Zhu Lin: "24."
Shi Xi ate a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) and asked, puzzled, "You're still young, why are you so concerned about age?"
Zhu Lin shook her head. "I don't understand. Maybe she feels she's too old? There are so many minors in the entertainment industry these days, she's probably afraid of being called 'auntie'?"
Shi Xi couldn't figure it out either, so she stopped thinking about it.
Shi Xi was originally supposed to record "Landscape Life," but was temporarily replaced by Nan Wan, which became known to some people in a small circle.
Some people speculated that Nan Wan had taken Shi Xi's gig, while others said that Shi Xi was being arrogant.
Various speculations, but they are all just speculations.

A week later, "Ordinary People Makeover" officially aired.
From the moment the show aired, the stereotypical image of the female PhD student held by the makeover team displeased viewers.
"So what if she's a female PhD? So what if she's 35 and hasn't been in a relationship? Who are you to judge her?"
"It's good that Sister Qiao looks young. Even without skincare, her skin is in great condition."
"You're not allowed to talk about being unmarried at 35? If you did get married, would you even be able to have children?"
"Anyway, we're not going to have kids together, why are you so concerned? What's wrong? How much wealth do you have that you need a child to inherit?"
"..."
The production team, as expected of someone who specializes in variety shows, easily chose topics that stirred up conflict.
When it came time to choose clothes, Shi Xi was also scolded because the clothes she chose were too revealing.
"Shi Xi herself is a nightclub girl, so that's why she chose this kind of outfit, right?"
"Don't try to pick out clothes for others with this kind of taste. She's a female PhD, not a nightclub girl."
"Shi Xi is indeed a fake rich girl who can't be presented in public; the clothes she bought look so cheap."
"..."
But after Dr. Qiao expressed his liking for it, the group fell silent.
"Hilarious! Sister Qiao hasn't even said anything, so who gives you the right to point fingers?"
"To paraphrase Sister Qiao: Are you still living in the Qing Dynasty?"
"The Qing Dynasty is long gone, can't we even wear a tank top anymore? And there's a cardigan on top of that."
"..."
Because of Shi Xi, this episode garnered over a million views within just two hours of airing.
Ji Yin methodically arranged for fans to post on Weibo topics and bullet comments.
Besides the fans of each individual, there are also fans of the "Sunset Couple" (a popular on-screen couple) who are going crazy over their sweet moments:
"When Xiaobai was picking out clothes, the way he looked at his older sister was so doting! And the clothes Xiaobai picked out for his older sister were so perfect!"
"She doesn't call younger women 'sister,' she's got a wild side."
"Little Bai insisted on helping his older sister wash the vegetables. It's so sweet and I'm melting!"
"Xiao Bai knows that Xi Xi is allergic to seafood, and he deliberately protects her. He's such a gentle little brother who cares about his older sister!"
While fans were busy fighting and shipping couples, some sharp-eyed fans noticed a blind spot.
"Xixi is allergic to seafood, but Nanwan seems to have poured seafood soy sauce as a dipping sauce just now?"
"Look closely, it is indeed seafood soy sauce; that's what we use at home!"
"Holy crap! Nan Wan did it on purpose, didn't she? The same thing happened when she was adding the shrimp balls. She didn't even say anything before pouring them into the pot!"
The production team gave several shots of Nan Wan taking the initiative to help prepare the dipping sauce, in order to highlight Nan Wan's virtuous and gentle character, who is capable both in the living room and in the kitchen.
Fans love this about her, saying that Nanwan is tolerant, generous, and willing to contribute to the small team.
When the soy sauce bottle was magnified, the words "seafood soy sauce" could be clearly seen.
Netizens also found the same soy sauce bottle, directly confirming that Nanwan used seafood soy sauce.
Nanwan's fans initially denied it, but after being thoroughly exposed, they started to defend themselves:
"Not everyone knows that Shi Xi is allergic to seafood. Does that mean everyone has to indulge Shi Xi?"
"If you're so delicate, don't come to record the show! This fake heiress thinks she's some kind of little princess?"
