Chapter 9: Poor Quality
The moment Sheng Cehan saw Li Ji's information, he felt a strong sense of disgust.
Dirty, mean, never been to college, always hanging out in nightclubs... Such a man who would be considered an eyesore even if he was just seen, is now regarded as a treasure by his own sister.
Just with a gorgeous and disgusting face.
Sheng Cehan suppressed the urge to vomit in his heart.
He could only look up at his sister blankly, and it seemed that when he thought of her still burning with anger, his hand that wanted to touch her shrank back.
"I... Zhao Zhao, I'm just worried about you."
He explained it this way.
"Do you know if he's contracted any illness during those years in the nightclub? Even if he's had an abortion, it's possible he's not suitable for you to cultivate. Even if he does become famous, what are you going to do with all this negative information once it's uncovered?"
He trembled as he grabbed Sheng Zhao's trouser leg, frowned slightly, and pleaded, "Zhao Zhao, I hope you only get in touch with clean men..."
"Shut up."
"Don't send anyone to watch me anymore, and don't interrupt me anymore. Do you understand?"
Her eyes were calm, and then she suddenly grabbed Sheng Cehan's tie. The man who was half-kneeling on the ground suddenly trembled at her action. He just looked up at her, his breathing gradually became trembling and heavy, and his face flushed slightly.
"Zhao Zhao..."
Sheng Zhao frowned slightly, "I hate this. There won't be a next time."
Sheng Cehan's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he just lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.
He suppressed his curses in his heart - what a dirty and despicable man, seducing his sister.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at her eyes in a daze.
Yu Shiyun just stood quietly by the side, as if she had gotten used to it, looking indifferently at the strange brother and sister in front of her.

However, Li Ji, who was the center of the topic at this time, didn't notice anything at all. He was just attending his class seriously. He was wiping the sweat off his face with a towel. When he was resting in the corridor, he suddenly heard a commotion next to him.
It seemed like the other trainees were suppressing their screams and whispering about something.
Li Ji has always been a loner, and has been like this since he was a child.
He only heard the trainees next to him chattering, "Look, look, it's Chen Shuoxing! He's my idol, I like him so much, he's a top star, and in real life, there's no blemish on his face—"
"Ahhh, it's Chen Shuoxing. Can I go up and get an autograph?"
…
Li Ji just looked up and saw that the man was surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars, but no one dared to touch him. They just looked at him with admiration. In the center, Chen Shuoxing smiled gently and waved to the people around him, which in turn caused more screams.
He didn't have time to observe whether the man was as perfect as he was on the screen. He didn't even have the interest to look at him. He just lowered his head and sent a message to Sheng Zhao.
Then Li Ji felt that the atmosphere around him seemed to freeze. After a pause, he raised his head in confusion, and suddenly saw the man's face -
Chen Shuoxing's face was extremely delicate, as white and cold as jade, as if carefully carved by someone. His delicate eyebrows were slightly soft, yet with an indescribable arrogance. His soft hair was illuminated by the sun, exuding a fine light. He had a high nose bridge and light-colored eyes. He was simply wearing a white sweatshirt and jeans, and even with such an ordinary outfit, he still looked out of reach.
At this moment, he was standing in front of Li Ji, like a bunch of cold white bamboo carefully carved from cold jade.
He spoke softly, his voice light and gentle, yet with an aura that brooked no refusal, "Hello, my name is Chen Shuoxing."
Li Ji paused slightly.
He never imagined that he, an ordinary trainee with no fame at all, would make the famous Chen Shuoxing stop and introduce himself to him.
Li Ji's pause was only a moment, but he still extended his hand to shake hands with Chen Shuoxing, "Hello, my name is Li Ji."
His voice was hoarse and low, and his jet-black hair was slightly messy because of the dance class just now. Li Ji was dressed in black, with a cold temperament and top-notch appearance. The two of them stood together and shook hands, which made the interns on the side at a loss.
The two people's temperaments were originally diametrically opposed, but at this moment they inexplicably merged.
A trainee next to him seemed to think for a long time before he understood this sense of vision.
It was probably because of Chen Shuoxing's cold white jade and Li Ji's indifference and arrogance in all black. The temperament and atmosphere at this moment were as wonderful as white moonlight and red roses.
Li Ji didn't know why he did that. Chen Shuoxing simply shook hands and left, leaving behind Li Ji with a slightly frown and the trainees who were whispering even more noisily.
How strange...
Li Ji looked at his own slender, bony hands, which seemed to still carry the strength of Chen Shuoxing's handshake just now.
It was obvious that Chen Shuoxing's grip was so strong that it seemed to break his hand, but his face remained calm and he still looked cold and gentle.
It's strange to say, but Chen Shuoxing can combine the two completely opposite words, cold and gentle, in himself. He can even be close but also have a kind of superior indifference.
Li Ji felt a little uncomfortable, probably because Chen Shuoxing gave him a very strange feeling. He frowned and looked up to drink a sip of water. Just as he screwed the cap on the bottle, he saw a little intern boy next to him staring at him with fear and curiosity.
Li Ji: ...
He screwed the bottle cap on with an expressionless face, ignoring the gazes of the group of people.
When Sheng Zhao returned home, Li Ji had already prepared a table full of food. Sheng Zhao approached the table with sparkling eyes.
They are all her favorite dishes.
Ever since filming that ancient idol drama, Li Ji has had a lot more money. Although he only played a small supporting role, his remuneration was considerable. He just narrowed his eyes with a slight pleasure and folded his hands over his chest as he looked at Sheng Zhao's surprised expression.
"Did you start getting busy as soon as you got back from the practice room?"
"Yes." Li Ji answered nonchalantly, and even sat down to eat with Sheng Zhao at the dinner table.
His body shape is now very standard and he no longer needs to diet to lose weight.
As if chatting, he mentioned Chen Shuoxing, "That person is very strange. He appeared in front of me for no apparent reason, shook my hand, and left."
"Really?" Sheng Zhao tilted his head slightly as if in thought, then suddenly laughed, "Do you like the cheers and attention around him when he appears?"
"You'll be in his place, I promise."
"Hmm?" Li Ji didn't comment. He put a fork into a cherry tomato and was about to put it in his mouth but stopped because of Sheng Zhao's words.
He just slightly extended his tongue to lick the salad dressing on it. The rosy cherry tomatoes and the rosy tip of his tongue brought out this ambiguous haze.
"I don't like it."
He suddenly spoke.
Sheng Zhao blinked and asked him softly, "Why? Aren't you envious? Being liked and loved by so many people, and standing in a position where others can only look up to you..."
"I don't like other people's looks." He said this suddenly, the cherry tomatoes burst in his mouth, juice slightly oozing out from the corners of his lips, and his lips also became rosy because of the juice.
He licked it clean with the tip of his tongue, then lowered his eyes with a slight chill.
"And even though many people like me...I don't deserve anyone's love. If people knew about my past, I'd be regarded as the most disgusting person and hated, right?"
Sheng Zhao paused and asked, "So what's so disgusting about your experience?"
Li Ji pursed his lips, as if sneering, "Being born in a nightclub is lowly enough, isn't it?"
"But before the nightclub, you were a good student... or a good child to your mother and father?"
Sheng Zhao tried to speak like this.
"Wrong answer." Li Ji didn't sound concerned. He just lowered his head and continued eating his salad, saying calmly.
"I used to be a rebellious high school girl who was so rebellious I would do things like "Mommy Life"①. I was also the hated enemy of my parents. No matter who I asked, I would get the same evaluation."
Then he slightly raised the corners of his lips, as if waiting for Sheng Zhao's reaction.
Sheng Zhao just ate the rice in his bowl and said softly while thinking, "It's really a terrible memory. It's really hard to wash it away."
He seemed to be bored by Sheng Zhao's reaction, sneered and then said nothing.
"But being a mother really doesn't fit your personality." Sheng Zhao thought, frowning slightly. "You were so angry when you were about to be supported by a big CEO in a nightclub that you kicked him out."
“Will you feel happy if you demean yourself?”
Li Ji paused in eating, his sharp canine teeth biting the iron fork slightly, making a slightly harsh sound, but he still didn't say a word.
"He claims to be my mother and father's enemy, but in reality he's secretly sending money to his seriously ill father."
Li Ji suddenly raised his eyes, frowned slightly, his temperament suddenly dropped to freezing point, and the fingertips holding the fork trembled slightly.
He just looked at Sheng Zhao, as if asking, how do you know?
Sheng Zhao was startled by his look and muttered slightly, "You look so fierce when you look at me like that."
"Brother Hong told me. I didn't secretly investigate you."
Li Ji lowered his eyes, hiding his emotions, "...You can investigate as much as you want, but it would be better if you could see clearly what kind of inferior thing I am earlier."
In fact, he probably had some emotions.
It was probably because Chen Shuoxing was standing quietly in front of him, looking at him with her clear eyes. Her attitude was both superior and distant, so perfect that it almost revealed his inferiority.
It made him extremely embarrassed.
