During this period, Nanxun often went out early and came back late, making it very difficult for Zhu Zhu to see him.
Although Nan Xun was like this when they first got married, Zhu Zhu clearly felt that Nan Xun was deliberately avoiding her during this period.
When she was alone, Zhu Zhu would watch Xue Li'er's program, intentionally or unintentionally. Unexpectedly, in just one month, Xue Li'er jumped from being the host of the Southern News midday news to the leading actress of the prime-time evening news.
Zhu Zhu didn't believe that all this happened so quickly without Nan Xun's instructions.
"Zhu Zhu!" Shen Yihan called Zhu Zhu, "Jay Chou is coming to Nanyu Media tomorrow to give us an exclusive interview! You're a die-hard fan, aren't you? Do you want to come and see it?"
Zhu Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly wanted to go. Not because she could see her idol, but because she might even see Xue Li'er.
Zhu Zhu didn't know what was wrong with her, but she just wanted to see her. She wanted to see if Xue Li'er was really as good as Shen Yihuan said. There was always a trace of malice in her heart, thinking that things that were too perfect were all illusions. Zhu Zhu wanted to use her own eyes to uncover this illusion.

The next day, Zhu Zhu woke up early. She picked out her clothes, put on makeup, and styled her hair. A voice in her heart kept telling her not to lose to Xue Li'er.
When everything was almost ready, Zhu Zhu stared at the person in the mirror in a trance.
who is she?
Exquisite makeup, a very feminine dress, and long hair curled and draped over her shoulders.
This is not me!
Zhu Zhu suddenly came to her senses. The person in the mirror looked exactly like Xue Li'er from a knockoff film. Ever since she knew Xue Li'er was Nan Xun's first love, Zhu Zhu seemed to have lost herself, always imitating her intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed that if she could only resemble her, Nan Xun would look at her more.
Rushing into the bathroom, Zhu Zhu washed herself from head to toe, retrieved her old clothes and put them on casually.
She is Zhu Zhu. She is no substitute for anyone. Even if Nan Xun never looks at her again, she will just be herself.
…
It was still early when Zhu Zhu arrived at Nanyu Media, so she went to Chen Yihuan's office to sit for a while.
"Oh my god." Shen Yihuan was a little surprised to see Zhu Zhu. "It's only been a few days since we last met. How did you lose so much weight? Tell me how you did it. Don't just focus on your own beauty. Share it with others."
After hearing what Shen Yihuan said, Zhu Zhu took out a mirror and looked at her face. She was thinner and more haggard.
"By the way. Is Xue Li'er here?" Zhu Zhu carefully asked Shen Yihan about Xue Li'er's news.
"Yes." Chen Yihuan said, "She's become very popular recently. She appears in almost all of Nanyu's important programs. I heard rumors that there is someone behind her..."
Zhu Zhu's heart skipped a beat; her guess was indeed correct.
"By the way," Chen Yihuan said, "Is Nan Yu busy lately? I see Young Master Nan coming here every few days, and he always participates in the discussion sessions for Xue Li'er's program. Sometimes he's still there until midnight. He even treats everyone to a midnight snack after the event."
It turned out that Nan Xun had really been accompanying Xue Lier during this period.
"He... just came for a meeting? Is there anything else?" Zhu Zhu asked.
"Anything else?" Shen Yihan frowned. "It seems there's nothing else. Oh, I heard that Li'er and Nan Shao are college alumni. They even attended a class reunion in the capital together a few days ago."
