Xi Dai came out of her room looking for Xi Xinxin, only to run into her on her way back from her morning run. They greeted each other and then knocked on Yu Shuwen's door. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response.
Xi Dai was a little flustered. After all, she was the one who brought the person out; what if something happened? So she kept ringing the doorbell.
The door opened, and Yu Shuwen, looking like she hadn't woken up yet, grabbed a couple of handfuls of her messy hair and started talking without even looking at who was in front of her: "Don't you know how to sleep this early in the morning? Who is it this early in the morning? If you can't control yourself, go cut it off!"
Then the door slammed shut with a loud bang.
Xi Xinxin: "!!!" No!? Wasn't she a gentle and quiet girl?
The system finally spoke up (don't you even think about the unpleasantness of who was looking for the female lead for Xi Dai later in the novel?).
The scene shifts to Yu Shuwen's room. Dressed neatly, she kneels on the floor, on the verge of tears, clinging to Xi Xinxin's leg without a care for her image: "Ahhh, I'm so sorry, waaaaaah, I'm a bit grumpy in the morning. Waaaaah, I usually sleep until noon or late afternoon on my days off, waaaaah..."
Xi Dai had never seen Yu Shuwen like this before, and tried to pry her hands off Xi Xinxin. But Yu Shuwen immediately let go, grabbed Xi Dai's leg, and continued crying, "Please, please forgive me! I really have elderly parents and young children to support. I've been married for so many years, but I have this bad habit of being grumpy in the morning. I'll change, I'll change! I only have myself left in my family!"
Xi Dai: "..." Her normal perception of Yu Shuwen has been shattered. Is she really awake now?
The farce ended with Xu Chacha bringing in breakfast.
Yu Shuwen seemed to have finally come to her senses and sat quietly eating. Xu Chacha was surprised that she wasn't picking on her today.
On the first day, they decided to split up. Xu Chacha would study in her room. Yu Shuwen planned to visit a jewelry store. Xi Dai, on the other hand, was going to some museums.
So what should she do? Nothing is pushing her forward, so what should she do? Xi Xinxin couldn't think of anything. Perhaps going out for a walk would help her figure out what to do.
It's been so long since I've strolled the streets alone. I have to say, everything is incredibly realistic; this kind of technology could be used in games—it would definitely be a huge money-maker! Stopping by the roadside to watch the advertisements playing on the mall's giant screen, Xi Xinxin thought, "These things could definitely…make a fortune!"
System (Host, you're so vulgar)
"This is what illiteracy looks like."
(………)
Stop at red lights, go at green lights. After passing several intersections, Xi Xinxin felt incredibly bored. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a jewelry store and thought that Yu Shuwen was going to visit it, so perhaps she could run into him. Xi Xinxin then headed in that direction.
Perhaps it was fate or something. Yu Shuwen was indeed there. She was having an intense discussion with someone. When Yu Shuwen noticed Xi Xinxin, Xi Xinxin had already finished a glass of water given to her by the shop assistant.
"Xinxin, what brings you here?"
"I don't know what you were talking about just now. What were you discussing?"
Yu Shuwen led Xi Xinxin to the display case, inside which was a small gift box. In the center of the box was a crystal-clear bracelet. It was so white that it was almost transparent, yet it seemed to shimmer and sparkle, with silver patterns that appeared to float in the air.
Yu Shuwen proudly stated that this was her mother's design. This store is one of their family's chain stores, and she had just been discussing the recent situation with the store manager.
"My family background isn't as good as Xi Dai's, my studies aren't as good as Xu Chacha's, and my personality isn't particularly outstanding, but when it comes to design, I want to be better than everyone else!"
Yu Shuwen was actually somewhat insecure. But when describing her favorite designs, the light in her eyes was more beautiful than any jewelry. Is this what it feels like to do what you love?
Xi Xinxin stepped forward, took her hand, and whispered, "I believe in you. The designs you make in the future will definitely be top-notch."
Everyone needs encouragement and confidence during their growth. Xi Xinxin was eager to see how far this girl would grow. She was content with her life, which was being pushed along, but did she like it? What kind of things did she enjoy doing? Xi Xinxin shook her head. Her life was happy enough; how could she ask for more?
"And Xinxin, what about you? What kind of designs do you and Xidai like?"
Faced with Yu Shuwen's question, Xi Xinxin looked at the magical bracelet inside the box again: "Perhaps it's also a beautiful style like this."
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, the three of them were sitting in the monitoring room.
Actually, she had accompanied Xu Chacha to the exam site. Xi Dai had used her connections to allow them to observe the exam from the monitoring room. Xi Xinxin had never watched someone else take an exam like this before. She felt a little excited, as if she were the chief examiner. However, after a while, she noticed something was wrong. The person in front of Xu Chacha seemed to be doing the questions, but it was obvious they were just pretending to write and draw. She instantly remembered.
In the story, Xu Chacha fails all her competitions in City B. Her excuse to the school is health issues, since these aren't school exams. The school hasn't revoked the various benefits she receives. However, since she's still affiliated with the school, it still has a significant impact if word gets out.
He was clearly first in school? How could he do this in the exam? Could he have cheated?
So, a leader did warn Xu Chacha, saying that next time, if there's no guarantee of success, it's better to cancel. This incident is also a scene where the female lead slaps Xu Chacha in the face. But why? After learning from Xu Chacha for so many days, Xi Xinxin knew her abilities very well. Her intuition told her that this matter must be related to the person before her.
But why?
Time was running out. Just as the papers were being handed in, the person in front of her switched papers with Xu Chacha. Xi Xinxin subconsciously turned to look at Xi Dai and Yu Shuwen. It was obvious. Their expressions indicated that they had noticed as well.
Xi Dai clicked her tongue: "I know that man. He's the young master of the Wu family. They used to mock my parents for only having one daughter and how she could inherit the family business. My parents cut off all contact with them afterward. I never expected their child to be so capable."
"You, come here for a moment," Xi Dai said, pointing directly at a staff member. She then reviewed the security footage: "See? Do you know how to handle this?"
The staff member wiped the sweat from his brow, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xi Dai frowned. She didn't have a deep relationship with Xu Chacha. But after so many days of learning, she felt she shouldn't have received this result! Excellent people deserve to be rewarded!
"Dawdling and dawdling?! What kind of behavior is that?"
The staff member, looking like he had made up his mind, said, "Actually, that young master said not to get involved in anything he does. Otherwise, none of us can work, and we won't be able to make a living in the future. So, we..."
The staff were betting that Xi Dai's status was higher. Very well. She bet correctly.
Xi Dai was just a minor. Her first reaction to hearing such words was incomprehension. She couldn't accept it. She felt that rules shouldn't be broken. She couldn't solve the problem; she only dealt with things, not human relationships. She was in a high position; she couldn't see what was below.
Xi Xinxin couldn't help but pat Xi Dai's head, looking at her puzzled eyes, and put on her standard smile, saying, "If anything happens, come to the Xi family. This is my phone number. Cheating should be dealt with, do you understand? If you cover it up, you will also be dealt with by me."
The staff member took the paper with the phone number written on it and nodded repeatedly. The girl's demeanor suddenly became terrifying.
(Host... thinking about it this way, Xu Chacha in the original book had nothing.)
But now she has it. There are many people in the world who are enduring injustice, so everyone wants to climb up the social ladder.
(What if you're just an ordinary person?)
