Chapter 47 Idol dramas don’t shoot this kind of plot anymore
Chen Li was surprised and happy, staring at the text message without blinking.
288 yuan!
She had imagined that she would be able to make her first pot of gold in life after getting her first role, but she never thought that she could make so much.
Even though I already knew how much I would be paid when I signed the contract, it still felt unreal when I actually received the money.
"Sister, 288 yuan, I never dreamed that I could make so much money from my first movie." Chen Li murmured in a tearful tone.
Shen Ci touched her sister's head lovingly and said softly, "You will only earn more than this in the future."
Chen Li nodded excitedly, looked up at her sister, and spoke with emotion: "Sister, although I have long known that being an actor can make a lot of money, my original intention of choosing to be an actor was really not for money. I really like acting."
"Sister knows." Shen Ci said affirmatively: "Not only does sister know, but mother also knows, that's why she supports you so much in taking the art exam."
Suddenly hearing the word "mother" from her sister's mouth, Shen Li was obviously stunned.
After seeing her sister again, she deliberately kept silent about her mother, but she didn't expect her sister to bring it up first without changing her expression.
Chen Li pursed her lips and lowered her head, then whispered, "It's very expensive to take the art exam and become an art student. Mom had to sacrifice your choice for Xingxing and me. Mom actually blames herself a lot."
"I'm sorry, sister. We are the ones who have dragged you down."
Hearing her sister say this, Shen Ci's heart ached again. She quickly put her arm around her sister's shoulders and said, "Don't say that. It's not easy for Mom to raise the three of us to grow up and become successful. I was too willful at the time. If my compromise can give you and Xingxing a better future, I am willing to do so, really."
As he spoke, Shen Ci smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "And now I think HKUST is also very good."
"Really, sister? You don't blame mom anymore?" Chen Li looked at her sister, her eyes full of excitement.
The knot between her sister and her mother has always been the knot between her and Xingxing. She really hopes that her sister can forgive her mother for being forced to do so.
Shen Ci nodded vigorously, and said sincerely and forcefully: "I no longer blame her."
At this moment, Chen Li cried with joy and hugged her sister tightly, because not only her mother, but she herself also felt guilty towards her sister.
Chen Ci smiled softly, gently rubbed her sister's back, and said, "I plan to go back to Shenzhen and Hong Kong during the National Day holiday."
"Really?" Chen Li looked up in surprise, then revealed a look of regret: "But I have to join the crew before National Day, so I can't go back with you."
"Just work hard, I'll go back by myself."
Chen Li could only nod, and in a blink of an eye she became excited again: "I made some money, tomorrow I'm going to the mall to buy gifts for Mom and Xingxing, what do you want, sister? I'll give it to you!"
Shen Ci was not disappointed and blurted out, "I want an evening gown."
She remembered the day when she couldn't find suitable clothes at Lu Jinzhao's investor cocktail party, and she didn't know if she would need to wear them again in the future.
"Okay, I'll give it to you!" Chen Li clasped her hands together and said with satisfaction, "I'm also going to buy gifts for Chu Han, Mina, and Yuanyuan, and then treat them to a big meal to celebrate!"
Looking at his sister's smiling face at this moment, Chen Ci felt more satisfied than ever before, because this was what his sister had always wanted but could never get.
From now on, she will do her best to protect her sister's life.
The next morning, Gu Lianxing stayed in bed until the last minute before getting up to wash and go to morning class. However, she didn't expect to see Li Xiao sitting on a bench by the roadside as soon as she went downstairs.
He looked extremely pale and dejected. Thinking of the fact that he had come to see Chen Ci yesterday afternoon and evening, Gu Lianxing couldn't help but be shocked.
"Brother, you haven't been waiting here all night, have you?"
Gu Lianxing walked forward and asked in surprise.
Li Xiao looked up when he heard the voice, and quickly stood up when he saw that it was Gu Lianxing. He was still wearing the same clothes he had worn when he left home yesterday, and it was obvious that he had not changed.
"Lian Xing, Chen Ci didn't come back all night, right?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was filled with dryness and hoarseness from not speaking for a long time. Coupled with his distraught look at the moment, Gu Lianxing couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"That's not necessary, Li Xiao. What's the point of waiting all night? Idol dramas don't even feature this kind of plot these days."
Although I felt heartbroken, I couldn't help but complain as soon as I opened my mouth.
"I'm worried about Chen Ci. Why didn't she come back all night?" Li Xiao asked as if he didn't hear Gu Lianxing's words.
Gu Lianxing sighed. She had promised Chen Ci that she would never reveal any information about her to Li Xiao, so she shook her head: "I don't know, but I advise you not to wait here. It's too scary, really."
"I still have classes and I'm going to be late. I really have to go." Gu Lianxing shook her head with a look of disapproval, and before leaving, she didn't forget to remind him again: "Go back and get some sleep. Don't faint here."
As soon as they were far away, she quickly informed Chen Ci, "Dear, please don't go back to the dormitory now. I just came downstairs and Li Xiao was standing there like a stone waiting for his husband. Oh my god, he's been waiting for you all night!"
Turning around to look at Li Xiao, he sat back in his chair, obviously not intending to leave.
Not long after, Lin Biqi came.
"Brother Li Xiao, what are you doing here?" Lin Biqi was wearing Li Xiao's favorite green dress. When the sunlight shone on her, she looked as bright as a flower. It was obvious that she had dressed up specially.
"Auntie said you went back to school yesterday. I asked your roommate and he said you didn't go back to the dormitory last night. Did you stay here all night?"
"Brother Li Xiao, please speak up! I'm asking you a question!"
Li Xiao, who was already feeling uneasy, was given a headache by Lin Biqi's noise. He suddenly looked up at her and glared at her, scolding, "What does my business have to do with you? Didn't I remind you not to bother me anymore and stay out of my sight?"
He had a fierce look on his face, and his pupils were bloodshot.
Lin Biqi was frightened by his expression, and her aggrieved eyes were suddenly filled with tears.
Li Xiao became even more upset when he saw her like this. Her skill of instantly shedding tears whenever she wanted to cry was simply invincible, and she could get into the mood in just one second every time.
"Auntie asked me to come find you because she was worried about you." Lin Biqi said in a crying voice.
Li Xiao turned his head away irritably: "I don't need anyone to worry about me, go away."
"I'm not leaving!" Lin Biqi wiped away the tears that were about to fall, and sat down next to Li Xiao with red eyes: "Auntie asked me to watch you anyway, so I won't leave unless you leave."
"Are you fucking sick?" Li Xiao stood up and shouted, "Am I a prisoner who needs you to watch over me?"
