainment industry, but you wouldn't listen. Do you have to wait until you've hit a brick wall before you regret it? Isn't it better to focus on your studies? How much money can you make in the entertainment industry? What will you do in the future…"

Shi Xi interrupted, "Mom, is this scarf new? It's so pretty."

Shi's mother tugged at the new silk scarf around her neck and said, "It was custom-made. I drew the design myself!"

"No wonder it looks so good, Mom is amazing." Shi Xi coaxed her mother in just a few words.

Shi Xu listened from the side, feeling rather helpless.

Didn't we agree that I would call and persuade my sister to come home?

Why did they surrender so quickly?

"Oh right, it's getting colder now. Remember to wear the scarf I knitted for you!" Shi Xi added.

Shi Xu calmly replied, "I'm not that cold."

Shi Xi: "I'm just reminding you."

Timeline: I would rather freeze to death in this icy and snowy place than wear the scarf woven by Shi Xi.

After chatting with the two for a while, Shi Xi dispelled their concerns and won them the opportunity to continue their careers in the entertainment industry.

"Then you should rest well and not overwork yourself. I watched the show you were on, and Xixi is really excellent! She's especially photogenic!" Mother Shi looked at her daughter with eyes full of affection.

"Don't worry, I can definitely take care of myself," Shi Xi said. "Besides, my brother found me an assistant and a bodyguard, so nothing will happen."

Shi's mother said with satisfaction, "If there's anything else you need, just tell me."

Shi Xi: "Okay~ Goodnight, Mom~"

After hanging up the phone, Shi Xu asked, "Mom, do you remember why you made that call?"

Shi's mother's mind went blank for a moment, and she hesitated before asking, "How has Xixi been lately?"

Time is silent.

The original intention was to persuade Shi Xi to leave the entertainment industry.

"Yes, she seems to be doing quite well lately." Shi Xu put away his phone and said to his mother, "Get some rest."

Shi's mother smoothed out her silk scarf and came back to her senses, saying, "I'll buy Xixi a silk scarf next time too."

After comforting her family, Shi Xi then dealt with a group of her friends.

It wasn't until her friends in the entertainment industry asked her that Shi Xi realized she had added a lot of friends.

So she could only post a selfie on her WeChat Moments with the caption: "Goodnight, world."

I'm not sick.

Shi Xi simply ignored any other attempts to get closer to her.

Simplify social interactions.

Shi Xi felt that she was already a qualified big shot, and she had even started to stop replying to other people's messages.

After putting down her phone, Shi Xi slept soundly.

There was absolutely no guilt about not replying to the messages.

Upon hearing the phone ring, Shi Xi sat up instantly.

This was the ringtone she set specifically for Xie Yunzhou.

Why is it making a sound?

Has she offended Xie Yunzhou recently?

No.

Have you been looking into Ning Yu's matter lately?

No.

Shi Xi quickly thought through the options before answering the phone, "Good evening?"
