After this incident, Xie Xihe thought that no one would disturb him at least before the performance began. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he closed his eyes, a shadow covered his eyes.
She frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.
Then he met a pair of slightly scrutinizing eyes.
The other person had neat short hair and very clear facial features. Coupled with a pair of eyes that were much narrower and longer than those of ordinary people, he revealed a different kind of heroic spirit.
It's just that the gaze is too aggressive, especially when squinting at people.
Xie Xihe was a little irritated and said in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"
Meng Ke took the opportunity to sit down on the sofa beside the girl, still observing her, and said with a slightly raised tone, "Xie Xihe?"
Xie Xihe: “…”
He pressed his temple and emphasized, "Talk about it."
Meng Ke crossed his legs and continued to look at her, smiling and saying, "Oh, it's okay."
Xie Xihe again: "..."
Seeing that the girl's face had become as pale as it could be, Meng Ke stopped and straightened his face and said, "It's really nothing. I just felt that you were a little unlike yourself today, so I came to see if you were switched."
Xie Xihe glanced at her: "What's the conclusion?"
Meng Ke looked at her again with a pretentious expression, and finally nodded: "It's genuine."
I couldn't help but sigh: "I said, I haven't seen you for two or three days, what kind of magic elixir did you take? How come you are getting more and more beautiful?"
"With a face like yours, I can't do it again even if I try to copy it a thousand times. It's also very difficult to switch it."
Xie Xihe had completely given up on chasing him away and simply moved closer to the sofa behind him, saying casually, "He didn't take any elixir, it's natural."
Meng Ke couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xie Xihe looked at the familiar face of the girl in front of him, the coldness between his eyebrows disappeared, and a faint smile spread out.
Meng Ke, like her, is also a trainee of the "Ancient Rhythm and Natural Beauty" program, and is one of her few friends in this life as Miss Xie.
Well, plastic friends.
Different from her who relied solely on her looks to advance into the top 20, Meng Ke not only had a face that was very popular with little girls, but also had countless fans with his rare talent of singing to the fullest in modern times.
In addition, his unrestrained and unique behavior has won him a large number of female fans.
Ahem, that’s right, it’s the girlfriend fan.
Meng Ke is very popular, second only to the first and second place in the entire trainee group, and is on par with Zhou Wanrou.
However, due to his rebellious personality, he was ostracized by other trainees and formed the "poor little thing" duo with Xie Xihe, who was also unsociable.
Of course, this is what outsiders see, and the two parties involved don’t take it to heart at all.
However, it was precisely because of this little "commonality" that the two of them had intersections and gradually became familiar with each other.
Coming out of his memories, Xie Xihe raised his eyelids and looked towards Meng Ke, wondering, "When did you come? Why didn't I see you before?"
"Just when you threw Zhou Xiaobailian out." Meng Ke supported his jaw with one hand, his whole body exuding unruly. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Xie Xihe, are you planning to change your style and steal my job?"
Xie Xihe said nonchalantly: "I just suddenly realized that this is more convenient."
Meng Ke laughed again and couldn't help but lean over and pinch her chin: "If you had realized this earlier, you wouldn't have been slandered for so long."
"But it's okay. It's better to wake up late than never."
Xie Xihe's eyebrows moved slightly: "Yeah."
While the two were talking, the crowd that had gathered in the center of the banquet hall gradually dispersed, leaving space in the center of the dance floor empty.
——The banquet entered the key performance segment.
The order of appearance is based on the ranking. Meng Ke is currently ranked third, so within five minutes of the start, someone came and called Meng Ke to go to the back to prepare.
Meng Ke looked at Xie Xihe and wanted to give her some advice, but his voice paused when he met the girl's sparkling peach blossom eyes.
I don't know why, but I suddenly feel like everything I say is redundant.
In the end, he just chuckled softly and walked out, waving his hand and saying, "I'm leaving first, you can do whatever you want."
Xie Xihe didn't even raise his head, but waved his hand symbolically.
Well, I can finally take a nap.

As the name of the program suggests, the theme of "Ancient Charm Naturally" is to revive the ancient style and promote the ancient charm of China.
Therefore, those who are selected as trainees have at least one or two outstanding classical talents.
For example, Zhou Wanrou's classical dance and calligraphy, and Meng Ke's qin playing and Chinese painting.
Xie Xihe is the only exception.
She was chosen because she knows a little bit of everything... well, just the basics.
Coupled with her outstanding appearance, it was natural for her to be selected by the program team as the "villain vase" role.
I guess even the production crew didn't expect that Xie Xihe, who was originally just there to make up the numbers and was expected to use her beauty to increase the popularity of the show, would actually make it into the top 20.
It also successfully became the most controversial existence in the entire program.
Today's dinner program team's director, producer, planner, supervisor and other bigwigs are also here.
When they saw Xie Xihe in her gorgeous attire, they were all stunned and secretly commented that Xie Xihe seemed a little different today.
I also wondered if her father's illness had been such a huge shock to her that she finally changed her ways and repented.
Who knew that in the blink of an eye, she was found sleeping alone in the corner.
Actually! Fell! Asleep!
Did she know that today's performance would determine whether she could ever stand on the stage again, and whether she could move forward despite the criticism?!
How could she sleep?!
The director couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "What a pity for such a good talent! With her looks, if she had any talent, she would have a chance to be in the top three. If she could get more resources later, she would be a top-tier figure. Sigh... Forget it, forget it. I'm not going to think about this for a long time."
The producer also sighed, but his expression was calmer: "Everyone has their own aspirations. She doesn't care anymore. It's useless for us to feel sorry for her."
"After all, she's a noblewoman from Kyoto, and she's just playing around. How can we control her?"
"No way, isn't it said that the Xie family has gone bankrupt? How can she still be considered a noble lady?"
"They are just used to being noble and can't let go of their pride. Who knows how much they look down on being an artist."
“…”
Seeing his men talking further and further away and going too far, the director couldn't help but frown and interrupted, "Alright, let's watch the show."
Everyone came to their senses, stopped talking and looked towards the center dance floor.
Coincidentally, it was Zhou Wanrou's performance.
