The two returned to the lounge.
They discovered that the boxed lunch had been left out for too long and had gone bad.
"It seems like we can't eat it anymore." Shi Xi noticed that her vegetables had grown white mold.
"It's been sitting out for too long," Shuo Nan frowned. "It's probably leftover lunchbox from lunchtime."
Shi Xi: "...Are we still going to eat?"
Shuo Nan said, "Change your clothes and let's go out to eat."
Shi Xi originally wanted to go back to rest.
Seeing that Shuo Nan looked unhappy, clearly annoyed by the production team, he said, "Alright."
Just consider it as keeping a friend company.
The two changed their clothes and took off their hair.
Shi Xi also took the opportunity to remove her makeup.
It's just going out to eat, there's no need to wear this stage makeup.
Half an hour later, the recording studio was still re-recording.
Shi Xi sighed about how difficult it was to make a TV show, and then went to have dinner with Shuo Nan.
Shuo Nan was very familiar with the restaurants in the area, so he took Shi Xi to a street food stall and ordered crayfish, barbecue, and beer.
There were no seats available inside the restaurant, so the two sat in the outdoor area.
Shi Xi: ?
She is, after all, a celebrity.
So you brought her here to eat at a street food stall?
What if I get recognized?
Shuo Nan noticed Shi Xi's worry and explained, "This area is mostly middle-aged people, and very few of them are fans of celebrities. I've come here to eat skewers and I've never been recognized."
Shi Xi: "Maybe it's because too few people know you."
Shuo Nan: ...
Despite her words, Shi Xi sat down calmly, though she didn't take off her hat and wore large black-rimmed glasses.
This makes it even less likely that passersby will recognize her.
As soon as the skewers arrived, Shuo Nan started complaining, "The production team always does this. They've already decided who will advance, but they still pretend to let people vote. If that's the case, what's the point of having an audience here?"
Shi Xi: "We need an atmosphere team."
Shuo Nan bit into the grilled meat fiercely, "I shouldn't have taken this show in the first place!"
"Relax, relax," Shi Xi advised, "There's only so much we can do."
"Is it really okay to just watch them cheat?" Shuo Nan sighed. "Talented people are eliminated, and those who advance are all mediocre. If this continues, what future does the dance world have?"
Shi Xi hadn't expected Shuo Nan to think so far ahead, and fell silent.
Ticket rigging for shows is an open secret both inside and outside the industry.
But how can we prevent this from happening?
"Don't worry, capable people will definitely be seen," Shi Xi comforted her. "Those whose talents don't match their positions will only fall harder the higher they stand."
"Hey." Shuo Nan downed another bottle of beer.
Shi Xi looked on with envy and poured herself a glass as well.
Oh my god, this tastes awful.
I can't drink anymore.
Shi Xi's face contorted in disgust as she continued eating the crayfish.
The two ate for a long time before Shuo Nan's assistant came to pick him up.
Shi Xi went back to the hotel to rest and even packed a portion of crayfish to take back with her, eating it while watching American TV shows.
The next morning, when Shi Xi woke up, she saw that Shuo Nan had sent her a message.
Shuo Nan: [I was drunk last night, I didn't say much, did I?]
Thinking about Shuo Nan's outburst against the production team, Shi Xi replied, "I also had a few drinks, I've forgotten everything."
Shuo Nan: [Okay.]
Just forget about it.
The truly drunk Shuo Nan held his head, racking his brains, trying to figure out what he had said.
Did you say anything you shouldn't have?
After replying to Shuo Nan's message, Shi Xi accidentally clicked into the "Dancing in the Summer" group.
When Shi Xi participates in variety shows, she gets added to WeChat groups.
She simply blocked these messages.
This time, however, Shi Xi glanced at the chat content inside.
