Xi Xinxin picked up the necklace, which must have fallen off while she was playing. This necklace was always worn by Chu Quanyi.
The necklace has a gemstone-like shape in the middle. Xi Xinxin had never looked at the necklace closely before, but she noticed a not-so-obvious gap.
It looks like it can be opened. There must be something inside.
Xi Xinxin fumbled for a moment and opened it. The photo inside was of her profile. The background was a bit blurry, but you could still tell it was taken during their university years. It was a photo of her expressionless face.
Xi Xinxin touched her face, wondering when Chu Quanyi had taken the photo, since she always smiled when interacting with people. And why was this photo posted here?
The photo is a bit yellowed, so it looks like it's been sitting there for a long time.
I'll return it to her tomorrow. Xi Xinxin put the necklace on the bedside table. Leaning against the bed, she shielded her eyes with her arm. It seems Chu Quanyi is serious.
Xi Xinxin thought that she couldn't give an answer now; she'd wait until she returned to the real world. She'd deal with these feelings back in the real world.
Zhouzhou's best friend is Mu Xiaoxue. Xixi and Xinxin are also friends. So she goes to the shop every two or three days. At first, she took a taxi, but after it happened so often, her mother asked her to learn how to ride an electric scooter.
So Zhouzhou embarrassed herself in front of the neighbors and finally learned how to ride an electric scooter. Now she just drifts and stops, parking steadily at the door.
Xi Xinxin had already taught Mei Qing and Zhang Suxiang most of the lessons this morning. She hadn't seen Chu Quanyi yet, and was thinking about how she'd promised to teach her for ten days.
Hearing the noise, she looked up. Seeing Zhou Zhou, she blurted out, "Where's Quan Yi? Why hasn't he come yet?"
I put my hand in my pocket to make sure the necklace wasn't left in the room.
Zhou Zhou recalled, "I saw Sister Chu Quanyi when I drove over. I even chatted with her for a while. She said she wanted to exercise. But I overslept this morning, so I'm only starting to exercise now. I should be running over soon."
The wind chimes rang. Chu Quanyi walked in, covered in sweat. He immediately grabbed a large glass of water and started gulping it down: "This is my total exercise for a year."
Then he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Xi Xinxin got up anxiously. The system's voice sounded (Does the main program not exercise at all in reality? It seems like it ran for a long time today. Its real body didn't have time to react and probably crashed temporarily. It's okay, host. She'll wake up after resting.)
Xi Xinxin: "..." That's outrageous.
Holding Chu Quanyi in her arms, and seeing the worried looks from the others, Xi Xinxin said, "It's alright. Everyone, continue with your own things. This is Chu Quanyi's special constitution!"
They said it as if it were the truth.
Just as the system had predicted, Chu Quanyi woke up once her body temperature had cooled down. Her first words upon opening her eyes were, "That's my total exercise for a year!"
Seeing himself lying on the chair, Chu Quanyi asked, somewhat puzzled, "Didn't I just arrive at the store?"
Xi Xinxin tossed the necklace to her, explained the whole story, and then said, "Add one more day and you'll teach Zhang Suxiang for me."
Chu Quanyi pouted as she looked at the necklace in her hand: "You must have opened it and looked at it, right?"
Xi Xinxin did not deny it: "I'm more curious about when you took this picture?"
During university, Xi Xinxin skipped grades very quickly. She was rarely seen at the beginning of the entire arts program; we mostly only heard about her from others. People said Xi Xinxin was truly a lucky girl, incredibly intelligent in everything she learned.
Not a single person around her has a bad word to say about her; they all praise her character and how friendly she is.
At first, we were in the same grade. Now, she's my senior.
That day, the photography club held an event where everyone was asked to rate their own photographs.
Chu Quanyi happened to be passing by, but immediately spotted Xi Xinxin in the crowd.
A female student was pestering her.
"Senior! I've actually admired you for a long time. What do you think of this photo of mine? Could it win an award?"
Xi Xinxin carefully examined the composition and said, "Actually, I don't know much about composition. But I think it might be better if you move the camera up a little higher."
The junior student didn't hear the first half of the sentence at all. She turned around and went to reshoot because she trusted Xi Xinxin too much.
Chu Quanyi also wanted to go up and talk to him, but she couldn't find an opportunity.
She had a friend who was in the photography club. Chu Quanyi borrowed a video camera and casually took a picture. She also planned to ask her a question, just like the first junior student did.
Xi Xinxin walked quickly as the crowd thinned out. Her smile vanished instantly. No one noticed, except for Chu Quanyi, who had been following her.
At that time, I had a lot of thoughts. I felt that Xi Xinxin was a fake person, but upon closer reflection, it was quite impressive that she could pretend like that.
Her hands moved faster than her brain. She immediately captured the moment on camera.
"Yiyi? What are you still doing here? Let's go back to the dorm. Give me back the camera."
"Actually, I just took some photos and I'd like to get them developed. Can I borrow them for a bit? I'll go get them developed now."
"Of course you can go."
There was a photo developing shop nearby. Chu Quanyi went inside.
There was a photography event today, and it was very crowded. The boss couldn't keep an eye on Chu Quanyi for the time being.
Chu Quanyi waited outside for a while. The number of people kept increasing. Not wanting to squeeze into the small shop, she walked around outside.
"Senior, you skipped a grade? Isn't that too fast? I haven't even lived with you for a few days yet, and I really miss you."
Xi Xinxin, carrying a backpack, said, "Actually, if things go smoothly, I'd like to start working sooner rather than later."
"So what do you want to do?"
Xi Xinxin stared at the glass window in front of her for a while: "Doctor. After all, that's what I studied. There should be a nearby hospital."
The two chatted as they walked.
Chu Quanyi stepped forward and turned her head. Xi Xinxin had just seen the necklace through the glass window.
"Boss, how much is this necklace?"
"Three hundred, this is pure silver. The green color in the middle is also of very good quality. And look, there's a small space inside."
"Then I'll take it."
Chu Quanyi returned to the photo shop: "Hello. Can you print such small photos?"
The next day, Chu Quanyi wore a necklace and circled around Xi Xinxin, puffing out his chest and showing off his neck.
"It looks great. It suits you perfectly." Xi Xinxin rested her head on her hand, her eyes filled with laughter.
"Who asked you that!" Chu Quanyi obediently returned to his seat.
“Back then, I thought you liked this necklace and wanted to buy it so you could ask me about it. But you complimented me.” Chu Quanyi picked up the necklace in her hand.
Xi Xinxin chuckled: "Actually, I was just staring at a spot in a daze for a while."
"Let me put it on for you this time." Xi Xinxin walked behind her and squatted down slightly. She gently placed her hand on her neck.
The necklace was fastened again.
Coming down from the third floor, Chu Quanyi was in an exceptionally good mood: "Mei Qing, Zhang Suxiang, come on! I'll teach you this afternoon."
Zhou Zhou was playing games downstairs. A pop-up window appeared: New rising starlet. Could Xu Chacha be selected?
Clicking on it leads to Xu Chacha's new TV series, which is currently being filmed. This series is being broadcast while it's being filmed.
"Honey, do you want to watch Cha Cha's TV series?"
Since she had nothing to do in the afternoon, Xi Xinxin invited Zhou Zhou to come to the third floor to watch together.
Turn on the projector. Turn off the lights. Get your snacks ready, and the TV show is on!
To be honest, it feels a bit awkward to have someone I know act in a TV series. Because I know her personality well. It's quite unusual for her character to be completely different in a TV drama.
Mo Chen is very good at choosing scripts. The beginnings he gave Xu Chacha were never the typical naive and sweet idol drama type.
This time it's a crime drama. Xu Chacha plays the deceased's friend, a crucial role throughout the entire series.
Xu Chacha's acting was surprisingly good. She quickly lost any sense of incongruity, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the character.
This drama is being filmed and broadcast simultaneously. Only two episodes have been released so far. In these two episodes, Xu Chacha seems to be playing a villain. Many extreme netizens have already started criticizing her.
There's also no shortage of viewers who use their brains: "Are you crazy? It's not even finished filming yet!"
Please don't generalize from the character to the actor, I'm speechless.
Compared to her first TV series, Xu Chacha now has a large number of fans.
Xi Xinxin was even more amazed; Xu Chacha had really changed a lot. After watching the show with Zhou Zhou, they decided to go downstairs.
"I'm sorry, but we don't accept advertisers who don't have alcohol products listed on our shelves." Gu Bei was negotiating with the man in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
Xi Xinxin walked up to the man and said, "Hello. I'm the owner of this shop. You can tell me if there's anything I can help you with."
The man, dressed in a suit, adjusted his glasses and pulled out a promotional poster: "Here's the thing. May I put up a poster featuring our wines on your second floor?"
Xi Xinxin looked at the description of the wine in the poster. It must be a newly launched wine: "Then we should at least try it."
The man was delighted: "Then please wait a moment. I'll go get the wine for you to try right now."
Actually, the wine was right next to him. Xi Xinxin took three glasses and asked him to pour some wine into them.
The man explained that he had always wanted to make wine, and had even leased a factory. He had already started brewing.
However, sales remained sluggish, so they decided to advertise in nearby bars.
First, I found the store called Xi Xinxin.
Xi Xinxin gave the other two cups to Gu Bei and Gu Nan, so they could taste them.
"If all three of us think it's okay, then I'll agree to your advertising, including buying your liquor to mix drinks."
The man thanked him several times, but the key to the meal still lay with the three of them. His heart was pounding with nervousness.
He could also find other bars to advertise with. But the outcome of the first round is really important for his mindset to continue.
Xi Xinxin took a bite and put it down.
The man's heart was in his throat. Gu Bei thought it was alright: "The taste isn't outstanding, but it has a unique flavor. The alcohol content isn't great, but the flavor is rich, so it should become popular among young people."
The two of them turned their attention to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan shook his head: "I don't like it."
The man's heart sank instantly. He took back his flyer and prepared to leave.
Gu Nan called out to the man, "I like strong liquor, but in our bar, we mainly listen to the boss."
Xi Xinxin put down her wine glass. The man saw that she had only taken a small sip from beginning to end, and he knew there was no hope.
"Sure. Let's do a promotion. You guys work on mixing this kind of drink and offer it as a special new product for customers to try."
The man couldn't believe his ears: "Just call me Xiao Xie, boss. I'll go get the wine right now."
Later, to increase publicity, and because it was the first company that gave him enough courage, Xiao Xie went to other places to continue his promotion.
In order to attract customers to the new product as soon as possible, Xi Xinxin also came to the bar: "Zhou Zhou, let me show you what I'm capable of."
Xi Xinxin hadn't mixed drinks in a long time. She wanted to see if her skills had gotten rusty.
I gathered a few basic ingredients. I used a tool to cut out a perfectly round ice cube and put it in the glass.
Then pour in some basic ingredients, followed by the bottle of liquor. Start stirring. Finally, add the mint.
Xi Xinxin took a sip, her expression unchanged: "It tastes a bit awful..."
Zhou Zhou covered his mouth: "My wife is amazing. She can make something that tastes terrible with such fancy moves."
Gu Bei: "..." Don't love too much.
After some discussion, the group finally came up with a few suitable recipes. The taste was truly delicious.
Xi Xinxin stretched and said, "You've worked hard today. You guys go back first. I'll close the shop tonight."
The bar staff cheered and started packing their luggage to go home.
The guests gradually dwindled to just a few. The band that had been performing also went home.
One of the customers noticed that there was only one woman at the bar, and the security guards had all gone home. A wicked thought began to form in his mind.
He whispered to the guy next to him, "Sigh. There's only one person left today."
His colleague next to him tugged at his sleeve: "You don't come here often. Do you know who this is? The boss."
"What's wrong with the boss?" the man said loudly. Xi Xinxin heard him clearly.
His brother felt embarrassed and wanted to tell him secretly. But the man wouldn't listen, let go of his brother's hand, went straight to the bar, and whistled at Xi Xinxin: "Beautiful lady, why are you alone today?"
Xi Xinxin ignored the man and continued cleaning the bar.
Feeling humiliated, the man started banging on the bar: "Hey! Didn't you hear me?!"
After saying that, he tried to grab it.
His brother came up and pulled the man away, saying, "Stop messing around. This boss is very strong."
But the man refused to believe him. He shook off his brother's hand and grabbed Xi Xinxin's wrist: "Hey, what kind of boss are you? Come work for me."
Xi Xinxin grabbed the man's wrist with her other hand and twisted it.
A piercing scream immediately rang out.
"ah--"
It looked like a dislocated shoulder. His brother couldn't bear to look and pulled the man over, saying, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, this guy didn't mean it, I'm so sorry."
The remaining few people sighed a few times and then left.
"This person doesn't even think about it. Why didn't the security guards leave when other people were here? But today, when her boss was here, the security guards left. I've never seen the boss's strength before."
"It has to be the owner of this shop. He's really something."
"It's said that those security guards were originally just petty thugs. They were all won over by the boss."
“I used to be from this street, wow, what a scene. A dozen of them.”
"What? You were there? Tell me quickly, tell me the details."
